#273 - Chapter 273 Research Institute Reconstruction Plan! Good news, Atacama Salt Flats Mine!
Countless students accused Chen Hao of calling a stag a horse (misrepresenting facts).
Xie Wu sighed inwardly.
Who couldn't this idiot provoke? He just had to provoke Chen Hao. Wasn't that courting death?
Shanghai Jiao Tong University is a top-tier institution.
How did such a stupid student get in?
No!
Stupidity is contagious.
We can't keep this kind of idiot in the school!
"You are also expelled," he said coldly.
"Ah?!"
That boy was dumbfounded: "Principal, I'm innocent! It was clearly Chen Hao who hit people, he should be expelled..."
"Get out!"
Xie Wu almost died of anger.
Expel Chen Hao?
These idiots really deserve to die!
Even last year, when Chen Hao had just entered the school, he wouldn't have been able to expel him.
From the beginning, Chen Hao was a mathematical genius.
Enough to win the Fields Medal.
What's the concept?
The Nobel Prize of the mathematical world!
Later, he realized that he had still underestimated Chen Hao.
Solving global optical problems!
Designing a 70-nanometer immersion lithography machine!
Building a group with hundreds of billions in assets!
The above achievements are enough to make the name Chen Hao dazzle the eyes of most people.
What about the result?
These are still just the surface!
He will never forget the scene that day when Chen Hao invited him to join a certain new project.
Wearing a military uniform!
Bearing the star of a general on his shoulders!
Only then did he realize how heaven-defying this young man was.
Before, he wouldn't expel Chen Hao because he cherished his talent.
Now, it's because he doesn't dare to!
...
The crowd dispersed.
Through this incident, most of the students present had already constructed the correct values.
China is clearly a strong country, why should we kowtow to foreigners?
"Boss, awesome!" Bao Siwen gave a thumbs up.
That scene just now was blood-boiling!
"Big shot, are we having a social gathering tonight?" Bai Tong was very excited.
It's easier for young couples to get closer together when they're alone.
"Actually..."
Bai Tong blushed: "I... haven't dated her privately."
"What?!" Bao Siwen's eyes widened.
The truth is.
The two of them got together through social gatherings, and after leaving each other's contact information, they have been dating via text messages.
Bai Tong is relatively shy when facing girls, and has never actively asked Zhang Yi out to this day.
Instead...
Every time, he took the opportunity to walk with her after the social gathering ended.
For Bai Tong.
Social gatherings are an opportunity to get close to Zhang Yi.
"Your progress is not good!" Bao Siwen despised this.
"You're good?"
Bai Tong was unhappy: "Don't you like Senior Qin? Have you touched one of her fingers?"
"..."
Bao Siwen broke down on the spot.
Isn't this twisting the knife?
It's stabbing the lungs!
"Tomorrow night, then."
Chen Hao patted Bai Tong on the shoulder: "Qingmo isn't coming to school today."
His wife is a local, so she doesn't need to come to school in advance.
His wife is not here.
He is too lazy to organize any social gatherings.
"Boss, then let's go chop Legend?"
Bao Siwen found an opportunity to show off: "I'm level 33! Getting the Judgment!"
In fact, the Judgment was bought with money.
There's no way.
Besides Legend, there is nothing else that he can show off to Chen Hao.
"I have something to do today, maybe next time," Chen Hao waved his hand.
According to the previous agreement, since he poached Wang Shenghong, Xie Wu must fulfill his promise.
That's right!
Xie Wu approved a small building for him.
The location is relatively remote. It was used as an archive room many years ago, and has been idle ever since a new archive room was built.
Bao Siwen and Bai Tong rarely have time to chop Legend.
After separating.
Chen Hao went straight to the small building.
...
A total of two floors.
It's probably more than 300 square meters.
But the above-ground part is not suitable for research and development.
It must be secret!
Absolutely no leakage!
"Director Chen," a voice came from behind.
It was Lu Qingshan.
Earlier, after Xie Wu fulfilled his promise, Chen Hao called Lu Qingshan and asked him to come to the school.
"Brother Lu."
Chen Hao turned around and suddenly said, "The military has looked for you, right?"
Lu Qingshan's expression froze.
Immediately, he nodded: "It's my former old regimental commander—Director Chen! The old regimental commander only sent weapons and did not give me any other tasks. You can rest assured about this."
He is not stupid.
He vaguely guessed that Chen Hao had concerns in his heart.
"What if he gives you a task?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"What task are you talking about?"
"For example, asking you to monitor me."
"I will not obey!"
Lu Qingshan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Unless..."
"Unless what?" Chen Hao pressed.
"Unless Director Chen has done something that endangers the country!"
Retiring without losing integrity!
Whenever national interests are harmed, as a former soldier of the Republic, he will never sit idly by.
Apart from that, it is impossible for him to betray the benefactor who saved his mother for others!
"I want to transform this building."
Chen Hao took out the drawings.
There was no one nearby, but he still lowered his voice: "You go find a few subordinates who can be absolutely trusted, dig a basement according to the drawings, and..."
The above-ground part of this small building cannot be used as a research and development area.
We need to open up underground space!
Not only that.
After Lu Qingshan finishes digging, he will also install a series of mechanisms to make the underground research institute as solid as a rock.
It cannot be infiltrated through conventional means.
Once violently invaded, then...
Boom!
"Pay attention!"
Lu Qingshan took the order, and Chen Hao added: "The required materials and the excavated soil must be transported secretly—the project will be carried out at night to avoid being discovered!"
"Okay!"
Lu Qingshan's expression was rarely solemn.
He didn't know why Chen Hao was so solemn. All he had to do was execute!
...
Lu Qingshan left.
Chen Hao was preparing to go out of the school.
Tomorrow is the official start of school, and he wants to prepare some surprises.
Before he left the school gate, his phone rang.
"Brother Hao, it's done!" It was Fatty's overseas call.
"It's done?"
"Yes!"
Fatty said excitedly: "The Atacama Salt Flat Mine!"
Chen Hao was overjoyed.
Chile's lithium reserves account for 36% of the world's total reserves.
Lithium ore is distributed in different regions.
The reserves are also different.
Before leaving, Chen Hao told Fatty about several ore veins, meaning that it would be best to buy them all.
Now, the one that has been negotiated is the ore vein with the largest reserves in the entire territory of Chile—the Atacama Salt Flat Mine!
Currently, the demand for lithium is not too high.
Chile's exploration level is also limited.
To put it bluntly.
The Chilean government does not fully understand the reserves of the Atacama Salt Flat Mine.
What does it mean?
The price will not be too high!
"How much money?" he quickly asked.
"There are two ways to cooperate."
Fatty quickly replied: "If it is a direct buyout, the asking price is 12 billion US dollars."
Direct buyout.
Buyers can mine however they want.
Another option is to build a factory.
And promise to provide at least 10,000 jobs, and ensure that as long as the factory is in operation, the number of local jobs cannot be reduced.
The latter method will drive the upstream and downstream industrial chains of the local area and continue to create value.
In addition, there are taxes!
If you choose the second method of cooperation, the price offered by the other party is 7 billion US dollars.
"Brother Hao, I have paid a deposit of 100 million US dollars, and the other party will give us half a month to consider," Fatty added.
"Okay, I got it."
"You must not exceed half a month, otherwise... the deposit will not be refunded!"
"Understood."
After Chen Hao hung up the phone, he immediately frowned.
