Rebirth to 90s: Start from Scratch

Except for Zhang Qianxiu and several people present, they are all over 40. They have been baptized by the years and may have dreams, but they will not be moved by Zhang Qianxiu's passion.

After all, the people present are people who have in-depth knowledge and even directly participated in research in related fields.

They all know how difficult it is for what Zhang Qianxiu wants to do. At that time, the state supported for thirty years without a complete breakthrough. It was only in the field of chip technology, not including instruction sets and systems.

Any of these technologies is very complicated. Many companies focus on one field. One person starts a company and focuses on all fields. The scale of this company is larger than other companies, with greater input and output. A country may be able to complete this kind of difficult research and development work, individual companies, they are not optimistic.

Tian Shuyuan sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, our country’s economy has just started. In this regard, private enterprises are almost blank. If you really want to do it, it’s almost impossible to do without tens of billions of capital investment. ."

"Even if there is capital investment, there is still a shortage of talents. Chips are hardware talents and involve many fields; instruction sets are barely in the category of software, between hardware and software, and belong to a set of commands that connect the two; software belongs to software."

"Mr. Zhang, you have to start with a piece of sand, and have been working on software, spanning more than a dozen fields, involving more than a dozen or twenty majors. If you can't do it, you might as well focus on a certain field. More reliable."

"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 felt that Zhang Qianxiu was a newborn calf and he was not afraid of tigers.

Xiang Ding said: "Mr. Zhang, I have been doing research in chip-related industries. Chips are almost the cutting-edge technology in this field. Many doctoral-level people are required to lead the research."

"Mr. Zhang, do you know how many doctors there are in our country now?"

Zhang Qianxiu really didn't know: "How much?"

Xiang Ding said: "Since the establishment of a doctorate degree in 1981, the first batch of 18 Ph.D. students, this year the number of students in the school is more than 11 thousand."

"The number of Ph.Ds graduated in our country is less than 10,000. These are still distributed in various fields, and the doctors in the field of semiconductors can be counted by one hand."

Zhang Qianxiu did not expect that there are so few doctoral degrees. Although doctors seem to be very common after 20 or 30 years, doctors are indeed very rare now, but he did not expect so few.

Zhang Qianxiu said again: "Then we train 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 while and asked, "Professors, how much will it cost to subsidize students to study abroad?"

Tian Shuyuan said: "Generally it depends on the specific situation. If you go to the U.S., the tuition and accommodation are about 5,000 yuan a year, and the living expenses are about 2,000 yuan. The total cost for a year is about 8,000 yuan. The current exchange rate. It's about 70,000 Chinese yuan."

"Even if you study 4 years of university abroad, it will be about 280,000 Chinese yuan. If you study for a master's degree for two years, it is even more difficult to say if you study for a Ph.D. It will be a year or two quickly, and a slow five or six years."

"If you start from university until you graduate with a Ph.D., it takes about ten years on average, and the cost should be 800,000 to 1 million Chinese yuan.

"This is still under the circumstance that all fees do not increase, but tuition fees will basically increase by about 3% every year, and prices will also increase.

"It is estimated that after ten years of study, one million Chinese yuan is somewhat unbearable."

This cost was a little beyond Zhang Qianxiu's expectations, and was higher than he thought, especially the cost of completing a PhD in university.

Zhang Qianxiu pondered for a while and said, "Professor Tian, ​​I want to set up a foundation to send students overseas for further studies. I will pay all the expenses."

"My fund will only send chip-related majors to study abroad."

"But I have one condition. They must work for me for ten years when they return to the country after studying. The salary I give them will definitely be higher than the domestic average."

"If they want to stay abroad, or if they want to work in another unit after returning home, they will have to double the tuition that I sponsored and pay them back within two years."

Tian Shuyuan was taken aback for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, you send one or two people out, it won't work."

