I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 179 Mine is very big
This time, a considerable number of cities and universities from the Jianghuai Province came to Jiangning to report on the situation. In general, delegations from urban functional departments in southern Anhui and local universities in northern Anhui were the main representatives.

Twenty-two local undergraduate and vocational colleges from northern Anhui have come to the area, with a total funding gap of about 2 billion yuan, which is roughly less than 100 million yuan per local university.

The problem of unpaid wages is not limited to substitute teachers and primary and secondary school teachers; local colleges and universities are also facing similar difficulties.

Taking several local colleges and universities in northern Anhui as examples, in the past few years, there have been cases where some young teachers received only five yuan in actual salary after deductions for water, electricity and gas.

The reason is simple: once you get to university, the management is completely different from that of local primary and secondary schools. It's still the old, all-encompassing model. The intense competition we see in universities in the next few years is unlikely.

Southern Anhui is located near the Yangtze River, so local colleges and universities can manage to develop tertiary industries. In addition, they have an absolute technological advantage over village and township enterprises, so they can make money and do it in a decent way. The pressure is not as severe as in northern Anhui.

However, overall, everyone is short of funds. Even for a top-tier university like USTC, funding requires connections, and the total research funding pool won't change much. This is only because Luzhou is selling everything it owns to support them.

When research tasks are assigned, a lot of funding is fixed and cannot be touched, let alone borrowed. At this time, it is the ability to secure funding that matters.

In the past, people from Luzhou would usually go to Beijing, Luzhou, and Nanjing to solicit funds for the University of Science and Technology of China. They rarely went to Jiangning. In fact, in the whole of Jiangkou Province, Wudu and Taihu families went there more frequently. But this was mainly related to the academicians' hometowns and it was still due to personal connections.

When a large pool of funds suddenly appears in Jiangning City, it would be foolish to remain completely silent given its proximity.

In addition, the academicians who conduct research in Luzhou are also well-informed, especially those from their hometown of Taihu City. They mentioned to the state-owned assets department of Luzhou City that the goal of listing "Dog King" is to become "Stock King".

With a wise mentor pointing the way, the courage to go all in is not a question of whether one has it or not, but rather how great it is.

Meanwhile, an academician from Wudu City added that there has been a "cash crunch" in the greater Wudu area this year. Banks will continue to lend, but private lending businesses are tightening their purse strings, waiting for the "dog king" to emerge.

There are countless "Brahmins" in Chengguan Town who are planning to achieve financial freedom in one fell swoop. Almost every industrial village with a name has prepared at least 40 million yuan in cash to play the game.

In some impressive industrial villages, internal fundraising alone can exceed 500 million yuan, and in others it can even exceed 1 billion yuan.

The entire market is currently experiencing a severe shortage of funds. Even if you want to start a business, you can't borrow money from friends. Those with connections have already blocked all the government offices in the city and are just waiting to pay up.

This matter was also recorded at a small "parents' meeting" in Luzhou City, after all, these "parents' meetings" helped to bring a group of teachers from Luzhou to Xindongweigang Middle School back then.

The small "parents' association" in Luzhou City also raised some money because their children were Zhang Da'an's students. This relationship meant that they didn't need to go through the trouble of some people in Wudu City, Taihu City, and Jiangning City. They could simply register their names at "Zhuangyuanlou" or "Zhuangyuanjie".

You can obtain the right to subscribe by being an "employee".

"Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." offers 1,000 shares to eligible employees, worth about 5,000 yuan, or at most 6,000 yuan, as a benefit.

However, this operation has actually made things complicated for the province. The "state-owned investment" companies in the twelve cities have all invested a lot of money. According to the current structure, it is impossible to resolve the issue without issuing 6 billion new shares. Based on past experience, it is impossible to have a total market value of more than 200 billion yuan after listing.

I'm going crazy.

The key point is that Zhang Da'an doesn't care, it's none of his business, and he's not the one who's in a hurry.

