Chapter 512: Food Empire

That night, Xu's father hosted a banquet for Professor Huang.

Xu Dong accompanied.

Professor Huang neither sold the company's shares, nor did he promise Xu's father to keep him, and it seems that he is still hesitating.

Or sell at a price!

The banquet venue was in the hotel where the father and son stayed, and Xu Dong personally came forward and brought the other party back to the room.

Seeing someone coming, Dad Xu immediately stood up:

"Professor Huang, please take a seat."

"Dong Xu, your big deal just now scared all of us!"

"Haha, it's a pity that I didn't keep all the shareholders."

Dad Xu had a trace of regret on his face.

Professor Huang shook his head: "What's the pity? In addition to your 10 billion, the company has pulled in more than 200 million funds, which is already more than in previous years combined. ”

"It seems that I'm not the only one who likes to gamble!"

"Xu Dong, you are serious, I think it should be called far-sighted."

Professor Huang smiled and complimented.

He is a person with big ambitions, but the reality is often so helpless, there are too many constraints, especially the capital side, which has always lacked patience.

is already good like Mr. Zhen.

Dad Xu took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "Then Professor Huang, I don't know if you want to stay?" Let's work together to build Xinke Seaweed into a world-famous enterprise. ”

"Of course I do!" Professor Huang still did not hesitate and said, "But I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it!" ”

"Humble!"

Xu Dong took the opportunity to interject: "Dad, Professor Huang, let's sit down and talk while eating, shall we?" ”

"Yes, yes, Professor Huang, hurry up and take a seat."

Dad Xu hurriedly agreed.

Dinner was simple, with only one meal and one dish.

A plate of rice balls, plus a plate of pulled beef.

Next, the three of them didn't say anything more, and hurried to fill their stomachs.

When the rice ball is cold, it doesn't taste good.

After the meal, Xu Dong made a pot of green tea and poured a cup for each person.

Professor Huang sipped the green tea, revealing a look of intoxication.

"Good tea, really good tea!"

"This is a special Longjing tea in China, I also managed to get half a catty, my father and I are rough people, I can't drink it good or bad, Professor Huang, if you like it, wait and take it back directly!"

It's called buying horse bones!

Professor Huang hurriedly waved his hand: "A gentleman doesn't take advantage of others, just a cup is enough." ”

"What's one cup? Professor Huang, if you are willing to go to the capital, I will invite you to tea every day. ”

Dad Xu took the opportunity to persuade him.

Professor Huang put down the teacup and said solemnly:

"Dong Xu, I also know that the scientific research environment in the capital is good, it's not that I don't want to go, but I'm worried!"

"Professor Huang, let's open the skylight today and say something bright, if there is anything, we will definitely help you solve it, even if it can't be solved, we will try to find an alternative."

Dad Xu showed his sincerity.

Professor Huang nodded, and began to throw out the first worry: "Dong Xu, I want you to tell me the real situation, you don't hesitate to spend a lot of money, what are you trying to do?" Is it a disguised enclosure? Or is it a fraud policy subsidy? Or is it something else? ”

"Hehe, Professor Huang, you're definitely worried about this. I'm willing to spend so much money for one purpose, and that's to build a food empire. ”

"Food empire?" Professor Huang looked puzzled.

"That's right, we have a bread factory at home, I'm sure you've heard of it."

"Coke brand bread, of course I know."

Xu continued: "One thing that makes our bread different from other families is that the proportion of seaweed is getting higher and higher. ”

"Is it our company's seaweed?"

"Yes, although there are many shortcomings in the seaweed powder produced by Xinke Seaweed, especially the seriously low starch content, it is undeniable that it has a huge advantage."

"Oh? What is it? ”

"It greatly reduces the bread factory's dependence on raw materials, and seaweed is not really food after all, and it is not strictly controlled.

As long as 'Tamamo No. 3' continues to be optimized, I believe that one day, our seaweed will be comparable to rice and wheat and become a daily staple food." ”

"Dong Xu." Professor Huang showed a wry smile, "I won't hide it from you, your idea is not impossible to succeed, but the probability is too low, lower than winning the lottery." ”

"What's the difficulty?"

"Every qualified food crop has to go through thousands of years of domestication, and it needs to be continuously accumulated, and it is not possible to succeed in a short period of time. In particular, seaweed, which has a relatively low starting point, has a lower probability. ”

Xu Dong interjected: "Isn't there genetic engineering now?" ”

"Genetic engineering is not a panacea, it depends on luck, and it also requires the accumulation of enough data, and the safety of genetically modified food is also a difficult problem that cannot be ignored."

Professor Huang explained.

"Professor Huang, I know it's difficult." Dad Xu reassured, "But I didn't think about it overnight, let's go in stages, solve the profit and loss problem first, and analyze the indicators of 'Yuzao No. 3', it shouldn't be difficult, right?" ”

"Difficult!" Professor Huang didn't give any face.

