Chapter 150 Digging a hole for yourself

Author: Crow One

Industry-university-research is also a very old topic. China has allocated a lot of scientific research funds to universities from the 863 plan to other key special plans.

It's not a small amount from a percentage point of view.

Although there are some opinions on the Chinese Internet that the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of Chinese universities does not have much technical content and transformation value.

In fact, China's ability to achieve breakthroughs in manufacturing is inseparable from the transformation of scientific research results from these universities.

It can be said that the conversion efficiency in the middle is poor, the fund utilization efficiency is poor, and a lot of funds are wasted in meaningless places. There are a lot of areas that can be optimized in this project application mechanism, and there is no problem.

Take China's new energy industry as an example. In 2001, the Ministry of Science and Technology launched a major special plan for electric vehicles. At that time, it was decided to develop fuel cell electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, and implement the "three-level plan" for the development of new energy vehicles.

The technical route of "vertical and three horizontal".

The plan was broken down into subdivided topics and scattered in various universities. Among them, the first national 863 plan key project of Shenhai Jiaotong University School of Chemical Engineering came from a project in this plan.

"Research on key technologies of membrane electrode materials for proton exchange membrane fuel cells". Later, Jiaotong University continued to conduct research and development in this field, including the 863 project in 2006, which was "Preparation Technology and Application of Perfluorinated Ion Exchange Materials". This technology was developed by Shandong Dongyue Group

Industrialization was successfully achieved.

After 16 years of experience in this field, the key technology of the lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage system jointly developed with BYD and Zhongpo Battery has also been successfully industrialized.

From the research and development results of the School of Chemical Engineering of Jiaotong University in the field of lithium batteries, it can be clearly seen that industry, academia and research have produced results.

Therefore, saying that it does not have much technical content and conversion value is just a mouthful.

The only difference is that Americen's high degree of financialization makes it easy to find investment for their university research and development results, further realizing industrialization, and the role of science and technology promotion is more obvious and direct.

However, China's method requires the national level to allocate the project. After the allocation, even if the university researchers have achieved results, the incentive for them is far less than that of Amerikan.

Real front-line R&D personnel and results producers enjoy too few relevant dividends. When Zhou Xin communicated with domestic doctoral students, they generally responded to this problem.

"Sir, regarding industry, academia and research, this is what I think about. If the semiconductor industrial park is finally located in Shenhai, then we will use Shenhai University as a test area to explore a more complete and reasonable industry-university-research structure.

In my opinion, a healthy industry-university-research structure must allow scientific researchers to fully enjoy the benefits of their own scientific and technological achievements.

If we only talk about honor, and honor cannot bring benefits in the material world, then this kind of incentive method will be difficult to form a positive cycle in the current social environment."

"The current environment determines that there are too many things to do at the government level and too little money, so it is difficult for us to improve the salary of front-line scientific researchers in one go.

Because including scientific researchers, civil servants, state-owned enterprises and central enterprises without their own profitability, these salary systems that rely on financial allocations will cause more problems if this system is broken.

Therefore, I also encourage various people to go into business in the past. There is nothing wrong with trying the market.

It’s just that I hope that scientific researchers will use their scientific research capabilities and obtain wealth in return. In reality, very few scientific researchers who go to sea rely on scientific research results.

My thinking about this is to further promote cooperation between enterprises and schools, and to distribute the cake well for valuable scientific research results.

The enterprise and the school jointly developed a certain patent. After the patent is marketed and operated, it can bring an income of 10 million to the enterprise every year. This 10 million income is equally divided between the enterprise and the school.

Then the main R&D personnel of the project can buy out the results at a certain price.

I know that it is not necessarily the R&D personnel who buy out the results. It is possible that the company buys out the patents in the name of the R&D personnel, but they need to use the hands of the R&D personnel, and they also need to give benefits to the R&D personnel.

After the operation of this mechanism, with the circulation of information, university professors will realize that they have lost money when selling patents to companies. They will try to buy out the patents themselves, and then operate them together with the company, while promoting the further development of technology.

In short, from my perspective, I just need to formulate the rules well, give more cake and space to front-line scientific researchers under the rules, make dynamic adjustments according to the specific operating conditions, and the market will automatically reach a balance.

It's just that I have too many things to deal with, and it's impossible for me to keep an eye on the specific implementation of this policy at all times. Only good results or very bad results will be heard in my ears.

Sometimes being in a high position has its advantages and disadvantages. When I was in the Ministry of Electronics Industry, I felt that I could do some practical things.

The further up I go, the more pragmatic I feel. Even though I know it's not good, the location makes it difficult to do things on the front line.

