Please make money.

After all, with a budget of 100 million in hand, I have to learn how to spend money, which is a happy thing in a sense...

"We need a team! The young lady wants to bring some people to inspect a project - we need a group of people from our programming team!"

To inspect a project? You brought someone wearing a suit to inspect a project, why did you bring someone wearing a plaid shirt?

Jin Fan was confused and was thinking about something when he was called by Brother Sun.

"No, Brother Sun, I'm still revising the code..."

"What do you want to change? She's the eldest lady!"

"...So?" Jin Fan paused for half a second, then uttered two words, with a look of confusion on his face.

"...You ask me why?" Brother Sun held back for a second, resisting the urge to hit this idiot.

This gives you the opportunity to improve your impression points in front of your boss, and you are still here, so - do you want to make progress?

So Jin Fan followed Brother Sun in a daze and was stuffed into the King Long bus. The two buses of people went to a research institute in a mighty manner.

……

“The environment is nice.”

Alia got off the car, still wearing the same customer service uniform and without changing her ID card.

On the left side of the customer service representative is Mr. Ai, the CEO of the consumer electronics department, and on the right side is Mr. Lei, the CEO of the financial insurance department, the two most important generals.

The guide holding the small red flag looked left and right, a little confused. You said you wanted to bypass the two managers behind the receptionist, but that didn't seem right.

What's going on? No, isn't this a bit wrong?

As I was watching, I heard a burst of laughter behind me, the authentic laughter of gangsters. They started to greet each other from thirty meters away to see who could laugh loudest.

All masters from famous and upright sects do this, otherwise they cannot show their chivalrous spirit.

Yu Dapao and another middle-aged man who looked a little decadent came out together.

"Boss Lei, Boss Ai, we are honored to have you here!"

You can tell the meaning by looking at the order. It is obvious that they don't think that the young Xiao Ai is always in the lead, and they are afraid that Prime Minister Lei is still the main one.

President Lei smiled, walked over to greet a few people, and then extended his hand: "This is our new CEO of the consumer electronics department, President Ai Lijing."

Sister Jing shook hands with the two men modestly: "I have heard of you for a long time."

"Nice to meet you……"

"This person is from our group..."

"Intern in the customer service department of home appliance after-sales department." Alia took the initiative to extend her hand: "Hello, my name is Alia."

Yu Dapao was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. Alia - isn't this the eldest daughter of the Ai Group?

On the contrary, the person behind him paused and couldn't figure out what it was - intern? Customer service?

Fortunately, Prime Minister Lei smoothed things over: "Miss Ai is the largest shareholder of our group, with absolute control, and has not yet taken the initiative to request a board meeting to change positions."

In other words, if Alia wanted, she could call the shareholders to a meeting with just one phone call and then get the position of chairman herself.

Oh...I see...

The two old foxes looked at each other and understood that this was the little guy who was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

However, absolute control is no joke. The Ai Group is not listed and does not raise funds, but it has a strong industrial foundation and its financial and insurance businesses are booming.

The valuation of 2000 billion may be a bit inflated, but it won't be a problem to squeeze out to billion, as they have real money.

More importantly, the equity structure of the Ai Group is extremely clear and simple. Unless the guy with absolute control of the shares goes crazy and commits suicide, there is absolutely no room for any wrangling. Such an easily divisible internal structure can even be regarded as an example of an instruction manual - which family business is not a mess?

All we can say is that Ai Rulong was very capable at the beginning, and coupled with the perfect management in the later period, if that person had not "disappeared", he might have become another dragon crossing the river now.

Oh, he was also a dragon crossing the river, so it’s okay…

Yu Dapao shook hands with Alia and was about to speak, but he saw Alia looking at the person behind him curiously.

"Excuse me, what's your last name? Mr. Ren?"

"...My last name is Meng." The other party responded doubtfully: "Do I look a lot like someone Miss Ai knows?"

"Very similar - very similar!" Alia even suspected that it was some kind of homologue.

However, considering that things were not all smooth sailing at the beginning and there were countless setbacks along the way, then perhaps my great spending strategy still has its place.

Of course, she is not interested in supporting enterprises, what she wants is to support technology.

