I earn really hard money

Chapter 173 Five Major Technologies

He Xia nodded with a smile on his face: "Come on, let's go!"

The three of them returned to the sales office, He Xia swiped the card, and Amex immediately called to ask if he had made the purchase himself, and the payment was completed after it was correct!

In fact, the money for buying a villa does not belong to the credit line at all, because He Xia's deposit in the bank is enough to pay, and the inquiry is only out of safety considerations, and has nothing to do with credit consumption.

Xiao Jiang felt unreal. Although the villa was sold cheaply, the transaction speed was the fastest in her career!
After paying the money, He Xia said to Pan Lanxin: "You help me finish the rest, the professor from Cambridge is here, I have to talk about something!"

Pan Lanxin nodded: "Don't worry, I'll follow up on the rest!"

After explaining, He Xia waved to Xiao Jiang and Pan Lanxin, and then drove away from Jinlan Garden. At the same time, he called Lawyer Zhang and told him to have lunch together!
The content of the conversation must involve legal rights and interests, and it will be much more convenient to have experienced lawyers by your side.

"Miss Pan, I really envy you. It's a blessing to be able to work with such a young and promising boss."

Xiao Jiang watched the Ferrari 812 disappear into the forest, and said to Pan Lanxin beside him.

At first, she thought that He Xia and Pan Lanxin were a couple, but after careful observation, she determined that they were not a couple. It was a very strange relationship, but there were elements of a couple in it...

Pan Lanxin smiled and said, "Yes, I'm lucky."

At [-]:[-] noon, four people sat around a table in an elegant box at the Jingji restaurant on the second floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the east of the capital.

There is no distinction between seats, He Xia sat against the wall, opposite Zhou Shiyu, and lawyer Zhang on the left.

On his right is an elderly Western old man, judging from the wrinkles on his face and gray hair, he is over [-] years old. It is Professor Smith who came all over from England.

"Professor Smith, I admire your ability to act."

He Xia said with a smile, fluent English, but American pronunciation, but it does not affect the communication between the two parties.

"Mr. He, I'm 62 years old this year. If I don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't see the scientific research results I want before I sleep in my grave."

Professor Smith wears ordinary branded clothes from top to bottom, and the whole body adds up to a few hundred pounds. For a professor with an annual income of 30 pounds, it is very simple.

"62 years old is not old at all. Once a breakthrough is made in the experiment, 80 years old can only be counted as middle-aged."

"Oh, Mr. He, I like your metaphor so much, I believe it can be realized!"

He Xia didn't continue the greetings, and said straight to the point: "Professor Smith, if I invest in the experiment in the future, how will the rights and interests of scientific research results be distributed?"

Professor Smith put the chopsticks on the chopstick rest, and said seriously: "I can apply to the college to continue using the current laboratory, but in this way, Cambridge College will take part of the research results, about 30.00% five."

He Xia looked at Lawyer Zhang thoughtfully and saw him nodding slightly, knowing that Professor Smith's words should not be too watery.

"Then if you don't use the current laboratory, just take away the previous research results and rebuild the laboratory, can you separate yourself from the academy?"

He Xia asked.

Professor Smith and Zhou Shiyu looked at each other, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"Mr. He, a long time ago, um, around 2000, I made an agreement with the college. Due to the long-term supply of funds, we will never leave the relationship anyway..."

"Unless the previous research results are completely discarded, but this is obviously not possible, so part of it will be taken away anyway, and this ratio can only be reduced as much as possible."

He Xia nodded clearly. Cambridge College invested countless talents, venues, and funds before. It is really unrealistic to not get any return.

"Smart people don't say dark words, Professor Smith, my rights and interests must exceed 50.00% to be meaningful to continue the discussion. Is there such a possibility?"

Zhou Shiyu's beautiful forehead wrinkled, and her heart tensed slightly. It wasn't that He Xia was greedy. The sponsor's request was very reasonable. 50.00% five is not too high in the field of scientific research investment, but she was worried that Professor Smith would not compromise. .

