Qi Yafei applauded enthusiastically with a look of admiration on his face and applauded loudly; "This show of raising hands and feet is full of charm of Peking opera, very much the style of Mr. Yu Kuizhi back in the day. The lyrics are wonderful, and every word is correct. Unfortunately, the whole singing is clumsy and out of tune."
, not a single word is in rhyme, and Brother Yu felt a little urgent when he heard it."
"Some of them sound good, so don't be picky."
"Am I being picky?" Qi Yafei said, dumbfounded; "Listening to others singing is enjoyable, but listening to you singing is killing me! When we are happy, we can have two drinks, so there is no need to sing."
"Hmph, you are slandering me with malicious intent."
"Okay!" Qi Yafei could only raise his hands to beg for mercy, and said with a frightened look on his face; "You are the boss, you have the final say, let's talk about business for a while.
Regarding the establishment of the Yanjing Arctic Ocean Scientific Research Center, there is also the matter of the European Research Center.
You see, whether it is directly managed by the royal family fund, or whether it is handled by Arctic Ocean Holdings. To be honest, Arctic Ocean Holdings does not have that much money to recruit high-level researchers.
Now I only have Red Hat Systems, Athlon, and Wireless Communications Research Center, and the ones that have gone public are YouTube Video, Photo Gallery, Amazon.com, and dozens of angel-round high-tech companies, none of which can make big money.
of.
The tens of millions of US dollars in licensing fees collected by Red Hat Systems a year are not enough for scientific research and development. Every year, a large amount of scientific research funds are subsidized by the Royal Family Fund.
The Wireless Communication Research Center is slightly better, and the patent revenue received can support subsequent development.
Athlon Microprocessor Company is very large, and its investment in scientific research is also huge. If it were not for the fund support, it would lose money, and the patent licensing would barely be enough to maintain welfare.
Every other company is losing money, and the only most powerful company, Yahoo, has become independent and is directly managed by the royal family fund. We really can't afford this investment in scientific research."
When it came to getting down to business, Wang Yaocheng also became serious. He drank the red wine in his glass and placed it on the coffee table next to him.
Compared with the other three companies, Arctic Ocean Company’s annual net investment is nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars in scientific research funds alone. This is a helpless matter.
If you want to advance in science and technology, you must invest heavily.
Wang Yaocheng stood up and paced back and forth, thinking about it.
"This should be invested by the royal family fund. Externally, it will use the brand of Arctic Ocean Holdings. Internally, it will still be under direct management. This will also make it easier to coordinate scientific research forces and concentrate on doing big things."
Qi Yafei; "I think so too. In this way, the layout of our research centers in Europe, North America, and Asia will be basically straightened out, which will help to cultivate and further train scientific researchers and maintain world-class scientific research capabilities."
Wang Yaocheng thought for a while and said, "Scientific and technological cooperation with top universities in the United States needs to be strengthened. This is the core content of the 'Intelligence Introduction Project', especially the University of California at Berkeley, the University of California, Harvard University, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania.
The consortium plans to allocate US$350 million in special funds this year to fund cutting-edge collaborative research and development projects at dozens of universities, support personnel exchange training for 3,800 people, and establish scholarships and charitable donations to various universities."
"This is a great thing. It will help to continuously improve the company's reputation and social influence. The key is to reduce taxes." Qi Yafei said cheerfully; "There are many Chinese students in these schools, and their grades are generally excellent. The scholarship projects issued by the consortium
and mentors’ scientific research projects, Chinese students are the biggest beneficiaries.”
Wang Yaocheng naturally didn't need to hide anything; "Well, let the project promotion staff provide appropriate guidance and focus on the focus."
"That's no problem, everything can be compromised before money."
…
Hong Kong Royal Family Fund wholly owns four major companies and uses them as its corporate management companies. In addition, it controls HSBC Bank and directly manages enterprises, forming the entire complete context of the consortium.
The four companies, Pacific Holdings Company, Atlantic Holdings Company, Arctic Ocean Holdings Company and Caribbean Holdings Company, focus on different aspects.
Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Arctic Ocean Holdings focuses on high-tech research and development and the incubation of high-tech Internet companies, and its money burning is not as ruthless as usual.
Wang Yaocheng attaches great importance to core patent rights. Most of the patents developed by various research institutes are controlled by the royal family fund, and enterprises use technology licensing methods.
for example;
The patents generated by the Wireless Communication Technology Research Center can be authorized to be used by Atlantic Business Machines Company, and only the license fee is required.
It can also be authorized for use on Dell brand mobile phones of Yangtze River Technology Group and Playboy brand mobile phones of Huanghe Technology Group. The methods are flexible and diverse, similar to Qualcomm's licensing model.
If the consortium carefully builds Polaroid-branded mobile phones, companies within the consortium can directly save the phones without being involved in patent disputes.
In this way, the group's operational advantages can be maximized, a multi-brand strategy can be adopted, and internal friction and duplication of research can be reduced.
Therefore, the Shenzhen Future Science Park can concentrate so many research centers at once.
These scientific researches are directly allocated from royal funds and authorized to be used by various enterprises.
