I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 184 Five Thousand Bushels of Rice
The old dean called the student in front of Chen Chen, appealing to his feelings and reason, and even adding a bit of authority at the end.

Thanks to the old dean's preparations, the negotiations on the second day were simple and smooth.

Yan Tao's team agreed to cooperate with Chendun and joined Morningwind as external experts. The same was true for all participants in the team. The project was temporarily named Tathagata Palm.

After the meeting, Chen Chen and Cao Zihua walked out of the university, and the pressure finally eased a little.

"Young boss, is the budget figure you just gave to Teacher Yan too much?" Cao Zihua was a little worried.

"It's really a lot. It's unprecedented pain in the flesh."

"Although our company is on the rise, we can't come up with that much money all at once, right?"

At least he is the director.

Cao Zihua has some understanding of the company's financial situation.

Although Chendun has been gaining popularity recently, its benefits have not yet been realized.

Because the three-stage network has not yet been officially mass-produced, the printing press has not yet started.

To launch a large-scale aircraft project all of a sudden is somewhat like sacrificing one's future.

Chen Chen frowned slightly: "Anyway, I'm a little nervous."

Seeing the rare worry of the young boss, Cao Zihua thought that I, the second-in-command, cannot just take his salary for nothing, so he acted as the military advisor.

"How about...looking for President Wei?"

Chen Chen suddenly raised his head and said, "I'm not saying this, Lao Cao, you haven't crossed the threshold of being a rich woman yet. Once you learn how to be a rich woman, you will definitely be a once-in-a-million-year genius who makes money by making money."

"???"

"This is a military project and has nothing to do with Shunfeng. Do I have the nerve to ask Wei Xiao for money?"

Even Chen Chen, who had a bad stomach, felt that Cao Zihua's suggestion was a bit too extreme.

Yes.

The morning breeze also has its share of tailwind.

But they have paid for the ride and fulfilled all their obligations.

In theory, Morrowind projects should be self-sustaining.

Moreover, this project is for the military, and Shunfeng will not get any benefit at all.

Chen Chen was too embarrassed to ask the doll for money again.

Cao Zihua disagreed: "We are all one family, why are we talking about different things?"

"You guys are taking the rumors seriously and are insisting that I marry into your family, right?"

"Except for President Wei, I can't think of where we can get so much money. Sell kidneys? I don't think the entire company's kidneys combined would be enough."

After listening to this, Chen Chen looked at Cao Zihua and said, "According to your lifestyle, Mr. Cao, your kidneys will probably turn into honeycomb briquettes, and I will have to pay the buyer money."

"I'm shocked. Did you install surveillance cameras on me?"

"No, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if I see it."

When the project makes progress, reward yourself.

Give yourself a reward after two hours of abstaining from smoking.

Go to bed early and reward yourself.

Shen Xin replied and rewarded herself.

Another day alive, reward yourself.

There was a time when Chen Chen was so scared that he didn't dare to assign tasks to Cao Zihua, for fear that he would achieve too much success and receive too many rewards.

As they were talking, Chen Chen's cell phone vibrated in his trouser pocket.

"Ding ding ding, I want to eat something delicious."

"Go ahead and eat more."

"Don't you want to?"

"I'm in Xijing."

"What a coincidence. I'm also in Xijing (snickering)."

Chen Chen suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around and looked around, then slowly typed a question mark on the screen.

"I saw Cao Zihua's circle of friends."

After seeing the reply, Chen Chen opened Cao Zihua’s circle of friends.

Cao Zihua was sharing his joy of returning to his alma mater, but the photo cleverly revealed a corner of the alumni wall and also included Chen Chen's back.

"Delete him, or your phone will get infected and crash."

"Would you like to eat something delicious?"

"eat."

"Seven o'clock in the evening. I have something to do in the afternoon."

Chen Chen wanted to say something else, so he typed a few words, thought for two seconds, and then deleted everything.

Then I opened the ticket booking software and changed the high-speed train ticket at 4 pm to tomorrow.

Five minutes after they left the university campus.

A Bentley drove in slowly, attracting countless people to stop and watch.

Until the car stopped in front of the Aerospace Power College.

The students then realized that it’s not the car that’s the best looking, but the people sitting in it.

Wei Xiao got out of the car, somewhat undecided.

"Sister Shen, are you sure it's reliable?"

Shen Xin patted his chest and said, "Are you still not confident in my ability to do things? I have learned from many sources that Professor Yan is the best expert in this field."

Ever since Wei Xiao decided to set up a laboratory in Xijing.

The entire tailwind is united and the speed is very fast.

Although the young boss's ideas were somewhat unconventional, Shen Xin and the others stood behind him unconditionally.

Can't say why.

I always feel that anything produced by a small boss must be a high-quality product.

Within a few days, Shen Xin sorted out his network of contacts and found a suitable candidate for chief scientific advisor.

"I heard that Professor Yan has a project that is short of funds. I don't know if we can use it, but as long as he is short of money, we have a way in."

Hear this.

Wei Xiao was indeed relieved.

Throw money.

This is a good match for my strengths.

dong dong dong-

"Excuse me, who is Professor Yan?"

Shen Xin took the lead and walked into the laboratory. There were many people here, about seven or eight.

She asked, turning her gaze towards the oldest person in the room.

