Chapter 206 Negotiation, Striving for Benefits

There was a kind of concealed sadness in Professor Li's eyes.

When people reach a certain age, there are not many people who can still be called friends.

Only those with whom you can confide can keep things in your heart.

The loss of a close friend made Professor Li hate that world of fame and fortune.

With a heavy sigh, Professor Li said with relief: "But this is just a small experience of mine in the past. If you are interested, you can go. Don't be influenced by me. That's all I said."

"Teacher, have you forgotten that I am fame and fortune itself? If you want to use fame and fortune to change me, you must first be richer and more powerful than me, and also be a better fighter, otherwise I won't accept it."

Su Xiaocai looked proud.

Professor Li was immediately amused. "Yes, yes, only you can change others."

"That's it." Su Xiaocai also brought a gift to Professor Li. "I just cultivated the golden blue mushrooms. There are no mutations. If the professor wants to know its experimental environment, you are welcome to visit my manor."

"Have you even solved the problem of their breeding environment?"

"Not really. It's just an observation stage. It seems to grow well only when it is accompanied by other plants."

"That's great. I was just worrying about the direction of the experiment. After my visit, I will try to see if I can succeed with other companion plants." Professor Li smiled even more brightly. He couldn't wait to set off immediately, but thinking of the class tomorrow, he had to suppress his excitement.

Su Xiaocai laughed too.

Professor Li is such a lovely old man. He is rigorous in his academic approach and a very insightful person.

He believes that copying instead of doing things, learning from each other and getting inspiration from other people's experiments is also a way.

Cultivation cannot be accomplished behind closed doors, otherwise what is the point of references?

Professors from other schools also like to come here and see other people's achievements.

Only by working together and allowing all flowers to bloom can we develop agriculture well.

As soon as she walked out of the office, Fei Yi immediately asked about the charity dinner and asked whether they had invited her.

"do not know."

Fei Yi: "Your name is on the official invitation list."

Su Xiaocai was confused and quickly looked through the most recent communication messages.

The advantage of grouping the contact list is that the information from those who are close and contacted frequently will be pinned to the top.

Messages from strangers are all pushed down below, and if you don’t look at them, you won’t notice them at all.

Then, there really was an unfamiliar invitation letter with a cover that was so beautiful, so beautiful that it looked like an advertising animated graphic, so Su Xiaocai ignored it.

Chibi Maruko wouldn't specifically remind her of the invitation to the party. She had said before that if there were similar parties again, she should seldom attend them, so Chibi Maruko didn't pay any attention to it.

Su Xiaocai clicked it and took a look. The interior design was quite formal and elegant.

The invitation language was exactly the same, and perhaps because of Professor Li's introduction, Su Xiaocai felt disgusted.

Fei Yi asked: "Will you be there then?"

"The professor just mentioned this to me. So, is there really any particular reason for going or not?"

"It has a very high standard. Those who go are all very powerful people. As long as you are invited, it means that your status is recognized by the upper class, and it is easy to cross the class. If you don't go, people will think that you look down on the person who initiated the event."

"You are so eager to ask me, and you are invited?"

Feiyi nodded, "If you go, I'll go. If you don't go, I won't go either."

If you want to become famous, the fastest way is to use your connections.

Just like a person in a company, it is one thing to have someone to promote him or her or to have no one to appreciate him.

With someone's support, you can rise rapidly.

Since no one appreciates you, you'd better just lurk and don't show up.

If there is a sudden promotion, you need to be vigilant, as it may be an attempt to find a scapegoat.

The rules in the workplace have always been like this. Feiyi is ambitious and of course hopes to have more high-quality network resources.

But many times, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Between clinging to Su Xiaocai and choosing more connections, Feiyi feels that Su Xiaocai is more important. Su Xiaocai is her strongest supporter.

People in the industry laughed at her for having only one successful case, but they all ignored the fact that she had only been a real lawyer for a short time.

Su Xiaocai didn't restrict her from taking orders from other people, so taking things step by step with her feet on the ground is also a good choice.

Of course, one should become famous as early as possible. If Su Xiaocai is willing to participate, she will go too.

Su Xiaocai shook her head. "No, it mentions charity. With the money I earn now, it would be inappropriate to donate too little, and I feel I would lose out if I donate too much. I can do charity myself, but if I let others do it, I don't know where the money goes. There are so many employees in remote areas among me, and giving them gifts or red envelopes is also targeted poverty alleviation."

