Hearing Gao Nian's words, the students at the scene immediately fell silent.
Although they didn't know how much overseas research funding was allocated to the chip industry, nor did they know the amount of Intel's research funding.
However, the 640 million US dollars in research funding of TSMC made them feel a great deal of pressure.
TSMC alone has 640 million US dollars in research funding, and this 640 million US dollars is mainly used to upgrade the next generation of process technology.
From this, it can be inferred that the research funding of other semiconductor companies overseas must be a quite alarming figure.
Finally, adding the fact that Huaxia also needs to work hard to develop chip production equipment with performance no lower than that of foreign countries.
Overall, if the Huaxia chip manufacturing industry wants to develop, it is almost at a hellish level of difficulty.
At this time, a middle-aged professor wearing gold-rimmed glasses and possessing a hint of refined temperament raised his hand and asked:
"Mr. Gao Nian, as far as I know, whenever we develop high-end equipment and break the foreign blockade,
the West will lift the import restrictions on this high-end equipment.
They will even slightly relax the restrictions, allowing more advanced and more functional Western high-end equipment to be sold to Huaxia.
This is to allow domestic manufacturers to vote with their feet to purchase Western high-end equipment, and not to purchase domestically produced high-end equipment.
So that those manufacturers who have invested large sums of money to develop domestically produced high-end equipment will lose everything and be on the verge of bankruptcy.
In this case, your Geek Technology Company is investing money to develop high-end production equipment, aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
Hearing the middle-aged professor's words, the students at the scene stirred up.
Some people learned about this for the first time, and also learned for the first time that the West was so despicable, so they became angry.
Of course, some people had already known about this for a long time, so their anger carried a hint of sadness and helplessness.
However, no matter what their emotions were, at this time they looked at Gao Nian with curiosity.
I don't know whether Gao Nian will choose to retreat and give up after knowing the truth, or choose to face the difficulties head-on?
Facing people's various gazes, Gao Nian smiled freely.
"People living in this world always have to do something, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Lei Bu and I have already met the first four levels of physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, and respect needs.
Both of us are already at the fifth level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the self-transcendence level.
Therefore, we both take money very lightly, and living is to achieve self-transcendence and realize the dreams in our hearts!
So even if we know that the West will lift import restrictions and let advanced Western equipment flood in, eventually causing our research and development to lose everything.
But we will still not give up, will not compromise, because someone always has to stand up, why can't that person be us, can't it be Geek Technology Company?"
After speaking, Gao Nian showed a hearty smile, which made people moved.
At this time, in Gao Nian, they saw a rare or already lost spirit.
So they were all moved, and their eyes were full of complexity when they looked at Gao Nian.
Because this is a true idealist!
Along with their turbulence, their eyes changed again when they looked at Gao Nian.
If someone is familiar with the changes in human eyes, they would read from the eyes that this is an approving look.
Next, Gao Nian continued to speak for more than ten minutes, and then this temporary meeting ended.
At the end, many students also bravely spoke up to take pictures or ask for autographs.
Fortunately, Principal Wu came out and saved Gao Nian, otherwise so many students signing autographs could take until tomorrow.
After the meeting, Gao Nian came to the school's office and sat down, starting private talks.
Here, Gao Nian also frankly stated his thoughts, and Zhongshan University also began to discuss.
Gao Nian didn't know what the specific result would be, because Gao Nian couldn't stay at Zhongshan University specifically waiting for their reply.
So after saying his views, Gao Nian went to Professor Bai Ze's house for dinner, and then left Zhongshan University, after all, Gao Nian is a very busy person.
And time passed slowly like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon several days later.
Gao Nian, who was busy with research and development work, received a call from Principal Wu, who represented Zhongshan University in accepting Gao Nian's proposal.
Principal Wu said that Zhongshan University will give full play to its reputation advantages and vigorously recruit domestic and foreign professors in science.
In addition, they will also use their network advantages to start poaching graduate students from other schools, and strive to fill the problem of insufficient number of science graduate students in Zhongshan University.
Of course, the issues of scientific research sites and scientific research instruments still need to be solved jointly by Geek Technology Company and Zhongshan University.
In this regard, whoever invests more will naturally get more dividends when the future scientific research results come out.
As for why Geek Technology Company wants to go around in a circle to cooperate with Zhongshan University, instead of directly establishing a research institution to conduct research on its own.
The reason is that Geek Technology Company has too many scientific research projects to carry out, and the industry involved in a single domestic lithography machine is too wide.
Therefore, if Geek Technology Company takes care of everything by itself, it is actually impossible to simultaneously research so many things.
After all, Geek Technology Company's investment does not include chip production, but also includes computer hardware and mobile phone hardware fields.
In addition, another reason for conducting "industry-university-research" cooperation with Zhongshan University is to use the cheap research human resources of the school for its own use.
As we all know, graduate students refer to master's students and doctoral students, among which master's students initially have the ability to conduct scientific research.
They can complete a part of the scientific research project under the guidance of the tutor, and have the ability to perform data statistics and write papers.
Doctoral students are at a higher level than master's students.
It refers to having complete personal scientific research ability, from the design to the completion of the experiment, from the topic selection to the writing of the paper, there is no problem.
Then, if the task of publishing the number of papers by this doctoral student in professional core journals meets the requirements,
then they can graduate and officially become a doctor.
If the requirements are not met, it will be difficult to graduate and will always be at the level of doctoral students.
Therefore, doctoral students can be regarded as doctoral reserves, and their abilities far exceed master's students, only a line away from a doctorate.
Of course, even so, they are still students, and as students, they must accept the arrangements of the school, otherwise there is no way to graduate smoothly.
This leads to them needing to participate in scientific research and development as intern students, and the salary of this intern student is naturally impossible to be too high.
Although in terms of actual salary, it is definitely higher than the salary of many ordinary workers, it is definitely lower than the salary of those research personnel who have graduated for many years.
Some black-hearted tutors even exploit students as free labor, making students suffer in silence.
Therefore, the scientific research cost of universities is naturally much lower than that of normal enterprises, which is naturally an advantage in terms of scientific research labor costs.
And this advantage of low scientific research labor costs is simply too important for Geek Technology Company, because Geek Technology Company has too many projects to carry out.
Chip manufacturing, computer hardware, and mobile phone hardware, the three major fields are laid out at the same time, representing a terrifying speed of burning money!
