Tan Xiu politely shook hands with Mo Yi and smilingly said, "I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, Professor Mo. I've consulted Uncle Yuan before, and he's full of praises for you. "
Mo Yi glanced at Yuan Zhengxuan and smilingly said, "I'll break his legs if he dares to speak ill of me. However, the products that he wanted to develop had already been developed, and they had achieved good results. Now that he doesn't need us anymore, he wants to push us away. We're all not happy about it! "
Upon seeing the awkward expression on Yuan Zhengxuan's face, Tan Xiu quickly said, "You're wrong, Professor Mo. Uncle Yuan and I are like a family. He introduced you to me, so how can it be considered as pushing you away? In fact, I know everyone's concerns. You're afraid that I'll be too harsh, or the direction of my research, as well as the amount of funds I can invest. Of course, there's also the issue of your salary. The reason I came here this time is to discuss these matters with everyone. "
Upon hearing Tan Xiu mention the main topic, Yuan Zhengxuan immediately said, "You guys talk first. I still have some important things to deal with. Tan Xiu, let's have lunch together at noon. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded. As Yuan Zhengxuan left, he looked at Mo Yi again and said, "Professor Mo, I just guessed some of your concerns, right?"
"That's right. What you said is exactly our concern," said Mo Yi. "If you can dispel our concerns, maybe we can work for you," said Mo Yi.
Tan Xiu pulled a chair and motioned everyone to sit down. Then, he said, "First, I'll talk about the direction of my research. I'm sure you all know about Earth's space gravity. What I want to research is similar to a buoyant aircraft, which I'll name as a Frisbee for the time being. This Frisbee can allow people to stand on it and fly, and it can be popularized in today's society. "
Frisbee?
Mo Yi and dozens of researchers wore strange expressions. They looked at Tan Xiu as though they were looking at an alien. They had seen the thing described by Tan Xiu before, but it was in a foreign sci-fi movie.
"Mr. Tang, are you kidding me?"
Mo Yi exchanged glances with the people in charge of the research institutes around him, then said with a serious face.
"I'm not joking." Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "What I said is what I think. Scientific research products needed to be filled with fantasies. For example, decades ago, who would have thought that maglev trains would exist in this world? Take the airplane as an example. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers of the M Nation achieved the first powered flight in human history. Before this day was recorded in the annals of history, who would have believed that there would be an airplane in this world? And it became one of the main means of transportation for people today? "
Mo Yi and the dozens of researchers fell silent. They finally realized that Tan Xiu did not seem to be joking. However, this kind of whimsical idea made them secretly laugh bitterly.
"Tan Xiu, if you are an investor, we should listen to your arrangements. But the Frisbee you mentioned is too difficult to study. The researchers here are mainly experts in the research of thermal weapons. Although they have done some research on gravity, it is not very in-depth. Just from your description, I can tell that there is a need for motivation, and at the same time, we have to avoid the most important problem, which is traffic. To put it bluntly, we are not up to the task, "Mo Yi said solemnly.
Tan Xiu said, "This problem is easy to solve. I'll tell you later. Let's talk about my attitude towards the research institute. I will send people to supervise and understand the progress of the research, but I will not interfere with the research. In terms of salary, you will receive an increase of 50% on the basis of your original salary. As for the research funding, I can provide it continuously. As long as you dare to ask, I dare to give it to you. "
Mo Yi knitted his brows and asked, "Mr. Tang, it's a brand new topic that's extremely difficult to research. Perhaps the experiment of this project will fail dozens or even hundreds of times … Do you have the financial foundation to do so? Can you take responsibility for what you just said? "
Tan Xiu confidently said, "You all work in Star City, so you should know about the Magnificent Tang Corporation. To tell you the truth, I'm the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation. Do you think I have enough funds to provide you with the research? "
"The Magnificent Tang Corporation?"
Mo Yi revealed a shocked expression, and a few of the other researchers even cried out involuntarily. They had been working in Star City all these years, so how could they not know about the Magnificent Tang Corporation? At present, among the companies in the entire Star City, the one that was developing the fastest and earning the most money was none other than the Magnificent Tang Corporation!
Mo Yi took a deep breath and seriously said, "Then, let's go back to the first question."
