"Five trillion?" After the video conference ended, Wu Wenhua was shocked by the news that Liu Xi brought.
Logically speaking, scientific researchers were probably the group of people who didn't value money the most, because it was common for a project to burn tens of millions without a trace.
However, no matter how much he treated money, he could not remain calm in the face of five trillion!
The simplest conversion was that each experiment consumed 50 million, but 5 trillion was enough to do 100,000 such experiments!
Once a day, it could last for thousands of years!
Even Ma Yun, who wasn't interested in money, couldn't compare to this.
Five trillion yuan was distributed to every Chinese person, which was equivalent to one or even two months 'salary!
Wu Wenhua racked his brains, but he couldn't think of a way to spend all the money in a year.
Even if he had to turn the entire 171 Institute into gold, that would be enough!
Doing scientific research was indeed very expensive, but it was definitely not enough to burn through this amount of money!
"Mr. Xi, can I interview you about your feelings now?”
"Well, I didn't think about it at first. Three trillion is more than enough, but they gave me too much.”
"…" Wu Wenhua was speechless." If I can't spend all the money, can I return it?"”
"Money is only money when it's in circulation. If we don't spend it all, the money will die.”
"What do you mean?"
"I just have to spend it. I'm so worried."
Liu Xi covered his forehead and returned to his office.
Wu Wenhua looked at Liu Xi's bleak back and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.
So this was the pain of the rich.
……
Liu Xi returned to his office and quickly began to formulate a new round of plans!
With five trillion yuan behind him, he no longer had to be afraid when doing things.
First, he had to improve the welfare of all researchers. After all, everyone would have to stay in the underground facilities of Institute 171 for the next year, and they had to be compensated.
And Liu Xi's compensation was directly a subsidy of five million yuan per person. All the researchers could easily achieve financial freedom!
Some researchers were very nervous and felt that the money was too much. Even Wu Wenhua himself persuaded Liu Xi to control himself.
Everyone even signed a petition requesting for the money to be returned!
They appreciated Liu Xi's good intentions, but they also knew that Liu Xi wanted the money to build his career! How could he take this money?
If in the future, a villain took the opportunity to slander Liu Xi, he would use this matter to accuse Liu Xi of squandering state property. Could he still feel at ease with his money?
Everyone came to Liu Xi's office and begged Liu Xi to take back this subsidy!
However, Liu Xi reprimanded him with unprecedented seriousness.
"Do you think that what we did is not worth five million?
Or do you think that researchers shouldn't be rich?
Times had changed! Everyone!
If researchers couldn't be rich, who would be willing to do research in the future?
Even if you can win a temporary reputation, you will destroy the future scientific research foundation of China!
The actors read out one, two, three, four, and easily earned ten million yuan. Are the things we do not worth as much as an actress?”
Liu Xi was very sad. There were some people in this society who were jealous. They thought that scientists should be poor and criticized for wearing an expensive belt, but they turned a blind eye to the extravagance of actors.
This subtle influence even spread to the research system. Those who did things began to fear these rumors.
Therefore, Liu Xi was really angry this time.
"Everyone, please take the money back and don't mention this matter again.
If everyone is really thinking about me, please take the money well. Don't think too much and devote yourself to your work!
The value you have created cannot be measured by five million, not even by money!
What we are creating is the future of China!”
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they were even more respectful towards Liu Xi.
……
Soon, it was time for Xia country to announce the seasonal budget.
This was an international practice. In order to build the credibility of the country, the revenue and budget of each quarter had to be announced.
The relevant agencies could control the future economic direction of China from these budget and pry into the political policy of the decision-makers.
Therefore, this press conference was packed!
The second largest country in the world was about to display its new strength!
The previous budget announcements were all about livelihood projects such as education and health care. These accounted for the majority of the budget. Although they were important, it was difficult to analyze them because they accounted for a large proportion and did not fluctuate much every quarter.
Everyone was more concerned about national defense and scientific research.
This was the true fangs of this country.
The national defense budget determined how many dumplings China would produce, and the research budget represented the importance the country placed on the future!
The national defense budget was down by two percentage points compared to the previous quarter, accounting for 0.5%.
The research budget would be reduced by two percentage points, accounting for 0.2%!
"Boom!" The entire venue was in an uproar!
Everyone had the same thought in their hearts.
Xia Country had gone crazy! Break your own fangs!
However, they still restrained their urge to ask questions because there were still five percent of the budget that had not been publicized!
The spokesperson flipped another page of the script. It was obviously the most important thing!
"The controllable nuclear fusion project will increase by five percent, accounting for five percent!”
With that, the spokesperson immediately left the venue.
Everyone was shocked!
