Chapter 189: Negotiations with Lucas begin

To meet with the people in Shodler's laboratory, Wei Jing chose to be at the Peace Hotel in the magic capital.

Fang Yuan and Ning Ling's car stopped at the door of the Peace Hotel, and soon a doorman walked out directly to greet them, and at this time, Fang Yuan saw Wei Jing and Wei Yang who had been waiting at the door.

"Fang Dong!" Wei Yang greeted him, and the Dusit chaebol's branch in Asia was in the magic capital, and this time Fang Yuan came to the magic capital, which was also arranged by Wei Yang.

Fang Yuan nodded and patted Wei Yang's shoulder, "It's hard work." ”

Wei Jing walked up and said to Fang Yuan: "My mentor and his team have come, and I have already arranged for them to stay, Fang Yuan, I hope you can negotiate this deal with my mentor, but I don't want you to be able to open your mouth, you also know that if liquid hydrogen energy can really be successfully developed, how much benefit it will bring to the whole society, it is immeasurable." ”

Fang Yuan laughed, "Wei Jing, I'm afraid I haven't told your mentor about this advice, right?" ”

Wei Jing's cheeks flushed slightly.

Ning Ling looked at Fang Yuan, this was completely different from the man she knew, Fang Ling at this time seemed to be far away and very close, Fang Yuan brought her too much surprise.

Wei Jing shook her head and looked at Ning Ling behind Fang Yuan, a slight sense of loss appeared in her heart, how could there always be a beautiful woman by Fang Yuan's side? Slightly stunned, Wei Jing retracted her mind and said to Fang Yuan: "Everyone is here to ask for cooperation, Fang Yuan, my mentor is different from you, he is a scholar, not a businessman. ”

Fang Yuan nodded in response, "So, I left enough respect for your mentor!" ”

Arrange Ning Ling, the presidential suite of the Peace Hotel, it is simply a magnificent palace, even the well-informed Ning Ling came here, and was deeply shocked by the luxury of this presidential suite, Ning Ling always felt that from the beginning of stepping into the magic capital, he seemed to have fallen into a dream.

"Hello, this is Dr. Lucas of the most famous Shorer Laboratory in England, he is also a senior professor at the International Energy Association, and he is also a high-level talent selected for the think tank of the World Federation for Future Research." Wei Jing introduced.

Fang Yuan's gaze fell on the middle-aged sloppy man with thick glasses, this Professor Lucas looked a little wooden, and he was also a little impatient, his brows had been locked deeply, as if he had fallen into some kind of contemplation, Wei Jing didn't even have the least politeness when introducing himself.

And at this time, Wei Jing showed an apologetic smile at Fang Yuan, it seemed that she was used to such an extremely bad performance of her mentor, Wei Jing said with a smile: "I'm sorry." ”

Fang Yuan's face didn't show impatience, he waited so patiently, and after a while, Lucas raised his head, then pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly to Fang Yuan: "I'm sorry, I just got distracted, Mr. Fang, I have seen your investment plan, I want to tell you frankly, in my heart, you are not the most ideal partner in my mind, and you don't seem to have any business connection with energy." I've always felt that working with you is a waste of time, sorry, please forgive me for being direct, but my team believes that only by working with you can we get through this most difficult time. ”

Professor Lucas said very sincerely, and he didn't care about the embarrassment of others at this time, he suddenly stood up and said slowly: "Mr. Fang, after personally confirming it, I think you are not a suitable investor. ”

Fang Yuan didn't get angry, but said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, the helium turbine expander is the core component of the helium refrigerated hydrogen liquefier, right?" ”

Fang Yuan stared at Lucas confidently and continued: "The helium turboexpander is what determines the liquefaction capacity, energy consumption and stability of the helium refrigerated hydrogen liquefier. It needs to reach a speed of more than 100,000 revolutions per minute at a temperature of less than 50 K, continuously withstand the impact of a high-pressure high-speed air flow of 20 bar, and must achieve an adiabatic efficiency of more than 65%. ”

Although Fang Yuan's speed of speech was not fast, Lucas's footsteps that were already about to leave directly stopped, turned his head, and looked at Fang Yuan in amazement, as if he had encountered the most incredible thing, and there were a few more flashes of brilliance in his eyes.

