Everyone was silent for a while, "Xu, we can't answer you now about this matter, we have to go back to the board of directors to make a decision" Daniel looked at Xu Ping'an and said.

"I understand, gentlemen, you have ten days, give me a reply within ten days, if there is no reply, it means that you have chosen to give up, I can't wait indefinitely" Xu Ping'an looked at everyone and said, all of them nodded seriously.

Everyone began to leave, Xu Ping'an sent everyone to the car before returning to the office, originally wanted to invite everyone to have another drink in the evening, but they all refused, and they didn't have the heart to drink again.

The next day, everyone left, and the matter had to go back and discuss it, and everyone was sure of the project's prospects, but how long it would take to realize this prospect, and the annual investment of billions of dollars was not a small amount.

Each company invests five or six billion dollars in R&D every year, although it is not high, but you must not underestimate it, these companies have a very thick foundation, and there is no need to spend particularly high research costs.

If you count this kind of perennial accumulation of experimental data, it is absolutely scary, the idea of the existence of these companies is not five years or ten years, but decades, and you can imagine how thick the foundation will be after so many years of accumulation.

This is the fundamental reason why it is difficult for ordinary other pharmaceutical companies to catch up with these top ten pharmaceutical companies, why Xu Ping'an invests heavily in scientific research, it is because Tianqi Group does not have this kind of scientific background, and must take money to smash out a foundation.

Decades of accumulated experimental data is the foundation of these companies, and only this foundation can give birth to a new generation of products, this fundamental gap is not so easy to catch up, it takes decades of time to invest a lot.

Xu Ping'an's annual investment of tens of billions of euros in scientific research is to catch up with this gap, you can't buy it with money, you can only buy the technology from ten years ago, and no one will sell you the technology within ten years.

The outside world is speculating about the negotiation between Tianqi Group and the top ten pharmaceutical groups, but neither side has revealed any news, but it is known that the chairmen of both sides sat down to talk once, and left Tianchao to return to the company two days later.

As soon as he came back, he began to worry about the board of directors, obviously discussing the conditions of cooperation, time passed slowly, this day, Xu Ping'an received a call from the shipyard, after evaluation, the original scientific research ship did not have the value of repair.

The impact of the volcanic eruption has caused irreparable damage to the hull, and according to the monitoring of the hull, many places look fine on the outside, the steel plate is already cracked inside, and the repair price is not much different from buying a new one.

A ship worth more than 40 million euros could only be scrapped, and when the news came out, many people were surprised, including the top ten pharmaceutical groups that were still in the meeting to discuss.

This kind of loss is really too big, not to mention the personnel, just the loss of the ship is too scary, this is not the end, a few days after the Apocalypse Oceanographic Research Institute announced that the eight single-person scientific research submarines involved in the rescue were all scrapped, and there is no repair value.

Added up, almost more than 300 million euros of funds have been lost, this kind of loss is really not something that ordinary companies can afford, scrapped scientific research ships and scientific research submarines will be disposed of as scrap iron after dismantling electronic equipment in a shipyard in the Celestial Empire, which is also a helpless thing.

The ten-day deadline passed quickly, and six of the top ten pharmaceutical groups clearly replied that they would not participate in the project, and only Roche, Eli Lilly, Novartis, and GlaxoSmithKline gave replies to participate in the project.

However, the issue of funding needs to be renegotiated.

As the plenipotentiary representative of the Apocalypse Group, Bruce went to the Swiss Roche Group to discuss the matter, and the representatives of the five companies gathered here to discuss the matter and strive to obtain a satisfactory result for everyone.

Unconsciously, half a month has passed, Tianqi Group, Roche Pharmaceutical Group, Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Group, Novartis Pharmaceutical Group, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceutical Group, and five groups have announced that they will invest heavily in continuing this new human project.

According to the agreement, four pharmaceutical groups will inject capital into the new human project of Tianqi Group, with Tianqi Group accounting for 51% of the shares, the remaining Roche pharmaceutical companies will contribute 2 billion euros and 13% of the shares, and the remaining three will each contribute 1.8 billion euros and account for 12% of the shares.

Every year, Tianqi Group invests 1.2 billion euros, Roche Pharma invests 1 billion euros, and the other three companies each invest 800 million euros, with a contract period of five years, and the cooperation will be renegotiated after five years.

The specific work is led by Tianqi Group, with Roche Pharmaceutical Group sending three people, and each of the remaining three pharmaceutical groups sending two senior researchers from related topics to join.

Tianqi Group needs to invest in a new scientific research ship and eight scientific research submarines, and the cost of scientific research ships and scientific research submarines is not included in the project funds, which Xu Ping'an agreed.

