Chapter 716: Forty Trillion!
() A month goes by in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps it was the providence of heaven in the dark, on Children's Day on June 1, Tian Lu packed up his jΔ«ngjΔ«ng gods, and then came to the core of the Chinese regime under the escort of more than a dozen cars sent by his family and Liu Tong.
And in the middle of the night on the same day, just after completing the experiment that cost nearly 10 million US dollars in one month, Professor Linke, director of the National Institute of Neuroscience, came to the core of the American regime with a pair of bloodshot crazy eyes!
"This will be the greatest life science research in human history!"
Facing the most powerful dozen people in the United States, Professor Link's voice was high-pitched and sharp, full of fanaticism for science and technology: "There is no doubt that Professor Tian Lu of Huaguo is the best neuroscientist in the world, he has fully proven himself in the past 30 years, and after seeing this scientific research plan, the scientists of our entire institute have once again proved this, whether it was, is or will be, he is the greatest scientist in the field of neuroscience, there is no doubt about it!" β
"It's a genius scientific research project!"
"We have to start this research right away, no matter how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources are spent, we have to start it right awayγγγγγγ! β
"It will determine the future of the entire human race!"
γγγγγγ
Of course, Tian Lu didn't know what happened in the United States, and even if he knew, he would never care, he only knew. When he followed a young man into a room, the eyes of the seven people made his originally calm heart suddenly waver!
In this room, there are seven people with the most power in China sitting at this time!
Ten years of hard work, decades of preparation, whether it can continue, or whether it can continue smoothly and efficiently, the power is in the hands of these people!
After Tian Lu walked into the conference room, the door was immediately shut!
Today, the jΗng ring in this conference room will be of the highest rank, and not only the security personnel will be three times as high as usual. And no one without permission. Never step within 100 meters of the meeting room!
"Hello Professor Tian!"
After seeing Tian Lu come in, Liu Tong hurriedly got up and greeted him.
The others followed and stood up, and under Liu Tong's introduction, Tian Lu and the other six people got to know each other one by one. And the six leaders all looked solemn. Except for smiling when he shook hands with Tian Lu. The expression is always solemn!
After a brief acquaintance, everyone sat down, and then Liu Tong gently knocked on the table. He said: "Professor Tian, I have already explained to you orally what I am going to discuss today, so I can skip the important and significant parts of it, let's go straight to the point!"
"Okay. β
Tian Lu, who had calmed down, nodded, and said, "My task today is to explain this scientific research project to you, or to be precise, to answer everyone's questions, so if you have any questions, please ask now." β
This is the way that Tian Lu and Liu Tong discussed in advance, if this scientific research plan is successful, what can it bring to Huaguo, I believe that no one will not understand, the key is to have doubts in other aspects!
After a brief silence in the room, all eyes were on the Prime Minister.
Obviously, the prime minister is the representative of the people, which was elected before the meeting began, and Liu Tong and the prime minister also reached an agreement, and today he will be fully responsible for the communication and exchange with Tian Lu!
After sorting out his thoughts a little, the premier said: "Professor Tian, we have no doubts about your personal achievements and status in science! And to be honest, since you established Future Biotech, how much you have contributed to Huaguo's biopharmaceutical industry in the past 30 years is also in everyone's eyes and in our hearts. If it is just an ordinary scientific research project, even if it will cost tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars of national funds, I will not frown and grant it to you without hesitation! I don't think anyone here will have an opinion on this point, right?"
After hearing the Prime Minister's words, the other six people all nodded in unison.
Although 100 billion Chinese dollars is a huge number, it seems so insignificant compared to Tian Lu's contribution to China, but the eight Fortune 50 pharmaceutical companies in the future biology have brought economic benefits to China every year, as well as benefits in terms of employment and industrial promotion, I am afraid that there is more than that!
"But the research project you're going to talk about now is different!"
Taking a deep breath, the Prime Minister's expression gradually became solemn: "Its scale is incomparably large, and it requires not only a large number of neuroscience or life science research institutions, but also jΔ«ng secret equipment, cutting-edge materials, bioengineering, information technology, chemistry, γγγγγγ In other fields, it may require the participation of hundreds of scientific research institutions and tens of thousands of scientific research personnel! Moreover, in terms of the need for funds, although it is not too professional, I estimate that it will also require at least trillions of Chinese dollars in research funds! Professor Tian, perhaps my estimate is exaggerated, but such a plan is definitely one of the largest plans since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and we cannot but be cautious!"
Nodding silently, Tian Lu did not refute the other party, because the Prime Minister's words were not exaggerated at all, but in factγγγγγγ
"Professor Tian. β
After taking another breath, the Prime Minister said slowly: "So, we hope that you will be able to answer three questions in detail today, first, you can confirm the studyγγγγγγ Second, if so, how long will it take? Third, if you are the top scientist in the field of scientific research, how much money will be needed for the whole project?"
After saying the last sentence, the prime minister immediately closed his mouth tightly, and then, like the other six people, his eyes were locked on Tian Lu's face.
