"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. I will call the United States and ask my family to help contact DuPont.
"There is no reason for them to not want such a good thing. It is estimated that as soon as they receive the news, they will immediately send a permanent representative in the UK to contact you."
Oppenheimer is still raising prices.
Chen Muwu felt that as a student, he had a certain Manchester United style.
However, Chen Muwu did not agree to his proposal.
After all, the Duke of York is the liaison in the middle, so he still has to respect the royal family and be polite to the Benemen Company.
And with the Second Prince guaranteeing it, the Bu Nei Men company must not dare to lower the price too harshly.
He really couldn't trust those companies in the United States.
And if DuPont says it can't come up with that much money, can I give you some stock? Do you want it or not?
At least for the next few years, I will stay in the UK.
If you have a good relationship with the Duke of York, then the royal family will be a wall in front to protect you from wind and rain. If you encounter any difficult problems, you can turn disasters into good fortune and turn disasters into good fortune.
"Forget it Robert, I think I'd better talk to Mr. Bert first. After all, Brennamond Company is an old British chemical company, and it was introduced by the Duke of York. His Highness probably doesn't want to see it either. It has come to a point that this new type of glass is not produced in the UK, but is intercepted by American companies.”
After rejecting the proposal, Chen Muwu turned to look at Bert, who was a little anxious after hearing Oppenheimer's words: "Mr. Bert, I have shown full sincerity, and I hope your company can also give A satisfactory price.”
"Yes, yes, of course. On the basis of the twenty-five thousand pounds just now, we still have room for further discussion."
The bottom line that A. Mond gave to Bert was thirty thousand pounds. As long as it was not higher than this amount, he could decide for himself.
Chen Muwu didn't know where the other party's bottom line was, but when he heard that the price could rise further, he suddenly thought of another problem in front of him.
The equipment in David Faraday's laboratory has not yet arrived!
Why not use the extra money to give old Prague a favor and sponsor him?
"Mr. Bert, I can't produce this new type of glass without the support of Sir Bragg. I just introduced him. He is the Fuller Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution and a member of the David Faraday Laboratory." director.
"This laboratory has a long history. Sir Humphry Davy discovered six elements: potassium, sodium, calcium, strontium, barium and magnesium in this laboratory; Mr. Faraday invented the circle here. Disk engine; Sir Dewar successfully liquefied and solidified hydrogen here for the first time; and this time I was lucky enough to follow in the footsteps of these predecessors and invent this new type of glass.
"But, Mr. Bert, as you can see, the environment of this laboratory is very harsh, the conditions are simple, and the equipment is old. It is actually very unsuitable for experimental work.
"The Duke of York and I once talked about this. He himself expressed his willingness to use his own money to sponsor this great laboratory in the history of British science, but I refused..."
Having just heard Chen Muwu mention the laboratory, Old Bragg quickly came out of the shock of hearing the huge amount.
Rutherford was right to take the initiative to fight for the rights and interests of the laboratory. His student Dr. Chen is really a good young man.
Wait and ask him if he is married. If not, it is not impossible to introduce him to a British girl.
Old Bragg was daydreaming about his future appearance at Chen Muwu's wedding as a witness when he suddenly heard that he had rejected the Duke of York's grant to the Dai-Fa Laboratory.
No, how could Xiao Chen do this!
Why not wow if you have money!
I still won't introduce anyone to him. After the engineer who came to negotiate leaves, I have to criticize him.
Chen Muwu didn't know about Old Prague's psychological activities. He continued: "I wonder if your company can provide some sponsorship for this laboratory? If scientific research units cooperate with corporate factories, they may create greater benefits in the future. Come."
Of course Chen Muwu knew that a chemical company as big as Benemen Company would have its own laboratory and be very rich, so there was no need to join forces with David Faraday's shabby laboratory.
But he still had to mention this matter, because he still needed to conduct research on low-temperature physics in this laboratory, but he did not want to spend his own money on instruments and equipment.
He had already had money to buy those things from Leiden University, but it was boring to spend his own money on experiments. He was not the sage of physics Cavendish who had money and no place to spend but had to do experiments.