At this moment, a classic drama unfolded in the province, with multi-party negotiations that were incredibly exciting. In Pengcheng City, thanks to Uncle Zhang, people experienced for the first time how satisfying it was to have the power to bark like dogs.

Anyway, everyone knows it's a sure thing and there's no risk of loss, so why should I get a few million fewer shares?
Forget millions, even tens of thousands of shares won't do.

The negotiations were intense, with representatives from both the capital and Shanghai coming to coordinate. This was because it wasn't just a simple matter of twelve cities spreading out like a pancake; a whole host of miscellaneous interest groups were also involved.

Then came the memorable scene: it wasn't that they wouldn't talk, but rather that they talked slowly, deliberately, thoughtfully, and in an orderly manner...

The current situation has also caused a lot of controversy. For example, has "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." not been profitable for three consecutive years?
For example, regarding your issue of a large number of employee shares, was it involved in a situation similar to "illegal fundraising" in 1946?

For example, could we spin off departments of "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." and list them in batches? The "Game Division" could easily be listed by packaging "Shenturu" and "Ango Cup". We could even seek foreign investment in the United States, where foreign investors are very interested.

The Eight Immortals crossing the sea each displayed their unique abilities, and all sorts of scenes were depicted, including those who predicted the downfall. But if you were to say that someone believed the predictions and then temporarily withdrew, it would be a case of "they leave and come back in a flash."

In light of this situation, local cities and universities in Jianghuai Province came up with a solution.

Moreover, it's a very promising approach.

Didn't you, Chief Instructor Zhang, only have priority in the commercialization of research results from the "National High Technology Research and Development Program" project with USTC?
All we want is a reputation. Even if you manage to develop "controlled nuclear fusion," the rest will belong to you, Chief Instructor Zhang.

There is no priority for commercialization of research results; the results are yours!
Of course, since we're discussing this, wouldn't it be feasible for us to take a small share as well?
One million shares after listing, if you're lucky, can be worth forty million; even if you're unlucky, it won't be less than five million.

Based on this, one can legitimately borrow money from banks and from the government.

This idea was kept secret and discussed within a small circle, with principals who had ideas sitting down to discuss it; those who didn't have ideas didn't get involved at all.

When we reported this to Jiangning City, it was an exchange between academicians, and the general direction was determined.

"Actually, if you ask me, there is still another way, it just depends on whether you are willing to take it."

"What way?"

Have you heard about the Zhang An College at Zhongwu University?

"Isn't it supposed to be a food science major?"

"Then why can't you seize the opportunity?"

A refined-looking old man, smoking a cigarette, revealed what had happened at recent meetings in Pengcheng and Jiangning, mentioning Old Chen as well. He then said, "At Beijing University of Technology, the Sino-American Business School was reported. Basically, all the conveniences previously given to American educational institutions will be doubled for 'Zhang An Education.' So theoretically, any university can co-found a 'Software College' with 'Zhang An Education.' Whether it's legitimate or not is another matter, but we can get started anyway."

“Those who commit illegal or irregular acts will be held accountable if they are investigated.”

"Then just make it legal, won't that solve the problem?"

"How to say?"

"By linking this 'Software Academy' with 'Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd.,' and developing it into an internal talent training program through corporate commissioning, is it possible to incorporate the 'Software Academy' into the company's management system with a certain amount of equity? In that case, the 'Software Academy' would be like a collective of employees, and the school could establish a collective shareholding system for the employees, except that the equity would be held by the 'Software Academy.' Of course, this is just an idea of ​​mine, and I'm not entirely sure if it will work, since I'm in the chemical engineering field."

"..."

The idea is correct, but the risk is very high, mainly because the principals who came were not principals of local colleges and universities in Jiangkou Province, but from Jianghuai Province.

One lesser-known fact is that while there are significant differences in customs and culture between the northern and southern parts of Eguchi Province, the universities there are very inclusive. This inclusiveness extends beyond admissions to include collaborations between universities.

