Chapter 994

It's embarrassing to be fascinated by the atmosphere.

Time and space seem to be frozen, stiff and terrible.

Lawrence's handsome face was stiff, and his smile was as frozen as if it had been sprinkled with formalin.

But it is admirable that, even so, he still maintained the demeanor of an aristocrat, took back his outstretched right hand rigidly, and sat back like a robot.

Time passes by minute by second.

The awkward air can't be twisted on the dining table.

It was not until the waiter brought the dish that the stiffness in the air was broken.

Lawrence gave a dry cough, and continued, with a slight expression of displeasure.

"May I know why? I think my proposal is perfect. "

"That's just for you," said Lu in a calm voice. "I've always believed that there is no free lunch in the world. We accept your investment, which means we have to give up part of the equity, am I right? "

Lawrence: "of course As you said, there is no free lunch in the world, but in addition to free lunch, there is also a word of win-win! We can create more wealth through cooperation! "

Lu Zhou: "yes, then the star technology after our win-win situation is my star technology or your star technology? Are they Chinese high-tech enterprises or American high-tech enterprises

"Here It depends on how you define it. "After a moment's hesitation, Lawrence opened his mouth and continued," what's more, who really matters? The star technology you have now may only be worth $100 billion. I'll raise $100 billion for you. Maybe your equity may be less, but in fact, your wealth is more than the original $100 billion, even because our cooperation has doubled several times - "br >

" I think it's very important to whom it belongs. "

Looking at Lawrence, who was full of disapproval, he interrupted his boat and continued in a serious tone.

"For me, it's really important to be able to do the research that I like at will, which is also my original intention of founding Star Technology and Jinling higher research institute. In contrast, more money and less money are of secondary importance, so you and I say that we can turn 100 billion into 200 billion, or even double it What does it have to do with me? "

The atmosphere at the dinner table fell into a stalemate.

After the silence lasted for a long time, Lawrence's shoulder suddenly relaxed and leaned back on the chair.

"I see I thought we could cooperate with each other, but I think I think too much on my own. "

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I always thought that you Americans like to do things according to the rules. Normally, you shouldn't go to the CEO of Star Technology to talk about it?"

Lawrence smiled faintly. "Rules? You will come up with the idea that you haven't been in the United States long enough to really understand the country. "

Lu Zhou: "Oh?"

"More or less, the merchant ships going to and from the golden channel will visit pirates when necessary, whether for national or private interests. The colonists who set foot on the American continent are in most cases' good citizens' who obey the law, but only if it is more beneficial to them. If it's profitable, they don't mind visiting bandits and plundering the nearby aborigines to increase their wealth rapidly. "

"There is a manuscript about John Adams in the flint library, which details his research on this cultural phenomenon. In my opinion, it is because he knows so much about the Americans and can see the "degenerate torrent" hidden behind the colonial culture that he knows how to restrain those who do not obey the discipline, or even become the president. "

"As for the core of this cultural phenomenon, I call it pirate culture."

Looking at Lawrence with a light smile on his face, the boat raised its eyebrows slightly.

"Unexpected."

"What happened?"

"In the history of Chinese civilization, we usually call pirates by derogatory terms such as" Pirates "or" Pirates " In our culture, piracy is not something to show off, or to say glorious career. "

"It is also disgraceful in our culture. If it is found to be a pirate, it will be hanged on the port by people, dried up in the sun, and let crows peck But if it's found out, "Lawrence continued, shrugging his shoulders," a hundred percent profit and a hundred percent capital is just a boat, enough for people to do a lot of things. "

Looking at the silent boat, Lawrence stood up gently with his hands on the table.

"Having said so much, I just want to answer your question. In order to achieve the goal, pirates are unscrupulous. I don't want to be the enemy of you very much. I don't even want to be a chess player, but There is an invisible potential in the world, which is influenced by many factors. "

"It's like the gravity that pulls us back to the ground, continues the inertia of classical movement, and makes history return to its original position, which can't be stopped by one person or one enterprise, or even the country, but you can survive by following the trend, or even be rewarded by history. Do you understand what I mean?"Lu Zhou: "I don't understand. I believe in science. I don't believe in metaphysics."

Except for the lottery.

Lawrence: "well, just as I'm talking nonsense Do you really stop thinking about it? "

"No need."

"That's a pity," Lawrence sighed softly. "Maybe next time, you need to face not just a small role like Exxon Mobil and Tesla, but a power that even me will feel vexed."

"Is it?"

The boat smiled faintly.

"I'll see."

……

In the end, Lawrence left without even finishing his meal.

Although he said he was full, according to the observation of the boat, he didn't move the tableware at all.

But to be honest, the taste of this restaurant is really good. He will probably come again several times if there is no accident.

Slowly finish the meal, just half an hour after Lawrence left, the boat also left the restaurant and went to the car parked at the door.

Just when he opened the door and got on the bus, Wang Peng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, just made a phone call and put his mobile phone back into his pocket.

"Where to?"

"Go straight back to Zhongshan International."

"OK."

The car is on the road.

Leaning on the seat of the boat, I took out my mobile phone and turned it on.

Just when he opened the list of likes and was ready to find the article that he had not read before and continue to look at what the owner of the article said, he found that the article was gone.

Eh?

Did you delete it yourself?

Damn, forget the screenshot.

Shaking his head, Lu Zhou put the matter aside and forced her to open her neck.

Just as he was about to interact with his fans for a while, an unread email alert popped up at the top of the screen.

It's actually from the International Federation of mathematicians.

At the sight of the address, Lu Zhou suddenly grew up.

In recent days, he is having a headache about whether to go or not. He sent an email from IMU. He can guess almost without reading it. He is probably urging himself to put the papers to be discussed in the 60 minute report on the conference website.

After a look at the email, Lu Zhou was wondering how to euphemistically express to the organizer. When he was not ready for the content to be reported, he suddenly froze.

Silence for a while, looked up to Wang Peng in front of the car, said Lu Zhou.

"Wang Peng."

"What's the matter?"

"In August, I may have to go to St. Petersburg."

"OK, we will help you arrange By the way, has your research on Riemann conjecture made any progress? "

"No It has nothing to do with the report. "

Wang Peng: "that is?"

Put down the mobile phone, said Lu Zhou strangely.

"Go and get the prize."
