Sprinkle coins every day

The R&D investment in 2021 alone will reach an astonishing 400 billion yuan, accounting for 22.4% of the annual revenue.

note.

The income here refers to operating income, not profit, which is really scary.

In the past ten years, Huawei has invested more than 8000 billion yuan in research and development, which is enough to put any Internet company under the name of "technology company" to shame.

That's it.

Warwick is still a catcher in many fields.

This shows how expensive R&D is and how difficult it is to produce results.

Germination's current investment in R&D is really a drop in the bucket. In order to squeeze out more R&D expenses, Zhang Shuo chose to let go of the financing channels of Qingcheng Group.

In front of Tao Lao, Zhang Shuo even let out bold words.

"Next year, if the Sprout Group's research and development expenditure is less than 150 billion, it will be considered a complete failure."

"Then I'll wait and see." Elder Tao smiled.

The accompanying experts and scholars have also become more interested in the Germination Group, wanting to know how this company, which has only been established for one and a half years, can have such great ambitions in research and development.

It's really worth looking forward to!

Chapter 288 Zhang Shuo's life highlight moment!

Germination Building.

The first Fertile Soil Award Ceremony is being grandly held.

Although there is no TV broadcast, and there will be no publicity and reports to the outside world, but inside Germination, it is a big event at the end of the year, and the auditorium is decorated with extra grandeur.

The ceremony was presided over by Jiang Yue, the rotating president of Sprout Group.

"I heard that you just made a big statement this morning, saying that Mengya's R&D budget for next year will not be less than 150 billion?" Second uncle Tang Yi asked Zhang Shuo who was sitting next to him with a smile at the VIP seat.

"This is not a rhetoric, it will be included in Germination's official budget next year."

"Are you sure about the funding arrangement?"

Tang Yi is naturally happy to see Germination greatly increasing the research and development budget, but he is worried that the pace is too fast.

He knows about Germination.

Among the various subsidiaries, except Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, which has achieved profitability early, the other subsidiaries are still at a loss stage, relying on blood transfusions from game profits.

This also means.

Sprout wants to achieve 150 billion R & D expenditures, and the profit must be at least 200 billion.

It's too exaggerated.

"Only relying on Germination alone, it must be clenching the bullet..." Zhang Shuo did not shy away, "It would be great if Binhai City could provide some support in terms of credit."

Crying children have something to eat.

Zhang Shuo is not the brat he used to be, he can be thick-skinned when he should.

"You boy, are you going to join our army?" Tang Yi nodded to Zhang Shuo.

"No…"

Zhang Shuo also smiled and didn't explain too much.

I understand everything I understand.

Zhang Shuo dared to throw out the argument of 150 billion, of course he was sure to complete it. Even if there was no loan support, next year's Germination Group would have a new sharp weapon - wheat x1.

As long as wheat grain x1 is a big success, it will be a super cash cow again.

The profit of smartphones is not inferior to games at all, and it is also a proper profiteering industry.

otherwise.

There will be no freaks as rich as fruit.

Of course, the premise is that Maili x1 needs to master the core technology and enter the high-end mobile phone market. If it is an assembly factory like Xiaomi, relying on small profits but quick sales to make a profit, it will be very difficult.

Just to make money for crooked nuts.

Because it is a science awards ceremony, there are no fancy things, basically it is to announce the winners of the Fertile Soil Award and the Youth Award, and then go to the stage to accept the awards one by one.

There were no sensational acceptance speeches either.

Mainly, there will be an academic exchange after the awards, and the latter is the highlight.

When Zhang Shuo presented the Youth Award, he suddenly saw Gu Xiaoxi in the team. After handing over the award certificate, he deliberately gave Gu Xiaoxi a hug and said with a smile, "Congratulations!"

"brush!"

Gu Xiaoxi turned red in the face.

"???"

Seeing this scene, everyone present, whether they were experts, scholars or budding employees, were all aroused to gossip, wishing to know a thing or two.

Even Tang Yi asked Zhang Shuo in private: "What does that girl have to do with you just now?"

"good friend."

Zhang Shuo didn't change his face.

"You boy!"

This is the second time that Tang Yi feels helpless towards Zhang Shuo, "Is that girl still studying for an undergraduate degree? She even won the Youth Award, so it can be seen that she is indeed a good seedling, and she is also very beautiful, and she is quite suitable for you."

As an elder, Tang Yi will of course pay attention to Zhang Shuo's marriage.

Although Zhang Shuo is young, he is so eye-catching, especially on the Internet, he is a very popular "super Internet celebrity", and he will be exposed to various scandals every few days.

Lin Weiwei, Du Qingqing and others who had contact with Zhang Shuo were all rumored girlfriends.

Even Dai Yutong was included.

Compared with female celebrities, female executives, and female secretaries, from Tang Yi's point of view, he certainly hopes that Zhang Shuo's other half is someone like Gu Xiaoxi who concentrates on learning.

Just go up in style.

"Cough, Gu Xiaoxi and Tang Yu are still roommates." Zhang Shuo reminded in a low voice.

"is it?"

Tang Yi was even more surprised, "Xiaoyu has such a motivated roommate, why is she still passing her studies? I heard that she almost failed her class last semester?"

"I don't know that."

Quietly planted a thunderbolt for that ghost girl Tang Yu, and Zhang Shuo felt secretly refreshed.