So all I can give you are preferential policies, and I can’t give you anything else.”

"Policy benefits are enough, and the policy benefits I just wanted to have are also policy benefits that semiconductor companies strive for.

These benefits are not just for me to enjoy, I believe that with these policies, China's semiconductor industry will also make rapid progress."

China's semiconductor industry is similar to other manufacturing industries in that it is large but not strong.

In addition, the semiconductor industry is a part of the electronics industry, and it is the most difficult part. Time, talent, funds, and industrial circulation are all indispensable.

"For me personally, my emerging investment will be at least US$10 billion in China's semiconductor industry in the next ten years.

So the next requirement is my personal requirement, that is, I hope to build a system that can monitor the capital transactions of the companies that accept my investment.

I hope that the money I invest will not be misused to the greatest extent and can be spent where it should be spent.

This is difficult to do and requires the cooperation of the bank. I hope to get support in this regard.

Of course, I don’t just want to monitor the company’s capital transactions. Before I invest in this company, this is part of the investment agreement negotiated with them. Only when the other party signs the agreement and agrees to the relevant terms will the bank transfer the company’s financial information.

Share fund transaction information with me.”

Zhou Xin knows very well that these are reckless times, especially in precision manufacturing industries such as semiconductors, where it is difficult to ensure that the money you invest is actually used in business operations.

Zhou Xin has a lot of money, and with his vision from the future, the scale of his wealth can continue to grow, so for Zhou Xin, he can accept the money invested as long as it has results.

But Zhou Xin still hopes to improve the utilization rate of funds as much as possible.

And a big advantage of having this kind of system is that it also has some franchise power.

Only Zhou Xin can monitor the capital management of the companies he invests in, which means that with Zhou Xin's investment, at least he knows where the money is being spent.

Not much effect can be seen yet. When the revenue of the semiconductor industry increases, the entire industry forms a positive cycle, and more capital flows in, other investment institutions will give priority to the semiconductor companies invested by Zhou Xin.

Because the funds of these semiconductor companies are transparent.

Of course, by then, new semiconductor companies may not be willing to accept this condition. Only now, when semiconductor companies have no funds to come in, will they be willing to accept this condition as a last resort.

The conditions Zhou Xin proposed were very tricky, and from a superficial point of view, they were indeed out of good intentions.

Only the use of funds is monitored. The invested companies must sign an agreement to agree that their funds will be supervised before taking the money, and only obtain data from the bank.

He was able to quickly realize the benefits of doing so, but the problem was that no one had ever proposed similar conditions to him.

No one even mentioned similar plans to him.

"I would like to ask you what you plan to do? Because I am very interested in what you are talking about. The management of state-owned enterprises has always been a big problem.

We not only require state-owned enterprises to be efficient, but also require them not to violate regulations. Compared with market-oriented private enterprises, state-owned enterprises are too inflexible.

To put it simply, state-owned enterprises have two slownesses and one difficulty: they are slow to make decisions, slow to do things, and difficult to achieve profitability.

After I just listened to your ideas, your method can be used in the management of state-owned enterprises. If we also monitor the capital transactions of state-owned enterprises through bank data integration, can we effectively curb some of the problems that are emerging in state-owned enterprises?

Director Zeng, please record this issue carefully, and then ask the Information Office and the Asset Management Department of the Ministry of Finance to jointly study this matter carefully, and if necessary, involve comrades from the Central Bank.

In addition, the Science and Technology Department of the Planning Commission will be responsible for serious research on how to optimize the industry-university-research structure and distribute more cakes to front-line R&D personnel.

Comrade, please continue talking."

Zhou Xin feels that this is a big trap. No matter how he talks, he will leave a hole for himself. If a similar fund monitoring system is really implemented to manage state-owned enterprises, the people who offend will really be gone.

This method of play is something that has not been done 20 years later. Until 20 years later, state-owned enterprises still reported data to regulatory agencies, rather than directly connecting the data.

Zhou Xin thought for a while and decided to offend him if he offended him. Even if he offended him, they would not dare to do anything to him.

"I think this mechanism is definitely effective. It uses bank data to supervise the capital transactions of state-owned enterprises. It only supervises but does not impose restrictions.

During the annual audit process, electronic audit combined with traditional audit can effectively avoid most problems.

It’s just that there may be some technical difficulties, and a feasibility study may be needed in this regard.”

Starting from today, there will be one chapter each in the morning and evening, and then the conversation will end when the chapter is written tomorrow morning.

The content here will affect many years to come, so it would be impossible not to write in detail.
