Chapter 563: The Air is Filled with the Smell of Money

"How does it feel at Dongxin Semiconductor?"

On the car to Pingyang University, Li Dongling asked Lin Benjian.

The chip production base project of Dongxin Semiconductor has not been determined yet. Lin Benjian is mainly doing preliminary preparation work, recruiting people, and forming a professional chip production team.

"Not bad!"

Lin Benjian said without hesitation, "The current Dongxin Semiconductor makes me see Intel from more than ten years ago!"

"At that time, Intel didn't have today's strength, but Intel had a group of engineers who wanted to create epoch-making chips, and in the end, they did it!"

Comparing reserves of technology, patents, and R&D equipment, to be honest, Dongxin Semiconductor can only be considered a second or third-rate chip manufacturer in Lin Benjian's eyes.

But the atmosphere of Dongxin Semiconductor, and every department, all personnel from top to bottom, are holding back their energy, wanting to develop chips and lithography machines with real computer prices. That kind of fighting spirit is something Lin Benjian hasn't seen in America for a long time.

The chip industry in the country is not prosperous now, but it doesn't mean that there are no people in the country who want to do something in the chip industry.

Otherwise, in his past life, domestic chips wouldn't have been able to rebuild a near-complete chip industrial chain in the ruins amidst a chorus of scolding.

After lithography machine manufacturers like ASML banned the sale of lithography machines to the country, the country also produced lithography machines with processes below 7 nanometers.

This shows that the country has never lacked genius engineers in the chip industry, but it needs an environment. When the entire industry is rotten, geniuses are destined to be buried.

You know, processors and graphics cards, as well as the related Internet industry, are industries ruled by Chinese!

No matter what Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, Nvidia, TSMC, Facebook, Amazon, etc., their R&D engineers and programmers are all supported by Chinese.

At critical moments, the ones who overcame difficulties and saved these companies were also Chinese engineers.

As long as a platform is built and sufficient R&D funding is provided, the domestic chip industry will emerge with a large wave of genius engineers, and domestic chips will also have the opportunity to compete with manufacturers like Intel!

"Walden International has sent news that Walden International President Chen Liwu will arrive in Hanxi in the near future!"

The chip production base of Dongxin Semiconductor requires an investment of more than 400 million US dollars, and it is a cash investment. Relying solely on Dongling Gao Ke and Hanxi State Investment to gnaw on this hard bone is a bit strenuous.

Especially, in order to deal with Soros coming to Southeast Asia to make trouble next year, the cash flow in Dongling Gao Ke's hands cannot be easily moved.

Building a chip production base not only requires funds but also overseas technology, equipment, engineers, etc. Finding a helper to invest in the Dongxin chip production base would be much more convenient.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Lin Benjian nodded. "If Old Chen can invest in Dongxin's chip production base, the project can start immediately!"

Walden International is an old gun in the investment industry and has also invested in numerous chip companies. If it enters the market, it can bring various resources urgently needed by Dongxin.

"Tao Yan, wait for me!"

Tao Yan just carried her bag and walked out of the dormitory building when a voice came out.

"Why are you walking so fast!"

Jiang Suyi chased up panting, looked at her watch. "What time is it? You are rushing to the auditorium. Is an opening ceremony really that big of a deal?"

Tao Yan is the daughter of Tao Zhiliang, the supervisor of the production department of Dongling Gao Ke Electronic Industrial Park. She was admitted to Pingyang University this year.

Looking at Jiang Suyi, a little sister from another province who became friends after entering Pingyang University, Tao Yan shook her head. "You will know when you get there!"

"Yanzi, to be honest, the environment of our school is much better than I thought. Before I came, I never thought it could be this good!"

The two walked in Pingyang University. Jiang Suyi and the others, who had been in military training for a while, hadn't had time to finish visiting the school.

The intensity of military training at Pingyang University was quite high. They specifically invited instructors to train the freshmen and completely handed them over to these people.

Although Shen Qingyuan reached out for funding everywhere, he was a solid old-school educator. He clearly knew the importance of funding for a university, but the school spirit was even more important.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like the Harbin Institute of Technology, which cooperated with Pingyang University to build the electrical major, with such strict management, and the class and work schedule blowing horns, but Shen Qingyuan still grasped the school spirit and style of Pingyang University.

Otherwise, spending so much funding to build teaching buildings and teaching equipment, and the people who came in were just messing around inside for a few years, sleeping every day, and after graduation, they didn't learn anything, then Shen Qingyuan felt that the money he asked for was spent too unjustly. He didn't want Pingyang University to be ruined in his hands!

Although Pingyang University trained male and female freshmen separately, and the one who trained Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi was a female instructor, those who had seen female instructors train new recruits knew that when they really trained, female instructors were really ruthless. Being women themselves, they wouldn't pity the jade.

Especially when they scolded people, men would blush when they heard it. It was called desensitization training. Enemies scolding would be much fiercer than this. However, to be honest, after being scolded by the instructor, listening to others scolding, their hearts were calm, feeling that the scolding was too elegant...

