Tang Xiu shook hands with Mo Yi politely and said with a smile: "Professor Mo, I have long admired your name. I consulted Uncle Yuan before, and he was always full of praise for you."
Mo Yi glanced at Yuan Zhengxuan and then smiled: "If he dares to say bad things about me, I will have to break his legs. However, the products he wants to develop have now been developed and have achieved good results. . Now that we are no longer needed, they just want to push us out. We all are not happy at all!"
Tang Xiu noticed a trace of embarrassment on Yuan Zhengxuan's face and said quickly: "Professor Mo, you are wrong. Uncle Yuan and I are as close as one family. How can he be considered as an extrapolation when he introduced you to me? In fact, I know that everyone's concerns are nothing more than fear that I will be too harsh, or the product direction of research, and the amount of funds I can invest. Of course, there is also the aspect of everyone's salary and benefits. I am here this time, I just want to talk to you about these things.”
When Yuan Zhengxuan heard Tang Xiu mention the topic, he immediately said: "You guys talk first, I have some important things to do over there. Tang Xiu, let's have lunch together at noon."
"good!"
Tang Xiu nodded. As Yuan Zhengxuan left, he looked at Mo Yi again and said, "Professor Mo, you just guessed some of everyone's concerns, right?"
Mo Yi said: "Yes, what you said is exactly our concern. If you can dispel our concerns, maybe we can work for you."
Tang Xiu stretched out his hand to pull a chair over, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said: "First, let me talk about the research direction. I think you all know the earth's space gravity. What I want to study is similar to a buoyant aircraft. For the time being, I named it a flying disc. This kind of flying disc can be developed to allow people to stand on it and fly, and it can be popularized in today's society in the future."
Frisbee
Mo Yi and dozens of scientific researchers all showed strange expressions. They looked at Tang Xiu as if they were looking at aliens. Because they had seen the kind of thing Tang Xiu described before, but only in foreign science fiction movies.
"Mr. Tang, are you kidding?"
Mo Yi exchanged glances with the heads of several scientific research institutes around him, and then said with a serious face.
Tang Xiu shook his head and said: "I'm not kidding, what I said is what I think in my heart. Scientific research products need to be full of fantasy. For example, a few decades ago, who would have thought that there would be products like maglev trains in the world? We For example, on December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers in the United States achieved the first powered flight in human history. Before this date that can be recorded in history, who dared to believe that there would be an airplane cup manufactured in the world? ?And become one of the main means of transportation for people today?"
Mo Yi and dozens of scientific researchers were silent. They finally realized that Tang Xiu didn't seem to be telling a joke. However, this whimsical idea made them smile bitterly.
"Tang Xiu, if you are an investor, we should follow your arrangements. But the flying disc you mentioned is too difficult to study. Our scientific researchers here are mainly experts in thermal weapons, although they are not familiar with gravity. I have done some research, but not particularly in-depth. Just from your description, I can tell that there are power requirements, and at the same time, the most important problem must be avoided, which is transportation. To put it bluntly, we people Incapable of doing the job." Mo Yi said seriously.
Tang Xiu said: "This problem is easy to solve, I will tell you later. Let's talk about the next question, my attitude towards the research institute. I will send people to supervise and understand the progress of the research, but will not interfere in research matters. In terms of salary and benefits , based on your original salary income, an increase of 50%. As for research funding, I can provide it continuously. As long as you dare to ask for it, I dare to give it."
Mo Yi frowned and asked: "Mr. Tang, it is extremely difficult to research a brand-new topic, and the funds required are also very large. Perhaps the experiments of this project will fail dozens or hundreds of times... You have the economic foundation ?Can you take responsibility for what you just said?"
Tang Xiu said confidently: "You all work in Star City, so you should know about Shengtang Group. To be honest, I am the big boss of Shengtang Group. Do you think there are enough funds for you to do research?"
"Shengtang Group?"
Mo Yi showed a shocked look, and several of the dozens of other researchers even cried out in surprise. They have been working in Star City for these years, how could they not know about Shengtang Group? Now among the group companies in the entire Star City, the one with the fastest development and the most enviable profit is the Shengtang Group!
Mo Yi took a deep breath and said seriously: "Then, let's go back to the first question."
