Chapter 351: Unexpectedly Smooth
Synchronous reading on mobile phones
A negotiation was unexpectedly smooth for Li Zhiyang, and when he asked Nancy to help Gan Yang with one thing, he never thought that this negotiation would go so smoothly...
It can even be said that it is a no-brainer. He got the pre-patent of the project and the right to continue research and development in the later stage.
After Nancy's call, the next afternoon, the Claude who represented Rockefeller appeared, and after he appeared, the whole thing. The negotiations were over in less than half an hour.
, very acquaintances, gave up this project, and the price was pitiful, only a million dollars. Look, I don't want to offend Rockefeller, one of the most powerful family forces in the United States, for a project with unknown prospects.
You must know that they have invested tens of millions of dollars in the early stage of this project, not to mention that it took three years.
However, only one device capable of purifying seawater has been obtained, and it has not yet been verified whether this device can be used in large quantities in the end.
And if you want to be verified, you have to support Cao Guang and them to continue research, which is of course not
, the decision-makers want to see.
After all, now is not the time for them to have a lot of money in their pockets, and the financial crisis in the United States has already erupted this year, and no one knows how long this crisis will last.
The school's fund has suffered a lot in this crisis, and this year, as many of the former big sponsors of the school are struggling in the financial crisis, or even bankrupt, no one knows how much social donations will be made at the end of this year.
So, I had to cut my spending. It is almost inevitable to cut some marginal projects, but no one expected that Cao Guang, a project with unpredictable prospects, would be bought.
And the people who were willing to give a check for this small project were actually the Rockefellers, so the deal was made in the end. It's still a loss, no one can tell, and no one wants to make it clear at this time.
And Li Zhiyang also received a call from Cheng Dazhuang, it turned out that the country had already begun to issue a special license when he was still young, allowing adaptation enterprises to enter the freshwater industry, which also cleared the last obstacle for Li Zhiyang!
The day after the negotiation was successful and Li Zhiyang and they got the news, when Li Zhiyang and Nancy had not woken up in the hotel room, Cao Guang had already come to the door.
Looking at Li Zhiyang, who was only surrounded by a sheet and sleepy-eyed, Cao Guang knew that he was early.
In fact, when he saw Li Zhiyang and the blonde chick next to him that day, Cao Guang knew that Li Zhiyang, a kid, had found a foreign girlfriend.
But at that time, he was worried about Zhong Zhong for his own project, so he didn't have time to care about Li Zhiyang's private affairs.
But now that he thinks about it, he really thinks that Li Zhiyang is really a good life. I actually found such a beautiful girlfriend.
You must know that Nancy's beauty, even in the eyes of Americans, is definitely a great beauty.
What's more, the girlfriend Li Zhiyang is looking for is not only beautiful, but also her majestic family background.
When Cao Guang received a call from Claude that day, he was a little confused!
Although he devoted himself to scientific research. But he is not a fool, he has been in the United States for almost 20 years, and he has heard of what the Rockefellers are doing and how much influence they have in the United States.
However, in the past, the form of Rockefeller only vaguely existed in his impression, and it was not particularly profound.
But yesterday, all of this was different. He met Rockefeller's spokesman with his own eyes, in, in the midst of negotiations. How to command and gain the upper hand.
You must know that Eric, who has always been known for being vitriolic in the past, is a sworn enemy with Cao Guang, and Wilson is a good buddy who can wear a pair of pants.
At the beginning, Cao Guang thought that this Eric would put up many obstacles for his project to sell!
But when he heard Claude's phone call and met with this guy, he knew that such an obstacle would definitely not exist.
Because when he knew that this Claude was from a law firm that often represented Rockefeller in lawsuits, he knew that this time Eric would never dare to stumble on himself.
You know, it doesn't matter if he Eric's looks down on himself. But he definitely didn't dare to look down on Rockefeller!
Sure enough, the negotiations that day went unusually well, and Eric, who had always been tough and mean in the past, was like seeing his own father when he saw Claude again.
Cao Guang would never have thought that Eric, who is usually black-headed and black-faced in the school and has always been in charge of the auction of the school's scientific research projects, would have such a side, becoming amiable and smiling.
In the negotiation process, what conditions are put forward, this Eric agrees, you must know that he has never had such a face when facing some large companies before.
In the end, with little resistance from Eric, the half-cut project was sold to the company in the form of a half-sale, half-giveaway.
But who will this company sell to in the end. This is unknown.
It's okay to say that others don't know, but Cao Guang definitely knows who this project will fall into in the end, and it must be Li Zhiyang's.
