After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 360 Using a Shell to Lay Eggs
Zhou Haoran originally intended to use force.

That's not a smart move.

Vice Principal Zhang Xuezhen is at the department/bureau level.

If you can handle things tactfully, you absolutely shouldn't flip the table.

Unexpectedly, Vice Principal Yang was quite enthusiastic.

There might still be room for maneuver.

"Introduce the University of Tokyo's campus card system?"

Vice Principal Yang opened his eyes wide, seemingly finding it hard to believe.

Zhou Haoran went along with him, "Who says otherwise! This is a national-level scientific research project. I'll have the research results soon, and then I'd turn around and buy foreign products? That doesn't make sense."

Vice Principal Yang couldn't believe his one-sided account, saying, "There must be other factors involved."

Zhou Haoran snorted, "He's definitely trying to make money off of this!"

Principal Yang warned in a stern voice: "Don't make things up without evidence."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I haven't said that elsewhere."

"You mustn't tell anywhere!"

Vice Principal Yang felt that this kid was still too young and immature.

Zhou Haoran sighed, "I had no choice. When I applied for project funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, I promised many leaders that Fudan University could lead the digital construction of universities across the country."

"Don't rush into this."

Vice Principal Yang plans to get involved.

Zhou Haoran was delighted. "Principal, is there any way to resolve this?"

Principal Yang cautioned, "Don't act recklessly. Go back and wait for news. Your project is very important; it was mentioned at the Principal's Office meeting. If we really do need to purchase the University of Tokyo's campus card system, it will definitely be discussed at the meeting."

"This atmosphere of panic is affecting the morale of my team in the lab!"

Zhou Haoran grumbled and complained.

Young people have the privilege of being immature.

"I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Stay calm."

Vice Principal Yang was afraid that the young man's impulsiveness would cause trouble that would be difficult to handle.

"Okay, then I'll wait for news!"

Zhou Haoran didn't want to escalate the situation and earn himself a reputation for insubordination.

Things here are on hold.

First, go to the School of Humanities and apply for Professor Jiang's master's degree position.

……

The Asian financial crisis has not yet spread to China.

The housing market has not been affected yet.

However, even if a crisis occurs, it will mainly affect ordinary commercial and residential properties, with little impact on luxury homes.

Order now!
During this trip to the United States, Zhou Haoran received $500 million in service fees. Of this, $100 million went to taxes, and $100 million was used as seed money for Google.

The remaining $300 million was transferred back to China.

It was converted to domestic currency.

This terrified Qiao Suiqing.

There was an extra 2500 million yuan in the account!

"Haoran, we're perfectly fine living in the company-provided housing..."

Qiao Suiqing was terrified about buying a top-tier villa.

Zhou Haoran drove her to Pudong and said with a smile, "Sister Qingmei, we're people of status now, so our clothes, food, housing, and transportation should be of a higher standard, right?"

"too expensive."

Qiao Suiqing felt that she was just an ordinary person and could not reach that level.

"What's there to be afraid of if it's expensive? We're rich!" Even when he was dirt poor, Zhou Haoran didn't care about money. "My collaboration with Oracle isn't over yet; we still need to keep in touch via email. There's still the final payment to be made. Now that we have money, you can spend it without worry!"

Qiao Suiqing clutched her chest. "Haoran, I'm a little panicked."

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "What's the panic?"

"A house costs 1000 million!"

When Qiao Suiqing talked about this, her breathing became rapid.

"It's all small change." Zhou Haoran glanced at her and said earnestly, "Good sister, try to see things from my perspective. Auntie didn't approve of us being together at first. If we buy the best house in the harbor, I'll have more face in front of my future in-laws!"

Qiao Suiqing gave a soft "hmm," "It's too far."

In those days, seaports had not yet been fully developed.

The area around Tomson Villas is undeveloped.

It's a bit desolate.

However, it only takes 10 minutes to drive from here to Lujiazui. Half an hour is also enough to get to the TV station.

It developed within a few years.

In twenty or thirty years, it will be even more central than Xuhui District.

This is the best villa area in the entire harbor area.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "We usually live in subsidized housing, but we can come and stay for a few days on weekends and holidays. Those small houses are only 60 or 70 square meters, it's so cramped to live in them."

"Sixty or seventy square meters is considered small?"

Qiao Suiqing opened his eyes wide.

"A big villa can have a private swimming pool and a private cinema, wouldn't that be great?"

Zhou Haoran wants to buy a three-story detached villa with a total area of ​​650 square meters.

It's the most luxurious type here.

Even so, outdoor swimming pools are not suitable.

It's different in China than abroad. It's better to have a small indoor swimming pool.

Qiao Suiqing blinked, and when he heard that there was also a swimming pool, she really started to look forward to it.

The house is priced at 999 million yuan.

Discount of 42.

It just covered the deed tax.

The villa is fully furnished and ready to move in.

However, we shouldn't rush to stay.

It would be best to move in after the engagement banquet on September 1st.

Before that, let Sister Qingmei come over with her friends whenever she has time to take a look around and see if there's anything that needs to be changed or rearranged, and then spend hundreds of thousands or even millions to decorate it.

