Chapter 1218 The essence of capital

,

Zhao Yaoyao’s philosophy is that I will become your shareholder first, and some are major shareholders, so I have the right to propose visiting the company, listening to financial status reports, and partly participating in business management.

The representatives or researchers she sent to various companies were all native British people. After a long time of staying, everyone became friends. Occasionally, I accidentally said that I had an academic project to cooperate with, or sent a few graduate students to intern in the company, or selected some technical backbones to do projects.

This is very common in the European and American scientific research and business circles, and they are all insiders and will not attract high-level attention.

Zhao Yaoyao is one of the few people in the Chinese circle who has fully understood the essence of capital.

The reason for saying this is that there are two labels on Chinese people: one is human nature and the other is sophistication. These are the two most incompatible traits that European and American people, especially upper class people, and Zhao Yaoyao did not.

Looking back, Zhao Yaoyao's coldness reflects is a British gentleman-like sense of distance, but this personality can thoroughly understand the true meaning of the capital market.

The essence of the capitalist society is the rules of the game where money is supreme. From the law protecting private property, to the election of parliamentarians, parliament, and prime ministers, it is a game of money.

In the face of this set of rules, Easterners with deep human feelings often encounter walls, such as "old friends of the Chinese people", "China-* friendship has a long history", etc., which are not as affordable as orders in the eyes of Western politicians.

The Nott Group, which monopolizes one-third of the global microcrystalline glass and ultra-low expansion coefficient glass market, has successfully entered the board of directors. The first thing is to force the deputy general manager, who is the most fierce anti-China in the management team to resign. The reason is very simple, "That guy hates it."

For the British, this reason is enough.

Through continuous scholarly visits, projects, academic exchanges and other activities, Zhao Yaoyao opened a small window for the country, making the scientific research that was blocked by Americans energized and expanded new fields.

This is just one aspect.

Zhao Yaoyao, who has obtained the right to speak, can ask companies to sell their products to relatively good-willed third countries, such as Israel, Switzerland, Finland and other Americans, and transport them to middle areas such as Southeast Asia, and eventually flow into China in secret.

In addition, set up branches or branches to recruit and train Chinese technicians; split patented technology and authorize or transfer it, etc. Zhao Yaoyao is undertaking a massive and grand project!

The second direction is the military laboratory that Rui Yun secretly supports in Hong Kong.

Although Fang Sheng, Zhao Yaoyao, Rui Yun and even Bai Sheng did not understand it, it did not affect their determination and belief in investment. In particular, Fang Sheng learned that Fu Xiaoluo, the son of Chief Fu, resigned and started the laboratory, and it was even more clear that such investment methods would be the general trend, which was in essence consistent with the military-industry outsourcing adopted by Americans.

Judging from the current situation, Bai Yan brought back from Europe is likely to be - at least in terms of efficiency, better than the mainstream domestic research ideas. The Hong Kong Laboratory has made breakthrough progress in 7 links, while the domestic research team that started three years ago is still struggling. During the research process, Fan Shi truly forgot to eat and sleep. In the extreme, he did not shave for two months, and he was working hard to prove himself with this project.

The third direction is no less than Zhao Yaoyao's precision instrument field, that is, Zhuo Weihong first smelled it, Mu Yuqiu presided over the exploration, and Fang Sheng determined it as the chip field of development strategy!

Like the first two directions, chip technology is also a severely affected area that my country has been lagging behind for a long time and has been severely blocked by Americans. Even in European and American countries that claim to be open to the market, the chip industry is a key monitoring and strong monopoly field. The chip industry chain that is rampant in the world is dominated by a handful of oligarchs, application manufacturers, integrators, and midstream and downstream companies can only swallow their anger and be slaughtered.

Fang Sheng knew that the country attached great importance to this work. Colleges and universities, scientific research bases, and key state enterprises were all planning, which was a war without gunpowder. Despite this, Fang Sheng still wanted to refer to the military R&D method and use private capital to intervene in the "core-grabbing war" to stimulate more vitality for competition in this field.

He always feels that compared with state-owned enterprises and state-owned enterprises, private enterprises are more efficient and can in turn promote central enterprises and state-owned enterprises to continuously optimize and improve their own mechanisms.

Currently, Deya's latest generation of zinc-based double-sided electric panels has reached 90% of the global market share. The greater the weight in the past, the greater the pressure on Zhuo Weihong and others. Beware of European and American chip manufacturers' suppression of supply and price increase to Deya. It is better to sacrifice capital flow and increase capital costs to increase chip inventory. Sometimes the inventory period even reaches nine months!

Now with the official operation of the electric board chip R&D team, although the road ahead is still long, even Fang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt that at least there was hope.

However, as the three directions continue to advance, the funding problems that have never been worrying about before are becoming increasingly prominent. In desperation, Fang Sheng even secretly transferred shares of the two schools in Yinxia, ​​not to mention high-quality assets such as Yinpingshan Scenic Area shares and seedling manors. Fang Sheng tried his best, and Zhao Yaoyao also felt a headache, and was preparing to sell infrastructure investment to increase capital liquidity.