You must know that after he went home that day, he kept thinking that since he was deceived by Li Zhiyang, you must know that crying villains looks too bad
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a billionaire Xiao, although he has shown considerable strength, but before he saw real money, Cao Guang, who has always studied science and pays attention to rigor, still feels very uneasy.
You know, this time it's not just him. He was also responsible for convincing other colleagues who had been working with him for three years on the project.
Persuade them to leave "to continue the research project with him, it doesn't matter if they are deceived by this Li Zhiyang, but if it affects other people, it will not be easy to do."
You must know that in his research group, there are many, and they are also famous, and these people are only interested in science, and they don't worship anything else
Many of them are marginal characters in school, and they may be fired at any time, you must know that this style of arguing seniority and talking about relationships is not only unique in the Celestial Empire, but also in the United States.
Those science geeks who are not close to their grandmothers and uncles are not loved, if they don't work in the city, I am afraid that they will starve to death.
This time, I asked them to leave with me" to participate in Li Zhiyang's so-called continued research, which can be regarded as an adventure for those people.
You know, they don't necessarily get fired, but if they don't keep his promise, it may be a disaster for these people.
They will lose their jobs and have no ability to support their families!
So that day, after he came out of the hotel, he only contacted a few members of the research group when he was hot-headed, and after he calmed down after returning home, he did not contact any other people.
However, with the appearance of Rockefeller's representative yesterday, he was completely reassured of Li Zhiyang, and even Rockefeller could ask for someone to help, could he still be so much short?
So on the evening after the successful negotiation, Cao Guang got in touch with all the members of the team he had led before, and told him the ins and outs of the matter.
And officially sent them an invitation, asking them to go to the Celestial Empire with him to complete the rest of the project.
A few colleagues who are also obsessed with scientific research almost didn't think about it, and agreed on the spot, and a few said that they would go back and think about it, but Cao Guang estimated that the possibility that they would finally agree was very high.
What made him feel most relieved was that there was no one in the entire group, who immediately refused after listening to his statement, and everyone said that they would go back and think about it.
This is what makes Cao Guang the happiest, and this morning, several more colleagues called him and agreed to participate in his project, leaving "to go with him to the Celestial Empire to complete the unfinished business."
This made Cao Guang excited for a long time, so he rushed to the hotel early in the morning and wanted to express his gratitude to Li Zhiyang.
But looking at Li Zhiyang's appearance at this time, he knew that he was early, and then thought about it, if he had a **girlfriend like Nancy, I am afraid he would sing every night.
Cao Guang laughed secretly in his heart, and then agreed with Li Zhiyang to wait for him in the café below, and left.
Li Zhiyang shook his head helplessly. Then he will go to the room and start to freshen up, prepare to go down, and have a good chat with Cao Guang to see what news he has mastered in the past few days, which makes him excited like this.
Nancy is still in the bed of the hotel, Begonia is asleep in spring, but yesterday the two of them came to a basketball game, and played four quarters.
Although Nancy lost badly in the end, Li Zhiyang also won miserably, and at this time he also felt that his waist bone was aching, and he secretly wondered in his heart. If it weren't for taking the health soup in the ancient book, I guess I really wouldn't be able to cover this crazy girl.
You must know that Americans are not subtle in this matter, they are unrestrained, although Li Zhiyang likes this kind of unrestrained very much, but he feels that sometimes, such unrestrained is really scary.
Seeing Nancy sleeping in Zhengxiang, Li Zhiyang didn't want to disturb her good dreams The little girl was crazy enough yesterday, and her physical strength was also consumed a lot, although most of the time she was passively beaten, but this was still a physical job.
After Li Zhiyang washed up alone, he came to the café below the hotel.
Cao Guang had already ordered coffee and was waiting for him there.
"Why are you so happy, Brother Cao?. Li Zhiyang saw Cao Guang's happy expression, so he made a joke.
Of course, he knew why, he thought that Cao Guang was happy that the project was bought by himself, but he was still wrong.
At this time, Cao Guang was happy for more members of his group to return to the team!
"Zhiyang, tell you a good news Cao Guang couldn't hide his excitement and said to Li Zhiyang.
"Oh, what's going on?" Li Zhiyang asked Cao Guang.
"Of the fifteen members under my command, twelve have promised that I will leave with me
"Go ahead and finish the rest of the experiment. There are three more who believe that they will give me news in the next few days. ”
Cao Guang said excitedly that only he knows the importance of these people to this experiment, and he must know that many of the breakthrough ideas in this project are put forward by these people. Besides, he has been working with these people for three years, and everyone has the same interests to get to where they are today.
If half of these people are unwilling to continue to follow him, then he will feel very headache, after all, even if he is recruiting new people, he has to run in and train, which is very... of one room.