Especially those major undertakings that cost a lot of money, have a slow payback period, a long cycle, and a wide coverage - most importantly, they are major undertakings that benefit the country and the people!

If we can cultivate talents, we will cultivate them; if we can accumulate experience, we will accumulate experience; if we can promote the upgrading of the industrial chain, we will promote it.

It would be best if the Ai Group's entity could bloom into a gorgeous flower. In the future, when people mention the Ai Group, they will give it a thumbs up and say that it is as timely as Mengchang of the Whampoa Military Academy, but anyway, the Ai Group itself has nothing to do with it.

Well, the last two companies of this style were Sina in the Internet industry and ZTE in the semiconductor industry...

Although her thoughts were in a mess, Alia was still very enthusiastic: "Let's talk in detail. I came here today to discuss cooperation."

Yu Dapao and Mr. Meng stopped talking again - have you seen this style - I don’t have you - I don’t have it either.

Young people just can't keep their cool. They talk about cooperation as soon as they get here. How can that be possible?

Alas, I still can't hold out too much hope...

……

……

“Our entire research institute is actually built in European style. It’s a whole complex of buildings.”

It is called a research institute, but it has great ambitions and should be more accurately described as a large scientific research complex.

Ailia had checked this area and found out that it was a village in the suburbs of Tianhai City. The whole area was built with buildings and connected by a special train.

It is said that the original plan was to build 12 towns, but currently there is only money to build 3, and the rest are all idle with only drawings left.

Alia looked at the renderings, Luxembourg, Bruges, Paris, Verona, Heidelberg, Kronovo...

To be honest, the aesthetics are a bit confusing, more like a European resort than a research institute.

In Alia's impression, the research institute should be more modern and sci-fi, but it is obvious that Mr. Meng does not think so.

"Lao Meng used to make information and communication equipment. Many of the underlying equipment for the information and communication networks we commonly use today were made by Lao Meng and his team."

Yu Dapao looked at the park with deep affection: "At the beginning, we didn't believe in evil, and we didn't believe that these things couldn't be made. We could monopolize them all abroad, so we invested in this research area on impulse. Facts have proved that it really paid off, but later..."

But then I took too big a step and it hit my balls.

Things like communication equipment and network infrastructure are not really on the same level as more basic semiconductor chips.

This is just like applied mathematics and theoretical mathematics. If you can't handle it, you really can't handle it. The domestic semiconductor industry is in dire straits. Everyone is scrambling to grab land and build industrial parks. Who cares about technology...

Alia understood as soon as she heard it - you guys were grabbing this piece of land for the land, right?

As if he had noticed Alia's gaze, Yu Dapao couldn't help but smirk: "Back then... well, when we were developing it, it was easier to get a loan this way..."

If you say you want to work on the unfathomable world of semiconductors or other science and engineering technologies, the bank will not want to pay attention to you.

But if you want to buy land and build a villa - come on! Let's have fun together! I have money here, you can spend it first!

Perhaps in order to please the original investors, the construction of the complex was indeed very careful.

The mortar walls show a very European style, and the castle on the hill is connected to the grid of blocks below.

This research area, named Verona District, is based on the medieval ancient city and restores the landscape waterways to the blocks, a one-to-one replica.

Alia also took some time to take a photo of the unique ancient tower, the beautiful square, and the winding cobblestone street - hey! I went abroad!

What? Where is this? There's no gun pointed at my head, so it's definitely not North America!

Everyone got on the train and the employees were very excited and happy, but Sister Jing keenly noticed that her sister's expression was a little hesitant.

Yu Dapao was still introducing the scenery. Girls, you should like this style, right? Say more good things about it.

"We have many castle-like buildings and large areas of green space. Working here is like traveling around the world. Look at the French style over there. We hired a French designer to customize the unique bay windows and beige limestone, which are a combination of romantic Baroque and Rococo styles..."

Ailia hummed absentmindedly, and Sister Jing tugged at Lei Fan: "Boss Lei, my sister..."

Prime Minister Lei was still as calm and handsome as ever: "The eldest lady has her own plans, what do you think, second young master?"

"…What do you think?"

“For this institute.”

