And Li Xi couldn't hear Guan Qin speak for a long time, so he couldn't help asking, "What?"

Guan Qin smiled reluctantly, "I feel that what you said is a bit too mysterious, I said whether what you said is true or false, how does it feel like telling a story." ”

Li Xi said: "You feel like you're telling a story, that's because you haven't experienced it yourself, so you feel mysterious, what's more, the plants I said about cultivating are all mythical and legendary plants, and it sounds too far away to you." However, since these plants can be explained by scientific methods, if you want to cultivate them, as long as you continue to study them in that direction, even if you can't study them, sooner or later, you can still cultivate them. ”

"Okay. Guan Qin listened to this explanation in a daze, but because of this, knowing that Li Xi was not joking, he immediately asked: "Then what do you mean is that you plan to establish a research institute, and then find many researchers to specialize in the kind of research you mentioned?"

Li Xi said: "Yes. ”

Guan Qin couldn't help but say what she cared about, "Then how much money are you going to invest?"

Obviously, in such a matter, it is not a question of how to study it, or who to study. It's a question of how much money to invest, and money is obviously an integral part of success in any matter. In particular, the amount of money required for such research is unimaginably huge.

If Li Xi can really put a lot of money into this research, then even if he can't do it, I believe that such a thing is true. It must also be enough to attract the attention of others. If it's just a small fight. Direct investment is tens of millions. Hundreds of millions of dollars go in, in the eyes of others, I'm afraid it's just a farce in the end.

Despite such a high level of funding, it seems to be quite a lot. But it also depends on what kind of thing it is, general research, so much money is invested in it, which is obviously a huge investment. But for Li Xi's research, I am only afraid of billions or even tens of billions. Hundreds of billions of trillions may be invested, but it is only a drop in the bucket.

After all, the goal of this research seems too far away, even in Guan Qin's eyes, when she herself knows almost nothing about this matter, she knows that this is a project of a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.

Therefore, no matter how much investment there is, it is insignificant in the face of such a project.

Of course. The reason why there is such an idea is mainly because Guan Qin does not know Li Xi's hands. With the existence of the Sacred Tree Treasure Book, the so-called investment research is actually mostly just a cover-up, of course, if you can make such an investment, the research will be successful. It must be the best, and if it can't be successfully studied, in Li Xi's view, it doesn't matter.

With such a specific cover-up, he can at least take out some trees that are not very important and put them in front of the public.

For example, the house tree, such as the meat bun tree, such as the garment tree.

It can be said that at the beginning of this research, no matter how much Li Xi invested, who invited to conduct the research, or how huge the project was. First of all, the level of this research itself, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, is afraid that it is just a castle in the air. There is absolutely no possibility of success in research.

However, if after a certain period of time, Li Xi can take out the meat bun tree, the house tree, or the garment tree, the shock caused by that time will definitely make no one dare to underestimate the research he said.

It is also possible to make your own research receive more attention instead of ridicule, and then attract more professionals to devote themselves to this research.

Of course, this is not what Li Xi mainly wants, and the result that Li Xi mainly wants is actually just to let his trees see the light, at least before the World Tree appears, so as not to make people doubt too seriously.

As for the World Tree after it is taken out, it can be said that if the World Tree can be cultivated in advance, the World Fruit can be obtained, and the small world of the cave sky will be possessed, and the ghost will have the mind to slowly carry out such cultivation, and directly put the trees he needs in his own world, and he will not have to worry about anyone being able to see it and then doubt himself. Even if someone doubts himself, Li Xi has the ability to enter and exit the small world of Dongtian at any time, coupled with the ability to change at will of the Hundred Variety Fruit or the Thousand Change Fruit, he doesn't have to worry about any situation that may be unfavorable to him at all.

After all, no matter how advanced the current world is, even if the technology is a hundred times higher on the basis of the current one, it is absolutely impossible to open up the space door and travel through the multi-dimensional space at will, so the possibility of discovering or being able to reach Li Xi's small world of the cave is completely zero.

