Chapter 1113 No Money
Ms. Huang was so excited that she found Chen Changan as soon as she got off the plane.
"Director Chen."
Standing in front of the office door, Ms. Huang was very excited looking at Chen Changan, whom she hadn't seen for almost a year.
It was Chen Changan who took her to the chip exhibition in Las Vegas, where she met many Chinese people working in the chip industry in the United States.
In nearly a year at Microsoft, he learned a lot.
Thinking about Chen Changan’s original promise, Ms. Huang came back this time prepared to do something big.
Chen Changan was also delighted to see Ms. Huang's return.
Although Chen Changan knew in his heart that given Ms. Huang's personality, it would be impossible for her to stay in the United States forever.
However, foreign chip research is getting stronger every day, while our country's chip research has been stagnant.
As the saying goes, if you don't move forward, you will move backward.
If Ms. Huang delays too long, it will not be easy to catch up with chip powers.
"Ms. Huang is back? Come and sit down. Xiao Yang will pour some tea for Ms. Huang."
As Ms. Huang sat down, Chen Changan continued to ask.
"How's life been at Microsoft lately?"
"As for learning, the level and environment at Microsoft are definitely much better than here.
Especially in large international companies like Microsoft, the employees are all top talents from all over the world.
To be honest, when it comes to chip technology, if you don’t go out and take a look, you really don’t know where the gap is.
After studying for this period of time, I understand the gap between my country and Europe and the United States in chip technology.
But I am confident that as long as the funds are in place, I will be able to surpass it in three years at most."
Speaking of this, Ms. Huang's face was full of excitement, but her face was a little embarrassed when she heard Chen Changan's words.
But Ms. Huang obviously didn't notice Chen Changan's expression and continued talking to herself.
She believes that Chen Changan is the domestic leading cadre who knows the most about chips.
Not only did he talk about his experiences and what he learned at Microsoft, he even said that Microsoft brought back two chip talents who were willing to serve the country.
Seeing that Ms. Huang was getting more and more excited, Chen Changan felt a little embarrassed, so he took advantage of the moment when Ms. Huang was drinking tea to speak.
"Ms. Huang, I have something I'm not sure if I should tell you or not."
Ms. Huang was stunned for a moment, then spoke readily.
"Is Director Chen afraid that I'll ask for too much?
This trip to Microsoft also made me understand a truth.
The chip industry is a systematic one. It doesn’t mean you are successful just because you have achieved results in the laboratory.
Instead, it requires continuous research, continuous development, and continuous progress.
This not only requires a large number of scientific researchers, but also a huge amount of funds.
Therefore, I think that research on chips needs to be jointly promoted by industry, academia and research institutes, complementing each other, achieving mutual success and achieving win-win cooperation.
Only by relying on the continuous supply of talents from universities can new research on chips be completed in experiments.
Only then can we get the product from the laboratory and bring it to the factory for mass production.
Only when the new chips are sold and profits are made can there be funds to continue investing in the laboratory to complete new research.
Only in this way can we achieve healthy development.
I know the situation in our country. Even for car manufacturers, it is not enough to continue to invest in chip research.
Considering that talents from universities will be assigned to our research institute first, and the chip factory is about to go into production, it is just a matter of funding for the research laboratory.
During this year, I also did some design in my spare time.
Once we can achieve mass production, I think it will be at the international leading level.
So Director Chen only needs to give me some start-up capital, and the situation of the entire institute will improve quickly."
"Ms. Huang, the ministry has now successively launched a machine tool factory and a chip factory.
These days, funding from higher authorities is calculated, and with the current focus on building venues for the Asian Games, the ministry is essentially out of money."
Ms. Huang was originally smiling as she listened to Chen Changan's words, but when she heard Chen Changan say that the department had no money, her brows suddenly frowned.
"Originally, the car manufacturer had quite a bit of money in its account, and the funds for chip research and development were sufficient.
But the Ministry of Film and Television received a lot of letters from the public.
They say there are only a few TVs in the TV station, so I hope to see new TV series.
Internally, they wanted to film Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and as you know, my wife works in the film and television department, so they spent 70 million right away."
"Seventy million?"
Ms. Huang took a deep breath. If the 70 million yuan was put into their chip laboratory and used sparingly, the chip she designed herself would probably have been able to complete mass production in the laboratory.
Following Chen Changan's words, Ms. Huang also understood what Chen Changan meant.
The only problem was that they were out of money. She couldn't understand why Chen Changan was willing to spend 70 million to make a TV series but couldn't come up with the money to research chips.
Chen Changan is considered to be the domestic leader who understands technology and chips best.
Even Chen Changan is like this, so there is no hope for other leaders. Will his chip plan fail again?
“Originally, even if the car factory funded the filming of the TV series, it still had some money in its account.
But after the designer inspected the Asian Games Village a few years ago, the relevant departments accelerated the construction of various venues. Since the superiors were also short of money, the automobile factory donated another 50 million to build the venues for the Asian Games.
This time the car factory really has no money left.
The main reason is that I didn’t know Ms. Huang would come back at this time.
According to my plan, by the middle of the year, the car manufacturers will receive a large amount of funds, which will be enough to support chip research.
So at present, funds in various departments are very tight.
Even if they had some money, it would be taken away by their superiors.
There is no way. The Asian Games is the first time that our country has hosted such an event, and it concerns the country's image.
I hope Ms. Huang can understand my difficulties. I promise you that by the middle of the year, once the funds from the automobile factory are in place, I will immediately provide you with research funding."
Looking at Chen Changan's sincere expression, Ms. Huang, who had not returned to China for nearly a year, was not clear about the specific situation of the Asian Games.
Although Chen Changan was so frank and did not mean to be perfunctory with her, Ms. Huang still looked lost.
Ms. Huang, who was originally very excited and wanted to do something big, was now very disappointed.
"Director Chen, can't you provide any funding at all?"
Chen Changan also sighed. He didn't expect Ms. Huang to come back so early. There was indeed some financial pressure.
Seeing Ms. Huang's lost look and still asking unwillingly, Chen Changan thought for a while and said.
"How about this, let's go to our superiors together tomorrow and see if they can provide some funding for the chip research institute.
If that doesn't work, I can only allocate another 10 million to Ms. Huang from the car factory's account.
This is the maximum I can take out at the moment, after all, the department has so many factories under its jurisdiction. I have to keep some money for emergencies, right?