Lucas asked directly: "So how do you do it?" ”

Fang Yuan said seriously: "The use of gas lubrication gas bearings, if I remember correctly, should need to use five-axis precision CNC machine tools for processing, and there are extremely high requirements for machining accuracy. Professor Lucas, I guess I'm not mistaken, right? ”

Lucas sat back directly, and sat in front of Fang Yuan again, his eyes stared straight at Fang Yuan, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a smile, only exploring endless knowledge could arouse his interest, and the guy in front of him, who looked young, had indeed found an opportunity to talk to himself, and this opportunity was grasped just right. Lucas said seriously: "Unexpectedly, it seems that you have done a lot of homework!" ”

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders directly and said lightly: "No way, after all, this is not the field I am involved in and good at. ”

"Haha!" Professor Lucas laughed and said seriously: "Fang Dong, it seems that I need to get to know you again, I am Joey Lucas. ”

Fang Yuan's decision to invest in Shodler Labs was reckless, but he believed that Bhadra Power Systems, Bhadra Power Systems would not be hot-headed, and they were bullish on liquid hydrogen because they believed that liquid hydrogen energy could bring them good returns. But the research cycle of the Schudler laboratory was so long that it greatly exceeded the expectations of Bhadra Power Systems, so they had to switch to proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

After that, Fang Yuan learned everything about liquid hydrogen energy, and now he can get an axe in front of Lucas.

Although what Fang Yuan said was very simple and easy to understand in their circle, it was sincere enough for Fang Yuan, who was outside the circle.

"Fang Yuan! Heir to Duster! ”

The negotiations between the two sides began quickly, for Fang Yuan and Lucas, the two became outsiders, and the investment in Shodler Labs was the Duster chaebol, and this time the Duster chaebol also invited a professional team to negotiate, and the two main contacts became passers-by.

"Fang Dong, our experiment has entered a critical stage, and the short-term vision of Bhadra Power Systems will become a big loss for them." Lucas said solemnly.

Fang Yuan shook his head, "Professor Lucas, you are engaged in scientific research, maybe you don't know about us who do business, in our eyes, all investments are rewarded, not the short-sightedness of the Badera power system, but that they can't afford your long and fruitless test cycle." ”

"Liquid hydrogen is the cleanest and cleanest source of energy!" Professor Lucas was conclusive.

"I know, maybe I'm going to make you angry if I say that, what if your research is wrong? Professor Lucas, when the time comes, all the investment will not be recovered, I hope you can understand that the most important thing for us businessmen is profit, and if there is no money to be made, I will not invest. Fang Yuan said very sincerely.

Lucas fell silent.

For him, research is a sacred cause, which should not be contaminated by the world and money, but the current dilemma is that if he wants to carry out his research, it is impossible to do it without money, and he is also reflecting on himself, but through reflection, he found the contradiction between the two that cannot be reconciled.

Fang Yuan's appearance did make him happy, but when he knew that Fang Yuan's group had not been involved in the energy field before, Lucas hesitated, after all, for Lucas, Fang Yuan's reputation accounted for a large proportion, Lucas believed that his research would be successful, and he also wanted to gain greater praise through this kind of research, and even become a Nobel Prize winner, but the premise was that he had to make achievements. One of the big criteria for judging the Nobel Prize is whether it has had an extremely far-reaching impact on human progress. What is the most far-reaching impact is the popularization and acceptance of liquid hydrogen energy.

"I wonder if if your Dusit plutocracy will get involved in the energy sector next if my experiment is successful?" Lucas voiced the doubts in his mind.

Fang Yuan definitely said: "That's inevitable, our Dusit chaebol started in the luxury industry, but we also need to expand our business scope, and energy is one of the several areas we plan to enter, Professor Lucas, please believe in our Dusit determination." ”

"I only care about the progress of my experiment now, in fact, if it weren't for your strong invitation, I would never come to Huaguo, I would rather stay in my laboratory, but I still want to thank you for the invitation." Lucas said calmly.

Fang Yuan smiled, this is a typical scholar's atmosphere. However, Fang Yuan can also understand Lucas, he is a professor, and his identity is a chairman.

The negotiation with Lucas was not too smooth, although Lucas was not a businessman, but he knew how to leave professional things to specialized people to do, and the people Lucas brought were experts in this area, which made Lucas feel relieved, but he was worried about the research in his laboratory, so after meeting with Fang Yuanyuan, he returned to England, and here, only those negotiators were left.

Peace Hotel, the most famous hotel in China that has been open for more than 100 years, Fang Yuan and Ning Ling are sitting on the table in the Western restaurant, with a light blue tablecloth and a bottle of red wine that is waking up.

"Chairman Fang, if it weren't for Grandpa Tang breaking your identity, would you still be ready to lurk by my side all the time?"

Ning Ling's face was serious, and it could be seen that she was very unhappy at this moment.

Fang Yuan knew that it was a blessing or a curse, and it was a disaster that could not be avoided!
