"I'm looking for Mr. Wang!"

"Non-staff can't enter!"

"I'm here to ask for money, why can't I come in?"

"Okay, I'm not going in, I'm just waiting here, I don't believe Mr. Wang won't come out today!"

As soon as Qin Ran came to the factory, he saw the scene of the material manufacturer coming to the door to recover the material payment, he didn't ask, and directly found Wang Xuezheng's office.

Wang Xuezheng knew that Qin Ran was coming, and was sitting in the office waiting.

"Did you see what happened at the door?"

Qin Ran nodded, "I saw it!" ”

"Hey!" Wang Xuezheng sighed and said, "This is the third batch of people who have come to ask for debts today!" I'm stuck in the factory now, and I can't get out. ”

"Is it that serious?" Qin Ran frowned, "After all, we are a national project, and they are still worried that the materials will not be given to them?" ”

"It's true that the giant mecha is a national project, but it's only a temporary project, and when the mecha is successfully built, the project will be over, who can they trust at this juncture?" As he spoke, Wang Xuezheng handed Qin Ran a document,

"Check it out!"

"Notice of Deferred Appropriation!?"

"Yes!" Wang Xuezheng took a deep breath, "Global panic is inevitable, and now our country is also fluctuating, in this case, the country must be prepared to deal with the next great social changes, so the allocation of funds has to be postponed." ”

"I won't hide it from you, yesterday, more than 30 people handed in their resignation letters.....

Qin Ran's brows furrowed even deeper, "Is it so serious?" ”

"I can still appease the resignation personnel, but the funding problem has to be solved in time, and after a long time, under the panic of the people, this project may be over."

"How big is the funding gap?"

"Billion!" Wang Xuezheng swore and replied: "As long as there are one billion, you can get through the current difficulties." The country can't really leave us alone, after all, 6 billion has been invested in the early stage, as long as the society is slightly stable and there are no worries, the appropriation will definitely come down, and it will be difficult, and it will be difficult for this period of time. ”

A billion is not a small number. Qin Ran didn't expect that the second monster invasion would have such a big impact on the giant mecha project only three days later.

Now most of the parts of [Horizon Warrior] have been assembled, only the power system and weapon system remain, even if the weapon system wants to be reduced, it is too late now, because if it is cut now, the design drawings will have to be modified, and the workload will greatly increase, and the gains outweigh the losses, even if they can be reduced, it will not solve the urgent need.

Originally, according to Qin Ran's expectations, the [Horizon Warriors] completed the main assembly a month later, even if the monster invaded for the second time, it would not be enough to affect the finishing work, it was nothing more than the tail payment in the later stage, but he didn't expect that the monster invasion time was advanced by a month, which completely broke the original plan.

Why the monster invasion was advanced, Qin Ran didn't know, but he didn't have time to analyze it now, the most important thing at the moment was to solve the problem of funds.

As long as the funds are in place, the mecha is successfully built, the monster is killed, and people can see the practicality of the mecha, so that the attention of the country can be aroused, and the final payment is no longer a problem. It's not like it is now, and if you say that the grant is deferred, it will be deferred.

In order to solve the problem of funds, Qin Ran was ruthless and said, "It's really not good, I sold the [War Vanguard]!" ”

Wang Xuezheng shook his head, "Things haven't reached that level yet, to be honest, I have contacted several powerful investment companies in the past few days, and they have all refused, but it is not without gains, there is a person who is optimistic about our project and wants to invest, but the premise is to talk to you personally." ”

"Me?" Qin Ran was surprised: "I'm a technology practitioner and talk about investment? ”

"Yes, that's you!" Wang Xuezheng changed the tense atmosphere before, "Speaking of which, this person still has something to do with you, she is the granddaughter of your teacher, Professor Li Liping, Li Xueting, is also a top student of economics at Shuimu University, your younger sister..... Well, this generation sounds a bit messy, but that's not the point, yesterday I talked to Lao Li on the phone, mentioning the difficulties of the project, Lao Li helped to set up the line, asked his granddaughter Li Xueting, the other party called me this morning, saying that investment is okay, but I want you to talk about it in person. ”

Qin Ran hesitated a little, "How sure are you?" ”

"Listening to Lao Li's tone, at least fifty percent sure, as for whether it will be successful in the end, it depends on how you talk about it?" Speaking of this, Wang Xuezheng sighed again, "Qin Gong, you haven't seen your teacher for a long time, I know that there is a knot between you, but it is not an unsolvable knot, the matter has passed, Lao Li I know better than you, he is a good person, but he just cares about his reputation, in fact, when the giant mecha project passed, he already regretted it, but he was thin-skinned and difficult to say." ”

To tell the truth, because of the academic symposium, Qin Ran did have a pimple in his heart. At the end of the symposium, Jiang Weiguo asked him if he would go to Li Liping, Qin Ran refused, he really didn't know what attitude to face this former teacher at that time.

After so much time, Qin Ran also wanted to open it, but there was still some resistance in his heart, but now in order to solve the problem of funds, the resistance in his heart had to be put down.

"Okay, I'll go to the capital in the afternoon!"

Hearing this answer, Wang Xuezheng immediately smiled, "Then it's decided, I'll wait for your good news!" ”

......

"Xiao Qin, sit down, sit down!" Li Liping greeted Qin Ran very warmly, eating melon seeds and peanuts with snacks, and making tea, I don't know if it was out of shame or other purposes, anyway, Qin Ran was a little blindsided, and he could only find some innocuous topics.

"Professor Li, I heard that you are retired?"

"Withdrew, quit two months ago! Now I stay at home all day and have nothing to do, just read books and play chess with a few old guys..... Xiao Qin, the giant mecha project is almost finished! ”

Qin Ran nodded, "It's about to be completed, but now that the funds are short, I heard that your granddaughter can help solve it, so I'm not going to come over..."

Li Liping half-jokingly, "Then if it wasn't for the financial problem, wouldn't you plan to come and see me....." Saying that, Li Liping's smile gradually faded, and his face showed a little shame: "Xiao Qin, in that matter, it was the teacher who couldn't stand you." ”

Qin Ran shook his head duplicitously, "It's okay, I didn't blame you!" ”

"You!" Li Liping scolded with a smile, took a sip of tea, looked at the time, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you say seven o'clock, why haven't you arrived?" Wait, I'm going to make a call! ”

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

After opening the door, a tall, plainly dressed beauty with long hair and a shawl walked in.

"Grandpa, I'm here, I'm not late!"

"Not late, not late!" Li Liping greeted him with a smile, "Let me introduce you!" ”

"This is Qin Ran, my student!"

"This is my granddaughter, Li Xueting!"

"Hello!" After Qin Ran and Li Xueting greeted each other, he couldn't help but glance at each other.

Li Xueting's appearance is not extremely beautiful, but it feels very natural, but in nature, there is a coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away, like a strong woman in the workplace, but with a beautiful and fair face, Qin Ran has to wonder, can the other party really solve the problem of project funding?

"I've heard grandpa nag for a long time that you're his protégé, and I finally met you today!" Li Xueting said politely with a professional smile.

"Oh? I also heard Professor Li often boast that he has a smart and sensible granddaughter! ”

Li Liping looked a little embarrassed next to him, in fact, he hadn't mentioned each other in front of the two of them before.
