" In order to reward Mr. Luo Chen for his contributions to the scientific research community, the decision-makers have agreed to grant Mr. Luo Chen a Ph.D. in computer science, 10% of Huaxin Technologies 'shares, and 5% of the total sales of the 7-nanometer-scale chips for the next five years.”
In the heavily guarded private meeting room, the old man read out the rewards from the decision-making level with a unique accent.
"Mr. Luo, no, Dr. Luo, congratulations.”The old man smiled at the stunned Luo Chen after he finished reading.
It wasn't just Luo Chen. Everyone present was stunned.
A computer science PhD was nothing. With Luo Chen's contributions, he was qualified to become a young scholar and an academician.
10% of Huaxin Technology's shares was a heavyweight reward in the long run, but for now, no one knew the market value of a company that was still in its infancy.
Perhaps it was a huge business empire worth trillions, or perhaps it failed in the competition and went bankrupt.
10% of the shares seemed like a lot, but before it grew, it was just a pile of waste paper. What was really surprising was the 5% commission on the total sales of 7 Nano in the next five years.
Don't think that a 5% commission is too little. In 2019, for example, the total domestic semiconductor import was as high as 300 billion US dollars, which was higher than the total oil import.
More than 80% of the 300 billion US dollars of import was related to chips, and the imported chips were mainly 7 nanometres. In other words, the annual sales of the 7 nano chip in China was about 200 billion US dollars.
In the past, the country was unable to mass produce the 7 nano chip and had no choice but to import it. With the mass production of the 7 nano chip, this portion of sales would remain in the country. This way, Luo Chen's annual commission would be at least 10 billion USD.
What was the concept of 10 billion USD?
There were very few businessmen in the world whose net worth exceeded 10 billion US dollars. They were well-deserved super-rich.
Even if he stopped working from now on and deposited 10 billion USD in the bank, the interest would be enough to feed the Luo family for more than ten lifetimes.
Take note that this is only the first year's commission. In five years, Luo Chen will earn at least 40 billion USD.
"This, this, this is too much." Luo Chen muttered as he accepted the authorization letter.
In the blink of an eye, he went from an ordinary person to the richest man in the country. He was a tycoon with tens of billions of cash flow. He could not accept it.
" Professor Luo," the old man patted his arm." With your contribution to the country, this reward is not high at all."”
Yes, in Luo Chen's eyes, 10 billion USD a year was very high. But from the perspective of the elderly, 10 billion dollars a year was nothing.
If it weren't for Luo Chen's sudden emergence, the semiconductor industry would have been the biggest weakness in the country.
The semiconductor industry was the foundation of the information age and an indispensable condition for promoting technological progress. If they could not make up for the shortcomings, it would be difficult for domestic scientific research to take off quickly.
Obviously, in order to obtain semiconductor resources, the country had to make concessions in negotiations with international capital. At that time, the price they had to pay could not be measured with money.
What Luo Chen didn't know was that before he appeared, the old man had already signed a new trillion-dollar investment plan.
From 2020 to 2025, the country would invest more than five trillion yuan to fully conquer chip technology and completely break the technological blockade of the West.
A hero who saved more than five trillion yuan for the country with his own strength, so what if he was rewarded with 10 billion US dollars?
Luo Chen's heart skipped a beat. He was happy that the country had acknowledged him, but he was also immersed in the joy of being rich enough to rival a country.
In this world, what one wanted was nothing more than two taels of silver. Who didn't have the dream of becoming rich? From then on, they would no longer bow down for money.
Luo Chen was the same. He wanted to drive a luxury car when he was still a student, so he could enter the upper class and be surrounded by beautiful women. A single purchase would cost an ordinary person's lifetime income.
Now that his dream had come true and the life he had been dreaming of was within his grasp, how could he not be excited?
However, he quickly calmed down. Perhaps he was not that keen on enjoying himself, or perhaps it was the after-effects of the system's knowledge.
After a moment of excitement, the charming scene in his mind quickly disappeared and he returned to calmness.
"Elder Yun, I can't take this money.”
A profit of 50 billion USD in five years was too big. There was no need to think about it. Once the news spread, the people around him would definitely be swayed and it would be difficult for them to focus on developing the 5 nano chip.
Seeing that the old man was about to say something, Luo Chen said decisively,""Elder Yun, it's impossible for one person to complete all the scientific research work. Since the country has the intention, why don't we use this money to improve the treatment of scientific researchers?”
Why was there a serious brain drain in the domestic scientific research community? Wasn't it related to the treatment?
It would take at least ten to twenty years for an ordinary person to finish their Ph.D., and they would be in their thirties after leaving school. This was the time when the pressure was the greatest. More than ten thousand yuan a month was simply a drop in the bucket. It was useless.
Looking at their peers driving good cars, living in big houses, looking at their own wages, coupled with the unbearable school tyrants, not only did they have low wages, but they also had to endure the exploitation of their bosses and the scientific research results being snatched away by primary school students, who could bear it?
Most scientific researchers either chose to enter private companies or go to other countries, unwilling to work for the country.
Luo Chen was lucky. If he had followed a certain black-hearted teacher, who knew which primary school student's scientific research competition would have the results of mass-producing a 7 nano chip.
He couldn't solve the problem of the school tyrants, but if he could, he was willing to let more researchers share the dividends of scientific and technological progress.
"It's good that you have the heart to do so. However, the reward belongs to you. You have to take it. If you don't take it, we won't be able to provide rewards to the latecomers if there are similar scientific research results in the future.”
Seeing that Luo Chen was about to speak, Elder Yun waved his hand.
"However, we can't control how this money is spent. If you want to improve the welfare of researchers, you can set up a fund to provide material assistance to every researcher.”
"As for this foundation, I think the Luo Chen Foundation is very good.”
Just like that, the Luo Chen Foundation was officially established and provided benefits to researchers in another way.
