International students returning to 90

Lin Yi held one end of the fifteen-centimeter black stick in front of him. It really looked like a scene where a stick was used to hurt people.

Smith and Thomas seemed a little timid, and the few remaining hairs on Smith's head trembled violently twice.

"You...what do you want!" Xu Shi realized that his voice was a little timid, and he tried to suppress the trembling of his vocal cords and shouted, "This is San Francisco, it's against the law to beat people!"

"Mr. Smith, you are joking. It is against the law to hit someone anywhere."

Lin Yi looked at the shrinkable superconducting cable in his hand and held it up high.

Thomas shouted loudly, attracting many people to come out of the research room.

Smith's face was pale, and cold sweat could not stop breaking out on his forehead, but he stood still.

He dare not hit me, he dare not hit me, he dare not...

The shadow of the stick magnified in front of his eyes, and when the stick was only ten centimeters away from him, he couldn't help but fell to the ground.

Lin Yi tapped Smith's shoulder lightly with a superconducting cable, and then looked at him with innocent eyes like a little white rabbit.

"Mr. Smith, what's the matter with you? This is a reduced version of the superconducting cable. I will send you back to study it yourself. Oh, for your convenience, I used a new material for the outermost protective layer, which is frosted. Very comfortable."

From time to time, there were muffled hums trying to suppress the laughter, as well as laughter that accidentally leaked out.

Smith and Thomas turned blue and white.

"I'm the deputy technical director of American Electric Power, you...you..."

Lin Yi rubbed his hands to get off work, "Then you must know Mr. George, the technical director of Anjit, he happens to be in my office now, would you like to catch up with him?"

Hearing this, Smith felt his eyes go dark, and he just wanted to faint immediately, but unfortunately, although he was obese and a little bald, his body was very strong, and he couldn't faint for a while.

"George is here?"

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded with a smile. Of course George was invited by him. He received a call from Qiao Sen on the front foot, and then he contacted Giant. Giant contacted him two days later than American Electric Power, but his sincerity was obviously higher than that of American Electric Power. America has a lot more electricity.

Their technical director, George, stayed in a hotel near the University of California, Pericles three days ago, trying to find an opportunity to negotiate with Lin Yi.

Smith took over the cable. It was a bit difficult for his fat hands to hold such a thick cable, so he had to hug it.

"George, I'm not familiar with him, I'm not familiar with him, so I'm gone, I'm gone." Smith tried his best to squeeze out a smile. He didn't know whether the superconducting cable was real or not, but this visit to Simpson Laboratory was his personal act. .

He is the deputy technical director of American Electric Power, and he is responsible for the superconducting cable. It has been seven years since he climbed up to the position of director, and he has not made any results.

No results, and a large amount of scientific research funding is required every year. The management of American Electric Power will naturally be dissatisfied. Whenever the management raises dissatisfaction and objections, Smith will confidently slap the table with them.

"From 1911 to now! How many years! How many scientists have devoted themselves to the great cause of superconducting materials, but you have seen the results! I am a human being, not a god. Scientific research projects are a long-term research process. Without this awareness, You should stop talking about technological progress, and go to hell with your old-fashionedness."

How unafraid of power, how righteous and awe-inspiring, the management is really speechless. After all, the facts are there. It is true that other scientists have done things that have not been done for more than 80 years. Smith cannot be asked to do it immediately.

So Smith spends a lot of research funding every year to participate in various sharing sessions on new energy materials around the world. For example, after the meeting in Paris last time, he even sat in the coffee shop in front of the Eiffel Tower for an afternoon. In search of intellectual inspiration".

Maybe he was once high-spirited and made a great determination to make some achievements, but scientific research requires long-term patience. Unfortunately, he didn't have that kind of patience, so his determination became muddled. He thought he would This life can continue until his retirement.

However, the success of Lin Yi and Zhuang Cheng's superconducting cable project broke his peaceful life.

When the report of the California branch was submitted, he slapped the table and concluded, "It's fake, it must be fake!" But his boss James didn't think so, he suspended the research of the project department that Smith was in charge of, and asked The technical center is trying its best to contact Simpson Laboratory.

This makes Smith unable to sit still, which is the biggest reason why he is here.

"Then you..." Lin Yi looked at him with a half-smile.

"I... I still have something to do, I have to go first, no need to send it off, no need to send it off." After speaking, Thomas walked quickly towards the gate without looking at the pale and pale complexion.

"Hey, these legs are short, and they run pretty fast. Isn't that right, Professor Logan."

Logan came out of the Ford Center when Thomas was yelling, and had been quietly watching the show by the side. After being named by Lin Yi, his old face couldn't help but turn a little red.

Professor Simpson is not here. He is actually the top person in charge of the Simpson laboratory. It stands to reason that he should come forward for such a door-to-door incident.

"Thomas, you are from Simpson Laboratory! You'd better find out who paid you your salary. If there is another time, you can directly submit your resignation report!" Logan avoided Lin Yi's "condemning" gaze , aimed the firepower directly at Thomas, and successfully shifted the target point.

