Chapter 951: Righteous Ma Baocai

Qing Yun heard this and nodded without hiding anything.

"We have all the materials except for a legal due diligence report. I don't believe you would make the mistake of missing such an essential document."

At this point, he sneered, "Before coming here, I didn't believe that Zhu Baolin and Ji Keliang, two former traders in America with no experience in semiconductor production and research and development, could have the ability to do something as high-end as hard drives.

Therefore, in my opinion, the two of them are most likely just setting up a scheme, and they are still doing the business of profiteering, except that the goods have been replaced by technology.

But I don’t know the details, and I’m not sure how big of a problem it is.”

Ma Baocai sighed when he heard this, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and heaviness.

The young chairman in front of me...

He is a sensible person.

Ma Baocai now knew very well that this conversation would be a difficult confession and also a gamble on his future destiny.

Whether it is Guizhou Province or him personally.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye should have been able to see the problems with the entire Southern Huitong Shihua project long ago.

The semiconductor industry, a highly competitive and technology-intensive field worldwide, usually chooses regions with a strong electronic industry foundation, a complete supply chain, and abundant talent resources as its development base.

In China, people generally choose Yanjing, Huating and Pengcheng, which not only have a mature electronic industry chain, but also have strong R&D capabilities and market potential.

Even if you choose Chang'an, Jincheng, or Jiangcheng, these places have their own geographical, talent, and policy advantages.

However, the micro hard disk project of Southern Huitong Shihua was settled in Guizhou Province, located in the southwestern border, which in itself is a huge question mark.

When it comes to policies and efforts to attract investment, all regions are actually similar, with no essential differences.

Guizhou Province not only has no advantages in this regard, but also has many disadvantages.

Insufficient infrastructure, serious talent loss, small market and high logistics costs, each of these problems may become a bottleneck restricting the development of the project.

We chose a place that is almost blank in the field of electronic industry, lacking necessary industrial supporting facilities and technical support, lacking abundant talents in related industries, lacking mature supply chain system, and lacking perfect logistics and market environment...

Launching a high-end semiconductor project here is undoubtedly a high-risk gamble.

No one would do this except an idiot.

At its core, this is a huge question.

Ma Baocai shook his head, smiled bitterly, and began to speak.
"Mr. Xiaoqing, the micro hard disk project is of great significance to Guizhou Province. It is not only related to the transformation of the local economy, but also to whether Guizhou Province can occupy a place in the high-tech field.

There is no doubt that the project itself is good and the technology is advanced. In fact, we have made the investment advice report seriously.

As you said, this is a scam project, the biggest problem is..."

Qing Yun stared at Ma Baocai, waiting for him to continue.

Ma Baocai took a deep breath and said slowly, "The problem is, the intellectual property rights..."

What Ma Baocai said was the same information Qingyun knew in her previous life.

In fact, the Guizhou Province was aware of the situation, and people within the province had reminded people about the intellectual property rights issue.

But just like when the TV production lines were being tested in various provinces, a tacit consensus was reached throughout Guizhou Province - start the project first and talk later.

After Embrace the World experienced more than two years of intellectual property disputes, everyone has actually figured out that intellectual property disputes are not terrible, and in the end it is nothing more than a matter of licensing fees.

It’s just that due to the rationality and compliance of state-owned funds, it cannot be put on the table.

After hearing this, Qing Yun rubbed his brows and sighed, "Director Ma, I think the best way is to find and solve the problem. You shouldn't continue to hide it, what do you think?"

Ma Baocai's bitter smile and helplessness, like the sky outside the window where dark clouds gathered and gradually darkened, foreshadowed the coming storm.

He smiled bitterly, "Mr. Xiaoqing, how can this be easy? This is a dilemma.

If the intellectual property rights dispute breaks out when the project is established, the project will definitely be ruined, and Guizhou Province will miss an opportunity for leapfrog development;
But if it were to be exposed now, it might turn into a huge storm sweeping across the public service system of Guizhou Province.

Mr. Xiaoqing, for Guizhou Province, this project is not only an economic project, but also a political task and a social responsibility.

The only way for us is to keep going forward. There is no turning back."

Ma Baocai is well aware that the project has involved too many stakeholders, including investors, employees, and local governments.

Once the problem is exposed, it may trigger a series of chain reactions, causing the project to stagnate or even fail completely.

At the same time, it may also involve a series of accountability investigations, forming a so-called big storm, which will bring tremendous pressure and negative impacts to local governments and enterprises.

