Having a Little Drink
Folk Electromagnetic Wave Scientist explained his various research results to Lin Qi very seriously for the sake of future research funding. He said a lot of professional terms that were difficult to understand, and Lin Qi couldn't understand either.
But he didn't care, he just wanted to listen, and then looked through some various handwritten documents that Folk Electromagnetic Wave Scientist took out from his worn bag.
Lin Qi is a very experienced person. He once had many friends. One of his friends was the boss of a technology company. When they were discussing business in each other's offices, they happened to meet someone from the technical department who came to report on their work.
The two people stopped talking and listened to the person from the technical department completing the report using sentences composed of words that Lin Qi couldn't even understand, which surprised him a little.
Because he knew very well that this good friend was an uneducated person, wandering around before even finishing Elementary School. However, when he listened to the reports from his subordinates, he had a calm face and nodded from time to time.
It's like... he really understands.
In the subsequent conversation, Lin Qi learned some knowledge from the uneducated boss.
Money is not the most important thing in the high-tech industry. Of course, money is indeed very important. The development of any technology is inseparable from money. But for a boss, having money does not necessarily mean having everything.
Technical people can sometimes be a bit temperamental, especially in cutting-edge technologies. There is no shortage of investors, nor are there any places willing to recruit technical talents.
When communicating with these people, you need to be careful. You must show the attitude of "I know what you are talking about" and at the same time, the attitude of "but I don't want to express my opinion now".
Don't let your subordinates look down on you, no matter from any aspect, this also applies to any industry.
In the technology industry, if subordinates look down on their bosses, it means that they will soon change jobs. There is no future in the rapidly developing technology field with a boss who is not as good as themselves.
In industries other than technology, you cannot be looked down upon by your own subordinates. This means that these subordinates may become those who in turn devour the master. The hearts of capital and those engaged in capital operations are all evil, except for Mr. Lin Qi.
This is also the reason why Lin Qi is in this state at this time, but he is much more educated than the uneducated boss. Occasionally, he can come up with some vocabulary to interrupt the ideas of citizen scientists and make him think deeply.
Of course, this is limited to dealing with these citizen scientists.
As for what to do next?
That's very simple. There is a group of people in this industry and outside the industry who also have high technical literacy, but they have no interest in studying science and technology. What they like is money, more money! When the two were halfway talking, the phone in the room rang.
Lin Qi put down the material in his hand, raised his hand and pressed it softly, "Wait a moment, I will answer the phone."
He stood up and walked to the corner and answered the phone. The call was from Mr. Truman. As soon as he picked up, his voice came from the receiver, "Are you free?"
His voice was a little impetuous, like he was losing his temper, the kind where there was no place to express his anger.
Lin Qi immediately realized that this might be related to the rumors about Mr. Truman that Carl said. He attacked those big consortiums, but he would never be easy.
It is conceivable that he made those big consortiums lose all their small and medium-sized projects, so those people would just die without doing anything?
No, it's impossible. They must have a back-up plan, and maybe the back-up plan has already worked.
Thinking of this, he immediately replied, "What happened?"
"Looking for a drink with you...", after a moment of silence, Mr. Truman gave an answer that surprised Lin Qi.
When he agreed, he also asked a question, "Do you have anyone who knows military equipment technology?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Lin Qi talked about what happened here, and Mr. Truman immediately remembered the expo they attended together before. In fact, until now, Federal has held various expos in various places every year.
People like to do these things, whether they have money or not, as long as they are happy.
It is said that some expos have evolved into a happy parade-like event, such as Bubble Car Race, which is the most obvious one.
In Federal, some cities are built on the edge of hilly areas or mountains, so the heights of some roads in the city are very different at both ends, so some people came up with some interesting projects.
They kept pouring soapy water and the like on the ground, and then some participants sat in an inflatable "car" without wheels at the highest point of the road.
Each group of three or five rushes down from a high place, and whoever crosses the line first wins.
This "exposition" has become an interesting activity, and the competition is full of fun, which has attracted a lot of people's attention.
At the last expo that he and Lin Qi attended, which was more like a garden party, Lin Qi said that he invested 10,000 yuan in a citizen scientist. He remembered this very clearly.
