Chapter 18 Convincing Zheng Hong
Zheng Hong was excited for a while before regaining his composure.At this time, the wisdom of a scholar in his bones had an effect, he looked at Lin Dong carefully, and asked with some doubts: "Can you tell me carefully how to fund this project?"

Lin Dong thought to himself, this is the real Zheng Hong!

He straightened out his thoughts, and then said, "I want to ask first, does this project belong to the school, or to Teacher Zheng and you personally?"

"Of course it belongs to the school." Zheng Hong said as a matter of course: "Although I discovered and initiated this project, the former Principal Hu has fully supported it since the very beginning of the experiment, but just last year..."

Without him continuing to explain, Lin Dong knew what was going on.

The former President Hu was very supportive of the school's professors' scientific research, especially the kind of scientific research projects with strong practicality.Presumably Zheng Hong's high-energy battery project was also initiated with his support.

However, after Principal Hu retired last year, the newly appointed principal changed his school-running thinking and focused on teaching and educating people. Most of the projects that were originally invested in long-term research and did not see much results in the short term were cut off one after another.

It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, it's just that the positions are different.

Of course, from the principal's point of view, this is not a big deal, it's just an adjustment in policy.But for Zheng Hong's project, it suffered a difficulty that was almost a disaster.

Lin Dong shook his head and said, "If I invest, this project must be personal. In other words, the condition of my investment is that this project is owned by you personally, otherwise..."

Zheng Hong was anxious: "Why? What's the difference in investing in the school? The school's laboratories are all sound, and I'm used to doing experiments in school. If I go out rashly..."

Lin Dong shook his head and said: "Mr. Zheng, your original intention for this project is to develop a world-class super battery, and I also have this idea. But what I think more is that after the success of this project, it will give The benefits I bring. To be honest, if this project is really returned to the school, how will my investment be counted? Compared with the school, I am just a small person. If the project is successful, can my investment be recovered? , I’m afraid even you can’t guarantee it?”

Zheng Hong was stunned for a moment. He is a scholar who has been devoting himself to research. He has never thought about the problem of project transformation or the sharing of economic benefits. Now Lin Dong directly puts a cruel reality in front of him. He didn't know what to do either.

"Then what do you say?" The continuation of the project prevailed, and Zheng Hong asked Lin Dong. He believed that since Lin Dong dared to invest, he must have already thought about the operation of this project.

Lin Dong smiled, as long as he got Zheng Hong's support, the rest would be easy.

"The first step, you buy the ownership of all the experimental data and materials in the early stage of this project from the school." Lin Dong had already had a general idea just now, and started to talk to Zheng Hong one by one, seeing that Zheng Hong frowned when he heard about the money After getting up, he immediately added: "Of course, I will pay the money."

As soon as this sentence came out, Zheng Hong smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing this is no problem, Lin Dong continued: "However, you can do the specific negotiations! The purchase amount cannot exceed 50!"

Zheng Hong froze for a moment, then nodded.For the project he presides over, he really has no concept of value—of course, if it succeeds, it must be of great value, but as far as it is concerned, it is still too far away from success!
Lin Dong did know, the information in his head, that Apocalypse Energy only spent 50 yuan to buy this project, and he certainly couldn't pay more.If you pay too much money, the school may not let you go.

Seeing that Zheng Hong had no objection, he continued: "The second step is to rent an independent laboratory in the school, and you continue to complete this project. If necessary, you can stay without pay or resign directly to the school!"

When Zheng Hong heard this, he froze there, and Lin Dong was not in a hurry, waiting for him to slowly digest the decision.

This road is relatively secluded and there are not many people.

Compared with the first item, the first item of the second step was not as expected by Zheng Hong, and it was easy to accept, but the second half was beyond his expectation, whether it was to stay without pay or to resign directly. , are not things that Zheng Hong has thought about.He has always thought that he will do research in the school, teach students, and stay here forever.

Suddenly asking him to leave his familiar school for a project, he really couldn't accept it for a while!

"You are so confident that I can make this project a success?" Zheng Hong raised his head suddenly, and asked Lin Dong suspiciously. He didn't know why Lin Dong suddenly paid so much attention to him, or why he paid so much attention to his project. .

Lin Dong thought to himself, in this world, I am afraid that even you are not as confident in this project as I am!
If Lin Dong met Zheng Hong when he was hit by that book at the beginning, he might still have reservations about this project again, but after three tests, he is now very sure that the information in his mind is absolutely not true. There will be mistakes!

Even if there is a mistake, it's a gamble!
Lin Dong nodded and said, "I believe you will be able to complete this project that can change China's energy history!"

"Then, I agree, resign!" Zheng Hong nodded solemnly, and then said: "But in this case, you have to pay me wages! I still have to support my family, but I don't have any savings..."

"No problem." Lin Dong nodded happily. "Of course, before that, we have to sign an agreement. I will set up a company to be responsible for the operation of this project. Before the completion of the project, this company is empty. When your results come out, this company will have actual The agreement we signed is that I will invest and you will invest in technology. We will discuss this in detail when I invest the money, and we will have to hire a lawyer or something."

Zheng Hong nodded. This is what he should have meant. Lin Dong thought carefully, at least more carefully than he, an adult.

Lin Dong reasoned again and found that there were only a few items, so he stopped talking.

"That..." Zheng Hong rubbed his hands when he saw that Lin Dong had stopped talking, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Well, this student, how much is your first investment?"

Lin Dong laughed. In this era, it is rare to see such a simple scholar!
"I just heard you said that you are still short of money," Lin Dong pointed to the ATM machine not far from the school and said, "I will transfer 30 yuan to you now. The money for the later purchase of the project and the 150 million yuan invested in the first phase , I will give it to you within a week, when we sign the agreement, you and I can rest assured!"
