60s researcher

"It's already here."

"It happened to be lunch together at noon, and I wanted to have a good chat with him for a long time." Hearing that the person had arrived, Mr. Gus's eyes lit up a little.

"Lu Gong drove for two days and two nights, and he rested as soon as he arrived at the hotel. Why don't we have dinner together at night." Minister Qu still smiled and rejected him directly.

"I have to eat at noon, right? Not eating is bad for your health, why don't you rest after eating together?" Mr. Gus still didn't want to give up.

"Mr. Gus, don't worry, Lu Gong has already eaten before the rest, let's not bother him yet!"

"This……"

"Mr. Gus, it's time for dinner. It just so happens that a few comrades from the Mechanical Engineering Department have come here today. They want to talk to you about some business. How about we chat?" Minister Qu glanced at the time and extended his right hand to invite them to go. dine.

"Let's go." Knowing that he would definitely not be able to see anyone at noon, Mr. Gus could only obey Minister Qu's arrangement and lead a group of people to the restaurant.

When the group arrived at the restaurant, there were already several people waiting there. When they saw them coming, they greeted them one after another.

After a long introduction and polite words, the meal began.

During the meal, Minister Qu slipped out with an excuse, and walked directly into a small room next to the restaurant, where three people were waiting, and Secretary Ren was also there.

"How is it? Have you arranged for someone to deliver the food?" Minister Qu sat on the chair, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, and loosened the neckline.

"It has been arranged for someone to send it there."

"Old Qu, how is the conversation going?" The middle-aged man who was closer to Minister Qu seemed a little anxious. This person was Director Hou of the Mechanical Engineering Department.

"It's not that you don't know the face of those businessmen, their attitude is very enthusiastic, and when it comes to practical matters, they just drag their words." Minister Qu sighed helplessly. He has dealt with these people a lot, and he already understands them very well. .

"What is this procrastination? It's not that you don't give money. Could it be that you don't earn money if you have money?" Director Hou was a little confused.

"They just want us to worry and raise the price. We can find too few sellers now." Another person in the room said, he is Director Zhou of the Mechanical Engineering Department.

"Then can't we change one?"

"It really can't be changed. The equipment you want this time involves an embargo clause. Although it is not very important, it is not something that ordinary businessmen can get." Minister Qu was also a little helpless. Suddenly, his plans were also disrupted.

"Can you think of a way? These devices are really important." Director Zhou looked at Minister Qu hopefully.

"Either give them enough money, or give them what they want, or it will be too difficult?" Minister Qu shook his head. He is also in a dilemma now. It is very easy for the Gus family to get these devices.But there must be a price to pay for selling them to Huaguo.

"How much should I pay?" Director Hou felt that it would be okay to give more money. What is important now is the equipment, which is related to an important project.

"At least three times." Minister Qu made a three with his hands.

"It's impossible." Director Hou was frightened, and the price was simply unacceptable.

"Both of you, I bought the fertilizer production line before and the price was doubled. If it wasn't for this time to expand the production, how could it be so smooth." Minister Qu smiled wryly, and his job was also very difficult.

"Is there no other way?"

"What the Gus family wants more than anything right now is our air conditioning technology."

"It's better..." Director Zhou hesitated for a while but still didn't say it.

"Director Zhou, air conditioners are an important source of foreign exchange for us now. If we lose this technology, we can only earn foreign exchange by exporting raw materials and primary industrial products." Minister Qu knew what he wanted to say, and directly refused.

"I've been out for too long, I have to go back first, don't worry, let's think of a way." Minister Qu looked at the time, and hurried back to the restaurant.

Lu Jian had a good night's sleep in the morning, and started reading after eating the lunch delivered by the hotel at noon, until it was three o'clock in the afternoon, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Lu Jian opened the door, Minister Qu was outside, and he was the only one, Secretary Ren was not there.

"Lu Gong, long time no see. It's been almost half a year?" Minister Qu looked very kind to Lu.

"Hi, Minister Qu, come in and sit down." Lu Jian hurriedly let him sit on the chair by the window, and poured him a glass of water.

"You sit too, it's really hard for you this time, running so far." Minister Qu said very politely.

"It should." Lu Jian sat opposite him, not knowing what to say.

"You should know the purpose of bringing you here this time. Mr. Gus has been asking to see you. After all, he is our biggest partner now."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Lu Jian hurriedly expressed his opinion, thinking that Minister Qu came to remind him again.

