Chapter 289 Director Jiang is rushing to put the duck on the shelf
Director Ding does not understand English, Zheng Zhanger is confused, and does not know what the two parties are talking about. He looks at the other professors around him, and several professors around him are also frowning and thinking. .
It seems that the foreigner has a request for us. Professor Jiang seems to be bargaining, but he can't understand a word. Director Ding is anxious.
Director Jiang looked like a scholar and nodded to Mr. Ram, confirming Mr. Ram's level of understanding.
Seeing that Director Jiang could not lift the butcher's knife, Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to kill himself.
"Yes, Mr. Ram, we can write this into the contract, but Mr. Ram, your understanding of this technology is too low. Its value and research difficulty are far beyond It’s far from what a few million dollars can match.”
Mr. Ram nodded subconsciously. It really wants to improve efficiency by two hundred times. What is that? It’s an epoch-making technology that cannot be achieved with just a few million dollars. of.
Seeing that Mr. Ram agreed with his statement, Zhu Xuefeng became more confident.
"I hope you will go back and study with you again how an epoch-making technology can bring changes to your world."
Yes, it can bring to our world What kind of changes will it bring? The most common things in my hometown are deserts and seas. If we have this technology, might there be more lovely oases?
Mr. Ram left in a hurry. If Mr. Jiang's technology can really be realized, it is indeed not his choice. Mr. Zhu's quotation also exceeded his right to make a decision. After all, he was just an errand boy, and the sponsor benefited. Only they have soup to drink.
"Lao Jiang, what kind of high-tech do you have? You just quoted five million US dollars per year, and asked for another fifteen million US dollars if the research is successful, and then you will be given the design drawings. All the technology will be returned. We have to keep it secret. We have to build the factory. Isn’t it too harsh?”
Director Jiang was also confused. Zhu Xuefeng’s swing of the sword was too much. Thirty million, when he helps build the factory, It was definitely another astonishing figure. Xiao Zhu was so ruthless that he accidentally scared the rich man away.
Seeing that Director Jiang was still deep in thought, Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to stand up with a smile and explain.
“They will definitely agree. You may not understand the desert’s desire for fresh water, not to mention that their country is carrying out national agricultural development activities. The desire for fresh water is just like our need for foreign exchange.”
Zhu Xuefeng is very confident. A hundred times the efficiency is conservative. The white turban cannot withstand such temptation.
"Then you want too much. Maybe they will be scared away. Besides, your technology hasn't come out yet. I think this thing is quite mysterious. If you had opened less just now, , I guess it will work, and it’s yours to make the profit, alas.”
“Professor Zhou, don’t be discouraged, I guess they will come again, even if they can’t accept the price, they will come to bargain, it should be. They can’t be scared away, after all, they can’t let go of Professor Jiang’s description and promise.”
Professor Zhou sighed, “I hope so. If it can be done, our school will be recognized by the country. Great work."
Six or seven professors were already in the room, and they all took notice. At this time, Director Ding also understood that Zhu Xuefeng had embarked on a very big project, but I don’t know if it scares people away. This is no longer a lion opening its mouth. This is opening a seaport.
"Mr. Abbas, this is what the Chinese say, a hundred times is the minimum. They ensure that the research can be successful and are willing to write it into the contract. Moreover, fifteen million is not a one-time handover, it can be five million per year."
“But when all research is successful, the total amount shall not be less than 30 million. It is also required that for every completion one year ahead of schedule, a reward of 5 million must be awarded. If the efficiency exceeds 100 times, the two parties will negotiate amicably within three years. If it is not completed, all our support funds will be returned.”
Mr. Abbas is also very interested. Although the funding request is much larger, it also shows that China is very confident. Although the money is a lot, But the average is only 10 million per year, which is not too much. Compared with my expectations, it is still acceptable.
“Since they are willing to write into the contract, this shows that they are very confident, and they also proposed a hundred-fold efficiency improvement as a guarantee, which shows that their technology is indeed far superior to the current technical level. This is a rare opportunity. "
He turned his head and looked at Mr. Ram again, his tone eager to get confirmation again.
"You mean, they can still complete the research ahead of schedule, right? This shows that they are not far away from success. Major breakthroughs should also be true. For us, one year earlier is far from five hundred Thousands of problems."
