Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 199 198 Lin Zhe personally invites the boss to come out

Fresh lamb meat is cut into thin slices and placed on several plates, with flat and tender Chinese cabbage and some cleaned enoki mushrooms, and finally a dish of old tofu is placed next to it.

There is nothing in the copper pot except a handful of scallions, a few red dates and a few cloves of mushrooms. You can start cooking after the water boils.

Pick up a piece of mutton and blanch it back and forth a few times. When the blood red color on the meat fades but some tenderness remains, pick it up quickly. The mutton slices with the aroma of the wok and the residual heat are wrapped in a condiment made of chopped coriander, sesame oil, and sesame paste.

If you want to add a little more taste, you can also throw in some chopped chili peppers.

After taking this bite, only one word appeared on Lin Zhe's face.

Cool.

"It's still cold in the early spring in the north, so a bite of this is really refreshing."

Hearing Lin Zhe's sigh, Yan Xi followed suit and took a bite with chopsticks. It tasted really good.

It's not like she had never eaten mutton hotpot before, but she had never eaten such authentic mutton. The mutton was good, but it seemed to lose some of its flavor without being cooked in an open-air copper pot.

However, Lin Zhe frowned when he saw her "clear soup dipping dish".

"Hey man, you didn't put anything else in it except chopped coriander and sesame paste? Not sesame oil either? No, I have to let you taste my special sauce, it's delicious."

As he spoke, Lin Zhe picked up another piece of meat and coated his bowl with seasoning, then placed it generously on the small plate in front of Yan Xi.

"It's okay if you dislike it. I'll take it back myself. I can't let it go to waste."

If it were anyone else, Yan Xi would probably be furious, but now looking at Lin Zhe's frank look, she also felt that "it seemed" like it was nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Xi picked up the mutton that Lin Zhe gave her and put it into her mouth.

"Hmm...what else did you put in this? It's quite delicious."

"Come on, add some sesame oil, a little bit of Sichuan pepper powder, and some chili peppers. Although it's not the authentic northern style dipping sauce, it's definitely delicious."

……

The two of them ate four plates of mutton in total, with Lin Zhe eating three plates alone. They finished it off with some bok choy and tofu, and the meal was complete.

The moment the two put down their chopsticks, snowflakes began to fall.

This is the case in the north, where it often snows in early spring.

"Hey, the snow should have fallen half an hour earlier. Just like what someone said, when it snows, the capital feels like we've returned to Peking. It has a more peaceful feel."

"Yeah, I also think it's beautiful when it snows."

After wiping their mouths, the two of them walked out of the courtyard together. They were no longer afraid of the cold wind outside as they ate a pot of mutton in the open air. Lin Zhe casually handed his coat to Yan Xi and asked her to hold it.

He lit a cigarette while wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

"Phew~ This coat is a bit cumbersome to wear."

"Hurry up, put it on after you finish smoking, don't catch a cold, don't you have to go see Professor Wu tonight?"

"Well, I'll go over tonight. I don't know what the specific situation is. You will go back to Binhai tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, I'm going back to Binhai. Thank you for the shabu-shabu dinner. I'll treat you to a meal when you get back. You can choose the place."

"Okay, it's a deal."

……

That night, Zhang Chen came to pick up Lin Zhe. He first sent Yan Xi back to the hotel, and then took Lin Zhe all the way to the staff quarters of Beijing Electric Power University.

Zhetong Electric Power belongs to Lin Zhe, and now Zhetong Electric Power’s monthly revenue can exceed 10 billion.

Just based on this, he is a guest of honor wherever he goes. With the help of a middleman, he made an appointment for tonight, and Lin Zhe came to visit in person!

Outside the staff quarters of Beijing Electric Power University, Lin Zhe got out of the car and took a look.

Not to mention, this genius engaged in academic research is really different from most ordinary people. At least in Lin Zhe's opinion, if he can make money with his technology, he must live in a good place.

The staff housing compound of the Electric Power University in front of us looks like a product from several decades ago and is quite old.

Although it doesn’t look very good, I estimate the price should not be low. After all, this is the capital city, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

When they reached the door, Lin Zhe and Zhang Chen walked in without stopping.

The security guard at the door looked at him and didn't even ask a single question. It's not that he was irresponsible or anything. To be honest, Lin Zhe's temperament and aura were really too strong.