The four also sent a financial staff to have the right to audit the accounts, which Xu Ping'an also agreed, is the special fund earmarked, this article is very reasonable, there is no need to object.

The Apocalypse Oceanographic Research Institute has made a deal with the new human project team, and the personnel have been redistributed, and all the personnel costs of the project team have been accounted for separately from this month.

After the news came out, many people were shocked, including the six major pharmaceutical groups that did not participate, according to their expectations, no one would participate in this project, but they did not expect that there were still four companies involved in this project.

The annual funding of 4.6 billion euros is enough for this project to continue, Xu Ping'an's Tianqi Group accounts for more shares, but every year Tianqi Group also invests the most, and it is understandable that it accounts for more shares.

However, Tianqi Group did not suffer a loss, and the four companies also spent 7.8 billion euros to buy shares in order to join the project.

Outsiders were shocked and thought that Xu Ping'an had taken advantage, and Xu Ping'an directly issued a statement on social media that if there was any possibility, he would rather not have the 7.8 billion euros of funds to monopolize the project.

Seeing Xu Ping'an's reply, many people lost their voices, with the media reports, many things have been reported, Xu Ping'an gave the four pharmaceutical groups to release the government's participation, Xu Ping'an had no choice but to let go.

Xu Ping'an was really depressed, and after staying in J City for a few days, he left directly, and went to Jinling Song Xinyun to find comfort, Tianqi Island, and after the new scientific research ship was equipped with equipment, it set sail again and went to the area of the submarine volcanic eruption to investigate.

To see if the corals and small fish can survive, if they can't, they have to find another way, and another research ship is starting to search the earth for new submarine craters to see if they can find the same kind of creatures.

Italy's Bannon, extremely reluctant to start the production of scientific research submarines, if not for Xu Ping'an's order, Bannon would never have produced, small single attack submarines are selling hot, and the profits are much higher than scientific research submarines.

Last year, more than 400 ships were delivered, this year's delivery volume is definitely higher than last year, a new production line was completed in October last year, and this year to open up the speed of modular production, absolutely sharp.

Time passed slowly, early this morning, "Get up, uncle, it's time for breakfast" Song Xinyun shouted Xu Ping'an by the bedside, and Xu Ping'an woke up in a daze.

"What time is it?" asked Xu Ping'an.

"It's eleven forty," Song Xinyun said angrily.

Xu Ping'an came not to comfort himself, but to find comfort, which made Song Xinyun very dissatisfied, and there was no way, so he could only rely on Xu Ping'an's temperament.

"By the way, I'm going to buy a small gift in the past two days, Li Rulong's wedding is coming soon, let's go together, Xu Ping'an sat up and looked at Song Xinyun and said.

"Why don't you let your Yiyi accompany you" Song Xinyun said with an unhappy face, very dissatisfied with Xu Ping'an taking Miao Yiyi to other people's weddings.

"What kind of jealousy do old husbands and wives eat" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, Song Xinyun turned around with a blank look at Xu Ping'an, there was really no way to meet Xu Ping'an's cheekiness.

Xu Ping'an smiled, got up directly and went to wash, took a shower and changed clothes, and then left the house with Song Xinyun to go out to eat.

Next, the two went directly to buy gifts, the gift to Li Rulong Xu Ping'an had already been prepared, a luxury car of Jihao Company, has not been picked up, a few days ago I communicated with Jihao Company, and added more than 100,000 yuan for a new generation of luxury cars that had just been withdrawn.

Song Xinyun must also prepare a small gift when he goes to participate, when Xu Mingyang got married, Miao Yiyi gave Xu Mingyang's wife a jade pendant, and this year Song Xinyun accompanied Xu Ping'an to the past.

Jumping around, Song Xinyun picked out a set of earl couple watches, a set of 85,000, no counteroffer, Song Xinyun bought it directly, don't watch the movie and lose money, Song Xinyun is really not bad for money now.

Prepare at home, the two of them took a plane together and set off to QD, Li Rulong is dedicated to politics, no money, and Xu Ping'an is responsible for the accommodation of his brothers.

Directly opened a few rooms in a five-star hotel not far from the wedding venue, and Ma Bo and they all stayed here, and Xu Ping'an was responsible for the expenses.

The household appliances of Li Rulong's wedding room were arranged by Lin Yide, which was very complete, and the people from the branch came directly to install the wiring, and Xu Ping'an also sponsored a set of micro power generation devices at the top of the building.

The seafood for the wedding banquet was provided by Xu Mingyang, the tea industry was provided by Ma Bo, and the honeymoon after marriage was arranged by Zhang Wenyuan.
