My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 745
"Xu Dong, I only have boiled water here..."

Principal Liu personally poured a glass of water for the other party.

Since you want to "beg for alms", pretending to be poor is necessary.

Xu Dong took off his mask and immediately took the water glass:
"Boiled water is just plain water. Plain water is the best way to quench your thirst."

"Mr. Xu, you've come to our school. Why don't you let us know in advance, so we can welcome you? If it wasn't for classmate Yin's sharp eyes, we would have missed it."

"It's not necessary." Xu Dong shook his head, "Just treat me as an ordinary parent. Besides, the school starts today and I must be very busy. I don't want to delay your work."

"No matter how busy you are at work, there is still time to drink tea. But having said that, it's a bit unexpected that you personally sent your children to school, Mr. Xu."

Principal Liu said with emotion.

Many well-known parents may be really busy with work, or to avoid suspicion, many of them take time to visit before or after school starts.

Almost none came on the first day of school.

Xu Dong took a sip of water from his cup, and then said helplessly, "Qingdao is too far away from Sydney. If I don't go there myself, the child's grandpa and grandma probably won't be able to sleep."

"Haha, I understand, I understand that the second elder can have such an upstanding grandson as student Xu Wanzhou. If it were me, I would also be surprised. Xu Dong, your family has produced a good seedling!"

"It's all the children's own efforts, and I basically rarely take care of it."

"It can be seen that Xu is very assertive. His major should be chosen by himself, right?"

Principal Liu boldly inferred.

Usually, children from families above the middle class would not choose this seemingly dangerous major, and only those students born from the grassroots would not care about it.

Xu Dong nodded: "I don't know much about this major. Principal Liu, can you tell me what it does specifically?"

"If it was a few years ago, students who graduated from this major would basically enter related enterprises and institutions, such as denuclear power units in the direction of reactors, and denuclear fuel plants in the direction of isotopes."

"now what?"

"It's different now. Last year, the higher authorities urgently issued the "Outline of Asia Interaction 2050 Long-term Goals". In this document, 'Controllable Nuclear Fusion' was listed as the No. [-] project, ranking first in the priority sequence.

All our current majors related to nuclear technology serve this grand goal. Students like Xu will be directly transferred to relevant research institutes after graduation. "

"What do you mean? Controlled nuclear fusion must be achieved after 25 years? What if it fails?"

"The document does not say that it must be successful. Let's put it this way, this is a fundamental project related to the future of the country, and there is no such thing as failure."

"So important?"

Xu Dong was quite surprised.

"Dong Xu, with Blue Star's current ecological environment, it simply cannot bear such a large population. Once the resources are exhausted, human beings will be trapped to death.

Western society is hopeless, and now our industry chain is still relatively complete. If we don't seize the opportunity at this time, it will be even more impossible in the future. "

Principal Liu's voice was heavy.

Xu Dong instantly felt a sense of urgency:

"The situation has reached such a critical point?"

Principal Liu sighed: "The impact of this polar night event has just begun, and its consequences are no less than a mass extinction."

"Mass extinction?"

Xu Dong felt his heart beating.

"In fact, the previous terrestrial ecosystem is already on the verge of collapse, and now the marine ecology is stepping into the footsteps. There is really not much time left for us."

"Is there a way to save it?"

"Of course there is. The root of all difficulties today is actually energy. As long as we break through the energy bottleneck, we have unlimited possibilities, and even open another era of great navigation, this time it is the sea of ​​stars."

"Controllable nuclear fusion has been talked about for so many years, I am afraid it is not so easy to achieve?"

Principal Liu chuckled: "Human beings lived too comfortably before, but if you look at it from another angle, this catastrophe is not useless.

The ancients said, born in sorrow, died in peace.

As long as we stand up to the pressure and concentrate all our efforts to overcome "controllable nuclear fusion", then the entire process of human civilization will surely take a crucial step forward. "

"Principal Liu, it's no wonder you became the principal. What you said made me want to devote myself to scientific research. Unfortunately, the major is not right, and there is no way to serve the country!"

Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's wrong. Modern society pays attention to division of labor and cooperation. Some people are good at scientific research, some are good at teaching and educating people, and those who are good at business like you are also indispensable."

Principal Liu waved his hand, then changed the subject:
"If Mr. Xu really wants to do your part, why not donate a sum of money to this project. Seriously, 'controlled nuclear fusion' is like a bottomless pit, no amount of money is enough."

"Okay, it's fine if you don't know about this matter. Now that you know, as a citizen of Daxia, I have a duty to do so."

Before Xu Dong entered the door, he had the consciousness of "taking a knife". He originally planned to donate the money directly to the school, but now it seems that he has a better choice.

"Mr. Xu is indeed a man of integrity. Wait a moment. I'll call Director Wu. He's the logistics director of the project. He's in charge of the donation."

Principal Liu suddenly smiled.

Although the money won't go to the school's account, it's not much different. Seriously speaking, their branch school, including his principal, is part of the supporting facilities.

Xu Dong nodded with a smile, and at the same time began to think about how much money should be donated?
……

Ten minutes later, Director Wu, whom Principal Liu was talking about, rushed into the office with a group of people.

"Where is Dong Xu?"

Xu Dong quickly stood up: "I am, are you Director Wu? It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Director Wu grasped the opponent's hand.

"Mr. Xu, our base is currently short of funds, and you are our timely help!"

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, I'm just doing my part."

Xu Dong hurriedly said politely.

The other party put a tall hat on him as soon as he came up, it seems that the picture is not small!

"You can't say that..."

"Director Wu." Principal Liu quickly interjected, "Mr. Xu's time is precious. We have something to do later. Let's stop being polite and start right away?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu, how much do you plan to donate?"

Xu Dong raised three fingers on the spot.

Director Wu was overjoyed: "[-] million?"

Xu Dong shook his head.

"Thirty billion? Xu Dong is indeed worthy of being the richest man in the world. He is a big deal when he makes a move. I admire him."

Director Wu was so excited that he almost jumped up. Under his leadership, the scene immediately burst into warm applause.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Ahem..." Xu Dong hurriedly coughed, "Director Wu, I think you made a mistake."

The smile on Director Wu's face gradually disappeared.

If it's not 3 billion, then it can only be 30 million. No matter how optimistic he is, he doesn't dare to expect that the other party can donate one-tenth of his net worth at once.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xu Dong quickly gave the final answer: "The money will always run out, so I want to donate [-]% of Xinke Seaweed's dividends. After all, the dividends are available every year, and there is a steady stream."

"Xu Dong, are you sure?"