"So you already know each other?"

Tang Yi was not so easy to fool. He glanced at Zhang Shuo and said lightly, "You need to act sooner."

"Uh……"

Zhang Shuo was embarrassed for a moment, why did he feel like being urged to marry by his elders?He hugged Gu Xiaoxi in public just now, apart from being teasing, there was actually another meaning behind it.

Although it is said that the Young Scientists Award is aimed at young scientists, most of the winners are 34-year-old Ph. Ds or even associate professors who have made some achievements.

Gu Xiaoxi, an undergraduate student who can win the award, and she is Li Mingzhe's disciple and Tao Lao's disciple, will inevitably attract some unnecessary criticism.

People are jealous!

Tao Lao is upright and upright, so naturally he doesn't care about these gossips, otherwise he wouldn't try his best to reject the opinions of all the people, so he personally named Gu Xiaoxi.

But other people don't think so. On stage just now, Gu Xiaoxi was obviously left out.

Of course Zhang Shuo had to give an attitude.

Although he may not be able to rescue Gu Xiaoxi by doing so, it may even further deepen the rumor that Gu Xiaoxi is a "relationship household"—see, even the King of Meng has a close relationship with Gu Xiaoxi.

There is indeed something tricky in it.

But Zhang Shuo didn't care anymore, he just didn't want Gu Xiaoxi to be bullied, and told everyone present that Gu Xiaoxi was the one he was protecting, no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to restrain himself.

Otherwise, Zhang Shuo also has a temper.

On the other side, Li Mingzhe gave Zhang Shuo a hard look. This guy actually molested his favorite disciple in public. The key point he remembered was that Zhang Shuo clearly said that he and Xiaoxi were just friends, right?

What is this?

Next time I have time, I have to ask Zhang Shuo for clarification. Li Mingzhe doesn't want his disciples to be bullied.

Even Zhang Shuo, the big devil.

.........

The following academic exchange was very exciting, even Zhang Shuo listened with gusto.

Tan Yunsong, Chief Scientist of Wotu Research Institute, made his finale appearance and introduced in detail the three-tier R&D structure of Sprout Group's "Wotu Research Institute + Data Center + Technology Center" and its laboratories all over the country.

It also focused on Menya's overseas R&D layout.

For example, the Raven Lab located in Silicon Valley, and the innovative labs established by Maili Technology in Japan, Korea, Europe and other places, as well as the related overseas layout of Sunshine Holdings.

This paragraph was also added by Zhang Shuorang, just to stimulate domestic experts and scholars.

Look!

Although Germination says it will invest heavily in research and development, it does not mean that it will completely rely on domestic scientists, and overseas is also within the scope of Germination's goals.

For example, Eastern European countries have many excellent mathematicians.

Just about to say—

"Those who want to join Germination, don't hesitate, act quickly!"

Although it is said that when Zhang Shuo first established the Fertile Soil Award in the name of the Spring Sprout Fund, he had made it clear that Germination had no commercial appeal for the Fertile Soil Award, but it does not mean that there is no interest appeal at all.

The moon is the first to get close to the water.

Those who guard so many outstanding scientists and don't know how to win them over are the real idiots.

This is also the intention of my second uncle Tang Yi attending this awards ceremony.

From the perspective of Binhai City, of course, I also hope that these scientists can come to work in Binhai City, contribute to the construction of an innovative city in Binhai City, and help each other.

"Sprout's layout in technology research and development is very admirable." Tang Yi said with emotion.

It was also the first time that he had a serious glimpse of Germination's ambitions in the field of technology research and development. He did not expect that Germination had gone so far in private.

The layout is high and far-reaching, but it is low-key and restrained externally.

It's really hard for Tang Yi to imagine that such a style, such a big hand, was actually created by Zhang Shuo.

Really grown up.

Some people seem to be born to do great things, and they have already broken through the age limit.

Such as Zhang Shuo.

"Second Uncle, you are too proud. The budding ambition is very big, but now it is just the first step of a journey of a thousand miles. It is still in the warm-up period, and it is not even the original accumulation period." Zhang Shuo said very sober.

Technology research and development is not a game, it requires the courage and perseverance to learn from the West.

It is necessary to continuously invest in it, but also to endure loneliness, and to overcome countless difficulties and obstacles in the middle of the journey, and to overcome ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties before it is possible to say the truth.

The key also needs the accumulation and precipitation of time.

It's not that one day you find out that some key technology is stuck, you throw a lot of coins, tens of billions, hundreds of billions, and you will see results soon.

Nothing like that.

In terms of technology research and development, capital investment is indeed very important, but it is by no means the first.

"Well, it's good to have this clear understanding, I believe you can succeed."

For Germination, for Zhang Shuo, Tang Yi was really looking forward to it, and then thought of something, "Your anxiety in the chip field before also came from this, right?"

"more or less!"

Zhang Shuo did not deny it, "I am a very insecure person. I can't get rid of my dependence on chips in the end with my budding technology research and development vision. I dare not give half of my life to the control of outsiders."

"That's the truth."

Tang Yi also deeply agreed, and then revealed: "Don't be too anxious, what I told you before, although the outside world has not reported it, but the matter has been advancing underneath. There should be a clear understanding by the beginning of next year at the latest. The news came out."