"No matter how many people there are, I will give it to anyone who is willing to go." Zhang Qianxiu said firmly: "I will first set up a fund and inject 20 million in the initial period. From now on, I will add at least 20 million every year, and all the money will be used to send results. Outstanding students go to study abroad, and when they return to China, they will come back to help us develop chips and develop their own systems."

"But I need someone to help me, dear professors, I don't know if any of you are willing to take some time to help me in your busy schedule, it can be regarded as helping our country to move towards a strong core."

Zhang Qianxiu knew that he would definitely not be able to do such a thing, and he had to get help from academia.

These professors at National Tsing Hua University naturally have this qualification. As long as they shine a light on their names, National Tsing Hua University professors, department heads, and heads of research institutes will handle everything much easier.

Zhang Qianxiu just wanted to understand the situation at first, and then slowly figured it out.

But only after you really understand it, time waits for no one!

It takes too long to train talents. Going abroad to dig is for sure, but you cannot use all foreign talents, you must have your own talents.

When Zhang Qianxiu said this, all the professors were silent.

They are professors at National Tsing Hua University. They really want to do something. There will definitely be many people who are willing to invest money for them, or invite them to go at a high price.

It's not that they don't have the opportunity. It's just that National Tsing Hua University has the best academic research environment in the country, and they don't want to do business. It is naturally the best choice for them to stay at National Tsing Hua University.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tian Shuyuan said, "Mr. Zhang, this matter is too big, and we dare not rashly agree. We will consider it."

Zhang Qianxiu said: "Professor Tian, ​​I can put this fund under the name of National Taiwan University, or your research institute, your department, I don’t need all the reputation, and I can pay out the money first, as long as the relevant documents and accounts are not available. The problem is okay. My only requirement is that after these students come back, I can work at my place, and I can sign a contract with them, and the salary is definitely higher than the domestic average."

If this fund is put under the name of National Tsing Hua University, then their department will definitely have a reputation if it has cultivated dozens of PhDs and hundreds of graduate students.

Many professors don't care about fame and wealth, but general fame and wealth. They don't care anymore. If they can get a name in such a foundation, that would be good.

More importantly, the funds were repaired by Zhang Qian.

Several professors all looked at Tian Shuyuan.

Tian Shuyuan said: "I really can't do this. I have to talk to the principal. If this is established in our school, we will definitely give priority to selecting students from our school to study abroad."

Zhang Qianxiu also understands: "Professor Tian, ​​then you can help contact me. Every word I say today is serious. If this matter can be achieved, I am willing to give your research institute a part of the research funding every year."

Any research institute is short of money, no matter how much money, the research institute will be able to give you plenty of money.

Tian Shuyuan really has some heartbeats: "Mr. Zhang, I personally still admire you very much. You have such achievements and such courage at a young age."

"I will seriously consider this matter, and then I will talk to the principal. I will call you when I get news."

"Okay!" Zhang Qianxiu also knew that this matter could not be forced.

Zhang Qianxiu and Tian Shuyuan left each other's phone numbers, chatted about the current situation for a while, and ate a bunch of lunches at the National Tsing Hua University together.

When leaving, Tian Shuyuan and others have been sent to the school gate.

Watching Zhang Qianxiu leave, a professor said, "Old Tian, ​​who do you think this gentleman is?"

Tian Shuyuan shook his head: "I can't tell, he is too young, he is still a teenager, and he is probably still in high school, but he still has some basic understanding of chips and software. In this age, most people don't know this."

"He is willing to spend so much money to come out for research. It shouldn't be a cutscene, so much money for a cutscene, that's too much."

Someone said: "Does he want to set subsidies?"

Although the country itself does not invest a lot of money in research and development, any high-tech industry still has subsidies. The country now wants to cultivate a group of companies that have gone to high-end technology.

But it is a pity that the chip industry is too high-end, and the update iterations are fast, and if it is slower, it will be delayed, and no one is willing to invest in this area.

Companies with more powerful chips in the world are basically supported by the state.