"Of course I am assured of you. You have done a good job this time. You have produced the latest prototype so quickly. Mr. Gus is very satisfied."

"That's good."

"Then do you have any ideas for the next generation of products?"

"I already have a general concept, mainly from the aspects of energy saving and comfort..." The electrical appliance factory is directly under the management of the Bureau of Commerce, and Lu Jian directly expressed his next thoughts.

"Then when will it be available according to your estimate?" Minister Qu's eyes became brighter after hearing what he said, and there was a hint of urgency in his words.

"My idea is to start the project at the end of this year, and it is expected to be completed in June next year." According to Lu Jian's original idea, it should be the third generation of air conditioners at the beginning of next year, and the fourth generation of air conditioners at the beginning of next year.

Hearing Lu Jian's words, Minister Qu's smile grew bigger and bigger.

"Okay, I will let people leak the news of the fourth-generation air conditioner to the people on Gus's side. When Mr. Gus asks you at night, you will talk about the time and project time until next year..."

The dinner in the evening was relatively simple, and there were fewer people, only Lu Jian, Minister Qu and Mr. Gus.

When Lu saw the place, Mr. Gus and Minister Qu had already arrived. They were talking, but they didn't seem very happy. Minister Qu kept saying something, but Mr. Gus just smiled.

"Mr. Qu, Mr. Gus." Lu Jian quickly walked a few steps and came to them. He didn't expect them to arrive so early. He was led by Secretary Ren.

"Mr. Lu is here, please sit down quickly." Seeing that he was very enthusiastic, Mr. Gus asked him to sit down after shaking hands with him.Lu Jian glanced at Minister Qu and sat next to Mr. Gus.

"It's really hard to see Mr. Lu. I have asked Minister Qu many times, but I only see him now. It's too uncomfortable."

"Mr. Gus, what you said is that Mr. Lu is a researcher, and he is a very dedicated researcher. Time is precious, otherwise our third-generation aircraft would not be so fast." Hearing what he said, Minister Qu couldn't sit still.

"Mr. Gus, I've been doing research for a while, and I really can't get away." Lu Jian also echoed.

"That's it, I misunderstood. I wonder what Mr. Lu's next project will be? Is it about air conditioning?" Mr. Gus didn't care if he was refuted by the two.

"This..." Lu Jian inadvertently showed a shocked look, and looked at Minister Qu.

"Mr. Lu, I don't know which aspect of the next-generation air conditioner is mainly improved?" Seeing Lu Jian's performance, Mr. Gus knew that the news he had received was correct.

"Mr. Gus, there is no plan for next year yet." Lu Jian took a sip of water before continuing to speak.

"Mr. Lu must have a general idea now, right?"

"..." Lu Jian was silent for a while.

"Mr. Gus, let's eat first?" Minister Qu interrupted Mr. Gus's questioning.

"Minister Qu, what you mentioned at noon today can be discussed in detail tomorrow, what do you think?" Mr. Gus almost knew what was going on today.

"Of course that's good."

"Gong Lu, tell Mr. Gus about your plan for next year. Mr. Gus is our most important partner." Minister Qu was very happy to get the answer he wanted, and gave Lu Jian a wink.

"Mr. Gus, we expect to start research on the fourth-generation air conditioner in May next year. This time it will mainly focus on energy consumption. There are already several methods, such as frequency conversion technology, which is expected to save 5 points of energy consumption. Then One is in terms of comfort, enhancing the intelligence of the air-conditioning system..." Lu Jian talked about the predictions of the fourth-generation machine, but they only talked about the general concept and did not say anything practical.

"The fourth-generation air conditioner can really do what Mr. Lu said?" Mr. Gus was very excited inside, but he pretended to be very suspicious on the surface.

"Mr. Gus, we have cooperated several times, and Lu Gong has never disappointed you, has he?"

"It doesn't matter if Mr. Gus thinks it's impossible. Our current cooperation plan is only for three generations of air conditioners." Hearing his words, Minister Qu didn't care much.

"How can it be? Just to make sure." Mr. Gus doesn't dare now. The Warren family is also in contact with the Huaguo Business Bureau. It is said that it is also for Huaguo's air-conditioning technology.

"We have cooperated for so long, so naturally we will continue to cooperate for a long time."

