After listening to this, Jia Hui was a little speechless. She still felt that the main purpose now should be to invest in the market, not research and development.
But looking at Ye Chen's look, it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
“What kind of company do you want to build?
You should care so much about independent research and development."
Jia Hui asked with a sigh.
"company?
Which one are you talking about?
Now we are gradually becoming a group. Qingchen Food and Brilliance Electronics are both companies under our name. In the future, there will be more companies involved in different categories in the Yip Group."
"Okay, what kind of business do you want to build?"
“Great business.”
"How great?"
"So great that people all over the world cannot live without three things in their lives, eating, sleeping, Ye Chen."
Hearing this, Jia Hui suddenly felt a chill down her back: "What, are you planning to start World War III?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, let's go, let's go to the R&D department to see how the progress is."
Ye Chen didn't want to explain any more, but stood up and walked towards the R&D department.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the bottom of a white building. Other departments usually have offices on one floor, but the R&D department is different, it is in one building!
If the R&D staff inside wanted to, they could even sleep directly in it.
Ye Chen walked in. Everyone inside was busy with their own business and didn't see him at all.
He didn't say hello, but quietly walked behind a few young people in plaid shirts and observed what these people were doing.
"Our technology is too backward. Compared with those electronic companies in Japan, it is far behind!"
one of them complained.
"Let's do it first, and catch up later. You see, our department is directly allocated to a building, and the salary is high. It can be seen that Mr. Ye is very concerned about investing in research and development."
"That's true, to be honest, as long as the money is available and we are given time, we can make better products than those devils, but there is no money, no money, no fucking money!"
"I heard that Mr. Xu went to Mr. Ye to ask for money just now. When he came back just now, he had a smile on his face. It looks like he's done it!"
"Why don't you ask how much our funding is?"
"Why don't you go?
But I guess at least a million!"
"Look, look, the layout is too small, isn't it?
Mr. Ye praised his independent research and development in various ways at the conference, so he only gave us one million?
How is that possible? You are looking down on him!"
"Then how much do you say?"
"I think at least two million!"
"It's too much. With this money, we might be able to rent a spectrum analyzer!"
"Go ahead and dream! Don't you know how expensive that thing is?"
While the two were talking, Xu Zhiyuan, who was not far away, saw Ye Chen and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Ye?
How did you come!"
Saying that, he ran over quickly.
"Ah, I have nothing to do, so I came over to see how you are doing."
Ye Chen said indifferently.
When Xu Zhiyuan heard this, he turned around and said to everyone.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. This is our Chairman of Brilliance Electronics, Mr. Ye!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and the applause that echoed him was sparse, obviously not matching the number of people here.
Xu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's good to be obsessed with work! I don't like those vain people."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, not caring about it.
"Well, what is a spectrum analyzer?"
Ye Chen asked.
"The spectrum analyzer is used to test TV pictures. Its main function is to measure the power spectrum of the signal.
The input signal of the spectrum analyzer is an electrical signal.
However, with appropriate sensors, the spectrum of other signals such as sound waves and light waves can also be measured.
There are also specialized spectrum analyzers that can directly measure the spectrum of light waves using optical techniques such as monochromators."
"But this thing is very, very expensive. It is impossible to have it in ordinary factories. It can be rented."
Ye Chen frowned when he heard this: "How expensive is it?
If you need it for work, buy one set!”
"Well, we can't buy this yet."
Xu Zhiyuan said helplessly, "Foreign countries have imposed a technical blockade on us, and it is impossible for us to buy precision instruments."
"If you have to buy it, you can only buy it through the black market on Hong Kong Island. You can buy one for 10 to 20 million, but it will definitely be old and there is no warranty."
"So expensive?
?”
Ye Chen was a little surprised.
"Well, by the way, it's ten to twenty million US dollars.
, if this game were in the United States, it would only cost about 100,000 US dollars, and it would be brand new with a warranty."
Xu Zhiyuan nodded calmly.
He had already known the prices of these devices, so he was not surprised. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to engage in independent research and development.
The feeling of being choked by someone is so uncomfortable!
When Ye Chen heard that it was U.S. dollars, he was completely confused.
He knew that China in this era was faced with a heavy technological blockade, and equipment with a little bit of technical content had to be bought at high prices from the black market in Hong Kong Island.
But I didn’t expect this high price to be too high!
The price difference is hundreds of times!
"Fuck these dogs!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but curse.
"Oh, the dogs will shake their heads when they see it."
Xu Zhiyuan said helplessly, "Mr. Ye, do we still want to buy it?"
“Let’s rent it!”
Compared with the West, China's industry in the 1990s lagged behind to such an extent that it is hard for future generations to imagine. Whether it was materials, electronic transmission, or machine tools, they were all left behind by the West.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the most unconfident young people of that era felt that everything in China was inferior to the West. From a certain perspective, this feeling was damn right.
Therefore, thirty years later, young Chinese people can often see some people in their forties or fifties who always have inexplicable confidence in the West. Even if 900,000 people have died, they still firmly believe that the other side’s system is the best in the world.
most!
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on them. The despair of those years had already crushed the bones of these people. The flesh can grow when it is gone. When the bones are gone, they are really gone.
Ye Chen continued to walk around the building, but except for Xu Zhiyuan who kept explaining behind him, no one paid any attention to him.
The working atmosphere here is very serious and depressing. Pictures are drawn and polished, and it seems that this so-called chairman is nowhere to be seen.
Faced with this kind of thing, Ye Chen couldn't say anything. After all, he didn't understand it. He could only turn to Xu Zhiyuan and said: "I want to inform you to take out the design drawings of your products and have a meeting."
"Okay, Mr. Ye, I'll call someone right away."
Ye Chen nodded and went up to the second floor.
After seeing the other party leaving, Xu Zhiyuan came behind the two of them.
When Ye Chen came in, he was watching these two people chatting.
"What did you two say in front of Mr. Ye just now?
Were you caught for not doing your job well?"
"I didn't say anything. I just wanted to discuss how much our R&D expenditures will be in the first quarter."
One of them said aggrievedly.
"I said one million, but he insisted on saying two million!"
"Mr. Xu, how much is it?"
When Xu Zhiyuan heard this, he stretched out three fingers with an extremely proud expression.
"three million?"
Everyone around was surprised!
But Xu Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "Thirty million in the first quarter!"
