Chapter 237 [Picking peaches? 】

What Gu Cheng said caught the two old professors off guard.

Xiao Pan, who was standing on the side, complained silently in his heart: Evil capitalism, this Bobby pretended not only with details in it, but also blatantly.

In his eyes, co-authoring a huge amount of hundreds of millions of dollars is just a small amount of money?
As expected of the gold master's father...

After a while, Gu Cheng said concisely: "I agree with this project."

After the two old physicists were stunned for a while, they couldn't help but blushed with excitement when they realized it. Song Bojun couldn't help asking: "Mr. Gu, don't you need a jury for a project with such a large budget?" ?”

Why didn't even go through a procedure for such a large funding allocation?Just call?It's not what he thought.

Xiao Pan couldn't help but murmured weakly in Song Bojun's ear: "Professor Song, Mr. Gu is the boss of Tianqing Company. It can be said that the money belongs to him. As long as he nods, it will be more important than any jury." Works."

Song Bojun, who was excited for a while, finally realized it.

And Gu Cheng said with a smile: "It has already passed the review. My Tianqing Science Foundation has decided to fully fund the project. The funds will be allocated in stages. The first stage will be 12.7 billion; the subsequent 6 million will be transferred to the account of this project as scheduled. Come on, what do you two think?"

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Wu Yueliang was full of excitement, and thanked again and again: "Thank you so much for your support to the cause of science, thank you so much!"

The trip of the two physicists was actually quite uneasy, but they did not expect such an unexpected success. They never expected that the project plan that had been on their minds would solve the huge funding problem here. Cheng's favorability soared.

The two sides chatted for a while before ending the meeting, and the space gravitational wave detection project was decided to be named "Tianqing Project", which was unanimously agreed by the two physicists. In addition, the greatest gratitude is undoubtedly the results.

Gu Cheng did not object to the naming. After seeing off the two physicists, he came to the chairman's office in the new headquarters. It was much larger than the previous office, simple and elegant.

After a while, the supervisor of the evaluation system of Tianqing Science Foundation came to report some problems in the application and approval of scientific research projects.

"Mr. Gu, after the establishment of the foundation, funds from universities and scientific research institutions all over the country have come in one after another."

It's no wonder that such a wealthy father is not active, not only in China, because Tianqing Science Foundation has an international cooperation plan, and overseas scientific research institutions or scientific researchers have related calls for consultation, mainly in Europe.

Gu Cheng took the material report handed over by the other party and read it roughly.

Electrical and mechanical applications of defective two-dimensional materials at the nanoscale;
Computer simulation and optimal control of satellite orbits;
Machine learning, deep learning algorithms;
Tang poetry big data analysis and automatic creation;

Accurate recommendation system based on big data analysis;

Application to predict the risk of credit card violations;

Smart tourism analysis based on data science;
Fintech based on data science;

Research on the regulation of nuclear transcription factors on the function of metabolic organs...

Gu Cheng put down the information report halfway through reading it, and said with a frown, "What is it all about? 60% of it is related to big data analysis, such as data science and financial technology, hehe, it's asking for 1000 million funds , How many of the hundreds of project topics are related to basic scientific research? 80% of them have nothing to do with basic scientific research.”

Facing Gu Cheng's stare, although he is very young, the supervisor of the evaluation system felt inexplicably pressured, and said repeatedly: "What Mr. Gu criticized is, but because the Tianqing Science Foundation has just been established and there is an urgent need for professional Excellent judges, but we will improve the review team system as soon as possible."

Gu Cheng's frown gradually relaxed. This reason is still plausible, but he reminded: "I said the ugly words first, and I can easily investigate every penny that the foundation spends. It still goes into personal pockets, we all know that in the 5G era, in the era of streaking, there is no way to keep things hidden."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The supervisor of the evaluation system nodded again and again, sweating in his heart, and kept reminding himself that he worked in a high-tech company. He had also seen the power of the intelligent system inside Tianqing Technology, and firmly believed that it was absolutely What the eye sees is stronger.