Continuing to push forward the project is like walking on a tightrope; any misstep could lead to falling into the abyss.

But stopping means admitting failure and giving up all the resources and efforts that have been invested.

Qing Yun stared at Ma Baocai. He could hear the helplessness and anxiety in the other's words.

But... he sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Maybe you can tell the audit and discipline inspection department that you were all deceived and put all the blame on Zhu Baolin."

Ha ha!

And you're threatening him?!

There is no turning back for Guizhou Province, so do I have to be tolerant?

What kind of logic is this?

Ma Baocai's face turned pale when he heard this. He felt that Qing Yun's words were not only too blunt but also too ironic.

You don’t want people with a science background to be cadres, right?
Ma Baocai clenched his fists and placed them on his knees, the veins on his neck throbbing, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger.

His eyes were shining with determination, and every word he said was like a hammer.

"Mr. Xiaoqing, please understand that the people of Guizhou Province have no selfish motives in this project!
What we want is a project that can drive economic development. On this issue, no one in Guizhou Province has considered their personal future. "

Qing Yun sneered, "Director Ma, you are treating me like a child, right?
With your logic...it's impossible that anything could happen to a single person!

I understand collective decision-making!"

Just kidding!
Colleges and universities are also part of the system, so he has seen a lot of collective decision-making!
Ma Baocai looked at him fearlessly. He straightened his back, his figure like an unshakable mountain, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice,
"Boss Xiaoqing, you are judging others by your own standards!
The micro hard drive project is a good project, but it has flaws!

And this flaw is not allowed by the current rules, that's all.

This project is the hope for the transformation and development of Guizhou Province!
You can report the problem to your superiors. At worst, I will give up the title of Ma Baocai! I will take the blame!
I, Ma Baocai, have used my own future to exchange for this project that will benefit the present and future generations. It’s worth it!”

At this moment, Ma Baocai's figure appeared particularly tall, and his every movement and expression spoke of his determination and bravery.

As if he has transformed into a guardian, he is guarding the future and hope of Guizhou Province.

There is a sense of tragedy in Ma Baocai's words, as if he is a soldier about to go to the battlefield, knowing that the road ahead is dangerous, but still determined to go forward.

His face was full of determination and his eyes sparkled with infinite longing for the future of Guizhou Province. Even in the face of possible sacrifice, he did not hesitate or retreat at all.

A burst of applause broke out at an inopportune moment.

"hehe!"

Emperor Yun took back his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and glanced at him, "Director Ma, you like to act so much, right? Is it interesting? There are only you and me here, no other audience."

Having said this, Qing Yun burst into laughter, and the laughter with a bit of mockery and disdain echoed in the reception room, and also made the righteous Ma Baocai's face change again and again.

After laughing, Emperor Yun waved his hand to stop Ma Baocai from saying anything, and then he started to speak jokingly.

"Mr. Ma, please stop acting. This scene is too exaggerated.

Others may be fooled by your tricks, but don’t forget that I, Qingyun, am an entrepreneur!
And when it comes to capital operation, I am not a rookie, right? I am somewhat well-known in the capital market, right?

So don't you think this trick is an insult to me in front of me?

Do you think I'm too young, or what?"

Having said this, he looked at Ma Baocai steadily, his eyes revealing a sharp scrutiny.

Ma Baocai's expression changed instantly, and the indignation on his face disappeared completely.

Qing Yun's words were like a sharp scalpel, directly cutting through all his disguise.

At this time, the young man in front of him continued to say coldly, "Director Ma, don't bet on my temper!

Once I report the problem, this project will die because you have no money to continue!

The registered capital is 1000 million yuan, but it is estimated that there is less than million yuan left in the account now, which means that the registered capital is just enough to complete the work of building the factory and the production line.

This also shows one thing, that you have a very clear idea of ​​how much money this project will cost, otherwise it would not be so just right.

The amount of funds required for subsequent projects is in the order of tens or even hundreds of billions, which your Guizhou Province simply cannot afford now.

So, you need matching funds from the state.

And the matching funds are just a cover.

What’s important is that with the matching funds from the state, it means that the state is endorsing your project.

After that, you can cooperate with Zhu Baolin to find commercial banks for loans, which is the bulk of the project operating funds.

At the same time, after obtaining the matching funds, the state can be considered to have invested in this project.

When intellectual property disputes break out, the ministries and commissions that signed the agreement will have no choice but to come out and support you.

Mr. Ma, am I right?"
