Zhang Dongshuo has become engrossed in the fundamental theories of quantum chips.
Moreover, with some IBM literature as the foundational theory, it is believed that it will soon be able to enter the field of materials science.
Based on the available information, IBM has only just begun screening materials; we can't see any of the various experiments conducted. However, from this perspective, the gap in catching up isn't that large.
As long as the funding keeps up, and we work on it for a few years, we might achieve some results.
This is a bottomless investment; hundreds of millions or even billions may not be enough, and it may take years or decades to see results, let alone any rate of return.
Xing Baohua planned to speak with the heads of the national research departments, and he had given them a copy of the IBM data. The question was whether to conduct the research separately or to collaborate and concentrate their efforts.
Major national research institutions lack funding and equipment. Xing Baohua has no shortage of such resources; the key shortage is personnel.
Zhang Dongshuo alone could exhaust that bastard.
Of course, we still need to talk. Even if we can't reach a cooperation agreement, we can still share some resources.
Xing Baohua has never calculated how much money he owes, but for now he has enough to live on and can even use one loan to pay off another.
Quantum chips represent a huge gap in supply; where can we get the funding?
Well, I guess I'll have to find a way to earn some extra money. Unfortunately, after last year's financial crisis, there shouldn't be any major financial fluctuations in the next two years.
The only financial fluctuations are still a few years away.
Forget about making a quick buck or doing anything shady for the next couple of years.
The major projects for the next two years are to get Pengfei up and running, the wafer fab in Shanghai, and to temporarily expand the rice production line.
Both Pengfei and the wafer fab have invested over 20 billion yuan in the past two years.
Of course, this is just the starting price; there will be more to come. In addition, with the lithography institute receiving covert support, billions are being poured into it every year.
The car factory represents someone's business, and profitability isn't expected in the short term. Maintaining a balance is a tremendous skill.
Many things are just like that; you don't know until you calculate them, and then... a headache!
When Hou Qian arrived in central Shandong and got off the train, she was surrounded by many tricycle drivers asking her where she was going.
These days, there are few rental cars, and they can't compare to those at the airport. I didn't see a single taxi when I got off at the station, so I had to take a pedicab.
I told him I wanted to go to the government compound, which isn't too far from the train station, about seven or eight blocks away. The tricycle driver didn't dare to overcharge and asked for 1.5 yuan.
Xing Baohua's mother-in-law was a little surprised to see Hou Qian. She had thought that a phone call a few days ago would be enough.
Who knew the other party would arrive? It was a relative who never visited, and this was the start of their relationship.
They asked all sorts of questions, bringing up many people related to Hou Qian's family. Most of them asked about her work, health, and so on.
After finishing their casual conversation, they talked about Hou Qian's next plans. Hou Qian mentioned coming to Dami for an interview, and perhaps she would be staying in central Shandong permanently in the future.
"Dami is good. It's just that the level is a bit low. Actually, you don't necessarily have to go to the Dami Lab. They also have several companies that cooperate with public institutions, so you can keep your public institution status."
“Auntie, you and my mom share the same views. I don’t care about government jobs or any kind of job. If I’m not happy, I can just switch companies. There’s no need to hold onto a secure job.”
"It really makes a difference once you're out there! I'm even a little worried about your cousin's job now; let's see where she'll be assigned!"
Hou Qian was speechless for a moment, but she couldn't reveal anything, so she could only advise, "Don't worry about your cousin's affairs. Her boyfriend is taking care of her."
Xing Baohua's mother-in-law simply nodded, assuming that Su Ya had told him about her boyfriend, and didn't pay any attention.
However, it was somewhat unusual that Hou Qian visited Su Ya's house after being targeted.
Report through the chain of command to uncover their connections. Don't get dragged into this without realizing it.
Originally, Hou Qian's matter needed to be investigated secretly, or perhaps a long-term strategy should be adopted to catch a big fish.
But now, we dare not lay out any more lines.
Xie Yingying then obtained Hou Qian's job application resume, and explained that the other party was likely a corporate spy.
Furthermore, it uses parentheses to indicate that she is Suya's cousin, and includes a family tree.
This investigation was incredibly thorough. Thankfully, it wasn't a case of executing nine generations of relatives; otherwise, based on the names on the family tree, not a single one would have escaped.
Xie Yingying glanced at the document, knew its importance, and showed it to Xing Baohua first.
This guy was arguing with Zhang Dongshuo and two mathematicians about a problem. They'd been arguing since morning, and Xie Yingying overheard something about functions?
Anyway, she didn't understand anything, so she just stayed by the phone and took notes.
When Xing Baohua saw Xie Yingying arrive, he figured she couldn't handle the situation. Upon seeing the documents, he grimaced, unsure what to say.
"Newcastle University?" Xing Baohua wondered to himself, what kind of university is that?
That's what it says on the resume, so Xing Baohua continued reading. To be honest, if it weren't for Su Ya, Xing Baohua might not have bothered with this kind of thing.
The fact that his home had become a den of thieves was indeed a headache, but without concrete evidence, it was difficult to take them down. Moreover, with the relevant departments handling the matter, he was actually saving himself a lot of trouble.
But this time it's different.
They've already turned your relatives against you, so try to educate them before they cause any real harm.
Judging from the relationships and work of these relatives, if Hou Qian gets into trouble, these relatives will have virtually no hope of promotion in government agencies or important units.
This is no small matter; it involves an entire family. Although there's no such thing as guilt by association now, there is an internal review process.
It concerns one's future. It used to be called "class background," but that's no longer the case.
But it's still there in reality.
