315. Invest in scientific research
At noon the next day, Pei Yuanping called Tang Ming, and they had already boarded the plane to Brisbane.
Tang Ming put down the phone, drove a helicopter to the villa on the Gold Coast, and drove to Brisbane Airport to pick up Pei Yuanping and a young man in his twenties.
Pei Yuanping is about fifty years old, wearing a suit, with eyes, gray sideburns, and looks very elegant.
After getting to know each other and exchanging a few words, they came to the parking lot and drove back to the Gold Coast villa.
Seeing Tang Ming's villa, Pei Yuanping was very surprised, but he didn't show it, but the students who came with him were full of incredulity, probably before he came, he thought Tang Ming was just a small rancher.
Tang Ming said, "Professor Pei, let's go to the house and rest for a while, and then go to my ranch later." ”
Pei Yuanping shook his head and refused: "No need, let's go over now, I can't wait to see the Golden Tree." ”
"Oh well. Tang Ming agreed and led them to the tarmac.
Seeing the helicopter parked here, Pei Yuanping was very interested in going around the helicopter, and after reading it, he turned his head to look at Tang Ming and asked, "Mr. Tang, this is the civilian version of Zhijiu." ”
Tang Ming smiled: "Yes, I didn't expect Professor Pei to be able to recognize Zhijiu, it seems that Professor Pei usually likes to study helicopters." ”
Pei Yuanping said: "You are wrong, I don't know much about helicopters, but this tail is very recognizable." ”
Tang Ming nodded and said, "Indeed, Zhijiu's tail has a lot of personality. ”
After saying a few words, they got on the helicopter, and Tang Ming drove towards the ranch.
When he arrived at the ranch and got off the helicopter, Tang Ming immediately took Pei Yuanping to the Golden Tree to take a look.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Pei Yuanping said: "I really haven't seen this kind of tree, it seems that it should be a kind of arbor." ”
He paused, and then said, "Mr. Tang, you don't have to stay here, we have to study it carefully, it may take several hours." ”
Tang Ming nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it, I'll get you some water, Professor Pei, what do you want to drink?"
Pei Yuanping said: "If you have tea here, make me a cup of tea." ”
The student said, "Mr. Tang, just bring me a bottle of Coke." ”
Tang Ming said: "No problem, it's right away." ”
He walked back into the house, made a pot of tea, took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, took it outside, put it on the table by the pool, and shouted, "Professor Pei, you have brought your tea and drinks, come and drink them." ”
"Put it there, we'll drink it later. Pei Yuanping shouted, didn't come over, continued to study the golden tree, Tang Ming shook his head, ignored them, and walked into the house by himself.
It wasn't until dinner in the evening that Tang Ming called Pei Yuanping and the student into the house and introduced his parents and Tony to them.
Sitting at the dining table, Pei Yuanping tasted the beef and praised: "It tastes really good." ”
Tang Ming smiled and didn't speak, he had heard too much of this kind of praise, and he was used to it.
Pei Yuanping took a few more bites and asked, "Xiao Tang, what is the name of your ranch." ”
Tang Ming replied, "Alpine Ranch." ”
"Alpine pasture, alpine pasture......" Pei Yuanping repeated a few times, and suddenly asked in surprise: "It's that alpine ranch where a cow sells for tens of thousands of Australian dollars." ”
Tang Ming said with a smile: "If there is no other pasture called Alpine Ranch, I think it should be." ”
Pei Yuanping's gaze at Tang Ming has changed a lot, people always admire people who have ability, in Pei Yuanping's opinion, Tang Ming can cultivate such a good cow, that is, a person with ability.
They ate and chatted, and soon finished eating, sitting in the living room, Tang Ming made another pot of tea, and at the same time took out the incense burner, put some golden tree bark in it, and suddenly a fragrance wafted out.
Pei Yuanping took a deep breath and said: "This fragrance is much stronger than what you smell on the tree, smelling this fragrance can make people feel calm, I think if you often have insomnia, dreams or neurasthenia, it will be very beneficial to smell this fragrance often, and it may also have an effect on some mental illnesses, of course, these are just my guesses, and more in-depth research is needed." ”
Tang Ming gave a thumbs up and said, "Professor Pei, you're on the point, I just want you to study why the bark of the Golden Tree has this effect, and at the same time, you can develop some new drugs with the bark of the Golden Tree." ”
Pei Yuanping said: "Of course, I have a separate laboratory, but ......"
He didn't continue, but Tang Ming understood, and immediately said: "I can provide Professor Pei with five million Australian dollars in scientific research funding first, and if it is not enough, I will add it later." ”
"Thank you, Don Jr. Pei Yuanping gladly accepted, no matter what, it is a happy thing to be able to pull a scientific research fund, and for a scientist like him, scientific research funding is never too much.
His students next to him were even happier, and as Pei Yuanping's graduate student, he could also get some benefits from it.
As for Tang Ming, he didn't care even more, if he could research something from the Golden Tree, then it would be no problem to pay ten times the research funds.
However, what should be said still has to be said, so Tang Ming said: "If I can research some results, I want all the patents." ”
Pei Yuanping said: "Of course, no problem, I just need to publish a paper." ”
One wants profit, the other wants fame, there is no conflict of interest between them, and they have a good chat.
chatted until the evening, Tang Ming arranged a room for Pei Yuanping and them, and he also went back to the room to rest, took a shower, changed his clothes, entered the Xia He Cave Heaven, and took a turn in the golden forest.
Now that Xia He Dongtian has been planted with all kinds of plants, especially two or three hundred golden trees more than 20 meters high, which occupy a large area, he plans to take some time every day to cut down these trees, peel off the bark and store them in Xia He Dongtian.
"Hey, it's growing again. ”
Then he walked over to Xia He's heart and took a look, Xia He's heart had grown about a centimeter taller during this time, and the growth rate was still very slow, but now there were more than a dozen Xia He fruits growing on it.
He counted, and this time there were as many as the last time, fifteen.
The growth rate of Xia He Fruit was much faster than he expected, and now that he had fifteen Xia He Fruits, he had to think about what animals to eat.
First of all, the little wedge-tailed eagle, he must feed it one, and then he thought for a while, and finally remembered the thirteen wild dogs in the pasture, feed them all one, anyway, Xia Heguo grows so fast, it won't take long to grow when it runs out. (To be continued.) )
