The Leisurely Life of Infinite Gods

The Four Seasons Club is located near the Bund on the Huangpu River. Standing by the window of the private room and looking down, you can see a brightly lit night scene.

The rippling blue waters of the river under the hazy night, and the surging crowds on the Bund along the river, also become a beautiful scenery in my eyes.

In the elegant and spacious private room, there are exquisite ornamental incense in the corner, and the smoke curling up straight up, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

In a corner of the private room, in front of a screen embroidered with peony flowers, a beautiful woman with a high bun behind her head plays the piano on the armrests. As her slender fingers gently wave the strings, beautiful notes reverberate in the room.

At the dining table filled with all kinds of delicacies, young women in cheongsam bowed their heads, waiting for dispatch at any time.

At this time, the old man surnamed Lu, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, ordered dishes from a large table in front of him, and said in a bad tone:

"Xiao Wu, I know, you rich people, the richer you are, the more you will cry poor. If nothing else, it is this meal, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it without hundreds of thousands of dollars. , enough for me to add two new pieces of equipment to the lab."

Lu Benqiang is 68 years old this year, an academician of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences, and currently serves as the dean of the School of Life Sciences of Futan University, Modu, and is a veritable top boss.

Sun Shangwu is 44 years old this year, and more than 20 years ago, he was a student of this Dean Lu.

Naturally, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a teacher. In addition, Dean Lu had a kindness to Sun Shangwu back then, so even now, Sun Shangwu still respects the old man in front of him very much.

Sun Shangwu, who is more attentive than the waiter on the side, will serve the old man with vegetables and soup. Even if he is reprimanded by the old man, he will just nod his head and be taught, and there is absolutely no disrespect.

When Chu Mo, who saw all this, put down the tableware in his hand, Tao Yun, who was beside him, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth for himself.

Looking at the sweet smiling face of the girl beside him, a satisfied Chu Mo said softly in his heart:

"How? Are you used to it?"

Hearing this, the whole person moved towards the girl who was a little closer to him, as if telling a little secret, and gently leaned closer to his ear, and at the same time, he sighed and said:

"It's hard to let go, but I'll try to get used to it."

Chu Mo nodded with a smile. After waiting for the other party to sit up straight, he also put his mouth close to the other party's earlobe and looked at the girl's delicate white and tender skin. At the same time, his heart was slightly rippling, and he whispered:

"Actually, I don't like it very much. You have to chew your food slowly. Next time I take you to eat alone, it's just the two of us. You can eat whatever you want."

The girl's cheeks were slightly red, and her tender eyes were full of amorous feelings.

At this time, Sun Shangwu, who was across from the dining table, also put down his bowls and chopsticks.

"Mr. Lu, give us the bottom line. How much research funding do you need?"

The old man named Lu Benqiang looked slightly hesitant. Scientific research is full of uncertainties.

Even if he is a big boss at the top level, he still can't give much accurate data, but after hesitating for a while, the old man who finally gritted his teeth softly said:

"This time I am presiding over a research on biodiversity and evolutionary biology, exploring the phenomena and basic laws of life from the perspectives of macro and micro biology, and the research direction is genetic diversity and biosecurity...

The participants in this research include myself, two postdoctoral fellows, one PhD in biology, six masters, and a graduate student I have brought. We have been conducting this research for four years, and it belongs to the kind of slow-acting and continuous investment. research.

The above support for us is indeed not small, but we have been trapped in a bottleneck for the past year, and there has been no major breakthrough.

So even I don't have the cheek to ask for funding, but recently the United States has come up with a new device, we have studied it, if we can introduce this device, it will play a vital role in our research.

However, given the urine quality of the United States, they must be at a high price for this kind of equipment... Conservatively estimate that the introduction of equipment will cost at least 100 million yuan, plus the follow-up research costs... There is at least a gap of 200 to 300 million yuan. "

The faint words of the old man fell, and the solemn Sun Shangwu suddenly clapped his hands. After a while, the sound of the piano in the room disappeared immediately. Then, including the cheongsam woman and a few waiters, all irrelevant people left the private room.

At this time, the eyes of several people were invariably focused on Chu Mo.

Three hundred million is just the price of a Villa No. 8.

Chu Mo of the 3 billion Bafang International Hotel didn't take it seriously, and this amount of money was no problem.

It's just that, if you have money, you will be rich, but you can't spend money and be treated as a fool, so it should be necessary to bargain.

Gently supporting the golden glasses on the bridge of his nose, Chu Mo with a dull expression said casually:

"Money is not the problem, just, how can I ensure that my investment will get a corresponding return?

Three hundred million is not three thousand. It is not much, but it is not much. "

Seeing Chu Mo's indifferent expression, the old man with a scholarly scent frowned slightly. The old man was about to refute something, but Sun Shangwu, who was on the side, immediately said:

"Brother Chu, Teacher Lu's ability to sit here is the biggest guarantee, three to five billion, you and I will not take it seriously.

It's also because my money is tight during this time, otherwise I won't be looking for you, brother. In this way, this matter is guaranteed. If you lose money in the end, or you don't get the corresponding benefits, brother, I will supply you as much as you can. "

The words fell, but Sun Shangwu turned to the old man beside him again, and said earnestly:

"Mr. Lu, I can't blame President Chu for being cautious. After all, no one's money comes from the wind, and an investment of several hundred million cannot be a small amount even for me.

Moreover, this project was invested with money in the early stage. Even if the results are really produced in the later stage, there will inevitably be some mistakes. I know that you are a high-flying teacher, but I can’t guarantee that other people have no ideas.

Brother Chu is the one I found, and I can't really watch him suffer, right? The so-called gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. I think it is better for us to set various terms in advance.

In this way, Mr. Lu, you can use your money comfortably, and Brother Chu can invest with confidence. "

After hearing the words, the dissatisfied old man calmed down a bit. When he turned his gaze to the young man on the opposite side again, the dignified old man nodded and said:

"Mr. Chu, it's our first time dealing with me. You may not know much about me. I am a researcher, and I like to talk about it.

The department did spend a lot of money in the early stage of this project, but there has been no results for a few years, and some of them are in a state of semi-abandonment. It is basically difficult to get money now, but after all, this is our entire team for four or five years. Work hard, no one will give up if you give up.

Mr. Chu, if you are willing to invest money and get results, I will talk to the above, and I will never treat you badly, Mr. Chu.

If someone really wants to pick peaches, I won't let them succeed even if I fight this old face, and I can only say that for this sake. How to do it depends on your consideration, President Chu. "

An academy teacher who enjoys the Huaguo allowance personally guarantees, and with Sun Shangwu as the second guarantor, Chu Mo basically does not have to worry about being picked peaches.

Even if he took 10,000 steps back and said that this project did not produce results, or that something went wrong in the middle, but the investment of 300 million yuan, even Chu Mo would not take it seriously.

And if you can make a relationship with a teacher and get the other party's favor, the investment of 300 million yuan can't be said to be in vain.

Turning his eyes to Tao Yun who was looking to the side, after seeing the longing in the girl's eyes, he nodded lightly, and Chu Mo, who was holding the red wine in front of him, said sincerely:

"For the sake of science, let's raise a glass together."
