Chapter 219 Admission Standards and National University Scholars Restaurant
Zheng Shujia began her eloquent introduction: "Currently, our Singapore Science Park has implemented strict park admission standards. Every company or project entering the park must formally apply and can be established in the park only after being approved. Generally speaking, We evaluate from the following dimensions:
One is the technical content of the project. Projects must have a high proportion of high-tech research and development work and corresponding scientific research activities. We will reflect this data in terms of fixed asset investment per unit area and per capita processing value. The former indicates the capital intensity and technical components of a project. High fixed investment in equipment and facilities is a typical feature of technology intensity. The latter is a sign of the technical level of the project. Scientific research and development facilities employ high-level, high-wage personnel, so the amount of processing value is also high;
The second is the staff structure ratio of the project. The proportion of personnel engaged in scientific research and development is higher than that of personnel engaged in general production, sales, and administrative management. The scientific research and R&D level of a company can generally be seen from the ratio of its personnel composition between the number of people with a college degree or above and those without a college diploma. Reputable and fruitful scientific research and R&D projects often have a significant proportion of talent with advanced degrees;
The third is the proportion of scientific research and R&D work in the project. We will conduct a quality assessment on the scientific research and R&D components of the project. Some businesses that focus on production or services may score high on the quantitative parameters of ordinary industrial park admission assessments, but they may not necessarily be accepted here because these projects score low on design, development and scientific research. The absolute amount of a company's annual scientific research and R&D budget investment and its proportion to the entire business budget are also key indicators for us to evaluate whether a project can enter the park.
There are others such as the catalytic and strategic value of the project, the environmental impact of the project, etc..."
Listening to Zheng Shujia's introduction, Aaron beside him was already confused and fainted.
Li Xiaofan listened very clearly and knew that several core key indicators must meet their Ascendas Group's high-tech industry admission standards.
"Ms. Zheng, the conditions you mentioned just now seem to be set for those multinational enterprises and large companies. So if we are a research and development company that provides support for giants in the electronics and semiconductor industries such as HP and Teradyne, then it is This is an indispensable supporting project in the high-tech industry. The initial investment is not very large, but the personnel are all highly educated. They are mainly engaged in testing software and hardware R&D and services in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Is there any chance for a start-up project like ours to settle in? ?”
"Director Li, as you just mentioned, we have encountered many similar cases before. The high-tech electronics and semiconductor industry chain is very long, and we also understand the need to introduce some supporting high-tech small and medium-sized projects. Therefore, we have specially reserved space in the first phase of the R&D building for start-up high-tech projects like yours. However, they must undergo our strict review before entering the park. The relevant admission conditions basically refer to what we just mentioned. Several dimensions, but for excellent start-up high-tech projects, we will appropriately lower the conditions when evaluating..."
Later, Zheng Shujia handed them two blank application forms: "Mr. Li, if you are interested, you can submit a business plan and relevant supporting materials, fill out the application form, and then submit it to me together. We will We will notify you of the review results as soon as possible! ”
"Okay, thank you very much. Then I will come back to disturb you after I have prepared the information!"
"Well, if you have any questions, you can call us anytime!"
After coming out of the Ascendas Group Investment Promotion Department, Aaron looked at the entry requirements in the Singapore Science and Technology Park investment brochure and said in confusion: "Afan, with our poor academic qualifications, I don't think even one of them is qualified. Most R&D personnel must hold at least a bachelor's degree or above..."
Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "This is where I need some help. Come on, Aaron, I'll take you to NUS for dinner and meet two friends by the way!"
From the Singapore Science Park, the two took a taxi and arrived at the NUS Kent Ridge campus of the National University of Singapore in five minutes.
Then Li Xiaofan took Aaron to a Chinese restaurant on the first floor of the Kent Ridge Club of the National University of Singapore called "The Scholar" in English and "Xiucai" in Chinese.
At that time, the National University of Singapore (NUS) had the reputation of being the best university in Asia, but the food on campus also enjoyed a high reputation.
According to incomplete statistics at that time, the three campuses of the National University of Singapore, including Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and U-town, had a total of 4 canteens (restaurants and canteens), 4 food courts and cafes, and 5 kiosks (retail stores). Kiosks for drinks and food) and 18 small restaurants.
There are various types of food inside, and everything you need is available on the NUS campus.
Li Xiaofan and the others came to a large red signboard on the right side of the entrance of the Chinese restaurant where the two large Chinese characters "Xiucai" were particularly conspicuous.
Aaron burst out laughing after seeing it: "Haha, Xiucai, it's so interesting to name this restaurant in the National University of Singapore!"
Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Aaron, I will take you to meet our two real talents from mainland China later..."
After the two entered the Xiucai Restaurant, there were already two young people waiting for Li Xiaofan at a table by the window.
When they saw Li Xiaofan, they waved to him from a distance: "Hi, Afan, we are here!"
The two young men who waved to Li Xiaofan and the others were Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun
Last time at Clarke Quay, Tang Xinyi introduced Li Xiaofan to Huijuan, a master's student in journalism and communication at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Xinyi's best friend, roommate, classmate and girlfriend at Hwa Chong Institution. She also met Huijuan's boyfriend Lin Junfeng, a master's student in computer engineering at the School of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore.
Later, in the computer room of the School of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, she met two top students from China who came to NUS to study. Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun.
Pan Zhanlong graduated from the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China and is currently pursuing a doctorate degree at the School of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore. Gu Qijun graduated from Tsinghua University in China with a bachelor's degree in 1988 and is currently a master's student in computer engineering at the School of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore.
After meeting Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun in the computer room of the National University School of Computer Science last time, Li Xiaofan has been in contact with them. Occasionally, when he is free, he will go to their computer room to check the Internet and experience the joy of surfing the Internet. After that, he will invite them to have dinner and chat to learn about the latest scientific research information.
Later, after the computer in the office of Minghua Holdings was connected to the Internet, he came less often.
Before going out this morning, Li Xiaofan called Pan Zhanlong and Gu Qijun and made an appointment to invite them to have dinner together at this Xiucai Restaurant in the evening.
