Luo Jia didn't expect that she would come to the capital again so soon.

The weather was already slightly cool in mid-October. When he woke up in the early morning, Luo Jia habitually reached out to get the hooded sweatshirt still on the bedside table, but then he thought about it and remembered that today was a special day and he had to wear it formally.

So he shrugged, went into the bathroom to wash, then put on a brand new gray suit and stood in front of the huge dressing mirror.

Luo Jia is not a person who cares about her appearance. She bought her suit temporarily in a nearby shopping mall, and her tie is only more than 6,000 yuan. She is just a domestic Announcement Bird Card.

However, when Luo Jia wore this outfit, the effect was really amazing. Even the eldest sister who sold suits praised Luo Jia for her good figure and her spirit.

Luo Jia in the mirror is stronger than in the past, and her upper body presents a perfect inverted triangle. Since becoming the heir of extra-star civilization, the magical sound in her mind has not only changed his knowledge structure, but also changed his physical fitness.

Although he only slept for a short time every day, he still had plenty of experience. He occasionally went to the gym to run, and after seven or eight kilometers, he did not feel tired at all, but he felt indescribable to his body.

Luo Jia came to the hotel buffet restaurant, and Hong Tao and the others had arrived in advance. After breakfast together, they set off for the Great Wall Hotel. The signing ceremony with the power department will be held there.

"I heard that many big guys will come today." Hong Tao said excitedly, "The highlight is the speech after the signing ceremony. I guess when Mr. Luo's speech is over, the video will appear on the desks of many departments. If it is not done well, it will really play a certain role in promoting our country's future R&D investment."

Luo Jia smiled. This was the main reason why he prepared carefully today. The power department proposed that after signing, Luo Jia would come to the stage to give a lecture.

The last time he gave a speech at the International Hotel, it was said that it caused a great response from the senior management. As a top scientific research company with no popularity in China, Luo Jia's opinions are of great reference value to the senior management.

In fact, there are many people who want Luo Jia to give a speech.

When Luo Jia first appeared in Fudan, she promised the deans to give a speech in the future, and then Luo Jia began her arduous entrepreneurial journey.

This delay lasted for more than a year. Every time he saw Dean Sha Zhan, when he mentioned this, Luo Jia always felt embarrassed.

However, today's speech has special significance, and Luo Jia agreed immediately and positioned the theme of the speech to invest in R&D, a sensitive and crucial topic.

Not long after, they arrived at the Great Wall Hotel. Professor Ouyang’s student Sun Jingtao and two employees from the power department were waiting outside early. After receiving Luo Jia, they led him to the signing venue.

There are not many people, mainly some reporters invited by the power department. Judging from the documents hung by the reporters, most of them come from official media.

The process of the signing ceremony is even simpler.

Professor Ouyang and Chief Engineer Ning took Luo Jia to meet some senior executives of power companies. Then Luo Jia and senior executives of power grids came forward and signed their own names on the contracts that had been prepared by the business department and the legal department.

Luo Jia called this process a pose, because the photographer reminded him how to sit, how to hold the pen, and how to shake hands.

When it comes to the signing process, just use a big stroke and just use a name on the document.

The contract is as many as 270 pages, a thick stack.

Xingchen Technology and Power Grid have a strong legal team. The details of patent authorization, ownership of rights, obligations, references to specific provisions of domestic and international law, etc. in the contract must be clearly written on the contract one by one.

When the signing ceremony ended, warm applause rang out around.

The power department has obtained the exclusive authorization of the engineering ship, and Xingchen Technology has also become the exclusive supplier of domestic supercapacitor energy storage centers. Both parties are considered to be looking for each need.

The contract given by the power department is quite generous, with a profit margin of about 20%. It belongs to all Xingchen Technology projects with relatively low profits, which is relatively close to battery projects, but is lower than that of the Optics Department, Chemistry Department, and Display Department. The profit margins of these business departments can reach an astonishing 40%.

The key is that the amount of batteries and capacitors is too large, far exceeding that of the cameras produced by Star Technology.

People cannot always think about money. You should know that the contract with Xingchen Technology is the national team. It is better to cut less wool from the national team.

The vision must be long-term. After all, after the power grid obtains supercapacitors, Luo Jia's electric cars and motorcycles can be launched in large quantities, which has a close interest relationship.

Besides, anyone who has worked in the industry knows that the profit margin of 20% is already very high.

If Comrade Luo Ning had a profit margin of 20%, he would not have fallen into bankruptcy if he had made plastic beads.

Of course, Comrade Luo Ning's bankruptcy was mainly due to conflicts with the country's general direction.

