Chapter 458 Research and Development Budget
On this day, Lin Rui was working on the development plan of the Starry Sky Research Institute.

After a year of development in the past year, the seven branches of the Starry Sky Research Institute and the Exploration Laboratory have all developed well.

The total number of R&D personnel has exceeded 10.

According to the company's planning and needs, another 8 people will be added in the next year.

Increase the number of R&D personnel to 18.

Become one of the top R&D institutions in the world.

Just thinking of this, the secretary sent a document, which turned out to be the just-released 2013 domestic R&D expenditure ranking list.

Among them, Xingkong Research Institute ranked first with a research and development investment of 580 billion yuan.

Huawei ranked second with an R&D investment of 330 billion.

Weiyang Technology ranks third with an R&D investment of 220 billion.

The two companies under Lin Rui's name directly occupy the top two in the domestic R&D expenditure list.

This matter has been hyped up on the Internet now, and countless people have widened their eyes, both curious and shocked.

Especially the Xing Kong Research Institute, there are not many related introductions on the Internet, which seems a bit mysterious.

When this research and development ranking list came out, everyone was shocked.Such an obscure research institute has the highest R&D investment in the country.

……

Speaking of it, Lin Rui has indeed invested a lot in the Xing Kong Research Institute. At the beginning of last year alone, he allocated a one-time allocation of 58 billion US dollars and nearly 300 billion yuan.

In March, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence was established, and another billion US dollars and 100 billion RMB were allocated.

In May, under the Industrial Software and Internet of Things Research Institute, several major project departments were established, and another 60 million US dollars and [-] billion RMB were allocated.

Last year alone, Lin Rui allocated 73 billion U.S. dollars and more than 450 billion yuan to the Starry Sky Research Institute.

However, these research and development investments have not been spent, and there is still a lot of wealth.

This is also the origin of the 2013 billion R&D investment of Star Research Institute in 580 on the R&D ranking list.

……

The materials sent by the secretary include not only the 2013 domestic enterprise R&D ranking list, but also the global enterprise R&D ranking list.

Lin Rui then looked down.

Among them, in 2013, Volkswagen's R&D investment ranked first in the world, as high as 114 billion US dollars.

In second place is Samsung, with an R&D investment of US$104 billion.

The third place is Roche, a European pharmaceutical company, with an R&D investment of US$102.

Intel ranked fourth in R&D investment, with $101 billion.

R & D investment fifth is Microsoft, 98 billion US dollars.

R & D investment ranked sixth is Toyota, also 98 billion US dollars.

Next is Xingkong Technology Group. In 2013, with a research and development investment of 94 billion US dollars, it ranked seventh in the world.

This is also the first time that a Chinese company has achieved such a high ranking.

The European pharmaceutical company Novartis then ranked eighth, with an R&D expenditure of US$93 billion.

Ranked ninth is Merck, a North American pharmaceutical company, with US$82 billion.

In tenth place is the pharmaceutical company Pfizer, which invested $79 billion in research and development.

This is 2013, the top ten companies in the world for R&D investment.

After reading the information, Lin Rui took a long breath, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Although, since the Xing Kong Research Institute has just been established for a year, many projects have just started, and the scientific research results in various aspects are limited.

However, only in terms of R&D investment and the number of top talents inside, the Xingkong Research Institute has already been ranked as one of the world's top R&D institutions.

What is lacking is only the precipitation and accumulation of time.

In this regard, the Internet is also boiling.

China ranks No. 20 in R&D investment and No. [-] in the world. There is only a gap of US$ [-] billion between Volkswagen and Volkswagen, which tops the global R&D list.

This is the first time that a Chinese company has reached this level of ranking.

In addition, Huawei performed well, ranking more than 20 in the world in R&D expenditure.

As for Weiyang Technology, it has already ranked outside the [-]th place.

However, the R&D investment of RMB 220 billion has also been unanimously praised by netizens.

Compared with Xingkong Technology Group, Huawei, and Weiyang Technology, these three domestic R&D expenditures rank among the top three companies.

For the rest, the gap is a bit bigger.

Ali, Penguin, Baidu...the three Internet companies have invested less than [-] billion yuan in research and development.

State-owned enterprises, on the other hand, performed relatively well. China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and China Mobile ranked fourth and fifth in the R&D list, respectively, with R&D investments exceeding [-] billion.

It is also a bright spot.

……

Then, Lin Rui sorted out the development of Starry Sky Research Institute in the past year, and made a rough plan for the coming year.

New Energy Research Institute, the main research direction is new energy vehicles, and all kinds of new energy.

At present, there are more than 1 R&D personnel, and major projects are progressing well, especially for new energy vehicles, which are already building concept cars.

Naturally, the cost is not small, and most of the one billion US dollars and 50 billion RMB invested in the early stage have been invested.

Lin Rui was basically satisfied with this and looked forward to it.

It is planned to expand the number of recruits by another 1 people in the next year, so that the number of R&D personnel of the New Energy Research Institute will reach 2.