Professor Smith was slightly taken aback, with a troubled look on his face.

He led the experiment, and he set up the laboratory by himself. All the research and directions are based on the theories he put forward.

In the past, he could account for 60.00% of the rights and interests of the experimental results, and enjoyed absolute authorship rights. If he agreed to He Xia's request, it meant that he would give up more than half of the rights and interests, because he still had to consider the part of the academy.

But now he doesn't have much choice.

More than 30 people in the laboratory have been trying to raise funds recently, but due to various reasons, the progress has not been smooth, and a total investment of less than 1000 million pounds has been obtained, which is a drop in the bucket for the operation of the laboratory...

There are many rich people who are observing in secret, but no one has contacted for a long time, which makes Professor Smith anxious.

If you want to continue the scientific research, this has reached the point where you have to compromise.

"Mr. He, I can agree to your request, but... I have a bottom line. If the experiment achieves results, the names of me and the scientific research team must appear in the report!"

Professor Smith said solemnly.

Once the experiment is successful, it will make a huge contribution to mankind. It will certainly not benefit all mankind at the beginning, but with the development of technology and the reduction of costs, it will eventually enter the homes of ordinary people.

What Professor Smith wants is not wealth. He is satisfied with enough food and drink. What he wants is to be famous in history. To put it bluntly, to seek fame.

Just like many people think of Tesla when they use alternating current, von Neumann when they use computers, and Alexander Fleming when they use penicillin...

The corners of He Xia's eyes twitched slightly, and he waved his palm, saying, "I don't want a name, and the return on wealth is not important either!"

Zhou Shiyu looked at He Xia suspiciously, and then exchanged glances with Professor Smith, both of them were puzzled.

"Mr. He, if fame and fortune are not the goal, then you want it?"

asked Professor Smith.

"I want the results of the experiment! I want to see the future world in advance!"

It's not that He Xia really doesn't want anything, it's just that if the scientific research project has made substantial progress, fame and wealth will come as promised, and there is no need to deliberately pursue it at all.

If you really have the technology in your hands, at that time, others will force fame and fortune into your hands!
What he hopes more is to see the future in his mind become a reality!

"Mr. He, you are a great investor!"

Professor Smith praised without hesitation. He doesn't care about profit, but longs for fame. As a result, a young man in his 20s has a bigger picture and doesn't want fame or fortune. He just hopes to make the future come true sooner.

"Seeing the future in advance is equivalent to indirectly increasing life expectancy, isn't it?"

He Xia spread his hands and said.

Professor Smith nodded, agreeing with He Xia's words very much.

"Mr. He, back to the issue of equity, if you want to exceed 50.00% five, you must rebuild the laboratory. Only in this way can the proportion of the college be reduced!"

"How much is it?"

He Xia asked.

"At present, I can't give a specific budget. The price of equipment and instruments needs to be consulted. In addition, a new experimental site needs to be found, which also requires a lot of money."

Professor Smith said seriously.

He Xia thought for a while, and said, "Give me a rough range, so I can make preparations. This is very necessary."

In any case, there must be a budget range, don’t wait for a plan of tens of billions, the unit is pound sterling, it’s really unaffordable, you can only wait for the national team to enter the stadium!

"Let me make a call."

Professor Smith took out his mobile phone and gestured.

"Please."

Professor Smith didn't get up, and dialed the phone directly on the wine table. After some conversation, he hung up the phone and said to He Xia: "It takes about 8000 million to 2000 million yuan to copy a current laboratory, equipment, raw materials, etc. Ten thousand pounds!"

"About one billion Celestial coins..."

He Xia muttered, "I just bought a villa for 7000 million yuan, and I feel like I'm walking with ease. Compared with the experimental equipment here, it's not worth mentioning at all!"
And this is just equipment, without calculating the cost of the venue.

