Li Mingshi came to Nanzhou for inspection and research, and took advantage of the establishment of CQ in Nanzhou to carry out industry-university-research cooperation with USTC. Cheng Ran was certainly not a sucker. The popularity of Lingyu games and the smooth flow of channels boosted CQ's cash flow, but in fact, Li Mingshi's CQ account did not have 80 million yuan in it.
The total profit of CQ this year is about 30 million. Li Mingshi's claim of 80 million is actually just bluffing.
But the money itself will be invested in batches after the actual establishment of cooperation, so it can be digested with this pie in hand, so it's no big deal.
What's more, Cheng Ran would never let the money fall into the hands of USTC. In the end, he would still be in charge of the operation. Moreover, in this way, he also earned the reputation of the laboratory and official capital.
Li Jingping and Zhang Songnian both boarded the boat.
In contrast to this, after the results are transformed, USTC will be given a 10% share according to the situation, and the University of Science and Technology will share the timing of applying for national key projects based on major industrial breakthroughs, which is also the reason why USTC is willing to do so.
The right to speak at HKUST is the driving force for establishing a presence in the academic and industrial fields after the results are produced. Without the active participation of HKUST, the transformation of the results after they are produced, the difficulty of promotion, and the resistance will all increase greatly. Therefore, management fees, the share of results transformation, and investment in other projects must all be given to HKUST in exchange for returns.
But no matter what, the process and results of today's battle were extremely nerve-wracking in the eyes of the people from HKUST present, and the result was even more eye-opening for them.
The news that CQ's president Li Mingshi came to HKUST had just started to spread, but today's event of the city leaders and the president of an Internet company conducting a research and inspection quickly spread.
Because although the leaders were accompanied on the investigation by senior school leaders, there is actually no impenetrable wall. The leaders visited research centers, institutes and other relevant units of the university. The leaders and team executors of these units had already established contact with the front through their own connections. After all, the content discussed after today's investigation is the focus of concern to all parties. Although they are not just waiting for the rice to be cooked, it is related to funding and support, so they still have to pay some attention to it.
However, who would have known that the news coming back from the front would actually be explosive news.
"The team led by Cheng Ran, a student from the School of Computer Science, was chosen by CQ Company, which intends to invest over 100 million yuan in four years to build a laboratory together. Vice President Huang failed to win the funding allocation. Huang couldn't even get control from a student! He was completely frustrated!"
"It is said that at the meeting, it was clear that the team and the president of CQ had reached a deep understanding with each other. HKUST was very passive and had few options. Either it recognized the relative independence of Cheng Ran's team, and HKUST could still get the laboratory and the share of the results transformation. Otherwise, Cheng Ran's team would be completely independent and cut ties with HKUST, which would mean there would be no hope at all."
"Is Cheng Ran's team really that valuable? What on earth did they do?"
“It’s not about what you do, but what you do with the company and what others see in them…”
"The intention fee is too high. Let's see if we can get it first. Why is a team of students worth so much? What remarkable research and development have they done and what scientific and technological achievements have they achieved?"
"Come on, stop being jealous. The Internet is an emerging industry that is developing rapidly all over the world. The relevant knowledge and skills are constantly evolving. This is why the existing academic stratification has been broken. What's more, the CEO of a famous Internet company has a better vision than you? He spent so much money on the Hope Project because he thought it was too much money? The strategic department of such a company must have made detailed plans... Some scientific and technological values are very important to the development of the industry, and they may be born from such a team..."
…
In the Youth League Office, Jia Zhengsheng, the deputy secretary of the Youth League, was sorting out reports and materials with the students from the Student Union when another Youth League teacher Liang Kun walked in. The Youth League Office had two people sharing an office. Liang Kun and Jia Zhengsheng worked together. When he saw many students in the office, he looked up and called out "Teacher Liang". Liang Kun smiled and said, "Zhang Jing, come and help Teacher Jia too."
Zhang Jing was also one of the people who organized the data, and she smiled at Liang Kun.
Liang Kun didn't care about anything else and pointed directly outside, saying, "You don't know what happened at the city leaders' research meeting today. Cheng Ran, who led the Tianxing Society team, was summoned today. Guess what? Some time ago, there was a rumor that their team was audited for taking private work from outsiders. It turned out that they were doing projects for CQ Company. Now the CEO of CQ Company has reached a big project with USTC today. It is said that tens of millions of projects will be handed over to this team in the future! This matter has spread to the research center... How many people are jealous. Our USTC team is incredible. I guess there are not many examples of this in the whole country!"
Jia Zhengsheng was stunned, still trying to digest this matter, "The city leaders conducted an investigation... Cheng Ran from Tianxing Society attended the investigation meeting?"
"When the company's intention was discussed, he went directly through the main gate and discussed it at a conference table with the mayor, CQ CEO, Principal Zhu and Principal Huang!... I just came over from the three institutes. Director Luo from the school management office who participated in the investigation said this! It should be confirmed. I guess the school will make a formal announcement in a few days!"
"So, the audit of Tianxing Society... is over?" Jia Zhengsheng asked, knowing something about the previous situation.
Liang Kun responded unhappily, "What do you think!?"
Jia Zhengsheng recalled the time when he did not approve the establishment of Tianxing Society and his teacher and vice-president Zhao Hongjian came to his office and scolded him.
At one point, Jia Zhengsheng felt a little aggrieved, and to be honest, it is unrealistic to say that you have no emotional problems at all about this matter.
We are all adults. Even if we can't bear humiliation, at least we should learn to swallow our anger and know when to keep things deep in our hearts without revealing any of our cunning.
But now when I think back to that incident, I still feel a little unwilling to accept it, thinking about why Zhao Hongjian scolded me so rudely that made him blush.
This is like coming back from the gates of hell!
Even though the student union members in the office were helping with their work, they could hear every word of the conversation between the two teachers. In fact, the student union also has this advantage. They often follow the teachers in administrative matters, and they would know in advance about the school's high-level trends, gossip, policies, etc.
The students who were busy sorting out the materials exchanged glances with each other while working. Most of them joined the student union hoping that this experience would enrich themselves and even add a touch of glory to their resumes in the future. But what they heard today suddenly made them feel alienated.
Now they are organizing files for the school Youth League Committee. If they were to switch places and appear at the conference table with city leaders and the principal and have a conversation with them... how big a distance is hidden here
A girl nudged Zhang Jing with her elbow. She remained in awe of the two Youth League teachers and whispered to Zhang Jing, "Do you know the person they are talking about?"
Zhang Jing didn't answer her but looked out the window, where there was a small lake, woods and buildings hidden in the distance.
It is half of HKUST as far as the eye can see.
The wind is howling!
