Chapter 74: Threats
Academician Wang, they imagined Lu Yi's reaction, first, to ignore it, and second, to refute the content of the article.
They know that a laboratory that is completely privately owned and has not violated laws and regulations is not something that public opinion and the above policies can influence, so they don't expect Lu Yi to close his laboratory because of this article.
Even the attack is a transfer of concepts, and it is a waste of resources to materialize those doctoral students who are interviewed into human resources in China, so that these talents can study stellars in China.
In their opinion, in the face of this public opinion offensive, Lu Yi's biggest possibility is to ignore it and study himself by himself.
Studying controlled nuclear fusion in China, they represent the entire circle of controlled nuclear fusion in China, and Lu Yi's laboratory does not need the above financial funds to care about public opinion, so there is no need to dismantle their platform.
If Lu Yi doesn't say anything and doesn't refute, then the noise that came out before will fade away.
Even if there is an accident because of their youthfulness, it is in their imagination to refute the content of the article.
However, the content in the article is an objective fact, and the more it refutes public opinion, the greater the trouble, and the more the public understands why the stellar simulator is not suitable for domestic conditions.
Almost all domestic experts in the field of controlled nuclear fusion are on the side of Tokmak, and as long as Lu Yi does not make a noise or make a noise, the stellar imitator will not be considered.
Lu Yi retorted that the people understood that the stellar simulator was not suitable, and without the intervention of public opinion, the stellar simulator would still not be considered.
However, the reality was a slap in the face after all, and Lu Yi's reaction did not follow their script at all.
"Woo, my husband finally has a scarf"
"It is worthy of 10 billion yuan, and if you don't agree with it, it is 1.5 billion US dollars"
"Sure enough, this world is unfair, only with money can you have dreams, and without money, you don't even have the qualifications to pursue your dreams."
"I remember when I was in elementary school, my teacher asked me what my dream was, and my answer at that time was to become a scientist, but unfortunately ......"
"Looking forward to Lu 10 billion being successful, the journey is a sea of stars, so that I can have the opportunity to go to space in my lifetime!"
Lu Yi's scarf is not much worse than that of Internet celebrities, and the scarf kept refreshing comments within two minutes of being sent, and the content of the comments was also very friendly.
is different from the hype Internet celebrity, although Lu Yi's behavior of throwing tens of billions into controllable nuclear fusion is not understood by everyone, no one does not have admiration and respect.
"Academician Wang, what are we going to do now?" A professor looked at the comments under Lu Yi's neck, and the envy and jealousy in his heart were about to overflow, and he also wanted to disagree with him for $1.5 billion.
Dean Wang was also silent when he saw these comments, and it was foreseeable that with Lu Yi's emergence this time, the public's admiration for him would rise to a higher level, and the more they would consider the idea of launching a stellar.
Because this is a national strategic project of a different nature, if the country does not keep up, in the end, Lu Yi succeeded, but failed and went bankrupt, then now these admiration is likely to directly turn to the questioning of the country, and the above will not say that this point cannot be considered.
He suddenly found that once Lu Yi didn't follow their script, there was no way to take Lu Yi at all, and this helpless feeling was something that he had never had in the scientific research and academic circle over the years.
"Suspend this matter, let this matter fade as soon as possible, and then everyone concentrate on making a report and submitting it to the above."
Academician Wang exhaled deeply, Lu Yi didn't follow the script, which means that this public opinion guidance has failed, and the most important thing now is to calm things down, otherwise the more lively the public opinion is, the greater the probability of considering the stellar mimic.
It's just that Academician Wang now wants to calm down public opinion, but the development of things is beyond his expectations.
At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, according to the time difference, Germany should be more than 11 o'clock in the morning, in response to Lu Yi's email of 1.5 billion US dollars to buy the WEGA stellator, Max Planck Labs and the Helmholtz Society officially replied that they could negotiate.
"This can't be, this is absolutely impossible!"
When Academician Wang and others received the news, their hearts were full of disbelief.
Although controlled nuclear fusion is generally a state of technology sharing, countries still have their own research outside the scope of shared technology.
As the predecessor of the Spiral Stone 7-X stellarumer, WEGA has too many undisclosed secret technologies on it, and it will not be sold easily.
But now, WEGA, which originally thought that it would not be sold easily, now said that it could negotiate, and what worries them even more is that due to the positive reply from Max Planck's lab, the public opinion that was gradually fading because there is no follow-up has risen again.
"Lu Lu, what did you do?"
In the Guangdong Provincial Laboratory, Zhang Qinglin Meng saw the email replied by Max Planck Laboratory, and the two came with suspicion on their faces.
"Didn't do anything."
Lu Yi, who was involved in the design of the stellar, raised his head and glanced at them, and said, "I sent an email in the morning, and they replied." ”
"Impossible, some time ago, you asked the school to contact you, and Dean Wang even found a relationship at the national level, but they didn't agree."
Zhang Qing was full of disbelief, the WEGA stellarumer with many undisclosed technologies could not be done with money alone, if Lu Yi didn't use other methods, let alone $1.5 billion, $3 billion would not be able to buy it.
"At two o'clock in the afternoon, the international headhunters reported that after this period of hard work, they successfully dug two engineers from the Max Planck laboratory, both of whom had participated in the design and construction of the WEGA stellarite, including the design and construction of the Spiral Stone 7-X."
Lu Yi smiled, put down the notebook in his hand and said with a smile: "Then they also gave me a good news, that is, the liquidated damages of these engineers' non-compete agreements are not expensive, generally only 5 million to 20 million US dollars." ”
Zhang Qing and Lin Meng were stunned, and after a long time, the corners of Zhang Qing's mouth twitched, and he looked at Lu Yi like a beast, and said, "So you called Max Plan's lab and threatened them with poaching?" ”
"How can it be described as a threat, I am giving their engineers a free choice space, I respect human rights in all my actions, and the principle of voluntariness, how can this be said to be a threat."
Lu Yi said with a somewhat proud expression: "I just chatted with Professor Rupert of Max Planck Lab for a while, and said that if WEGA does not agree to sell, I plan to invite their engineers to travel to China with a budget of 1.5 billion US dollars to feel the charm of our scenery in China." ”
He couldn't help but be surprised, it was the first time he found that his image was so useful, if ordinary people and ordinary companies used this reason to force Max Planck Labs, it would not be regarded as the same thing at all.
But who is he? Lu 10 billion, who single-handedly tried to challenge controllable nuclear fusion, in the eyes of others, that is the image of not treating money as money.
Just because you can't poach someone with a budget of $1.5 billion doesn't mean you can't do it.
Therefore, in the face of Lu Yi's cruel words, the Max Planck laboratory had to consider whether it was important for them to have a WEGA stellaratom that had been eliminated and was only waiting to enter the museum, or whether it was important for the group of top engineers in the laboratory.