With his current cash, he is absent from school, but he is not in a hurry. The property on Hong Kong Island has a very strong ability to realize cash, which can be said to be in demand. As long as he reveals a little idea of ​​selling, I am afraid that there will be no peace!

In addition, the next mission will start in two or three days, which means that there will be a lot of money!

So money matters are not in the scope of worry at all, only the law, rights and interests and experiments need to be considered!

"About the site selection, does Professor Smith have any good advice?"

He Xia guessed that the other party might have a plan long ago.

"Have!"

Sure enough, when talking about the location of the new laboratory, Professor Smith was refreshed.

"First of all, it cannot be in the UK. Considering the relevant laws and regulations, if you continue to stay in the UK, you will face audits and investigations from all parties. Some associations and unions will also frequently make troubles. When the time comes, you will be tired of dealing with it, which will seriously slow down the progress of the experiment!"

Speaking of legal matters, He Xia subconsciously looked at Lawyer Zhang.

Lawyer Zhang pushed his glasses and said, "Each country has different restrictions on genetic engineering. The UK is more relaxed about it, but it still has a cumbersome review mechanism, and the other is the opposition from social institutions and groups."

Professor Smith nodded: "Before, the college came forward to solve many unnecessary troubles. My team can concentrate on scientific research, but in the future we need to solve them ourselves. The best way is to avoid these troubles."

"My opinion is to buy a developed and unconstrained island construction laboratory from Greece, which can shield the outside world from interference to the greatest extent, so that those annoying guys can't find us!"

When it came to "annoying guy", Professor Smith was filled with righteous indignation, probably because he was tricked by those people.

The corner of He Xia's mouth twitched unconsciously. He didn't expect Professor Smith's plan to be so unconventional. He built the laboratory directly on the island. Isn't this isolated from the world?

Thinking of being isolated from the world, He Xia's heart suddenly moved. Since the outside world is sensitive to genetic engineering, it might be a good thing to reduce contact with the outside world!
However, buying an island requires personal investigation, and one cannot easily listen to Professor Smith's words, as it is inevitable to have selfish intentions.

"What a wonderful idea, Professor Smith, I will seriously consider your proposal!"

After a pause, He Xia continued: "Buy an island from Greece in my name, fully invest in the experiment, and you will lead the scientific research personnel to conduct the experiment. I will occupy 60.00% of the equity!"

Professor Smith considered it for a while, and then said: "Yes, another 20.00% of the college, and I will share the rest with all researchers!"

In order to continue the experiment, Professor Smith made huge concessions and compromises.

He Xia nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the results of the conversation. Sure enough, capital is king.

There are some experimental teams conducting genetic engineering research in the world, and there are only a few at the forefront!

The laboratories of those famous schools in the beautiful country, or some national laboratories, have no possibility of intervening at all. Professor Smith's team lost support due to unexpected reasons, so there is a possibility of investment!

He Xia decided to bet on Smith!

"Professor, I talked with Zhou Shiyu before about whether increasing the experimental funds can improve the progress. I want you to give me a clear answer."

Professor Smith nodded, and said solemnly: "I can't guarantee a breakthrough in gene editing, but for base pair sequencing, increasing capital investment will substantially increase the efficiency!"

He Xia knows that base pair research is the basis of genetic engineering, and only after the function of the base pair sequence is figured out can replacement, editing and deletion be performed.

"OK! If there are no major accidents, the professor can inform the laboratory staff to be mentally prepared!"

"Mental preparation?"

Professor Smith looked at He Xia puzzled.

"Psychological preparation for dedicating yourself to genetic engineering research and exploration!" He Xia smiled and raised his wine glass, saying, "Cheers."

"Haha, cheers!"

Professor Smith toasted happily, but his glass was not wine but black tea, and he could not drink due to physical reasons!
Zhou Shiyu looked at this scene with joy in her heart. There are very few men she admires. Her grandfather and father, Professor Smith, are one of them. If He Xia can really spend enough money to solve the problem in the laboratory, there will be another one. !
"It's so imposing..."

