As a Nobel Prize winner and having trained a Nobel Prize student, Krader is qualified to negotiate terms with investors.
But that doesn’t mean investors can do whatever they want.
Especially a consortium like Xia Yang is even less likely to make concessions to Krad at will.
After all, the reason why businessmen respect Krader is because they respect the wealth that his knowledge brings.
The same is true for Xia Yang.
What's more, with Ed's existence, scientists like Krader are not indispensable.
The reason why Xia Yang invited top scientists like Krader to join Leso and invested a lot of money in research and development was just to allow the emergence of advanced weapons such as Leso's Black Bat transport aircraft to protect Ed.
"Dr. Cradd, don't be so sure."
Xia Yang called Dr. Krader and the smile on his face disappeared.
Everyone could see that he was very dissatisfied, and that he was very concerned about the terms being set to death before even starting to talk about the project.
Suddenly the atmosphere became quiet.
The smile on Krader's face froze. He didn't expect Xia Yang to be so direct when talking about business matters, and he wouldn't give in even an inch.
"Mr. Xia, you should know that there is no shortage of investors for my project."
Krader looked directly at Xia Yang.
Xia Yang smiled lightly and said, "Dr. Krader, I admit that your project does not lack investors, but the problem is that you appeared in Ukraine today, and you also showed up with my fighter jet factory, and you appeared in front of me accurately."
After Xia Yang finished speaking, Krader smiled awkwardly. Apparently, Xia Yang saw through the little trick he and Alina had colluded with.
Alina secretly gritted her teeth and had to stand up, "Mr.
You apologize."
Alina apologized to Xia Yang.
Luo Gang stood aside without saying a word, because Alina and Clad were the first to look for him.
But because Xia Yang positioned the three Antonov companies as processing plants, Luo Gang refused without hesitation.
In fact, even if Xia Yang allows the Antonovs and the other three companies to engage in research and development, Luo Gang will reject Krad's project. The reason is very simple. Krad's project is nuclear fusion.
As we all know, unlike nuclear fission, which has a low utilization rate and high pollution, nuclear fusion has an ultra-high energy utilization rate and is pollution-free, making it a recognized future energy.
However, nuclear fusion technology is extremely difficult and the investment is even greater.
For example, the temperature that produces nuclear fusion is as high as hundreds of millions of degrees. There is no material that can withstand such temperatures. Electromagnetic field constraints can only be used.
Therefore, nuclear fusion involves many sub-projects, such as super-temperature, super materials, electromagnetic field confinement and other top sciences.
I don’t know how much money I have to spend to see hope.
In the entire Blue Star, only a few countries such as the United States dare to throw money into this bottomless pit.
Xia Yang also spent a lot of money on nuclear fusion, materials, and electromagnetic projects, but most of them were just for weaponization, and the investment was not very large.
"Of course I'm interested in Dr. Krader's project, but that doesn't mean I can accept excessive demands. Forget it, I'll read the project document first."
Xia Yang glanced at Alina and said nothing more.
Alina smiled gratefully and personally took the project document from Krad and handed it to Xia Yang. Of course she knew that Xia Yang was so easy to talk to because of her face.
Xia Yang looked through the project book, and everyone at the scene waited quietly.
Krader's project book was of course written in English, after all, most academic papers around the world are in English.
In addition, the professional books that Xia Yang had been reading for so long were not in vain. He had no problem understanding Krad's project book.
But after flipping through a few pages of Krader's nuclear fusion project book, he frowned.
Then just put the project book together and return it to Alina.
Suddenly, the faces of Alina, Krad and his students darkened. It was obvious that Xia Yang was not very interested in Krad's nuclear fusion project.
"Mr. Xia, except that the project research and development site is located in Ukolan, everything else can be discussed."
Krader persuaded with a smile, his tone and attitude softened a lot.
There is no way, the investment in nuclear fusion is too big, it is a bottomless pit, and Ukolan has no money to invest at all.
Clad also found many investors, but when he heard about the nuclear fusion project, most of them ran away.
And if Xia Yang can be made to agree to invest in nuclear fusion and locate the R&D headquarters in Ukolan, then it goes without saying that it will definitely give a strong impetus to Ukolan's technological development.
"Mr. Xia, Dr. Krader is right. If you have any conditions, I can satisfy you on behalf of the Ukolan capital."
Alina followed suit.
Seeing the pleading in Alina's eyes, Xia Yang sighed, "It's not that I don't want to talk, but you are too greedy. There are so many sub-projects involved in nuclear fusion, and Dr. Clad actually wants to set up a project and invest in research and development, and put all the research and development in Ukraine.
