"There's a problem with this little guy."

In Beijing, an old man in charge of scientific research received the news about the transaction between the WEGA stellar simulator of Max Planck Lab and Lu Yi, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile at the other old man sitting opposite him.

The controllable nuclear fusion project represents the future, even if there is no full investment in this area due to various reasons and games, but the attention to this project is still not low, so the news came to the top at once.

"The predecessor of the world's most advanced spiral stone 7-X stellar actually agreed to the deal, it seems that the girl from Xiao Li's family came forward, and the Tomorrow Group shook the interest consortium in Western Europe."

Some of the more potential emerging enterprises in China will have a backup on it, as the latest valuation was raised by Wall Street to nearly 100 billion US dollars, covering the whole country in more than half a year to open up the international market, in one fell swoop to increase the communication rate by 7 to 10 times to reformulate the communication standard compression chip, to which it belongs to the Tomorrow Group has obviously entered the high-level sight.

"But how did I hear that it was that little guy who used a desperate plan to dig up the engineers of Max Planck Labs, so he forced them to trade the WEGA stellar in the first place."

The old man smiled helplessly, I have to say that Lu Yi's strategy is enough, of course, this is also a controllable nuclear fusion-related technology that can only succeed without too many restrictions between countries.

If it involves sensitive technology in the military industry, no matter what you do, Germany will forcibly stop it as soon as it takes power.

"Let the treasury squeeze out some of the funds, and it's time to set up a stellar simulator project."

Another old man shook his head and said, "Otherwise, if that little guy really fails and goes bankrupt, it is estimated that the people will curse, and then the Tokmak device is easy to lose because of the big one, and this time Xiao Wang did it." ”

Being able to get to this position and understand the human nature of the conspiracy is simply to the realm of returning to the basics, it is good that Academician Wang does not come forward, and everyone will see through what he is paying attention to.

A person who is engaged in research is scheming with the above, isn't this equivalent to letting Chen Long and Su Bingtian sprint.

In recent years, because of financial funds and industrial level, it is indeed correct for the EAST project to focus on tokmak, but this does not mean that the stellar mimic should be abandoned.

Strategic plans at the national level never put all the eggs in one basket.

Academician Wang, if they don't take the lead, it is estimated that the stellar simulator will slow down, and now that it is rising, then it must be pressed, otherwise the mentality will swell and the team will not be easy to bring.

Of course, pressing it doesn't mean limiting, and high-level wisdom is not so stupid.

The stellar simulator project, which was originally planned to be officially launched in a few years, was advanced to avoid the bankruptcy of Lu Yi's investment, but there was no movement at the national level that was questioned by the public.

Second, the stellar mimic project was determined, and after competing with Tokmak, it could suppress Academician Wang's inflated psychology.

Only when there is competition can there be pressure, and only when there is pressure can we make faster progress, which is simply a triple win.

The old man in charge of scientific research nodded, wrote down the matter of the stellar simulator project, and then said: "That little guy, should you let Xiao Li tell him to keep a low profile, otherwise it is indeed a bit embarrassing to throw tens of billions of funds and tens of billions of funds into scientific research in such a high-profile manner." ”

The study of controlled nuclear fusion was originally the responsibility of the state, but you did all such things privately, which made it embarrassing for the above.

It's good if it succeeds, it proves that there are many domestic talents, and if it fails, then the people are probably questioning the above.

Therefore, after Lu Yi made a fuss, the above will consider the matter of launching the stellar simulator project as soon as possible.

"No, if the people force us to change, it proves that we are not good enough, there are no violations of laws and regulations, if it is exposed, it will attract greater doubts, and it will also chill people's hearts.

It's a good thing that there are people in China who are willing to devote themselves to scientific research like this, but if they force people away, that's the real loss......"

Lu Yi didn't know what happened above, and he didn't worry too much about it.

After all, there is also a Li Yashan from a special class on his side, whether it is these political thinking and high-level thinking, or the news above, he has a clear understanding and news channels.

If Lu Yi did something too much, Yashan's side would stop it as soon as possible, instead of helping him to do nonsense.

"Professor Rupert, $1.2 billion is the highest price I can make."

Sitting in the conference room of CUHK, not long after the people from Max Planck's lab arrived at CUHK to rest, a group of people were pulled to the conference room by Lu Yi to start formal negotiations.

Because in addition to the superficial transaction, there is already a lot of interest game involved behind it, so both parties did not hire professional negotiators, but started the game themselves.

"Lu, this is impossible, the WEGA stellaratom alone cost more than 800 million euros, which is still more than 800 million euros ten years ago, and more than 2 billion euros including research and development costs."

In the face of Lu Yi's offer, Professor Rupert shook his head resolutely: "The price of $1.5 billion is already due to the fact that everyone is working hard for the future of controlled nuclear fusion, so we agreed to it." ”

"Professor Rupert, money is inflationary, but equipment and instruments also have depreciation rates.

