Chapter 125: Cheating

"Mr. Cheng, this is not three hundred and thirty thousand, it's three hundred million! I'm not worth this much even if you sell me. I'm just a housekeeper with a key. I have to make sure of it, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my superiors, right?" Lin Zheming smiled bitterly. These big guys just want money when they open their mouths.

He has to be responsible for national funding, so he has to confirm and fully verify the process before he can allocate the funds!

"Then hurry up, hurry up, we're waiting for the rice to cook, T4 titanium-aluminum alloy, but it has burned up all the remaining research funds here, and all the prepared materials were taken away by that kid Lu Xiao. My material research institute is now in a state of suspension!" If you ask for funds from the higher-ups, you have to show pity.

No matter how straightforward Cheng Huanan is, he has gained a lot of experience in asking for funding.

He was not lying. The laboratory's funding all came from a designated source. As the matter was of great importance, he temporarily mobilized all the resources of the institute to carry out the repeated preparation of T4, which really exhausted all his savings.

Without additional funds, he really couldn't move forward with his current project. Material research and development has always been a big expense.

Whether there are dates or not, you should always take advantage of this opportunity to try your best.

Lin Zheming hadn't gotten the money for Wu Tong yet, and seeing that Cheng Lao had to pay for it, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. However, this was a problem that had to be faced.

"Okay, Mr. Cheng, we will arrange a meeting right away to discuss and confirm the project. Your funding will be supplemented from our project funding when the time comes!"

Just ask whoever spent the money to make up for it. He is not a cash cow, so no one should take advantage of him.

"Boss Lin, you are too stingy. It's not fair for a teacher like me to deprive my child of his funding!" Cheng Huanan glared. He was waiting for Lin Zheming's call, not to make him do something immoral. "You can handle the funding for my laboratory. Anyway, without funding, it will definitely stop. I can't do anything if the progress of any project is delayed!"

Who doesn't know how to cheat? The old man has never lost to anyone.

"And my child has made such a great contribution to the country. He has to keep his name secret and not receive any public honors. Shouldn't he receive any other rewards in kind? It's fine if an old man like me feels wronged, but the child is still young. I can't let him feel wronged no matter what I do!"

After saying that, Cheng Huanan hung up the phone.

The crying child gets candy. He would never let his little apprentice suffer the same pain he had suffered due to his poor tongue. As an old man, he helped her through all the ups and downs, allowing her to grow into a towering tree in peace.

"Alas... this old Cheng!" Lin Zheming glanced at the disconnected phone, sighed heavily, and his head hurt even more. This old Cheng, he was so reckless, he really couldn't do anything about it! He was too good at taking the pulse, and there was really a delay. In fact, it was really his fault!

"Please come to the meeting, Academician Lu, Engineer Zhan, and Academician Zhang!"

An hour later, the Aviation Group's high-level meeting began. In addition to the Aviation Group's core senior executives, the participants also included several academicians in the field of materials, chief engineers in the aviation field...

"General Manager Lin, we are busy right now. Why are you so anxious to call this meeting?" Chief Engineer Zhan is an impatient person. He is the leader in the bomber field and is always in a hurry.

Lin Zheming didn't say anything, but passed the printed documents in front of him one by one. "Before we talk, according to the confidentiality regulations, let's all sign the confidentiality agreement first!"

"Confidentiality agreement?" Upon hearing these words, everyone present immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. No one said any more nonsense and the agreement was signed quickly. We are all veteran revolutionaries, so who doesn't have some awareness?

"Has any colleague from the material supplier made a major breakthrough?" After the agreement was signed, Academician Lu couldn't help but ask curiously. It wasn't a major matter, and with their confidentiality authority, there was no need to make such a big deal about it.

"We have invited everyone here today to discuss the review of the establishment of a national major key subject and the approval of its funding. For details, please let Mr. Cheng explain it!" Lin Zheming started and gestured to Cheng Huanan, who had rushed over and sat in the back seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Since it was you who asked for the project and the funding, it is your turn to step in and convince these bigwigs to review it. No matter how much you strive for, he, as the key manager, will approve the full amount.

"Hey? Lao Cheng, is this related to you? What big satellite did you make? Tell us and we will help you check it. No wonder you huddled down to rest as soon as you arrived. I thought you were staying up late to catch up with the progress. So, you are confident and calm, right?" Everyone looked at Lao Cheng who finally sat up straight, and Engineer Zhan raised his eyebrows.

It's a major national key project, and the funding should be in billions. What did Lao Cheng do this time? Polymers? Why does he need such a huge amount of funding at once?

Aviation Group is rich, but it is not without limits. There are many sectors involved, each of which requires a lot of funding, and they are all big spenders, so everyone wants it.

Giving Lao Cheng such a large amount of money for approval means that the funding for the rest of them this year will be reduced! However, Lao Lin has always been a man who doesn't show his hand until he sees the rabbit. The fact that he can host this meeting proves that there must be something to discuss on the table.

"Wait, let me tinker with the projector connection first!" Cheng Huanan took out the USB flash drive he carried with him. This new gadget was something he could use to keep up with the times, or he was too skilled at it. Usually, he would have an assistant or a student to help him. However, with today's meeting standards, ordinary assistants and students could not participate, so he had to tinker with it slowly by himself.

Although Cheng Huanan was not very skilled, he was not incompetent. An anxious Engineer Zhan stood up to help him. Soon, the projector in the conference room turned on, and the name, properties, and some test data of T4 titanium-aluminum alloy that did not involve specific proportions and preparation processes appeared in front of everyone.

“Haha…” All the participants who saw the data clearly took a deep breath. This Mr. Cheng really created a huge satellite that would shake the world!

"Old Cheng, is this data true? It's not fake, right?" Engineer Zhan opened his mouth in disbelief. Titanium-aluminum alloy, tensile resistance has quadrupled to 1470MPa, and high temperature test performance is even better? This is a joke, right? "It's not time to make a great leap forward now, we have to be realistic!"

This is the voice of almost all the big guys present who are familiar with the materials industry. It’s not that they suspect Cheng Lao of being a fraud, but the data is really too shocking, so shocking that it is hard to believe.

They even suspected that they had collectively traveled through time and now came to N years later. Such high-performance aviation materials directly opened a new precedent for titanium-aluminum alloys!

"Fuck you, Zhan Cannon. When have I ever played tricks?" Cheng rolled his eyes at Engineer Zhan. "Once the materials are produced, I'll hold your request form and give it to you in the end. How about that?"

Let you blow the cannon!