"However, you are also right. The foundation has only been established for a few days, and some mistakes in the early stage are allowed, but I want to see real improvements. Accountability procedures are also necessary, and the foundation will continue to improve its operations one after another. Mechanism." Gu Chengru said, he is not the kind of harsh person, he still needs to seek truth from facts, otherwise it will be counterproductive, forcing people in the management to go astray in order to meet the demanding targets of the boss.

More than 400 project topics that have been applied have undergone a new round of screening, 80% of which have been rejected, and project topics in the field of basic scientific research and the world's most cutting-edge technology have remained. A total of 92 projects have passed the preliminary review.

Among them, 22 projects have been directly reviewed and can enter the appropriation process. The largest project is Wu Yueliang's "Tianqing Project". The first phase of the appropriation is 12.7 billion. The remaining 21 projects are relatively lower in funding requirements. , the total funding adds up to 1.8 million, and the initial allocation of 22 project topics is 14.5 billion.

In the afternoon, just after Gu Cheng came to the company, Qiu Shiming came to him.

"Mr. Gu, I just received people from the Natural Science Foundation of China."

In the office, Gu Cheng frowned when he heard it, and smiled lightly: "The action is quite fast."

Qiu Shiming: "Haha, the company injects 2000 billion yuan into the Tianqing Science Foundation every year. It's such a big game, how can you not be happy? People from the Natural Science Foundation originally wanted to see you, but I lied for you and said that you Recently, leading the technical team is busy researching and overcoming difficulties, and is at a critical stage."

Hearing Lao Qiu's teasing, Gu Cheng couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, saying, "How do you say it?"

Qiu Shiming said in a deep voice: "Seeing our funding for basic scientific research, the Natural Science Foundation boasted a lot. The real intention is to suggest that the two sides cooperate in depth and optimize resource allocation. The other party said that if the Tianqing Science Foundation is established, it will be like this." Large investment and independent operation will result in a huge waste of resource duplication, simply put, it is completely unnecessary, and it is recommended to be merged into the unified management of the Natural Science Foundation.”

Hearing this, Gu Cheng said indifferently: "It seems very reasonable..."

Qiu Shiming: "Mr. Gu, what are your plans for this?"

Without even thinking about it, Gu Cheng replied concisely: "Please decline."

The company’s money does not come from strong winds. Half of the profits are used to fund national basic scientific research every year. This money is a subsidy, not a donation. It has to go through the Natural Fund. How to use the money you earn has to be discussed with others. ?
If so, Gu Cheng would rather put the money back into the safe to rot, or let Xiaoqing take the money and go to the international foreign exchange market to play hedging with those big crocodiles.

There are all kinds of birds in the forest, and it is hard to find people who give charcoal in the snow. There is never a shortage of people who reach out to pick peaches. This kind of behavior makes Gu Cheng very disgusted.

Qiu Shiming said hesitantly: "Would you like to decline... Then do you want to donate an extra sum of money to the Natural Fund?"

Gu Cheng could hear some considerations from Lao Qiu, but he rejected the suggestion without hesitation: "No, I won't give up on this issue. You can get rid of people by giving one or two hundred million this time, and there will be no one next time." If you don’t have 20 billion, you won’t be happy, and next time you don’t have 200 billion, you won’t be happy. In the end, if you stop, you will feel that you are too much, and you will not miss you after paying the money. People are not old, and it has always been like this. Everyone plays their own way, and I'm not a nice guy."

Hearing what he said, Qiu Shiming nodded and had nothing to say.

Gu Cheng is also an influential boss now, and his energy is really not something that the Natural Fund dares to offend.

Taking a step back, the Natural Science Foundation did not dare to do anything, because it could not bear the responsibility of cutting off the Tianqing Science Foundation in Gu Cheng's anger.

Finally, there is a super-rich man who spends 2000 billion yuan a year to fund basic scientific research at any cost. This amount is more than half of the total funds allocated by the state, and additional funding may be injected in the future.

If because of this matter, Gu Cheng would not invest a penny, stop running this science foundation, quit, the entire academic world will hate the people of the Natural Science Foundation, and if he is held accountable, he may not even be able to keep his job. .
