Chapter 070 For Science
Siji Pavilion Private Club is located near the Bund of the Huangpu River. Standing by the window of the private room, you can see a brightly lit night view.
The river water ripples under the hazy night, and the crowds of people on the bank by the river have become a beautiful scenery in my eyes.
In the elegant and spacious private room, there are exquisite ornamental fragrances placed in the corner, and the sound of the smoke is straight upward, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland.
In a corner of the private room, in front of a screen embroidered with peony flowers, the beautiful woman with her hair tied high behind her head played the piano with her armrest. While her slender fingers gently waved the strings, graceful notes kept echoing in the room.
At the dining table filled with delicious delicacies, the young woman wearing cheongsam bowed her head and waited for the appointment at any time.
At this time, the old man surnamed Lu, wearing Zhongshan suit, ordered a large table of dishes in front of him with his hands, and said with a bad tone:
"Xiao Wu, I know that the richer you are, the more you cry poorer you are. Not to mention anything else, I am afraid that you can't get it without more than 100,000 yuan. This money is enough for me to add two new equipment in the laboratory."
Lu Benqiang is 68 years old this year, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is currently the dean of the School of Life Sciences, Tan University, the deputy director of the Magic City School of Life Sciences. He is a veritable top boss.
Sun Shangwu is 44 years old this year. More than 20 years ago, he was a student of Dean Lu.
Of course, one day, one day, and lifelong teacher, and this President Lu was kind to Sun Shangwu at that time, so even now, Sun Shangwu still respects the old man in front of him very much.
Sun Shangwu, who was more attentive than the waiter beside him, picked up food for the old man and served soup for the old man. Even if he was scolded by the old man, he just nodded and received teaching, and there was absolutely no disrespect.
When Chu Mo, who saw all this, put down the tableware in his hand, Tao Yun beside him picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth like a heart-warming relationship.
Looking at the sweet smiling face of the girl beside her, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her heart and said softly:
"How is it? Are you used to it?"
Hearing this, the girl who was slightly closer to her seemed to tell some little secret. After gently approaching her ear, she exclaimed as if she was talking about something:
"Some of it can't be let go, but I will try my best to get used to it."
Chu Mo nodded with a smile, and after the other person sat upright, he also put his mouth close to the other person's earlobe. Looking at the girl's delicate and white skin, he spoke in a low voice while whispering:
"Actually, I don't like it very much. I have to chew it carefully and swallow it slowly whenever I eat. Next time I will take you to have a meal alone. Then there are only two of us, so you can eat whatever you want."
The girl's cheeks were slightly red and her tender eyes were even more charming.
At this time, Sun Shangwu, opposite the dining table, also put down his bowls and chopsticks. The big guy with a net worth of tens of billions said in a rough and unrestrained voice:
"Teacher Lu, please give us a clear idea. How much research fund do you need?"
The old man named Lu Benqiang looked slightly hesitant. Scientific research on such things was full of various uncertainties.
Even though he is a master, he still cannot give very accurate data. However, after hesitating for a while, the old man who gritted his teeth slightly spoke softly:
"This time I was hosting a study on biodiversity and evolutionary biology, exploring life phenomena and basic laws from the perspective of macroscopic and microbiology. The research direction is genetic diversity and biosecurity...
Those involved in this research include me, two postdoctoral fellows, one PhD in biology, six masters, and a graduate student I taught. We have been doing this research for four years, which is a kind of scientific research that has slow results and requires continuous investment.
The support we have on the above is indeed quite strong, but we have been trapped in a bottleneck in the past year and have never made any major breakthroughs.
So even I am not feeling shameless about asking for funds. However, the United States recently developed a new equipment. We have studied it. If this equipment can be introduced, it will play a crucial role in our research.
However, with the U.S. urinary nature, they must be a sky-high price for this kind of equipment... Conservatively estimated that the introduction of equipment will cost at least 100 million yuan, and with the subsequent research costs, there will be at least 200 million to 300 million yuan."
After the old man's faint words fell, Sun Shangwu, who had a serious expression, suddenly clapped his hands. For a moment, the sound of the piano in the room immediately disappeared. Then, all the irrelevant personnel, including the cheongsam woman and several waiters, left the private room.
At this time, the eyes of several people were all focused on Chu Mo.
Three hundred million is just the price of a villa No. 8.
Chu Mo, the Bafang International Hotel, which costs 3 billion, doesn’t take Chu Mo seriously, so this little money is naturally no problem.
However, if you have money, you must not be regarded as a fool after spending money. Therefore, it is still necessary to bargain.
He gently held up the golden glasses on the bridge of his nose, and Chu Mo, who looked plain, said casually:
"Money is not a problem, but how can I ensure that my investment can get corresponding returns?
Three hundred million, not three thousand yuan, it’s not too much, and it’s not too little.”
Seeing Chu Mo's indifferent expression, the old man with a bookish scent frowned slightly. The old man was about to refute something, but Sun Shangwu, who was standing beside him, immediately interfered:
"Brother Chu, Teacher Lu's biggest guarantee is that he can sit here. He will not take it seriously for 300 million to 500 million.
I am also because I am tight on my hands during this period, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you, brother. In this way, this is guaranteed. If you lose money in the end or don’t get the corresponding benefits, I will give you as much as you pay."
After the words fell, Sun Shangwu turned to the old man next to him again, and said earnestly:
"Teacher Lu, you can't blame Mr. Chu for being cautious in this matter. After all, no one's money is blown by the strong wind. The investment of hundreds of millions of yuan cannot be a small amount for me.
Moreover, the money invested by the above in the early stage of this project. Even if the results are really released in the later stage, there will inevitably be some mistakes. I know that you are a noble teacher, but you may not be sure that others have no ideas.
Brother Chu is the one I found, and I can’t really see him suffer a loss, right? As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand a dangerous wall, I think it’s better for us to set up various terms in advance.
In this way, Teacher Lu, you can use money comfortably, and Brother Chu can invest with confidence."
After hearing this, the old man who was a little dissatisfied, his expression slightly relaxed a lot. When he placed his eyes on the young man opposite him again, the old man with a serious face nodded and said:
"Zheng Chu, we're dealing with each other for the first time. You may not know much about me. I am a researcher and I like to say something.
The department did spend a lot of money in the early stage of this project, but it has not been achieved for several years. It is also half-given. It is basically difficult to want money now. However, this is the effort of our entire group for four or five years, and no one can bear to give up.
Mr. Chu, if you are willing to invest money and achieve results, I will talk to the above and will never treat you badly.
If someone really wants to pick peaches, I will not let them succeed even if I try to win this old face. I can only say this to this point. How to do it depends on your considerations."
A college teacher who enjoys the allowance of China is personally responsible for the insurance. With Sun Shangwu as the second guarantor, Chu Mo basically doesn't have to worry about being picked by someone.
Even if you take a step back, if this project has not achieved any results or if something went wrong halfway, Chu Mo didn't take it seriously for an investment of 300 million yuan.
If you can make friends with a college teacher and get the other party’s favor, the investment of 300 million cannot be said to be in vain.
Turning his eyes to Tao Yun, who was so energetic, and after seeing the girl's longing, he nodded gently, picked up Chu Mo who was in front of him and said sincerely:
