#243 - The military arrives
"Mr. Gao Nian, I believe everything has a price, it just depends on what that price is."
Musk still insisted on his theory, believing that Gao Nian would sell the graphene technology patent license.
"Sorry, I won't sell it for any amount of money, at least not within two years."
Gao Nian refused Musk with a serious face.
"Ding Dong."
Gao Nian's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and looked at it, and found that it was a message sent by Lei Bus.
"Boss, the president of the European industrial giant Siemens has also come to Yue Guang City, wanting to meet you."
"Siemens is here too?"
Gao Nian said in surprise.
This also made Musk's face change drastically, and he had obviously guessed what the sudden visit of the famous European industrial giant Siemens meant.
The purpose was nothing more than to target Geek Technology's graphene film, three-dimensional graphene, and three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors, just like him.
This was an additional powerful competitor.
Compared to the conditions offered by Tesla, Siemens, as a European industrial giant, would only offer more,
and have more money.
However, the scene that made Musk's face change drastically didn't stop, because he found that Toyota Motor's President, Akio Tsuda, had also come in person.
It could be seen that everyone was determined to get Geek Technology's graphene film, three-dimensional graphene, or three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors.
However, the reality was destined to disappoint them. They could purchase graphene film, three-dimensional graphene, and even three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors. Geek Technology would not refuse business that made money.
But Gao Nian would never agree to buying the technology patent license and then producing it themselves.
After all, how could Gao Nian hand over his lifeline for a little money?
Naturally, the various presidents who had traveled from afar were somewhat unhappy about this.
After Tesla's President Musk left with a livid and ugly face, he complained on the famous talk show 'The Ellen Show' that Geek Technology thought too highly of itself.
He said that at most in two years, the West would be able to overcome graphene film and three-dimensional graphene technology, breaking Geek Technology's monopoly!
Faced with Musk's words, Gao Nian naturally sneered, saying that Western companies should also have a taste of it.
In the past, many Western technologies were far ahead of China. When China wanted to buy technology patent licenses, they were not only made difficult, but also picky about buying products.
Now, they can't buy graphene film and three-dimensional graphene technology patent licenses from him, but they complain that Geek Technology is too arrogant.
What kind of logic is this? Is it only you who can hit us, and we can't hit you?
Of course, when the presidents of various companies came to ask for graphene film and three-dimensional graphene technology patent licenses.
China's actions were also not slow. A serious middle-aged man in military uniform with the rank of colonel named Li Yang also visited with several soldiers.
Gao Nian naturally gave him the highest treatment and personally went out to greet him.
After all, this was a representative of the military, and Gao Nian naturally had to give him some face.
"Mr. Gao Nian, our military wants to purchase a large amount of graphene film and three-dimensional graphene. I wonder if the price can be cheaper?
Of course, in terms of three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors, we also hope to cooperate with you to develop it together and quickly bring it to fruition."
It could only be said that they were indeed soldiers. They were direct in their speech and stated their purpose directly after sitting down.
"It's easy to say about purchasing graphene film and three-dimensional graphene at a low price. We can give you a 40% discount on the price and only make a little profit, which can be regarded as supporting national defense construction.
As for three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors, I don't know how much funding you are willing to provide and how many scientific researchers will participate in the research and development of the project?"
Faced with Gao Nian's question, Colonel Li Yang pondered for a moment.
"We can send no less than two academicians of engineering and 300 scientific researchers to participate in the graphene supercapacitor."
"Two academicians of engineering and 300 scientific researchers?"
Gao Nian looked at the other party in surprise, not expecting that the military would attach so much importance to three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors.
After all, it was really a bit over the top to use two academicians of engineering and 300 scientific researchers to participate in the research and development of three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors.
After all, the number of academicians of engineering in China seemed to be very large, reaching a total of 807 people, but they seemed scarce when averaged across various fields.
At this time, taking out two academicians of engineering at once, and it seemed that they were still academicians serving the military, was even rarer.
"You attach so much importance to three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors, could it be that you want to develop electromagnetic cannons?"
After thinking for a while, Colonel Li Yang still admitted it.
After all, the news that China was developing electromagnetic cannons was not a secret in the first place. Even in 2006,
the number of papers published by China in the field of electromagnetic cannons reached 52, only 20 fewer than the 72 of the United States.
It could be seen that China and the United States had always attached great importance to electromagnetic cannons, and both sides had invested a lot of research and development funds and energy.
"Since it is for the great cause of national defense, how can I refuse?"
Gao Nian nodded and agreed, expressing his willingness to cooperate with the military in the research and development of three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors.
Gao Nian even said that if necessary, he could help design and develop domestically produced electromagnetic cannons to accelerate the time for domestically produced electromagnetic cannons to be launched.
After all, the South China Sea in his previous life was quite turbulent.
In his previous life, in December 2013, there was an incident that attracted global attention where a Chinese and American warship almost collided.
Subsequently, in the following year, 2014, when China officially launched the land reclamation project, the United States, the Monkey Country, and the Philippines were all unable to sit still.
Under such circumstances, if China's electromagnetic cannons could be launched in advance, it would probably reduce many incidents and make them shut up and withdraw their hands!
Faced with Gao Nian's initiative to help with the electromagnetic cannon research, Colonel Li Yang was naturally very grateful, but did not immediately invite Gao Nian.
After all, domestically produced electromagnetic cannons were very confidential things, and there would be serious consequences if they were leaked. If it was a time of war, the enemy might use the flaws to attack domestically produced electromagnetic cannons.
Therefore, if Gao Nian wanted to participate, he would need to go through heavy scrutiny and even sign a confidentiality agreement before he could participate.
Therefore, Colonel Li Yang did not immediately invite Gao Nian to participate in the research and development of electromagnetic cannons, but only thanked Gao Nian.
After that, there were detailed rules, and Gao Nian handed over the negotiation of these rules to Lei Bus.
After all, Gao Nian's own task was not easy. The upcoming new mobile phone and new computer brought a lot of research and development pressure to Gao Nian.
Therefore, Gao Nian directly handed over the details of the negotiation to Lei Bus. In short, once the two sides cooperated, the research and development speed of the three-dimensional graphene supercapacitor could increase by more than one time.
After all, the military would send two academicians of engineering and no less than 300 scientific researchers.
Judging from the military's importance to three-dimensional graphene supercapacitors, the research and development speed of three-dimensional graphene would naturally increase sharply.
Therefore, the research and development time of three-dimensional graphene might be reduced from 6 ~ 12 months to 3 ~ 6 months, which was naturally a huge positive news.