"Is 10 billion enough?" Xu Donghao said angrily.

Professor Huang pondered: "If the existing scientific research capacity is increased tenfold, 10 billion yuan should be feasible, even if it is not enough, it is estimated that it is not much worse." ”

"How to improve?" Dad Xu hurriedly asked.

"Expanding the laboratory, expanding the scientific research team, building a larger production base, everything has to be redesigned, and most importantly, the intermediate capital chain must not be broken."

"Haha, Professor Huang, the two of us thought of going together, the reason why we want to move the company to the capital is because of convenience, and secondly, we want to take advantage of the scientific research environment in the capital.

In addition, regarding the capital chain, you can absolutely rest assured that I will set up a special account, and the funds will be used exclusively for the exclusive use of funds, and no one can embezzle them, including me. ”

Professor Huang didn't respond immediately, he reached out and took out a document from his briefcase and handed it directly to Xu's father.

"Professor Huang, what is this?" Dad Xu said curiously.

"I've made a list of everyone who needs the lab, and if we can bring in these people to come and take up their posts, I believe the success rate will be greatly improved."

As for how much it will be improved, Professor Huang did not say.

Xu Dong took the list from his father.

He probably counted, there were almost 30 people, including some famous scholars, experts and professors, and even an academician.

"Professor Huang, everyone else is easy to do, this Academician Zeng is afraid ......"

Professor Huang said with a smile: "It's not good to be full-time, it's okay to be a consultant, just give us some guidance at critical moments, and the main work depends on ourselves." ”

"Advisor? Okay, we'll do it. ”

Xu Dong immediately reassured.

At present, the supply of materials is still tight, and he is confident that he can use high salaries and benefits to poach this group of people into his own company.

Professor Huang nodded in satisfaction, and then spoke of a second concern.

"Chairman Xu, the situation has improved a lot in the past two years, especially the food supply, which has been greatly improved.

I hope that no matter how the situation changes, our research project will not be abandoned halfway. ”

Without waiting for Dad Xu to speak, Xu Dong hurriedly replied:

"Professor Huang, no matter what time it is, the food problem is more important than Mount Tai, as long as the project can be successful, I believe there will always be a place for us.

You don't have to worry about us changing our hexagram halfway, since we dare to invest tens of billions, then we don't think about quitting, our family has more than 10 billion, less than 10 billion, you don't need to worry too much. ”

"Okay, sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog."

Professor Huang complimented.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to raise a doubt:

"Professor Huang, there were rumors on the Internet before, it is said that our country can already synthesize starch, which is the stalk that drinks the northwest wind.

I would like to ask, which is better or worse than ours in this technology? ”

"Haha, this is not a rumor, it is a real thing, as for which is better or worse?"

Professor Huang paused and made a figurative analogy:

"Let's put it this way, synthetic starch is equivalent to eating a fat man in one bite, and our seaweed technology is equivalent to eating a fat man in one bite, which one do you say is better or worse?"

Xu Dong shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

"Although it is efficient to eat a fat man in one bite, it is too difficult, with the current technology, I dare to pack a ticket, without decades of water grinding work, the cost cannot be reduced at all.

Our 'Tamamo series', although the conversion efficiency is not high, but the victory is gradual, from a short period of time, the success rate is far better than the other party.

Of course, once the technology of synthetic starch matures, we will be sentenced to death directly, and we will not even have the power to fight back. ”

Professor Wong put it very bluntly.

Xu Dong finally understood the gap.

Dad Xu smiled and waved his hand: "Why do you want to go so far, if the technology of synthetic starch is really so good, I would rather fail by myself, it is better to cry in one family than in a hundred." ”

Xu's father has not been a state-owned enterprise worker for decades, but this dedication is still there, and he values the collective more than anything else.

In contrast, Xu Dong is more like a qualified capitalist.

"Xu Dong, good minded."

Professor Huang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Dad Xu waved his hand: "Professor Huang, do you have any other questions?" ”

"And the last one, let's be a villain first and then a gentleman, regarding my personal shares, I don't know how Xu Dong arranged it?"

Everyone is an adult, and there is no shame in talking about money.

"This is easy to do, I have two plans here, Professor Huang, you can choose one."

"I want to hear about it."

"The first plan is an option reward, the company will automatically allot shares by one percent, turn losses into profits and increase by one percent, and the project will directly obtain five percent of the equity if it succeeds, and the above shares will not be diluted permanently.

The second plan is to allot shares and bonuses, the basic allotment is one percent, and then set up a series of reward standards, each time a difficulty is overcome, there will be a corresponding reward, and the bonus is not capped. ”

Professor Huang thought about it.

In the end, he chose the first plan, with his identity, in fact, he had already achieved financial freedom, more money and less money had little impact, and his only thought was to leave a "permanent" guarantee for his family.

This also reflects from the side that Professor Huang is really not optimistic about the prospect of synthetic starch, which may be the same as controllable nuclear fusion, and it will take 50 years forever.
