Chapter 726 Suspicions about Hanxin ()

After gaining great fame, Cheng Jin did not receive the scientific research funds he desperately needed.

Because the semiconductor industry is a huge system project.

Chip design, chip manufacturing, chip packaging, and chip testing are the four major links that a chip must go through from scratch.

But these four links in the chip industry chain are not the only ones that will make everything fine. There are also four very important supporting links:
EDA tools, IP support, production equipment, and production raw materials are also indispensable key parts of the industrial chain.

At that time, China was struggling with even the simplest chip testing process, and the supporting links were completely blank.

Now that the chip design has been completed from 0 to 1 by Cheng Jin, the country's key focus areas have turned to other aspects.

The funds... are naturally less.

Moreover, didn’t he also develop Hanxin No. 1 with a total of 10 to 20 million yuan?

It means that we can’t spend so much money at all, so we might as well divide it up.

At this point, Cheng Jin looked aggrieved.

He even took out a folder from the bookshelf and showed the scientific research funds of the past few years to Qing Yun and Qing Yun one by one.

The three of them came to Cheng Jin's desk and sat down.

Qing Yun looked at them one by one, and then a look of constipation appeared on his face.

The total amount of funding Cheng Jin received was nominally 13 billion, but the actual funds received were 6043 million.

Xiao Ya was stunned when she saw this, and she didn't understand why.

Qing Yun, who has been in the scientific research community for many years, knows this very well. He can only say...scientific research has its own national conditions.

It's not that he was corrupted. Frankly speaking, scientific research funding is the most efficient funding. If you can keep it in your own pocket, except for falsely reporting business entertainment expenses and labor, everything else will have consequences.

Anyone who is smarter cannot do such stupid things. There are many ways to obtain benefits through the transformation of results.

These balances were diverted to other projects that needed more funds.

Doing scientific research in China has a very comic current situation.

A scientific research project has a budget, final accounts, audits, and supervision. This system cannot be said to be bad.

But there is a consequence, that is, no one can guarantee that scientific research will produce results, and no one can guarantee that the results will be displayed within the budget.

In this case, more and more people will focus on research that can produce results.

Otherwise, it will not be clear at all during audit and supervision.

Because most of the auditors and supervisors have backgrounds in finance, they are familiar with accounting, but they are laymen when it comes to scientific research. The questions they can ask can give academicians a brain hemorrhage.

So, what should we do about those 'loss-making' projects that don't even produce results?
After all, scientific research is sometimes just a metaphysics, and whether it can produce results really depends on fate.

You can't just say that research can't produce results, just arrest people and shoot them. If you do this, who would dare to do scientific research?
But without this audit and supervision system, it would definitely be another mess.

Therefore, 'making up for debt with abundance' has become an inevitable method.

Projects that have high scientific research funding and have produced results need to make up for those 'losses' and those that have not produced results.

Within the industry, joint projects and joint research and development have become the first choice.

But this was the first time Qing Yun had seen such a frenzied misappropriation of funds, like what Cheng Jin encountered, "a billion dollars only for tens of millions."

He also completely understood why there were more than 70 people in Cheng Jin's project team who were working hard.

Daqing is a way for some big bosses to "reimburse" their disciples if they can't come up with their own projects.

If you think about it carefully, it is completely normal.

After all, this is the crown jewel of industry—semiconductor chips.

If every scientific research had results, China's semiconductors would have risen long ago.

There will inevitably be a large amount of scientific research funding that forms sunk costs.

Emperor Yun shook his head. It seemed that Cheng Jin was not only the number one veteran in the semiconductor industry, but also the 'Great Sage of Settlement'.

No wonder nothing happened to him later.

Those big guys didn't dare to let anything happen to him.

But who can simply blame it?
All I can say is that the current situation is so fucked up, and no one can do anything about it in the middle of the situation.

Of course, it is undeniable that the tens of millions Cheng Jin received was also a huge amount of scientific research funding.

However, in the semiconductor industry, this amount is actually not even enough for starting capital.

Therefore, Cheng Jin could only keep bragging and asking for funds to transfer into the 'reverse restoration project'.

There is actually nothing wrong with him himself.

Otherwise, it would not happen in future generations. After the incident, people were shocked to find that Cheng Jin had escaped unscathed.

After listening to the description of the person involved, Emperor Yun completely understood and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What can be said?
It can only be said that the world is really just a huge grassroots team, which allowed Cheng Jin, a resume falsifier, to get to where he is today step by step.

Of course, the unrepentance and greed in Cheng Jin's own character were also the fundamental reasons for his destruction.

Whenever there was a step in the middle, he stopped and confessed honestly to the country, so that he would not reach the point where no one can end it properly like today.

Because of the gambling and luck mentality in his character, Cheng Jin chose to brag constantly.

Bullshit, if you have the ability, you can really brag a lot, and it is also your ability to round up the bullhide afterwards.

But cowhide is cowhide after all, and there is a certain limit. No matter how big it is, if you don’t thicken the cowhide itself, it will burst sooner or later.

Qing Yun put her hands in her hair and was speechless.

In fact, from the perspective of the matter itself, Cheng Jin is indeed worthy of death.

According to what he said at the moment and the supporting materials, it can be seen that he is indeed embarking on a reverse reduction project.

But Qing Yun was too familiar with the subsequent process.

In the era of Internet awakening, whether it is netizens, anti-counterfeiters, or people with ulterior motives, they are always able to push things from one extreme to another where all parties involved are unable to get off.

