"Edmund, what's the result?"

Seeing a drop of sweat on the forehead of the monk with a gloomy face, and slowly opening his eyes, Bishop Nance immediately asked.

He trusted Edmund's judgment very much, after all, the Ode Holy See had never heard of a wizard who could hide from a perceiver of this level, but Bill didn't know that the way to hide his ability was the witchcraft that had only been developed in the wizarding world in the last ten years.

Due to the differences between male and female witches in terms of blood composition, the witchcraft of male witches to perfectly conceal their identities appeared later than witches, and was less convenient than witches.

No wizard would voluntarily disclose this kind of information to someone who is not of wizard blood, and this is also a silent agreement made within wizards.

"There is no problem, there are only two people in this area, both ordinary people. ”

"It's okay, let's go. ”

Telling the driver to continue driving towards the top of the mountain, Bishop Nance did not forget to turn back and admonish.

"Edmund, your injuries haven't fully healed, so you don't need to go around the mental hospital with me, there has never been a problem here, and regular rounds here are just a formality. ”

"Don't use your abilities anymore in the near future, the consumption of physical and mental strength is huge, and I don't want you to have an accident near Brittus. ”

Bishop Nance patted Edmund on the shoulder with a stern look of concern, and only after receiving his stiff nod in response did the steam wagon go up the forest path, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Bill turned his head and saw that the people of the Ode Church had moved away, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to drive the carriage away.

After a night of torrential rain, the government finally received a reply from the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences in an anxious wait, and the actions of the neighboring countries were becoming more and more rampant, and it was necessary for the new government to re-establish the image of Norman military power in the wake of social unrest.

Government officials warmly received Mr. Dean, who was present in Brittus, and his best partner, Professor Bedoli.

They then had a private and heated conversation with the new Prime Minister, but no one knew what they had said except for Mr. Dean, Professor Beddo, the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister's secretary.

However, after they finished their conversation, Professor Badley and the Prime Minister both rushed out of the office in a rage, while the Dean and the Prime Minister's secretary looked at each other helplessly and shook hands with him to say goodbye.

When they returned to the steam cart parked under the government building, Professor Bedoli was relieved to change his angry expression.

"I didn't expect him to agree to our proposal, I thought that the government would have to hold three cabinet meetings before giving an accurate answer, and our new prime minister seems to have taken over the power. ”

"Suddenly most of the people in power will be like this, and that's the fundamental reason why Prime Minister Richard is dealing with us privately, and we used to be too high-minded. ”

"As long as the research of the institute can support him to wield more power, he can even care that the institute reaps some benefits from it, after all, he has no military power in his hands. ”

Mr. Dean casually replied that although he had no intention of getting involved in politics, he had always seen the political situation very clearly, which was why he tried to withdraw the institute from politics.

However, one of the biggest drawbacks of blindly withdrawing from politics is that in the face of those in power who are eager to take everything into their own hands, it will make those in power distrust the institute, and the new prime minister is the best example.

So today, when the institute arrives with demands, the new prime minister, despite his outward anger, accepts them.

This would be tantamount to tying the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences to the new government, so that the government would not need to crack down on existing scientific institutions and prop up others.

After fastening his seatbelts and waiting to depart, the steam car slowly started under the control of Professor Bedoli.

"By the way, no one can say anything about this after you go back, there are still two months left before the agreed time given by the Brotherhood, and let the government deal with this arrogant underground organization during this time. ”

"Of course, I understand that the government should have wanted to eradicate them a long time ago because of the threat of such an organization of unknown origin......"

Professor Bedley drove away from the city of Brittus, where the sun was shining, but people were busier with their lives.

Just across the street from the government office, Bill was busy visiting Brittus' steel and equipment company with William.

The tasks required to set up a car processing plant on your own are more complex than you think, from company approvals, to land acquisition and factory construction, to connecting purchase channels and publicity tools......

For the rest of the year, Bill spent all the time in a hurry, and of course this was indispensable for Lao Wei's help, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to think everything through.

Moreover, Lao Wei also asked the residents of the North District to help unload the goods, including after the factory began to be built, the residents of the North District were also extremely enthusiastic to participate in it.

