"Second grandfather, why did you come to my house?"

The little lion immediately shouted.

"The second grandfather misses the lion cub."

Xu Dong put down the gift and picked up the little one.

"Hehe, the little lion also misses the second grandfather."

Pan's mother came over with a plate of peanuts: "Director Xu, eat peanuts, they were just fried yesterday." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Xu Dong reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts, peeled several in a row, and ate a few of them casually, and stuffed the rest into the little lion's mouth.

"You're going to eat here at noon today, right? The meals are almost cooked. ”

"Okay, then excuse me."

Xu Dong looked at his watch, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and it would take at least half an hour to go back, so it was better to deal with it here.

"Don't bother, you wait a while, and the meal will start soon."

Pan's mother moved quickly, and after a while, the meal was put on the table, although it was not as good as her own, but there was fish and meat, and it was still quite hearty.

Xu Dong took the little lion to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then sat on the edge of the dining table.

Not long after he sat down, the boss finally arrived home.

"The busy man is finally willing to come back?"

Xu Dong quipped.

Xu Bin handed Xiaohuzi to his daughter and replied with a smile: "Small business, the store is basically full of repeat customers, it is better not to close the door, or not to close the door." ”

"How's business going in the morning?"

"It's okay, I sold two laptops and a dozen mobile phones, and I earned almost a third of my rent this month."

In the past two or three years, with the improvement of the economic situation, broadband fees and mobile phone fees have been reduced a lot, and the turnover of digital stores has risen with the tide.

Xu Dong nodded: "It's not bad, no wonder you are reluctant to close the door." ”

"It's better during the Chinese New Year, but it's far from usual." Xu Bin waved his hand.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and start eating."

Tan Aifang walked over and urged.

After lunch began, everyone ate and chatted.

The topic mainly focused on Tan Bangxiang's wedding and Pan Jun's return date.

"Where is Pan Jun on a mission now?"

Xu Dong said curiously.

"On the west coast of the Philippines."

Xu Jingyi replied.

"How did you run that far?"

"Uncle, the Suis Canal has been cut off, and now the trade routes have to detour through the Cape of Good Hope.

Xu Dong patted his head, how could he forget this.

In recent years, sea levels have fallen dramatically, resulting in a series of consequences.

The closure of the canal is just the beginning.

According to experts' predictions, if this trend continues, it will not take 20 years for Nisang to become one with the Southern Dynasties, and even worse, the entire Southern Xia Sea will become a semi-enclosed inland sea.

When the time comes, you can even take a train from Yanjing to Kangaroo Country, which is unimaginable.

Tan Aifang worried: "There won't be danger, right?" ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, no matter how powerful the pirates are, they are pediatric compared to warships, and nothing can happen." Pan's mother hurriedly comforted.

"It's okay!"

Tan Aifang patted her chest.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Dong went out with his father again.

The father and son are going to visit Academician Zeng, an authoritative expert in seaweed research and a big man whom Professor Huang highly admires.

A few days ago, Xu's father asked Mayor He to help him pull the line, but the other party was very busy, and he only had time off on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

arrived at the community where Academician Zeng lived.

Dad Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect Academician Zeng to live in a public rental house, it seems that it is not easy to convince the other party!" ”

"It's just a consultant, so it shouldn't be difficult."

Xu Dong looked confident.

"It's not as simple as you think, I've asked someone before, this academician Zeng is a bit old-fashioned, and he rarely communicates. If it weren't for Mayor He's personal help this time, we wouldn't even have a chance to meet. ”

"Dad, if you come, you will be safe!" Xu Dong lifted the gift on his hand, "Okay?" Let's go in and see each other. ”

Chatting and chatting, the destination arrived.

Dad Xu looked at the note in his hand: "508, that's right, this is it." ”

"Dad, knock on the door!"

Xu Dong urged.

He carried a large bag in each hand, which weighed at least thirty or forty pounds.

In order to show their sincerity, the father and son put a lot of effort into it.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Dad Xu knocked on the door unhurriedly.

The one who opened the door was an elderly aunt, who seemed to be Academician Zeng's wife.

"May I ask if this is Academician Zeng's home?"

"Yes, you are?"

"Hello, my name is Xu Changming, next to me is my son Xu Dong, we have something to talk to Academician Zeng."

"What unit are you from?" Gu Greed

Dad Xu was about to answer, but Xu Dong couldn't stand his father's rubbing, so he interjected directly: "Auntie, we are from Xinke Seaweed, and we have already made an appointment with Academician Zeng." ”

"Really? Then come in! ”

Hearing that it was made in advance, Mrs. Zeng immediately welcomed the two in.

