Chapter 398 The Struggle Between Old Foxes
Ning Xiangtian and Ning Xi gathered around. Neither of them knew much about superconductivity, but it didn't hinder the curiosity and anticipation in their hearts.
"Di——"
"Di——
"Di——"
Three consecutive crisp machine sounds echoed, and the control screen displayed the final test result.
Output 23, Receive 23, Resistance 0!
Seeing this result, Liang Chenglei staggered, falling directly backwards. Fortunately, Ning Xiangtian was standing beside him, otherwise if he had fallen hard, even if not dead, he would have lost half his life.
Liang Chenglei, supported by Ning Xiangtian, was trembling all over, looking at the test results on the screen in terror, his teeth chattering, muttering to himself: "Resistance 0, Resistance 0…"
All previous doubts, at this moment, turned into shock!
At this moment, Liang Chenglei felt like there was a large drum咚咚 (dōngdōng - thumping sound) beating in his chest. With each beat, his mind swayed unsteadily.
"Superconductivity, this is superconductivity!"
Looking at Liang Chenglei who seemed like a madman, how could Ning Xiangtian not know the situation? He repeatedly sucked in cold air, his gaze landing on Ye Fan's face.
Ning Xi jumped up happily. Compared to the two, her reaction seemed incomparably normal.
In her heart, did she always firmly believe Ye Fan would conquer superconductivity?
As for why?
The answer is simple, because Ye Fan personally told her he had conquered superconductivity.
Just one sentence, yet she believed it without a doubt.
"Knew Gege wouldn't lie to me, hehe…"
"What are you whispering about?"
Ye Fan moved closer to Ning Xi. Looking at the jubilant little girl, his emotions were infected, his face occupied by a smile.
Ning Xi's delicate head lightly shook, her clear eyes sparkled non-stop, said in a sweetly intimate voice: "Gege, you are so amazing!"
"How amazing?"
"The most amazing, more amazing than everyone else!"
Ye Fan chuckled, tapped the girl's jade-like nose, "These words sound good, say more in the future."
"Tch!".Seven
Ning Xi stuck out her fragrant tongue, muttered: "Then wouldn't your tail stick up to the sky ?"
"Cough cough——"
Ning Xiangtian looked at the dazed Liang Chenglei, then looked at the two whispering, rolled his eyes in frustration, couldn't help but pull the topic back to the right track, "Ye Fan, is all this true?"
Ye Fan raised his finger and pointed at the control screen, said calmly: "Uncle, facts speak louder than words . The result is laid out here, repeating explanations won't change anything."
At this moment, his mood was quite calm, without the slightest ripple.
Conquering superconductivity, in his eyes, was just a mission, at most a mission that could earn some extra money.
Remembering the eighty million bounty offered by the Academy of Science and Technology, Ye Fan felt a slight bitterness in his heart. For eighty million, he owed Ning Xiangtian one hundred million, a net loss of twenty million, truly a loss all the way to grandma's house!
Liang Chenglei slowly came back to his senses, the excitement on his face not diminishing in the slightest. He walked straight up to Ye Fan and stood firm, his hands on Ye Fan's shoulders, said loudly: "Ye Fan, you created a miracle, no, a miracle of miracles!"
"Your name will be recorded in the annals of history, immortalized!"
"Professor Liang, restrain yourself, restrain yourself a bit."
Ye Fan forced a stiff smile, "This kid was just lucky, succeeded by a fluke."
"Success has no flukes!"
Regarding Ye Fan's humble words, Liang Chenglei shook his head like a rattle-drum, his gaze towards Ye Fan incomparably enthusiastic, like a beggar who hadn't eaten for three days seeing a table of peerless delicacies, just short of his eyes turning green.
Ye Fan smiled without speaking.
Liang Chenglei forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart, turned his head and nodded towards Ning Xiangtian, said incomparably seriously: "Mr. Ning, please arrange for people to guard outside the villa, best not to let anyone in. This technology is too important, absolutely cannot have the slightest mishap!"
"No problem."