During this time, Bill was so busy that he barely had time to go home, and like Norman's nascent entrepreneurs, he devoted himself to the road of starting a business.

Today is the fifth day of Bill's overnight stay, and with Lao Wei watching the construction of the factory, he feels that everything is on track, and he finally has time to go home and take a shower and sleep comfortably in bed.

However, when he returned to the villa, he found that Esther was not at home, and did not leave a note stating where she had gone and when she would return.

Next to the wood-burning fireplace, a letter from the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences sits on a coffee table.

"Dear Mr. Bill, forgive us for expressing our intentions in the form of letters. 」

"Since you've been busy, we can't know exactly where you are, so we hope you'll come to the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences after reading this letter and continue the conversation from the previous one. 」

"You are always welcome at the Institute, our address is ......."

Pulling out a match, throwing the letter paper into the fireplace, and quickly taking a cold shower, Bill set off for this scientific research institution with a high status in today's society.

It's a bit of a long way to go, but the location of the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences is easy to find.

There is an avenue from Wudu to the research institute, and there are gas street lamps made of black iron on the side of the road, and scattered villages stretch to both sides.

At the end of the dim two rows of gas lamps, a spire complex the size of the town of Whitbit appeared in front of Bill, a large number of three- and four-story buildings lit up, like stars rising from the ground in the dark night.

The complex was surrounded by a three-meter-high gray brick wall, and there was an iron gate at the entrance, and the doorman sat leisurely on a chair counting the stars in the sky, and quickly got up and came to Bill after seeing the carriage.

"Sir, who are you looking for, do you have an appointment?"

"My name is Williams Cliff, and I was asked by your dean to come here, and he said I could come to him at any time. ”

"It turns out that you are Mr. Cliff, the dean, he has been waiting for you for several days, and he specially told me that as long as you come, you can come in and find him at any time!"

When the doorman heard Bill's name, he immediately went from being respectful to being very respectful, and without asking anything, he opened the big iron door and invited Bill to enter the territory belonging to the research institute.

"The dean's office is over there, on the top floor of the blue scientific research building in the middle of the laboratory building, and he should still be in the office at this time. ”

"Hmm. ”

Following the direction of the janitor, Bill quickly found the building where the dean's office was located, and as he drove around the institute in a horse-drawn carriage, he saw that the Norman Royal Academy of Natural Sciences resembled a university campus in his own time.

Far from the city, it has its own living and entertainment areas, and of course most of the low-rise buildings are mainly used for scientific research, but there are canteens and playgrounds in between.

Scientists and researchers hurried past with data borrowed from the library, many with black-framed eyes, white lab coats, and messy hair.

This inevitably reminded Bill of his college days, as well as those friends he could never find again, and the old days that he could never go back to.

Bang bang on the door of the dean's office, a familiar voice sounded, the assistant dean opened the door, and was a little confused after seeing the strange Bill.

"Sorry, may I ask you ......"

"Hurry up and invite Mr. Cliff in, you go and call Professor Bedley now, I have very important business to discuss with Mr. Cliff. ”

"Yes, Mr. Dean!"

The assistant dean ran as fast as he could, to another laboratory building to find Professor Bedley, and Mr. Dean quickly came to Bill, and his right hand was a little excited.

"You're here at last, Mr. Cliff!"

"Well, I've been a little busy lately, so I just saw your letter. ”

Bill hesitated for a moment, but still didn't take off the black cotton gloves, shook hands with the dean, and sat down on the sofa.

"The last time we talked about it, you communicated with the government so quickly?"

"Mr. Cliff, I really want to thank you for this, if it weren't for you forcing us to make a choice, the Institute doesn't know when it will be hard to get up. ”

Brewing tea for Bill with a smile, the sweet tea aroma emerged as the tea leaves stretched a little bit, and the dean continued to explain.