Xiang Ding said: "It shouldn't be. If Mr. Zhang wants a subsidy, why would he send someone to study abroad? The opening is 20 million, and now the state subsidy does not have this amount!"

Although these are professors, they basically have projects in their hands. They still know the approximate amount of subsidies for the state. There is no major breakthrough, and they will subsidize hundreds of thousands. If there are major breakthroughs, they will be a few million. Even if a first-class chip is made, it is estimated to be tens of millions of subsidies.

Zhang Qianxiu's sending people to study abroad is worth tens of millions.

Tian Shuyuan sighed and said: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! America, Japan, Bangzi, Europe, there are four tigers in the chip field!"

"There is also the European side, but their official support is not that big."

Now the semiconductor industry is developing very well in the three countries mentioned by Tian Shuyuan, and Europe is also good, but not as good as the previous three countries.

"Lao Tian, ​​do you think it is possible for Mr. Zhang to do it at all?" a professor asked, listening to his tone, I still hope Zhang Qianxiu will develop.

Those who can teach at Tsing Hua University still have a chance if they want to go abroad. The 1980s and 1990s happened to be the tide of going abroad. They did not leave, at least it means that they still have this land in their hearts.

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 established, it can send some people to study abroad, and when they come back, as long as they are in the country, no matter what industry they are in, they will be the mainstay of the country's high-tech research and development, and they will be high-end talents for national development. It’s a good thing, and I agree very much."

………………

Zhang Qianxiu drove the car, and Gong Zhihua, who had not spoken, tentatively asked: "Boss Zhang, do you really want to make that chip?"

In Gong Zhihua's view, Zhang Qianxiu took illegal loans from banks and did not exclude some transactions outside the law at all. It seemed that he was not a good person.

It is thankless to make chips. The high-end meat eaters, and the low-end drink Northwest wind does not look like a stable profiteering industry.

Zhang Qianxiu knew what Gong Zhihua thought, and said: "It's useless to have more money. Find a challenging industry to do it."

Gong Zhihua would not believe Zhang Qianxiu's words, he felt that Zhang Qianxiu must have secretly operated something that most people would never think of.

No matter what Zhang Qianxiu wants to do, listening to Zhang Qianxiu said that there is such a large flow of funds, he may have the opportunity to make money: "Boss Zhang, if you want to set up a fund, there are many procedures to go, and you pay, the university is named. Who will take care of it at that time is also a question. I happen to have some understanding of this aspect. If there is a need, you can contact me."

In fact, Gong Zhihua is really a talent, very good at all kinds of relationships and fund operations, but he is also very realistic, doing everything for money.

If it weren't for Gong Zhihua's greediness and his appetite, Zhang Qianxiu would really want to recruit him to help himself.

Unfortunately, Gong Zhihua’s appetite is too great. Zhang Qianxiu is worried that he will not be able to feed enough. If he has a smaller appetite, the big deal is to give him a high salary, and then the supervision and restrictions will do. But Gong Zhihua’s appetite is probably not easy to feed.

Zhang Qianxiu smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Gong will definitely be asked for help at that time."

When Gong Zhihua heard this, he was overjoyed: "Boss Zhang, don't worry, you will be handed over to me. I promise to do it properly."

Although Gong Zhihua is greedy, he has one advantage. He will only take as much as he wants. He is very trustworthy because he wants to cooperate with you next time.

Outside the bank, Zhang Qianxiu wrote a cheque for one thousand to Gong Zhihua, which was regarded as today's remuneration.

Gong Zhihua declined twice, and then thanked him with a smile.

Today, he just called and asked, and then used the relationship to contact Tian Shuyuan. It is still very easy to earn this thousand.

"Daughter-in-law, where do you want to go now?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

"I went to see Tianmen, I've been to Beijing for so long, and I haven't been to see it." Su Yuwei said.

"Good!" Zhang Qianxiu started the car.
