Just when Ni Guangnan was indulging in some kind of sigh and yearning for Qingtian, Fang Chen looked at Ni Guangnan with a strange expression.

"Mr. Fang, is there something wrong?"

Ni Guangnan looked at himself and said unclearly.

"General Manager Ni, what do you think?" Fang Chen looked at Ni Guangnan and said helplessly.

Now, Ni Guangnan was as confused as Monk Zhang Er.

However, Fang Chen didn't mean to bully an honest person, and he said directly without any hesitation: "General Manager Ni, you really have never thought about the status and treatment you can get when you come to Qingtian."

To be honest, at this moment, Fang Chen really had a sense of deja vu as he kidnapped Ni Guangnan and Ni Guangnan lost money.

After such a fuss, I couldn't wait to work for Qingtian right away. It was really weird that I didn't even mention the remuneration at all.

Ni Guangnan blushed, this was indeed his negligence.

He may not care about salary or anything else, but status is definitely indispensable.

After Lenovo's lessons, he already knew that even if he only wanted to do scientific research, he must have a considerable status in the company. Otherwise, he would not even be able to decide what he wanted to study and whether he could study it.

"Director Ni, I now appoint you as the chief engineer of Qingtian Chip. The level is set as Q3, with an annual salary of 1.6 million, plus new year bonuses and other calculations. And as the chief engineer level, you can have 100 million in research every year.

The amount of funding." Fang Chen said seriously.

Although he knew that Fang Chen should not treat him badly, and Qingtian's treatment was notoriously good, after hearing this, Ni Guangnan couldn't help but be stunned.

To be honest, he has actually made preparations if Fang Chen appoints him as deputy chief engineer, or in some respect, the head of the laboratory.

After all, although Lenovo is also a big company, compared with Qingtian, it is really insignificant and not worth mentioning, even if Qingtian Chip is only a subsidiary of Qingtian.

Just looking at Fang Chen's investment in Qingtian chips, it is not comparable to Lenovo, let alone 100 billion. In about twenty years, Lenovo may not be able to invest 10 billion in project construction.

Furthermore, as a company with more than 100,000 employees and nearly 10,000 scientific researchers, Qingtian may have many senior scientific research technicians eyeing the position of Qingtian Chip Chief Engineer.

So he, the chief engineer of Lenovo, may not be able to continue to be the chief engineer at Qingtian.

Even the reason why he dared to think about being a deputy chief engineer was because he had the title of academician.

But he believed that if Fang Chen let the power of Qingtian Chip go out, many academicians would be willing to come to Qingtian Chip to be the chief engineer.

After all, such a large investment and such an important scientific research project is a lifelong dream for any scientific researcher. Once it is completed, not to mention being famous in history and honoring the ancestors, at least you will die without regrets in this life.

But Fang Chen appointed him as chief engineer so easily, how could he not be surprised.

As for the annual salary of 1.6 million, to be honest, even though he doesn't love money very much and doesn't care much about material treatment, when he heard this number, he still felt a little confused.

You must know that his salary at Lenovo is already the highest in the company, higher than that of CEO Liu Chuanzhi, but it is only two thousand yuan per month, plus political hall allowances, academician allowances, etc.

, almost 3,000 yuan. In total, the annual salary does not exceed 40,000 yuan.

Although the income of a visiting scholar is much less than the more than 200,000 yuan a year he earned in Canada, it already makes him very satisfied. After all, it is twice the annual salary of Liu Chuanzhi.

But now, Fang Chen suddenly increased his salary by forty times.

At this moment, he finally had a clear understanding of Qingtian Company's high salary, which was only rumored. It was high, it was really too high, it was a bit scary.

However, what shocked him the most was that he could command a research fund of 100 million.

Having been a scientific researcher for such a long time, especially a chief engineer, he naturally knows some rules very well.

The chief engineer, as the general engineering and technical person in charge of an enterprise and the highest approver of scientific research projects, usually has some flexible scientific research funds in his hands.

The chief engineer can then supplement this funding to scientific research projects that he feels are more important and urgently need key breakthroughs, or he can use this funding to establish new scientific research projects based on his own interests and ideas.

The management of an enterprise is nothing more than human rights and financial rights.

So this research fund that belongs to the chief engineer is an important part of the financial power in the hands of the chief engineer and is a reflection of the chief engineer's authority.

But a research fund of 100 million...

Ni Guangnan suddenly felt like he was Grandma Liu, and everything he saw was new and shocking.

But this can’t be blamed on him. Lenovo’s scientific research funding ranges from a few million to 10 million all year round. As a chief engineer, the research funding at his disposal is naturally not much, basically around 1 million.

.

Compared with 100 million, it is like the heavens and the earth.

In addition, even he, the chief engineer, has as much as 100 million scientific research funds in his hands. So how much is Qingtian Chip's total scientific research funds per year?

I'm afraid it will cost at least 500 million, and it wouldn't be surprising if it doesn't even reach 1 billion.

After all, Fang Chen had said that this was a large investment of 100 billion. Even if he discounted it, based on his understanding of Fang Chen, it would be at least 30 to 50 billion.