“Uh——” Young Master Jing said that until now I couldn’t even see what their research institute was doing, I could only see the land.

In fact, it was not only Young Master Jing who had this idea. Even Mr. Meng was beginning to get impatient.

He knew what Yu Dapao meant. This piece of land was so good that even if the investment in the research institute suffered losses, there was still land to cover the losses.

The Ai Group can spend money with its eyes closed without even looking at the research content. If there is profit, everyone will share it together. If there is a loss, you can use the place to build a resort. How great!

But he also has something to say. He is a good boss, but he doesn't want to be the boss anymore. He is paying money to do research and development. Is he raising money to make back his investment? He wants to make a comeback!

Old Yu, you just threw out all our secrets as soon as you came. What capital do we have to talk about things in the future?

Just as she was thinking about it, Alia looked at her watch and said, "Mr. Yu, we don't need to find another place. Let's just talk about other things here."

Mr. Yu, who was talking about how the green mountains and clear waters here are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver, was stunned. What else should we talk about? What else?

"Boss Lei told me that if you join the Ai Group, you will need my support for a 30 billion yuan backstop project. Is that right?"

Yu Dapao glanced at Lei Fan, who smiled politely and said, "I sorted out what you said before, Mr. Yu. The young lady is very interested."

Yu Dapao was a little unsure about what Lei Fan meant - do you support it or not?

In his opinion, Lei Fan was in charge of the financial power and held a high position of power, so he was either a prime minister or a regent.

Even if an 18-year-old girl like Alia is good at playing the pig and eating the tiger, she still has to consult Lei Fan's opinion, right?

But what he didn't know was that Prime Minister Lei was a loyal minister, a die-hard one, who put the eldest daughter first and the Ai Group second.

In other words, he believed that the real effort of Ai Rulong and his wife was Alia, not the Ai Group.

As for spending money, it’s up to Alia to decide how to spend it. If he loses it, he can just work harder to earn more.

After all, the family assets are still there. If it is difficult to make money these days, there will be no easy things...

"What exactly is the East Suburbs Research Institute researching?"

Alia looked at the buildings that were humming past outside the train. The train was divided into several sections. They were at the front of the train while the employees were laughing foolishly at the back.

But she is here to spend money, not to have fun. You show me the land, but I am not dealing with GDP - can you please add some drama?

"We established the Dongjiao Research Institute three years ago, which is mainly dedicated to the future of the Internet, especially the Internet of Everything, to promote technological innovation in the intelligence, electrification and sharing of future consumer products, as well as some cloud computing and big data technologies, and reserve technologies for application scenarios for intelligent connected electric vehicles."

"I don't understand." Alia looked at him: "I just have one question - semiconductors, are you guys doing it?"

Yu Dapao pursed his lips, a little uncomfortable with this kind of straightforwardness.

"...Fuck!" Mr. Meng behind him poked his head out and said, "But Miss Ai, do you know how deep the water of semiconductors is?"

How deep? Alia smiled immediately, a complicated smile, with eyes that contained seven parts of nostalgia, three parts of tribute, eighty-eight parts of reluctance, and two parts of teasing.

Do you understand the percentage system? - I don't understand the percentage system, but you can always understand the Hundred Thousand Years Spirit Ring Skill "Mother's Entanglement" - Do you know what my father was doing before he disappeared?

She raised her head: "My father is Ai Rulong - my mother is Lu Wuxia!"

"..."

……

……

"We are very sorry about what happened to Mr. Ai."

Yu Dapao felt sincerely regretful. Regardless of Ai Rulong's reputation in the business world, those who were engaged in business understood his courage.

In the conference room, only Alia, Jing Ershao, and Lei Fan were sitting on one side, and on the other side were Yu Dapao, Mr. Meng, and the director of a laboratory.

Alia finally saw what she wanted to see. The 30 billion project was condensed into 30 pages, bound into a book, and placed in front of her.

That’s right!

What's the point of looking at European-style resorts and eastern suburbs land? They're boring.

Turning over the booklet, each page of which contained a billion-dollar investment, Alia's eyes lit up more and more.

Semiconductor is a general term. If we calculate based on the basic concept of semiconductors, the industry would be huge enough.