DON'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT CROSS-SPACE ZHIFA, EVEN IF IT'S KUAGUOZHIFA, IT'S LIGHT NOT TO BE KILLED BY OTHERS.

It's just that there is obviously an extremely long distance between the current distance from cultivating the World Tree, and it is absolutely impossible to do it in a short period of time. Even if Li Xi's luck was extremely good, and he was able to accidentally transform the World Tree by accident, then the time required to successfully cultivate this World Tree was not something that ordinary people could consume.

In between, Li Xi still had to succumb to some rules of real society.

Li Xi pondered for a moment before saying, "At the beginning, let's invest more than a billion first." ”

"More than a billion?" Guan Qin was taken aback after hearing this, and said in surprise: "Ah! Li Xi, it turns out that you are so rich." ”

However, after saying this, he immediately paused, there was a lot of money, but it also depends on what he did, and if he wants to use this money to buy a car, it must be enough. But if you plan to use this money to implement a Mars landing plan, maybe the plan will not be carried out, and the money will be spent directly.

Therefore, Guan Qin was only taken aback for a moment, and then said, "This is too little, right?" Speaking of this, he hurriedly added, "I'm not saying that you have little money, but that you want to invest in this kind of research, don't you think." Is that too little money?"

"Invest upfront. It's not that I won't invest in the future. Li Xi disagreed. Anyway, his so-called establishment of a research institute for researchers to conduct research is just a pretense, although there is a theory, but if you want to succeed in research, even if it is just a superficial observation problem, I am afraid that it can be done not only in one or two years, but even ten or eight years.

Let alone. Some large-scale experimental instruments cost money. Don't say that Li Yi plans to build so many laboratories, even if he just builds a laboratory and fully equips the experimental equipment, these billions are not enough at all.

However, for these things, Li Xi said that it didn't matter at all, on the one hand, he could certainly find a way to make money, on the other hand. He didn't expect the researchers to come up with anything. Of course, more importantly. Even if Li Xi's research institute is successfully established, I am afraid that there are very few particularly accomplished professionals who are willing to come to his research institute to work.

In other words, at the beginning, Li Xi was able to hire either people who were famous and famous, or rookies who were not famous and planned to mix their qualifications. However, Li Xi said that it doesn't matter, as long as one of the trees can be taken out, such as the meat bun tree.

In fact, Li Xi's plan is to take out the meat bun tree as the achievement of the research institute after studying it for a period of time, as for who researched this research, of course, it is Li Xi's own cooperation with some other people. I believe that on such an issue, no one will be qualified to test whether Li Xi is lying.

What's more, once such a tree is taken out, the repercussions caused by the whole society will definitely be a sensation, and then, the eyes of the whole society, needless to say, will definitely focus on such a tree.

Li Xi didn't care about this at all, it was reasonable, and it was taken out by a research institute. Even if other people knew, they would at most be amazed by the research level of this research institute, and they would not suspect that Li Yi himself had any secrets. It is much easier to use research to confront the suspicion and interference of the outside world than Li Xi himself.

In fact, let's put it this way, some things, if put in secret, can certainly help themselves keep secrets, but at the same time keep secrets, it also causes the insecurity of the person himself, some cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, no matter what it is, as long as they are greedy for such things, they will do everything they can to snatch it.

But if these things, once TONG breaks the sky, or puts them on the bright side, and everyone knows about them, in this case, those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods will immediately have no choice. There is no need to worry about what these people will rob and deceive again.

Once it is solved through normal channels, some obscure, low, unseemly, and indiscriminate means will all become useless.

In this case, it is actually a good thing for Li Xi, and even those groups who are spying on him will become companies that spy on Li Xi because of this.

After Guan Qin listened, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's okay, but I think this project is too big, Li Xi, you are sure you can really do it." ”

"Hehe!" Li Xi smiled when he heard this, "If I can't do anything, what am I going to do with such a research institute?"