He Xia's strength is far beyond her imagination, and she doesn't change her face when talking about hundreds of millions of pounds. If she doesn't have strong strength, how can she have such courage!

She can be sure that even her own father will not spend hundreds of millions of pounds to help her realize her dream!
"Professor, today's meeting is very pleasant, so next time, I think we should meet in Europe!"

He Xia said.

"Yes, I need to go through the relevant procedures as soon as possible, and look forward to Mr. He's visit!"

The host and guest had a great meal. Although the contract was not signed, an agreement was verbally made. After each understands the details, they can sign the investment contract with the assistance of the legal counsel!
After talking about the business, He Xia chatted with Professor Smith about enjoying the future.

The idea of ​​comparing the human body to a mobile phone and the gene model group to various apps in the app store made Professor Smith ponder for a long time without speaking.

The level of understanding of biological genetic science between the two of them differed by many levels, but it was just a whimsical idea of ​​a layman, which made the old Nobel Prize-winning professor fall into deep thought...

He Xia's fantasies were like the apple on Newton's head, which accidentally bumped into a certain line of thought in Professor Smith's mind. He was in that state of thinking until the end of the meal, so that when we parted, he was just um Umm...

"He Xia, your words seem to remind the professor of something."

Zhou Shiyu was by the professor's side. If she didn't know it, she would think that she was surrounded by an old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

He Xia nodded and said, "You have worked so hard, then I will leave first."

"Okay, go ahead, the professor is like this when he encounters a problem, and everyone in the laboratory is used to it."

"OK, bye!"

He Xia and Lawyer Zhang left the restaurant and returned to the company.

As soon as he appeared in the company, he immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially the two new general managers. It was the first time for them to meet the new boss.

Originally, the two wanted to get close to the new boss, but when they saw that He Xia was in a hurry and his face was full of thoughts, they were very sensible and simply said hello and continued to go about their business.

If you don't even have the slightest vision, you can still be a general manager.

He Xia likes the current environment very much. It's only because he didn't have experience at the beginning, otherwise, it would be easier to hire someone to manage the company earlier!

"Lawyer Zhang, is it possible for the laboratory to be built in China?"

Sitting in her own office, He Xia closed the door and asked Lawyer Zhang that such decision-making issues should be handled by the boss.

Lawyer Zhang shook his head with a smile while typing on his laptop: "Mr. He, it's a pity. Compared with the UK, the Celestial Dynasty has strict control over this aspect, and there is no room for consideration..."

"Is that so..."

He Xia was a little surprised, she didn't expect this kind of result.

Genetic engineering, nuclear fusion, quantum science, artificial intelligence and graphene, these five major science and technologies are collectively known as the five core technologies that change the world pattern and promote the fourth industrial revolution of mankind.

If you can't study happily, then why invest in it? It seems that you can only find a comfortable environment overseas to invest in a genetic engineering laboratory!

"Then let's see if the actual situation is the same as what Professor Smith said. Does Greece have the conditions to establish a genetic engineering laboratory? Or is there any other country that is more suitable!"

He Xia asked, he maintained a cautious attitude in this regard, once the real money is poured in, he will reap the results, and he can't be cut off because of unwarranted things.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

When Lu Qian walked into the office, she saw Lawyer Zhang seriously using the computer, so she didn't say hello to him. She walked up to He Xia and said, "Mr. He, you mentioned the problem of the reality show venue..."

Snapped.

He Xia patted his forehead and said, "I'm a little busy, I forgot! I'll send you the plan, and you can tell the general manager to follow up immediately."

After all, He Xia sent Lu Qian the plan he and Zhou Shiliu studied.

With the help of the general manager, He Xia's workload plummeted. Unless he had to make a personal decision to greet each other, he didn't care about other things, except money.

　Check every two days, get up at [-] o'clock every morning, very annoying!