As soon as Xu Dong entered the house, he couldn't wait to throw two large bags of gifts on the table, which were so heavy that his palms were strangled red.

Academician Zeng's home is very small, only about 50 or 60 square meters, and the old couple should live alone, and there is no one else in the house.

"Old man, there's a guest at home."

Mrs. Zeng shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, Academician Zeng walked out of the study with impatience on his face, Sure enough, as Dad Xu said, it didn't seem to be very easy to deal with.

"Who are you?"

"Academician Zeng, hello, take the liberty of interrupting!" Dad Xu hurriedly introduced himself: "I am Xu Changming, the person in charge of Xinke Seaweed, and we have made an appointment to meet this afternoon." ”

Academician Zeng reacted immediately.

"I remember, you were introduced by Mayor He, right?"

"That's right." Dad Xu nodded.

"Come in with me, let's talk inside."

The father and son walked into the bedroom, and Academician Zeng closed the door casually.

Xu Dong looked at the bedroom.

It shouldn't be said to be a bedroom, but it is more appropriate to describe it as a study, with three rows of bookshelves in a small room, and the bookshelves are densely packed with professional books and various periodicals and magazines.

There was a desk by the window, and the other party was still working just now, and he didn't even turn off his laptop.

Dad Xu took out his business card, and didn't want Academician Zeng to wave his hand directly: "Don't be fake, just say anything directly!" ”

Dad Xu put the business card on the table next to him with a little embarrassment, and then took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over.

"Academician Zeng, this is our company's project information, please give me some advice."

The materials were carefully prepared by Professor Wong.

Academician Zeng did not refuse, and took it and studied it carefully.

During this period, Mrs. Zeng brought in two cups of tea.

After more than half an hour, Academician Zeng finally raised his head: "Your R&D project is good, has great development potential, if it can really be successful, the influence is no less than that of hybrid rice." ”

"It's over!" Dad Xu said modestly.

"I'm not lying at all, believe it or not."

"Uh, Academician Zeng, with your words, I am relieved."

Academician Zeng put down the information in his hand and asked solemnly: "The document has been read, let's say, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Academician Zeng." Xu Dong hurriedly replied, "We want to invite you to join our company and complete this project together." ”

Although he knew that the probability was not large, he still wanted to try, and he was ready to say yes.

Professor Huang himself said that if Academician Zeng was willing to join the R&D team, he would be willing to abdicate and give way to the other party as his deputy.

Academician Zeng did not hesitate at all, and shook his head directly: "I disappointed you, I have my own job, and I will not take the initiative to resign, so you should ask another master!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, it's better to listen to our conditions first, our company is willing to provide five percent of the equity award, plus ...... every year"

"Don't waste your saliva, I won't say yes."

"Academician Zeng, if you have a new project in hand, we are also willing to provide R&D funds, or even directly establish the project."

Xu Dong didn't want to give up easily.

A good scientific research leader is so important.

Academician Zeng still shook his head: "I am not short of funds at present, you don't need to persuade me anymore." ”

"Academician Zeng, we sincerely invite you."

Dad Xu hurriedly agreed.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't leave." Academician Zeng remained unmoved.

Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh.

"Since the full-time job is not good, how about the part-time job?"

"I can't work part-time, I can't spare that much time, and our unit has a rule that it is not allowed to engage in part-time work outside."

"What about the advisors? This is always okay, right? ”

"Advisor? Consultants can't do it, I really don't have time, there are a lot of people who study seaweed in China, you might as well find someone else! ”

Academician Zeng thought about it but refused.

The reason is simple, the research and development of this project is very difficult, unlike a private company that can be done, and he does not want to waste energy.

Xu Dong was anxious for a moment: "Academician Zeng, our company's project has a total investment of up to 30 billion yuan, we really want to make some achievements, please help!" ”

"Three tens of billion? You didn't lie to me? ”

Academician Zeng suddenly became serious.

30 billion is definitely not a small number, if it is placed in the related fields of seaweed research, it is almost equivalent to the total budget of the state for five or six years.

And most of this budget is spent on breeding projects such as "kelp" and "seaweed", and not even a tenth of the other aspects.

"Yuzao series" is different from the general kelp farming, this is a disruptive technology, 30 billion research and development funds, maybe it can really do a little famous.

"Academician Zeng, what my third brother said is true, if you don't believe it, you can call Mayor He, the city has also invested 10% of the shares, this can't be faked."

Dad Xu helped persuade.

"Okay, I'll find someone to investigate, and if what you say is true, I'll take this 'consultant', and I don't have to pay a penny."

Academician Zeng nodded earnestly.

"How can this work?"

"I have my own salary, it's enough. If you have the heart, you should try to raise as much money as possible, although this project has great potential, tens of billions are far from enough. ”