Making plastic beads is a polluting enterprise. Not only now, but even in the further future, polluting enterprises will not have a future. This is a consensus across the country. After all, everyone is fed up with the damn haze.

In short, signing the contract is just a formality, asking reporters to take a few photos for future publicity. The real highlight of today is that Luo Jia wants to give a speech.

Why is speech important?

Because Professor Ouyang had already told Luo Jia in advance that some big shots would come and listen to them in person. Professor Ouyang did not say which big shots were. Anyway, being able to leave a good impression in front of these big shots will be very helpful to the future development of Xingchen Technology.

Professor Ouyang personally took Luo Jia to the venue, which was in a larger conference hall upstairs.

When entering the conference hall, Luo Jia saw some compartments on the back row and on both sides, which looked a bit like the layout of a small concert hall.

The back row of the compartment and conference hall was already full of people. Luo Jia glanced casually and found that he didn't know any of them.

But judging from the appearance of these people, coupled with the security personnel wearing black suits and wireless headphones around the venue, they should be some big shots.

The big guys are very low-key. Given the sinister environment of the trade war, the officials are now trying to minimize contact with private enterprises.

Huawei is a ready-made example. Overseas forces suspect that Huawei has a unclear relationship with the official, so Mr. Ren is now very passive. In the name of national security, Huawei's products are banned and driven out of the market.

"You should talk boldly today," Professor Ouyang said to Luo Jia, "But although there is no time limit, I still advise you to speak a little faster. After all, the time for the big guys here is very tight."

Luo Jia nodded, indicating that he understood.

In such occasions, there were no hosts, and no reporters. Luo Jia walked onto the stage alone and knocked on the microphone, which made two bangs.

I glanced at the audience and saw that everyone was full of people. Since there were many senior management and everyone was reserved, no one applauded, just sat quietly.

Luo Jia cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Since our Xingchen Technology is a company that focuses on R&D, I will tell you about R&D today."

"All the industry leaders are here. I am young and have little knowledge. If I don't talk well, please take care of it."

The people in the audience nodded. Luo Jia's language style has always been like this. As long as he does not talk about professional issues, he is very relaxed and has no literary words, which means he is a plain language.

Luo Jia paused and said, "When I was a child, I was quite simple. I never thought about being an entrepreneur, but I wanted to be a scientist."

"So I have read a lot of biographies of scientists. Many years have passed, and I still remember that the stories of those scientists seem to be the ones who have made shocking research. At most, there are a few assistants around me. Anyway, they all look like small teams."

"But today, I finally realized that the model of small teams and small investments in R&D in the past is completely ineffective."

"Take our Star Technology as an example, our mobile phone operating system is developed by more than 1,000 elites in the software department after more than half a year."

"The battery and electronic control project, the hardware department invested more than 2,000 people, and it has been done for more than half a year."

"To be honest, this is our Star Technology. If we change to other companies, the R&D time will be at least several times."

"Not to mention spending money. So far, Star Research Institute has spent more than 60 billion yuan on infrastructure construction and experimental equipment investments. And with the expansion of R&D team and the increase of R&D projects, we have to spend more money on R&D."

"It can be seen that developing such things is no longer something that one or two people can do with their cleverness requires large investment and large output."

"If there is a small company with more than a dozen people, I will find the bosses and tell you that they have developed the power grid general control processor, which can achieve higher efficiency grid management."

"This kind of person is definitely a liar, because the processor, not to mention design experience and design tools, just looking for SMIC chips will cost about one billion. After completing the full set of chips, it will be at least a few billion yuan. If it is not a super large enterprise, it cannot make chips at all."

"At this point, I'm going to use our old rival, Neon, as an example."

"In 2017, something happened that I had no way of understanding. Toshiba Storage was sold to a consortium led by Bain Capital on Wall Street for $18 billion."

"What is the concept of Toshiba's storage division? It is Neon's last fortress in the field of memory chips. If sold, no Neon will be able to build memory chips."

"It's like our country sold SMIC. How could it be possible! If it were placed here, something similar would never happen."

A sigh came from the audience. Although it was a competitor, the shock that Neon sold Toshiba Storage brought to the domestic technology community was too great. Even our country's scientists felt it was a pity for Neon.

The Chinese technology community unanimously believes that Neon people are absolutely crazy. my country can’t buy memory chips, so they can’t even buy them. How can they even sell them?

So, Foxconn led the way and China also set up a consortium to directly offer twice the price to compete with Bain Capital.

The result is of course obvious. Neon people would rather sell Toshiba Storage to Wall Street than to China.

To this day, this incident still lingers in the hearts of all scientific and technological workers.

With naked discrimination and technological blockade, high-tech and high-tech only has the path of independent research and development, and you can't buy it.
