Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 139 Heartbeat
"There is indeed no conflict, but are you planning to place this research and development in Kuncheng or the secondary capital?" Professor Li asked.

"No, we think that the conditions in both Kuncheng and the secondary capital are not very good. We encounter too much local interference. In order to ensure that our research and development is not interfered with by local authorities, we need a local authority that fully supports us. The place that can negotiate with us now is the border area." Ren Zhong said.

This matter will have to be discussed sooner or later, and now is a good time to see Professor Li's attitude.

Sure enough, Professor Li was silent for a long time.

"Border area? Can the border area provide resources? Can it secure talent? Can it handle so much logistical support?" Professor Li asked a series of questions almost mumbling to himself. Even he himself knew that these were unlikely.

Hope was dashed again.

He has had many ups and downs today.

If I could start over again.

Professor Li would rather not have come here today, not seen these materials, and not heard those exciting words from Ren Zhong.

But
"Professor Li, regarding the security, our organization has reached a package agreement with the border region government. In the future, our annual investment will reach one million oceans to carry out scientific research and development in the border region. Large-scale hydro-turbine generator sets and power transmission and distribution equipment are one of the important projects. In the industrial park planned for our research and development, we have complete autonomy in management and are not subject to any local interference. The border region provides us with sufficient food, clothing, housing and transportation security." Ren Zhong said.

"Our condition is that after these projects are developed, priority will be given to producing and installing these equipment in border areas and base areas."

"In a word, we have obtained special investment rights in the border areas. We cannot get such conditions in Kuncheng or the secondary capital. I think Professor Li is very clear about the morality of the bureaucrats here. If we really do it here, we will have to deal with endless assignments and inspections every day."

Professor Li's originally cold heart seemed to become lively again with Ren Zhong's explanation.

Ren Zhong is right. The independent research and development powers mentioned above cannot be achieved under the current conditions in the rear.

Not to mention research and development institutions, even for a university like the United Nations University, Professor Li feels a little embarrassed to look back.

These bureaucrats in the rear are rotten to the core.

However, the border area is on the front line, how do we solve the security issue?

Now the rear areas are bombed by the Japanese from time to time, and there is no guarantee of safety.

"As for the security issue, Professor Li, I think it is indeed a problem. Unless we go far to the Western Regions, we cannot escape the bombing of the Japanese in the secondary capital or Kuncheng. But we will try our best to solve part of it, for example, by keeping it confidential, such as by building factories and laboratories in caves. In this way, the Japanese will not target our research park."

"We have invested sufficient resources to guarantee the food, clothing, housing and transportation of every scientific and technological R&D engineer, and to ensure that the quality of life in the border areas is no worse than that in the rear areas. Regarding this, we have organized sufficient communication with the border areas to confirm that our R&D supply is a separate line. We have funds to purchase sufficient daily necessities."

"Our organization is a national rejuvenation group from overseas. Through the efforts of a large number of overseas Chinese, we have obtained top-secret technical information and a large amount of financial support for our domestic digestion and absorption and independent production."

After listening to Ren Zhong's words, Li Jixiang fell into deep thought.

What Ren Zhong said was a bit idealistic, but if we invest in this area, overseas countries are really capable of obtaining top-secret technical information. The things that Li Jixiang got in his hands are definitely not something that any domestic professor can produce, so Ren Zhong has already proved himself in this regard.

As for financial resources, it doesn't seem to be a fantasy. Overseas Chinese have donated hundreds of millions of dollars, which is more than the government's fiscal revenue! This is the data that Li Jixiang knows. Although it is difficult for an organization to raise millions of dollars, it is not completely impossible.

There is another key point. Ren Zhong's image is too much like that of an overseas Chinese. His relationship with Xing Fujin may not be as simple as it seems. From the information and photos, it can be seen that Ren Zhong and his team are indeed doing things. Although it is not known where the steel and machine tool factories are built, Li Jixiang can guess that these factories are already in some bases in the north, because the machine tools in the photos are obviously in some caves.

Ren Zhong did not disturb Li Jixiang's thoughts.

This is a difficult choice for anyone, choosing a path that now seems to be very difficult, not only for work, but also for the entire family.

This is a major choice that gambles the future of the family.

No matter what Li Jixiang chooses, Ren Zhong will not find it strange.

We cannot make the same demands on Professor Li Jixiang as we do on Professor Fang Guangqi.

Of course, Ren Zhong did not consider Professor Li Jixiang as the only choice.

In other words, Ren Zhong never regarded it as a task that required persuasion from any professor at Southwest Associated University.

Instead, do your best and make a two-way choice.

Even the Dawn Project is top secret information to these candidates and they cannot know about it yet.

"Mr. Ren, please give me a few days. I will contact Xing Fujin, and then we will meet again to confirm." Li Jixiang thought for a while before speaking to Ren Zhong with some difficulty.

"Of course, of course, Professor Li, this matter is of great importance and we really need to discuss it with your family. You can choose to relocate your whole family. We will set up a large number of transfer stations along the way to assist you, and we will bear all the related expenses." Ren Zhong said, "We will set up dozens of stations from Kuncheng, Qiancheng to the secondary capital, Rongcheng, Hanzhong, Chang'an to the border areas."

Ren Zhong's addition obviously added to the pressure on Professor Li Jixiang.

He smiled bitterly and poured himself a glass of wine. "Mr. Ren, we have had enough wine and food today, why don't we say goodbye now? Thank you Mr. Ren for your hospitality and trust. Cheers!"

"It's fate that we meet, Professor Li. I look forward to working together to create national glory in hydropower generation. Cheers!" Ren Zhong also filled a glass of wine and raised it up, saying to Professor Li Jixiang.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Professor Li Jixiang bowed and said goodbye with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Hu Zi, add two dishes to the bill. We have a dinner party tomorrow. Remember that the next gentleman is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Tomorrow we will find a place that serves authentic Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine to treat us. This time, if you follow me, you can taste all kinds of flavors in the world." Ren Zhong called Hu Zi in and said to him with a smile.

After the discussion, there was naturally no need for Hu Zi to stand guard outside. Ren Zhong would always wait for the customers to leave and then serve another portion of the same dish for Hu Zi to try. He didn't need the money anyway.

"Boss Ren, can Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine taste better than our stewed mutton?" Hu Zi came from the border area, so naturally he likes mutton.

"Hahaha, Huzi, your question really stumps me. I'll leave it for you to compare after you try it yourself." Ren Zhong laughed but refused to answer.

Just like the work of a lobbyist, only those who do it know it.
