The city government will not determine the restructuring of the second transportation company within one or two months, and in three or four months, this matter, in Li Lu's opinion, will not make any progress.

So, he decided to grasp an advantage that others did not have, including Hong Kong businessmen, as soon as possible before talking to Vice Mayor Duan about the matter.

His opponent will not be any individual in the mainland, and it is almost impossible to find private enterprises with this strength, but as the forefront of reform and opening up, Yangcheng has too much Hong Kong capital and even overseas Chinese capital that can be used.

With an opponent with incomparable Hong Kong and foreign capital attributes, if Li Lu does not have the capital that can make a decision in one fell swoop, he will definitely lose, and the soup will not be his turn to drink.

He drove back to Lugang, and he didn't go back to Guangming Factory, nor did he go home, so he plunged directly into the Red Star Tractor Factory.

On the other side of the technology building, it is actually the Institute of Materials, mainly Ma Jintao and several of his students are engaged in materials research.

Seeing Li Lu bumping into him, Ma Jintao, who was guiding Jiang Hao and Liu Guobing to do experiments, felt a little nervous for no reason, and had some urge to dodge.

"Xiao Li, you're back, come on, please come to my office and sit down." Ma Jintao hurriedly greeted him and made a gesture of please.

Liu Guisong, who accompanied Li Lu, couldn't help but smile, and when he saw Ma Jintao's gaze, he hurriedly put away his smile.

Li Lu was stunned for a moment, Ma Jintao had always treated him like a grandson, he had never been so polite, there was definitely something wrong here.

"Ma Gong, what are you ......" Li Lu hesitated and said, "You are so polite, I'm not used to it." ”

Ma Jintao glared, "Look at what you said, I usually do this, please come to my office and drink some tea, my tea is good." ”

Li Lu hurriedly smiled bitterly and said, "Ma Gong, just spare me, don't drink the tea first, just tell me directly, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, what's wrong, what can I do, haven't you been back for a long time, I miss it very much." Ma Jintao said.

Li Lu was even more frightened, and said, "Ma Gong, if you are joking, something must be wrong." Say it, I can't handle this. ”

Ma Jintao became embarrassed, but he wanted to speak, he didn't know how to speak, and kept giving Liu Guisong a look. Liu Guisong is now basically responsible for the work of the factory department, assisting Li Yaohua in his work, not only in the role of assistant to the factory director, but also in charge of the work of personnel supervisors.

His work has been fruitful, and a large number of skilled workers and young researchers have basically been found by all kinds of methods that he has exhausted all kinds of methods from all over the country. In these years, the difficulty of poaching an employee from a state-owned enterprise unit is as difficult as that of a fishing gull after 30 years of taking the civil service examination. It is not enough to have sufficient financial support, which just shows Liu Guisong's ability in this regard.

After Gong Dazhu came back with him once, he told others that Assistant Liu usually only took three minutes to convince a person, so Liu Guisong's nickname spread in the factory - Liu Sanfen. More people privately call Liu Guisong a three-minute man.

Perhaps most of the workers are out of admiration, rather than alluding to Liu Guisong's ability in some aspect.

At this moment, Liu Guisong faced Ma Jintao's constant eyes and said, "Ma Gong, let's talk about it." ”

He was also afraid of Li Lu's blame.

"What's the matter, what's going on, what's going on, what's the matter, what are you worried about?" Li Lu was surprised.

At this moment, Jiang Hao and Liu Guobing, who were doing experiments over there, didn't know when they stopped what they were doing, they all looked here, listened carefully to the conversation here, and even looked a little breathless.

Li Lu is even more strange.

Ma Jintao gritted his teeth, sighed, and said, "Okay, anyway, you have to know sooner or later." That's the case, Xiao Li, I spent the one million funds you gave me. ”

"What? Five years of research funding that you spent in less than a year? Li Lu was taken aback.