Then came the "Industrial Software and Internet of Things Research Institute", which is also the largest research and development institution under Starry Sky Research Institute, with more than 7000 R&D personnel.

Not only has it invested a lot of R&D resources in industrial software and the Internet of Things, but it also has three major projects.

They are respectively aimed at the origin operating system of the closed-source smartphone end; the computer operating system of the PC end; and the operating system of industrial machinery.

They are all projects with great potential and extremely important.

At present, various works are progressing well, and Lin Rui has great expectations for this.

Last year, the total allocation of one billion US dollars and 100 billion RMB was spent, and more than half of it was consumed. This year, it is expected to expand the recruitment of 5000 people again, so that the total number of R&D personnel in the Industrial Software and Internet of Things Research Institute will expand to 3.

The Research Institute of New Materials mainly conducts research on basic science and new materials, with a total of more than [-] R&D personnel.

Including but not limited to graphene, nanomaterials, superconducting materials, liquid metals, [-]D printing materials, carbon fibers, memory alloys, biomaterials...etc.

Various practical new materials, as well as future-oriented theoretical materials with great potential.

In the past year, the New Materials Research Institute has also gained a lot of money and achieved a lot of research and development results. Lin Rui is quite satisfied.

Naturally, more than half of the US$40 million and RMB [-] billion allocated last year have also been spent.

Fortunately, the money is not in vain. Lin Rui plans to expand the enrollment by another 1 people this year, so that the number of R&D personnel will reach 8000, and strengthen the R&D strength of the New Materials Research Institute.

……

The Institute of Biological and Life Sciences mainly studies biological sciences, life sciences, nanotechnology, gene technology, etc...

At present, the total number of R&D personnel exceeds 1000, and considerable progress has been made.

Now that there are results, it is natural to increase investment.

Last year, Lin Rui allocated a total of 50 million US dollars and [-] billion RMB.

It is expected to increase investment again this year to expand the scale of the Institute of Biological and Life Sciences to 2 people.

The Institute of Space Exploration, due to the fact that the policy has not yet been opened, the research and development centers are all located abroad.

Last year, Lin Rui allocated US$15 billion to establish the Institute of Space Exploration in Europe, and set up six R&D centers in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Japan, and Russia to recruit top space and aerospace talents around the world.

Because of being willing to throw money, the results are not cheap.

At present, the total number of research and development personnel of the "Space Exploration Research Institute" exceeds 1, and Lin Rui plans to expand the number of recruits by another 1 this year to reach the scale of 2.

Strive to become the world's top private space exploration company in the shortest possible time.

Compared with Musk's SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin, Lin Rui has a great financial advantage and can invest more resources.

In the future, when domestic policies are opened up, Lin Rui will further increase investment to realize the dream of stars and seas.

Next is the Chip Research Institute, which mainly develops smart chips for mobile phones, automobiles, home appliances, and various industrial equipment.

At present, all work is progressing well, especially in the development of high-end smartphone chips, the development has come to an end, and it will be officially released in the next few months.

The chip research institute has a total of 1 employees, and Lin Rui plans to recruit another 8000 people in the next year, reaching a scale of 2.

Then came the Institute of Artificial Intelligence.

Since its establishment in March last year, Lin Rui has invested a lot of money and energy in it.

Under his personal leadership, various research and development work has progressed rapidly, and most of the allocated one billion US dollars and 100 billion RMB have been consumed.

At present, the total number of R&D personnel in the Institute of Artificial Intelligence exceeds 1, and will expand to 8000 in the future, reaching a scale of 8000.

Strive to create a complete artificial intelligence system in the shortest possible time and realize strong artificial intelligence as soon as possible.

Finally, it is the "Future Exploration Laboratory" that Lin Rui places high hopes on.

According to the plan, the newly established Future Exploration Laboratory will conduct research and development in five major areas, namely quantum computers, artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, virtual reality technology, and brain-computer interfaces.

Since artificial intelligence has been independent, at present, there are only four major research and development directions left.

To this end, Lin Rui allocated a total of 50 million US dollars and [-] billion yuan to test the water.

At present, the progress is good, and there are many breakthrough results.

The Future Exploration Laboratory currently has 1 R&D personnel, and Lin Rui plans to expand the number of recruits by another 1 to 2000 to strengthen the R&D strength of the Future Exploration Laboratory.

……

So far, the seven R&D branches of Starry Sky Research Institute, together with the Future Exploration Laboratory, have finally completed the preliminary sorting and planning.

A total of 73 billion U.S. dollars, and more than 450 billion yuan in appropriation.

Spent 45 billion U.S. dollars and nearly 300 billion yuan.

The remaining funding of the Xing Kong Research Institute is 28 billion US dollars, and more than 150 billion yuan.

These funds seem to be quite a lot. According to his plan just now, they are not enough to support the next expansion.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Rui finally made a decision to transfer 150 billion US dollars from overseas accounts and inject them into the Xingkong Research Institute.

In an instant, the research and development reserves of Starry Sky Research Institute this year reached 200 billion US dollars.

The best in the world!
