Chapter 485: Bargging
"Hmmm... This one... I'm going to discuss this with my partner. ”
Anderson obviously didn't think of such a problem, he was just a scientist, not a businessman, so he really didn't think much about this aspect of things.
"Okay, you can call your partner now, or you can go back and talk to him."
Li Zhiyang is not in a hurry, he has nothing to do now anyway, but he is not in a hurry to go home, I am afraid that the family is already lively now
When he thought of Carnegie and James's group of relatives, Li Zhiyang felt a pain in his brain, so he wanted to be able to rub here for a few days, just rub here for a few days.
Hearing Li Zhiyang say this, Anderson took out the phone and called his partner Shelton. At this time, Li Zhiyang turned around and looked at Nancy beside him, when he was talking about business with this Anderson just now, Nancy had been silent, and now he was bored.
"I'm sorry, dear, if I knew it was so boring today, I wouldn't have brought you here, or you might as well go out for a walk by yourself."
Nancy was completely uninterested in Li Zhiyang's business, so she said.
"Alright dear, when you're done talking, you call me."
With that, she got up, took her little handbag, and left
Li Zhiyang sat there and waited for Anderson to come back, and Anderson was outside the café to call his partner, and Li Zhiyang could see him arguing with his companion.
It seemed that Anderson wanted to agree, but his partner was a little unhappy
After a while, Anderson walked in after making a phone call, with a look of frustration on his face, and it seemed that his partner did not agree with Li Zhiyang's point of view.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, my partner seems to have some opinions about this assignment."
After Anderson walked to the coffee table and sat down, he said to Li Zhiyang.
"Oh, what then?"
Li Zhiyang is not in a hurry, because he is not the one who needs money urgently, what he wants to do is just an investor.
"I've already told him, and he's going to come over and interview you right now."
Anderson said a little embarrassed, it seems that this guy is really not very good at dealing with people, this guy seems to spend more time in the laboratory than outside.
"Mr. Li, my friend's place of residence is not far from here, it won't take long for him to arrive, can you wait for a while?"
At this time, Anderson was afraid that Li Zhiyang would not be happy, so he hurriedly asked.
Li Zhiyang thought about it, anyway, he didn't have anything to do, so he just waited a little longer
"Okay then, I'll just wait for him for a while."
Li Zhiyang said.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, a guy who looked very similar to Anderson pushed open the door and walked into the café.
This guy is also a tall and thin man, with a long face, but with a pair of glasses on his face, and short chestnut hair, which is attached to his head, and he has not washed it for a long time.
Fortunately, the clothes on the body look clean and not particularly dirty.
When Anderson saw the man, he immediately raised his arm and signaled to him, and the man also saw Anderson, so he hurried over.
As soon as the man walked up to them, Anderson quickly got up and introduced him.
"Sheldon, this is Cao Guang's good friend, Mr. Li, our project was invested by Mr. Li. Mr. Lee, this is my partner Sheldon. ”
"You... Hello, very nice ... See.. You"
This Sheldon stretched out his hand to Li Zhiyang, but to Li Zhiyang's surprise, this guy was actually a stammer, no wonder he would send Anderson, who was not good at negotiations, to negotiate
"Hello, I'm Li Zhiyang, and I'm glad to meet you."
Li Zhiyang smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with this guy, and after a few people sat down, Li Zhiyang went straight in, he didn't plan to waste time here again.
"Mr. Shelton, Mr. Anderson has told you about my offer, but at the moment, it seems that you have some objections to this issue?"
"Yes ... Yes... I think... Your offer is a bit low. ”
The speed at which Sheldon spoke was really anxious, and he himself seemed to be in a hurry, his face turned red when he said these words, and Li Zhiyang looked anxious for him.
"What, do you think the price is still low?"
Li Zhiyang asked with a smile, he suddenly felt that this Sheldon was very interesting, he was indeed very much like a person who specialized in scientific research, and it was very difficult to talk to people.
"Yes ... Yes, I think it's a bit low. ”
This Sheldon's face turned redder, and it seemed that he was not very good at bargaining with others
"Oh? So how much do you want? You must know that your project has not been completely successful at all, and my current investment in you is completely risky, and the risk factor is very high, you must know that you are indeed a newcomer in the scientific community, and there is no famous newcomer. ”
Li Zhiyang said with a smile, he is completely familiar with dealing with such two rookies in the business world.
"But... But.. Our research... Project... The price. Price.. The value is high. ”
When that Sheldon heard Li Zhiyang belittle the two of them like this, he was immediately unhappy, his face, which was already a little ruddy, became more red at this time, and he stammered even more.
