After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 311 Meeting an acquaintance again
"This is an undergraduate student, but not an ordinary undergraduate student."

Tan Mingliang gave his explanation with a smile.

Professor Gao Xiangwen looked suspicious, his gaze towards Zhou Haoran filled with uncertainty.

Tan Mingliang said, "He was recently selected for the school's textbook editorial board. If all goes well, he will have the opportunity to join the school's academic committee within a few months."

"what?"

Gao Xiangwen was taken aback.

The academic committee of a university is the foundation of that university and its voice in the academic field.

Even Gao Xiangwen was not a member of the Fudan University Academic Committee.

“He has already published five papers in world-class journals.” Tan Mingliang felt a sense of pride. “This month, I estimate that another three or four papers will be selected for world-class journals.”

"Is it that young genius?"

Gao Xiangwen had also vaguely heard something about it.

Tan Mingliang laughed and said, "Yes, a young genius, that's him."

Zhou Haoran said dismissively, "I wouldn't call myself a genius. I just have some ideas and try my best to help people."

"Amazing! Incredible!"

Professor Gao Xiangwen's gaze turned intense as he looked at him.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Professor Gao, there are no smart card campus cards in China yet, but judging from the current situation abroad, this is definitely the trend. In the future, all universities in China will switch to smart cards. I am fighting for this project and want to make Fudan University the first in this industry."

"So that's how it is..." Gao Xiangwen narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then praised, "Fighting spirit! Remarkable!"

“From a market perspective, there is a lot of room for maneuver. As long as Fudan University takes the lead, I believe that universities across the country will be drawn to it. If we can achieve a technological breakthrough in a short period of time and realize the mass production of radio frequency chips for smart cards, it may be possible for our high-tech company to find a way to survive.”

Zhou Haoran then elaborated on this viewpoint.

We cannot conduct research and development for the sake of research and development.

The road ahead is uncertain.

Research and development should be geared towards practical applications, with a clear goal and a precise research direction to achieve greater efficiency and yield better results. Starting with collaborations with banks is too ambitious a leap.

Let's start with something simpler: develop a chip for the school's smart card!
We'll provide services for bank cards once the technology is mature enough.

Gao Xiangwen was naturally happy to oblige and tentatively asked, "How can I help?"

Zhou Haoran cleared his throat and said, "Next, I plan to report the 'Campus Card' project to the Ministry of Science and Technology, strive to apply for it to become a national project, and seek support from the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund."

"This..." Gao Xiangwen was somewhat surprised, "This must be very difficult."

Zhou Haoran asked, "Professor Gao's project, is it a national project?"

"Yes."

Gao Xiangwen nodded.

Chip engineering is of great significance. Don't be fooled by the fact that this Fudan high-tech company has only a few people and doesn't even have a proper office, only a laboratory in the Yifu Building. But this kind of project costs money like water, which cannot be supported by a single university; it must seek help from the state.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "That's perfect. Our projects have a basis for joint operation. Professor Gao, please help me draft a report, and my project can become the product of your project."

The campus card project he's working on is not just a political achievement project, a vanity project, or a model project.

It is also a significant driving force for the development of China's domestic chip industry!
With this connection, there's even more reason to approve the project.

Leave from the Yifu Building side.

Once you get to the first floor, you can hear people arguing from afar.

Zhou Haoran tried to dodge.

But the sound of them arguing seemed familiar.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an acquaintance!
"Luo Chen?"

Zhou Haoran saw Luo Chen, who was fighting against seven or eight people and whose face was flushed red.

This Luo Chen was the high school student who made pirated copies of "The Top Scholar's Handbook," and he was also admitted to Fudan University. Having shared the experience of selling books together, he naturally became friends with Dongfang Lang after enrolling, becoming his right-hand man.

"Zhou Haoran?"

Luo Chen was clearly bullied, and he looked indignant.

Zhou Haoran walked over and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Luo Chen said angrily, "These people are going too far!"

Zhou Haoran glanced at the seven or eight loud and boisterous college students, not wanting to stoop to their level. "What's going on?"

Luo Chen said angrily, "This is the classroom I found, and all the approval procedures have been completed. I want to open a coffee shop here to provide work-study opportunities for the school's impoverished students."

