Chapter 704: Unsteady Faith in the "God of Wealth"

Zhuang Xueyan has no doubts about Zhang Haonan's financial resources, but he needs to understand the source of funding clearly. In addition, Zhuang Xueyan wants to drain his own scientific research resources, including overseas ones, so he also looks forward to making some gains internationally. .

Instead, international funding has become a trivial matter, mainly laboratory equipment, scientific research instruments, etc. This is the big one.

Either there is a price but no market, or it is embargoed. It takes some strength to find a way around it.

Lobbying by government departments and scientific research institutions is not difficult. The key lies in various committees and certain parliamentarians who need "personality".

It won’t work without overweighting.

"Optoelectronics consumes a lot of money, and the output benefits are hard to say. I personally estimate that it is not a prediction, but it is also a consensus among academia and industry. It is a long-term investment of at least seven to eight billion U.S. dollars. , can the gap be narrowed, even if there is any result, it may only take a few years, at the earliest it will take three to five years, if it is slow, it may not be accurate in ten or twenty years. "

Because he is in it, as the dean of the School of Optoelectronic Information and Computer Engineering of Songjiang University of Science and Technology, Zhuang Xueyan is responsible not only for the institute but also for the school. His academic achievements and scientific research career are stable anyway.

High pressure is a common problem among key project leaders. Academicians may not be the ones with the strongest scientific research capabilities, but they must be the ones with the most appeal in project management.

Of course, if you are a "parallel import academician", it is usually because a certain resource has been exhausted, whether it is political resources or scientific research resources.

In short, the version is wrong and the environment is out of date.

Self-aware "parallel import academicians" usually enjoy their retirement life. If they don't catch up with the good times and don't make a few big bucks, then they should come out and dance. In their later years, they can finally make a fortune and leave, reputation and so on. , it’s all rotten anyway, so of course it doesn’t matter.

"This time in the field of optoelectronic engineering, funding is mainly supported by overseas funds. The Russian Academy of Sciences may also take a stake."

"oh?"

Zhuang Xueyan was a little surprised, "Does it mean cooperative research and development?"

"You must be careful."

"That's something you can consider."

"Frank, America and the Netherlands will all get involved. There is an 'environmental protection project' with a very high profile, which can be done together. The specific funds will be set up in Labuan Island, and a project will be established in the Mediterranean." Scientific research project consulting companies cost about two billion U.S. dollars. Of course, they are not available now. They will probably be available in three or four years..."

"Wait! How many?!"

"Two billion dollars."

"..."

Zhuang Xueyan's mind was at a loss. He didn't understand, "No, this...how can there be so much money?!"

"Mr. Zhuang, does he know what the total global betting amount was in the World Cup semi-finals a while ago? I mean the semi-finals, not the World Cup itself."

"How many?"

"Of the 27 billion U.S. dollars, FIFA took away 11.2 billion, including the 'Football Emperor' who received 50 million euros in hush money."

"My motherfucker..."

"South Korea spent a lot of money to buy the semi-finals. There weren't many bookmakers that I knew about at the beginning. It doesn't matter if I tell you. It's just for fun anyway. As long as the bookmakers in England go bankrupt because of the semi-finals, they will The total compensation was 80 million pounds, with a total amount of 200 million pounds.”

"Fuck!"

Hearing this, everyone was in a trance. Zhuang Xueyan quickly ate a piece of "fragrant meat" to calm down his shock. How fucking good would it be to give him this money?

"This World Cup has also attracted interest from North American gambling tycoons, but none of them have been dismissed directly. Most of them are holding shares in London. The total amount of gambling for the next World Cup has basically been determined to be at least 60 billion U.S. dollars. Both sides of the Atlantic have been affected by this. The South Koreans stimulated a bit..."

Compared with the global market, the domestic news is just childish.

However, there is no doubt that it is impossible to liberalize the three "pornography, gambling and drugs" in China.

But why is FIFA still obsessed with it?

As the same saying goes, "taking advantage of others" will never be enough to "do it right". The serious football market is a fairly stable and high-yield industry.

The popularity of sports, the carrier "live broadcast rights" and "broadcast rights" on top of advertising media, etc., usually a contract is hundreds of millions of dollars, and the money only depends on the number of heads.

If South Asia's football foundation and infrastructure were not so poor, it would not be impossible for FIFA to lick "Body Poison Ah San".

"That is to say, in this World Cup, you also..."

"I'll just share some of the profits and make a little money, not much."

Boss Zhang said it very lightly.

However, this kind of indifference makes Zhuang Xueyan have unlimited reveries.

In fact, Zhuang Xueyan didn't know the significance of Alexei Pavlov's existence. Although he had seen him, he didn't know that this young man was completely the "deviant" special second generation ancestor in Russia.

He has effectively broken up with the Pavlov family. He himself is the goldsmith of "Volodya". The "Presidential Package" for the past two years has been completely arranged by Alexey Pavlov, and even in some cases The old debts from the "KGB" period were wiped out, and "Varodia" also helped some old friends and colleagues with some reimbursements.

Of course, there are many benefits. At this time, "Valodia" is planning to kill Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Yukos Oil Company has many shareholders outside Russia, and some of them are definitely from Central Asia. In order to minimize the adverse effects, "Valodia" needs additional funds to support his oil nationalization business.

Originally, "Valodia" could only compromise, and even if he caught the handle of "Menatep" shareholder Alexander Lebedev, he could only blackmail and then release him.

But now there is Alexei Pavlov, who constantly pays tribute to "Valodia" with money... and beautiful women.

