Chapter 292 Huaxin
Qi Tongwei did not ask how Pei Yihong would deal with Southern Media. He believed that his father-in-law and others would be able to find a solution that would satisfy both parties.
After all, personal energy is limited, so I should just do a good job of rectifying the entertainment industry.
Under his vigorous efforts, the entertainment industry has become noticeably more stable in recent times, with fewer explosive news stories.
Just at this time, Gao Xiaoqin brought an exciting piece of good news - after nearly ten years of unremitting efforts, their independently developed chip finally achieved a breakthrough result!
Qi Tongwei couldn't believe his ears and asked anxiously, "Is everything you said true?"
Gao Xiaoqin said affirmatively: "It's true. I'll give the phone to Engineer Zhang and ask him to report to you."
As he said that, he quickly handed the phone to Zhang Zhiyao, who was in charge of research and development, and asked him to talk directly to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei said politely and expectantly: "Mr. Zhang, please give us a detailed introduction of the specific situation."
Zhang Zhiyao could hardly suppress his excitement, and replied with a trembling voice: "Minister Qi, our independently developed chips are very close to the world's leading level, and the lithography machine technology has also achieved a major breakthrough.
If we are given another five years or so, we will definitely be able to catch up with or even surpass the world's advanced level in both lithography machines and chips!"
Hearing this, Qi Tongwei almost jumped up with excitement. He said excitedly: "That's great, Mr. Zhang! On behalf of the country, I thank you for your efforts over the years!"
Zhang Zhiyao said gratefully: "It is we who should be thanking you. If it were not for your selfless investment, we would not have achieved what we have today."
The two chatted for a while, and Qi Tongwei solemnly promised him that within 10 years, he would not use a penny of the chip company's profits. All profits would be used for technological research and development to promote the company's development.
"Minister Qi, I would like to thank you on behalf of the scientific researchers." Zhang Zhiyao said excitedly.
"You're welcome. Please give the phone to Mr. Gao." Qi Tongwei changed the subject.
Qi Tongwei then instructed Gao Xiaoqin to report the situation to the Ministry of Industry in order to prepare for acceptance by relevant units and departments.
Qi Tongwei was excited the whole day. After 10 years and nearly 40 billion US dollars, he finally saw the results. He believed that as long as he continued to invest, one day Huaxin would lead the world and become the best product of its kind.
The news spread quickly. Less than an hour after I hung up the phone, Pei Yihong called to inquire.
When Pei Yihong got the exact news from Qi Tongwei, he was so excited that he almost trembled. As the vice president in charge of industry and technology, he knew too well the importance of chips.
If what Qi Tongwei said is true, China's competitiveness will be greatly enhanced, and there will be no need to worry about bottlenecks in many fields.
In the evening, Pei Yihong’s study.
"Tongwei, the deputy chief will personally visit Huaxin tomorrow, and relevant experts will verify your chips on site. Are you sure..."
Qi Tongwei interrupted his father-in-law and said, "Dad, don't worry. Engineer Zhang is a top expert I hired from China. We have invested more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in research and development over the past 40 years. I will definitely not let you down."
"That's good, but you have to be prepared."
Qi Tongwei asked curiously: "What preparations?"
Pei Yihong thought for a moment and said, "Once the acceptance is passed tomorrow, Huaxin will be of extraordinary significance. The country will not leave it alone. I estimate that the country will invest in the company and send people to supervise it."
"Send someone to supervise, Dad. Once bureaucrats intervene in this company, I'm afraid..." Qi Tongwei said with a frown.
Pei Yihong smiled and said, "Don't worry, this situation will not happen. According to my estimation, the state will pay a part of the money to occupy about 20% of the shares.
Most of the supervisors are technical personnel. Even if there are one or two, they represent the party and are for national security. They will not interfere with the company's operations."
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei felt relieved: "I hope so. If it can be done this way, it would be the best. I am just afraid that someone will come and pretend to know something."
Pei Yihong patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Don't worry, the country will not fight for control of the company, but in the future, product exports will require the country's consent.
Tongwei, you need to take a long-term view.
With the support and supervision of the state, the company can develop and grow better. And this is also a rare opportunity for Huaxin to achieve greater breakthroughs with the help of the state. "
Qi Tongwei nodded and said thoughtfully: "I know this. It's not that I'm reluctant to spend the money, but I'm worried that it will affect the company's future development. If it delays the country's progress, it will be more trouble than gain."
"Dad, Tongwei, come and have dinner, didn't we agree on this? Don't talk about work when you get home. You two are doing this knowingly!" Pei Qianqian shouted outside the study.
"Let's go. If you keep dawdling, she'll scold you again." Pei Yihong stood up and smiled helplessly.
……
The next morning, the group took a special plane to Chang'an, Qin Province.
This time the team was led by the deputy leader, and Pei Yihong and Qi Tongwei also accompanied them.
Qi Tongwei was invited to join the trip this time, and it was obvious that the higher-ups knew that he had close ties with the company.
It turned out that after Gao Xiaoqin reported the situation to the Industrial Technology Department, the department head quickly reported to Pei Yihong.
After Pei Yihong learned the exact reliability of the matter from Qi Tongwei, he immediately made a detailed report to his superiors.
After receiving the news, the cabinet ministers and others immediately reported the matter to the head of state. In less than half an hour, detailed information about Huaxin, including the R&D personnel there, appeared on the head of state’s desk.
"Tongwei, this is our third conversation, and you surprise me bigger and bigger each time." The deputy master said with emotion.
Qi Tongwei said modestly: "You are too kind. I still have a lot to learn. Besides, these are all the credits of scientists. I just paid a little money."
The deputy master shook his head and said, "Don't be so modest. You can invest the US dollars you earn from the U.S. financial market into scientific research instead of using it for personal enjoyment. This is very rare in itself."
He had read Qi Tongwei's information before, but it was just a rough outline. Last night he looked at Qi Tongwei's resume in detail. From birth to now, he has always performed very well.
What satisfied him most was Qi Tongwei's work style and party principles.
During the difficult period of the 90s, Qi Tongwei earned hundreds of millions of US dollars from royalties, even though he was just an ordinary cadre at that time.
He did not follow others and go into business, nor was he defeated by the U.S.'s sugar-coated bullets. Instead, he took advantage of the financial crisis to make more than a billion U.S. dollars and brought the money back to China.
After returning to China, he did not spend lavishly or live extravagantly. Instead, he invested the money. After making money, he always kept a low profile and used most of the profits for technological research and development and charity.
In addition, he performed very well in his job, and the people of Green Vine still miss him today.
Pei Yihong took over the conversation and said, "This kid is sometimes stubborn and easily offends people at work. In Luteng alone, he sent a vice-ministerial official, several department-level officials, and more than 200 cadres of other levels."
Pei Yihong was just trying to please the man. He knew that the man in front of him was also a person who would not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
"Our leading cadres must have the spirit of Tong Wei and resolutely suppress corrupt elements." The deputy leader said affirmatively, and then several people started talking about chips.
But everyone can see that the deputy master is very satisfied with Qi Tongwei.