"That's great, you tell them I'll build you the best laboratory, you just need to make a list of any need for lab equipment, and everyone's salary is higher than it is now
Li Zhiyang said very generously that he knows the importance of talents, especially these scientific research talents. These professor-level characters only receive an annual salary of about 100,000 US dollars, and he has raised his mouth with one mouth, and he doesn't have much money anyway, this little money, to be honest, Li Zhiyang, who has a lot of money, really doesn't care now.
What kind of world is now, Cao Guang is of course clear. There is an economic crisis everywhere. It's already good if you don't cut your salary and lay off employees, and the young man in front of you not only doesn't cut everyone's salary but also raises everyone's salary, it seems that it's really right to follow this Li Zhiyang.
"And once this project comes to fruition, I will set up a company in the Celestial Empire to start practicing your results, and I will also give you a stake in the gills
Li Zhiyang pretended to be generous at this time and said that he was really optimistic about the prospects of this project.
If Cao Guang and the others can really produce results, if they can be put into practice and applied in the Celestial Empire, according to Li Zhiyang's estimates, it will not be a problem in the entire Celestial Empire of tens of billions of yuan per year.
So at this time, it is better to simply pretend to be generous. Give them something sweet.
Don't underestimate the shares of this gill, when the time comes, it may become tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of assets, and the people in this group will plan to be rich in agriculture and workers.
When Cao Guang heard Li Zhiyang say this, he was even happier in his heart, even if his project was successful, it would only be auctioned after a roundabout roadshow.
Those on this. The results are interested. And the big companies that can afford the price will become the final winners. And they will just get a bonus at the end of the year.
Scientists are also human beings, everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and everyone wants to live a life without food and clothing, but if research continues here, there is basically no hope for such a life.
But with a boss like Li Zhiyang, Xiao Cao Guang has a strong confidence that such a life will definitely be realized, you must know that he is a guy who can even be moved by Rockefeller.
"Okay, Zhiyang, you are our boss now, do you want to meet with everyone first. Cao Guang asked with a smile.
"Okay, you can arrange it, I will let my lawyer prepare a contract for you first, and when the time comes, you can sign it, and you don't have to resign in a hurry, you can wait for me to build the laboratory for you in the Celestial Empire, and then come over."
Li Zhiyang and Cao Guang said, Cao Guang hurriedly nodded yes, and then turned around and left, contacting his old friends.
In fact, Li Zhiyang began to have some ideas when he was interested in this project.
In his hometown, he also has a pig farm, and there are hundreds, thousands of acres of wasteland around the dark pig farm, all of which are saline-alkali land.
Therefore, the local villagers did not have anyone to contract, and the land was also a piece of the local government's heart, although it was connected to the sea, but the place was partial, and it was in the countryside, and there was no beautiful scenery.
Plus where is there anything saline. There's no development value at all, so it's been left wasted over there.
Those lands are next to their own pig farms, and if they contract them themselves. It is simply appropriate to build a large laboratory and then let Cao Guang and them do it.
The land is in the southeast direction of the sea, and it is a natural and excellent site to build a large-scale desalination treatment plant.
Moreover, Li Zhiyang's Liaobei Province is reluctant to be far from Mongolian Province in the north, knowing that Mongolian Province, which is next to them, is now a place with serious water shortage.
Li Zhiyang didn't feel much about this before, but with the sandstorms from the Mongolian Plateau in recent years, he knew that even if other places did not use water, that Mongolian Province was a small place with extreme water shortage.
Moreover, Mongolia is a large province, and there are several more along the Mongolian province inland. Great deserts, these deserts are expanding every year.
This is already a problem in the heart of the local government, and it has seriously affected the lives of the local people.
You must know that in the previous life, the university professor of the Celestial Empire who led the Bohai Sea into the interior of the country had signed contracts with those local governments.
Once the plan to divert seawater to the inland is successful, it will definitely pass through those provinces and cities.
When the time comes, as long as you can desalinate a large amount of seawater, you will ask a few professors to advocate it, and believe in those ones. Local governments of provinces and cities. You'll be able to find your door soon.
At that time, even if you don't want to make money, it will be difficult. You must know that there are a large number of coal mines in many places in these provinces and cities, and coal mines are also large water users.
Therefore, those local governments, some of them are equivalent to sitting on the gold mountain and begging for food, I believe that they should be more anxious than Li Zhiyang about those butterfly mines that can be seen but cannot be obtained.
Therefore, as long as you have seawater desalination, this big killer will be difficult even if you want to get rich at that time!
Li Zhiyang didn't expect that his character would be so strong, and he would be able to pick up such a big gold mountain when he traveled in the United States casually!