For example, a gymnast named "Kabaeva" entered the sight of "Valodia".

In May of this year, "Trump Real Estate Company" owned by "Trump Group" was considering a spokesperson for Mozger's company, and one of the female image candidates was "Kabaeva".

Originally, Alexey Pavlov hoped that the "Chinese sugar daddy" would take a fancy to one or two of them, but gymnasts don't have big breasts...

With the funds from Pavlov, "Valodia" can do whatever he wants. At the same time, he also knows that there is a shadow behind this money, so he sent out an invitation again this year, hoping that "Respected Siegel" can participate in the military parade commemorating the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War two and a half years later.

The medals were prepared long ago, but unfortunately there was no particularly suitable awarding ceremony. "Valodia" also intended to win over Zhang Haonan. The agents on the Mozge side were not idiots. They made a general estimate of the scale of the "Shashi system" business empire and believed that it was equivalent to a medium-sized country.

In addition, most of the grassroots bureaucrats found "Siegel" in order to settle accounts. Whether from the perspective of national security or commercial profits, they should value "Siegel's" friendship.

Or assassinate him.

But Pavlov is a waste, and "Valodia" is not stupid.

Yukos, a company, owns 10% of the oil production in Russia and 18% of the oil exports. If you don't kill it as soon as possible, you won't be able to sleep peacefully in the Kremlin.

Moreover, it is really difficult to kill "Siegel". Mozge's agents have tried to get close to him, but they were all stopped.

There is no doubt that just as "Valodia" wants to award "Siegel", the Chinese government's top officials are not so naive.

In Mozge's assessment of the country's social status, "Siegel" in the business field is to China what Bill Gates is to America.

They are all very annoying, but they have to protect him, hoping that he will live a hundred years, and it would be best if he will live forever...

The troubles after death are so dreadful.

But how to say it, the funds brought by Pavlov solved too many problems for "Valodia". The charm of money made "Valodia" in turn politically support "Siegel"'s economic and trade activities in Mediterranean countries.

It is a little bit of tacit understanding. For example, in Damascus, the crude oil tankers of "Shazhou Logistics" can temporarily hire Ross's "gray animals" stationed abroad. The whole procedure is a "presidential order". No lieutenant general or admiral can do anything. "Gray animals" are born "masochists" and are particularly eager for a strong man to beat "them" hard.

So although Zhang Haonan and "Valodia" have not met directly so far, the cooperation is actually quite deep.

This kind of convenience is reflected in investment, that is, many national-level economic and trade activities, which can eliminate unequal commercial competition by consuming the political power of Mozge.

For example, in the semi-finals, finals, "Golden Ball Award" and "Golden Boot Award" of this World Cup, South Korea taught the world a lesson. The total betting amount of 30 billion US dollars caused some medium-sized betting companies to go bankrupt directly.

And the "Lion King" took the grand prize...

It can only be said that the South Koreans need to practice more.

Of course, if Boss Zhang had taken action and directly lifted the national football team to qualify for the group stage, he would definitely have made more money.

Unfortunately, he had no interest in playing directly, and even the bald old man thought that "if you can enter the World Cup once, you can enter it again", so what else can you say? Just wait for the next time.

Next time, the "God of Wealth" will work hard to help the Chinese football team enter the quarterfinals.

But it is a pity that even if the World Cup betting amount exceeds 1 trillion RMB many years later, the "God of Wealth" will not have the opportunity to show his power.

So, if you want to make money, make it well, don't mix any emotions.

Boss Zhang just gave "Alyosha" some random pointers at the World Cup, which made "Alyosha" once doubt whether FIFA was all handled by the "Chinese Sugar Daddy".

These revenues, plus the acquisition of some regular betting companies and lottery sales systems again, should have a total income of about 3 billion US dollars in the four years until the next World Cup.

Half of them are benefits from non-commercial figures such as "Valodia", and the rest are all "Siegel", "Alyosha" and "Donald".

The golden-haired old man is determined to reopen the gambling hotel because this World Cup gave him the illusion that he was doing it again.

Of course, like "Valodia", the golden-haired old man still has some self-awareness. He actually hopes that "Respected Siegel" will go to Atlantic City, take a look around, give some advice, and then invest 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 percent...

Although Zhang Haonan couldn't come up with 200 to 300 million US dollars at this time, he still had 200 to 300 million US dollars. However, there was no need to transfer it to China for the time being. He had to wait until the State Administration of Taxation finalized the "Regulations on the Management of Duty-Free Import of Scientific Research, Technology Development and Teaching Supplies for Scientific Research Institutions and Other Scientific Research Institutions" this year before making plans.

Including the company in Labuan Island, they were all for international tax avoidance.

Although Boss Zhang never cared about taxes in China, Alexei Pavlov and the Trump family still cared about this little money.

At this time, when he told Zhuang Xueyan about 2 billion US dollars, Zhang Haonan didn't mean to brag at all. It was just not at the moment, and it would take a long time between two World Cups.

But even so, it was still too much beyond Zhuang Xueyan's imagination.

He thought, he would go to the Northeast to get some money. With the character of the Northeast comrades, there would be at least 50 million or 100 million.

With this little money, things could be done.

I never expected that my "belief" in the "God of Wealth"... was a little unsteady, not pious, and not profound!

Zhuang Xueyan was going to examine himself severely at that time. How could he make such a low-level mistake!

"Well..."

After organizing his words, Zhuang Xueyan licked the soup on his lips and asked carefully, "An Duxiu... does he know about this?"