Guan Qin immediately felt the confidence in Li Xi's tone, and said with a smile: "Very confident, but are you sure you can guarantee that these researchers can really study what you need when researching? If they really have this ability, they will still use it in your research institute? They have already been hired by other research institutes, not to mention, if your project is really that good, why have other research institutes never mentioned it." ”

Li Xi didn't expect that Guan Qin would ask so many questions at once, but for a while, he didn't know how to answer. If you want to answer Guan Qin's questions, it's not impossible to do it, but Li Xi can't just tell the other party directly that he already has some of the 'research results', right?

Of course, this is not something that cannot be said, after all, considering the results of Li Xi's first study, it must be published and let the public know, but it is obviously not the best time now, let alone in the current situation. By phone.

At that moment, he had to say, "Anyway, you know that I can just do it." What do you do by asking so much? and it won't help you solve any problems. That's right. Do you say yes or not, if you don't, I'll go to someone else. ”

When Guan Qin heard that he was going to find someone else, he suddenly became anxious, "Wait, wait, when did I say I wouldn't agree." ”

This kind of good thing, how can she let it go. Not to mention anything else, just for Li Xi's early investment of more than one billion, Guan Qin felt that it was necessary for him to be the CEO of this research institute. Even if the result is really as worried about it, nothing can be studied, but with more than a billion funds, how can it be a good thing, right?

With so much money management, one's social status, needless to say, will be greatly improved, and it will be beneficial to the operation of one's own planning company.

Of course. This is not to say Guan Qin's power or anything, but the social status of people. Under normal circumstances, it is really related to the amount of money under management.

When Li Xi heard that the other party agreed, his heart was relieved, it was not that he couldn't go to others, but it was a bit troublesome to do so after all, not to mention, the more people who knew, the more unfavorable it would definitely be for himself. He doesn't have many friends, mostly women.

In fact, that's exactly what the reality is. Obviously, people who don't have money will have friends, and people who have money, especially those who have careers, rarely have friends. Of course, by friends we mean those who are speculative and have common hobbies, not the kind of friends who do business dealings.

Those who interact because of business dealings, no matter how good they are on the surface, obviously cannot be regarded as friends.

And rich people, especially those with good careers, usually even if they have friends, this friend is no longer a man, but a woman. As for this kind of friend, what is going on, there is no need to say more, I believe that in most cases, more or less, there will be some inexplicable relationships.

In modern society, this is actually quite normal, and in interpersonal interactions, friends of the opposite sex have far more benefits than friends of the same sex.

For example, if you invite a guest to dinner, the same person is facing two people who are planning to invite, one of them is an empathetic beauty, and the other is a man with a common hobby.

This has nothing to do with seeing SE and forgetting friends, in fact, courtship is the instinct of all living things, including plants.

After all, what a male friend can do, a female friend can usually do, but there are some things that are obviously only done by a female friend and not by a male friend.

It is also for this reason that some men with better conditions are always surrounded by more beautiful women, and as for male friends who have common hobbies and smell the same, it can be said that they are very rare, and beauties are directly replaced. Of course, except for people like Liu Shiming, who are rich and free.

AND MEN WHO ARE NOT IN GOOD CONDITIONS, WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN A GOOD MOOD, HAVE TO FIND MEN WHO ARE ALSO NOT IN A GOOD MOOD AND ARE NOT IN GOOD CONDITIONS TO BORROW FROM EACH OTHER.

Therefore, Li Xi's situation is very normal. When he didn't have any money in his hand before, he didn't even have many boyfriends, and under normal circumstances, on weekends, he could only play games against the computer.

Now that our own conditions are better, the social circle will naturally become wider. If he still becomes the former Li Xi, no matter whether his social circle is wide enough or not, it is not that he has power or anything, at least he is definitely not qualified to associate with Bai Wenyan, Zhou Sirui and even Guan Qin.

It seems that Guan Qin is relatively poor among these people, but Guan Qin also has his own company, and there are dozens of subordinates in the company. In this case, Li Xi has reached the level of other people's companies, that is, the level of an ordinary employee, at most he is a small team leader, where is he qualified to interact with others?

The current changes are obviously based on the improvement of Li Xi's own conditions. Even when he was in a relationship with Li Xi, Guan Qin felt that he had climbed high.