Ning Xiangtian readily agreed. Actually, even if Liang Chenglei hadn't said it, he would have done so.
It concerns superconductivity. Before registering the personal patent, absolutely not a bit can be leaked.
Liang Chenglei nodded, his gaze turning to Ye Fan. At this moment, where was the arrogance he had when he first saw Ye Fan in the morning? The smile on his face couldn't be more cordial. He took Ye Fan's hand and asked solicitously : "Xiao Fan ah, regarding superconductivity technology, how do you plan to handle it?"
This 'Xiao Fan' made Ye Fan's whole body break out in goosebumps.
Ning Xi giggled stealthily, her fragrant shoulders shaking repeatedly.
"Professor Liang, you better just call me Ye Fan."
Ye Fan forced a smile and said: "As for how to handle superconductivity technology, I haven't thought it through yet. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
Liang Chenglei's eyes lit up. He was waiting for these words from Ye Fan. Pondered and said: "If you ask me, such an important epoch-making technology, naturally it's best to hand it over to the country. Of course, I will try my best to discuss with the higher-ups, give you more compensation. If you have any conditions, feel free to bring them up, no need to be polite."
Have to say, these words were spoken quite directly, and the conditions were also very tempting.
Ye Fan nodded secretly. Actually, if superconductivity technology belonged solely to him, then he would definitely accept Liang Chenglei's suggestion and hand this technology over to the country.
But the key is, this technology doesn't belong to him personally. Ning Xiangtian holds a thirty percent stake.
Seeing Ye Fan look at him, Ning Xiangtian raised an eyebrow, smiled beamingly and spoke, "Professor Liang, there's something I need to remind you about. This technology belongs to me and Ye Fan."
Liang Chenglei instantly froze on the spot, his demeanor astonished.
What?
"Mr. Ning, you're not joking with me, are you? Superconductivity technology was conquered by Ye Fan, what does it have to do with you?"
"Not so, not so ( archaic double negative)."
Ning Xiangtian laughed heartily, said lightly: "Don't you forget, these instruments for researching superconductivity were purchased with my money. Ye Fan and I signed an agreement. For this research project, he takes seventy percent, I take thirty percent."
Liang Chenglei's face fell, questioning Ye Fan with his eyes.
Ye Fan nodded in acknowledgment, "Professor Liang, it is indeed so; therefore, how to specifically handle the superconductivity technology, I still need to discuss with Uncle."
Liang Chenglei's brows furrowed high, silent for several seconds. When he raised his head again, his face was full of smiles, "Mr. Ning, you haven't paid for this batch of instruments yet. It can also be said, these instruments were sponsored by the Academy of Science and Technology, so your thirty percent stake should belong to the Academy of Science and Technology."
Regarding such sophistry, Ning Xiangtian wasn't flustered at all, chuckled and shook his head, "Professor Liang, you underestimate me, Ning, too much. Don't you forget I am a businessman. Such an obvious loophole, naturally I wouldn't exploit it. The payment for the instruments was already transferred to the Academy of Science and Technology's account last night."
Ning Xi, silently watching the show, couldn't help but pout her lips, tiptoed closer to Ye Fan's ear, "This is the battle between old foxes, tsk tsk!"
Ye Fan chuckled secretly in his heart, pulled Ning Xi to sit down not far away.
Watching a show, naturally one has to sit to see it brilliantly.
Liang Chenglei opened his mouth, completely out of options!
Watertight——
Hard tactics don't work, can only resort to soft ones…
Liang Chenglei sighed, "Mr. Ning, do you know how important this technology is? You, a businessman, absolutely cannot handle it. It represents not just terrifying profits. To put it broadly, this technology can elevate human technology by a small step."
"The crime of possessing a jade annulus ( idiom: possessing a treasure invites trouble). You can't possibly not understand this principle. Once this technology is made public, then countless countries will have their eyes on you…"
"Wait!"
Ning Xiangtian revealed an old and crafty (experienced and astute) smile, said: "I didn't say I wouldn't donate the superconductivity technology. However, as for how to donate it, that remains to be discussed ."