"Yes, the value of your scientific research project is indeed very high, but that is after you successfully conquered this project, isn't it Weifu My friend is now like a war, no one knows whether the war is lost or won, I am optimistic about you, so I invested in you, and I want a return ratio that you think is high Weifu? If you fail, you can start all over again, but my 12 million will be all lost. ”
Li Zhiyang continued to say to that Shelton.
"If you succeed, of course I'm going to take the lion's share, because I think at this time of year, it seems that no one else will invest in your project except me, and my friend, 12 million dollars, is not a small amount."
Li Zhiyang continued to persuade him, but he wanted to take a big advantage.
"But... But.... ”
Anderson was at a loss, he felt that Li Zhiyang's conditions were already very good, because they were short of money now. The lab they use is also rented from Mi T.
During this time, it was also because of the shortage of funds that a lot of funding for the research group in this area was stopped, so the laboratory had time to be idle.
If after a while, the economic conditions improve, people will have to take back the laboratory in minutes, and their rent will expire at the end of this month
In that case, their experiment would never be completed.
And now he has even become a problem in life, his money has been lost in the stock market, and the house he lives in has now been taken back by the bank.
His girlfriend has already turned her face with him, and now she has moved out angrily and moved in with her friends, and if he can't get the house back, it is estimated that his girlfriend is likely to break up with him.
Although Sheldon is not much better than him, Anderson is more anxious than Shelton, after all, he is the one who has a very stiff relationship with his girlfriend.
So at this time, he quietly pulled his Sheldon's clothes below, signaling him not to be in such a hurry, lest Li Zhiyang really get angry, if people pat their butts and leave, they could really only jump into the river at that time.
But Sheldon completely ignored him, and he still insisted on his bottom line.
"But... But... I... I.. Really think ... 99 is definitely more than that. ”
Thankfully, his last sentence was finally said very smoothly, and now not only he is anxious, but even Li Zhiyang is anxious for him.
"But gentlemen, you have to pay attention, your 99 is just an unstable product, and he can't be applied on a large scale, so he doesn't have any real value now, and I'm completely doing venture capital now, you understand WeServing"
Li Zhiyang really felt that negotiating with someone like Sheldon was definitely torture for him.
"I think 12 million is okay, Sheldon, what do you think?"
At this time, Anderson couldn't hold back any longer, and he said out loud, giving Sheldon a look as he spoke, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
So despite Sheldon's disbelief, he still gave Anderson face and didn't say anything.
Li Zhiyang saw that Sheldon didn't make a sound, so he hurriedly said.
"Well, that's it, 12 million, I'll account for 80 percent, and the deal will be sold."
"Wait... etc."
Li Zhiyang thought it was over, but at this time, the Hilton spoke up again, and Li Zhiyang really felt a little crying and laughing.
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Yes ... So, forget it... Anderson, it's better for you."
Sheldon said as he handed Anderson a wad of paper in his hand, and he knew he was slow enough, so he said.
Anderson also looked strange at first, but he still took the information in Sheldon's hand, and after he took a look, his face became rosy, so he said to Li Zhiyang.
"That's right, Mr. Li, we also have a good project here, I don't know if you have any intention of investing."
Maybe a little too excited, now Anderson's tone is a little shaky.
"Oh? Let's hear it, but if it's still some immature technology, then it doesn't need to be said at all. ”
Li Zhiyang is now very wealthy, and he is really interested in such a technology investment.
"That's right, this is a little invention that Sheldon and I started when we were in college, but don't worry, it's a fully mature technology, because Sheldon and I have thoroughly tried it many times."
Anderson hurriedly explained that he was afraid that Li Zhiyang would not be interested.
"Okay, let's talk about it."
Li Zhiyang pretended to be indifferent and said.
"Well, this technology allows us to do something about the greenhouse effect. What we invented was an artificial tree, which actually needed silica gel to make it, and it was able to absorb a lot of carbon dioxide from the air, and sulfur dioxide, which is the exhaust of a car, and then the artificial tree would mimic the photosynthesis of green plants, producing a lot of oxygen, and carbon-based compounds, mostly starch, and some other products. Such a tree can absorb about 150,000 tons of carbon dioxide, or sulphur dioxide, and release 90,000 tons of oxygen every year, which is equivalent to the role of a hectare of forest. ”
As soon as Anderson heard that Li Zhiyang was really interested, he immediately enthusiastically introduced it.
"Stop, how much does a tree like yours cost?"
Li Zhiyang immediately asked, it is estimated that the price of such a tree must not be low, because in his previous life, he had also heard about the relevant news.
But at that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, those things were too far away from him, but he vaguely remembered that such a tree was indeed invented by the scientific researchers of Mystery.
