352: Took over the technology research and development project

"Ah? You're recommending a scientific research project to us?" Liu Xiaolin was dumbfounded, he hadn't expected Hong Tongtong's guess last night to be completely accurate!

What should he do now? He certainly couldn't object. Hong Tongtong had said they should accept everything without any carelessness!

"Yes, the Environmental Protection Agency and our National Science and Technology Bureau have a research and development project for a public Wireless Charging System. We were just worrying about who to give it to. Since you don't have a scientific research project, we might as well recommend this project to you. It's a win-win situation where everyone gets what they need, how good is that?" Director Zhao said with a smile, "Moreover, you have vacant land here where you can build new laboratories and production workshops, and you don't have to search the world for a site. It's simply perfect!"

Liu Xiaolin said with a dry laugh, "Yes, perfect, haha, perfect."

"Furthermore, you have many research and development personnel here, including experts in various fields such as optics, physics, mechanics, etc. It's very comprehensive. Developing a Wireless Charging System should be no problem," Director Zhao continued.

"Yes, we have a lot of talent too," Liu Xiaolin said stiffly.

Minister Yang watched the conversation between the two from the side and didn't say anything. As long as Liu Xiaolin didn't voice opposition, this scientific research project would definitely be assigned to him!

"So, General Manager Liu has agreed to take on this scientific research project?" Director Zhao said in surprise.

"Taking on this scientific research project is not a problem, it's just the research and development funds..." Liu Xiaolin said hesitantly.

"Oh, research and development funds are not a big problem. You can conduct independent research first. Then, you compile a detailed list of research and development costs, and we will apply for some funds from the Environmental Protection Agency at that time. Currently, you shouldn't be short of money. We just gave you 12 billion yuan, which is enough to develop this scientific project," Director Zhao said generously, "You definitely won't use up that much money, there will definitely be some left over, and you can even issue bonuses again at that time."

Liu Xiaolin secretly rolled his eyes, "It seems the Ministry of Science and Technology's money isn't easy to get!"

But he knew that refusing this time was impossible.

So, he could only say with a forced smile, "It seems Minister Yang and Director Zhao have already made long-term plans for the development of our Jiantuan Electronics. Thank you so much."

"Thank us for what? Giving advice for scientific research enterprises is what we should do," Minister Yang said happily when he saw Liu Xiaolin agreed. He immediately became energetic, "Don't worry, I will apply for more research and development funds from the Environmental Protection Agency at that time. We won't let you work for nothing."

"Oh, only the Environmental Protection Agency will approve research and development funds? Our Ministry of Science and Technology..." Liu Xiaolin asked slowly.

"The Ministry of Science and Technology will definitely support you when you need help!" Minister Yang said resolutely.

"Well, we need help right now," Lai Junying interjected at this moment.

"Quick, tell us what help you need, and we will definitely solve it immediately if we can," Minister Yang readily agreed.

"Where should we move these flowers, plants, and trees that we just planted?" Lai Junying asked with a troubled look.

"That's easy. You can transplant the flowers and plants you want to keep into one area to create a small garden within the park. As for the larger trees, hand them over to the Environmental Protection Agency and let them help plant these trees where they are needed," Director Zhao's mind was truly quick.

"Ah? Can we do that too?" Liu Xiaolin was speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Why not? You are helping the Environmental Protection Agency develop a scientific project, they should help you solve your problems," Director Zhao said it as if it were completely reasonable.

"No, what I mean is that those trees cost us a lot of money to buy," Lai Junying really couldn't hold back and still told the truth.

How could Director Zhao not understand? He was just pretending to be confused: "Oh, as long as your trees have a place to be planted, that's fine. It doesn't matter where they are planted!"

"Okay, okay, we will build a small garden within the park and try our best to transplant all the flowers, plants, and trees into the small garden. If there are still trees that cannot be planted, then we will have to trouble Director Zhao to contact the Environmental Protection Agency to plant them elsewhere. Don't listen to General Manager Lai's talk about money or no money, General Manager Lai just values money too much," Liu Xiaolin quickly stopped Lai Junying, who still wanted to argue, and said readily.

"General Manager Liu is indeed a man of great righteousness, the young man has a high level of awareness," Minister Yang said happily, "Remember to keep a good record of the research and development expenses. We will apply for some research and development funds from the Environmental Protection Agency based on the detailed records."

"Don't worry, I will tell the Finance Department to keep a separate set of accounts for this scientific research project, and I guarantee that the records will be submitted to you for review without a single cent missing," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

He now understood that Minister Yang was not only here to give him a bonus but also needed to know the flow of the bonus. He had thought at the time that once the bonus was given to him, he could spend it however he wanted, but now he knew that was impossible.

Since Minister Yang found him such a scientific research project, he might as well just complete it. 8 billion yuan should be enough to complete the research and development and also install this system throughout the country, which would count as a contribution to our country.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaolin felt much more at ease.

"Great! General Manager Liu is indeed an excellent manager of enterprises!" Minister Yang said happily.

Seeing that Liu Xiaolin had already agreed, Lai Junying naturally didn't need to argue about the money for a few big trees anymore.

Although he would have to use the vacant land in Langfang Jingdiao Industrial Park again, this was something he could afford, after all, he would still benefit from Jiantuan Electronics in the future. Let everyone cooperate for mutual benefit and support each other!

Minister Yang and Director Zhao exchanged glances, feeling very satisfied with the agreement reached today.

"General Manager Liu, when shall we arrange to go to the Environmental Protection Agency together? A verbal agreement is not enough, we need to sign a formal contract," Director Zhao said with a smile.

"Director Zhao is right, but the company is quite busy recently, and I can't travel that far. If you are not in a hurry, wait a little. When I have time, I will come to you to sign the contract as soon as possible. What do you think?" Liu Xiaolin said.

At this moment, Liu Xiaolin was calm and unhurried. He wasn't in a hurry anyway, so why should he rush to the Environmental Protection Agency so far away to sign a contract? You're trying to get something for nothing and still want me to travel that far? Either wait, or you can come to me to sign the contract. I'll be arrogant for once!

Minister Yang saw through Liu Xiaolin's thoughts. He was also an old hand and naturally understood that Liu Xiaolin needed to be pampered a little now.

"Oh, Director Zhao's idea is not right. General Manager Liu is so busy now, he definitely can't get away. At this time, we need to be flexible," Minister Yang said with a smile, "Immediately call Director Wang of the Environmental Protection Agency, make an appointment with him, the sooner the better, to come here to sign the contract. Tell him it's best to arrive tomorrow, and we will wait for them here for a day."