At the moment, he said: "Since this is the case, then say okay, find a time, you come to my house for a while, let's discuss it carefully, what to do, and, find a time, I will take you to see the layout of our research institute first." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and smiled: "Our research institute." It's about to be renovated. If you want to find your own company to decorate. I'll just assume I don't know. ”

Although Guan Qin opened a planning company, it is obvious that in terms of decoration, her company must also be involved. For example, there is a lot of overlap with the decoration of the site. It's just that the general decoration is the basic renovation of the room. Guan Qin's event planning venue layout is the final step, and the two are completely different in this regard.

When Guan Qin heard this, she became happy, being able to receive the business, in her heart, was also an accident, and she asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will steal from myself?"

Li Xi disagreed, "You have to have that ability." You can steal it, and I'll catch it when I turn around. I'll just change you as a manager. ”

Guan Qin stuck out her tongue in fright, "Just kidding, by the way, are you at home now?"

After Li Xi listened, he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"In that case, why bother to change the day?" Guan Qin said busily: "I don't have anything to do now, I'll discuss it with you now." ”

"If you'd like to come over now, then come over now. Li Xi said it didn't matter.

Guan Qin said: "Then you wait for my instructions, and then go to your place." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Li Xi put the phone down and couldn't help but start thinking about what to do in the future. Obviously, the most important thing at the moment is to decorate this institute first, and after the renovation is completed, order some instruments. Of course, ordering instruments or something can be done together with the recruitment of researchers. The key question is when Li Xi will be able to make the meat bun tree public.

Once the meat bun tree is made public, at least in terms of the fast food restaurant opened by Zhou Sirui and Zhu Xiuyan, they can receive great benefits, at least with such a gimmick, I believe that there will be countless people who want to go to the meat bun shop to taste the meat buns in the store.

However, before that, I still have to determine some world conditions, that is, once such a fast food restaurant opens, how to distribute the profits.

This is the key, and it must be clear before the fast food restaurant opens. After all, whether it is with Zhou Sirui or Zhu Xiuyan, they do not have any special relationship, the so-called brothers settle the accounts clearly, even the brothers, they have to settle the accounts clearly, let alone with friends?

At present, I need a lot of money to invest in the research of the institute, so I can't do without this part of the fund.

If that's the case, it's better to open a fast food restaurant by yourself, I believe that with the meat bun tree, there is no need to cooperate with Zhou Sirui and Zhu Xiuyan at all, and I can still do very well, and the two of them, even if the store is opened, to what extent they can do it is still unknown. It can even be said that if you don't have your own support, it is a question whether the store of two people can be opened. Even if you want to open it and do it well, I'm afraid you have to join some stores.

In the end, profits were greatly compressed, which was obviously not a good thing for the two of them.

Once the profits are distributed, you can take out your own trees and provide technical support to the fast food restaurant to run the fast food restaurant well. SO NO MATTER WHAT, IN SUCH A MATTER, IT IS ZHOU SIRUI AND ZHU XIUYAN WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PIAN.

As for the question of how much profit to be distributed to the other party, Li Xi is a little entangled for the time being, if he gives too much, he is afraid that it will exceed the value that the beauty salon can create, which makes Li Xi's heart a little unwilling.

OF COURSE, IF THE TWO WOMEN WERE LIKE BAI WENYAN AND HAD THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH LI XI, HE WOULDN'T MIND LETTING THE OTHER PARTY TAKE SOME PIANYI IN TERMS OF PROFIT DISTRIBUTION.

But at present, it seems that there is obviously a difference between the two, if you work hard to help the other party run the business well, but that day, the other party meets other men and suddenly marries someone or something, wouldn't you become the kind of idiot who gives money and gives away?

Li Xi felt that he would never be able to be that kind of selflessness and sacrifice himself for others. OR EXTREMELY QINGSHENG, ABLE TO SAY ANYTHING WITH ONE MOUTH, AS LONG AS I SEE YOU HAPPY, I AM WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.

Rather than let Li Xi do that, he felt that he was more willing to die. Not to mention, he has always believed that if I give, I should be rewarded, and if not, why should I give? )