"As for academic fraud, I don't think it exists. By then we will be a contract between countries, and the credibility of the Chinese people in this matter is unquestionable."
Mr. Abbas walked back and forth in the room for a long time before he stopped.
“Do you need to say whether it is appropriate to build a hundred factories or one factory? Not to mention the site, construction, and skilled workers. The gap is too big. This is a gift from Allah. We have to grasp our blessings.”
“I personally think it is very necessary. It not only solves the fresh water problem, but also improves relations with China. It will be normal to visit several times a year in the future. , with the close contact, my dear Mr. Ram, do you think we can also talk about other things later?”
"China is not just a big country. He has taught everyone a lesson. If possible, I would like to send people to learn from their experience. This is a great country. There was Genghis Khan before, but now..."
La Mr. Mu's eyes also lit up. Mr. Abbas's ideas were far from being limited to seawater desalination. It was not only possible to obtain urgently needed weapons, but also to learn the most powerful combat experience. Mr. Abbas was really far-sighted.
"Great Allah, you have brought a guiding light to our nation!"
Mr. Abbas smiled, he finally found a very suitable breakthrough, and it is very possible that It has brought a major breakthrough to the country. This time it is really the right time. The prince’s idea is really wonderful and his luck is also very good. Thank God, Amen.
"You should reply to them now. I, Muhad Abbas, have agreed to China's request. I will arrange for people to go to China for detailed negotiations and sign a contract on the spot in the near future. Even if the royal family does not Agree, I will also work with other families to pay for this money!"
"I will contact the royal family now. You should tell them our intentions first, and you must take good care of our distinguished friends, hahahaha."
When Director Jiang worriedly complained about Zhu Xuefeng and waved the butcher knife too hard, the unexpected good news almost made him rude in front of foreign friends.
"Mr. Jiang, we are willing to fund your project research. We hope that after the research is successful, our needs will be solved first. Specific negotiations will begin soon after our representatives go to your country. , look forward to your success!”
“Xiao Zhu, it’s really yours, how do you know they will agree, this is 30% of the national treasury’s foreign exchange,” Zhu Xuefeng was the only one in the room who knew that the white scarf meant The currency unit is two orders of magnitude different from the domestic understanding. We cautiously indicated that one million would be sold for one kicker. The white turban was overjoyed and thought that only one hundred million was too cheap.
The 30 million quoted this time seems to be too low. Fortunately, it still leaves room for friendly negotiation between the two parties, which is a hundred times more. I hope to get another one.
"Professor Jiang and Comrade Xiao Zhu, if this is really done, you have made a great contribution. Are you really confident that you can complete the research?"
Looking at Director Ding, he felt a little confused. Director Jiang said calmly, unsure and looking forward to it.
"Director Ding, after we come out, we will not represent individuals, but the country. Without absolute confidence, we will not offer such a high price. Please believe us."
Director Ding was overjoyed when he received Director Jiang's approval and held Director Jiang's hand tightly.
"Professor Jiang, thank you. This news is so important. I have to report it quickly. The relevant departments have to hurry up and prepare. You all need to eat and chat first, and I will report it first."
Seeing Director Ding rushing to report, Zhu Xuefeng quickly stopped him.
"Director Ding, you have to make it clear that this is Director Jiang's idea and train of thought. The leader of the research project is Director Jiang, and now it is Director Jiang's team."
Director Ding was stunned. After a moment, he nodded as if he remembered something again.
“Yes, Director Jiang is leading this project now.”
Director Jiang looked at Zhu Xuefeng in confusion, what was going on, how could he be alone, and when he was about to speak, Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, so he had to wait for a while and let Zhu Xuefeng explain himself.
“This project must be led by you. As for whether it is the Department of Physics or the joint Department of Geophysics and the Department of Chemistry, this is what you and the school have to consider. You are the head of the Department of Physics. This matter only If you come forward, don’t look at me. Without your organization and coordination, this team cannot be built.”
An unexpected news spread to more than two thousand kilometers away, causing no less shock. Due to the power of an atomic bomb, the relevant departments in the entire capital were shocked. Normally, this kind of thing would not be reported until it was settled, but the yield was so great that even the higher-ups were surprised. An ordinary academic exchange , embarked on such a big project.