Feiyi smiled happily, "I've seen many bosses who would rather be generous to outsiders than pay their employees more."

"Maybe it's because if we give employees money this time but don't give them money next time, they will be dissatisfied?" Human psychology is so strange.

For the time being, Su Xiaocai doesn't need to worry about this.

"Then I will reply that I won't go. Don't change your mind when the time comes. I will go to your manor to hide for two days during the Harvest Festival."

"I'll ask Ji Li to build two houses." The kind that can be moved into right away. The temperature in the manor won't be too low, which is perfect for appreciating bamboo.

"The boss is generous and keeps his word."

Su Xiaocai smiled, Ji Li was more generous.

Oh, I was forced to be generous.

But it doesn’t matter. For Ji Li, the cost of building a small house is not even pocket money.

At worst, she could just draw a picture of mountains and rivers for him, and he would make a fortune.

Next, we will go to the math and physics teacher’s project research site.

In order to increase the possibility of Su Xiaocai signing the contract, the math and physics teacher led the way and took her to the laboratory.

The laboratory is located in the basement of the school's experimental building, almost a hundred meters deep, and is an area dedicated to various dangerous experiments.

The math and physics teacher's project occupies an entire underground floor, which is divided into several areas.

There are three large devices inside, which are project machines designed by three groups of people.

"There is also such a machine underground on another planet. Our current goal is to realize an experiment in which the goods can be transported intact to another machine without the assistance of aircraft carriers..." The math and physics teacher introduced and talked about some of their advantages.

This experiment is supported by the government, and several schools that specialize in science and technology for the government are doing it. Military training should be the one with the fastest progress.

Feiyi listened carefully and thought of a question, "If it succeeds, it will impact the aircraft carrier market."

The math teacher nodded and replied, "The aircraft carrier market will still exist, but it will have an impact on the freight industry. However, things will work out when the time comes. If the market changes, it will naturally adjust itself. This is not something we should be concerned about."

Projects supported by higher authorities will have plans. Scientists cannot stop conducting research because they are worried about employment issues. This is not conducive to scientific progress.

Su Xiaocai took the contract and some of the design drawings and looked at them for a while. She said, "What is my job? Just support the calculations? Or provide guidance?"

"We naturally want you to give us guidance." Su Xiaocai's ability to create black wings and mechanical limbs has already proven his ability. The math and physics teacher is confident that as long as Su Xiaocai joins, the chances of success will be greatly increased. "Guidance?" Su Xiaocai said indifferently: "The salary and patent income shares you give are not enough."

Isn’t this enough? You have to know that Su Xiaocai only joined in the middle, and it’s already good enough to enjoy these.

"Then how much do you want?" The math and physics teacher thought it was not too much and could help you get it.

Su Xiaocai didn't say how much it would cost. She first talked about the manufacturing principles of the machines in front of her, and then pointed out the differences.

The math and physics teacher and Fei Yi were stunned. The math and physics teacher's eyes were bright and his scalp was tingling with excitement.

I think Su Xiaocai is super amazing that she can see through the differences between the three project teams at a glance. She deserves to be the smartest person of this century.

Su Xiaocai changed the subject and said, "I have an idea for this machine. If it's not too time-consuming to make it alone, I can make it myself."

The math teacher looked at Su Xiaocai intently, thinking about the possibility that Su Xiaocai was lying.

Since Su Xiaocai's tone was so firm, she had no way of questioning it, so she asked carefully, "How much do you think the ideas you provided are worth?"

"The salary has doubled, and the patent income has increased by a quarter." Su Xiaocai did not lie, she even brought half of her own design drawings.

It’s not that she can’t do the project, it’s just that it takes too much time.

She has too many things to do, and she doesn't know how many years it will take her to find time to do this. The New World Project is based on the Extraordinary Island Plan, so it can be set up quickly.

She started thinking about and designing mechas and mechanical arms a long time ago.

None of this came out at once; I had ideas and preparations.

This kind of "heavy equipment" is not working, even the program needs to be redesigned.

Time does not allow Su Xiaocai to complete it alone.

The math and physics teacher picked up Su Xiaocai's drawings. Just from the first drawing, she knew that Su Xiaocai was not greedy. The instrument design and the operating procedures described in it were very consistent with their design ideas.

Some of the parts looked familiar, similar in style to the parts they already had.

It’s just that she has a complete idea, so all the specifications and sizes are marked.