But only in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, the most polluted city in the world, and in Lima, the capital of Peru, such artificial trees are being used.
"The cost is not very high, it also depends on the size of the tree you want, of course, the bigger the tree, the higher the cost, but we have calculated that even if it is the largest tree, the daily operating cost is only six dollars, but it can absorb a large amount of car exhaust in the city, and he also has the effect of windproof and sand fixation, it can effectively absorb dust, sand, and germs in the air, and only needs about 12 liters of water per hour."
Anderson explained to Li Zhiyang again.
Li Zhiyang was not very interested in this thing, to purify the air, you can get a variety of trees, the cost is not high, and there are beautiful, people also have many good places to enjoy the shade, who would bother to make your artificial tree
But when you think about it, this tree does have its great place, and you think that this tree is equivalent to another hectare of forest.
And in the metropolis, where the air environment is extremely poor, such as the imperial capital, where is there a place to plant a hectare of forest for you
Even if there is some spare land, it has been sold by the city government to developers to engage in real estate, where is there still a place to plant trees for you?
And starting next year, if memory serves, in order to stimulate economic recovery, the state will introduce corresponding preferential policies for automobiles.
In the next few years, it was also a period of rapid growth of private cars in the Celestial Empire, and Li Zhiyang remembered very well that in his previous life, it was in those years that the number of private cars in the imperial capital seemed to have more than doubled.
In the past 10 years, the emperor has been stuck in traffic jams every day, and the air environment is simply bad, and the sky is chaotic every day, and the blue sky cannot be seen at all.
The exhaust fumes emitted by cars are everywhere in the air, especially in summer, which is the most terrifying time in the imperial capital.
Every day, when the rush hour comes, the exhaust fumes emitted by those cars alone can increase the temperature of the entire city by more than ten times
He still remembers that one day he was pressing the road on the side of the road and found that many trees in the green belt on the side of the road were dying of heat
At that time, many people living in the imperial capital complained that the imperial capital was too hot, and it didn't look like a northern city.
In fact, this really has nothing to do with geography, it is all about the contribution of car exhaust
What if this kind of tree could be sold to the municipal government of the imperial capital? Li Zhiyang's stomach turned a few times and thought.
Our Celestial Empire, the most popular is the upward and downward effect, as long as the imperial capital has set an example, then some other local provinces and cities, with the same problem, it is estimated that you can also buy a few and go back to try it.
In fact, the key is this thing, it can really reduce the exhaust emissions of the car
And if you sell it to companies that emit a lot of CO2, like power plants, what is it?
I remember that now is the world's most troubled environmental protection years, the world's largest carbon dioxide emissions are of course the United States, but the people are sparsely populated, and the natural environment protection is really good, and the domestic greening is good, so people don't worry about this problem at all.
Therefore, the world has been calling for the Kyoto Conference to reduce emissions, and the Americans just don't sign it, and the Americans don't sign it, so neither our Celestial Empire nor Russia will sign it.
But later, it seems that after Obama came to power, he signed the Kyoto Agreement and agreed to carry out energy conservation and environmental protection on a national scale.
To control carbon dioxide emissions, our Celestial Empire and Russia have also signed this Kyoto agreement, and each country has made corresponding regulations on annual carbon dioxide emissions.
However, the environmental protection technology of Europe and the United States is relatively mature, and they can easily control their own carbon dioxide emissions, but our Celestial Empire's technology in this area is a little worse, so it seems that it has suffered a lot in this regard.
Because if you exceed the annual greenhouse gas emissions set out in the Kyoto Agreement, then you will be punished by the WTO
Therefore, many countries that do not meet the standards of environmental protection technology have no choice but to buy surplus indicators from other countries.
At that time, it seemed that the Celestial Empire spent a lot of such unjust money from Canada to buy that bullshit indicator.
What if I took it back and bought it myself?
Li Zhiyang pondered in his heart, and the more he pondered, the more interesting he felt, and he suddenly felt that this two guys, Anderson and Sheldon, were indeed a little interesting.
"Okay, this product, do you have a sample of the microservice?"
Li Zhiyang asked with a smile.
When he asked, Anderson and Sheldon were overjoyed, they didn't expect such a thing to be really interested.
You must know that this thing, they have been tinkering with it for several years, but the greening in the United States is really good, and there are many trees, so this product of theirs is definitely a street product in the United States.
It's been invented for more than three years, and no one has been caring, but I didn't expect that it would be sold successfully today, just ask how two people can not be happy.
"Yes, of course there is, it's in our dormitory, Mr. Li, if you are interested, you can go back with us to have a look."
Anderson hurriedly sent an invitation to Li Zhiyang