There are virtually no two universities with "deep-seated hatred" for each other. Mutual assistance is common. Sometimes, when a university wants to upgrade its level and build an impressive laboratory, it may not be able to gather all the equipment on its own. So, multiple universities pool their resources, and it becomes impressive.

After that, it's just a matter of graduate students running around more, taking long-distance buses to do experiments, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Therefore, it is very rare for people to report each other.

However, the situation was quite different in Jianghuai Province at that time.

USTC is like a supermodel, no one can complain; if a competitor sneaks in, then sorry, only the success of a good brother can make me jealous beyond recognition.

So there's no need to think about it. If no one investigates the method proposed by the academician who works in chemical engineering, it won't be a big problem. But once it gets escalated, your "Software Engineering Institute" will be nothing more than a complete case of illegal fundraising.

However, these academicians who were conducting research in Jianghuai Province did not know one thing: Zhang Da'an would never be targeted under the pretext of "illegal fundraising".

Especially when it comes to matters involving intellectual property, things are generally going smoothly.

Moreover, Coach Zhang is very well-informed; there are some things that the academicians don't know, but he knew about last year.

In fact, the State Council is already preparing to issue regulations to clarify the ownership of intellectual property rights for national scientific research projects, which will be jointly completed by the two departments.

The most beneficial aspect of this regulation for Coach Zhang is that, except for matters involving national security, national interests, and major public interests, national intellectual property rights are granted to the research project undertaking units.

In other words, research institutions will have more opportunities and channels to raise funds in the future. However, there is a loophole here, as social sciences have also been included. This is something that Chief Instructor Zhang plans to reject at the conference next year.

However, to push forward the "amendment," a lot of time is needed for preparation in the early stages. Zhang Da'an plans to spend half a year intensely criticizing social sciences.

He can say whatever he wants.

The reason why social science projects were excluded is simple: once this regulation was introduced, a large number of MBA programs that were originally in cooperation with foreign business schools quickly expanded into humanities education.

Don't be fooled by the fact that an MBA is in management or economics and seems like a business major. In 1946, getting an MBA from a prestigious university was no easy feat.

For example, the academicians who know the exact time when this regulation was issued have access to international channels at the Sino-Dutch International Business Administration Education Center at Jiangning University.

Aside from other pathways, MBA students are generally prominent figures, at the very least department managers.

They are a kind of brand, just like the "top scorer class" of Xindongweigang Middle School, with a dozen or twenty top scorers from districts and counties in one class, which is quite impressive.

Attracting more people to study abroad will expand the scope of overseas study. For example, if you go to the Maastricht School of Management, which is in cooperation with Jiangning University, the living expenses for studying in the Netherlands at this time are about five thousand euros.

This five thousand euros is my money!!!

Head Coach Zhang would be so angry he'd wake up in a nightmare, so of course he wanted to highlight all the benefits of social sciences under this regulation, and then it would all be his.

Of course, the final result probably won't be a complete rise, but even if it's only half, that's still 2,500 euros.

What does "Several provisions on intellectual property management of research results from national scientific research programs... what does that mean?"

Old Chen came to visit, hoping that "Comrade Zhang An" would take advantage of the fact that he introduced Chen Jingxiu to work like a slave, and bring along a few more key members and elites from the provincial youth groups.

However, after arriving at "Zhang An Health" and admiring Guan Changsheng's servile manner as if he were a "Nine Thousand Years Old," Zhang Da'an, with his legs tucked between the desk, threw him a document, or rather, a set of materials, which had several seals on it.

Old Chen glanced at the seal, his face twitched, and when he opened it, he was completely bewildered.

"It's nothing, just a document that the State Council will forward tomorrow."

"..."

Wow!

With a tremor in his hand, Old Chen threw the materials away, shaking with fear.

You bastard, you're absolutely wicked!
"Old Chen, look at you, why did you throw away such a perfectly good thing? Pick it up."

"..."

Then Old Chen picked it up. His action was very ordinary, but Guan Changsheng saw a kind of elegance that he could not appreciate.