Just as Fang Sheng racked his brains to find out the source of wealth, several familiar and unexpected guests came to the office on Monday morning:

Cai Yujia and his mentor Professor Yin.

Fang Sheng was appointed as a county in Shunba. The commission was moved by Professor Yin for many years of persistence in engaging in the Institute of Genetic Breeding in Basic Disciplines. He decided to support Xiaonan Julong Scientific Research Development Foundation. Rui Yun, who came forward to discuss, felt that Professor Yin and others were doing research based entirely on their fanaticism and intuition about science, and they were not sure about the prospects in essence, so they reminded Fang Sheng to pay attention to risks.

Fang Sheng said that what he considered not only to make more profits by capital operation, but to plan for long-term things that benefit the country and society and benefit future generations. Supporting basic scientific research is one aspect. Once successful, it will have a profound impact. It is considered a long-term venture capital project.

According to the cooperation agreement signed at that time, the foundation sponsored 3 million yuan per year for 30 million yuan in exchange for 51% of the project shares. Of course, from Fang Sheng to Rui Yun, there was no expectation of any return. As long as the results were researched, the money would not be wasted.

From Shunba to Runze Fangsheng, four working locations have been changed, with a total investment of 21 million yuan in seven years. In theory, if the research on genetic breeding smoothly has at least the general prototype, otherwise the direction will be fundamentally failed and all efforts will be wasted.

If I want to increase my investment, I am afraid I can do nothing. Fang Sheng thought to himself.

"Last week, the instructor contacted the foundation's head Ms. Rui, to report on the progress of the genetic breeding research project," Cai Yujia said. "Ms. Rui said that she is in charge of various construction projects of the Deepwater Port in Hong Kong and has no time to return to the mainland for the time being. Considering the specific links between Fang Shujing and understand the cooperation between the two parties, it is recommended that the instructor report to you before making plans."

Having said that, Cai Yujia actually knew that - Professor Yin probably guessed that Fang Sheng was the real funder of the foundation.

But the scene must be made clear, otherwise it will cause trouble to both parties.

Fang Sheng smiled and said, "I am happy to accept Ms. Rui's commission, and it just takes advantage of the rare opportunity to enrich my poor agricultural knowledge... Dr. Cai must fulfill his interpretation obligations to prevent me from being confused about the difficult and complex noun concepts."

Cai Yujia laughed and said, "The tutor is not here today, but about...well, you said to me."

Professor Yin cleared his throat and said carefully: "For the genetic breeding research project, we must thank Fang Shuji for his enthusiastic help. He introduced the Julong Research Development Foundation support at the most difficult time in the research, so that the project can continue. Today, on behalf of the research team, I would like to express my most respectful gratitude to you!"

As he said that, he stood up and bowed respectfully to Fang Sheng. Fang Sheng repeatedly said, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it." He went around to the opposite side to shake hands with Professor Yin and helped him sit down.

"Long time before accepting the sponsorship of the foundation, the genetic breeding research project was in progress. If there is surplus funds, if there is help, you can do more. Yujia also helped a lot in this regard. Without funds, you should do less when you set up a scientific research project. In short, you will always insist on it. With the sponsorship of the fund for 12 or 3 years, how many 12 or 3 years have you lived in life," Professor Yin sighed. "The project has made some breakthroughs before last year. In the past year, the research team has published three papers in internationally renowned academic journals. The agricultural community, especially the genetic breeding circle, caused a lot of sensation. In the first half of this year, I was invited to give a special speech at Oxford University..."

"Congratulations to Professor Yin! I don't pay enough attention to this aspect, and I didn't hear a trace of wind." Fang Sheng blamed himself.

Cai Yujia felt even more guilty: "To be honest, even me..."

Professor Yin smiled generously and said, "You are all parents who work hard for the people. You don't know how many documents you have to approve and make decisions all day long. How can you have time to pay attention to agronomy, which is not a hot topic. The paper was published and the special speech was also made. Last month, the chief negotiator of the American Keshan Agricultural Biotechnology Group came to Kyoto to find me and proposed cooperative research directly. The conditions given were so generous that it was unbelievable!"

"What kind of superior method?" Fang Sheng asked with great interest.

"Joshan Group provides R&D funds at one time - 60 million - US dollars!" Professor Yin was obviously knocked out by the pie smashed from the sky, and was excited when he mentioned this number.

"So high?" Fang Sheng was also surprised, "Where are the conditions?"

"There are only two conditions. One is that the research team went to the R&D center of Jiashan Group in New York to engage in research in the name of academic exchanges, and the procedures were handled by Jiashan Group; the other is that it requires 51% of the project shares..."

"oh--"

Fang Sheng understood. The conditions given by the Jiashan Group were so attractive. It not only packaged the research team and invited it to work in New York, but also invested huge amounts of money to relieve the worries of research.