"Hehe." Minister Qu smiled and did not speak.

"I heard that people from the Warren family will come over in a while?" Seeing Minister Qu's response, Mr. Gus brought up another matter.

"It is true that Mr. Warren is very interested in our china."

"Minister Qu, they can't do the business we can do."

"Mainly Mr. Gus doesn't seem willing to do it."

"How can there be such a thing, as long as it can make me make money, of course I am willing to do it."

"Of course that's good, that's a happy cooperation!" Both of them are smart people, and Minister Qu also knows that the other party has agreed to sell them the equipment at a reasonable price. On the contrary, they can only sell them the latest air conditioners, and cannot cooperate with them. Others cooperate.

"That's a pleasant cooperation." Mr. Gus is also very satisfied. Now their air conditioners have occupied a large number of the market, and the cost of importing from Huaguo is much lower than that of local production. They are now making a lot of money.

The two of you come and go, Lu Jianzhi can only be used as a background board.

After the two of them finished talking and the dishes were on the table, what followed was a harmonious scene. Did the three of them talk about food, scenery and culture from time to time.

The meal didn't end until 8pm.

Lu Jian went back with Minister Qu.

"Lu Jian, you are leaving for Hu'an City tomorrow." As soon as he entered the elevator, Director Qu said something to Lu Jian.

"Okay Minister Qu." Lu Jian nodded without asking why, but he was still a little worried about Mr. Gus. During the meal, Mr. Gus also said that he would go shopping with him in City G.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gus, I will tell you that you have to go back to prepare for the air-conditioning research, and he won't say anything." Minister Qu thinks that it is better for Lu Jian to go back earlier, and then directly talk about the project plan in advance, so that Can make the other party more sense of urgency.

"Okay, I'll inform the others and I'll be leaving tomorrow."

"Okay, then leave tomorrow morning after dinner, and I'll ask Secretary Ren to arrange delivery to your room."

With a ding sound, the elevator arrived at the floor where Lu Jian was. Lu Jian and Minister Qu greeted each other and went out.

Lu Jian stood in front of the stairs and thought that he had to inform Secretary He that they were leaving tomorrow, so he went directly to Secretary He's room.

The door was open when Lu saw it, and only Secretary He was inside.

"Lu Gong, what's the matter?" Secretary He seemed very vigilant, and he found out when Lu Jiancai appeared at the door.

"Where's the driver?" Lu Jian was a little surprised, where could he go at this point.

"Just went to the water room to fetch water."

Just as he was talking, people came in. Seeing that Lu Jian was still a little nervous, he quickly put down the thermos bottle and locked the door.

"We're going back to Hu'an City tomorrow morning, you guys get ready." Seeing that everyone was here, Lu Jian said about leaving.

"Are you leaving early tomorrow morning?" Secretary He asked.

"Leave after breakfast."

"Okay, let's check the car first when we wake up tomorrow morning. Lu Gong, why don't you sleep with me here tonight and let the driver go to your room." Secretary He thought for a while, but still couldn't let Lu Jian live alone above.

"It's not necessary, it's very safe here." Lu Jian felt that Secretary He was thinking too much.

"Lu Gong, we saw several lesbians from abroad in the hotel today, and there are two of us, with black hair and dark eyes, who can speak Chinese, and keep asking us about you." The driver who was silent beside him spoke.

"It should be from country R." Secretary He also had a serious expression on his face.

"..." Lu Jian was silent, meaning would someone knock on his door at night?

"I'll just close the door at night." Lu Jian felt that as long as he didn't hear anything, it would be fine, and there were so many people in the hotel, and those people didn't dare to stay too long.

"Why don't we stop eating breakfast?" The driver asked cautiously. The driver had never been to such a big scene before, and he was very nervous. He went to the restaurant to eat during the day, and he didn't know where to go. Put it on, I wish I could leave right away.

"Don't worry, Secretary Ren will arrange it for us in the morning, and we'll eat in our room." Lu Jian thought he was afraid of running out of time.

"Okay, we'll go upstairs to find you tomorrow." Secretary He nodded.

Lu Jian went back to his room to rest after talking with them.

Lu saw that he went back to his room and locked the door. Thinking that he would be on his way tomorrow, he didn't read any more. He just lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Before going to sleep, he even made two lumps of toilet paper and stuffed them in his ears.
