After pouring tea for her master and performing the apprenticeship ceremony, Ning Caiwei officially became Su Tong's third apprentice.
Of course, although he was a disciple in name, Su Tong didn't pay much attention to rules. Apart from not being able to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors, he actually had very few restrictions on his disciples.
But there is still a problem. Since Ning Caiwei has become Su Tong's apprentice, she naturally has to practice with him. However, Ning Caiwei just entered Beijing University this year, so the incident conflicts with her studies.
Zhen Yixin found Su Tong and discussed with him whether Ning Caiwei could be allowed to practice while going to school.
Regarding this proposal, Su Tong refused without hesitation. Are you kidding me? With the earth's current environment comparable to the depleted spiritual energy of the Dharma Plane, it would be ridiculous to practice leisure skills in a place like Beijing with tens of millions of permanent residents.
?
"You can either let her go to school first and come to practice with me after she graduates from college, or you can let her give up her studies and stay in the villa to practice. There is no other way."
"this……"
Zhen Yixin looked embarrassed. It was certain to follow Su Tong to practice, but it was a pity to give up her studies. For a while, she couldn't help but fell into a dilemma.
"Okay, you don't have to be embarrassed." Su Tong thought for a moment: "The transportation is so convenient now. You can let Caiwei go to school from Monday to Friday and come to the villa to practice on Saturday. During this time, let her get familiar with it.
Let her make her own choice after some time."
"Okay, that's it!"
After Zhen Yixin left, Su Tong shook his head.
This is the mentality of parents. Despite what Zhen Yixin said before, families like theirs don’t need a Beijing University diploma to make ends meet, but it’s another matter when they really let their children give up their studies. After all, in
In people's traditional concept, people are inferior in everything but good at reading. This concept has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and it is difficult to change it, even for people like Zhen Yixin.
"Boss, there's someone looking for you at the door!"
As soon as Su Tong saw Zhen Yixin off, the doorman called.
More than ten minutes later, Su Tong received a group of people who came to him in the front yard.
To be precise, there were quite a few people who came to see Su Tong this time, more than a dozen of them, and they were all wearing military uniforms. The leader was a man in his forties, with a face that looked quite serious.
After the introduction, the leading soldier said to Su Tong: "Boss Su, we took the liberty to come here this time just to deal with your paint factory. I heard that you have closed the paint factory. Is that true?
"
"Yes." Su Tong nodded: "Originally, I opened that paint factory because I wanted to do something good, but I didn't expect that I didn't make much money and did a lot of trouble, so I closed it out of anger."
Everyone's mouths twitched together. Do you think a factory that can earn tens of billions a year doesn't earn much? Is it really good to forcefully pretend to be 13 like this?
"That's it, Mr. Su." Soldiers are very direct in everything they say and do, so the middle-aged man said straight to the point: "The paint produced by your factory is of great significance to our country's national defense construction. It can greatly contribute to the national defense construction of our country."
Extend the service life of the ship and reduce costs. In terms of technology, this paint is already among the best in the world.
So we hope you can continue to produce this paint and provide it to the troops. Of course, if you don’t want to continue to open the factory, you can also sell us the formula of this paint and we will give you a reasonable price."
"A reasonable price?" Su Tong's face showed an intriguing look, "Last time, a director named Tan came to me and said that he would buy my formula for one billion, and also restricted my access to foreign countries and the military.
For exports, is this the price you offer?"
"Well..."
There was a hint of embarrassment on the middle-aged soldier's face. Of course he knew about this. The director named Tan had screwed up this matter and now he has gone home to eat himself.
"Mr. Su, we are very sincere when we come here this time. This time we plan to spend 10 billion to buy your formula. Our only requirement is that you cannot leak the formula to anyone or anyone without the consent of the relevant departments.
Third party.”
"The price is the price..."
Su Tong thought for a while and felt that this price was much more reliable than the last one with the surname Tan. At least it didn't look that ugly, but...
"To be honest, you are indeed more sincere this time than the people who came last time, but unfortunately, I still can't promise you?"
"Why?" the middle-aged soldier asked in confusion: "Are you still not satisfied with the price?"
"That's not true." Su Tong shook his head and sighed softly: "In fact, the paint we produced does not have any special formula. The reason why it has such a high effect is because I know this paint very well.
A special additive has been added, and this additive is probably difficult for you to obtain."
In order to show that he was not lying, Su Tong took these people to the paint factory that had been closed for some time, entered the production workshop, and opened a barrel of additives.
"You see, it's this kind of additive. Our paint is added with this kind of thing, so its performance is so superior, and the source of this additive is actually a plant..."
Two days later, the old man named Ning in Beijing met the middle-aged officer in his office.
"Are you saying that the little guy didn't have any formula in his hands at all? The reason why the paint he produced has such superior performance is because he added an additive made from a certain plant?"
"Yes!"
"What about that plant? Did you get a sample?"
"We got it. Mr. Su was very generous and gave us several kilograms of samples. But after our investigation, we found that this is a brand-new plant that we have never seen before. After this plant is made into liquid,
Adding it to paint can have unexpected effects, and experts are now studying it."
"Brand new plant?"
The old man frowned, but he was not too surprised. Even so far, humans still dare not say that they know all the plants on the earth. According to reports, someone reports the discovery of brand-new plants every few years, so Su Tong got a
The new plants aren't too surprising.
But the old man was concerned about something else: "Can this kind of plant be grown on a large scale?"
"This is the most frustrating thing." The middle-aged soldier smiled bitterly: "After research by botanists, this plant has very high requirements on the environment, and it cannot survive in a normal environment."
The old man asked curiously: "In that case, how did that little guy get so many plants? Where do those plants grow?"
"This is also where we are confused." The middle-aged soldier sighed: "As for the location where the plant was found, he only said that it was abroad and that it had been picked. Now it is gone. As for the specific place, he didn't mention a word.