Hanxin's mine explosion was not an accident in itself, but an organized and premeditated sniper attack. What followed was overwhelming news, constantly pointing out that Loongson was unable to keep up, that Ark and Demosis were technologically backward, and that commercialization failed due to the lack of ecological support.

Then, the most unfortunate thing happened.

Driven by people with ulterior motives, the chips made by Loongson, Ark, and Demosis are conscientious and down-to-earth. In the eyes of public opinion, they are equal to Hanxin.

They have become synonymous with scams.

Suddenly, the term 'domestic chip' became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.

The Hanxin incident has dealt a huge blow to the domestic chip industry.

Rubbing chips by hand is certainly a shame, but because of this shame, the country did not dare to invest in chips for ten years.

Thinking of this, the pity for Cheng Jin that had just arisen in Qing Yun's heart disappeared.

Not to mention soybeans, it can be seen from the Huaxin International incident that the enemy's designs are serial and premeditated.

He didn't dare to gamble.

Qing Yun raised his head and said calmly to Cheng Jin, "Teacher... Fraud, corruption, misappropriation of public funds of more than one billion... How many times do you think you can die?" (For fraud, the death penalty was abolished after the law was later revised. .)
When Cheng Jin heard this, his face turned ashen at first, and then he turned red. He smashed his fists on the table and roared hysterically,

"I didn't! I didn't get the billion or so at all!"

Looking at Cheng Jin, whose chest was rising and falling rapidly like a bellows, Qing Yun sneered,
"Who can prove it?"

Cheng Jin looked at him in disbelief, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the folder on the table, "The actual funds allocated to my project team are only over 6000 million!"

Qing Yun gave him a pitiful look, "Teacher, don't be stupid, do you think they will admit it?

Moreover, without your name, this money cannot be obtained. "

Having said this, he shook his head and said coldly, "Teacher, more than 6000 million is enough for a death sentence.

Even if it's not the death penalty, you can't escape indefinitely. It's clearly written in the law. "

Bang!
Cheng Jin slumped down on his office chair.

His face instantly became as pale as paper, and his eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he just heard.

"Frankly speaking, teacher, in this situation, you have no other way out but death. Because everyone will put the blame on you."

Cheng Jin's lips trembled slightly, trying to say something, but found that his voice was hoarse and he could hardly make a sound.

His fingers gripped the edge of the table tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. His breathing also became rapid, and his chest heaved violently, as if he had just run a marathon.

The despair was like an invisible pressure that made Cheng Jin almost breathless.

A trace of confusion and fear flashed in his eyes. A moment ago, he was a giant in the semiconductor industry, but now he was facing a possible death penalty or life imprisonment. Such a huge contrast made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Cheng Jin's mind was in chaos. He recalled his glorious moments. Those praises and applause had now become so distant and empty.

If I had...if I hadn't falsified my resume...if I hadn't been so greedy, maybe I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the feeling of despair almost made him collapse. This emotion was like a black hole, swallowing him whole.

Cheng Jin's eyes gradually became hollow, and he seemed to have seen himself sitting alone in the corner of the cell, facing endless darkness and loneliness.

At this moment, his heart was filled with despair. That despair made him feel an unprecedented coldness, as if even his blood was about to solidify. His heart was filled with fear for the future and regret for the past.

However, in an instant, he seemed to understand something.

After squirming his lips a few times, Cheng Jin burst into tears, "Mr. Xiaoqing... let me live... I will do anything to repay you from now on."

Why is Qing Yun here?
Even if he is a member of Guoan, how could Guoan come to do this kind of thing?

Of course, it’s not that National Security cannot come, but there is no need to dispatch National Security.

What you do has nothing to do with the National Security Bureau!
and so……

As the number one veteran in the semiconductor industry, Cheng Jin calmed down instantly.

In this case, it must be that Qing Yun wants to get something from herself.

However, Cheng Jin couldn't figure out what Qing Yun wanted about him for a while.

When Qing Yun saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

As expected of him!

Taking out a stack of information from his briefcase, Qing Yun stood up and placed it in front of Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin flipped through it hastily, all evidence of his fraud.

It even included the testimony of the migrant worker who polished the chips for him.

but……

Cheng Jin raised his head and looked at the cheap apprentice in front of him, with confusion behind his thick myopic glasses.

These evidences, including testimonies, were signed in July and August.

In other words, Qing Yun actually knew what was going on with Hanxin No. 1 and his background.

Cheng Jin understood. This cheap disciple must have been planning to make MP3 players for a long time, and then chose Hanxin No. . It was probably after an investigation that he found out that he was a parallel importer.

But what he didn't understand was that since Qing Yun had known about it for a long time, why would he still use Hanxin No. 3 to make the chip for his Yanhuang Group's MP?
And why does he still want to worship himself as his teacher?

Cheng Jin couldn't figure it out.

The CPU was directly dry and smoking.

Qing Yun shrugged his shoulders, "Teacher, guess...why I didn't expose you when I first found out, but chose this time instead?"

Cheng Jin shook his head and chose not to guess.

He didn't expect it at all.

Qing Yun clicked on the expert appraisal report of Hanxin No. 1, and then said helplessly, "Influence."

He spread his hands and smiled bitterly at Cheng Jin, "Exposing you is a small matter, but what about these academicians who were deceived by you and endorsed you? Your reputation has been ruined for a lifetime."