Ma Jintao's face was very embarrassed, and the look that he didn't think he was spending money indiscriminately nor that he was doing the right thing was even richer in a person like him, who specializes in technology and doesn't know much about human feelings.

"Xiao Li, the money is spent anyway, you can do what you want." Ma Jintao stalked his neck and wanted to explain, but in the end he decided not to explain.

Li Lu's surprised gaze fell on Ma Jintao's face, and then fell on Jiang Hao and Liu Guobing's faces. At this time, Li Lu found that Ma Jintao was a lot haggard, Jiang Hao, who was originally round-faced, had also become a knife-faced, and Liu Guohua's eyes were deeply sunken, but their spirits were very good, to be exact.

Only then did he notice that the three of them had almost lost weight, and the clothes on Ma Jintao's body originally seemed quite suitable, and the same clothes were now leaking!

"Ma Gong, I really don't know what to say about your ......," Li Lu said bitterly.

Liu Guisong saw this situation and hurriedly said, "Third brother, Ma Gong is also thinking about the development of the factory. Technology first, this is what you have always emphasized, only by constantly tracking and studying foreign advanced technology, can there be a foundation for transcendence. As you know, material research is very expensive, sometimes in order to get an accurate data, you have to do thousands of tests, even 99% of the tests are in vain, but in order to find the 1% pair of data, you have to pay 99% of the failure......"

"Wait, wait, Guisong, how do you know so well?" Li Lu interrupted him and asked.

Liu Guisong was stunned and said, "Third brother, you forgot, I was a technician, and I worked on material research for three years before I was transferred to administration. ”

Patting his forehead, Li Lu said, "I remember." Alas, horse workers, you guys are really too powerful, you can't do it like this! ”

Jiang Hao walked over and said, "Third brother, don't blame the teacher for this. It's because our level is limited, others may do hundreds of experiments to get a data, we may have to do thousands of times, once and twice, it will be wasted. Third brother, otherwise, I don't want my salary, I don't want any other allowances, just give me food. ”

Liu Guobing also said, "Yes, third brother, I don't want a salary either, just have food to eat." ”

They clearly saw that Li Lu's eyes were full of tears, and everyone didn't understand what the situation was.

Spend a little more money and don't cry, right? In everyone's impression, the third brother is a very generous and cheerful person, who gives what he wants, and has never asked about funding. The annual research fund of 50,000 yuan promised before suddenly became 200,000 yuan, and he didn't frown.

Why are you crying now, no matter what, a big man shouldn't cry......

Ma Jintao frowned and said, "Xiao Li, it's my side that has no moderation. My government allowance adds up to more than 500 yuan a month, and I will take it all out, and you can give me food as well. Research, we self-fund part of the solution. But I can't pay back the money I spent. ”

Li Lu shook his head slowly, his voice was choking, the man had tears and didn't flick but he didn't get emotional, he said, "Five years of research funds, a full one million, how many experiments do you have to do to spend one million, from the time you started to get to now, it is less than ten months." How did you get here for the past ten months? Tell me, horseman, how many hours a day do you work? ”

Ten months to do five years of experiments, such a concept is not difficult to imagine!

He gritted his teeth and said, with the implication of hating iron and not steel, "I, Li Lu, am not short of money, if you can spend one million, I will have the ability to give you ten million!" But! You can't do research at the expense of your body! Do you understand? ”

This time, it all understands.

It turns out that Li Lu's distress is not about money, but about everyone's physical condition!

Ma Jintao and the others were also moved, and the shock in their hearts was unprecedented. In the face of such a true leader, their misunderstanding disappeared completely, and for Li Lu, there was only more and more respect.

The word respect is applied to a twenty-one-year-old young man, but there is nothing wrong with it.

"Ma Gong, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Liu, you all listen, there is not enough manpower, mention it to the factory department, the money is not enough, mention it to me, the equipment is not enough, directly pull the list, but the fatigue war is resolutely not engaged! Otherwise, I won't spend a penny! ”

Li Lu resolutely said such a sentence.
