Rongcheng, Huawuyuan.

Ye Zhou has received the latest progress on the Doka Village project problems, and the sanctions imposed by superiors on the General Technical Office and the Tongtianhe project team have also arrived at the same time.

Opposite him, Chen Hao poured himself a cup of tea with a look of helplessness on his face, and then said:

"I said, you guys are really ruthless. You said you won't change coaches on the spot. It's enough to freeze promotions for three years."

"I thought it was just an internal warning and review plus some salary deductions."

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"It's not that simple... This time he didn't give a warning to the organization, which is already considered merciful. If he was really given a warning, let alone three years, he wouldn't be able to get promoted in the next ten years."

"After all, leaders must be held accountable for such large-scale problems, and it is impossible to get away with just three drinks as a fine."

Hearing this, Chen Hao could only sigh.

Compared with the person in charge of the Tongtianhe project, the punishment he received was very light. After all, he was not the direct leader of the project, and there was no obvious dereliction of duty.

However, he still felt a little...confused about such a result.

After a moment of silence, he asked:

"Tell me, if we give such a punishment this time, will it cause everyone to be afraid to do things in the future?"

"Grassroots work is very complicated. Although starting from the top, we think we should stand with the people, but what if things really don't go forward?"

"Are we just dragging it out?"

"Without drastic measures, the problem will get bigger and drag on for a longer time."

"I'm worried that the brothers on the front lines below will be heartbroken."

"That's the project team's problem."

"The reason why the supervision function should be separated from the management function is to restrict each other. In this case, as the supervisory party, we blew the whistle and stepped on the brakes. Then the project team, as the management party, must formulate strategies accordingly to avoid this kick.

Apply the brakes and stop the car directly."

"Everyone has their own responsibilities. You shouldn't and can't do everything."

Ye Zhou looked serious. In fact, he had only recently realized this truth. Even the night before, he was still as confused as Chen Hao.

"Okay... now it's your turn to teach me how to do things - it's so fast."

Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hao, who was pretending to be emotional, with some amusement, and cursed with a feigned anger:

"You're following this trick with me, right? You're not busy enough with the chief technical officer's duties, so you still have the energy to come and squeeze on me?"

"I'm not flattering you. I'm sincere. Isn't this a disguised compliment to you?"

"Farewell, you should talk to me seriously - how is the current progress of the Taishang device?"

Chen Hao opened the laptop on the desktop. On the screen was a long list. He turned the screen to Ye Zhou and said:

"There are now close to 200 departments involved, involving dozens of industry fields from materials to smelting to precision control. Among them, there are nearly 60 departments that require R&D and technological breakthroughs."

"With complete technical documentation, the difficulty of technical theoretical research and development does not exist. What is difficult is the practical operation - the process of moving from theory to reality."

"The main problem is that tool preparation, material preparation, software development, and personnel preparation are not difficult, but they are cumbersome and the process chain is lengthy. If we want to speed up, we will face the risk of a cliff-like decline in marginal utility."

"So, the current basic strategy is to let things take their own course, without any acceleration requirements. As long as all preparations are completed within 6 to 8 years, it will be considered a success."

"Six to eight years?"

Ye Zhou frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"It's too long. We can't afford to delay it that long."

"Five years is the limit. Difficulties such as diminishing marginal utility should be faced with the difficulty of survival. You should lean back first."

"In the final analysis, isn't it just about the investment of resources? Are we short of money now?"

Looking at Ye Zhou who looked so matter-of-fact, Chen Hao shook his head helplessly, and then explained:

"You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are."

"Yes, our current funding sources are abundant, but it is already stretched to support several large-scale projects, and the new sources that have been opened up during the expansion process will not be able to provide sufficient capital inflows in a short period of time.

"

"Don't look at me. This is determined by the laws of the market. You can't possibly ask us to start laying eggs like hens as soon as we have established a foothold overseas, right?"

"If nothing else, our international routes are still operating at a loss. To turn losses into profits, we will have to wait at least until several large cargo airports in Europe are built - which will take four to five years."

"Even in the technology consumer goods industry, which is the fastest monetizing industry, it still takes time to develop user habits and stabilize new markets, and generate a lot of profits."

"So, we are actually overdrawing the future now - fortunately, this is a relatively stable future."

After listening to Chen Hao's explanation, Ye Zhou fell silent. Although he was not a financial professional, he had begun to have a certain sensitivity to funds after years of work.

After preliminary statistics of all departments and tasks, he estimated a rough capital occupation value for his plan, and this value was as high as 1.4 billion soft sister coins.

This is equivalent to an industry that accounts for less than 2% of the country's GDP, which will consume 10% of the funds every year in the next five years.

"Can other means be used? For example, bond issuance financing?"

"Of course, but in that case, we will have to bear the pain of large-scale water releases."

"You know, in essence, if you pursue a high-inflation policy, you will plunder resources from ordinary people and then concentrate them in designated areas. The impact of high inflation on big capital is very limited, and only the common people will suffer."

"We may not be able to afford such consequences because..."

Chen Hao did not continue speaking, but Ye Zhou already understood what he wanted to express.

In the context of the invasion of adjacent dimensions, the entire social order system has become extremely fragile. Any new disturbance may lead to catastrophic consequences. They must work step by step and formulate strategies on thin ice.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou opened his mouth and said:

"The problem is already obvious: this is not a project that we can complete alone. We should seek international cooperation and spread the difficulties to everyone."

"Nuclear fusion is a certain and absolutely bright future. I believe no one will refuse such cooperation."

Chen Hao nodded slightly, but then immediately shook his head.

"uncertain."

"The more times this happens, the more difficult it will be to achieve cooperation."

"To achieve optimal allocation, we may need to introduce more than 20 partner countries."

"How to handle the relations between these 20 countries is a big problem."

"But we have no choice."

Ye Zhou interrupted Chen Hao and said firmly:

"If they are unwilling to cooperate, then find a way to make them willing."
