With Chen Jin's instructions, Ling Jun Dong embarked on a trip to Russia.
About a week later.
After a few rounds of twists and turns in the conversation and negotiation.
November 20th.
Ling Jun Dong called back. "Mr. Chen, I haven't let you down. I've basically reached an agreement with Russia's leader. The price of water is ten cents a ton, and we'll provide the service of extending the Tree of Knowledge to the university level. We'll sell virtual factories with a simulation score of four nines, and we'll give one ton of game points: 0.1 … The cooperation contract has been signed, and we didn't exceed the bottom line that Mr. Chen set."
On the phone, Ling Jundong sounded very tired, powerless, and listless.
Obviously, the negotiations over the past few days had not been easy for him. It could even be said to be extremely difficult!
The Russians were not easy to deal with. They were not easy to deal with, especially at the negotiating table. Unless they were in a state of extreme distress, there was no possibility of concessions.
The negotiation this time was the same. Ling Jundong made all kinds of analyses and comparisons, stated the pros and cons, and made all kinds of beautiful promises. He suggested that they accept the price of 0.1 yuan per ton of water, which would bring them benefits far beyond the water itself.
"The water in Lake Baikal is the best in the world. Its price cannot be less than three dollars per ton. I won't sell it below this price."
They talked for a few more days.
The price was lowered to 2 yuan/ton, 1 yuan/ton … and then it was stuck. No matter what was said, it would not budge anymore.
The firmness of the Russians' attitude made Ling Jundong waver and feel despair.
In the end, how did Ling Jun Dong succeed?
Bam ~!
He slammed the table, stood up, and said with a livid face, "It's fine if you don't agree, but you will lose the friendship of Xing Hai Technologies. You will be blacklisted by Xing Hai Technologies, and you will lose the opportunity to cooperate deeply with us! If you can bear the consequences, I will return to Z country tomorrow. "
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind a group of Russian officials looking at each other in dismay.
The next day, when Ling Jundong was driving to the airport, a senior Russian official stopped him and said that the matter could still be discussed.
In the end, Ling Jun Dong got his wish and achieved a cooperation that met his boss's expectations.
Through this negotiation, Ling Jun Dong also deeply understood a principle: it was very difficult to negotiate with others with the attitude of a gentleman.
If he were to directly reveal his hooligan side and threaten them, he would be able to save a lot of time and effort to achieve his most desired goal.
After all, if Xing Hai Technologies could bear the price of non-cooperation, could the Russians?
"You don't have to be so polite to a slut! Rather than tormenting oneself, it was better to torment others. Sometimes, being a villain is more carefree and comfortable than being a gentleman! "
It was from this day onwards.
Ling Jundong had changed. He had become a bit of a ruffian, and he no longer seemed like a "good person".
…
Only a few days had passed.
November 26, around 10: 00 in the morning.
In Dongguang Province in the south of Z country, a large scientific installation named "Oriental Hyperloop 3.0" lit up with a dazzling light!
The light inside the device did not fade and lasted for more than half an hour.
The power generated was more than 1,000 megawatts, enough to power a city with a population of one million.
The "fuel" that was burning in this device was deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen.
They "burned" continuously and steadily in an environment with a temperature of more than 100 million degrees.
The Light of Fusion was ignited!
It announced the arrival of the era of unlimited energy.
11: 00 AM
The test run of the reactor was over.
The official media released a report titled "The Great Scientific Device" Oriental Hyperloop 3.0 "Achieves Experimental Breakthrough, Z Country Enters a New Era of Energy."
Because the title was too blunt and plain, this report did not immediately cause a sensation.
More than ten minutes later.
"The Artificial Sun Has Been Successfully Lit. Controllable Nuclear Fusion Has Become a Reality."
"Excited, Our Country's Artificial Sun Has Just Achieved Success!"
"The Sun of Z Country! We Possess Unlimited Energy. "
"Awesome! Scientists from Z country have successfully lit up the Light of Fusion! "
It was only after many media outlets with "clickbait" headlines that the eyes of the vast number of netizens lit up. Then, there was a sensation and excitement!
"How … how is this possible?"
"The Light of Fusion. We've ignited the Light of Fusion so early and achieved controllable nuclear fusion. Am I dreaming?"
"Impossible. With the current level of technology, it's really impossible!"
"The news release stated very clearly that it achieved stable operation for more than half an hour. The power generated was stable at 1,000 megawatts. Finally, the reactor was shut down in a controllable state … If this is not considered a success, then what is?"
"A scientist in the official report said that if the" Oriental Hyperloop 3.0 "is used as the power generation device, the value of the" fuel "burned in a day is about 500,000 yuan, but the maximum power generated in a day can reach 240 million kWh, which means that the cost of generating power per kWh is only 0.0021 yuan. The cost of generating power per kWh is only 2%. The investment in power transmission and transformation facilities and the wages of the electricians become the main expenses.
Even so, the cost of the electricity used in the home will be greatly reduced. It may be reduced to the level of one or two cents per kWh. "
"The era of low-cost energy has arrived. Moreover, we have gotten rid of the dependence on coal resources. Carbon emissions have been greatly reduced, making it far more cost-effective to use electric vehicles than fuel vehicles. The import of oil has been reduced by at least half. The cost of living has been greatly reduced. The ecological environment and air quality will be better than before!"
"We will enter a brand new and beautiful era!"
"Hahaha, that's great, that's great!"
"My eyes are a little moist. In the past few years, whatever we buy is expensive and whatever we sell is cheap. Paper Cat can cheat us of hundreds of billions of iron ore. As long as the buyer is from our country, others will always increase the price. Especially since last year, under the instigation of the M nation, the prices of all kinds of raw materials have skyrocketed. The price of oil has doubled, and the price of food has increased by 50%. They just don't want us to live a good life!
Now, we only need to import one-third of the amount of oil that we used to import. As for food, we can do indoor farming or expand the development of the Western Desert to open up large areas of fertile land … The oil crisis and the food crisis are instantly solved.
From now on, no one can stop us on the road to a better life!
We want to live a good life that they hate so much that their teeth itch.
All of this is created by our own hard working hands and clever minds. We did not steal or rob. We only struggle with our feet on the ground! We want to enjoy the best life as a matter of course! "
"…"
In short, on the 26th.
The entire Z nation and every corner of China passed their days in joy, agitation, excitement, pride, elation, and lofty sentiments.
The confidence, self-improvement, and pride of the entire Huaxia nation had reached an unprecedented high.
Therefore, the fusion fire had not only lit up the artificial sun.
It had also lit up the light of prosperity.