In fact, Guan Changsheng thought that if he hadn't followed the right boss, he would never have seen someone named Chen appear in front of him in his entire life.

I am nothing in his eyes.

"There are a few things in these 'Several Provisions' that you, Old Chen, are interested in discussing with your guests from Jianghuai Province. Let's do each other a favor first, otherwise by tomorrow, everyone will know about these 'Several Provisions,' and they won't be worth anything."

"This……"

“Out of two hundred people in the province, there aren’t many who are suitable to do this. Old Chen, you’re one of them. If it weren’t for the fact that I hired Chen Jingxiu at a high salary as a Level 3 lecturer in the political subject group, you wouldn’t have had this opportunity to perform.”

"..."

"You should know very well that I have no interest in rising through the ranks too quickly; I'm not going to be an official. But if you're planning to promote a couple of talented young people, you can't both be useless nobodys with no connections, can you? At the age when they should be working at the grassroots level, they should be working at the grassroots level and doing some small work for the people, right?"

"What is the key point of this regulation?"

"There are several aspects. For local universities in Jianghuai Province, firstly, the project undertaking unit can legally and independently decide to implement, license others to implement, transfer, or value as equity, and obtain corresponding benefits. You can turn to the second page; the details are there."

Zhang Da'an didn't mince words and pointed out the direction to Lao Chen: "What I want is a transfer with a profit; what they want is to decide their own valuation for investment."

Reaching out, Zhang Da'an picked up a can of ice-cold Coke and said with a smile, "As you know, 'Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd.' is currently planning to go public. Not to mention the province, all the well-informed people in the surrounding provinces and cities are eager to get involved. A few days ago, someone from Luzhou asked me if Mr. Zhang could issue 6 billion new shares. I said I wouldn't mind issuing 60 billion shares, let alone 6 billion, as long as I can appease the state-owned assets of the twelve cities in the province. It's no problem at all."

"..."

"Given everyone's current mentality of wanting to grab as much as possible, once 'Zhang Xiaobai' goes public, unless its market value reaches 240 billion, it won't be enough for them to divide. I don't care, I'm just one person, but the twelve cities are like twelve brothers. If the head of the family doesn't divide the inheritance properly, there will be conflicts, right? Besides, all twelve brothers have families to support, some even have children outside. With more people, there are more mouths to feed, and it's not easy to support everyone."

This time, the "Dog King" didn't even have a "roadshow" and very few individual shareholders were seen. The reason is simple: there's no need for a "roadshow" and no need for individual shareholders.

If it weren't for the fact that killing Zhang Da'an, this "dog king," would have been pointless, I'd rather Zhang Da'an had never even been born.

For just "Godslayer" and "Anglo Cup", the US proposal is to issue 600 million new shares at $15 per share if they are spun off.

Of course, the premise is that after being separated, everyone can make money together in the same "global village".

If your "Anglo Cup" can cooperate with "Blizzard Entertainment", then cooperating with "Wall Street" is not out of the question, right?
Moreover, we at "Wall Street" are more professional; we are a legitimate organization!

Invoices are included.

The people who initially proposed the divestiture plan were all Americans, not even of Chinese descent; they were all WASPs, not even Jewish.

These are all masters of the "Stars and Stripes," and at least for now, the Jewish "lackeys" have not yet fully climbed onto the table.

The so-called WASPs are white Anglo-Saxon Protestants who only care about table manners and not skills, and are much uglier than Jews.

It was extremely difficult to "raise the flag" and enter; Italians were equated with Black people, while Irish people were equated with Chinese people.

When Coach Zhang claimed that he wasn't responsible for the collapse of the World Trade Center Twin Towers, the internal politics were actually quite orderly. Roosevelt ended the Council of Eight, but he didn't live to see the White Lotus Rebellion. The fiscal surplus left over from the "Lackey" era quickly turned into a deficit of trillions of dollars during the White Lotus Rebellion.

Perhaps the demands of this interest group or that political group were also catalyzing this, but in fact, the direct reason for the rapid shift in finances to "robbing Peter to pay Paul" was "911".