At the same time, Old Prague also approached him countless times because of funding issues, and he had to give him an explanation.
Faced with Chen Muwu's new unreasonable request, Bert was not dissatisfied at all.
Anyway, my mission on this trip is to win Chen Muwu's patent on this new type of glass. As for how much it will cost, that is what the company should consider.
"Dr. Chen, this is easy to talk about. I wonder how much this sponsorship will cost?"
"Mr. Bert, I am only temporarily conducting experiments in this laboratory. You should discuss the specific sponsorship matters with the director of the laboratory. This is why I invited Sir Bragg here today.
"Give me the letter of intent and I'll sign it first. Then there's other work to do. Regarding the sponsorship fee, I hope you can go directly to the director's office and talk to Jazz directly."
Regarding the issue of funding, Old Bragg responded quickly: "Mr. Bert, my office is downstairs. If you don't mind, please come with me there to talk about sponsorship fees?"
"Of course not a problem, Sir Bragg."
A win-win situation was quickly created.
Just by selling this patent, Chen Muwu got enough money to build the school in Sweden, and he didn't need to use his various bonuses at all.
The David Faraday Laboratory received funding for reconstruction, which solved a problem that old Sir Bragg had.
At the same time, Bert, who has initially negotiated the contract, can also return to Bo Nemen Company to communicate with his boss. Maybe this time he can get rid of the negative impact of his poor work in Jihai.
The company Benemen acquired a new technology.
The Duke of York also helped the development of British industry...
Everyone has a bright future.
After Old Bragg left with Bert, Oppenheimer quickly approached Chen Muwu and said, "Mr. Chen, you haven't returned to Cambridge in the past few months and have stayed in London just to invent this new type of glass?"
"That's right, the past few months have not been in vain, and we have finally achieved some results."
"I don't understand why you were so anxious to sell the patent. If DuPont had set the price, I think it would have been higher than the price offered by these demanding British people."
"Robert, I know you mean well, but I really need money now."
We have already negotiated with Wallenberg about building a school. The earlier he sends the money, the earlier the foundation of the school in Stockholm can be laid and construction begins.
"Teacher, why did you come to me this time? I see you have been running around here and there these past few days, so I don't have the nerve to disturb you."
"Robert, I want to talk to you about this next thing," Chen Muwu found out a piece of paper and pen, and while writing something on it, he continued to say to him without raising his head, "I hope you can do it for me." I went to Leiden University in the Netherlands and asked Director Kitham of the Cryogenics Laboratory to purchase these things.
"As for the cost of purchasing, I will call you as soon as the funds for the laboratory arrive."
Oppenheimer understood that Chen Muwu was working so hard to develop this new type of glass in order to earn enough money to conduct the low-temperature physics experiments that he had always wanted to do.
The teacher has achieved so many achievements, but he still maintains a meticulous attitude when it comes to learning and research. This may be the reason for his success.
No, Teacher Chen succeeded because he was a genius, and the remaining good qualities such as hard work and diligence were just the icing on the cake.
He looked down at the projects Chen Muwu had written on the paper, and suddenly another question arose:
"Teacher, do you really need to spend 25,000 pounds to buy these things? Why do I feel like I can't even use 1,000 pounds.
"What are you going to do with the remaining money? How about I help you contact my father and ask him to open an account for you at the New York Stock Exchange.
"In the United States, investing in stocks is a good choice right now."
"Robert, thank you for your proposal. I will seriously consider this issue. But I have other uses for this money, and it cannot be used for investment at the moment."
Chen Muwu raised his head and glanced at Oppenheimer.
Fortunately this is 1925, not 1929.
Otherwise, he really didn't know whether his good student wanted to make him better or wanted him to die.
Although I can’t remember the specific time when the Great Recession started, you can still buy U.S. stocks with your eyes closed now. When the time comes, you just need to sell them in advance.
It’s just that the twenty-five thousand pounds cannot be touched. He must transfer the money to Marcus’s account as soon as possible. Chen Muwu can’t wait for the moment when the school starts construction, although he will most likely not go to Stockholm to attend the school. The school’s groundbreaking ceremony.
