Chapter 75: Pick-up

"Fack! Fack! This is simply a hooligan, a cancer in the academic world, and we must work together to resist him! ”

"How to resist? Don't forget that it is shaking up the entire international communications industry and reformulating international communication standards.

Don't forget that because the world has been unable to develop such an efficient compression algorithm, this emerging giant company has formed a semi-technical monopoly, and its valuation has been raised to $86 billion by the Wall Street vampires, and he is the majority shareholder.

Rupert, can you resist the banknotes? Or will the consortium behind us be able to resist the banknotes? ”

Ten days later, Rupert from the Max Planck Laboratory, who was from Berlin and transferred from Beijing to Yangcheng, walked out of the plane while cursing.

He didn't want to come, even if he had to say that the WEGA stellar could be negotiated under Lu Yi's threat, he didn't want to come to Huaguo to negotiate in person, in his heart, this should be Lu Yi's past to Germany.

It's just that Lu Yi issued a threat to poach all the engineers in Max Planck's laboratory, and the communication business controlled by Li Yashan officially began to land in the Western European market.

Then, after a series of interests of the upper-level consortium, from the communications industry to the energy industry, the German Energy Agency and the French oil giant Total actually issued a notice to Max Planck Laboratories, so that his old bones had to go to China in person, and asked the negotiations to be more leisurely.

What does it mean to be leisurely? You just say that Lu Yi has the final say, just give him the WEGA stellarator.

Rupert held back the fire in his belly, but he had nowhere to vent at all, because it was the rich man behind their Max Planck lab who spoke, and in the academic world, whoever has the funds will die for his father.

There are three main sources of funding for Max Planck Labs, the ITER project, the German Energy Agency, and the French oil giant Total.

"Professor Rupert, welcome to China."

When Max Planck Lab walked out of the airport, Lu Yi and others, who were already waiting in the terminal, hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Although in the capital game behind it, Max Planck Labs had to come to Huaguo to negotiate the sale of WEGA, in the academic physics community, Max Planck Labs still needs to be given enough respect.

"Lu, we can officially enter the negotiation, can the headhunters you hired stop moving, my God, we are dug up like this, we don't know how much we will have to pay to appease our engineers afterwards."

Professor Rupert, who was still complaining angrily just now, had already put on a smiling face in the face of Lu Yi at this time, and begged Lu Yi to suspend the actions of the international headhunter.

These days, under the impact of international headhunters, now Max Planck Labs is restless and is about to interfere with normal research work.

"Of course, I stopped the headhunters when you decided to come to China, and we were still very friendly.

In addition, the two engineers who have signed the contract only need to help us understand the technology on WEGA, and your Max Planck laboratory can recall it at any time in the future. ”

"No, no, no, they should leave it to the laboratory on Lu's side, although I understand their choice, but I still can't accept and face it in my heart, they are all the world's top stellar engineers, I believe they can bring enough help to Lu's research."

Professor Rupert hurriedly shook his head, although he was very reluctant to the two engineers who participated in the design and research of the WEGA and Spiral Stone 7-X generation stellarumers, he didn't want to be remembered by Lu Yi because of this matter.

As for the act of being poached, which is common in the Western capitalist world, Professor Rupert does not feel much of it.

"Then thank you, Professor Rupert, for the trouble caused to you during this time, I am willing to donate 10 million US dollars to Max Planck Labs free of charge, hoping that your stellar mimic research can be commercialized as soon as possible."

If he didn't want to tear his face with Max Planck Labs, Lu Yi wouldn't be willing to let those two engineers go.

Participated in the design and construction of two generations of stellarumers in Max Planck Labs, and the potential of scientists may not be very high, but the experience and knowledge in stellarers are absolutely world-class.

Such talents will be of great help to promote the research of stellarumers in the laboratory in the early stage.

"Then thank you Lu, and I wish you an early breakthrough in your research."

Professor Rupert nodded and accepted Lu Yi's donation of $10 million, which also represents the official resolution of the previous conflict between the two sides.

This kind of settlement is also something that Lu Yi is willing to accept, after all, the capital game behind it is indispensable, and letting the consortium behind Max Planck Labs come forward is much higher than the price of 10 million US dollars, and it will be more annoying.

"Professor Rupert, please come here, let's go back to CUHK first, and then we will formally discuss the matter of WEGA after a short rest."

At this time, Dean Wang of the School of Physics of CUHK walked out, as the Dean of the School of Physics, how could he let go of such a thing as the Maple Lab to negotiate the WEGA stellar deal, and the popularity of the school was a great fame boost.

Lu Yi also had no opinion on the behavior of his alma mater, shrugged his shoulders and said hello to the fans around him who were blocked from coming, and walked forward while chatting with Professor Rupert under the leadership of Dean Wang.

"Who are these foreign old men, why do you need our Lu Lu to personally pick up and receive them?" The surrounding Lu Yi's fans watched a group of people leave the airport and looked at each other with some doubts.

In terms of age, Professor Rupert and others are between 30 and 48 years old, and none of them are more than 50 years old.

It's just that foreigners have always looked old, and perennial research on the bald hair of different degrees also gives them a bonus to their age, so in the eyes of people who don't know in China, this is a group of foreign old men.

"The one in front seems to be the dean of the School of Physics at CUHK, so the identity of those foreigners should be unusual, could it be that Lu Wanyi's scarf was really successful some time ago? Are these foreigners from Max Planck Labs and the Helmholtz Society? ”

Another passer-by with a clear logical mind recognized Dean Wang in front of him, and probably reasoned in his mind and came to an astonishing conclusion.

"Is that $1.5 billion WEGG scarf?" His girlfriend next to him was shocked.

"It's WEGA! A stellaroid device for controlled nuclear fusion. ”

"Controlled nuclear fusion is possible?"

"No, it's just a test setup."

"Didn't you still sell this expensive?" My girlfriend doesn't believe that a semi-finished test device can be sold for $1.5 billion?

"The materials and technologies contained in the stellar simulator include engineering processes...... Alas, you don't understand it! ”

The logical thinking boyfriend gave up the idea of explaining halfway through when he saw his girlfriend's confused appearance, and explained to a woman who never paid attention to or understood this matter what a stellar was, and why it was so expensive, which can undoubtedly make people collapse.