"Ah."

Zhou Haoran strongly approves of this campus entrepreneurship approach.

Luo Chen pointed at the people opposite him, "I finally managed to get through the logistics department, the student affairs office, and the Youth League Committee. I had to go to several departments to get most of the paperwork done. I had all the classrooms ready, and it was almost done when these guys came over, trying to take over the space."

A young man with a square face said, "You're wrong about that. Who's stealing our territory? These are school classrooms. Do you have the permits to open a coffee shop here?"

Luo Chen shouted, "It'll be done in no time!" "Heh!" The other party pulled out several documents. "See? You don't have the paperwork, but I do! Legally speaking, the school has already authorized us to use this classroom!"

Luo Chen retorted indignantly: "You're reaping the benefits!"

"Say what you want!" Another girl with a sour face stepped forward. "Just get out of the way, we still need to clean the classroom. I'm trying to reason with you now, but when Student Council President Lang comes over, you'll be in even more trouble."

Zhou Haoran basically understood what was going on. "May I take a look at your documents?"

"Look carefully!"

They were all college students, with no ulterior motives. The other party showed them all the relevant documents, including approval materials from logistics, administration, student affairs, and the college student entrepreneurship base.

Zhou Haoran looked at Luo Chen, "Are all of these correct?"

"Correct."

Luo Chen felt very aggrieved.

"Then let it go!"

Zhou Haoran felt there was no need to confront them here; the other party had all the necessary paperwork, and causing trouble wouldn't change the outcome.

"But……"

Luo Chen was unwilling to accept this.

"gone!"

Zhou Haoran pulled him away.

"Zhou Haoran, they're bullying us too much!"

Luo Chen left the Yifu Building with him, feeling a great sense of frustration.

Zhou Haoran asked, "What happened?"

Luo Chen said bitterly, "I don't know what's wrong with Dongfang, they want to open a coffee shop. They opened one near the computer building, and now they want to open another one near the Yifu Building, and they asked me to handle it. So I came to the Yifu Building to try and get a classroom, and everything was almost done, but these people came and reaped the benefits."

Zhou Haoran asked curiously, "Are they from the school's student council? How did they complete the procedures so quickly?"

"If it's just the student council, I'm not afraid."

Luo Chen sighed.

"Who is that?"

Zhou Haoran didn't understand.

Luo Chen said vaguely, "I don't know the specifics, but it seems that a teacher from the Youth League Committee named Zhang Zhiying has taken a liking to this place and wants to open a small shop here."

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was slightly taken aback. "A convenience store?"

"Who says it isn't?"

Luo Chen also thought this was absurd.

Zhou Haoran also knew some of the rules. "If you... open a coffee shop, that's considered a work-study program for college students. Even if you open a shop to do business, it's for providing service, not for making money. Opening a supermarket is different. That's a purely money-making project, and it doesn't even have the reputation of being a college student entrepreneur."

Luo Chen scoffed, "They have connections, they can do whatever they want!"

"A teacher, how dare he do this?"

Zhou Haoran found it hard to believe.

Making money by opening a small supermarket in a teaching building—that's really ruthless.

The Yifu Building is not a computer building.

The Yifu Building is a general-purpose building; students from all colleges and disciplines come here for classes, so the foot traffic is much higher than in the Computer Building. Opening a small shop here would be incredibly lucrative.

This isn't student entrepreneurship at all; it's clearly an attempt to exploit school resources to make money off students.

This is completely against school rules.

Luo Chen coldly replied, "They have connections!"

"Ok?"

“I went to the Youth League Committee several times, and that teacher named Zhang Zhiying was very arrogant. Later I heard that she was a relative of Vice Principal Zhang, who was in charge of logistics, the Youth League Committee, student affairs and so on.”

"Who?" Zhou Haoran asked in surprise, "Zhang Xuezhen?"

Luo Chen thought for a moment, then said "Oh," and "Yes, it seems to be him."

Zhou Haoran frowned. "This guy's got some bad habits!"

What else can we do?

Luo Chen sighed, his face full of bitterness.

It was originally something he had arranged.

Just when everything was finished and everything was coming to an end, someone started watching us.
