323: Minister Yang will personally inspect

“Yes, the rewards for the two science and technology research and development projects can be combined, but 15 billion yuan is a bit high. I think 12 billion yuan should be very reasonable.”

“I also think 12 billion yuan is more reasonable.”

Minister Yang Gaofan of the Ministry of Science and Technology saw that everyone thought 12 billion yuan was more reasonable, thought for a while and said, “I also approve of this amount.”

Director Zhao also thought that although 12 billion yuan was not particularly high, it was the Ministry of Science and Technology that took the initiative to combine Jiantuan Electronics' two science and technology research and development projects for the reward, which was enough to express the Ministry of Science and Technology's importance towards Jiantuan Electronics.

“I also agree to give Kunhe City Jiantuan Electronics Co., Ltd. a science and technology research and development reward of 12 billion yuan.” Director Zhao said, “However, to express our importance, I suggest our Ministry of Science and Technology send special personnel to Jiantuan Electronics to inspect, and then announce this news on the spot. When the media releases this news, it will definitely cause a huge sensational effect.”

“This idea is good, I think it is feasible. But who should we send?”

“I think only with Minister Yang personally leading the team this time can we show our importance towards Jiantuan Electronics.” Director Zhao made a suggestion.

“Ah? Minister Yang is going personally? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?”

“It is indeed a bit exaggerated. I think sending a Director is already a big deal.”

“Exactly. Minister Yang has never personally gone to present an award to a company.”

“If absolutely necessary, sending a Vice Minister is also acceptable.”

Amidst everyone's chattering discussion, Minister Yang Gaofan spoke, “I think I should personally make a trip. Director Zhao can accompany me.”

Hearing Minister Yang speak, everyone stopped talking.

It seems Minister Yang truly gives importance to Jiantuan Electronics' lithography machine research and development. Not only is he giving a high reward, but he is also going to personally present the award!

“Then when shall we depart for Kunhe City?” Director Zhao asked.

“We need to communicate with Liu Xiaolin in advance. We cannot go rashly. After all, their work schedule should be very tight, so we must communicate in advance so they have time to receive us. Of course, this reception is not about inviting us for a meal, but receiving us to inspect Jiantuan Electronics and visit the production process of the Chip Production Workshop.” Minister Yang Gaofan said.

“Okay, I will contact Liu Xiaolin immediately. After confirming the time, I will communicate with you again.” Director Zhao said.

At this moment, in General Manager Lai Junying's office, Hong Youli had just taken out the fine carving processing contract and handed it to Lai Junying: “General Manager Lai, take a look at the contract. If there are no problems, we will sign and stamp it.”

Lai Junying was so excited his hands were trembling slightly. It had been over a year since he had received such a large processing task. This was truly a case of suffering coming to an end and good times arriving.

He opened the contract and looked through it. The quantity and unit price had just been confirmed, the delivery period was also without issue, and the quality requirements were very reasonable. What was he waiting for? Sign it!

Lai Junying picked up the pen and quickly signed his name!

The assistant took the company's official seal and stamped it on the company name!

The two copies of the contract, signed and stamped, returned to Hong Youli's hands.

Hong Youli followed the same process: sign, stamp!

The contract is effective!

Everyone applauded to celebrate! Everyone was in high spirits, everyone was beaming with joy!

Amidst everyone's applause, Liu Xiaolin's phone rang.

Liu Xiaolin took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was actually Director Zhao from the Ministry of Science and Technology!

Liu Xiaolin quickly made a shushing gesture. After everyone quieted down, he pressed the answer button.

“Hello, Director Zhao, how are you!” Liu Xiaolin quickly said.

“General Manager Liu, you answer the phone quite quickly!” Director Zhao praised him right away.

“Of course I have to answer Director Zhao's call immediately.” Liu Xiaolin continued to be humble.

“General Manager Liu, it's like this. Minister Yang of our Dragon Country National Ministry of Science and Technology plans to visit your Jiantuan Electronics for inspection. You've met Minister Yang, do you remember?” Director Zhao got straight to the point.

“Of course I remember. I met him last time when I went to your Ministry of Science and Technology to apply for a science and technology research and development project. Minister Yang is very amiable.” Liu Xiaolin recalled warmly.

“Mm, it's good that you remember. I'm calling you this time to communicate with you about when you have time to receive us?” After Director Zhao finished this sentence, he felt the need to explain: “Of course, the reception I'm talking about is not about eating and drinking. It's about when it's convenient for us to visit Jiantuan Electronics' Chip Production Workshop and lithography machine production workshop, and if there's enough time, we also want to go to Langfang Fine Carving to take a look.”

When Liu Xiaolin heard this, wow, the Minister of Science and Technology personally coming to the company for inspection? This was probably the first time ever, right? He had never seen any news report before about the Minister of Science and Technology inspecting an electronics company!

Was there even a need to consider? Anytime was convenient!

No, the 2.0 Lithography Machine will be installed at Langfang Fine Carving on Monday, so it's definitely not suitable for receiving guests. Let's just make it Tuesday. If they come on Tuesday, they can not only visit several workshops at Jiantuan Electronics but also visit several workshops at Langfang Fine Carving!

If Minister Yang is happy then, it would be great if he gives a bit more research and development project reward money.

Although the current funds are no longer a big problem, who running a company would dislike having more money?

“We are installing a new 2.0 Lithography Machine next Monday, so we might not have time to receive you. Is Tuesday okay? Does Minister Yang have time on Tuesday?” Liu Xiaolin said humbly.

“Regarding the scheduling, I cannot make the decision. How about this, I will inform you of the specific time after I communicate with Minister Yang.” Director Zhao finished speaking and hung up the phone.

After Liu Xiaolin finished the call, he saw everyone staring at him with wide eyes and was startled: “Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“A call from the Ministry of Science and Technology?” Hong Youli asked.

“Yes, Director Zhao from the Ministry of Science and Technology called to say that Minister Yang wants to come to Jiantuan Electronics for inspection and asked when it would be convenient to receive him.” Liu Xiaolin said nonchalantly.

“Is Minister Yang personally coming for the inspection?” Lai Junying's eyes sparkled as if they had grown stars.

“Yes, Minister Yang is personally coming for the inspection, what's wrong?” Liu Xiaolin said blankly. Was there anything special about Minister Yang coming for an inspection?

“Do you know? Minister Yang has been in office for over two years, and since he took office, he has never personally gone to inspect any company. Your Jiantuan Electronics is the first company he will personally inspect!” Hong Youli stated the reason for everyone's astonishment.

“Does that mean the Ministry of Science and Technology gives Jiantuan Electronics a lot of importance?” Liu Xiaolin understood a little!

“Exactly! Minister Yang personally inspecting is enough to show that your Jiantuan Electronics' research and development projects are of great significance!” Lai Junying said with a smile.
