"Get lost! I want them to dislike me. Who has that much time to deal with them?"
"They're blacklisting you right now."
"It's all just child's play! Let's see how long they can keep this up."
After I finished speaking, the finance department came to report that all the funds from above had been allocated.
Nangong Xi also came to me, hoping to discuss the cooperation method and fund allocation with the military factory.
I told Yuan Bao to sit for a while, and we went to the meeting.
This was also the institute's first meeting.
Apart from the motorcade and the security personnel on duty, all the leaders were present.
Nangong Xi: "The government has allocated 6 billion yuan for the research and development of fourth-generation fighter jets and drones."
In addition, the price of a fourth-generation fighter jet is 800 million yuan, and the price of a drone is 10 million yuan.
"Engineer Zheng, what do you think about how we should allocate the money between ourselves and the military factory?"
Nangong Xi meant that they wouldn't receive any research funding or rewards, because it was all developed by her.
They didn't get a share of the money for buying the plane; it was only allocated between me and the military factory.
So after she finished speaking, everyone was a bit disheartened.
However, others were quite envious of the six billion yuan in R&D funding.
"I will only take half of the research and development funding and awards this time, and leave the rest in the research institute."
All staff members of the research institute, from the director and researchers to those who cook and clean, receive a bonus equivalent to three times their regular salary every month.
The bonus will be doubled during the project development period.
At the end of the year, there will be a bonus based on the institute's performance.
When I said this, the people below got incredibly excited.
Yuan Li exclaimed "Wow!"
"Furthermore! Without your guidance, the military factory wouldn't be able to produce the product after it's been developed."
Although working at the military factory means eating in the canteen and living in the barracks, our research institute will still provide subsidies.
Round-trip airfare, meal allowance, and each researcher must bring three security personnel when going out.
Everyone receives a subsidy.
As for the products, the aircraft engines, circuit boards, and various materials sourced from Junyang are estimated to account for half of the total product price.
So, of the remaining half, our research institute will take 30%, as operating funds for the institute and bonuses for everyone.
This would make the institute's finances extremely tight.
I dare say that if things continue like this, the funding for my research institute will be among the top in the country.
"Oh!" Yuan Li cheered, and the others were overjoyed as well.
Since I didn't live in the apartment allocated by the city government, that resentment has long since vanished.
"And another thing! I'm planning to improve everyone's living conditions soon, so don't worry, I promise I'll be able to buy a house."
Right now, all I can do is improve everyone's living conditions. Tomorrow, I'll have someone install air conditioning in every dormitory.
"Wow..." Everyone applauded.
"Alright! Everyone, please feel free to share any further opinions."
Everyone looked at each other with smiles.
Engineer Ge said, "What's there to complain about? The salary and benefits are better than what I get at a foreign company."
The finance officer said, "With this kind of compensation, I don't know how many people would be envious. Thank you, Engineer Zheng!"
As everyone knows, all these benefits are actually paid for by me, and I gave them up because of them.
So after he finished speaking, everyone thanked me.
"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. If there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting!"
Nangong Xi didn't leave. After everyone else had left, she said, "Aren't you being at a huge disadvantage? After all, it's all your money."
"It's okay! If we want our country's military industry to develop, we have to give everyone tangible benefits."
Once the system is truly established, I believe my sacrifice will be worthwhile.
In the near future, our Great Xia will astound the world.
"So, you still have a lot of weapons you can bring out?"
"Yes! However, I need to research alternatives for some materials. So some of the institute's funding will need to be used for this research."
"No problem! Anyway, this research institute is yours, you can use it however you want."
Actually, this place overlaps somewhat with my company's research base.
However, since my place is private, many things can only be obtained through official channels.
"Engineer Zheng!" At that moment, a security guard ran in: "There's a reporter named Tong Yaru outside looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xi rolled her eyes at me.
I first asked the gatekeeper to leave, and then said to Nangong Xi:
"There's nothing between us, she's the one who's been bothering me."
"I don't mind." That's what she said, but judging from her tone, she was still satisfied with my explanation.
"Hey? Why don't we go out together? She's not as pretty as you. Let's make her back down."
"I'm not going!" Nangong Xi ran away in fright, which left me speechless.
There was nothing I could do but ask the security guard to bring Tong Yaru to my office.
I even said I'd let Yuan Bao meet some beautiful women! But as soon as Tong Yaru walked in, Yuan Bao blurted out:
"Tong Yaru?"
Tong Yaru frowned when she saw Yuan Bao: "What are you doing here?"
"You two know each other?"
Tong Yaru rolled her eyes at Yuan Bao, who gave a wry smile.
"She's the most beautiful girl in our school's journalism department."
Alumni?
Yuan Bao leaned close to my ear and said, "I pursued her, but unfortunately, she wasn't interested in me. Is the relative of the provincial governor you mentioned her?"
"You didn't find out?"
Yuan Bao scratched his head: "I haven't even started investigating yet!"
"Hey! Are you done talking?" Tong Yaru shouted, clearly dissatisfied.
"Then tell me! What exactly do you want?"
"Hmph! It must feel bad to have no one to do business with when you can't buy a house, right?"
