At noon the next day, Professor Jiang almost couldn't hold back, wondering if he would call Feng Yiping again, but he also understood that as soon as the second call was made, he would not have the initiative, but if he didn't call, he really couldn't find investment for a while.

While he was struggling, Buchanan finally called.

Listening to his self-introduction, Professor Jiang behaved very coldly, but how could his little skill affect Buchanan?

"I'm in Washington right now talking to the Department of Homeland Security about cooperation, and then I'm scheduled to meet with Chicago city officials, and tomorrow night, with dinner, I can squeeze in about two hours, do you have time to come to Washington, D.C., and have dinner with me?"

Buchanan behaved more politely than he did, and to talk, yes, you came here to work.

"It just so happens that the Department of Energy has been calling me over to talk about the appropriation, so I'll arrange time," although I don't know what Buchanan is busy with, but Professor Jiang can now be sure that this Feng Yiping, in the United States, in addition to that book, still has a little career.

However, even if he begged for someone and called him away, it seemed too urgent, and he came up with a reason.

"Department of Energy, do you need help? I knew a lot of people in the Senator's office when I was there,"

The day before and after, Buchanan has inquired clearly, the Ministry of Energy allocated funds to the A123 company to build, I heard that there were not many people who originally supported it, after all, the production of lithium batteries now, is not like Musk's later production of electric vehicles, is a pioneering technology and industry, Japanese manufacturers, in the lithium battery area, whether it is technology, or market. All have an absolute advantage.

Later, it was the Chinese scientist from the Ministry of Energy who strongly advocated that the Ministry of Energy allocated $100,000 to Professor Jiang, but in fact, it was really just a symbolic meaning, at most it was an acknowledgement.

Actually, that's pretty good.

The Bush administration put forward the concept of a new energy economy, which is also clear to Buchanan, an insider. It's just that just like the Clinton administration's proposal for the information superhighway, it hopes to occupy the commanding heights in this new field.

As for the specific actions, it will definitely be after the Middle East is firmly controlled, and then they will talk about emissions everywhere, fool the whole world, and throw money at this piece according to the standards they have set, and only then will it be then. will subsidize related technologies and companies in a big way, such as Tesla, until Comrade Ohei comes to power, and then get an interest-free loan from the government, as for now, hehe!

"No, I'm acquainted with Secretary Abraham," Professor Chiang didn't expect to meet a man from Capitol Hill. How dare you ask him to help, won't it be knocked off?

"That's good. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow night," Buchanan, who is familiar with A123's current situation, is very relaxed, and he has long known what Professor Jiang is worried about, and as for the things that he is very familiar with the Minister of Energy, he has not taken it to heart at all.

Come on. Do you think I didn't know you hadn't even met the minister?

Professor Jiang couldn't relax, he knew from the phone that the other party was definitely not a foolish person, and young people nowadays were so troublesome. Do you have to find someone to do everything? Can you still cooperate happily?

…………

Before the meeting, Professor Jiang still wondered if it was possible that Buchanan, the so-called vice president in charge of American affairs at Jiasheng, had come out of Capitol Hill? Feng Yiping was so young, where could he invite such a person?

When he got to the restaurant, he put away his last bit of luck, which was a membership-only high-end restaurant that didn't accept customers other than members, and the members weren't really those people on Capitol Hill -- for example, at this meeting, he saw three senators talking and laughing with people, that is, people from public relations firms and consulting firms, and these people generally have experience working on Capitol Hill or federal government departments.

"I'm sorry," Buchanan said with a smile and apologized to Professor Jiang after ending his greeting with a person, "His boss is the chairman of the New Energy Appropriations Committee,"

Hearing this, Professor Jiang was a little happy, it seems that you still attach great importance to my project, otherwise, why do you start to inquire about relevant policies now?

He picked up the aperitif and took a sip, "This government is still very supportive of the new energy field,"

Before Buchanan could say anything to him, he hurriedly stood up and greeted a man who had just entered, "Your Excellency,"

Needless to say, another councillor came in.

Seeing that Buchanan was having a good conversation with these big names, how could Professor Jiang still have any doubts about his resume?

"I'm sorry," Buchanan sat down, apologizing again.

"It's okay," Professor Chiang said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Buchanan is on Capitol Hill and has a lot of friendships,"

"Oh, I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about it, looking for the New Energy Appropriation Committee, not to understand the allocation of batteries, ACP company you know, that's a company with new energy vehicles as the direction, we also have shares, I look for him, is to understand the current federal government, the policy on new energy vehicles,"

"I see," Professor Jiang took another big sip of aperitif, but this time he was a little anxious, "It seems that Xiao Feng is very interested in new energy,"

"However, he and all of us have always believed that the main thing is to increase investment in such a comprehensive project as the car, and work the integration, as for the various branches of new energy vehicles under the technology, there is no need to invest too much money and energy, there should be a lot of choices, in this era of more and more detailed division of labor, there is no need, and it is impossible to do everything,"

After hearing this, and thinking of talking to Feng Yiping on the phone, he was obviously not as enthusiastic as before, and Professor Jiang couldn't even speak now.

It's not good to talk too much, seeing his face, Buchanan pulled back again, "The problem now is that we have too many idle funds in our accounts, but there are not many suitable projects,"

"Our project is absolutely very good, our battery technology is absolutely world-class, as long as it can be mass-produced, it will definitely be applied in many aspects," Professor Jiang immediately rushed to say.

At this time, how could he have the arrogance of Lao Tzu's technology that stands alone in the world when Feng Yiping came to the door, and it has a far-reaching influence and a great relationship?

"I heard that Professor Chiang's project hasn't started yet," Buchanan said with a smile.

Since verifying Buchanan's identity, Professor Jiang now, how dare he fool him with the statement that he told Feng Yiping that things are going well and that he is increasing his capital?

To be honest, "Yes, but all the preparatory work has been prepared, including the production process and process, which have also been carefully and scientifically designed, and it will be put into production as soon as the funds are in place."

Buchanan didn't answer his words, now, it should be to let this professor follow his baton, "Yiping said, he admires a scholar like Professor Jiang, and he promises that in the future, he will definitely build a world-class laboratory, and there is no cap on the cost,"

…………

In the evening, Feng Yiping, who had actually been paying attention to the progress in this area, received a call from Buchanan, "Feng, I finally know why you ask for control," Buchanan said with a wry smile on the phone, "This Professor Jiang's ability in business is comparable to his ability in scientific research,"

"What's the result?" Feng Yiping asked with a smile.

"I'll hang him first, but I think it's not far from ten, and in a few days, this matter will be done according to your wishes,"

"Then I'll thank you in advance!"

"Why, did you pick up any money on the way? Why did you smile like a fox who stole a chicken," Huang Jingping, who looked at him hanging up the phone and was still happy, was comfortable, and was lying on the sofa with a big belly.

"Hehe, it's similar," Feng Yiping leaned on her big belly and listened, "Our little guy's old man will be richer,"

In fact, what makes him even happier now is not how much income the investment is about to be reached, but when he came to the door last year, Professor Jiang, who was so coaxed by the cow, now meekly lowered his high head, this feeling, that is, quite comfortable! )
