Chapter 666 Technical Renovation Fund

Lin Zhenhua is very familiar with the yamen of the Development and Reform Commission.When He Haifeng was the deputy director here, Lin Zhenhua would come to visit every time he came to the capital, even if it was just for a chat.After He Haifeng retired to the second line, Lin Zhenhua came to the Development and Reform Commission mainly to talk about work. Hanhua Heavy Industry has a wide range of business and has relationships with many departments of the Development and Reform Commission. Therefore, Lin Zhenhua has relationships with many directors and directors of the Development and Reform Commission. All get on well.

Of course, Huang Gang has the best relationship with Lin Zhenhua.Lin Zhenhua made friends with Huang Gang as early as when he was still an undergraduate student.Later, Huang Gang followed He Haifeng as a Ph.D., and had more contacts with Lin Zhenhua.Before He Haifeng retired, he specifically told Huang Gang to take care of Lin Zhenhua. Naturally, Huang Gang did not dare to slack off on the entrustment of his mentor and old leader.

When discussing matters with other officials, Lin Zhenhua still needs to be more or less careful, and even needs to choose his words carefully, and he has to reserve some things.But in front of Huang Gang, these precautions can be completely avoided. Even if some words are inappropriate, Huang Gang will not mind, and it is even more impossible to grab Lin Zhenhua's braid because of a certain sentence.

Huang Gang received Lin Zhenhua in his office, and after a few pleasantries, Huang Gang asked bluntly, "Zhenhua, you came this time because of the European companies' joint ban on you, right?"

"Hehe, Director Huang is really far-sighted. Director Huang knows everything about a small company like ours. I admire, admire." Lin Zhenhua replied with a smile.

Huang Gang smiled slightly, and directly filtered out Lin Zhenhua's ridicule. He said: "You have been in the capital for several days. You have been to the Science and Industry Committee, Academy of Sciences, and Huaqing University. Can you hear the wind? I'm just wondering why you went to them first and came to us last?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Didn't I come here now? I will visit other departments first, mainly to find out what kind of resources they have in their hands and which ones we can use. After understanding these situations clearly , and then ask the Development and Reform Commission to help coordinate, this order should be correct, right?"

Huang Gang nodded and said, "Well, from your Han Hua's point of view, this order is indeed correct."

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise.

Huang Gang said: "This time the European companies are united to target not only you, Hanhua, but all the equipment manufacturing companies in China. Even going further, it is aimed at the industries of all emerging economies around the world. Enterprises. You Hanhua are busy working on this matter, and our Development and Reform Commission is not idle."

"Hehe, that's how it is." Lin Zhenhua understood.Of course, he knew that the many countermeasures jointly launched by European companies this time did not only affect Hanhua. Many domestic equipment manufacturing companies are facing similar problems as Hanhua.Hanhua is an industry leader in the fields of machine tools and chemical equipment. Lin Zhenhua came to the capital this time to coordinate with Huaqing University, the Science and Industry Commission and other departments. The results achieved will also be helpful to other companies.

From Hanhua's point of view, it is indeed a reasonable order to visit those partners first, and then to the Development and Reform Commission to ask for policies.But from Huang Gang's point of view, he hopes that Hanhua can go to the Development and Reform Commission to introduce his situation first, so that the Development and Reform Commission can coordinate all departments and jointly provide assistance to domestic enterprises including Hanhua.The positions of the two aspects are different, and the order of doing things is naturally different.

Huang Gang said: "European companies have introduced countermeasures against emerging industrial countries. Last month, more than 20 large European equipment companies jointly proposed an initiative, calling on the entire industry to strengthen respect for intellectual property rights, and proposed that in the future Increase the existing industrial patent licensing fees step by step within two years by 3 to 5 times. When this statement came out, the world was shocked."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Can you not be shocked? The technology patents held by enterprises in developed countries account for more than 95% of the patented technologies in use in the world. In terms of patent fees, developing countries already have a high deficit with developed countries. , if the price of patents rises sharply, developing countries will suffer huge economic losses, and some enterprises may simply be overwhelmed and close their doors.”

"We have roughly calculated that if European companies really increase their patent licensing fees by 3 to 5 times as they claim, Chinese companies will have to spend more than 60 billion US dollars in patent fees. If the United States, Japan and other countries Enterprises also raise the threshold of patent fees, and we will spend tens of billions of dollars a year." Huang Gang said.

"This is just the current figure." Lin Zhenhua said, "As far as Hanhua is concerned, the number of foreign patents used is growing rapidly every year. I estimate that in three to five years, the figure you calculated will be increased. Double or even triple."

Huang Gang said: "Who says no, the conclusions drawn by our research department are also the same. When we held meetings with officials in charge of economics in countries such as India and Brazil, they also said that European companies are really crazy."

"Actually, this also shows that European companies are at their wit's end. A patent price increase is a double-edged sword. While hurting others, it will also hurt themselves. I think Europeans don't understand this truth." Said in a disdainful tone.

Huang Gang also understood what Lin Zhenhua said.On the surface, companies with patents can maximize profits by raising patent licensing fees.But at the same time, high patent fees will also force some enterprises with relatively backward technology to develop by themselves.If things go on like this, the gap between technologically advanced enterprises and technologically backward enterprises will gradually narrow, which is not good for advanced enterprises.

The past practice of European companies is to set the patent fee at an appropriate level, so that companies in developing countries feel that development is not as good as purchase.After European companies get patent fees, they can invest them in research and development, so as to maintain their technological advantages over developing countries.

This time European companies have jointly raised patent licensing fees, which is quite a bit like fishing in a dry lake.In the short term, European companies can receive higher patent fees, and some companies in developing countries will also lose their competitiveness due to the heavy burden of patent fees.But after developing countries have formed their own research and development capabilities, the last trump card of European companies will disappear. At that time, these European companies will only suffer worse.