Because of that boat ride experience in the North Sea, he still has lingering fears.
But I still have more than 10,000 pounds in savings, otherwise I would take some of it and throw it into the US stock market.
Knowing that there is an opportunity to make a fortune but failing to do so is even more uncomfortable than losing money.
Seeing that his suggestion was accepted by Chen Muwu, Oppenheimer felt that his relationship with the teacher was getting closer.
After rushing from Cambridge to London overnight last time, he rushed from London to the Netherlands non-stop this time.
Before leaving, Chen Muwu asked him to send him another handwritten letter to Nishina Yoshio at Leiden University, who had been deceived by him and became lame.
Chen Muwu told Nishina Yoshio in his letter that after several twists and turns, he would finally start researching low-temperature physics.
He also used the provocation method, saying that he would definitely make progress in low-temperature superconductivity. If Yoshio Nishina didn't work hard, he would soon be surpassed by him.
Finally, Chen Muwu did not forget to encourage him, saying something like "In academic research, East Asians who are still at a disadvantage should support each other and make progress", "Look at East Asia in a hundred years", and "East Asia will surely become the world's leader again" "The center of the world", and "Glory belongs to Asia!" and other words that are full of secondary sense.
Not all of what he said were lies, at least many of them would come true in the future.
It's just that the big East Asian country he mentioned was not born in the year of the Rooster but in the Year of the Rabbit.
When Chen Muwu wrote the letter, he felt full of shame.
When he wrote the last period, he even blushed unconsciously.
But there is no way. If you want to inspire your own fighting spirit and let them continue on the road of superconductivity, they must do this.
Maybe a few decades later, when the letter he wrote to Yoshio Nishina is released, there will be a hot-blooded comic titled "Glory Belongs to Asia", based on scientists, and the protagonist is named Yoshio Nishina.
And the mentors who gave him inspiration and wisdom like Kamesen and Splinter were, if nothing else, ""The Great Wisdom of East Asia" Chen Muwu".
Essentially at the same time that Oppenheimer left London, negotiations between Old Bragg and the Bnemen Company were concluded.
Chen Muwu was not interested in asking him how much money he needed. He just asked Old Bragg if he could reimburse all the expenses for buying equipment in the Netherlands.
"Of course there is no problem! Dr. Chen, you have helped me and the entire Davy Faraday Laboratory so much. I am worried about how to thank you! No matter how much equipment and equipment I buy, I can reimburse you! - As long as No more than a thousand, no, two thousand pounds.”
Judging from the tone of Old Bragg's words, he should have taken a lot of money from Bu Nemen.
But it’s just laboratory funds and reimbursement for some equipment, so what kind of thank you is that!
While waiting for Oppenheimer to escort the experimental equipment and liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen back to the UK, I met Blackett who had returned to the UK after spending a year at the University of Göttingen.
It had been more than half a year since they had seen each other, so naturally the two of them had a lot to say.
Chen Muwu once again stayed at Blackett's home in Islington, and the two good friends talked all night long.
Blackett, who has always been taciturn, brought a very funny joke to Chen Muwu this time.
"Chen, what's your relationship with Pauli? I heard that in order to refute you, he traveled from Germany to Denmark, and then you beat him up?"
"Yes, no, ours was a normal academic exchange, just a little more intense... But, do you even know about this?"
He didn't expect that there would be such a big noise.
Pauli, who suffered the loss of being mute, would definitely not tell anyone, so the person who leaked the secret was probably Heisenberg, right?
"He was in a bad mood after returning to China, and he has always been very desperate about the future of physics. I heard from teachers in Göttingen that he suffered from depression because he could not explain the Zeeman effect. I almost gave up physics and became a clown actor.
“And this time, when he saw your annoying cat and the hypothesis of parallel universes, it seemed that he had relapsed.
"This time he claimed that he would change his career to write detectives. He also said that he had read a lot of Sherlock Holmes and George Chen series books to learn ideas and creative techniques."
