Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Just as Xia Yu sat down in the conference room for less than ten minutes, the heads of various laboratories came one after another.

The heads of thirty-four laboratories are all men.

Among them are Chinese, islanders, Americans, and British.

Anyway, Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory is adhering to the concept that talents from all over the world are available, and poaching people around the world.

And Lu Chao, in addition to being in charge of the entire Tiangong Science and Technology Laboratory, is also in charge of the department's largest Tiangong Electronics Laboratory.

Tiangong Electronics Laboratory is also the laboratory from which it was founded.

"Chairman, everyone is here."

"Okay, let's have a meeting directly."

Xia Yu cleared his throat, glanced around, and said loudly, "I'm here today for two purposes, one is to solve problems for everyone, and the other is to use the existing patent resources."

All the people in charge who came to the meeting in a daze, all smiled.

"Let's start with the Optoelectronics Lab, in counter-clockwise order."

Xia Yu looked at the person in charge closest to him, and in front of him was the sign "Optoelectronics Lab - Duke Byron".

As soon as Xia Yu's voice fell, the white old man Duke Byron nodded to Xia Yu, and then started to report.

"The Optoelectronics Laboratory currently has 64 researchers, whose main research areas include optical information, optoelectronic components and equipment, optoelectronic materials, optical input, optical storage, optical fiber communications, lasers and other optoelectronic applications."

"Since its establishment, the Optoelectronics Laboratory has developed a total of 112 patents, and 47 patents were developed last year."

"In terms of R\u0026D investment and output, last year's R\u0026D investment was 212 million Hong Kong dollars, 28 patents have been transformed, the patent transformation income was 48 million Hong Kong dollars, and the loss was 164 million Hong Kong dollars."

"The current dilemma of the optoelectronic laboratory is that there are insufficient R\u0026D talents, and the transformation of patents is relatively weak..."

Duke Byron finished the introduction in more than two minutes, and Xia Yu also used this brief time to record some key information.

After finishing the record, he looked to the next one.

Li Yingwei, the head of the communication laboratory, is a scientist dug from the mainland.

Although he has been in Xiangjiang for several years, his simple style can still be seen from his clothes, which makes Xia Yu admire him very much.

"Chairman, there are 71 scientific researchers in the communication laboratory. The main research and development fields include communication principles, signal processing, information exchange, wireless communication, digital microwave, and satellite communication."

"Last year, 53 patented technologies were developed, and our laboratory has 131 patented technologies."

"Last year, the investment in research and development was 191 million Hong Kong dollars, and the technology transformation was insufficient. At present, only 24 patents have been initially transformed. The patent transformation income was 34 million Hong Kong dollars, and the loss last year was 157 million Hong Kong dollars."

Xia Yu nodded secretly and looked at the next one, it was Dr. Lu Chao.

"Chairman, there are 122 scientific researchers in the electronic laboratory, 82 technical patents were applied for research and development last year, and there are 217 total technical patents.

Among them, 147 technologies have been put into use, generating a total of HK$182 million in revenue last year. "

"However, last year's R\u0026D investment reached 247 million Hong Kong dollars, and it still lost 65 million Hong Kong dollars."

Tiangong Electronics Laboratory, as the strongest laboratory, still suffers serious losses.

Then there is the power laboratory with the second largest number of people, which has made great contributions to Tiangong Automobile Group, Tiangong Machinery Group and Tiangong Electric Appliance Manufacturing Group. The person in charge is Kitamura Daigo.

According to his report, there are currently 107 scientific researchers in the power laboratory. Last year, 61 patents were developed. The laboratory also has a total of 139 patents, and 85 technologies that have produced value.

In terms of research and development investment, last year it reached 222 million Hong Kong dollars, and the technical income was 161 million Hong Kong dollars, still a loss of 61 million Hong Kong dollars.

After that, there are Walkman Laboratory, Acoustics Laboratory, Optical Laboratory, Electromagnetic Engineering Laboratory, New Materials Laboratory, Computer Laboratory, Semiconductor Laboratory, Mechanical Transmission Laboratory, Solar Energy Laboratory and so on.

Most laboratories have only a few dozen people, and a few even have only a dozen people.

Most of these laboratories have invested a lot in research and development, and have also developed a lot of patented technologies during the research and development process, but the number of successful transformations is 0.

In this regard, Xia Yu's mentality was very peaceful.

Although he does not understand technology in all fields, he understands the most basic R\u0026D procedures and R\u0026D logic.

Patents are also divided into several categories such as invention type, utility type and design type.

