The procurement and project research and development funds of up to hundreds of millions of dollars were easily approved in front of me, which shocked Yuan Zhenhai, as Ning Yan's mentor.

The huge amount of funds needed by hundreds of projects were simply approved. Ning Yan was also surprised, but what followed was because of being trusted and understood, so he couldn't help but say. "Mr. Fu, I am really grateful. In the last few research projects, because the funds required for the equipment were too high, even the researchers who applied felt that they were not very hopeful to be approved, so they were delayed to the present..."

"The cost required by the research institute cannot be saved! Microsoft's annual R&D expenditure is as high as tens of billions of dollars, Intel follows closely, and South Korea's Samsung's investment in R&D is also calculated in billions of dollars. If it is unwilling to invest in R&D, how can there be output? A certain technology patent can charge a licensing fee of over 100 million yuan, but who knows how much money it consumed before success and how many times it has failed? So, R&D investment must be continuous. It will be inevitable to set up R&D expenses based on sales. Otherwise, the future of the company will not be controlled by the company. It is absolutely impossible to be controlled by others..."

Ning Yandao. "Mr. Fu, there will definitely be no breakthrough in the research and development of certain projects in the short term, and it may even be that some projects will fail in the end and will not be able to obtain any technical achievements..."

"It's okay! I'm responsible for the funds, you're responsible for the review and guidance. If you have any projects that are not accurate, you might as well tell me. Although I don't understand technology, I think I still have a certain sensitivity to the direction of technological development. Even Chloe can sometimes put forward excellent and creative opinions, right?"

Seeing that everyone turned their faces and stared at them, Little Chloe, who was lying on the table, blushed, but straightened up proudly. "Yes, I also think that some of my views are constructive, and the key point is that I will not charge any fees at the moment, so if there are problems that cannot be solved in the future, you can come to me, and I promise to give you the most sincere advice..."

Everyone laughed.

Chloe looked puzzled and didn't understand what he was saying wrong, so he pulled Fu Zhengyi's sleeve.

Fu Zhengyi nodded seriously. "Everyone thinks you are right!"

Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes turned, lowered his voice. "Dad, then if my suggestions are correct and useful, can we charge some compensation appropriately?"

Fu Zhengyi was stunned for a moment before nodding. "You can consider it!"

"Yeah! I need to save money, I need to save a lot of money. I want my room to be filled with big teddy bears. I also want a big teddy bear who is taller, fatter and cuteer than you. Sleep with me..."

The childish wish once again made everyone present laugh.

The episode triggered by Chloe passed, and Yuan Zhenhai spoke when Ning Yan packed up the documents and was about to enter the next issue. "Xiao Fu, there is something I want to tell you..."

"Please say it!"

"It's like this. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and we have a cooperative project that is preparing to research and redesign the architecture based on Windows-intel. At present, the global computer chips are almost monopolized by Intel. Whether it is based on business or from the perspective of national information security, we need to break this monopoly, research and develop computer chips with independent intellectual property rights..."

Fu Zhengyi was a little dizzy about some of the special terms used by Yuan Zhenhai, but overall he understood it. After he finished speaking, he said, "Do you mean you want to challenge Intel's chip design?"

"Yes! The project funds have raised 60 million yuan. The Chinese Academy of Sciences originally agreed to pay another 100 million yuan, but for some reasons, the funds may not be available next year or later. You must know that technical research cannot be delayed. We must chase them up to have a chance to catch up..."

Fu Zhengyidao. "How much?"

Yuan Zhenhai was stunned. "What's the price?"

“What is the overall investment in this project?”

"Two million! Currently, only 60 million are in place, and we invested 40 million..."

Fu Zhengyi shook his head. "Professor Yuan, is this matter you presided over?"

"Well, I'm just the person in charge of one of the parts, and the funding problem is quite serious, so..."

Fu Zhengyi said seriously. "Professor Yuan, I understand what you want to say and do, but the problem is that I have to pour some cold water on you in this matter. Some things cannot be done with just a passionate and a patriotic heart!"

Yuan Zhenhai was stunned. "Xiao Fu, what do you mean?"

"Do you know how much Intel's R&D funding is in one year?"

"The R&D funds for our project are definitely not easy to compare with manufacturers like Intel..."

Fu Zhengyi said. "Since you know that Intel has invested huge amounts of money in developing core chips, why do you have the confidence to feel that it can reach the technical level that people spend tens of billions or even tens of billions of dollars in just 20 million US dollars? Don't you think that the domestic technical level in this area is much worse than that of foreign manufacturers?"

Yuan Zhenhai was displeased. "Xiao Fu! Don't always feel that the foreign moon is rounder than ours! Everyone has just grown a head, and some things are the most difficult to think about, not to do! You know, our country has no foundation for developing atomic bombs. Did they eventually create the difference?"

"Professor Yuan, don't put me on the hat! I never think we are stupider than foreigners. But the problem is that some industries need to accumulate, and they need many R&D personnel with solid foundation and creativity and imagination. The problem is in this regard, I don't think that some of you Jiaotong University, or some professors, can achieve it with a passion and patriotic heart. The technical gap needs to be pursued, but it is not to rashly propose an impossible goal and waste the country's special R&D funds in vain and waste the professional wisdom of R&D personnel!"

Seeing that the two sides were quarreling, Ning Yan hurriedly advised. "Professor Yuan, it is no longer an era when you will be beaten if you are backward. Foreign technology is advanced, so let's take it and use it first. Understand where the opponent is strong, but you must also know your shortcomings so that you can catch up in the process of catching up..."

Yuan Zhenhai stood up in anger. "It's all nonsense! I don't even have any confidence, so why are you talking about pursuing?"
