Back to the teenage years

Chapter 566 Fund
Late at night.

There is a bit of spring dryness in the air.

Zhang Yunqi was lying on the soft big bed. The bedside lamp was emitting a faint light, and there seemed to be a familiar fragrance floating in the air.

He couldn't fall asleep.

At this moment, a buzzing fly attracted his attention.

The fly was lying on the opposite wall.

There was another fly nearby, which suddenly flew up and landed on the back of the previous fly.

Needless to say, this guy must be a male.

The female fly seemed to feel very embarrassed. How could she just do it without saying anything? So she buzzed in dissatisfaction, shook herself and flew away to another place.

The male fly rose to the challenge, drew a graceful arc in the air, and rode on her back again.

Even a human cannot bear such an elegant and infatuated pursuit, let alone a fly?

The female fly also got excited and did not resist immediately, but lay there obediently. The male fly was encouraged and flapped its wings and flew up again, drawing a heart shape in the air, and then lay on the female fly's back again.

The female fly was finally knocked down completely by the male fly's relentless pursuit. They just rode on each other and flew up at the same time, truly reaching a state of living together and flying together. After drawing a circle together, they finally landed on the wall to mate.

The "buzz buzz buzz..." sound became even louder, disturbing those who couldn't sleep late at night.

When Zhang Yunqi woke up from his dream, it was already bright. He looked at the time and it was already noon.

At this time, Hu Zhibiao had already gone out to do some work. Zhang Yunqi had talked a lot about the Aiwa VCD player super error correction competition yesterday, so he had something to do.

After Zhang Yunqi finished washing up, he called Li Yufei directly: "Are you up?"

Li Yufei said, "Wake up. Xiaokai and I have gone out to play. I thought you slept late last night, so I didn't call you."

Zhang Yunqi said okay and hung up the phone.

After a while, Wang Guibing and Liu Ming came.

They came to report on the special fund for the digital optical disc industry.

Zhang Yunqi only talked big and made big plans for the specific operation of Aiwa Electronics, while Hu Zhibiao had to implement the specific things. How to make money to ensure the stability of the capital chain of the growing Aiwa Electronics system was the top priority for him as the chairman, so when he came to Yanjing this time, he was most concerned about the special fund for the digital optical disc industry.

This special fund is jointly established and managed by the National Economic and Trade Commission, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other ministries. Its core goal is to support enterprises in breaking through "bottleneck" technologies such as movement and decoding chips and reducing their dependence on foreign countries through low-interest loans and financial subsidies.

The fund amount is at least 1 billion.

With such a high amount and since it is a national fund, the screening and review criteria are naturally very strict.

First, the entry threshold is to have a technical foundation, large-scale production capacity and market influence, and secondly, to be listed as a key recommendation by local governments and ministries. Only in this way can the efficiency of fund use and demonstration effect be ensured.

Zhang Yunqi had already reported this to the province before he came to Yanjing. The core logic of obtaining the special fund in his plan was to deeply bind the company's technology upgrade needs with the national strategic goals as an industry leader, and prove its "breakthrough possibility" through feasible plans. Aiwa Electronics has all three: strategic fit + execution + policy resource integration, and this is exactly what Zhang Yunqi believes is the key to whether he can successfully win this fund. He also believes that this model will definitely be a historical standard template for future companies to apply for government industrial funds.

As for the specific application process, it is quite complicated.

During this period, Liu Ming has led the team to advance the preliminary preparations and project planning.

Liu Ming obtained the special fund application details through the Southern Hunan Economic and Trade Commission and the Jiangchuan Municipal Government, and is already filling out the "Project Application". The core content is a technical solution combining the technical route for localizing the movement (such as reverse engineering Philips movement, improving production technology), time nodes, etc., followed by the economic and social benefits brought about by this matter, the driving effect of the industrial chain, as well as financial plans, corporate qualifications certificates, etc.

Of course, the most difficult part is to work with the internal R&D team and external experts to evaluate the technical path for domestic movement R&D, identify the key links that need to be broken through (such as optical head accuracy, servo system stability), plan production line construction, R&D investment, patent licensing and other costs, conduct technical feasibility studies, estimate funding needs, etc.

