After sending Professor Chen off, Zhang Xingyang returned to the Aerospace Research Institute.

The research institute on the weekend was quiet, and only the wind could be heard whirring in the air from time to time.

Walking near the dean's office, Zhang Xingyang heard the sound of chattering.

In front of the dean's office, which originally belonged to his father, it was crowded with research institute staff wearing dark blue uniforms.

Seeing Zhang Xingyang coming over, the crowd fell silent for a moment.

Zhang Xingyang looked at the crowd with a confused expression, and asked in wonder:

"Is there something going on here?"

A middle-aged bald researcher in the crowd glanced at Zhang Xingyang with a little meaning, and said:

"I don't know if Xiao Zhang has heard that there is such a big accident this time, our research institute may be disbanded?"

Zhang Xingyang was also shocked when he heard the news, and said:

"Uncle Luo, where did you know about the gossip?"

"The research institute has gone crazy for the past two days, and you don't even know it?" Geng Bo, who had a thin and concave face and thick glasses, said anxiously.

Geng Bo, a good brother who graduated from Aerospace University with Zhang Xingyang.

"It is said that the above originally planned to carry out enterprise reform of the research institute, and in this accident, although the insurance company will compensate for most of the losses caused by the accident, we still need to pay for the other losses, so even if we take out all the money on the books, it will not be enough to compensate."

Liang Yi, who was in charge of the financial work of the research institute, pushed his glasses and said helplessly.

"If we really want to carry out corporate reform, then we will go bankrupt directly, so it is likely that the research institute will be dissolved directly."

After listening carefully, Zhang Xingyang also calmed down and said:

"In other words, the biggest crisis that the institute is facing now is that it has no money, right?"

Liang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, we have a lot of assets, including a lot of patented technologies in materials and power, as well as various hardware equipment, but what we need most now is cash, and the various assets we have are difficult to realize." ”

"How much worse is it? Uncle Liang, have you calculated? Zhang Xingyang said thoughtfully.

Liang Yi flipped through the folder in his hand and said: "The gap is about 25 million, mainly to compensate for the building that was blown up during the launch, and the compensation for the casualties in the accident." ”

More than 20 million in the nineties is an astronomical number for most people in this era. At this time, the money was still very valuable, and the housing prices around the Third Ring Road in the northern capital were only more than 4,000 square meters, and a set of courtyard houses was only 300,000 or 400,000 sets.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xingyang was able to become the acting dean, after the rocket launch accident, this position became a hot potato, and everyone avoided it, only Zhang Xingyang stood up and took responsibility.

Zhang Xingyang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, the cash gap is not very large, and he should be able to make up for it by himself.

"Uncle Liang, I'll figure out a way to get this money, those injured employees won't be forgotten in the hospital."

At this time, a young man in the crowd, who looked to be no more than thirty years old, sneered.

"Xiao Zhang, you are not very old, but your tone is not small, that is more than 20 million yuan, not more than 2,000 yuan!"

Zhang Xingyang glanced at the other party and did not refute anything, but said calmly:

"What I said, I will do it! If you don't believe me, keep your eyes open and wait to see if I can do it. ”

Liu Fang didn't want to say anything more to this young man who didn't know the height of the sky, so he took out a resignation application from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Xingyang, and said in a weird manner:

"I'm sorry, my application to study abroad has been approved, and I'm going to go to the California Institute of Technology next month to study at Eagle Sauce's house, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see it."

Zhang Xingyang took the application, looked at the other party seriously, and asked:

"Will you come back, then?"

Liu Fang laughed twice and did not answer Zhang Xingyang's question positively.

But everyone present understood what the other party meant, and he would not come back.

In fact, many of you can understand that going abroad can have abundant scientific research resources and higher wages, while staying in China is not only not only not a high salary, but also very difficult to do scientific research.

But this is their idea, not Zhang Xingyang's idea.

"I wish you all the best in living and working abroad, and I hope you don't regret it." Zhang Xingyang looked at Liu Fang meaningfully and said.

Most of the people present thought that Zhang Xingyang was studying abroad for Liu Fang and didn't want to come back to ridicule.

I didn't expect another meaning that Zhang Xingyang said, the people of the Dragon Kingdom will never be able to come into contact with the core technology in the scientific research environment of the West, and they would rather use Ah San than the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

In China, although the technology is not yet developed, as long as you work hard enough, you can get in touch with the top core technology.

And there is its own, surpassing the West, it's just a matter of time, and this time will not be too long!

"Is there anyone else who wants to leave, you can say it together." Zhang Xingyang looked at the crowd present.

Several senior researchers in the crowd felt a little embarrassed when they looked at Zhang Xingyang's gaze, but they still stood up.

"I'm sorry, but one of the Eagle Sauce family's research institutes invited me to come over as a researcher."

"I'm sorry, but one of John Bull's universities asked me to be a lecturer."

"I'm sorry."

In the crowd, several people came out one after another to hand over the resignation application to Zhang Xingyang.

"If you want to leave, you can leave now."

The crowd left in twos and threes, leaving only a few interns who had just graduated and joined the institute, as well as some administrative staff.

The main researchers in the research institute have all left the broken ship, which could sink at any time.

"You guys go back to work first, I'll figure out a way as soon as possible for financial problems."

Zhang Xingyang comforted the people who stayed, "Uncle Liang, let's talk." ”

Walked into the office and poured Liang Yi a cup of hot tea.

Zhang Xingyang opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Liang, can you compress the funds a little more?" ”

Liang Yi put down the folder in his hand, sighed and said: "Xiao Zhang, you grew up in the institute, and you are not unclear about the situation in the institute, the country has been asking us to be patient all these years, and the funds in this area have not been abundant. Twenty-five million is already the minimum after accounting. If we do any more, we will only be able to reduce the compensation and medical expenses of the casualties. ”

Hearing Liang Yi's explanation, Zhang Xingyang couldn't help but fall into silence, although there are countless technologies in his brain that transcend this era, but none of these technologies can be directly exchanged for money, and they have no meaning to his current self.

After a while, Zhang Xingyang spoke:

"Uncle Liang, how long can the money on the books last?"

"If the project of new technology development is stopped, only the minimum cost is maintained, and it can probably last for half a year." After Liang Yi did some quick calculations, he reported the results.

"Thank you, Uncle Liang, if you develop new technology, how much money can the hospital come up with?" Zhang Xingyang said.

Liang Yi said in surprise: "Xiao Zhang, is it too late to develop new technologies now?" The institute can come up with a maximum of 3 million funds, which is not enough for research. ”

"Enough, I designed a new liquid oxygen kerosene engine, the cost of which does not exceed two million, and with the same thrust, it can save nearly 10 million costs." Zhang Xingyang said calmly.

"Xiao Zhang, do you know the consequences you will have to bear if you fail again this time?" Liang Yi sighed and said.

Zhang Xingyang said calmly: "I understand that if I fail, no matter what the consequences are, I will bear it alone. ”
