Chapter 297 The Foundation Is Established!
Since entering college, Chen Tianpeng has regarded Ning Chen as his idol, and after Ning Chen gradually moved to a higher level, Chen Tianpeng's emotions became stronger.
"Brother Chen, Xingchen Technology has now become one of the top technology companies in the world. But after all, Xingchen Technology alone cannot solve all technical problems. I hope to use my own strength to do something that Xingchen Technology cannot take into account. project."
"Tianpeng, what specific projects do you want to do?"
"Well... what I'm thinking of right now is the direction of the screen or the lens. I feel that although these technologies are not as important as chips, they are also indispensable in many technological devices. However, whether it is Xingchen Technology or Warwick Company, they are still There’s no movement to address these technologies.”
After hearing these ideas from Chen Tianpeng, Ning Chen nodded seriously, and at the same time, he also expressed his deep approval of the directions proposed by Chen Tianpeng.
As Chen Tianpeng said, Xingchen Technology alone cannot solve all technological problems.
At present, Xingchen Technology's key research projects are only limited to a few key areas. The research of many other projects still requires the efforts of other technology companies.
Without excellent screens, lenses and other accessories, no matter how good the chip is, it still cannot be assembled into a sufficiently good device.
"Tianpeng, just feel free to follow your direction. We will do our best to provide you with the greatest help." Ning Chen said.
"Yes, Tianpeng, although we are not as powerful as Ning Chen, we are still teachers from the School of Materials Science and Technology of Shengzhou University. If there are any horizontal topics in the future, you are welcome to cooperate with us."
Seeing that everyone was very supportive of his idea, Chen Tianpeng also felt a little moved.
"With your support, I really feel relieved. At that time, I was a veritable student in our dormitory. I didn't expect that you could still trust me so much."
"Tianpeng, there is no need to belittle yourself like this. After all, our dormitory is not an ordinary dormitory. In our school, your grades are pretty good. What's more, you did this without studying seriously."
After thinking for a while, Ning Chen continued:
"Tianpeng, do you have any difficulties with funds?"
In fact, normally, Ning Chen does not have to worry about Chen Tianpeng's financial problems. After all, Chen Tianpeng's family is much wealthier than ordinary families, otherwise it would not be possible for Chen Tianpeng to have such an easy opportunity to start a business.
But from the perspective of the whole country, or even the world, the little money Chen Tianpeng's family has is definitely not worth mentioning.
Now Ning Chen already has very rich wealth. If Chen Tianpeng really has a very good plan, Ning Chen is also willing to provide some support to Chen Tianpeng.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Chen Tianpeng replied:
"I have prepared some funds. Of course, the more funds, the better, otherwise it will be difficult to expand the industry. Brother Chen, do you want to invest some funds in me... Hey, actually this is my first time starting a business, so I also I don’t have that much confidence, and my family’s money is fine. If I lose Brother Chen’s money, I’ll feel a little sorry.”
In front of Ning Chen, Yang Yan and the former commander, Chen Tianpeng still seemed a little inferior. Chen Tianpeng knew that there was a huge gap between him and them in terms of professional knowledge.
Ning Chen didn't have any worries about Chen Tianpeng because of this. As long as Chen Tianpeng wanted to do this from the bottom of his heart, even if he lost some of his own money, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Of course, Ning Chen would not just transfer the investment funds to Chen Tianpeng casually, so he said:
"Tianpeng, when you write out the mature plan and send it to me, if I think there is no problem, the investment funds will definitely be in place. Whether you make money or lose money in the future, this is completely acceptable."
"Brother Chen, I'm so touched that you can say that. I will definitely do my best not to let you down."
By the end of the meal, everyone seemed a little tipsy.
Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai were relatively good friends. Ning Chen would not get drunk easily now, while Yuan Shuai did not drink too much. After all, he had to go to the laboratory normally the next day.
Chen Tianpeng and Yang Yan drank a little too much, especially Yang Yan, whose drinking capacity was not as good as Chen Tianpeng's. He kept drinking with Chen Tianpeng, so he obviously drank a little too much.