But on the other end, a young man raised his hand: "I am."

This caught Shen Xin off guard.

"Hello - we were introduced by Director Sun, Shunfeng Express, this is our president."

"Oh, nice to meet you."

Yan Tao stepped forward and shook hands with everyone, exchanged pleasantries, and then waved his hand to let the others go about their business.

Yan Tao always had a smile on his face.

Either he was born to love laughing, or something happy happened.

This made Wei Xiao more confident, and he went straight to the point.

"Professor Yan, our company is planning to set up a space power laboratory."

"I heard from Director Sun that you are very accomplished in this area."

“So I would like to discuss the possibility of cooperation with you.”

Yan Tao was a little sensitive to Wei Xiao's constant calling him "you": "Excuse me, who is Director Sun?"

"Director Sun Changxing."

Yan Tao originally thought that he was the school director and didn't take it seriously.

But when he heard Sun Changxing's name, he became much more serious.

At the same time, the attitude becomes easy-going.

"Director Sun, are you flattering me? What specific areas do you want to cooperate with?"

"We want to build a rocket." Wei Xiao was full of confidence.

"A launch vehicle?"

"Yes."

"What is it used for? Delivering packages?"

"Yes, you may not know us very well. Shunfeng has been working in this area, using technology as a carrier..."

Shen Xin prepared a set of high-sounding words.

But he was interrupted by Yan Tao halfway through his speech.

"Understood! I know Tailwind very well. The Twin-tailed Scorpion and B22 are yours, right?"

Upon hearing this.

Wei Xiao raised her eyebrows, becoming a little more arrogant.

I thought to myself that it was worthy of me and the group’s innovation strategy had really been a success.

Even researchers in ivory towers know about the company's masterpiece.

Hehehe——

"Yeah! They're all ours, and these are just our starting points."

Yan Tao was very interested: "I'd like to hear more about it."

"We thought that no matter what kind of drone we use to carry out the mission, it would not be as fast as a rocket, so we wanted to start from this aspect."

"Rockets are indeed fast, but in terms of cost and technology... aren't they a bit excessive?"

"Nothing is left, not even a bit. When we were developing the double-tailed scorpion, someone also said so. It turns out that there is no limit to innovation."

Yan Tao had a little respect for the young CEO in front of him: "You are the second most courageous capitalist - no! entrepreneur! I have ever seen!"

"Thank you..." Wei Xiao was about to accept the compliment, but then she realized something was wrong. "Who's first?"

Yan Tao did not hide it: "If you had come a little earlier, I might have been interested in your project."

"What do you mean?"

"My team and I just reached an agreement with another company to join another project, so it's a pity."

???

Wei Xiao was a little upset.

I'm sorry you asked so many questions?

What’s the difference between this and buying vegetables at the market, asking the price one by one, and finally deciding not to buy?
the most important is!

Hearing Yan Tao's words, someone took the lead.

And it is also a business, not a national project.

She couldn't suppress her competitive spirit.

"Put aside your regrets first. Which company's project is this?"

Yan Tao waved his hand: "I have an obligation to keep it confidential. Sorry."

"Okay, have you signed the paper contract?"

"Not yet. We just reached a verbal agreement."

Wei Xiaoxin thought, doesn’t that mean there is nothing?

She felt that there was still a chance for Shunfeng.

So he immediately became more urgent: "Professor Yan, we can provide you with a good scientific research environment. Although it can't compare with what the country can provide you, but in the business field, no one has more advantages than us at Shunfeng."

"I know this. You can come up with so many projects. I don't doubt your strength."

Although Shunfeng is a courier company.

But after completing three drone projects, it became famous.

However, Yan Tao remained indifferent.

"But the company's project is very competitive and has great application prospects."

Wei Xiao was not convinced at the time: "Is it like I'm painting a pie in the sky for you? I can do that too. I'm good at painting pie in the sky."

"It's not all empty talk. The technology is very mature."

"What if I pay more?"

Yan Tao refused without a second thought: "Even if you pay more, I won't do that."

"You want to say 'I won't bow down for five pecks of rice', right? I'll give you eight pecks of rice."

"Boss Wei, you misunderstood. Normally, I would give in if you gave me five dou of rice. We are in need of funds right now, but they just gave us this amount."

Yan Tao gestured a number with his fingers.

"A unit of 100 million?"

"In billions."

Hear this answer.

Wei Xiao and Shen Xin were both silent.

The numbers are too big.

This is no longer a matter of five or eight buckets.

This is five thousand dou of rice!
It was beyond Wei Xiao's ability to bear.

Things are different now than they were before, and I can’t just spend money like that.

Even if he went back to the time when he was spending money like crazy, Wei Xiao would still have to grit his teeth to figure this out.

Since taking over Shunfeng, Wei Xiao has never experienced such frustration.

It would be fine if we lost in the pie-in-the-sky deal.

I even lost money.

Whose general is this and who can offer such a high price?
Wei Xiao was a little confused: "Are you sure it's also a company? My goodness, they are doing research and development with this amount, are they going to do some kind of Nan Tian Men Project?"

"Sorry, Mr. Wei, that's all I can say." Yan Tao stretched out his right hand, the subtext of which was, "Goodbye, Mr. Wei."

"I understand...I won't bother you anymore."
