In addition to Zhang Qianxiu, all of them are over 40 years old. They have been baptized by time and may have dreams, but they will not be moved by Zhang Qianxiu's passion.
After all, the people present are people who have a deep understanding of, or even directly participated in, the research in related fields.
They all know very well how difficult it is for Zhang Qianxiu to do what he wants to do. At that time, the state supported him for 30 consecutive years without a complete breakthrough. It was only in the field of chip technology, not including instruction sets and systems.
Any one of these technologies is very complex. Many companies focus on one field. If a person starts a company and wants to focus on all fields, the scale of this company is larger than other companies, and the input and output are larger. A country may be able to complete this kind of difficult R & D work. Individual companies are not optimistic.
Tian Shuyuan sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, our country's economy has just started. On the one hand, private enterprises are almost blank. If you really want to do it, without tens of billions of capital investment, it is almost impossible."
"Even if there is capital investment, there is still a lack of talents. Chips are hardware talents, involving many fields; Instruction set belongs to the category of software, which is between hardware and software, and belongs to a set of commands connecting two; Software belongs to software. "
"Mr. Zhang, you have to start with a piece of sand, and always do software. It covers more than ten fields and involves more than ten or twenty majors. If you can't do it, it's better to focus on a certain field."
"Even if you have so much money, Mr. Zhang, you don't have enough talents."
Zhang Qianxiu said, "then we will cultivate talents."
All the professors thought that Zhang Qianxiu was a new born calf, not afraid of tigers.
Xiang Ding said: "Mr. Zhang, I have been doing research on chip related industries. Chip is almost the cutting-edge technology in this field. It needs a lot of doctoral level people to lead the research."
"Mr. Zhang, do you know how many doctors there are in our country?"
Zhang Qianxiu really did not know: "how much?"
Xiang Ding said: "since 1981, when the doctor's degree was established, there were 18 doctors in the first batch. This year, there are more than 11000 students in school."
"There are less than ten thousand PhD graduates in China, which are still distributed in various fields. The number of PhD graduates in the field of semiconductor can be counted by hand."
Zhang Qianxiu didn't expect such a small number of doctorates. Although it seems that 20 or 30 years later, doctorates are very common, but now they are very rare, but he didn't expect such a small number.
Zhang Qianxiu once again said, "we should cultivate ourselves."
Tian Shuyuan said: "Mr. Zhang, it takes time, and we can't provide a better learning environment in China, so our own development in this area is limited."
Zhang Qianxiu thought for a moment and asked, "professors, how much does it cost to subsidize students to study abroad?"
Tian Shuyuan said: "generally, it depends on the specific situation. If you go to the United States, the tuition and accommodation are about 5500 yuan a year, the cost of living is about 2000 yuan, the total annual cost is about 8000 yuan, and the current exchange rate is about 70000 yuan."
"Even if you study abroad for four years, it costs about 280000 yuan. If you study for master's degree for two years, it's even harder to say if you study for a doctoral degree. It's one or two years fast and five or six years slow."
"If it takes about ten years from university to doctoral degree, the cost should be between 800000 and one million Chinese yuan."
"It's still the case that all fees don't go up, but the tuition will go up about 3% every year, and the prices will go up as well."
"It's estimated that after ten years of real study, a million Chinese dollars is not enough."
This cost is somewhat beyond Zhang Qianxiu's expectation, which is higher than he thought, especially the cost of finishing his PhD in the University.
Zhang Qianxiu pondered for a moment and said, "Professor Tian, I want to set up a foundation to send students to study abroad. I will pay all the expenses."
"My fund will only send chip related majors to study abroad."
"But I have one condition. When they return home from school, they have to work for me for ten years. The salary I give them will certainly be higher than the average level in China."
"If they want to stay abroad, or after returning home, they want to work in other units, they have to double the tuition fees I subsidize them, and they have to pay them back in two years."
Tian Shuyuan was stunned and said, "Mr. Zhang, you can't send one or two people out."