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "Professor Mo, I've understood a truth since I was young. Money is not omnipotent, but it's the closest thing to omnipotence. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. As long as I have money, I can buy the materials you need for your research with money. If you need any experts in any field, I can poach them with money. I heard a sentence a few days ago that as long as you have money, you can even get a nuclear warhead. "
Mo Yi abruptly got up and stared at Tan Xiu, asking, "I want to know how much is the initial investment, Mr. Tang?"
"I also want to know how much you need for the initial investment after the project starts," Tan Xiu asked back.
"This …"
Mo Yi was stumped by the question. He immediately whispered to the other researchers. After a long while, he sat back in front of Tan Xiu and said word by word, "If the initial investment is less than 9 digits, we won't dare to go all out."
Tan Xiu slapped his thigh and said in a loud voice, "I'll take out 10 digits for the initial investment. You can ask me again when you've used it up. "
10 digits?
1 billion?
Mo Yi and the dozens of researchers were shocked by Tan Xiu's big investment. Their previous project was also the biggest research result they had done so far, and the research cost before it was completed was only 200 to 300 million yuan. The amount of investment proposed by Tan Xiu was only the initial investment! It could still be added later.
"Are … are you sure?"
Mo Yi's voice was a bit shaky.
"I, Tan Xiu, have always been a man of my word," said Tan Xiu without hesitation. "If you don't believe me, I can set up a public account for the research funds, which will be managed by Professor Mo and me. Once the account is set up, I'll immediately transfer 1 billion yuan. "
Mo Yi and the other researchers exchanged dismayed glances. They could hear the firmness and determination of Tan Xiu from Tan Xiu's words. After half a minute of silence, Mo Yi suddenly got up and solemnly said, "I, Mo Yi, have decided to participate in the research of the Aeroglider project. I'll never stop as long as I can move before the project is completed."
"I, Wang Xin, have also decided to participate."
Another research professor in a white coat got up and said.
"I'll also participate."
"Me too!"
"I …"
Dozens of researchers stood up one after another to express their stance. Tan Xiu's attitude and the investment of such a large amount of funds gave them great courage. Since the person throwing the money was not afraid, why should they, the researchers, be afraid? Furthermore, once the project proposed by Tan Xiu was completed and the Aeroglider could be popularized among the people, they would all be great contributors. Even if they couldn't be immortalized in history, they could still win a lifetime of praise.
"I'm very glad that all of you can join us," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "I'm going to buy a plot of land in Shanghai in the near future and set up a large industrial park where the Magnificent Tang Corporation will research and develop other products. At that time, I'll plan an independent area and build a brand-new research institute. After the project is completed, you can move there to continue the research and development. It's up to you to decide how to arrange your family when the time comes. The Magnificent Tang Corporation will provide the money and manpower to serve you well. I'm afraid that you'll have to stay here for the next year, but I'll secretly transfer a group of security forces to be responsible for the safety of this place. At the same time, I'll also set up a service team to meet your needs as much as possible, whether it's in terms of daily life or the required scientific research materials. "
"Understood!"
Mo Yi and the dozens of researchers had nothing else to say at this moment except to agree. Tan Xiu's plan was very thoughtful and perfect. They had a sense of approval toward this new Boss from the bottom of their hearts.
Shortly after …
Tan Xiu talked with the dozens of researchers for a long time and talked about all the problems, and everyone was very satisfied with the results. Immediately after, Mo Yi and several experts and professors from the research institute accompanied Tan Xiu to the lower three floors to visit their real laboratory.
In the laboratory, Tan Xiu saw a lot of high-tech instruments. He was familiar with high-tech products before, but he didn't know much about these high-tech instruments. After Mo Yi's explanation, Tan Xiu found that "technology" was indeed a magical existence. Through the complementary effects of physics and chemistry, many novel things could be produced.
"Is it very dangerous to carry out scientific research?"
Asked Tan Xiu after the visit.
"Research, especially the research of special high-tech products, such as the thermal weapons we've been researching before, how can it not be dangerous?" Mo Yi forced a smile. "We've been following Yuan Zhengxuan for more than a decade, and three of our colleagues have died due to accidents. Six of them were injured and had to leave. Just five or six months ago, one of our colleagues was electrocuted to death because he touched a high-voltage electricity. Alas … people like us! How can we not deal with electric currents? Who can survive after being hit by an electric current? "