"Including the advice you made to the institute last time, and the subsequent distribution of coal nuclear profits, we have all had a careful and in-depth discussion with Prime Minister Richard. ”

"The Prime Minister is not an unreasonable man, and for the sake of the honor and the big picture of Norman as a whole, he has embraced our ideal of opening an academy to better disseminate technology to more people. ”

At the same time, Prime Minister Richard attaches great importance to the quality of emerging industries such as the automobile industry, and promised to convene a parliament to promote the establishment of quality control laws and related mechanisms, and to set up a quality management bureau in the research institute, which is responsible for inspection. ”

After hearing this, Bill nodded, the new chief is not an idiot, he naturally will not refuse such a proposal that is beneficial to the image of the government and social progress.

Bill was more concerned about the other issue.

"I just want to talk about the follow-up benefit distribution of coal cores, how you can talk about the benefits of the capitalists, and the institute is more trustworthy than I imagined. ”

"Hehe, it's just that we are lucky, he has just been pushed to the front by the capitalists, and he can't wait to encircle all the valuable forces. ”

"After all, power is the basis for getting more gold pounds, and if you can sit in the current position, Prime Minister Richard will not lose the overall situation because of petty profits, and he is willing to share 10% of the profits with the Institute. ”

Mr. Dean spoke calmly to Bill, as if at the moment they were only discussing the old story next door, not the Prime Minister who was calling for trouble in Norman.

"You're right, the guy who got this far can't be a fool, but even the smartest person suddenly becomes prime minister. ”

"That's why Prime Minister Richard is willing to use more interests to tie the institute to himself, after all, it is very important for those in power to have the most cutting-edge technology in their hands......"

Squeak –

As soon as Bill's words were finished, the door to the dean's office was opened again, and the assistant finally arrived with Professor Beddory, politely leaving the office and closing the door.

Professor Bedley moved a chair and sat across from Bill, nodding hello to Mr. Dean and Bill, respectively.

"Alright, now that Professor Bedley is here, Mr. Cliff, I think we can have a serious conversation about what is going on between you and the Institute. ”

Mr. Dean finally said with a straight face, and he took out a document from his locked desk containing a contract signed between the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences and the Norman government.

It clearly states that the government entrusts the research institute to carry out the technical development work related to coal nuclear power, and undertakes the scientific research funds in the research and development process, and at the same time gives 10% of the shares of the research institute on the grounds of technology shareholding.

Bill repeatedly checked the cooperation documents printed with the official seal of the red government several times, and confirmed that the institute did not make a fake document to deceive itself, after all, the human heart is the most unpredictable.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cliff, since we have sincerely invited you to join the Institute, we will not cheat on this kind of thing. ”

“...... Of course I believe you, Mr. Dean, that trust is the foundation of our cooperation. ”

Putting the contract back in the file bag, Bill handed the document back to Mr. Dean, and then took another document from Mr. Dean.

Inside this document is an employment contract.

"In the past few days, I have drawn up a contract for the employment of special scientific researchers, which is a little different from the contracts of other personnel in the institute, after all, Mr. Cliff, you were not admitted to our institute through normal channels. ”

"In addition to the most basic workbook and non-disclosure agreement, there is also a principle about the amount of profit you can make if you make a special contribution to the Institute. ”

Opening the portfolio to check the contract, Bill focused on the terms of the distribution of benefits, which simply means that all the wages that Bill can receive are distributed according to the degree of contribution.

Taking coal nuclear safety mining technology as an example, since Bill has the key technology, the follow-up research and development work will be completed by the research institute.

Therefore, the institute is willing to give Bill 3 percent of the 100 percent stake if all goes well, but only for the benefit of selling coal.

If Bill hadn't been involved in other research on the coal core, he wouldn't have been paid, although the institute has listed another way of buying out.

If Bill thinks that the long-term benefits are troublesome, and the research institute can directly buy Bill's shares, then all the future profits of this technology will have nothing to do with Bill.

Bill is not unhappy with this kind of clause, after all, he is only a person, and the institute has the government and countless top scientific talents in various fields.

Even a three-percent proceed from the sale of coal cores is definitely not a small amount, and there is a hidden benefit to these provisions.

It is the first-hand information of the latest technology in the current society!

The tea on the coffee table was a little cold, and seeing that Bill didn't have any negative emotions, Mr. Dean slowly spoke again.

"Mr. Cliff, if you don't have any doubts, I think we can proceed with the most important part of this transaction. ”

"What is the way to safely mine coal cores?"
