Chapter 1223 R&D Investment Ratio
In the next few days, Duan Yun did not stay idle in BJ, but bought a lot of software equipment and instruments for research equipment.

Before coming to BJ, Huang Lingyi gave Duan Yun a list of equipment, including a complete set of equipment for the clean laboratory. These equipment cannot be bought in Shenzhen, only BJ sells them, and some even need to be customized by some domestic manufacturers. , Ordinary people can't buy it at all.

But Zhongguancun is such a magical place. As long as you have money, there are people who can help you with everything, including approvals for various equipment. The various gray industrial chains here provide Duan Yun with great support. convenience.

All in all, no matter what kind of research equipment the Chinese Academy of Sciences has, Duan Yun's research and development center must also have what kind of equipment, no matter the cost, no matter the price, Duan Yun must also get it.

Fortunately, Duan Yun still has the 1550 million US dollars of foreign exchange retained in his hands that he just sold the production line. Duan Yun is not afraid of spending money, but he is afraid that the money will not be spent. It is necessary to stay in the bank to eat interest, but to convert the money into fixed assets with long-term value.

Through Li Yunpeng, Duan Yun has opened up some connections in the capital. In the past few days, he has met some "celebrities" in the capital. Most of them are powerful but low-key figures. Also very interested.

In fact, Duan Yun and these people also get what they need. They have all kinds of rights in their hands, and Duan Yun has a lot of cash in their hands. If they want to realize these rights, they have to find someone like Duan Yun to cooperate. , and Duan Yun can also take the opportunity to exchange some of the resources and talents he wants from them.

When I visited Toshiba Corporation last year, Duan Yun was deeply impressed. There are more than 2700 R&D personnel in a microelectronics department, all of whom are highly educated and experienced R&D personnel. The team will spend an astronomical amount of time, and the annual salary of each experienced senior talent will start at around one million.

But now China's highly educated talents are too "cheap". Duan Yun once calculated that even the elite researchers of national-level research and development institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Institute of Autonomy have a salary cost of 15000 a year. To about 2, according to Duan Yun's preliminary plan to form a R&D team of 200 people, the total labor cost is only about 300 million to 400 million, which is not considered for Tianyin Electronics Factory, which currently has a monthly profit of tens of millions. What a big investment.

Even if all kinds of equipment, consumables, raw materials and other costs are included, 800 million a year is more than enough, which is only equivalent to about 5% of the annual net profit of Tianyin Electronics Factory. very healthy.

In fact, in the 80s, state-owned enterprises generally invested about 1.5% to 3% in research and development, and Duan Yun's investment of 5% was considered too high.

However, compared with some well-known domestic technology companies in later generations, such as Huawei and ZTE, their annual R&D investment is about 10%. From this point of view, Duan Yun still has room to increase investment.

But in any case, the company's efficiency and profits are the most important, and he has to find ways to ensure that his chip factory must be profitable as soon as possible.

The Japanese side of Duan Yun's joint venture chip factory is only responsible for providing equipment and technical support, while Duan Yun is responsible for funding and developing the market. After all, the Japanese only want to sit on the ground and share the money. If Duan Yun can make this flash chip bigger , then they are happy to get a share of it. If this kind of storage chip proves to have commercial value, Toshiba will definitely produce it by itself. They have more advanced chip production process technology and can produce more advanced flash chips. It is easy to grab the market share of Duanyun Chip Factory.

If the Flash storage chip proves to have no market value, then Toshiba has nothing to lose, that is, it has sold its soon-to-be-eliminated production line equipment and technology to Duan Yun cheaply.

Therefore, the survival of this chip company depends on whether Duan Yun can quickly expand the market.

When he came to BJ this time, Duan Yun got in touch with Li Yunpeng, originally he just wanted to rely on him to recruit a few high-end technical talents, but Li Yunpeng brought him a bigger surprise, allowing him to get in touch with some big bosses doing business in Zhongguancun .

The four earliest established companies in Zhongguancun, Jinhai, Kehai, Stone, and Xintong, all relied on various relationships to model reselling approval documents and resell materials to lower-level agents. Among them, Xintong was involved in a smuggling case and was finally arrested. Sealed up, and 4Tone is the predecessor of Sina. In 1984 alone, Jin Hai’s sales reached 2700 million yuan, with a profit of 400 million yuan. Two years later, Kehai’s sales exceeded [-] million yuan. But in the end, the two big losers All died down.

Relying on Li Yunpeng, Duan Yun became acquainted with the bosses of the four major companies in Liangtong and Lianghai, but they are not from the same way after all. The only benefit Duan Yun can get is that he can buy them at a low price from BJ Zhongguancun in the future. some supplies.

However, another person Li Yunpeng introduced to Duan Yun caught his attention, that is Wang Zhi, the general manager of Great Wall Computer Company.

Duan Yun has always wanted to cooperate with computer PC manufacturers, develop and produce computer chips, and become a supplier for domestic and foreign computer companies.

In the 80s, Great Wall Computer was definitely the light of domestic computers. As early as 1980, the Fourth Machinery Industry Ministry in charge of the electronics industry, which was the predecessor of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, began research on microcomputers.

The Electronic Technology Application Research Institute of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery has a microprocessor research room. Ding Shilong, the director, leads two large groups. One group imitates Intel chips, namely the 05 series, and the other imitates Motorola chips, namely the 06 chips. They cooperate with Japanese companies. Conduct microcomputer public relations.

In 1983, the Ministry of Electronics Industry determined the 05 series, named it 0520A, and arranged for production at BJ738 Factory. In 1985, with the assistance of all parties, this model became China's first fully Chinese-characterized computer, named 1CH.

On December 1986, 12, Wang Zhi, former deputy director of the Computer Management Bureau of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, led the 12 computer development team and founded Great Wall Computer Company.

Because the 0520 computer is a completely Chinese-characterized computer, it will be very convenient for domestic operators to learn and use. In addition, the price of IBM's PC in Zhongguancun at that time was 3 yuan, while the Great Wall computer sold for more than 2 yuan. This kind of computer is very popular, with a total of more than 1.5 units sold, with an income of several hundred million.

If Duan Yun chooses to seek cooperation with domestic computer manufacturers, then Great Wall Company is the best choice.