Liu Tong is no exception!
For a long time, Liu Tong's exchanges with Tian Lu rarely involved this aspect. On the one hand, it is because all the previous funds are provided by Tian Lu, and on the other hand, Tian Lu has always said that he does not have a complete concept, so he cannot be sure for the time being.
But today's words, after all, have to give a conclusion.
"Whewγγγγγ β
Under the gaze of seven people and fourteen eyes, Tian Lu suddenly exhaled heavily, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Liu Tong and others were stunned for a moment!
However, the people in this room did not have to doubt their personal self-cultivation, and although they were surprised by Tian Lu's strange behavior, no one spoke out to interrupt his train of thought. Instead, he waited quietly.
"Chiefs!"
Ten seconds later. At the same time as he opened his radiant eyes, Tian Lu's deep voice also sounded at the same time: "First of all, I want to emphasize one point to you, that is, in scientific research, there is no such thing as 100% sure success!"
Under everyone's slightly stunned gaze. Tian Lu shook his head. He said calmly: "It's like this scientific research project I submitted. All I can say is that I personally have full faith in it and am willing to invest all my wealth and the rest of my life into it. But I still can't assure you that it will be 100% successful!"
Whether it was his expression or tone, Tian Lu was very calm, as if the purpose of his coming here today was not to persuade everyone to agree with his scientific research plan, but purely to chat.
But......
Except for Liu Tong, after the other six people looked at each other a few times, they all nodded secretly.
"As for the timing of completion, I can't say for sure either!"
Tian Lu looked straight ahead and continued: "But I can roughly estimate that if it is only able to meet the minimum needs of the plan, then it will take about nearly thirty years, but if there is enough investment, then I think twenty years will be about the same!"
Thirty years?
Twenty years?
After hearing Tian Lu's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other again, this long time really surprised them, they originally thought that it would be ten or eight years of hard work at most, but they didn't expect it to take so long!
Although he had doubts, no one asked questions for the time being, and Tian Lu's topic also changed, and he continued: "As for the investment of fundsγγγγγγ First of all, allow me to correct the Prime Minister's remarks about the scale of our scientific research project!"
Tian Lu's words suddenly made everyone's jΔ«ng gods concentrate.
The estimation of the scale of the project, including the inputs, is done by the prime minister personally, because such a thing cannot be handed over to anyone else, and the prime minister is also engaged in scientific research, so he is quite familiar with this aspect. But listening to the meaning of Tian Lu's words, it seems that the Prime Minister's estimate is quite different from Tian Lu's thoughts!
In this way, the other leaders who did not know much about the situation naturally thought about it in a small way, but Liu Tong and the premier were in a sudden jump in their hearts and became nervous! The two of them knew a lot, and they knew that Tian Lu's meaning would definitely not be said to be small!
"One thing is good, it's going to be a huge project!"
Tian Lu calmly continued: "But if I want to define this project, then it is definitely not what the prime minister said, it is one of the biggest plans since the founding of the People's Republic of China, because it is the largest plan, there is no one!"
"Sizzleγγγγγγ β
After hearing this, everyone gasped in unison!
Without waiting for everyone to think more about what this so-called no-one means, Tian Lu had already slowly stood up, waved his arm lightly and said: "In the past ten years, in order to let everyone see the experimental results and videos that I will demonstrate for you, I have spent at least 400 billion Chinese dollars, which the Prime Minister should know very well, right?"
In the extremely surprised eyes of the other five, the prime minister nodded silently in agreement.
Not to mention anything else, just the investment in research and development between Tian Lu and those domestic scientific research institutions or enterprises is nearly 100 billion Chinese dollars, and the cost of four moon landings is 100 billion, plus his own purchase of a large number of expensive equipment, experimental animals, consumables and other expenses, the figure of 400 billion is really not outrageous!
Seeing that the prime minister did not deny it, everyone's hearts were shocked at the same time. The eyes that looked at Tian Lu became a little weird.
Everyone knows that China has the richest man in the world, and the amount of wealth far exceeds that of the second richest man in the world, but when I think of Tian Lu paying 400 billion Chinese dollars out of his private pocket for a scientific research project, this feeling is really γγγγγγγ
Then, Tian Lu continued: "What I want to say here is that compared to the cost of the project in the future, 400 billion Chinese dollars is just the beginning!"
"For the last 10 years, I've been more than just experimenting. It's not just about handing over money to other research institutes or companies. I also took this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the most powerful institutions in China! According to the latest evaluation results and my own plan, I hope that 544 institutions will be able to join this study!"
Of course, none of them will know the whole picture. It's just the tasks assigned to them!"
"Although there are only more than 500 scientific research institutions or enterprises. But there are units. For example, the number of people involved in the lunar landing project itself is extremely large, so the number of scientific researchers involved in the end will be as high as more than 100,000! Especially in the later stage, the number of people involved will increase. It will probably end up as many as half a million people!"