The man's clothes looked expensive, and there was a man following him who should be his driver. The old man thought that this man could not be a bad person, so he let him in.

Unit 3, third floor. After walking to the door, Zhang Chen put his things at the door.

"Boss Lin, I'll wait downstairs first. Please let me know if anything happens."

After nodding, Zhang Chen went downstairs, and Lin Zhe reached out and knocked on the door.

The sound insulation of this old house is very poor. Lin Zhe can hear the footsteps coming from inside even when standing at the door.

The door opened, and a middle-aged woman with gentle features came in. She must be Wu Huachun's wife.

"Hello, is this Mrs. Wu?"

"Oh, yes, you are Mr. Lin from Zhetong Electric Power, right?"

The middleman had helped to make the contact before, so Wu Huachun’s wife also thought of it now.

Lin Zhe also took out the things he had prepared and followed them into the house.

"Come on, bring anything else."

"Oh, they are worthless, just a token of my appreciation."

As he spoke, Lin Zhe put the gifts he brought aside, and then saw the man walking out of the room.

He was wearing an old-fashioned plaid sweater and black-framed glasses.

His whole temperament is just like the old scholar in Lin Zhe's impression, but the difference is that Wu Huachun really has some skills.

"Professor Wu, I have long heard of your name."

"Hello Hello."

After all, it was the first time they met, and Wu Huachun had the arrogance of an intellectual. Or rather, it’s not arrogance, it’s just that he is not very good at dealing with human relationships.

Besides, Wu Huachun himself was not very happy about Lin Zhe's arrival.

If it were someone else, they would have already "fawned" on someone of Lin Zhe's rank. But Lin Zhe was one of those people. In the early days, he was doing the most basic work anyway. He didn't have to look at anyone's face or ask for help in the company, and it didn't matter if there were some conflicts.

There was no need to curry favor with anyone. After I left the company and founded Zhetong Electric Power, it was like cheating. There was no need to cater to anyone on purpose, so I was not good at "breaking the ice".

The two of them were so awkward when they were together, but then they smiled at each other and felt like they had found themselves as "family".

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Lin is not good at socializing either."

"Yes, to be honest, I haven't really experienced this before."

After talking about this, the two of them just opened up. Lin Zhe himself is this kind of personality, he says whatever he wants to say. This time he also skipped the steps before discussing things and directly stated his purpose.

That is to ask Wu Huachun to come out of retirement and jump from Beijing Electric Power University to Zhetong Electric Power, to be responsible for laboratory research and development, focusing on the technology he is good at.

In addition to working at Zhetong Electric Power, I also occasionally serve as a visiting professor at Binhai University of Technology. After all, they are both in Binhai and close to each other.

After listening to Lin Zhe, Wu Huachun gave a bitter smile.

"Boss Lin, I believe you know me well. I have no interest in working outside. Otherwise, I would have left Beijing long ago. Now I am living a good life as a professor in the Electric Power University."

Lin Zhe had thought of this statement a long time ago, so he was not discouraged after saying it.

Instead, he spoke again seriously. He had made preparations before coming and was full of sincerity.

Then Lin Zhe said that the reason they invited Wu Huachun to come out this time was that they hoped he could take charge of scientific research. At the current stage of Zhetong Electric Power, scientific research is for scientific research results and cutting-edge technologies.

As for things like profits, they can be put at the back of the list and appear less important.

As soon as this condition was proposed, Wu Huachun's expression changed. To be honest, he was a little surprised when Lin Zhe said this condition.

This is not at all normal for a business.

Including the major companies that had approached him before, to put it bluntly, they invited him to work there so that they could use his technology to develop practical applications and then put them into the market to make a profit.

After all, as businesses, it is normal for these companies to put profits first.

Most of them are like this, but they naturally lose some foresight by focusing too much on profits. No matter where they are doing scientific research, if they want to produce some results, it will cost huge investments.

These investments may not necessarily pay off. Before the scientific research results come out, no one knows the details and what the technology can bring to them.

There may be relatively good results, which can lead to product development and huge returns, but more often than not, the investment is wasted and the results obtained may not be achieved, and even if achieved, they may not necessarily bring profits.

