Chapter 918 Give Me a Reason to Take Risks
Although Wu Tao agreed to this easily, when it came time for Gu Xueli to make the decision, he hesitated.
"Xiao Tao, do you know that everything involving chips is not a trivial matter. It requires not a small amount of funds! And let's not say whether this matter can be accomplished, even if it is accomplished, no one can predict it. How long will the vitality of the technology be enough to recover the research and development costs? After all, this is an unprecedented first in China!"
Seeing that Academician Lao Gu was a little excited, Wu Tao quickly pressed his hands and said, "Grandpa, there is always a time for everything! I will just use the money to go on a journey, don't worry about the profit or loss."
"This..." Gu Xueli put down his chopsticks and became speechless. He is not someone who has never seen big money. The National Natural Science Foundation, the Torch Program, and the 863 Project all have tens of millions or more than 100 million.
But usually, these national-level projects require layer upon layer of approvals, and many universities come together to share the cake. It seems that the pressure is not that great.
But now that a sum of more than 100 million yuan is really going to fall into his hands, it's a bit hot to think about.
What's more, this fund is not just over 100 million, it may even reach 1 billion, and more.
Just when Lao Gu was hesitating, Gu Fei couldn't stand it anymore. After all, he is now worth hundreds of millions, and he is indeed better than me when it comes to money. Besides, he has a strong foundation in Wu Tao and knows something about it.
So when I saw my father being so indecisive, I immediately became anxious and couldn't stand it anymore.
"Dad, don't worry! Xiaotao is worth hundreds of billions now, so it's just a piece of cake for him to work on a project with you. Besides, don't you understand what he does? He will do things at a loss. What?"
What Gu Fei said really touched Lao Gu's guard and gave him a reason to take risks. After all, trusting others means trusting yourself. But looking back, An Rong was unhappy.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this!"
Usually when his niece acts like a spoiled child, Gu Fei has to give in to her politeness. But today, he picked up a peanut, chewed it loudly and said, "Rongrong, don't do this with your uncle! Don't think I don't know. The size of the capital he is managing for you now will be over soon." It’s more than my little fuss!”
Then, after wiping his nose, Gu Fei even felt a little aggrieved, "I think back then, ah... I was so majestic. But in the end, in the end, I have become the least able to show off my wealth..."
As a result, Gu Fei was so aggrieved. Gu Xueli raised his hand and thought, "You yourself have done a bad job, now you can still be justified in your misfortune?"
An Rong put away her pitiful expression, stuck out her sweet tongue, and winked secretly at Gu Fei, who was covering his head in pain.
Only Yin Wenfang looked after this precious little son, stopped her wife's harsh arm and said, "Aren't you happy that my son is crying?"
With one word, Gu Xueli was lifted up in the air, unable to move up or down.
However, Wu Tao took the opportunity to raise a glass and said to Gu Xueli, "Well, grandpa, our matter is settled. We will discuss the specific content later."
Gu Xueli hummed and continued eating uncontrollably.
Gu Fei felt excited, "Rong Rong, what projects do you have in mind, please tell me..."
When Wu Tao took An Rong away from the Xuefu Community, he couldn't stop mumbling along the way: "Why do I always feel that my uncle has taken advantage of this cooperation?"
That serious look made Wu Tao both funny and helpless.
"What do you care about with Brother Fei? What does it matter if he has more or less? He is your uncle after all. Don't you have your grandparents behind you?"
An Rong waved her hands indiscriminately, "That's not what I meant! I just feel that I am a bit unwilling to lose to a veteran like my uncle, who came from Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management."
Wu Tao opened his eyes and nodded, "Yes, Brother Fei does have a lot of experience in society. You can learn from him on this!"
At the same time, Xuefu Community.
Gu Xueli stopped his son, who was about to go out for a walk after dinner, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit there, I have something to ask you."
Gu Fei sat down carelessly, holding a toothpick in his mouth and said, "What's the matter, Dad, I have something else to do here."
Yin Wenfang brought over a fruit plate, patted her son's knee and said, "Be patient, it's rare for your father to talk to you. After you two have finished chatting, my mother will ask you how your relationship with the girl is going." "
As soon as he heard the topic of my mother, Gu Fei immediately became more accustomed to the topic of his father.
"Just tell me, can Xiao Tao really not care about money now and spend a lot of money on an unknown field?"
Speaking of this matter, Gu Fei immediately put aside his careless attitude and said, "Dad, at this level, he is not worried about having too much money, but worrying about having nowhere to spend the money!"
"...Hasn't he already invested in chip design and research and development? It is said that hundreds of millions of funds have been poured into it without even blinking an eye. Newspapers have openly and covertly undermined him, saying that it was a mistake for him to invest in the chip field, but People don’t care, they still do what they say!”
Gu Xueli waved his hand and interrupted his son's ramblings: "Those reporters in the media don't know anything. Xiao Tao may not be wrong on this point."
"So!" Gu Fei sighed and said, "I regret it too! I think about how I always questioned his decisions at the beginning, so that in the end I held him back and didn't follow him."
"…Otherwise, by now, I should be able to chat and laugh happily with the new generation of the European and American consortium and the talkers of the Japanese consortium…"
Back at the Royal Garden Villa, An Rong got into the study and started working on her first project.
Wu Tao had nothing to do, so he grabbed a bottle of red wine from the wine rack and poured himself a glass. Ever since he came out of the Morgan family, he has really developed the habit of drinking red wine.
It's not that he likes to show off, but that he is not used to drinking plain water at such a young age. It has to have some flavor before you can drink it. In addition, this red wine has some health benefits, so I got sick of it.
But when he drinks it himself, he doesn't necessarily ask for a lot of precious wine.
So I searched around, chose the worst bottle, filled myself a glass, held it in my hand, and strolled upstairs.
Today is New Year's Day, and many companies and units are on holiday.
But there is no one at home right now. This is unscientific. Normally, apart from Shi Qianmei, who was worried about the company's business, Shi Qianxue should be there.
Climbing up the stairs and onto the terrace on the second floor, the vast lake surface and the sparkling waves immediately made people feel relaxed and happy.
The first day of the millennium is a beautiful sunny day.
Such clear water and blue sky are really refreshing to see.
At this time, I took a sip of the astringent yet sweet red wine and felt the wine beating on the buds on the tip of my tongue.
However, someone seemed to be laughing upstairs.
Looking back, I saw that on the large terrace on the third floor, Shi Qianxue was taking Tang Yan, Ding Tiantian and Chen Yue to drink wine. On the table in front of them, there were many bottles of red wine...
Oh my god!