At this time, Yang Yan suddenly said emotionally:
"Brother Chen, to be honest, I really regret not going to your laboratory at that time. It's not that I have any opinion against you, it's just that being under your light all the time will make me look a lot dimmer. But the fact is It proves that my choice was wrong, and the current achievements of the former coach are enough to prove this."
In fact, Yang Yan's current scientific research path is relatively successful. Although he has not published in top journals such as "Academic Sky" and "Nature" like Yuan Shuai, he has also published several papers in SCI area 1, which ranks him among his peers. It's pretty outstanding.
But compared with the current former coach, Yang Yan does seem to be inferior, which makes Yang Yan inevitably feel a little unfair.
You know, when he was in school, Yang Yan was second only to Ning Chen in the School of Materials Science and Technology of Shengzhou University.
Yang Yan's words made the former commander feel a little embarrassed, but the former commander also knew in his heart that his ability was indeed inferior to Yang Yan, and the former commander could understand Yang Yan's mood.
Ning Chen faced this matter relatively calmly, thought for a while and said:
"Yang Yan, we all have our own reasons for the choices we have made in the past, and there is no need to regret it. Just like when I received invitations from Shuimu University, Yenching University, MIT, etc., but in the end I still chose to stay at Shengzhou University. To be honest, during this period, I also hesitated whether it would be better for me to make other choices. But, if you have not experienced this kind of thing once, who can really say clearly? Woolen cloth……"
Listening to Ning Chen's words, the negative emotions in Yang Yan's heart gradually dissipated a lot.
Just like Ning Chen said, these were the choices Yang Yan made after careful consideration.
Even if Yang Yan really chooses to go to Ning Chen's laboratory, he may not be like the current Marshal Yuan, because Yang Yan and Marshal Yuan are two people with completely different personalities, and Yang Yan may not be able to adapt to the environment and environment of Ning Chen's laboratory. identity.
Having a laboratory where he can be the focus of training may be the most suitable choice for Yang Yan.
Seeing that Yang Yan's mood was somewhat relieved, Ning Chen continued:
"Yang Yan, even if we are not in the same laboratory now, it doesn't matter. We can still do experiments together if we have the opportunity. After all, we are both teachers in the Materials Laboratory of Shengzhou University, and I don't know how to do experiments across schools. If you do it often, it won't matter if you cross laboratories. My laboratory will always welcome you."
Ning Chen was not just saying polite words to Yang Yan, but he did have the intention to cooperate with Yang Yan.
Putting aside other factors, Ning Chen highly recognized Yang Yan's thinking ability and professional qualities.
If normal development continues, Yang Yan's ability will not even be inferior to Xu Zhou's in the future.
"Brother Chen, if you say that, I take it seriously! Come on, let me toast Brother Chen again!"
"Okay, Yang Yan, you've drunk enough today, so don't drink any more. We have to help Tianpeng do a horizontal project together, so we have to keep a clear mind at all times."
"Yes, yes, you have to keep a clear mind and don't drink more."
Finally, with everyone's help, Yang Yan staggered back to his residence.
…
After this gathering, Chen Tianpeng immediately wrote his own business plan as promised at the dinner table.
Chen Tianpeng was very capable when he got serious. Within a few days, Chen Tianpeng had written a detailed plan.
In the plan, Chen Tianpeng described his ideas in detail, even down to how he would purchase various licenses, how many employees to recruit, etc., all listed very clearly.
In terms of professional knowledge, although Chen Tianpeng is not as detailed as Ning Chen and others, Chen Tianpeng has a very good understanding of equipment market issues and can be said to be an expert in commercial technology.
After reading Chen Tianpeng's plan, Ning Chen quickly made his decision.
"It seems that Tianpeng is really serious about starting a business this time. It can be said that except for the scientific research issues that Chen Tianpeng has not yet solved, Chen Tianpeng has already thought about many of the remaining issues."