"No matter how many people are willing to go, I will send them." Zhang Qianxiu firmly said: "I will first set up a fund to inject 20 million yuan in the early stage, and then I will add at least 20 million yuan every year. All the money will be used to send outstanding students to go abroad for further study. When they return home, they will come back to help us develop chips and develop their own systems."
"But I need someone to help me, professors. I don't know if any of you are willing to take part of your time to help me out of your busy schedule. It can also help our country move towards a strong core."
Zhang Qianxiu knew that he couldn't do such a thing. He had to get help from the academic community.
The professors of Qingda are naturally qualified for this. As long as they have a good reputation, they will be able to do everything much better.
At the beginning, Zhang Qianxiu just wanted to know about the situation, and then he took a picture.
But after really understanding, I know that time does not wait for me!
It takes too long to train talents. It's certain to go abroad to dig, but we can't use all foreign talents. We must have our own talents.
When Zhang Qianxiu said this, all the professors were silent.
They are professors of Qingda. They really want to do something. There will be many people willing to give them money or invite them at a high price.
It's not that they don't have no chance. It's just that Qingda has the best academic research environment in the country, and they don't want to do business. It's naturally the best choice for them to stay in Qingda.
Tian Shuyuan saw that everyone didn't speak and said, "Mr. Zhang, this matter is too big. We dare not promise it rashly. Let's consider it."
Zhang Qianxiu said: "Professor Tian, I can put this fund under the name of Qingda, or your research institute, your department, and all reputation I don't need. I can pay first, as long as there are no problems with the relevant documents and accounts. My only requirement is that these students come back to work with me, and I can sign contracts with them, Wages are definitely higher than the domestic average. "
If this fund is listed in the name of Qingda, then if their department cultivates dozens of doctorates and hundreds of graduate students, it will certainly have a reputation.
Many professors don't care about fame and wealth, just general fame and wealth. They don't care any more. It would be nice if they could have a name in such a foundation.
What's more, the capital was fixed by Zhang Qian.
Several professors looked at Tian Shuyuan.
Tian Shuyuan said: "I really can't decide this. I have to talk with the headmaster. If this is set up in our school, we must give priority to selecting students from our school to study abroad."
Zhang Qianxiu also understood: "Professor Tian, please contact me. Everything I said today is serious. If this can be done, I am willing to give you a part of research funds every year."
Any research institute is short of money, no matter how much money, the research institute can give you huohuohuo.
Tian Shuyuan really has some feelings: "Mr. Zhang, I still admire you very much. You have such achievements and courage since you were young."
"I'll think it over carefully and talk to the headmaster. I'll call you when I get the news."
"Yes Zhang Qianxiu also knew that this matter could not be forced.
Zhang Qianxiu and Tian Shuyuan left each other their phone numbers, chatted about the current situation for a while, and then ate a lot of lunch together in Qingda.
When leaving, Tian Shuyuan and others have been sent to the school gate.
Watching Zhang Qianxiu leave, a professor said, "Lao Tian, who do you think Mr. Zhang is?"
Tian Shuyuan shook his head: "I can't see that he is too young. He is a teenager. He is probably still in high school, but he still has some basic knowledge about chips and software. Nowadays, most people don't know these things."
"He's willing to take so much money out for research. It shouldn't be a passing show. It's too much money."
Someone said, "does he want a set of subsidies?"
Now, although the state does not invest a lot of money in R & D, there are still subsidies for any high-tech industry. The state now wants to cultivate a number of high-end technology enterprises.
But unfortunately, the chip industry is too high-end, and the update iteration is fast. If it is a little slower, it will be delayed, and no one is willing to invest in this area.
The most powerful chip companies in the world are basically supported by the state.