Thomas turned pale, "I'm sorry, Professor Logan, there will be no next time."

He was dazzled by jealousy just now, and Smith's words were justified and confident, so he thought that Lin Yi's project was a fraud because he was not clear for a while. Now that he saw Professor Logan, his mind suddenly cleared up.

Who are Simpson and Logan, can anyone really lie in front of the two of them?

Genius... These two words suddenly appeared in Thomas's mind, and he smiled wryly. In front of such a person, he probably made people laugh like a clown jumping up and down.

"Sorry, Lin." He bowed deeply to Lin Yi, which shocked Lin Yi a lot.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet. Lin Yi, for example, has always been soft and not hard. Although Thomas hated it a bit, it didn't cause him any real loss.

"What are you talking about? We're all colleagues, and I'm sure I won't bear any grudges against you!" He patted Thomas on the shoulder hard, so hard that Thomas almost cried out in pain.

He thought it was a signal that Lin Yi didn't intend to forgive him, but he didn't expect to hear a soft voice next to his ear, "It's clear, don't look at me with sorry eyes, I feel uncomfortable."

Send away those who find fault, it's time to talk to Ji Ante, who saves face, and comes over to support himself with a phone call, so we have to be loyal.

And compared to American Electric Power, Lin Yi is more inclined to cooperate with Giant first.

Not because of Smith's affairs, but out of comprehensive considerations.

American Electric Power, the largest power generation group in the United States, has 38000 miles of transmission lines and 186000 miles of distribution lines. Its customers are located in 11 states in the United States, and the number of users is about 500 million. It has a large scale and many users. It seems to be a very powerful company. partner.

But it is a traditional power company, and the distance between the power plant and the target group of power supply is not far away. In other words, many of its cables are buried under the city, and replacement is very difficult, costly and troublesome.

The most important thing is that he is a non-profit company with an official background. Lin Yi guessed that they were so eager to discuss cooperation with Lin Yi, probably not because they wanted to quickly improve the efficiency of energy transmission, but because they wanted to seize the first superconducting cable marketing name.

To use a vocabulary with Huaguo characteristics, it is "Political Achievement Project".

But Giant is different. Giant is a power holding company and one of the largest nuclear power companies in the United States, which supplies electricity to 250 million customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

Although the user scale is only half of that of American Electric Power, he is engaged in nuclear power business, and the nuclear power plant is not so close to the city, which means that he is more dependent on electricity transportation, and the money is in his pocket, so he is naturally more proactive .

"Hello, Mr. George."

"Oh~ God, I didn't expect you to be so young, Mr. Lin, people of your age are still sitting in the classroom listening to professors, and you can already sit at the negotiating table and negotiate with one of the largest energy companies in the United States, God It really was eccentric when creating humans."

Hey, what you said here not only praised Lin Yi but also elevated himself. Is this the technical director?It can't be impersonated by the business department.

"I think I was made by Nu Wa."

"what?"

"just kidding."

"You are so funny."

After exchanging polite greetings, the two sat together at the negotiating table, "We have already submitted a letter of intent for cooperation a week ago, I think you know why I am here today."

"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't have had this pleasant conversation."

George looked at the slippery young man in front of him in surprise, a 22-year-old scientist?This person can't be a fake from some business school.

The thoughts of the two went to the same channel strangely.

"Then do you have any objection to the specific terms of the contract? We can discuss the price or the method, and we are sincerely holding it with 12 points."

The service life of Giant’s last batch of cables will expire next year, so the appearance of superconducting cables is just the right time for them, and their internal... "cough cough" good friend in American Electric Power, once secretly Faxed them a copy of the data, which was secretly tested and recorded by American Electric San Francisco Branch when it was doing circuit modification for Simpson Laboratory.

The test results show that the power loss rate of superconducting cables in Simpson Laboratory can be controlled within 5%, which is a full 15% saving compared with the traditional 10%!

This is equivalent to doing nothing and picking up [-]% of the profit for nothing!As for the replacement cost, it is only three times the original cable, of course they are willing!

And George's abacus was cracking. Some of Giant's cables are provided by upstream suppliers, and some are provided by his own cable manufacturing factory.

Originally, Giant's cable manufacturing plant was not considered large, only medium-sized, but after seeing the news of superconducting cables, George had a bold idea in his head.

Can Giant's business scope be expanded, if the exclusive right to manufacture superconducting cables is taken down?

Hey hey hey hey hey hey, go to your American Electric Power, he has already imagined the scene of American Electric Power sitting at the negotiating table with a dark face and negotiating with him in good spirits.

At this time, he had already forgotten his identity as the technical director, thinking of James licking his face to please him, he felt that his enthusiasm for work was particularly high!

"I heard that Giant has his own cable factory?" Lin Yi groped his chin and asked.

When George heard this, he suddenly raised his head, the two looked at each other, and sparks flew everywhere!Damn it!Is he really a research worker (technical staff)?The two thought at the same time.