"As for the research expenses that everyone is most concerned about, I can now say very responsibly, that is, if you choose a 20-year plan, then its total expenditure is definitely not enough in trillions! As we all know, for so many years, Future Biology has been supporting a huge scientific research system with high scientific research funds, and at the same time obtaining huge economic returns, so according to my experience over the years, it is estimated that to complete this scientific research plan, at least 300,000 funds will be needed! And this is the lowest estimate, if you catch up a little bit in terms of progress, plus inflation and other factors, it is likely to reach more than 40 trillion Chinese dollars!"
"Sizzleγγγγγγ β
As soon as Tian Lu's last sentence fell, the sound of cold air in the conference room was countless times heavier than just now!
Forty trillion Chinese dollars!
This number γγγγγγ
The atmosphere in the conference room seemed to be completely frozen, and as Tian Lu finished his speech, no one spoke, everyone was silent, secretly digesting everything he had just heard!
Tian Lu was also waiting quietly.
In the "history" recorded by the system, this scientific research program was first started by the United States, and by the time the plan finally succeeded, the United States had invested more than $10 trillion in it! The five countries in the world that followed up later, regardless of the final level of technology, invested more or less, but basically they were all about the same, so Tian Lu said the figure of 20 trillion yuan on the basis of his complete understanding of the entire research process, and he could avoid many detours!
But this number is still too large!
On average, 20 years means that 2 trillion Chinese dollars of investment will be needed every year!
Perhaps compared to China's current GDP of 400 billion Chinese dollars and 780 trillion yuan of fiscal revenue, 2 trillion Chinese dollars does not sound particularly high, but don't forget that the total annual investment in scientific research in China is only more than 10 trillion Chinese dollars!
That is to say, the total investment of a scientific research plan in Tianlu should account for more than one-tenth of the total investment in the country!
"This investment is too huge!"
After a long time, the prime minister's voice trembled and said, "It's so big that it's impossible for us to bypass the budget and secretly fund research!"
"There is no need for secret research anymore. β
Sighing softly, Liu Tong waved his hand and said, "The intelligence department has just confirmed that the information that Professor Tian lost a month ago was in the hands of the Americans, and I believe it won't be long before there will be a reaction!"
"That is, it is possible that the Americans are also going to start?"
After hearing Liu Tong's words, the other leader frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Not a possibility, but a certainty!"
Tian Lu said expressionlessly: "Although the information I wrote is not very detailed, the most basic verification tests are still available, and with the technical strength of the Americans, they can draw conclusions in a month at most, so it is certain that they will start to formulate scientific research plans! In this regard, the Americans have never been willing to lag behind!"
Once again, the room was silent!
No one blames Tian Lu for losing that information, it's too late to say anything, and the movement of the Americans can be said to affect everyone's heart, if this plan is really feasible, if the Americans rush to the front of Chinaγγγγγγ
"Absolutely not!"
In an instant, a very strong thought arose in the hearts of almost everyone!
"Chiefs!"
At this time, Tian Lu took another deep breath and said: "I understand everyone's concerns very well, because such a huge investment, but the return is uncertain! But here I want to emphasize that while there is a risk, it means a high return, which can change the scientific research project of the whole country, I think it is absolutely worth it!" At the same time, I would like to make it clear that this scientific research project will not be completely invested by the state, and I will use the two large enterprises of Future Biotechnology Group and Kyoto Pharmaceutical Group as shares, and when necessary, except for the Future Biotechnology Headquarters, all patent ownership and patent sharing contracts, including all assets, cash and patents of Kyoto Pharmaceutical Group, can be transferred!
"Sizzleγγγγγγ β
The prime minister can be sure that the number of times he has taken air conditioning today is probably more than in previous years! He doesn't know about others, but the prime minister himself knows too well the true value of future biology and Kyoto medicine!
In the field of biopharmaceuticals, after 20 years of development, Kyoto Pharmaceutical's turnover now ranks third in the world, although it is not listed, and no specific information is available, but in view of the fact that its products are all excellent patented drugs, high profit margins, and a large number of patents in the experimental stage, the development prospects are promising, so almost the world's financial institutions have ranked its value in the first position!
That is, a market capitalization of more than $400 billion!
As for the patent sales sharing power in the hands of Future Biology, it is worth at least 100 billion US dollars if you remove the possession of Kyoto Pharmaceutical!
Combined, the two add up to at least $600 billion!
If you add to this the huge value of the future creature itself, Tian Lu's title of the richest man in the world's history is well deserved!
600 billion US dollars, more than 2 trillion Chinese dollars!
Being able to put out the greatest personal wealth in history without hesitation and invest in this research project is enough to show Tian Lu's confidence in the whole project!
So after settling the account, the prime minister instantly made a decision in his heart!
The corners of his mouth moved, the prime minister looked at Liu Tong, then looked at the other five, then gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Professor Tian, we have understood what you said, now please leave the conference room for a while and give us some time to discuss, okay?"
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
I'm sorry, it was supposed to be the second chapter last night, but it was too long, and I didn't want to break the chapter, so I waited until it was released today.
Today, Friday, there's a party, so there might only be one chapter in the evening.