With such a large investment, scientific research funding is naturally indispensable.

Suddenly, an indescribable pain spread in his heart.

At Lenovo, Liu Chuanzhi actually reduced the scientific research funding from just a few million to less than 10 million by almost 50%.

Watching Ni Guangnan fall into a certain emotion, his face turning red and white for a while, Fang Chen suddenly had a realization in his mind.

He patted Ni Guangnan on the shoulder and said: "General Manager Ni, let him go completely and don't think about it again. What you want now is to find a way to make Qingtian Chip better and let Liu Chuanzhi

I know that your choice, Ni Guangnan, is correct, and you can carve out a bright future for Huaxia Chip."

Ni Guangnan nodded silently.

"But, Mr. Fang, let me ask, how much is the scientific research funding of Qingtian Chip?" Ni Guangnan cheered up and asked.

"This year, I'm afraid it's the 100 million you have in your hands. After all, the work on Qingtian Chip has not officially started yet. As for next year, the scientific research expenses of Qingtian Chip will not be less than 2 billion, and the production line, equipment

, including the purchase of software, etc., the investment will not be less than 5 billion." Fang Chen thought for a while and said.

Although he had become more or less immune to Fang Chen's work, Ni Guangnan still felt dizzy and overly excited when he heard about the two billion scientific research funding.

After a long time, Ni Guangnan came to his senses and sighed faintly: "Lenovo probably won't be able to spend so much of the two billion scientific research funds in a hundred years."

Fang Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ni Guangnan. This complaint was quite sinister, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

Ni Guangnan felt that at this time, his head was still confused, he couldn't figure it out at all, and he even felt a little burdened.

The burden of having too much money and not being able to spend it.

The projects he handles are basically in the millions. Even the total investment in Lenovo switches is only five to six million.

Now, two billion was placed in front of him for him to spend. He really didn't know where to start spending it or how he could spend all the two billion.

"Mr. Fang, is this scientific research funding too much? I think we can just keep it steady, take our time, and don't put too much burden on the head office." Ni Guangnan couldn't help admonishing.

To be honest, when it comes to scientific research funding, he has always asked for as much as he can. For this reason, he often quarreled with Liu Chuanzhi and the others.

But this time it was really different. Fang Chen gave too much scientific research funding, so much that he didn't know how to spend it and couldn't bear to spend it all.

After all, scientific research funding is usually a relatively large burden for companies, draining their profits to the outside world.

He was now worried that if Qingtian's blood was drawn too harshly, Qingtian's business would have problems and Qingtian would collapse.

This kind of worry is similar to the worry that a vampire has for his only blood servant.

After all, if the only blood servant is sucked to death, then the vampire will not be far away from death.

Therefore, he feels that we should pay more attention to sustainable development.

"Is there a lot of funding for scientific research?"

Fang Chen looked at Ni Guangnan and said with a half-smile.

"More!" Ni Guangnan said firmly.

"Actually, I don't think it's much. Intel's current research funding for a year is almost one billion U.S. dollars, which is for new CPU chips. The research and development funding invested in the Pentium series is as high as five billion U.S. dollars. Qingtian is now with others

The gap is so big, if the scientific research funding invested is not as good as Intel, how can we catch up with Intel?" Fang Chen asked with a smile.

One billion U.S. dollars, according to the previous exchange rate, was 5.7 billion Chinese dollars, but this year, Dean Zhu reformed the Chinese exchange rate.

All of a sudden, the exchange rate between the Chinese currency and the US dollar was directly reduced from 5.7:1 to 8.7:1. The Chinese exchange rate suddenly dropped by nearly 60%. It can be said to be a substantial depreciation. Compared with before, he attacked the British pound and made the British pound drop by 25%.

% exchange rate is much more ruthless.

However, fortunately, China has always adopted a fixed exchange rate instead of a floating exchange rate. Coupled with foreign exchange controls, foreign exchange cannot be exchanged at will, and there is no short-selling mechanism. Therefore, speculators like predators would not be able to make profits from it. Otherwise,

I'm afraid that China's foreign exchange will definitely be severely robbed.

If China does not adopt foreign exchange controls and has a short-selling mechanism.

Then, the financial giants who get the news can first borrow a sum of money from China and then convert the money into US dollars.

After China's exchange rate is adjusted, the US dollars will be converted into Chinese currency according to the new exchange rate, and the loan will be repaid.

Calculated based on the difference between the old and new exchange rates, these financial giants can earn more than 30% profit by flipping hands.

If we continue to adopt a floating exchange rate, the outcome will definitely be worse than the UK's previous outcome.

As for why, China has lowered China's exchange rate to this point.

The reason is also very simple. China's exchange rate has always been artificially high. Although on the surface it has always been more than five points to one dollar, in fact the exchange rate on the black market has always been ten to one dollar.

As for the artificially high exchange rate, although China's import costs will be lower on the surface, it will also lead to a decrease in the competitiveness of Chinese products in the market.

After all, Chinese products will eventually be priced in US dollars.

For example, if a cup sells for ten yuan in China, then according to the previous exchange rate, in order not to lose money, the US dollar price needs to be US$1.8.