Tang Xiu smiled and said: "Professor Mo, I have understood a truth since I was a child: money is not omnipotent, but it is the closest thing to omnipotence. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind. As long as I have money, you need scientific research materials, and I I can buy it for you with money; I can dig out any experts you need with a lot of money. I heard this sentence a few days ago: As long as you have money, you can get even a nuclear warhead."
Mo Yi stood up suddenly, stared at Tang Xiu and asked, "I want to know, what is Mr. Tang's initial investment?"
Tang Xiu asked, "I also want to know how much upfront investment capital you will need after this project starts?"
"this… "
Mo Yi was stunned by the question, and then he and dozens of other scientific researchers whispered to each other. After a long while, he sat back in front of Tang Xiu and said word by word: "If the initial investment is less than nine figures, , we all dare not let go and do it.”
Tang Xiu slapped his hands on his thighs and said in a loud voice: "I will spend ten figures for the initial investment. When it is almost used, you will ask me for it again."
Ten digits
One billion
Mo Yi and dozens of scientific researchers were frightened by Tang Xiu's generosity. Their last project was also the largest research result they had done so far. The research cost before it was completely completed was only two to three billion. The investment amount proposed by Tang Xiu was only an upfront investment! You can continue to add more later.
"Are you...are you sure?"
Mo Yi's voice was trembling.
Tang Xiu said without hesitation: "I, Tang Xiu, have always been a stickler for words. If you don't believe it, I can set up a public account for research funds. This account will be managed by Professor Mo and I. Once this account is established, I will One billion will be transferred immediately."
Mo Yi and other scientific research experts looked at each other. From Tang Xiu's words, they could hear Tang Xiu's firmness and determination. After half a minute of silence, Mo Yi suddenly stood up and said seriously: "I, Mo Yi, have decided to participate in the research on the Frisbee project. Even if I put all my efforts into it, as long as I, Mo Yi, can still move, I will never stop until the project is completed."
"I, Wang Xin, also decided to participate."
Another scientific research professor in a white coat stood up and said.
"I'm involved too."
"And I!"
"I… "
Dozens of scientific research experts stood up and expressed their opinions. Tang Xiu's attitude and abundant financial investment gave them great courage. Since people throwing money are not afraid, what are they, the scientific researchers, afraid of? Furthermore, once the project proposed by Tang Xiu is completed and Frisbee can be popularized by the whole people, then they will all be great contributors. Even if you can't be famous forever, you can still win a lifelong reputation.
Tang Xiu smiled and said: "I am very happy that everyone can join. In the near future, I will purchase a piece of land in Shanghai and establish a large industrial park, which will include the research and development of other Shengtang Group products. At that time, I will plan an independent area. And build a brand new research institute. When the project there is completely completed, you will move there to continue research and development. At that time, it is up to you to decide how to arrange your family. Shengtang Group will provide money and effort to serve you. Okay. In the next year, I'm afraid you will still have to stay here, but I will secretly transfer a group of security forces to be responsible for protecting the security here. At the same time, I will also establish a service team, whether it is in terms of daily life or In terms of the required scientific research materials, we will try our best to meet your needs."
"good!"
Mo Yi and dozens of other scientific researchers have nothing else to say at this moment except to say yes. Tang Xiu thought very carefully and completely. They felt a sense of identity with the new boss.
Subsequently.
Tang Xiu talked with dozens of scientific researchers for a long time, opening up all aspects of the problem, and everyone was very satisfied with the result. Immediately afterwards, Mo Yi and several other experts and professors from the scientific research institute accompanied Tang Xiu to the lower three floors and visited their real laboratory.
In the laboratory, Tang Xiu saw a lot of high-tech instruments. He was familiar with high-tech products before, but he didn't understand much about these high-tech instruments. After Mo Yi's explanation, Tang Xiu discovered that "technology" is indeed a magical thing. The existence of physics and chemistry will produce many novel things through the mutually reinforcing effects of physics and chemistry.
"Is it very dangerous to conduct scientific research?"
After the visit, Tang Xiu asked.
Mo Yi smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be possible to do research, especially research on special high-tech products, such as the thermal weapons we studied before, without danger? We have followed Yuan Zhengxuan for more than ten years, and three of our colleagues have died due to accidents. , and six colleagues were injured and had to leave. For example, five or six months ago, one of our colleagues was electrocuted to death because he came into contact with high-voltage electricity. Alas... we people Ah! How can we avoid dealing with electric current? Who can be hit by electric current and survive?"
