Chapter 653: Subject and Object Dislocation (Part 2)
At noon the next day, Professor Jiang almost couldn't hold back, thinking whether to call Feng Yiping again, but he also understood that once he made the second call, he would have no initiative at all, but let's not call , Now for a while, I really can't find investment.
While struggling, Buchanan finally called.
After listening to his self-introduction, Professor Jiang was very indifferent, but how could his skillful skill affect Buchanan?
"I'm in Washington D.C. talking about cooperation with people from the Department of Homeland Security, and then I'm scheduled to meet with city officials in Chicago. Tomorrow night, including dinner, I can squeeze out about two hours. You have time to come to Washington D.C. , have dinner with me?"
Buchanan behaved less politely than him, to talk, yes, you come to work.
"It just so happens that the Ministry of Energy has been calling me over to talk about funding, so I'll make time for it." Although he doesn't know what Buchanan is busy with, Professor Jiang can now confirm that this Feng Yiping, in the United States, except for the book Books are more or less a career.
However, even if he was asking for help, he would go as soon as he was called, which seemed too urgent, so he gave a reason.
"Department of Energy? Need help? I knew a lot of people there when I was in the Senator's office,"
A day before and after this, Buchanan had already inquired clearly that the Ministry of Energy allocated funds to the A123 company to be established. I heard that there were not many people who supported it. After all, the production of lithium batteries now is not like the production of electric vehicles by Musk later. , is a pioneering technology and industry. Japanese manufacturers have already occupied an absolute advantage in lithium batteries, both in technology and in the market.
Later, it was the Chinese scientist of the Ministry of Energy who strongly advocated that the Ministry of Energy allocated $100,000 to Professor Jiang. In fact, it was really just a symbolic meaning, and at most it was an acknowledgment.
Actually, that's pretty good.
Buchanan, who is also considered an insider, knows that the Bush administration proposed the concept of a new energy economy. Just like the Clinton administration proposed the information superhighway, it hopes to occupy the commanding heights in this new field.
As for the specific actions, it is certain that after firmly controlling the Middle East, they will talk about emissions everywhere, fool the whole world, and spend money on this according to the standards they have formulated. Large-scale subsidy-related technologies and companies, such as Tesla, did not receive interest-free loans from the government until Comrade Ohei came to power. As for now, hehe!
"No, I'm acquainted with Minister Abraham," Professor Jiang didn't expect to meet a person from Capitol Hill. How dare he ask him to help, wouldn't he be blown away?
"Well, I look forward to meeting you tomorrow night." Buchanan, who is familiar with the current situation of A123, is very relaxed. He has already known clearly what Professor Jiang is worried about. As for the fact that he is very familiar with the Minister of Energy , he didn't take it to heart at all.
Come on, you think I don't know that you haven't even met the minister?
Professor Jiang couldn't relax. He knew from the phone that the other party was definitely not a fool. Why do young people nowadays find it so troublesome that they have to find someone to do everything? Can we still cooperate happily?
... ... ...
Before meeting him, Professor Jiang wondered whether the so-called GAIN Capital's vice president in charge of American affairs, Buchanan, who came out of Capitol Hill, might be a fabricated resume? Feng Yiping is a young man, how can he invite such a person?
When he got to the restaurant, he put away his last sliver of luck. It was a membership-only high-end restaurant that did not accept customers other than members, and members were really not those people on Capitol Hill—for example, just this After a while, he saw three senators talking and laughing happily with people, those people from public relations companies and consulting companies, and these people generally have experience working on Capitol Hill or various departments of the federal government.
"I'm sorry," Buchanan ended his greetings with someone, and apologized to Professor Jiang with a smile, "His boss is the chairman of the New Energy Appropriation Committee,"
After hearing this, Professor Jiang was a little happy. It seems that you still value my project very much. Otherwise, why are you asking about relevant policies now?
He picked up the pre-dinner wine and took a sip, "The current government is still very supportive of the new energy field,"
Before Buchanan had time to say anything to him, he hurriedly stood up and greeted a person who had just entered, "Your Excellency,"
Needless to say, another MP came in.
Seeing Buchanan chatting happily with these big shots, how can Professor Jiang have any doubts about his resume?
"Sorry," Buchanan sat down and apologized again.
"It doesn't matter," Professor Jiang said with a smile. "It seems that Mr. Buchanan is on Capitol Hill and has a lot of contacts."
"Oh, that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is looking for the New Energy Appropriation Committee, not to find out about the appropriation for batteries. ACP, you know, is a company that is oriented towards new energy vehicles. We also have shares , I am looking for him to understand the current federal government's policy on new energy vehicles,"
"I see," Professor Jiang took another sip of the pre-dinner wine, but this time he drank in a hurry, "It seems that Xiao Feng is very interested in new energy."
"However, he and all of us have always believed that the main thing is to increase investment in comprehensive projects such as automobiles and focus more on integration. As for the various technologies under new energy vehicles, there is no need to invest too much money and resources. Energy, there should be many choices at that time, in this era of increasingly fine division of labor, it is unnecessary and impossible to do everything,”
After hearing this, he recalled that when he talked with Feng Yiping on the phone, he was obviously not as enthusiastic as before. Professor Jiang couldn't even speak now.
It's hard to say too much, seeing his expression, Buchanan pulled back again, "The problem now is that we have too much idle funds in our account, but not many suitable projects,"
"Our project is absolutely very good. Our battery technology is absolutely world-class. As long as it can be mass-produced, it will definitely be applied in many ways," Professor Jiang said immediately.
At this time, how can he have the arrogance that when Feng Yiping came to him, Lao Tzu's technology was unrivaled in the world, and his influence was far-reaching and important?
"I heard that Professor Jiang's project has not started yet?" Buchanan said with a smile.
Since Buchanan's identity was verified, how could Professor Jiang dare to fool Feng Yiping with the idea of smooth progress and capital increase?
Honestly, "Yes, but all the preparatory work has been done, including the production process and process, which have also been carefully and scientifically designed. As soon as the funds are in place, they can be put into production immediately,"
But Buchanan didn’t take his word for it. Now, let this professor follow his baton.” Yiping said that he admires scholars like you, Professor Jiang, and he promises that he will build a world-class university in the future. There is no cap on the cost of the laboratory, "
... ... ...
In the evening, Feng Yiping, who had been paying attention to the progress in this area, received a call from Buchanan, "Feng, I finally understand why you demanded to take control," Buchanan said with a wry smile on the phone, " This Professor Jiang's ability in business is comparable to his ability in scientific research,"
"How was the result?" Feng Yiping asked with a smile.
"I'll hang him first, but I think it's pretty close. In a few days, this matter will be done according to your wishes,"
"Then I thank you in advance!"
"Why, did you pick up any money on the walk? Why are you smiling like a fox who stole a chicken?" Seeing him hanging up the phone, he still looked happy, lying comfortably on the sofa with a big belly Huang Jingping asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it's similar," Feng Yiping posted it on her big belly and listened, "Our little guy's father will be richer again."
In fact, what makes him more happy now is not the investment that is about to be completed and how much profit it will bring, but that Professor Jiang, who was coaxing so well when he came to the door last year, now gently lowers his high spirits. The head, this feeling, that is really, quite comfortable!
