This is a very practical problem.
The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology.
When we look at it from a national level, it's the same.
Why do so many underdeveloped countries generally have the concept of "buying is better than making"? It's not until they have suffered too many losses that they have to deceive themselves and accept the harsh reality.
Investment in scientific and technological research and development is a very serious issue. Especially the entire scientific and technological system, from the foundation to towering skyscrapers, is firmly controlled by developed Western countries.
"Generally, small and weak countries wanting to climb the technology ladder would have to sell off all their national resources and even their population, and still wouldn't be able to afford such high-end things.
A large investment in research funding, ten thousand projects, may not necessarily yield a single result. Even if there are results, they are technologies that developed countries eliminated years ago, and cannot at all transform research results into economic benefits to drive sustainable research and development."
The reason why China is able to rise is its unique advantage, which is rare in other countries in the world, that is, having a huge scale. The enormous market created by a population of over a billion can accommodate more technology companies in a step-by-step manner. Once any bottleneck technology is broken through, it will have a market prospect of hundreds of billions.
And chips have a market prospect of trillions. Even if domestic production increases by one percentage point, it is a huge astronomical figure of benefits.
So, China is likely to be the last rising world power.
Next door, India also had a chance, but even if India maximized its population advantage, it would not be possible to compare with China.
I won't talk about the neighboring countries. The terrible geopolitical situation, extreme harsh natural geography and climate conditions are far inferior to China, which can be said to be innate insufficient. Moreover, with the caste system's inherent weakness, there is basically only the unique dance and music culture left as the final advantage, making it a "colorful and influential country" in the South Asian region.
As for the rest, such as south vietnam, Laos, they can basically be ignored. Their scale is too small, which means they are destined to lack the explosive power and endurance needed for upward breakthroughs.
"How much funding do we roughly need to support?" Gao Yuliang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still worried that it might exceed the affordable range.
He Zhou pondered for a moment and gave an approximate figure, "For the machinery and equipment plus initial technical support, we probably need around 20 to 30 million, and more importantly, this may require the use of foreign exchange."
"foreign exchange?" Gao Yuliang's brow furrowed even deeper.
He hesitated a bit. Nowadays, foreign exchange is extremely valuable, and there are countless places in various industries that need foreign exchange.
If it's people currency, the problem isn't that big.
Each Standing Committee in Linzhou City has a discretionary fund. Gao Yuliang just took office last year and hasn't spent much money, so there's still over nine million left.
Moreover, now that the new year has just begun, the budget is almost finalized. Even if we have to tighten our belts this year and endure some hardship, we can grit our teeth and get this gold nugget done. He Zhou thought for a moment and added, "However, perhaps the difficulty is not as great as we imagine. We can sign a installment payment agreement with the international company in the name of the local government."
"Installment payments?" Gao Yuliang was somewhat stunned, can it be done like this?
"Yes, it's installment payments. Developed Western countries have been doing this for a long time," He Zhou said calmly.
In fact, in the early 1990s, it was a period when the enthusiasm for national savings in China was extremely high. The media of developed countries were inciting and influencing common people in China to consume in advance.
Repeatedly brainwashing the government and common people about why they should not pay for a house in installments, but rather pay in full, and that money will only depreciate, this led to the widespread cancellation of housing benefits for state-owned enterprises, local enterprises, etc. in the 1990s, and the transition to self-purchased commercial housing.
"Is this possible?" Gao Yuliang felt a little moved.
These days, the official exchange rate of people currency is still quite strong, but foreigner are not fools. They usually engage in private transactions to obtain more people currency.
So the actual exchange rate is generally much higher than the listed exchange rate.
He Zhou expressed some disbelief, "When Jiang Taigong fishes, he wishes for the fish to take the bait. We are here at Linzhou City Government, would they still blame us if we left?"
As for the extra interest caused by installment payments, don't blame me for being a wet blanket. In case a foreigner sets a trap for us, takes the money and runs, we'll end up having to pay a high repair fee later on..."
It is said that the DNA testing equipment sold to evil City is like this. It seems very cheap, but it has frequent problems, which infuriates the workers in the evil City's municipal legal system.
The result of not calling foreigner back not only lacked a response, but also vaguely accused them of improper operation.
Without paying for expensive maintenance and repairs, that pile of machinery and equipment will just end up as scrap metal.
"Exactly, you should still be cautious, Tongwei!" Gao Yuliang nodded.
In fact, Gao Yuliang's mentality is the prevailing mentality among the Chinese people at present, which is to completely admire Western European and American countries with a pilgrim's mindset.
This mentality is more fully demonstrated in the intellectual community. At the same time, they also keenly understand that they have never been on the same page as the UK and the US.
Even a brief intimacy will eventually lead to parting ways and mutual hostility.
The day when China can truly become strong, able to sit on an equal footing with the West, and even look down on The other party, is approaching.
He Zhou smiled, "When the machine equipment is installed, I can ask for help from the Ministry or government ministry. There was a DNA testing laboratory in the capital two years ago, so they must have many skilled and experienced technicians."
"That sounds great,"
Gao Yuliang put on his glasses and smiled kindly, " Tongwei, are you really not interested in Fangfang at all?"
He Zhou: "......"
If there were no Gao Xiaoqin sisters, and after breaking up with Chen Yang, maybe he would really consider Gao Fangfang.
But everything is just "if".
"Please help."