In other words, Su Xiaocai could do this experiment completely independently of them.

If Su Xiaocai achieved results first, all their efforts would be in vain.

"I can't make a decision." The math and physics teacher was stunned. He didn't expect Su Xiaocai to negotiate with important news right away. "You can take the contract back and take a look at it first. You don't have to look at the profit distribution item for now." Based on the drawings alone, Su Xiaocai had sufficient reasons to want more.

The math and physics teacher then asked, "Can you guarantee that the finished product will be usable?"

"How about this, don't call the project the xxx experiment, just call it the processing group." Su Xiaocai's expression of rolling her eyes was particularly cute, and she said in a muffled voice: "What good things are you thinking about."

"Then...then how sure are you?"

“About 70%. This design is definitely not the final draft. You will have to do the production, program editing and control by yourselves. I can give you ideas and a complete set of planning processes…” Su Xiaocai said slowly.

It seems that in her mind, there is nothing that cannot be achieved.

Many of her ideas are not imagined out of thin air, but have basis and principles.

The math teacher slowed down his breathing. Su Xiaocai's words had a convincing magic.

The more I listen, the more addicted I become.

She then asked a lot of questions, and Su Xiaocai could answer them all.

Finally she came to her senses and realized what the difference was between this and giving it away directly. "If you don't join the production process, a quarter is too much. I'll try to get a tenth. Is that okay?"

"No. I've looked at the portion of the schedule you showed me, and based on the research you're pushing forward, it will take at least ten years to develop it."

Don’t think that warships and aircraft carriers can reach the other side of the universe through space shuttles.

In fact, many issues are still in a state of semi-knowledge.

She was not kidding. Conquering space has always been an extremely difficult problem.

The high transportation cost also needs to be addressed.

Don’t even think about how much money it costs to build a torus. The energy consumed when it is turned on is also extremely huge, and a small planet cannot afford it.

Therefore, many remote small planets have not been able to effectively utilize their resources.

All goods are transported out by aircraft carriers stopping for replenishment along the way.

And why do we choose some already developed planets as garbage planets? It is because it is convenient for transportation. Some garbage that cannot be processed in time can be thrown there, saving trouble and effort.

The goal given by the superiors is definitely not only to achieve instant transportation of goods, but also to control costs.

They haven't even completed the first steps, so the rest will be even more difficult.

The math and physics teacher was always stuck, so he had to seek help from outside and find the students.

"Can I take all these blueprints back?"

"No." Su Xiaocai pulled out a few cards, "You can take these, but not the others."

She is not a sucker.

After this "space artifact" comes out, it cannot be mass-produced quickly like the Black Wing.

The time line from successful R&D to patent application to mass production is bottomless.

People working in the transportation industry can make a lot of money, but how many years can a patent last?

She drew the blueprints, put all her heart into giving instructions, and was also asked to do some calculations. She would not do it if it meant earning less.

Now, she was the one asking her to join, so she definitely couldn't be rude.

After talking it out, Su Xiaocai felt relieved. She handed the contract to Fei Yi and left.

The math teacher is so annoying, Su Xiaocai gave her a difficult question.
She scratched her hair and it fell out again and again, her poor thin limp hair.

The math and physics teacher was worried about how to convince others, and was also annoyed that it was difficult to hire the great Su Xiaocai.

Su Xiaocai walked out of the school gate accompanied by Fei Yi. When she returned to the Feifan Island office, the front desk told her that some people from the Harvest Festival party had arrived, probably to invite her personally.

Su Xiaocai, who had just relaxed and was planning to study mecha, slumped her shoulders. She clearly refused to attend, so why did he come directly here?

It's so annoying to say polite words without completely offending people.

Feiyi patted Su Xiaocai on the back and said, "You have to meet them. You can't escape. Don't worry. They won't dare to look bad on you."

"I know." Su Xiaocai nodded at her, "Go back and take a good look at the contract. If there's anything unreasonable, see how to amend it."

"Got it." Fei Yi will definitely do her job with all her heart.

After saying that, Su Xiaocai straightened his chest and went to fight.

There were only two people sitting in the huge conference room, one was Su Xiaocai and the other was from the Lu family.

I didn’t send anyone from the Yi family, so I think they were sensible.

But the Lu family was not much better, and the people who came were very arrogant.

It's even a little bit like, I've come to invite you personally, so you shouldn't be so pretentious, just lower your posture and cooperate.
