Chapter 45 The Pre-Chinese New Year Makeover and DuPont Visitors
Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, the company is rarely idle, led by Xu Qingzhou, the researchers of the laboratory went to the warm Hainan for a vacation and enjoyed the benefits provided by the company.
Xu Qingzhou and the others had just gone to Xiaoshan Airport on the front foot, and Cao Feiyu led people to smash the courtyard wall of the Meiyun Knitting Factory next door, and took the factory and land that originally belonged to Meiyun Company as their own.
A large number of construction machinery entered the site overnight, the steel frame workshop was directly knocked down, and the modular building was inserted into the foundation.
When completed, it will have a new gymnasium with a plastic floor, a bright canteen that meets modern standards, and a 12-storey apartment-style bachelor dormitory.
The core building is the Materials Science Research Center, which will occupy one-third of the existing land, which is quite large.
Unfortunately, Kunlun has only 350 researchers so far, plus 280 administrative, financial, logistical, and other support staff.
Therefore, even if the materials science research center is built, a large part of it can only be temporarily idle, and in the future, it will continue to recruit people to supplement the R&D team.
Gao Yuan sighed, Xu Qingzhou and they went on vacation at the right time, otherwise even if they stayed in the company, I am afraid they would not be able to do anything, excavators and cranes go in and out every day, the road is full of mud, it is really a little chaotic.
Fortunately, this kind of chaos will not last long, looking at the world, in the field of modular buildings, Huaxia's strength is still very strong, and the Huoshenshan Hospital, which was built in ten days during the epidemic, is a typical modular building.
This time, there are two companies that provide construction services for Kunlun Company, namely Yangzhou IMBox, and the central enterprise CIMC Group, if you add Shanghai Youbi Group, it is the three musketeers in the field of Huaxia modular construction.
It's just that UB is a Hong Kong city company behind it, and Gao Yuan doesn't like them for well-known reasons, so he didn't place an order with them.
Plateau people love and hate clearly, and they don't like to eat inside and out.
Ms. Yang, the owner of the world's largest shirt manufacturer and Gangcheng Esquel Group, visited Gao Yuan in person, but in the end she did not make it to Kunlun's list of partners.
Although Ms. Yang swore in front of Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan quietly told Cao Feiyu that he didn't even believe a single punctuation mark in this woman's words.
After all, no snowflake is innocent at the time of an avalanche, and since the Tao is different, let them fall into the mud and sand.
When the time came to the beginning of February, the Kunlun company, which had become a large construction site, suddenly welcomed a special foreigner, Levi, a representative of the DuPont Group, who spoke fluent Chinese.
Plateau looked suspicious and invited Levi into his office.
He was a man in his thirties with curly black hair who looked like he was of Middle Eastern descent, and upon closer questioning, he found out that Levy was Jewish.
"As a foreigner, Mr. Levy is really fluent in Chinese." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know where I learned it?" β
Gao Yuan pondered, compared to those foreign garbage who came to China to cheat money, but refused to learn even a word of Chinese, Levy is a liar, at least a liar with a heart.
Levy smiled and said, "Let's make a living, I graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University." β
Gao Yuan was slightly stunned, thinking of the two Ningbo universities he graduated from, and couldn't help but show envious eyes, "Beiqing is the most difficult school in our Huaxia, if anyone has a student who is admitted to Qingbei, they usually have to hold a banquet to celebrate." β
Levi shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Really? It's easy for a foreigner like me, and a full scholarship is available. β
Nima...
When Gao Yuan heard this, he suddenly had an urge to scold his mother.
He frowned, and said with a straight face: "Since Mr. Levy is here on behalf of the DuPont Group, then we might as well open the skylight and say something." β
Levy bowed his head slightly, "No problem, Mr. Gao also seems to have a cheerful personality, to be honest, I am not only representing the DuPont Group this time, but also representing the other side of the Pacific, some powerful forces that you definitely don't want to touch." β
"Oh?" Gao Yuan smiled, "That's kind of interesting, I'd like to hear about it." β
Levi's eyes were rather mysterious: "There are some people in North America who want me to talk to you about the possibility of opening up technology to each other, and you should also know that DuPont has merged with Dow to form the most powerful chemical group on the planet, holding many patents." β
"For example, our subsidiary, Corning Group, is the strongest presence in the field of silicones in the world, and although Huaxia manufactures almost all of the world's mobile phone products, the vast majority of these mobile phones must use Corning's tempered glass."