The heads of the various laboratories who are sitting here introduced the number of patents in their respective laboratories, including these types. Some patents are easy to convert, and some are difficult to convert, and even temporarily do not see any conversion value. of.

Nor does it mean that various laboratories deliberately develop such untranslatable or even low-value patents.

After all, scientific research itself is constantly trying and exploring. Many times a technology is discovered by accident, but the technology that you want to develop has not yet been developed.

After more than an hour, the heads of the thirty-four laboratories finally completed their reports.

Considering that it was noon, Xia Yu simply announced a temporary adjournment and went to the dining hall with everyone.

At one o'clock at noon, everyone returned to the conference room again.

"I have already understood the situation of each laboratory. Regarding the transformation of technology patents, you should not be under pressure. This is not your responsibility."

"The reason why the electronic laboratory, power laboratory, walkman laboratory and other laboratories have converted many technical patents is because there are corresponding companies under the group to commercialize."

"The even bigger reason is that these technologies are entrusted by these companies, and they are purposefully developed and developed, and they can be put into commercialization immediately after they are developed."

"And more laboratories are still in the stage of boundless scientific research, which lacks pertinence, because there is no corresponding company under the group."

"Obviously, the causality is reversed."

Speaking of this, Xia Yu noticed that many of the laboratory leaders who were sitting nodded, obviously speaking to their hearts.

"But I don't want to blame everyone. Any technology is valuable. If it is not used, it will only be the time."

"But scientific research requires huge financial support. Last year, 3.758 billion Hong Kong dollars was invested in research and development. Maybe it will reach 10 billion Hong Kong dollars or even 10 billion US dollars in the future!"

"At that time, it was very unrealistic to simply rely on the investment of the current Tiangong Group."

"So from now on, we must change, take the road of integrating production and research, develop technologies that are easier to generate value, and then let the technology generate huge value, feed back the laboratory, and form a virtuous circle."

"Clap clap clap..."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause in the conference room.

After more than ten seconds, Xia Yu's palm volleyed down, and the applause quickly disappeared.

"Everyone is engaged in scientific research. You only need to devote yourself to research. Later, I will set up a series of companies to connect with various laboratories. The pressure of technology transformation can be eliminated."

"Apart from this difficulty, what difficulties do you have? Feel free to speak up today, and I will solve it with all my strength."

As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, a white man stood up immediately. This was Zachary Norton, the head of the Optical Laboratory.

"Chairman, the biggest problem we are facing now is the personnel problem. There are too few scientific researchers with sufficient level."

As soon as he finished speaking, another person got up and agreed.

...

In the following time, Xia Yu recorded all the questions that everyone reported.

In fact, there are not many problems, that is, the lack of people, the lack of the most advanced experimental equipment and so on.

In this regard, Xia Yu promised on the spot that he would apply to the Hong Kong government to formulate a favorable immigration policy for talents, and at the same time encouraged everyone to attract the elites they knew, and he would make every effort to create a good scientific research environment.

On the top experimental equipment, Xia Yu also promised to let everyone make a list, and he would do his best to arrange for someone to get it back.

It was not until 3:30 in the afternoon that the meeting finally ended.

Only after the announcement was made, Xia Yu suddenly stopped someone.

It is Hu Zhengming, the head of the semiconductor laboratory!

This scientist, who was originally a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley, became a famous Daniel in later generations.

Not only is he a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he is also the biggest behind-the-scenes hero of TSMC who invented the fin field effect transistor.

Liang Mengsong, the "chip madman" of TSMC in later generations, is also his disciple.

At TSMC, Liang Mengsong produced more than 500 semiconductor patents, and was able to beat IBM in the research and development of 130-nanometer copper process.

Then lead TSMC to complete 28nm, 14nm, 12nm and n+1 technologies into mass production, and even complete the research and development of 7nm technology, making TSMC the world's top chip manufacturer.

It is worth mentioning that Liang Mengsong was forced to leave TSMC due to a failure in the workplace struggle for a period of time, and went to South Korea to teach, but he taught Samsung Semiconductor students. Instead, he led Samsung Semiconductor to surpass TSMC in the 16nm and 14nm chip processes. , and thus won the large orders of Apple and Qualcomm, and continued to take off.

Of course, now his disciple Liang Mengsong also came to Xiangjiang with him and joined Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory.

With the mentor and the apprentice two future tech giants, Xia Yu is full of expectations in research and development.

It's just because of the current international situation that Xia Yu hopes to boost their growth and enable his own semiconductor field layout to be rapidly formed.
