The Leisurely Life of Infinite Gods

Chapter 71 For Science

Four Seasons Court Private Club is located near the Bund of the Huangpu River. Standing by the window of the private room and looking down, you can see a brightly lit night scene.

The rippling blue water of the river under the dim night, and the surging flow of people on the Bund by the river also became a beautiful scenery in my eyes.

In the elegant and spacious private room, exquisite ornamental incense is placed in the corner, and the sound of smoke curls upwards, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

In the corner of the private room, in front of a screen embroidered with peonies, a beautiful woman with her hair tied high behind her head played the piano on the armrest. While her slender fingers were gently waving the strings, the beautiful notes kept echoing in the room.

At the dining table filled with all kinds of delicacies, young women in cheongsam bow their heads and wait for orders at any time.

At this time, the old man surnamed Lu in a Chinese tunic suit ordered some dishes from a large table in front of him, and said in a bad tone:

"Xiao Wu, I know that you rich people, the richer you are, the more you will cry poor. If nothing else, it's just this meal. I'm afraid you can't get it without more than a hundred thousand. The money , enough for me to add two new pieces of equipment to the lab."

Lu Benqiang is sixty-eight years old this year, a teacher of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences, and currently serves as the dean of the School of Life Sciences of Futan University in Shanghai. He is a veritable top boss.

Sun Shangwu is forty-four years old this year, and was a student of this Dean Lu more than 20 years ago.

Naturally, being a teacher for a day is a teacher for life, and this Dean Lu has the kindness to know Sun Shangwu back then, so even now, Sun Shangwu still respects the old man in front of him very much.

Sun Shangwu, who was more considerate than the waiter at the side, would bring vegetables to the old man and soup for the old man. Even if he was reprimanded by the old man, he would just nod and be taught, without any disrespect.

When Chu Mo, who saw all this in his eyes, put down the tableware in his hand, Tao Yun beside him picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tacit understanding.

Looking at the sweet smiling face of the girl beside him, a satisfied Chu Mo whispered in his heart:

"How? Are you used to it?"

Hearing this, the girl who was a little closer to me seemed to be telling some little secret, she gently approached her ear, and at the same time exhaled loudly:

"It's a bit hard to let go, but I will work hard to get used to it."

Chu Mo nodded with a smile, and after the other party sat up straight, he also moved his mouth close to the other's earlobe, looked at the girl's delicate white and tender skin, and at the same time his heart fluttered slightly, he whispered:

"Actually, I don't like it very much. I have to chew and swallow every meal carefully. Next time I will take you to eat alone. It will be just the two of us. You can eat whatever you want."

The girl who didn't know what to think of had flushed cheeks, and her tender eyes were filled with all sorts of amorous feelings.

At this time, Sun Shangwu on the opposite side of the dining table also put down his bowl and chopsticks, and the billionaire said in a rough and unrestrained voice:

"Ms. Lu, tell us, how much research funding do you need?"

The old man named Lu Benqiang looked slightly hesitant. Scientific research on such things is full of various uncertainties.

Even though he is a master of the dean level, he still can't give accurate data, but after hesitating for a while, the old man finally gritted his teeth slightly and said softly:

"This time I am in charge of a research on biodiversity and evolutionary biology, exploring life phenomena and basic laws from the perspective of macro- and micro-biology. The research direction is genetic diversity and biosafety...

The participants in this research include myself, two post-doctoral fellows, one Ph.D. in biology, six masters, and a postgraduate student under my supervision. We have been conducting this research for four years. research.

The support for us from above is indeed not small, but we have been trapped in a bottleneck in the past year, and there has been no major breakthrough.

So even I don't have the cheek to ask for funds, but recently the United States has produced a new device, we have studied it, and if we can introduce this device, it will play a vital role in our research.

However, given the urgency of the United States, the price of this kind of equipment must be sky-high... Conservative estimates, the introduction of equipment will cost at least 100 million yuan, plus follow-up research costs... There is still a gap of at least 200 to 300 million yuan. "

After the old man's indifferent words fell, the dignified Sun Shangwu suddenly clapped his hands. After a while, the sound of the piano in the room disappeared immediately. Then, including the cheongsam woman and several waiters, all irrelevant personnel left the private room.

But at this time, the eyes of several people were focused on Chu Mo in unison.

Three hundred million is just the price of a No. 8 villa.

Chu Mo didn't pay attention to the three billion Bafang International Hotel, so this amount of money was naturally nothing to worry about.

It's just that if you have money, you have money, but you definitely can't spend money and be treated as a fool. Therefore, it is necessary to bargain.

Gently supporting the golden glasses on the bridge of his nose, Chu Mo said casually with a flat expression:

"Money is not a problem, but how can I ensure that my investment can get a corresponding return?

Three hundred million, not three thousand yuan, not too much, not too little. "

Seeing Chu Mo's indifferent expression, the old man with a scholarly scent frowned slightly. The old man was about to refute something, but Sun Shangwu at the side immediately said:

"Brother Chu, the fact that Mr. Lu can sit here is the biggest guarantee. You and I won't pay attention to three or five billion yuan.

I'm also because I'm short on money during this time, otherwise I wouldn't have looked for you, brother. In this way, this matter is guaranteed. If you lose money in the end, brother, or if you don't get the corresponding benefits, I will pay you as much as you pay, brother. "

After the words fell, Sun Shangwu turned to the old man on the side again, and said earnestly at the same time:

"Ms. Lu, you can't blame Mr. Chu for being cautious about this matter. After all, no one's money comes from a strong wind. An investment of several hundred million is not a small sum even for me.

Moreover, in the early stage of this project, the money was invested by the above, and even if the results really come out in the later stage, there will inevitably be some mistakes. I know that you are a high-spirited teacher, but I can’t guarantee that other people will not have any ideas.

Brother Chu is the person I found, and I can't really watch him suffer, right? The so-called gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, I think it is better for us to set various terms in advance.

In this way, Mr. Lu, you can spend your money comfortably, and Brother Chu can invest with confidence. "

After hearing the words, the dissatisfied old man relaxed a little. When he turned his attention to the young man across from him again, the solemn old man nodded and said:

"Mr. Chu, it's the first time we're dealing with each other. You may not know me very well. I'm just a researcher, and I like to talk about things.

The departments of this project did spend a lot of money in the early stage, but there have been no results for several years, and some of them are in a state of half-giving up. It is basically difficult to get money now, but this is after all four or five years of our entire team. If you work hard, no one will be willing to give up.

Mr. Chu, if you are willing to invest money and produce results, I will talk to the above, and I will never treat you badly, Mr. Chu.

If someone really wants to pick peaches, I will fight this old face and I will not let them succeed. I can only talk about this. How to do it depends on your consideration, Mr. Chu. "

A college teacher who enjoys Huaguo's subsidy personally guarantors, and with Sun Shangwu as the second guarantor, Chu Mo basically doesn't have to worry about being picked peaches.

Even if he took a step back and said that this project did not produce results, or something went wrong halfway, but the investment of 300 million yuan, even if it was nothing, Chu Mo didn't take it seriously.

And if you can make friends with a school teacher and gain the favor of the other party, the investment of 300 million yuan cannot be said to be in vain.

Turning his eyes to Tao Yun, who was looking good, he nodded slightly after seeing the longing in the girl's eyes, and Chu Mo, who was holding the red wine in front of him, said sincerely:

"For the sake of science, let's raise our glasses together."