"This is just one example, I can cite many, many similar examples, in short, as long as Mr. Gao is willing to open the technology licensing of X fiber, any conditions can be discussed!"
"The market is big, there are many ways to make money, and we can cooperate with each other, so why bother dying? What's more, we still have semiconductor material technology in our hands that China urgently needs. β
Gao Yuan frowned slightly, this price is not high.
As a small company, Gao Yuan only has one trump card in his hands, and Dow DuPont, as the king of geochemical materials, has many technologies that make the world envious.
But any technology that Gao Yuan is interested in can be discussed, even if it is semiconductor chip technology that is suffering from a serious blockade, and the price that needs to be paid is only to share the X-fiber technology with the other party.
Temptation, Gao Yuan has to admit, this is really a huge temptation.
He couldn't help but say in his heart, if he exchanged X fiber for DowDuPont's semiconductor technology, and then bought Huawei's HiSilicon, would he become a new generation of semiconductor giants?
As for why he bought HiSilicon instead of helping HiSilicon, the reason is simple: Gao Yuan did not trust any capitalist from the bottom of his heart, no matter who he was.
It's a pity that YY is just YY after all.
Sighing softly, Gao Yuan said: "Since Mr. Levy is studying Chinese, he must have heard this sentence, cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep peacefully overnight, look at the four realms, and the Qin soldiers are in the end." β
"I'm not a naΓ―ve child anymore, I have long understood your methods, put on huge interests, let the opponent take the initiative to give up the weapons in his hands, and then the Kunlun company, which has no weapons, is a tiger that has lost its teeth, at your mercy."
"I never believe what people say, I only believe what I see in my eyes."
"The Kurds in the Middle East have believed your nonsense in the first place, so they risked their lives to fight from Syria to Iraq, from al-Qaeda to the frenzied ISIS, helping you fight in the north and south, killing and wounding countless people, even women and children went to the battlefield."
"What happened?"
"On October 7, 2019, you left the Kurds behind, withdrew yourself, and threw your loyal allies under the butcher's knife of the chicken."
Perhaps thinking that betraying the Kurds was really not honorable, Levy's face turned slightly red, and he forcibly argued: "Mr. Plateau, what you said is just an example, and sometimes, for the sake of the interests of the United States, we have to make difficult trade-offs. β
"Case?" Gao Yuan let out a sneer, and said in a calm and fast tone: "In 1920 AD, the Ottoman Empire fell apart, and the Kurds saddled up for you, but when the Treaty of Lausanne was signed in 1923 AD, the Iraqis and Syrians were given the opportunity to establish an independent state, but they did not mention the Kurdish demands, this is the first time you have betrayed." β
"Time came to World War II, in 1958 AD, you plotted to subvert Iraq, the Kurds secretly assisted you again, in 1963 AD, with a guy named Sadamu successfully reached the top, you once again abandoned the Kurds, by the way, the napalm that Sadamu threw on the heads of the Kurds, or your money."
"That was your second betrayal of the Kurds."
"In 1970, Iraq fell to the former Soviet Union, and you were unhappy again, so you pulled the Kurds out, led by Kissinger, and engaged in a plan to arm the Kurds, threatening Iraq not to get too close to the former Soviet Union, and then, the Kurds reaped a bloody massacre, obviously with the weapons you provided, but you pretended that nothing happened."
"The third time, the hapless Kurds were sold by you again."
"In 1991, the Gulf War began, and I didn't bother to mention it, every time you encounter difficulties, you think of the Kurds, every time the Kurds are slaughtered, you pretend not to see it, and be friends with you, the Kurds have really fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, and have been betrayed again and again, but with their tenacity, they have survived again and again."
There was a slight chill in his eyes, and Gao Yuan let out a sneer and said, "Mr. Levy, you don't really think that I am young and never read history, do you?" β
