Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1114 Still No Money

Although Ms. Huang was in a low mood, as a researcher of the older generation, she could fully understand the country's difficulties.

They really put the interests of the country first and personal gains and losses second.

Since the country needs to use the Asian Games to show itself to the outside world, she will respect the wishes of her superiors.

Chen Changan also assured her that the funds would be in place by the middle of the year, and she was willing to believe Chen Changan.

"You just got off the plane today, so no matter what you do, you must combine work and rest.

How about this, you go back and have a day's rest, and we'll go to our superiors together tomorrow morning.

If the superiors don't have money, then Ms. Huang will have to bear the consequences.

I can only take this 10 million and use it first, and I will definitely increase the investment later."

"Okay, Director Chen, I believe in you. I understand the country is in trouble. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."

Looking at Ms. Huang's back as she left, Chen Changan couldn't help but sigh.

The older generation of scholars don’t care about their own gains and losses at all, they just want to solve the country’s problems.

Although some research is not their own interest or hobby, they are still willing to choose research resolutely for the country and the people.

The same goes for Ms. Huang, although researching chips is Ms. Huang's hobby.

But even if Chen Changan were to replace Ms. Huang, he would return to China with joy.

But the answer I got was that there was no money. I was so angry that I was about to explode and would definitely point at the nose of my superiors and curse.

Ms. Huang seemed to be accustomed to such answers. She accepted it calmly without a word of blame.

In later generations, young researchers would choose to go abroad if they were treated even slightly unfairly.

Ms. Huang originally had the opportunity to stay abroad, where she could get more scientific research funding and a better scientific research environment, but after staying there for a while, she resolutely chose to return to China.

Chen Changan admires such scientific researchers from the bottom of his heart.

It is precisely because our country has these scientific researchers that our country has been able to rise so rapidly in such a short period of time.

Returning to his seat, Chen Changan picked up the phone and called Hou Yan directly.

"What? Another 20 million will be withdrawn from the car factory's account?

My dear Director Chen, are you treating the car factory as a bank?

Don't forget that you are still the director of the automobile factory.

After distributing the welfare benefits during the Chinese New Year, the car factory only had more than 20 million yuan left in its account.

If another 20 million is taken away, the factory will only have one month's salary left.

Now that you're the director, you're starting to act in a disloyal way, right?

He's determined to spend all the money the car factory has before he steps down as factory director.

Hou Yan became unhappy when she heard that Chen Changan wanted to take away another 20 million.

Although this money does not belong to Hou Yan, she has food in her hands so she is not worried.

Over the years, that is, when the car factory was just established, funds were a bit tight.

In the years that followed, when she suddenly ran out of money, Hou Yan immediately became anxious.

"Not really. I've calculated that even if the 20 million is taken away, the car factory will still have enough funds to last for two months.

And it doesn't need to last that long. In March, the new year's TV auction will begin.

The income from this one item alone is enough to cover the automobile factory’s expenses for the entire year.”

As the deputy director of the automobile factory in charge of finance, how could Hou Yan not know how much money he had in his hands?

Although what Chen Changan said was true, the remaining money was enough to sustain the car factory for a while.

But as the purse manager of the automobile factory, Chen Changan's spending in recent times has been really too high.

It’s not like car manufacturers haven’t invested in TV drama production before.

For example, for "Journey to the West", the director came in person and only asked for three million yuan. But only a few years have passed, and it actually cost 70 million yuan to shoot a TV series.

She was somewhat suspicious that her factory manager had been cheated. Did he know how much money 70 million was?

Do you know how big a mountain these 70 million would be if piled together?

"Director Chen, Director Chen, the money in this factory is just sitting there. No matter where you spend it, the workers in the factory will have no objection.

But you should also use it sparingly. I don’t know if you have been bewitched by someone.

Or maybe you want to do something wrong, anyway, think about it yourself. Don't let this little money ruin your future."

"What are you talking about? Just be prepared if I tell you to. To be honest, I don't care about this little money.

If it weren't inconvenient, there are some car manufacturers there who would contribute money, and my personal investment would be enough.

Okay, I've explained everything to you now. Keep this money for me and don't touch it."

Hou Yan naturally knew that he could not persuade Chen Changan, so he could only agree helplessly.

The next morning, when Chen Changan arrived at the gate of his unit by car, he saw Ms. Huang standing at the gate waiting.

He was shivering in the cold wind, but still standing straight.

Chen Changan asked his driver to park the car next to Ms. Huang, looked at Xiao Yang who was also standing next to her, and said with a stern face.

"What's going on? You let Ms. Huang stand outside in such a cold weather?

Can't you take Ms. Huang to my office first? If Ms. Huang really gets sick, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Director Chen, don't blame Xiao Yang. It was me who insisted on standing here and waiting for you.

My superior is very busy with work. If you hadn't taken me with you, it would not have been easy for me to see him again.

Let's try to go and come back as early as possible. Even if the superiors don't have funds, 10 million is a lot of money, and we can open the research institute.

Back then, the government only gave us three to five million yuan a year, but we still managed to survive.”

"You older generation scientists are truly amazing. It's cold outside, so hurry up and get in my car. We're going to see our superiors right now."

After getting in the car, Ms. Huang looked at the scenery outside the window without saying a word. Chen Changan then spoke.

"Ms. Huang, please don't be so unreasonable. I'll keep my promise.

Yesterday I had another meeting with the car manufacturer and secured 20 million yuan in funding."

When Ms. Huang heard that the funding had increased to 20 million, she finally smiled.

"Director Chen, thank you."

After Chen Changan and Ms. Huang walked into the superior's office and explained the situation to him, the superior also looked ashamed.

"Ms. Huang, this year's payment was completed as early as last year.

I haven't received any notification from my superiors, nor any report from your laboratory. I'm sorry, but your chip research institute still has no funding this year."