After so many years of construction and shutdown, the WEGA plant must have had some aging damage to the equipment, which has seriously exceeded the added value of monetary inflation.

As for the R&D expenses, this should not be counted, Max Planck Labs is a member of the ITER project, which is a multinational joint project, and the internal implementation is the sharing of technical resources.

$1.2 billion, more than 1.05 billion euros at the current currency exchange rate, which has reserved more than 200 million euros for you in profit margins or technical expenses, which is really fair at this price. ”

As soon as Lu Yi's words came out, the corners of Zhang Qing behind him and the deans and professors of the School of Physics at CUHK twitched a little, and they didn't know what opinions to express for Lu Yi's eyes.

Although WEGA was shut down a few years ago, Max Planck Lab has been well maintained, can be ignited at any time, and there is no depreciation rate of equipment and instruments.

As for the sharing of technical resources in the ITER project, who doesn't know that this regulation is completely fictitious, everyone is cooperating on the surface, and secretly researching more and more undisclosed technologies than one another.

"Lu, it seems that I remember that only the EAST project in Huaguo is a member of the ITER project, and your laboratory is not."

Rupert felt a little painful, such a negotiation was simply a show of talent and a soldier.

The ITER project technology sharing regulations are fictitious, but everyone knows that it is difficult to say it directly, and he can only find out that Lu Yi's laboratory does not belong to the ITER project to refute it.

"Professor Rupert, the application for my lab to join EAST has been sent, and I believe that we will soon be part of the ITER project."

Lu Yi waved his hand, signaling that this was not a problem, as for whether the application was genuine, this was also something that everyone understood.

How could he, who even had to settle accounts for the verification data of the lease quantum computer and the Tokmak device, join the EAST project at will.

It's not that he wants to mess around with price reductions, but in order to make the real transaction of the WEGA stellarite successful, Li Yashan's side has made certain concessions to the German Energy Agency and the French oil giant, the two rich people behind Max Planck Labs, when they are playing the game of interests behind Western Europe.

If it is still trading at $1.5 billion, it will undoubtedly be a bit of a loss.

Professor Rupert also knew about this situation, but the money from the WEGA stellar simulator transaction went into the account of Max Planck Labs, and the concessions made by Li Yashan were given to the rich man behind it.

Now Lu Yi wants to lower the price because of this situation, which is undoubtedly equivalent to a unilateral loss on the side of Max Planck Labs.

"Professor Rupert, you know better than me about the current situation of the international ITER project, although this will be a loss for Max Planck Lab in a short period of time, but this part of the funds will eventually return to your hands."

Lu Yi was silent for a while, then turned the pen in his hand and said: "Now in Western Europe, the formal cooperation agreement between the Tomorrow Group and the major groups in Western Europe has not yet been signed, and they are waiting for news from our side. ”

Professor Rupert's expression froze, how did he not know the situation of the ITER project, in the case of the shrinking project funding of the ITER project, the two big financial people behind the laboratory are the guarantee of the future.

Even if the sale of the WEGA stellarator can get more than a billion dollars, this little money will only be a year or two for Max Planck Labs' stellar simulator research, and if you want to continue the research at that time, you can only get financial support from the Energy Agency and the French oil giant Total.

"$1.4 billion! That's the limit I can promise. ”

Professor Rupert gritted his teeth and said, "The ownership of the WEGA stellarator is not only owned by our Max Planck lab, but we also need to explain to the Hermholtz Society. ”

"$1.4 billion ......"

This price is higher than the psychological estimate of 1.3 billion US dollars, which is a bit of a loss, but seeing Professor Rupert's expression, Lu Yi understands that this is probably the final psychological price of the other party.

Maybe with the help of the power of the rich man behind the other party, it is not impossible to continue to lower the price, but in this way, it will completely tear up the face with Max Planck Labs and Hermholtz Society.

Thinking of the influence and technical level of Max Planck Lab in the physics world, Lu Yi thought for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand and said, "Deal, professor, happy cooperation." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Seeing Lu Yi's outstretched hand, Professor Rupert also quickly stood up, and when the two shook hands, his face was obviously relieved.

For him, this kind of negotiation with his neck pinched really doesn't want a second time.

"Half of the funds will be transferred to Max Planck Lab's account tomorrow, and the remaining half will be transferred after the WEGA stellarator is shipped to China and assembled.

During this time, Professor Rupert can have a good time, as the southern gate of China to the world, and the city of food, Yangcheng will surely satisfy you. ”

After the negotiation was completed, Lu Yi also showed a smile on his face, regardless of whether the $1.4 billion was lost or not, the most important thing is that when the WEGA stellarite is in place, the laboratory's research on the stellarum will officially enter the right track.

When the above technology is thoroughly understood, the research on stellarizers will leap to the top level in the world, and the time saved in the process is not known how many years, which is the real value.