These scientific research issues are naturally not something that boss Chen Tianpeng needs to worry about. As long as Chen Tianpeng can grasp the general direction of the project's research and development, the rest of the problems can be completely left to the scientific researchers to solve.
Ning Chen even felt that in the field of business, Chen Tianpeng was even better at it than he was now.
Without too much hesitation, Ning Chen immediately agreed to invest in Chen Tianpeng's company and informed Xingchen Technology's financial department of the decision.
After receiving Ning Chen's reply, Chen Tianpeng also seemed very excited. After all, Ning Chen is now a real rich man, far beyond the level of Chen Tianpeng's father.
Due to being too busy at work, Ning Chen felt that he might not be able to be the person in charge of these horizontal topics, so he asked Yuan Shuai and Yang Yan to be mainly responsible for researching these topics, while he took the time to participate in the projects according to the situation.
Although the research on screens and lenses is important, among Ning Chen's many topics, the priority will still be lower. With the leadership of Yuan Shuai and Yang Yan, Ning Chen will feel more at ease.
Projects such as quantum computers and personal computer systems are some of the projects that Ning Chen is more concerned about.
When Xingchen Technology was building the quantum cloud network and mass-producing quantum computers before, Xingchen Technology did not publicize the news. However, as time went by, more and more people learned about the news.
Xia Guo's leading position in the field of quantum computing makes many Chinese people proud of it.
"Our current position in the world's quantum computing field is roughly equivalent to Millikin's position in the world's aircraft carrier industry. This will allow our various technologies to develop rapidly, and many scientific research projects can be studied faster."
"It is said that Guge Company has suspended their research on quantum computers because there is a large gap between them and Xingchen Technology in this field. I never thought that one day we would be able to lead Guge in the field of technology. company."
"Now some universities and scientific research institutions have opened up some of the computing power of quantum computers to the outside world, and we can also experience it. For many model-based calculations, the computing efficiency of quantum clouds is much higher than that of ordinary computers. and servers.”
In addition to their leadership in quantum computers, the popularity of the Star OS system also makes them feel very proud.
Compared with the Android system, the Xingchen OS system pays more attention to the user experience of Xia Guo users and is a mobile phone system completely centered on Chinese.
This allowed everyone to see Xia's confidence that it was truly at the top of science and technology, and its sense of national honor was greatly improved than before.
On this day, Lu Minghao reported the progress of various tasks to Ning Chen via phone.
Through Lu Minghao's report, Ning Chen learned that research projects related to the construction of a new generation of quantum computers and personal computer systems were proceeding in an orderly manner.
After saying this, Lu Minghao continued to add:
"By the way, Mr. Ning, you said you wanted to establish a foundation before, and now we have officially completed the relevant procedures. This foundation is named 'Star Foundation', and 500 million has been invested so far. "
Ning Chen was also very satisfied when he heard that the foundation's affairs had been dealt with.
A fund of 500 million seems to be a lot, but judging from the current size of Xingchen Technology, it is still very easy to come up with this money.
Because the revenue brought by the Xingchen OS system alone in a year has reached tens of billions of dollars, plus the revenue from other businesses such as quantum computers and quantum cloud networks, Xingchen Technology has become a world-class famous enterprise.
Ning Chen also had a rough plan in mind for the arrangement of these 500 million yuan.
"Manager Lu, I plan to use 100 million yuan every year to support the teachers and students of Shengzhou University. The remaining funds will be used to support other scientific research institutions and universities in our Xia Kingdom."
Such a distribution ratio is naturally due to Ning Chen's special feelings for his alma mater. Of course, Ning Chen will still be very strict when it comes to scientific research funds and scholarships, and will never allow any use of unfair means to defraud funds.
After explaining some details of fund allocation to Lu Minghao, Lu Minghao also said that he would handle the matter immediately.
After sorting out the details of scientific research funds, Ning Chen entrusted Lu Minghao to inform Shengzhou University of the establishment of the foundation in the name of the company.