So compared to research and development, they prefer to make money using ready-made and foreseeable technologies.

But Lin Zhe is different. The condition proposed by Lin Zhe represents his values, which are also the corporate values ​​of Zhetong Electric Power Group.

That is, research and development does not necessarily have to be done for the purpose of making money, but for the purpose of scientific research, without considering the final results of the research and development.

Anyway, as long as you invest enough, there will always be one or two things that come out that may not change the world but at least bring huge returns.

Seeing that Wu Huachun was somewhat interested, Lin Zhe continued to speak.

"Professor Wu, as long as this is accomplished, I can make you a guarantee that I will provide you with tremendous support."

If he needs money, Lin Zhe will provide him with the full amount. If he needs people, as long as Wu Huachun asks, Lin Zhe will do his best to bring him what he needs, even poaching people.

He would not be stingy with other cooperation. In short, as long as he went to Zhetong Electric Power, Wu Huachun would be able to let go and do whatever he wanted as long as it was related to scientific research.

……

To be honest, Wu Huachun did not get much support in the Electric Power University. At least if he wanted to make a breakthrough in the more cutting-edge application of battery technology, he would need to invest a lot of scientific research funds.

Beijing Electric Power University cannot give him that much support, and being a professor here is more of a "retirement" life.

For this reason, Wu Huachun also wanted to make some changes, so when Ningde Times found him, he considered it carefully.

But the answer I got in the end was that I couldn't develop what I wanted there, and I could only develop in a way that would be helpful to the company.

That's why he rejected the offer at the beginning. Otherwise, Wu Huachun would be able to easily earn at least 5 or 6 million a year, if not tens of millions.

After all, with his status and technical abilities, he could earn fifty or sixty yuan a year at Beijing University. If he occasionally took on extra work outside, he could make more than two million yuan a year.

"Professor Wu, in terms of the treatment of talents, our Zhetong Electric Power is definitely the best. You can ask about this. I have never been stingy with my employees."

"In addition, as long as you are willing to join Zhetong Electric Power, I can guarantee that your disciples and graduate students, as long as you think they are good and can bring them with you, can also join Zhetong Electric Power. I will also try my best to invite other talents you need to assist you."

After saying this, Lin Zhe glanced at the time. It would be too difficult for Wu Huachun to give an answer all at once, so he decided to let him think about it slowly.

"Then Professor Wu, let's stop here today and take your time to think about it. I hope to see you at Zhetong Electric Power one day in the future."

……

After seeing Lin Zhe off, Wu Huachun and his wife walked home from the bottom of the building.

Wu Huachun's wife was also "listening" in the whole process and also mentioned it at this time.

"Apart from anything else, Mr. Lin is a nice guy, very polite. It would be a big boss who would not send someone to personally invite you out of retirement."

Listening to his wife's words, Wu Huachun nodded and turned the key to open the door.

"What did you bring? If it's too valuable, leave it alone. If you don't want to go, return it to the owner."

As he spoke, Wu Huachun opened the gift bag that Lin Zhe brought, and then revealed the contents.

Two bottles of wine with beautiful packaging, but I don't know how much they cost.

"Can you help me check how much this wine costs?"

"Okay, I'll check for you. Mr. Lin said it was brewed by his uncle's own winery and it's not expensive."

In addition to the wine, there are some other things, such as two cans of local honey and some tea leaves. If you look at the price alone, it is really not expensive, and the price is also announced, two bottles are less than 100 yuan.

These are not expensive when added together, but they represent the thought behind it. They are said to be specially brewed grain wine. Besides, these things are not expensive, but they are all specialties from the mountains, so it takes some effort to collect them.

"Old Wu, Mr. Lin is really good at dealing with things. He knows that you will accept some thoughtful gifts because you know that they are valuable."

Listening to his wife's words, Wu Huachun nodded, and then remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

The main reason why Lin Zhe came to Beijing this time was to meet other people besides Wu Huachun, all of whom were technical experts in the industry. Anyway, even if Wu Huachun couldn't be hired, Lin Zhe would definitely bring back a group of scientific research talents.

The scientific research track is a money-burning one, but Lin Zhe is not short of money now, and if it is managed properly, as long as there is a revolutionary technological breakthrough, it will definitely bring excess returns, just like Ant Power Generation.
