I pick up technology in the future world

Chapter 63 A Wrong Step Is an Abyss
Sun Zhengyang talked to the point, but Zhao Nanfei listened, and this was a bit unacceptable. How did he come here these days, where did he go wrong, and now the last trembling, I thought it would be very smooth, just walk Who knew it would get stuck in the process.

Zhao Nanfei immediately defended himself anxiously, "Minister Sun, this is already the best treatment and conditions I can get for us."

"You get what you pay for. Under the situation of global cooperation, even if you pay a little more, it is imperative."

"after all……"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Sun Zhengyang waved his hands again and again, not allowing Zhao Nanfei to continue, "Professor Zhao, let's talk slowly, as we said before, the plan is generally satisfactory, and we have not completely denied your work. .”

"It's just that we still need to consider the specific details. The funding can be reduced a little bit, and the strength of technical support can also be reduced."

Zhao Nanfei became anxious: "This..."

"It's not that we are reluctant to part with things, and it's not that we don't have the sincerity to cooperate, but that cooperation must also pay attention to a process, and cooperation also pays attention to a step-by-step process. Only with strategies and plans can we achieve our goals correctly."

Zhao Nanfei didn't think so: "But Minister Sun, the asteroid crisis is imminent, and we don't have so much time to be very strategic and plan."

Seeing that Zhao Nanfei still didn't give up, Minister Sun nodded: "We don't have much time, so we can make such fast progress in this cooperation. However, we have done a lot of careful research these days, but according to what we learned The situation is that the other main members of ITER, no matter in terms of funding or technical support, at least, are more than one grade behind this cooperation agreement."

"Professor Zhao, do you think we can give our all in such a situation?"

Zhao Nanfei was stunned...

Minister Sun raised his head and sighed: "According to the content of this agreement, even if the support is lowered to another level, our cooperation agreement is the first among the first tiers. It is already very sincere."

"This..." Zhao Nanfei didn't expect this. He didn't expect Minister Sun to get the cooperation agreement from other members. This was something that he had never encountered before in the previous cooperation. Obviously, a higher level of power intervened. up...

Zhao Nanfei's heart was disturbed...

Sun Zhengyang came over and patted Zhao Nanfei on the shoulder, Zhao Nanfei almost trembled.

Sun Zhengyang's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Zhao Nanfei couldn't help but dodge a little.

"Professor Zhao, I understand your impatience. When the disaster is imminent, you still have your own calculations. To be honest, I am also heartbroken."

"However, this is the fact, and this is not something we can change in a hurry and pain,"

"In fact, it's not impossible for us to spend everything, but we must first see the hope of success. If we invest a lot of money, but we don't see any hope of return, why don't we use these resources and funds, More to support domestic research teams, isn’t that the reason?”

Zhao Nanfei was dumbfounded.

"That's what I'm saying, it's a tough time, but we still need to be strategic, to plan, to seek cooperation in the struggle."

"Looking at the history of mankind for so many years, blindly catering to those who seek cooperation, most of the final results are empty of people and money."

Minister Sun pressed Zhao Nanfei's shoulder at the right time: "So, Professor Zhao, I hope you understand..."

"We not only have to do things, but also do the right thing. Of course, if the follow-up results are good, we can continue to invest more, even far exceeding what is written in this document, but it is impossible to do it all at once."

"This is the conclusion of our research..."

……

Minister Sun's gaze and words made Zhao Nanfei feel a little chilly in the end. He seemed to be expressing his difficulties within the words, but outside the words, Zhao Nanfei also heard a deep warning.

In a daze, Zhao Nanfei returned to his residence.

Time passed slowly...

From Hitachi in the sky to the willow tree on the moon.

However, Zhao Nanfei felt that his mind was in a mess, and he was worried about gains and losses...

suddenly……

A phone rang in a hurry...

After ringing a lot, Zhao Nanfei finally came back to his senses, picked it up and took it, and when he saw the notification of the call, Zhao Nanfei became violently entangled: "Smith..."

Zhao Nanfei hesitated, but after a few ringtones, Zhao Nanfei still connected the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, a familiar voice rang.

"Dear Zhao, how is the progress of our cooperation agreement?"

As soon as he heard about the cooperation agreement, and when he thought about what Zhao Zhengyang mentioned during the day, Zhao Nanfei became furious and immediately asked: "Smith, I don't understand why our requirements for joining the cooperation are so much higher than other members! "

The other party was also taken aback when he heard this. This sentence revealed too much information.

The microphone on the other side was silent, Zhao Nanfei felt as if he had taken the initiative, and immediately asked to reduce the investment.

Unexpectedly, Smith immediately denied it: "Professor Zhao, this is impossible. How can we require the cooperation agreement of each member to be consistent?"

"I don't care what source you obtained our non-public information from, but I must emphasize that this is very unethical behavior."

"And, Professor Zhao, you can see how important ITER is now. Every seat is very precious. The fusion fire has never been so close to us."

"When we ignite the fire of fusion and support the earth civilization to survive the crisis of the asteroid impact, those of us will be forever remembered in the history of human civilization..."

"Such opportunities and places are very limited and precious. In order to keep the places and opportunities requested by Professor Zhao, I paid a lot of money, so it is more expensive, what's wrong?"

Zhao Nanfei was so stunned that he had nothing to say, and his tone softened a lot: "But, that's too much..."

"Hehe, that's Professor Zhao's business, and, don't forget, Professor Zhao has obtained a lot over the years, don't forget this..."

"What do you mean!" Zhao Nanfei was nervous, and hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing interesting. Hehe, it's very simple. Funds, resources, and technology are indispensable. It's not that we can't do without you, but you can't do without us. Professor Zhao, don't let me down... Otherwise, you know... "

The call was unceremoniously hung up by the other party...

Hearing the beeping busy tone in his ears, Zhao Nanfei felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. How did such a change happen in just a few days.

With a snap, Zhao Nanfei slammed the phone down on the ground, "Bastard, bastard, bastard!"

"This bastard, this is trying to kill me..."

Zhao Nanfei suddenly felt as if he had aged many years...

"how so……"

A few days ago, he was still high-spirited. At that moment, Zhao Nanfei felt that he was about to usher in the pinnacle of his life and become a core figure leading domestic and even international fusion research...

But now, Zhao Nanfei felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, if he took a wrong step, he would be in an abyss...
