Chapter 726: What is Levulinic Acid
Matthew, Pascal, welcome, welcome, please come in. Zhuo Yang smiled and reached out to take the bouquet of red wine and lilacs from the hands of the two. Matthew, you're free, Pascal, you're a first-time visitor. ”
Matthew Flamini said, "Let it go! The flowers are not for you, I gave them to the eldest sister, hahaha....... Autumn sister, you are more beautiful than flowers. ”
Zhuo Qiu took the bouquet: "Thank you, Matthew." Pascal, please come in. ”
At the villa in Chojan on the shores of Lake Como, Matthew Flamini and his young friend Pascal Granat visited as promised. By the end of the season, Zhuo Yang had a lot to deal with, and during this time the eldest sister had been in Europe, and she was also watching the second leg of the semi-final between AC Milan and Arsenal from the San Siro stands last night.
Today, the team is resting, Zhuo Yang was originally going to Hanover, and in the middle of the week, Koko had to go to class during the day, so he could only fly around, and Hanyin University also had something to deal with. But before yesterday's game, Flamini greeted Zhuo Yang, saying that he had something very important to discuss with him today, and made an appointment to visit.
After the transfer to Milan, Flamini and Zhuo Yang got along very well, although the two have very different personalities and hobbies do not match, but friendship is more unreasonable than love. The two met very early, leaving some impressions on each other in the 2004 League Cup final, and then officially met at Scar Ribery's wedding. It was also that night in Paris that everyone saw Zhuo Qiu's heroic appearance, and everyone on that day, including Madiburg and Scar's teammate Flamini in the French youth team, publicly recommended Zhuo Qiu as the eldest sister.
Flamini is a year and a half older than Zhuo Yang, which is considered his age. His personality and style of life are actually quite similar to Grandpa Mo, modest and steady, wise, easy to play in the scene, and make friends from all over the world. Like his grandfather, Matthew is very righteous, when Xiao Song transferred to Arsenal, Zhuo Yang entrusted people to him, Matthew is indeed very attentive, and he is a trustworthy and trustworthy friend.
Pascal Granat is no stranger either, and Zhuo Yang has dealt with him. Granat is a year older than Flamini, he is Italian, but he grew up in the same neighborhood as Flamini in Marseille when he was a child, and the two have a good relationship, similar to Zhuo Yang and Jiushan Haiyang. Later, Flamini became obsessed with football and served the bowl of rice as a professional player, while Granath went further and further on the road to schooling, so far that his back was blurred, this guy is a chemistry genius.
Although the career choices are different, this does not affect the friendship between the two in the slightest, similar examples are Zhuo Yang and Jiushan, Angus Mullen, chairman of Madiburg, and Karl Norman, professor of Hanyin University.
In 2007, Granate graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of Milan, where he was taught by Nobel laureate Curio Nata. With content and ideas in mind, Granate started his own business in Milan after graduating. He set up a small workshop-style chemical laboratory to turn his idea into reality. It's easy to say that technology and technology are gradual, but he is always troubled by the harassment of some unemployed vagrants.
Granat is a genius of chemistry, not very good at dealing with social affairs, and he is a powerless intellectual, and the ruffians and hooligans come to pick quarrels and provoke trouble every once in a while after tasting the sweetness, Granath has no problem at all.
After complaining to Flamini Jr., Matthew called Zhuo Yang. Zhuo Yang came to visit Granate according to the map, and happened to meet two small ruffians who came to bully the workers in the workshop, and Zhuo Yang was furious on the spot and beat the person down.
He is not stunned, he knows that he can't compete with these social scum, and he can't come to Granat as a bodyguard every day. After pondering for a while, Zhuo Yang called Barbara.
Barbara is the eldest sister of half of Milan City, and Zhuo Yang's request is simply too small for her. Zhuo Yang said: No matter what method you use, my friend can no longer be disturbed here. Later, several leading ruffians were chopped off by the mafia and forced to eat themselves.
It was from that time that Zhuo Yang met Pascal Granat, and he went to see him a few times after that. Granat has Zhuo Yang's number in his mobile phone, so he can say hello if he has something.
.
The guest and host exchanged pleasantries, served tea and coffee, and served fruit, my sister apologized, and went upstairs to read her own book, leaving the space to Zhuo Yang and them.
"Matthew, Pascal. It's all their own people, what's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Zhuo Yang was a little confused about what Flamini wanted to talk to him, and when he asked him yesterday, he said that the matter was very big, and he couldn't say a word or two. And what does it mean that Pascal Granath also came along? Zhuo Yang was too lazy to guess, so he simply got straight to the point.
"That's ......, Pascal, or you." Matthew on the hair.
Pascal Granat nodded, smiling shyly. He took out a thick stack of materials that he didn't know what was printed from the backpack he carried, and put it on the coffee table to Zhuo Yang to start explaining.
It turns out that Pascal Granat, a genius of chemistry, has been working on something called 'levulinic acid' for years, and the great thing about this thing is that it can become a clean energy, a new fuel. With today's technology, it's probably enough to launch rockets and missiles, but replacing gasoline makes cars run fast on the road. That's enough!
This thing was not invented by Granat, but it has always been extracted from oil, and the great thing about Granath is that through several years of research and experimentation, he has found a way to extract levulinic acid from plants, and the technology has become mature.
Imagine what this invention would mean to mankind if oil reserves were to be depleted in the future. Even if oil is not taken into account, this is of strategic importance to any country.
However, Zhuo Yang didn't understand these at all, and he felt very powerful.
"Pascal, you...... Awesome? My admiration for you is like the Yellow River...... The waters of the Rhine, gushing...... But what do you want me to do? ”
"Zhuo Yang, Pascal would like to invite you to invest in this project with me." Flamini said.
"No problem! How much does it cost? "Zhuo Yang thought it was similar to Kaladze's 'fancy dress' nightclub, but he was just carrying a slip and a slit, and hundreds of thousands of dollars were not a problem. Whether to make money or not is secondary, and the friendship with Matthew is worth the price.
"In the initial plan, about 12 million dollars will be needed. Pascal invested in patents and technologies, and we invested in funds to contribute six million each. ”
Zhuo Yang: "......"
