Chapter 635 Invest 200 billion

If Li Jin hadn't given Hudan University such a gift that he couldn't refuse, with Mr. Huo's introduction and Li Jin's own strength, Principal Shangguan would have received him ceremoniously.

But this kind of reception is only a courtesy reception.

After all, Mr. Huo's face is there, and Li Jin himself is not the unknown young boy he was back then.

The dignified leader of the Jin Qing Department still has some cards.

But that kind of courtesy was not what Li Jin wanted at all.

Regarding Hudan University, Li Jin hopes to establish a deeper connection with it and make it a future talent training base for the Jinqing Department.

"Principal Shangguan, deans and deans, since the words have come to this point, I will make it clear."

In the small conference room of the administrative building of Hudan University, Li Jin cleared his throat in front of a group of experts and professors, sorted out his words, and spoke slowly.

"You are all top experts in the academic field, so I will introduce the role and importance of photolithography machines in detail. Everyone knows better than me."

"It is precisely because of its importance that in recent decades, it has been a key technology project blocked by the West against our country."

"But if the West blocks our technology, should we just sit back and wait?"

"Obviously that's not possible!"

"It just so happens that my Jinqing Company is involved in this field in related business."

“So I thought, I would pull together a team myself to tackle key issues in the manufacturing technology of photolithography machines. This would not only require huge amounts of funds, but also require technical support from our most cutting-edge scientific research team in the country. ."

"So, I found Hudan University."

"In the early years, Hudan University owned a photolithography machine, and we at Hudan University have the deepest experience in research on photolithography machines, so Hudan University is my best partner."

Although everyone sitting there was mentally prepared for Li Jin's words, they were still moved by his words.

"Mr. Li, you are right. We are very willing to support it if possible."

"But the problem is that such a large scientific research project requires at least tens of billions of funds, and it may not necessarily produce results."

"Once it fails, all the money, manpower and material time will be wasted. Can ordinary people accept it?"

The person who spoke was a professor of electronic information from Hudan University, and his words represented the common aspiration of the vast majority of people.

It is certainly a good thing that someone is willing to pay for their research, but the problem is that this research project is too big. Not only is it large in size and expensive, but it is also extremely risky.

"I understand that scientific research is a difficult thing after all. Frankly speaking, before making this decision, I was already prepared for the failure of this project."

Li Jin glanced at everyone in the conference room with a firm gaze and said firmly: "In one year, at least 1 billion in funds will be in place, and what I need is a cutting-edge technical team in this field in the country, without any worries. Develop domestic photolithography machines!"

200 billion!

When this number came out, there was an uproar in the conference room.

It’s good that the people sitting here are all top experts, but economically, they are ordinary people earning a monthly salary. Their salary may be much higher than that of other families, but facing the figure of 200 billion still makes their hearts tremble.

"With 200 billion, it won't be a problem to fill up this conference room." Someone said in a low voice.

In the midst of the discussion, Shangguan Xun turned to look at Li Jin and asked, "Ajin, did you provide this fund yourself, or did you get other financing?"

Li Jin said: "Jin Qing is solely responsible for it, and there is no financing involved, so I only need to be responsible for the entire project."

"And throughout the company, the scientific research team has the highest priority, with resources and funds fully allocated, and will not be interfered with by any administrative matters."

Li Jin's words made Shangguan Xun raise his eyebrows, "A Jin, please think carefully. This is 200 billion. If the research fails..."

"If it fails, Jin Qing will be at risk of bankruptcy." Li Jin continued what Shangguan Xun said.

"To be honest, Jin Qing's current cash flow is very tight. Although normal operations are not a problem, if we suddenly afford such a large scientific research project, we will inevitably fall into a serious financial crisis."

Li Jin thought about it briefly, and then said: "But in my opinion, companies are just like people, they have things to do and things not to do. Whatever you should do, no matter how difficult it is, do it as soon as possible. The current predicament is not good for Jin Qing himself. It’s also a kind of training.”

"Mr. Li, haven't you considered waiting for a period of time for the company's financial situation to ease slightly and have a certain amount of cash flow before conducting research and development?" asked a professor of macroeconomics.

Li Jin chuckled lightly and said, "According to the general laws of economics, this is indeed what we should do, but if I wait like this, how long will it take?"

"Time waits for no man. We have been waiting for too long. There is really no time to wait any longer. Someone has to be the first to rush forward!"

"If others don't go up, I will go up! Jin Qing goes up!"

Li Jin still had something to say. If possible, he really didn't want to take the risk of dragging down Jin Qing and forcefully enter into this project.

However, it is already 2000, and the first year of smartphones is about to arrive. Pingguo's new generation of smartphones must already be in the process of development.

If Li Jin wants to occupy the future smartphone market, he must firmly grasp its core technology.

More importantly, the lithography machine not only brings breakthroughs in the field of mobile phones, but also achieves cutting-edge manufacturing in the entire chip manufacturing field.

Computers, mobile phones, high-end electrical appliances, anything related to electronic products, are inseparable from the support of cutting-edge chips. It is no exaggeration to say that this is an important weapon of the country.

It is also an important technical core of the future Jinqing business empire planned by Li Jin. We absolutely cannot wait.

The longer we wait, the greater the technological gap between domestic and foreign countries will be, and the greater the difficulty will be in closing the distance or even achieving overtaking.

And these cannot be said clearly.

But even so, after Li Jin's words came to light, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room.

In any case, these experts and professors here are all impressed by Li Jin's great perseverance and courage at this moment!

"Mr. Li... is indeed young, promising, courageous, and patriotic!"