Each enterprise can start from its own perspective, put forward requirements from the establishment of scientific research projects to the direction of scientific research, verify it in practice and feed user experience back to each research institute for continuous improvement and progress.
Form a virtuous cycle system of scientific research investment entities...enterprises...research institutes...generating social benefits...improvements...
for example;
Atlantic Jinko Group's 0.13 micron advanced process technology, Huanghe Technology Group's fifth-generation LCD panel production line, Wireless Communication Research Center's third-generation wireless communication technology, 12-inch wafer fab complete technical process, Athlon 1, 2, 3 microprocessors, etc.
Numerous patented technologies.
These are all driven by the needs of enterprises, and the consortium organized various research centers to work together to tackle key problems, and achieved fruitful results.
Working on big projects
Scientific research personnel and funds are managed in a unified manner, and relevant scientific research institutes share sub-category projects, which greatly promotes the research and development process and efficiency, and continuously achieves great results.
This is much faster and more effective than working alone and immersing yourself in research.
Each consortium company only has an industrial design research center. This is a practical research center closest to customers, which helps reduce the burden on companies and allows them to participate in market competition with ease.
Backed by the strong scientific research strength of the consortium, the competitiveness of enterprises has increased.
for example;
The split-type LCD computers, streamlined appearance desktop computers, dual-screen flip phones, side-sliding phones, push-pull phones, rotating phones, etc. developed by Atlantic Business Machines are all unique patents of the Industrial Design Research Center.
Most of the core wireless communication technology patents come from the wireless communication research center directly under the consortium, and the patents naturally belong to the consortium.
There are exceptions here too
That is Cisco. Due to historical reasons and mergers and acquisitions of listed companies, most of the network communication equipment patents belong to itself.
Wang Yaocheng and Qi Yafei chatted for a while about the company's business, and then changed the topic to gossip.
"Brother Yafei, how old is our little niece this year? Is Qi Xiaodi 13 or 14?"
Qi Yafei asked warily, "I'm 14 after my birthday, what are I doing?"
"Captain Nobita's daughter went to the same school as Xiao Di. I heard her say that Xiao Di was chased by many boys in school. It is said that Xiao Di was very close to a boy from the school baseball team. Can you
You should pay more attention, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong at such a young age."
Wang Yaocheng sighed gossipily; "My son is too young, otherwise it would be good for the two of us to be in-laws."
When talking about this topic, Qi Yafei also felt a little melancholy.
The child has grown so old without knowing it. He has entered the rebellious stage of a girl and is very resistant to the parents' words. He is also very troubled by this.
"Xiao Di didn't listen to what we said. She was very resistant and even had a few quarrels with her mother. This child never talked back to her mother before, but now it has developed to this point. It's really frustrating. She can't even beat her.
If you don't listen to me, what can you do?
"What the hell, I'm not an expert on troubled teenagers." Wang Yaocheng finally pushed it aside.
"Tch, isn't that just saying it in vain?"
"You, you usually seem to be a very smart person, but you act like a smart bean. I say something contradictory to you, but it turns out you are really stubborn." Wang Yaocheng curled his lips and took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Qi Yafei's eyes lit up, and he knew that this guy usually had a lot of clever ideas, and he might actually have a good idea.
Then he became shy and his voice dropped three points lower;
"Brother Yaocheng, please help me! I'm really upset by my daughter during this time. Moreover, these girls in American schools think it's cool to have a handsome boyfriend. Traditional Chinese education doesn't work at all.
Son, I'm afraid Xiaodi will suffer a loss! After all, this child is your eldest niece, so you can't just sit back and watch."
Wang Yaocheng felt happy in his heart. Brother Yafei was a fan of the authorities. Seeing him caring about him made him confused. There was no need to continue stretching.
"I am indeed not an expert on troubled teenagers, but the tertiary industry in the United States is so developed that there are many psychologists who are good at this. If you take your children for psychological counseling and communicate with them sincerely, professional experts on youth issues will definitely have solutions."
"If it doesn't work, you can just change to another school. No one will recognize Xiaodi in a new environment. If you want to make trouble, there's nothing you can do for a while."
"This is a piece of cake for you. There are so many private aristocratic schools in the United States, including many near Los Angeles. Is it really difficult to deal with a rebellious adolescent girl?"
Qi Yafei slapped his forehead and said repeatedly: "Hey! I'm really hysterical. I care about my face. I always think about doing things with my daughter quietly in private. I don't want to make a fuss about the family affairs. I don't tell anyone else at all.
When I heard you say this, I suddenly became enlightened."
"That's right. There are countless rebellious boys and girls in adolescence in the United States every year. If you have a lot of money in your hand, you can hire the most professional psychologists to provide personal services. For example, you can come to your home as a guest, just like a big sister.
Make friends with Xiao Di and guide the children to talk out the things they don’t want to say to their parents and the psychological agitation in adolescence, and the problem will not be difficult to solve.”
Qi Yafei nodded with emotion and said to Wang Yaocheng, "That makes sense. Why do I think you know so much? If you don't experience a lot of scenery, you will naturally become an expert. There is a kind of long-term illness that makes you a good doctor."
Wang Yaocheng
Brother Yafei, does this count as repaying a favor with a grudge?