Of course, these European companies are not unaware of this, but the current European economy is in jeopardy, and large companies including ALK are also in serious financial difficulties.How can companies care about long-term interests? It would be great if they can overcome the immediate difficulties first.

"During this time, we have received reports from many companies, all saying that in the context of European companies raising patent fees, they should increase their efforts in independent research and development, and hope that the National Development and Reform Commission can give support. Before that, the central government proposed Many companies still hold a wait-and-see attitude to strengthen independent innovation. European companies have really pushed our companies to the top of the mountain." Huang Gang said with a smile.

Lin Zhenhua asked: "What is the attitude of the National Development and Reform Commission on this issue?"

Huang Gang said: "It goes without saying, of course it is strongly supported. This year's state finance originally allocated 1100 billion yuan for technological transformation. Because of this matter, we temporarily decided to increase it by more than 500 billion yuan, and if necessary, an additional 800 million yuan." A billion is also possible."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Lin Zhenhua's eyes widened.Hanhua can be regarded as a rich company, and Lin Zhenhua is also a leader who is willing to spend money on technology research and development, but the funds that can be invested in research and development a year are about 70 billion.If the National Development and Reform Commission can add 500 billion or even 800 billion in technological innovation funds across the country, it should not be difficult for Hanhua to win 30 billion with Hanhua's status.

Huang Gang seemed to have expected Lin Zhenhua's astonishment. He smiled slightly and said, "Zhenhua, now you know that everything should come to our Development and Reform Commission first, right?"

"It should be, it should be." Lin Zhenhua laughed and said, "I was wrong, I was really wrong. I actually thought that the country would not stand by, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

"This matter is not just about your company. What European companies want to block is the industrial capacity of China as a whole. The country can't stand idly by. As for the strength, it should be bigger. If our judgment is right If so, this should be the last madness of those European companies." Huang Gang said confidently.

Lin Zhenhua couldn't help laughing: "Huang Gang, I found that your tone is really big enough. It seems that working in the government and working in our enterprise have different perspectives on issues. However, you are right, and we also think that this should It is the last madness of European companies. If we win this battle, European companies will lose their last advantage."

"They still have some skills." Huang Gang said, "But they will lose in the end."

"This sentence...why does it sound so familiar to me?" Lin Zhenhua scratched his scalp and said.

Huang Gang smiled and said: "That's what you said. It was more than ten years ago. You, Junior Sister He, and Zhang Qiong went to our dormitory for the first time. You said this at that time. I always I keep it all in my heart."

"Did you think I was bragging at the time?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile.

Huang Gang nodded honestly and said, "At that time, I felt somewhat guilty, but now that I say this, I feel at ease. Unexpectedly, in just over ten years, the gap between us and European companies has narrowed to this point. We were able to force them to jump over the wall."

Lin Zhenhua said: "When they are basking in the sun, we are working; when they are drinking beer, we are working; when they are sleeping, we are still working. The purpose is to catch up with and surpass them one day. Now , it’s time for a decisive battle.”

"Okay, just go forward, we will definitely be your strong backing." Huang Gang's emotions were also stirred up by Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua expressed his feelings for a while, and quickly returned to reality. He asked Huang Gang: "Huang Gang, we should be able to apply for the technological transformation funds you just mentioned? I have visited many universities and research institutes these days. I talked with them about a lot of technology development cooperation, all of which require financial support. I originally planned to find a bank for a loan, but now that you have the funds for technological transformation, we should be able to get some, right?"

Huang Gang lowered his voice and said: "Zhenhua, don't say anything about this now, we haven't officially released the news yet. This technological improvement fund is also patchwork from other fields. It is hard-earned and cannot be regarded as pepper noodles." Sprinkle everywhere. For key enterprises like yours Hanhua, we will definitely support them vigorously. However, some small and medium-sized enterprises still need to give full play to their own initiative and rely on their own efforts to resist the crisis."

Lin Zhenhua nodded repeatedly: "Huang Gang, don't worry, I know what can be said and what can't be said. The technologies we are developing are all key node technologies. Once these technologies make a breakthrough, it will not only affect our Hanhua Technological improvement is meaningful, and it will also be of great help to other domestic companies. Therefore, it is justifiable for us to apply for national technological transformation funds."

"I know this." Huang Gang said, "Otherwise I would not have disclosed this news to you. How about this, you go back and sort out the projects at hand to see which ones need financial support from the state, and report together The National Development and Reform Commission is here. However, I can explain in advance that not all of your applications will be approved."

Lin Zhenhua was overjoyed: "No problem, I will ask them to sort out the materials when I go back, and report to the Development and Reform Commission as soon as possible. As for the small and medium-sized enterprises you mentioned, I think we will not ignore them after we have made breakthroughs in technology. Accepting our technology will be enough to offset the pressure European companies put on them."

"I fully believe in this point," Huang Gang said.Hanhua has always been keen on helping small and medium-sized enterprises, which is well known in the industry.He said with emotion: "If all big companies, like Hanhua, pay attention to team spirit and regard the country's affairs as their own affairs, then the work of our National Development and Reform Commission will be much easier."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Actually, this is also very simple. You have a lot of money in your hands now, and every company wants to get it. You can definitely set conditions and require the technology developed by each company to be comparable to that of domestic companies. Shared with other businesses. This way, the money you invest is more efficient.”

"Your suggestion is good." Huang Gang said, "I will write it down now and submit it to the committee leaders for discussion."

"It's just such a good suggestion for me. Shouldn't we be more inclined to us when allocating funds for technological transformation in the future?" Lin Zhenhua said with a laugh.

　It's been more days, I really can't help myself, everyone forgive me.I will update as soon as possible.