Kelan, so I can't agree at all, because nuclear fusion research and development involves some sub-projects, such as materials, electromagnetics and other fields. Our Leso started research and development two years ago, so it is impossible for me to move Leso's R&D department.
To Ukolan.”
"In addition, the talents in Ukraine cannot meet the needs of the entire nuclear fusion project. Dr. Krader, you said yourself, if all the nuclear fusion projects were placed in Ukraine, would there be so many talents in Ukraine?
Not to mention talents, hardware facilities such as supercomputers cannot be provided?"
Xia Yang told him the reason for his refusal.
Perhaps Krad hoped that science and technology would develop rapidly in his hometown of Ukolan, so he wanted to develop many sub-projects involved in nuclear fusion, such as materials, electromagnetic confinement, etc., and he also set up the research and development of these projects in Ukolan.
Coran.
But the problem is that Ukolan does not have that much talent at all. The most troublesome thing is that Ukolan cannot provide some of the top equipment for developing nuclear fusion.
For high-end projects such as nuclear fusion and cutting-edge research and development equipment such as supercomputers, Ukolan simply cannot meet them and they all need to be imported.
These devices are often very cutting-edge and are basically restricted by the United States and other countries, and Ukraine cannot even buy them with money.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, many nuclear fusion projects have already been developed in Spur, so it is impossible for Xia Yang to move these R&D departments to Ukraine. If he has to move, he will face serious problems.
brain drain.
After all, not everyone wants to live in Ukolan.
Therefore, if the R&D department of Leso must be moved to Ukolan, the consequence will be that Xia Yang will receive a lot of resignation letters.
He would not accept this situation under any circumstances.
Facing Xia Yang's questioning, Krader was speechless. He knew Ukolan's situation better than anyone else, but it was precisely because of this that he returned to his hometown to change everything.
Alina also fell silent.
Seeing that both Krad and Alina didn't say anything, Xia Yang gave up. Then, to Alina's surprise, he said, "But if you are willing to agree to my two conditions, it is not impossible to invest in the nuclear fusion project."
After all, top scientists like Krad couldn't even be invited to his doorstep, so Xia Yang certainly wouldn't let him go if he sent it to his door. He had said so much before, it was just a simple bargaining, and he could successfully kill Krad's arrogance.
"Thank you, President Xia!"
After a sudden turn of events, Alina held Xia Yang's hand in surprise and expressed her gratitude.
Krader and his students were equally delighted.
"What are the conditions, Mr. Xia?" Alina asked.
"First, it is impossible for the R&D headquarters to be located in Ukolan. Second, Spereso has started research and development of nuclear fusion a long time ago, so your side can only serve as a supplement, and Speleso's side is the main one. With these two conditions, you
If you agree, we can continue to talk, if not, you can only find other investors."
Xia Yang said simply.
Krad wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Alina.
"Okay, we accept these conditions."
Alina knows Xia Yang's temper, and if Clad is stubborn, the negotiation will definitely collapse, and she can't even get a penny of Xia Yang's investment.
Alina agreed, and Clad had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. Although he was unwilling to do so, he didn't say anything more, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Xia Yang nodded and turned to Luo Gang to explain, "You will be responsible for this nuclear fusion project. Check Speraiso's side. The undeveloped projects are all placed in Wucolan. In addition, equipment such as supercomputers should be shipped over as soon as possible.
.”
"Okay, Mr. Xia."
Luo Gang agreed, and at the same time he knew what he was doing, and selected some projects to be developed in Wucolan, such as sensitive projects such as electromagnetic constraints. At most, Dr. Krader could do some theoretical research, forget about manufacturing or anything like that.
.
In addition, in terms of purchasing equipment, equipment such as supercomputers must be purchased from Lianhua Electronics in Bay Island. After all, it is our own company.
"Mr. Xia, happy cooperation!"
After getting Xia Yang to invest again, Alina smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Xia Yang.
Although Xia Yang only agreed to pick some projects that Speraiso had not developed and put them into Ukraine for development, for cutting-edge projects like nuclear fusion, the investment in any sub-project would be more than a billion or even billions of dollars.
“A pleasure to work with!”
Xia Yang was equally happy. He put some unimportant projects in Ukolan for research and development. Not only did he get Dr. Krader, a top talent, but he also made use of Ukolan's cheap R&D talents to speed up the research and development progress and win.
Next, Krader said goodbye and left with the students.