Xiang Ding said, "I don't think so. If Mr. Zhang wants a set of subsidies, why does he send people to study abroad? If you open your mouth, it will be 20 million. Now there is no such amount of state subsidies! "
Although they are all professors, they basically have projects in their hands. They know about the amount of state subsidies. If there is no major breakthrough, they will be subsidized by hundreds of thousands. If there is a major breakthrough, they will be subsidized by millions. Even if they make first-class chips, it is estimated that they will be subsidized by tens of millions.
It's tens of millions for Zhang Qianxiu to send people to study abroad. Even if he gets the subsidy, it's a drop in the bucket.
Tian Shuyuan sighed and said: "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! The United States, Japan, Bangzi and Europe are four tigers in the field of chips
"There is also the European side, but their official support is not very strong."
Now, the semiconductor industry, as Tian Shuyuan said, has a good development trend in these three countries, and Europe is also good, but it is not as good as the former three countries.
"Lao Tian, do you think Mr. Zhang has any possibility to do it?" A professor asked, listening to his tone, he still very much hoped that Zhang Qianxiu would develop.
People who can teach at Qingda still have a chance to go abroad. The 1980s and 1990s were the tide of going abroad. They didn't go. At least it shows that they still have this land in their heart.
Tian Shuyuan said, "I hope so! But seriously, considering the reality, I really don't think Mr. Zhang has any chance. "
"But anyway, if this fund can be set up and send some people to study abroad and wait for them to come back, as long as they are in China, no matter what industry they are in, they will be the mainstay of national high-tech R & D and the high-end talents for national development. It will be a good thing in the end. I am very much in favor of it."
………………
Zhang Qianxiu was driving. Gong Zhihua, who had never spoken, tentatively asked, "boss Zhang, do you really want to make that chip?"
In Gong Zhihua's view, Zhang Qianxiu's illegal loan from the bank does not exclude some transactions outside the law at all. It seems that he is really not a good person.
It's a thankless business to make chips. The high-end companies eat meat and the middle and low-end companies drink from the West. It doesn't look like a stable profiteering industry.
Knowing what Gong Zhihua thought, Zhang Qianxiu said, "it's useless to have more money. Find a challenging industry to do it."
Gong Zhihua won't believe Zhang Qianxiu's words. He thinks that Zhang Qianxiu must have some secret operation that ordinary people can't think of.
No matter what Zhang Qianxiu wants to do, listening to Zhang Qianxiu say that with such a large amount of capital flow, he may have a chance to make money: "boss Zhang, if you want to set up a fund, there are many procedures to go, and it is also a problem for you to pay for it. Who will be in charge at that time? I happen to have some understanding of this aspect. If there is a demand, you can contact me."
In fact, Gong Zhihua is really a talented person. He is very good at all kinds of relationships and capital operation, but he is also very realistic. He does everything for money.
If it wasn't for Gong Zhihua's greed for money, and he still had a big appetite, otherwise, Zhang Qianxiu would really like to recruit him to help himself.
Unfortunately, Gong Zhihua's appetite is too big. Zhang Qianxiu is worried that he will not be able to feed himself. If his appetite is smaller, the big deal is to give him a high salary, and then use regulatory restrictions. However, Gong Zhihua's appetite is not easy to feed.
Zhang Qianxiu said with a slight smile, "manager Gong will definitely help me then."
When Gong Zhihua heard this, he was also very happy: "boss Zhang, don't worry. I'll take care of your business. I promise it will be done properly."
Although Gong Zhihua is greedy, he has one advantage: he will only take as much as he wants to cooperate with him. He is very trustworthy, because he wants to cooperate with you next time.
Outside the bank, Zhang Qianxiu wrote a check for 1000 yuan to Gong Zhihua, which is today's reward.
Gong Zhihua declined twice, then said thanks with a smile.
Today, he just called to ask, and then used the relationship to contact Tian Shuyuan. It was very easy for him to earn 1000 yuan.
"Daughter in law, where do you want to go now?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.
"I went to see Tianmen. I haven't been to Beijing for such a long time." Su Yuwei said.
"Good!" Zhang Qianxiu starts the car.