This matter cannot be resolved in a short period of time, but the project must be moved forward.

There is nothing wrong with a letter of recommendation from the local government.

The Jiangchuan Municipal Government has issued an official document to recommend and emphasize the role of Aiwa Electronics in supporting the local economy to the ministries and commissions. The supporting support such as tax refunds and land preferences has been fully implemented by Jiangchuan City, and it has also jointly invested in Aiwa Electronics with the Provincial State-owned Investment Corporation.

You should know that in order to prevent the interest-free funds from being diverted for other purposes, the supporting support of the local government is a necessary condition for application. In the VCD player industry, at that time, only Aiwa Electronics in China has truly formed a deep binding cooperation with the provincial and municipal governments.

In general, this national special fund is a typical model of China's industrial fund support policy in the late 90s: "Ministries set the direction - local governments promote enterprises - ministries conduct joint evaluation - funds follow progress."

The most important thing here is the joint review by ministries and commissions. The joint review mainly includes three steps: preliminary qualification review, expert review meeting and final review and public announcement by ministries and commissions. Among these steps, the most important one is the expert review. The expert review is led by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and experts in optical storage, mechanical engineering and other fields are organized to question the feasibility of the technical solution, evaluate whether the technical path circumvents international patent barriers, whether the equipment procurement list is reasonable, and whether the performance of domestic movement can meet the standards of imported products, and then conduct on-site defense.

At present, Aiwa Electronics' hard power in the VCD industry is not inferior to any domestic peers. Even Shinco is following behind them. However, its soft power should still be exerted, and its business must go where it wants.

Zhang Yunqi's visit to Yanjing this time is to build up a network of experts in the domestic fields of optical storage, mechanical engineering, etc. This group of people will largely determine which company will be selected.

Of course, the list of experts of the expert review committee will not be made public in advance, but since we are all in this field, and there are very limited talented experts in this field in China at the moment, some information can be indirectly inferred.

Wang Guibing brought a message to Zhang Yunqi that Wei Nan, director of the Xiangnan Office in Yanjing, had invited a number of technical experts through his connections and informed Zhang Yunqi to attend an industry-university-research symposium on Monday.

One of the responsibilities of the Xiangnan Office in Yanjing is to strengthen contacts with Hunanese people and people from all walks of life in Beijing, and to seek their support and assistance for Hunan's economic and social development. Before Zhang Yunqi came to Yanjing, the provincial chief eunuch Liu Minsheng had already informed Director Wei Nan, otherwise how could he work so hard without even meeting Zhang Yunqi?

Zhang Yunqi asked: "Which units have experts?"

Liu Ming said: "Academician Li Yanda from the Department of Electronic Engineering of Tsinghua University has extensive research in signal processing, digital circuit design, and laser technology. There is also Academician Jin Guopan from the Department of Precision Instruments and Mechanics, who is a leading figure in Chinese optical engineering. His team is now focusing on optical head design and manufacturing technology. In addition, there are Academician Zhang Bei from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Liao Siming, deputy director of the Institute of Optoelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Zhang Yici, president of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, and many more."

Zhang Yunqi nodded. This team was really awesome. It seemed that the greeting Liu Minsheng gave to Director Wei Nan was strong enough.

You should know that the review experts of the Digital Optical Disc Special Fund are all from domestic authoritative scientific research institutions, and they are most likely the main leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, and the Chinese Institute of Electronics. Of course, even if they are not, he still has to win over such people, because he can carry out in-depth cooperation with Aiwa Electronics in technical research and patent reserves, talent training and industry delivery.

As for how to win them over, it's not difficult. Zhang Yunqi looked at the time and said to Wang Guibing and Liu Ming, "Come with me to the Xiangnan Office in Beijing."

The two nodded and accompanied Zhang Yunqi out of the Kempinski Hotel and drove directly to the Xiangnan Office in Yanjing, located at No. 2, Madian South Road, Huayuan Road Street, HD District.

On the way, Liu Ming made a phone call with Director Wei Nan, and Wang Guibing said to Zhang Yunqi, "Oh, Boss, we found Wang Jinghua. You said she is now working as an agent for the famous star Chen Daoming. I asked around and found her."

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Find a time and ask her out for me."