In Mr. Truman's view, civilian scientists cannot be called scientists. Whether it is professional knowledge or the financial, material and human resources required in the research process, they are not as good as real research institutions, and their research results are not so exciting.
However, he still made arrangements and arranged for a military person who specialized in this field to contact the Folk Electromagnetic Wave Scientist that Lin Qi was talking about.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qi returned to the sofa. Just as Folk Electromagnetic Wave Scientist was about to say something, Lin Qi waved his hand. He put away the materials on the table and said, "Don't worry, I just contacted people from the military. They are very interested in your research, but you have to be able to convince them. Do you understand what I mean?"
Folk Electromagnetic Wave Scientist didn't expect this to happen, and he suddenly became extremely excited.
If his research can be recognized by people in the military and have the opportunity to be used in the military field in the future, the suffering he has suffered over the years will be worth it.
It's not in vain that he abandoned his wife and spent his years in the mountains. His hands were shaking with excitement, "Mr. Lin Qi...Mr. Lin Qi, I don't know how to say it!"
He stretched out his two hands to shake hands with Lin Qi, but was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Lin Qi took the initiative to shake his hand.
Not long after, two cars parked outside Lin Qi's house, one behind the other, and Lin Qi also took Folk Electromagnetic Wave Scientist to greet them.
It has to be said that Mr. Truman still has a great influence in the military. Under the introduction of Lin Qi, two soldiers took over the materials of the civilian scientist and invited him to the base where he was engaged in research to talk about his invention.
In fact, the military has also been studying these things recently.
In the past, the concept of "reconnaissance" was limited to the capture of radio. If the enemy always maintains radio silence outside the visual range, or is in a place with high radio interference, targets outside the visual range will be completely lost.
Federal's military is also constantly summarizing some experience. If it can first lock the enemy beyond visual range and then launch Beyond Visual Range Attack, it will be able to firmly seize the initiative in the war.
The naval battle zone with Gefra brought many changes to Federal Military. For example, they lacked experience in large-scale group operations, they lacked experience in street fighting, and they lacked experience in attacking ports...
Now there is no way to make up for these things in a short time. The world is at peace, and you can't just find someone to chase after you.
But these problems cannot be ignored just because there is peace now, so within the military, it has been proposed to use technology and quantitative rules to fill the shortcomings of lack of experience.
This idea was quickly approved by Congress. After all, if the military wants to increase military procurement and research and development funds, the first person to benefit is Military Industrial Group. As we all know, among the members who allocate funds, Military Industrial Group people occupy the majority of seats.
Those congressmen who approved the military's plan also obtained considerable benefits for themselves. No one would be offended, so why should they refuse?
Well, it's also well known that taxpayers are not...
After watching the military men leave with Folk Electromagnetic Wave Scientist, Lin Qi looked at Mr. Truman sitting in the car. He pointed to his house, "Don't you want to have a drink together?"
Mr. Truman shook his head, "Go outside!"
It was obvious that he was in a bad mood, Lin Qi got into the car without thinking much.
Mr. Truman started the car and asked, "Is there any nice place you often go to?"
Lin Qi said an address, and soon the two of them drove to the place Lin Qi mentioned. But Mr. Truman, who was sitting in the car, looked at the luxuriously decorated sign with two red high-heeled shoes and neon lights flashing above the door, and was a little speechless.
"Is this the place you were looking for?"
His voice rose slightly.
"Strip Club?"
As he said this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He also turned off the car and took out the key, "Okay, let's go this way."
The two of them turned a blind eye to the people who got off other cars and vaguely surrounded them. Sometimes when a person has something that others cannot have, whether it is wealth, status or power, he must lose something.
It was not yet evening, and the club was not yet fully open for business, but the warm-up activities had already begun.
The two entered the club and exchanged some change from the front desk, mainly banknotes worth one, two and five yuan. These were all exchanged by Lin Qi, and he directly exchanged them for one thousand yuan.
"I haven't been to these places since I graduated from the military academy..." Mr. Truman said with emotion as he stood in the hall. He took a deep breath.
The air was filled with a very strange smell, the smell of smoke, the smell of pure color, the smell of alcohol, and a hint of excitement.
These things are mixed together, floating in the air, and are everywhere. Sometimes people use "dirty" to describe them, but sometimes people call them "desires."