As for Zhou Haoran, he doesn't have time to manage the property.

He needs to resolve the issues at the school.

"Maybe I should just report it!"

Dongfang Lang was somewhat indignant.

Zhou Haoran shook his head, "Anonymous reporting is useless."

Dongfang Lang snorted, "I'll write hundreds or even thousands of anonymous whistleblower letters and distribute them all over the school, so that all the school leaders know that Zhang Xuezhen accepted kickbacks from Shida Computer and bypassed the bidding process to directly purchase their products!"

"If they find out, firing you would be the least of your worries!"

Zhou Haoran did not approve of this reckless and forceful approach.

“I heard that the school might be buying 1000 computers this year to expand the computer lab. Such a big order…” Dongfang Lang complained again, “If I can’t even get orders from my own school, how am I supposed to get orders from other schools?”

These days, computers are too expensive.

Most students can't afford it.

In university, if you want to use a computer, you mainly go to the school's computer lab.

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "Didn't we give you all the orders? There are several thousand units now, right?"

“Those are all orders from outside the school.” Dongfang Lang grinned from ear to ear as he mentioned this. “I have to say, you’re really something! As the campus distributor, I’ve managed to expand my business to outside the school?”

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "If you've done your job well, don't give yourself away."

Dongfang Lang laughed and said, "It's hard to expose them. Where would you even begin to investigate? None of the companies that bought the computers signed contracts with Haoqi Sunshine. Those small businesses, buying a few or even a dozen at a time, don't even have contracts."

"If you want to make this business successful, you still have to follow the proper procedures, participate in university bidding projects, and win orders by offering competitive prices."

Zhou Haoran couldn't help him with everything.

For universities like Tongji University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and East China University of Science and Technology, they still have to rely on themselves to get things running smoothly.

“The bidding process is fine, but if we fail, it’s because we’re not as skilled as them.” Dongfang Lang was mainly upset by the unfair treatment he received. “Zhang Xuezhen’s side is definitely up to something! 1000 computers, an order worth over 1000 million, and they didn’t even have a bidding process.”

"I'll deal with him, you sell your computer!"

Zhou Haoran has the ability to flip tables, but he can't.

News came that very afternoon.

He is a director in the Science and Technology Department.

女性

His surname is Yu.

I patiently explained to him why the school recently intended to introduce the University of Tokyo campus card system.

Earlier this month, Hong Kong Island returned to the embrace of the motherland.

Going forward, the frequency of interaction between Hong Kong Island and the mainland will increase significantly.

But the mainland is too poor.

There's really nothing to boast about; if we're talking about a wealthy place, the only thing we have is a seaport.

Therefore, in terms of urban exchanges, seaports have become a model base.

Fudan University also took on the task.

We need to connect with the Chinese University of Hong Kong Island to provide good service and guidance.

The so-called "cooperation" is nothing more than a demonstration of strength and proof of the motherland's power. At the same time, it's necessary to provide some assistance to universities on Hong Kong Island, to make them understand that aligning themselves with the motherland is better than aligning themselves with the British.

Therefore, the school established a special team to serve the people of Hong Kong Island.

Vice Principal Zhang Xuezhen was a member of the group.

He astutely observed that the Chinese University of Hong Kong Island lacked technological sophistication, had not introduced digital systems, and did not have a campus card system.

This is the opportunity!
Vice President Zhang Xuezhen believes that if Fudan University can provide technical assistance to help the Chinese University of Hong Kong implement its campus card project and promote the digitalization of their campus, it can greatly enhance its own position in the exchanges between the two universities.

It can also satisfy political requirements!
This is very meaningful!
We must make Hong Kong's universities feel the care from the motherland and realize the strength of the motherland's universities!
The only problem.

Fudan University itself hasn't even implemented a campus card system yet; the project is still under development and hasn't been launched. The project's top leader is a current undergraduate student… it's almost like a joke.

It’s so unreliable!
In case this project cannot be completed on time.

Or, if the project is completed but many problems are encountered during its implementation, wouldn't it be embarrassing to show this to our compatriots from Hong Kong Island?

This is an opportunity for Fudan University to showcase its strength.

We must be absolutely certain!
This led to Vice President Zhang Xuezhen contacting the University of Tokyo.

Let's use a shell to lay eggs.

Zhou Haoran was dumbfounded when he heard this reason.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell what was true and what was false.

Director Yu said sincerely, "Haoran, I hope you can understand that this is for the sake of the bigger picture."

“No…” Zhou Haoran was a little confused. “I can understand showcasing Fudan University’s strength. But buying the University of Tokyo’s campus card system, isn’t that showcasing the University of Tokyo?”

Director Yu cleared his throat and slowly said, "It's like this, the University of Tokyo's campus card has been in operation for more than two years and has a lot of mature experience. We can take it and do some disguise, saying that it is a product developed by your laboratory, independently developed by Fudan University, and present it to the people of Hong Kong."

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was stunned.

What's the situation?
Is there a misunderstanding about Vice Principal Zhang Xuezhen?
Was he trying to help?