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room. Many people expressed doubts and denied that there were relevant scientific research projects in China. Some people were worried that if it could not be completed in three years, all the investment would be wasted and people would be lost internationally. .
Finally, the majestic body stood up, waved his hands, and made the final decision.
“I think we must believe in our comrades. If they have confidence, I will be determined to provide them with the best guarantee. As for when the research will be completed, I don’t think we should make a decision and let them follow their instructions. I will support my own plan until it comes out. If anyone tries to play tricks on me in this matter, the country will definitely not agree to it, and the people will not agree either..."
Thick local accent, cadence. Instructions were issued. Fortunately, the foreign guests had not yet started to contact the country, and the time of their visit could not be determined at the moment. Otherwise, the two of them would have to return to the capital immediately.
Zhu Xuefeng didn't know about this. The racks in the port city had been set up. Zhu Xuefeng had been locked up in the hotel these days, sorting out research ideas and sketching out plans in detail with Director Jiang.
Zhu Xuefeng also needs to find time to complete the uniform sketches needed by Chen Dong, the design plan for the first floor, and the new radio designed based on the transistors of his childhood. He also needs to put forward specific welding and installation requirements for radio production. As for Song Yan and the others don't have time to take into account their future training plans.
I didn’t expect that for an academic exchange, I would arrange myself so intensely, and there was not enough time. Seeing that the meeting was about to end, Zhu Xuefeng reluctantly completed the task.
"Director Jiang, I have to ask you to take this suit back for me. This is a little thought of mine. Please pass it on to me."
According to the regulations, after the meeting, everyone will return together and are not allowed to stay in Xiangjiang. Zhu Xuefeng couldn't argue with a small book in front of so many people, so he had no choice but to come back.
Just as he was saying goodbye to Director Jiang, who had to go back quickly to report to the school and his superiors, and to make necessary preparations for the upcoming negotiation, Zhu Xuefeng used the excuse that he had emptied everything in his stomach. I couldn't help him if I went back. I had to prepare for the Canton Fair later, so I stayed here.
"After finishing the work, come back early. This project must be highly valued at all levels. I admit that you pushed me to the front, but the idea is yours. I will confess to the superiors when I go back. I did this at that time "
Zhu Xuefeng was shocked and finally pushed Director Jiang to the front so that he could stay. If his name also appeared in the materials of this research project, why would he participate? The Canton Fair will have to go back to the capital in minutes.
"Director, please help me. I really can't show up. I have no choice but to do it. Besides, the school is embarking on such a big project and asking a student to take the lead. No matter how funny it is, no one can believe that it can succeed. Ah, I can’t even put up a show, so you should work harder and do whatever it takes.”
“For the sake of the country’s interests and the peace of mind of the leaders, this burden can only be shouldered by you. If you take my place, I guess it will be the responsibility of the country. They won’t agree to sign the contract, don’t you think so?”
Director Jiang is also struggling in his heart. What Zhu Xuefeng said makes sense. It would be a joke to let a student be the leader of this project. It's impossible, the project will be ruined, the contract will definitely be gone, and the huge sum of money will disappear before your eyes.
In the end, Director Jiang sighed and admitted, "Okay, I will be responsible, but you must come back early. There are some things I have to ask you..."
Zhu Xuefeng immediately He promised in a serious manner, and opening his mouth was a guarantee.
"No problem, I'll come back when things are almost done here. However, you have to promise not to say my name in advance, or never say it."
"You, you, are indifferent to fame and fortune. It doesn’t mean that no names will appear in the research project, okay, I promise you first, respect your wishes, and we will study it after we come back.”
Seeing Director Jiang and his entourage embark on their return journey, Zhu Xuefeng also returned to Xiangjiang immediately. It's easy to get through with a small notebook, but it's difficult to get through with just the resident status of Xiangjiang. You must have a proof of return home and visit relatives stamped with a local seal to pass through the port.
This thing is very troublesome. You must first send a letter to the place where you need to visit relatives and apply. The local department approves the application, and then send it back. You can take this certificate of returning home to visit relatives and then go to the Hong Kong government to apply. When you return home, you must have everything ready to pass.
