After the financial account was settled, everyone in the auditorium fell silent.

If the rainfall funds come from the Meteorological Bureau, then the local meteorological bureaus probably cannot afford it. But if it is useful, it will be a sure win for the local governments.

As long as we can show good rainfall results and actually reduce local natural disasters, it will not be a problem to get more funding from the government.

The director of the Qilu Local Meteorological Bureau took the initiative to invite him and asked with a smile: "Professor Fan, I checked the information when I came here."

"Your Shennong rocket is still in the trial stage, and you haven't built a factory to start production yet."

"If you want to build a factory, on behalf of the Qilu government, I invite you. We have done research and can provide various support."

"As long as you come, interest-free loans are not a problem, and we can also grant you a piece of land for free. If you have any other requirements, feel free to ask."

After he sent out the invitation, the directors of meteorological bureaus in various places could no longer hold back.

Wu Sidao even cursed in his heart: Okay, okay, you want to eat alone, were you here first?
"Qilu is a war-preparation province in China, and the relationship between people and land is already tense. There has always been a shortage of agricultural and industrial land."

"Professor Fan, please consider our Yuzhou. Our Yuzhou is different from Qilu. Although we are a major agricultural province, we are quite supportive of industry!"

"We can carry forward our style and ease the pressure on population and land in our brother provinces. Even if we have to demolish the official building, we will guarantee your construction land!" The director of the Yuzhou Meteorological Bureau was not to be outdone and stood up with a microphone and said.

The positions of directors of meteorological bureaus in various places are not of high value, but at this time, they have invested a lot of money and promised various preferential policies, especially to the coastal provinces that are not short of money.

When Fan Jian saw this scene, he was secretly delighted. On the other hand, this also proved the value of his research.

He took the microphone, calmed everyone down, and explained: "Dear leaders, where we build our meteorological weapons factory is not decided by me, but by our boss."

"He is an investor and has absolute controlling rights. If you really want to attract investment, you can talk to our boss Li Yunfei."

After hearing this, dozens of leaders present fell silent instantly.

Director Li has the connections and the funds. He is free to build a factory wherever he wants and does not care about the preferential policies at all.

"Professor Su, I have a question. Could you please explain it to me?"

"I am also researching your new artificial rainmaking catalyst. I suspect you are falsifying or concealing key technologies."

"Otherwise, why have my experiments with the same new artificial rain-making catalyst always failed? Is there any difference between our two new artificial rain-making catalysts?" Su Wei stood up, holding the microphone, and asked loudly to the audience.

When those present heard this, they all fell silent.

We are all in the meteorological system, and we have probably heard a little bit about you squeezing out others and stealing their research results.

But isn't it a bit too much for you to jump out and self-destruct at this time with an angry look on your face?

If you can't poop, blame the earth for having no gravity. Others have left half of the scientific research results to you, but you can't figure it out yourself. Who do you blame?

Fan Jian was also amused by his words.

It's fine if you can't figure it out yourself, but how can you put the blame on me? Wu Sidao had a dark face the whole time. He came to Tianfu this time because he was afraid that Fan Jian would bring up the old matter again and he wanted to seek justice for his past self.

Fortunately, the other party considered the overall situation and did not bring it up, but how dare you say anything?
"Deputy Director Su, we are here today to listen to Professor Fan's report, not to discuss technology."

"Now please go back to your seat. If you have any questions, we can discuss them later!"

If it weren't for Su Wei's background, Wu Sidao would have wanted to have him kicked out right now.

Fan Jian pushed his glasses and asked with interest, "Deputy Director Su, the research funds for meteorological weapons were never approved by the bureau."

"How come it was approved after you took over? I'm curious, how many times have you failed with this same technology?"

If Su Wei was really capable, Fan Jian would not have been so sad and angry as to resign and leave.

The problem is that this guy relied on his family connections to go to a fake university abroad and got a master's degree in meteorology.

He wanted to work in the American Weather Bureau, but was rejected outright. He then used his family connections and, in the name of recruiting overseas talent, got himself into the domestic weather bureau.

During the years when Fan Jian was still in the unit, Su Wei received a lot of research funding, but he did not produce any research results. However, his position was promoted rapidly.

"I have also developed the new artificial rainmaking catalyst you left behind."

"I have conducted six tests this year, and all of them failed. I don't accept it. Did you do something to change some technical parameters when you left?" Su Wei continued to question, stiffening his neck.

Fan Jian ignored him and looked at his old director, saying with emotion: "Tsk tsk tsk, you have already failed six times."

"Should I say you keep fighting despite repeated failures, or keep fighting despite repeated failures? Old Director, you are really biased. When I applied for research funding, you refused to approve it even though it was several thousand yuan!"

"Professor Su, times have changed. The bureau's funding was indeed difficult back then. I hope you can understand." The old director of the Meteorological Bureau blushed and explained uncomfortably.

After listening to his explanation, Fan Jian smiled and did not answer nor understand.

Anyway, things have passed, and it has now been proven who is right and who is wrong. In the future, the history books on meteorological weapons will give both sides justice.

"When I left the company, I left behind a semi-finished new artificial rain-making catalyst. In fact, the design plan was 90% complete."

"Su Wei, I don't even need to look at it. Your new artificial rainmaking catalyst should be fine."

"However, have you ever thought about this question? I was the one who researched the new artificial rainmaking catalyst. Why did it take so many years for you to produce the first practical results after I left the unit?" Fan Jian asked in return.

After he left the unit, he received angel investment from Li Yunfei. Although the R&D funds were not abundant, they were definitely sufficient.

Compared to the official units that hold large and small meetings from time to time and waste time, Li Yunfei, as an investor, is just like a coal boss.

Just let it go completely, as long as the research results do not harm the country, society, or violate the law.