Anyway, after this military training, Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi didn't know what the situation was on the boys' side, but they were trained to peel off a layer of skin. A few days ago, they also fired a few live bullets. This was the first time Jiang Suyi and the others touched a real gun since they were young.

I don't know if it was an illusion or a psychological reason, although they were exhausted these few days and stuck to the bed every day, Tao Yan and the others felt that they didn't seem to be that weak.

The two walked in Pingyang University. Looking at the Pingyang University in front of them, the entire Pingyang University was greened, and the old buildings were also maintained and renovated inside and out. Now there was no sense of dilapidation, but instead felt a bit more historical heritage. This... is the magic of the power of money.

Without money to maintain and renovate, it is broken and rotten. With money to renovate, it is full of traces of time, but it is still fresh. It makes people feel the profound cultural heritage of this university.

Except for some buildings that looked like they had been around for many years, Pingyang University also had a modern stadium track donated by Dongling Gao Ke, a library donated by Feiyan Technology, and basketball courts and other facilities.

These things were scarce in domestic universities, and many famous universities hadn't built them yet, but Pingyang University had already started using them. Could Jiang Suyi and the others feel bad?

As for the computer building, a group of teaching buildings, libraries, cafeterias, and dormitories were all connected to air conditioning and heating. If you are not polite, put it in all universities in Hanxi, these are unique.

The computer building of Pingyang University was connected to the Internet, with a full 500 machines. Except for teaching, it would also be open to students for free during specified times. You only need to apply, and each person can apply for 1.5 hours of usage time per day.

It was just that under normal circumstances, you need to queue, because there are too many people applying to use computers. However, Shen Qingyuan was preparing to add a batch of machines in the near future, which could ensure that every student at Pingyang University could touch a computer at least two or three times a week.

Because Mr. Li told him before that the future is the era of the Internet, Shen Qingyuan was unwilling to let the people of Pingyang University miss the opportunity of the Internet!

This was the first time for many people, including Jiang Suyi, to touch a computer in a textbook, and the first time to learn typing.

As for how to use these computers, that was a different choice. Some people used it to practice programming and learn office equipment, and some were just purely for entertainment, playing stand-alone games, browsing Tianya, Yinghaiwei, and BBS forums to brag and irrigate.

Maybe, you can't see the difference at the beginning, but after half a year or a year, different people use computers in different ways, and there will be a difference.

How many families in the country have installed computers now, and how many families can use air conditioning for a whole summer and turn on heating in winter? Shen Qingyuan had already lowered his face and provided the best conditions for Pingyang University.

Tao Yan and Jiang Suyi, if they continue their studies, read for graduate students and PhDs, and go to other universities, they will know the "gold" content of Pingyang University.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Pingyang University is full of a smell, which is the smell left by the burning of RMB. The air is full of the thick smell of money!

"So many people?"

Coming outside the auditorium, seeing the scene of "people mountain and people sea," Jiang Suyi was dumbfounded. She felt that she and Tao Yan had arrived early enough, but how did they come here, as if they were late.

"That's not from our school, right!"

"Are there people from Hanxi Jiaoda running over?"

"Is that someone from Xigongda?"

Jiang Su Yan looked at the people before her; many were still wearing the uniforms of other universities, clearly having rushed over from other places. One had to know that Hanxi Jiaoda was in the provincial capital, yet they had run all the way to Pingyang University to attend this opening ceremony, which made her brain stall a little.

"Because he will give a speech here today, and there will be leaders from the city coming later!" Tao Yan said to Jiang Suyi.

"He?"

Seeing Jiang Suyi's ignorant expression, Tao Yan said directly, "Li Dongling, the founder of Dongling Gao Ke!"

"Now Pingyang University provides free tuition, free accommodation, free meals, and can also get the Qilin Scholarship, all because of him!"

When mentioning Dongling Gao Ke, Tao Yan might not have discovered it herself, but her tone was full of pride. To a certain extent, she was also a member of the families of Dongling Gao Ke employees!

With her father Tao Zhiliang there, Tao Yan had heard some inside information. She knew where the generous conditions provided by Pingyang University for students came from.

Of course, as a local in Pingyang, Tao Yan could also enjoy these treatments. Even after Tao Yan was admitted to Pingyang University, the production department of Dongling Gao Ke rewarded her father Tao Zhiliang with 5,000 yuan at one time as Tao Yan's tuition and living expenses for university.

This is a reward only for being admitted to a domestic public university. There is no reward for private universities and overseas study, because this is two completely different meanings.

Not only Tao Zhiliang, but other children of Dongling Gao Ke employees also had such treatment. Even, if the tuition was not enough, they could overdraw their wages from Dongling Gao Ke in advance.

But under normal circumstances, the children and relatives of Dongling Gao Ke employees could more or less get the Qilin Scholarship after being admitted to university, but if they spent money lavishly, then how much money would not be enough.

Jiang Suyi listened in surprise. She only knew now where these treatments she received came from! ===== CHAPTER 564 =====