It should be understood that "robbing Peter to pay Paul" and "living beyond one's means" are two different things.

Various interest groups need "concepts," and hyping up the concept of "a certain major Eastern power" is an extremely popular thing these days.

The reason why "Pig Farm" enjoys such a privilege on the US stock market is not because of its current good performance. What's even more outrageous is that "Pig Farm" was suspected of financial fraud last year.

Even so, the "pig farm" passed the test and continued to display its sign.

Surprisingly, "Jinbang Blog," "Shenturu," "Ange Cup," "Xiaobai Antivirus," and other programs that are far superior to "Pig Farm" all appeared in the same company.

I just wish the Pacific Ocean were this big!
There are actually many opportunities. For example, companies like HP have partnered with Xiaobai Input Method, which is a great opportunity to tell a story. If Fantasy, as a "national enterprise" of this era, were to follow suit, it would be virtually unimpeded, with marketability on both sides of the Pacific.

Unfortunately, the software technology of "Fantasy" company was unbelievably bad.

The "Xiaobai Input Method" was installed on computers manufactured by "Fantasy" Company, and the solution was handled by "Microsoft", just like the "Intelligent ABC" of yesteryear.

However, the negotiations involved are quite complex, with agreements on system versions, software versions, and so on, leaving very little room for flexibility.

The main issue is related to the numerous patents held by "Xiaobai Input Method." Microsoft wants to control various input methods that originated in English-speaking countries by obtaining the "two-way search patent" in "Xiaobai Input Method." However, the application of this patent requires "Xiaobai Input Method" to be in version 1.5 or higher.

The most bizarre thing is that during the negotiations between "Xiaobai Input Method" and companies such as "Microsoft" and "HP", a software development company in Beijing applied for the invalidation of the relevant patents of "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." Coincidentally, this company has long been a subordinate software supplier of "Fantasy" company.

This subtle struggle is nothing special; in the eyes of traditional capital like WASP, which "follow the American flag," it's even a plus, allowing them to create a false brand to coerce startups into submission.

Of course, these are startups in developing countries.

However, things obviously didn't go so smoothly. "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." had no intention of listing overseas, nor did it intend to conduct any business in the United States. In fact, the very existence of its business was not a very important matter.

The investment institutions that came into contact with "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." found that none of the tough measures they could think of were effective, even though "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." was as clean as a blank sheet of paper within the framework of the "World Trade Organization".

If the hard approach doesn't work, then try the soft approach. There are countless examples of flattery and bootlicking. There was even a case where a 1.78-meter-tall, white-haired, 18-year-old English Lolita girl was supporting a balding, greasy, nearsighted programmer in a plaid shirt in his thirties for £5,000 a month.

When it comes to "swallows," the Russians are actually beginners. The "founding fathers" of Europe are the Union Jack, whose long-standing tradition is to sleep with their wives, and to enjoy it to the fullest.

Shen Tu and his gang are completely different from the programmers in Beijing, Shanghai, and Bao'an who go straight to big companies to write code after graduating from university.

They really slept; and they really took the five thousand pounds.

However, it was approved by the boss.

Since the "princess" of the "Union Jack" likes to sell themselves so much, why shouldn't we satisfy her?

The "espionage case" cracked in Jiangning City this year was labeled as a "commercial espionage case," but since it involved foreign countries, it couldn't possibly be a simple commercial activity.

It was precisely because of this case that the cooperation between USTC and Chief Instructor Zhang on major software projects became convincing.

It's a kind of unconventional "using foreign influence to bolster one's own position," after all, my "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." was stolen by a foreign woman.

Whether it involves foreign affairs or not, I don't understand; but shooting at foreigners is definitely a given.

That son of a bitch Shentu swore he would never sleep with foreign women again. She was even more pubic hair than him, and he had to use a big clipper to groom her. That's the only thing you can use to trim a sheep.

All these events combined to elevate the "Dog King" to an unprecedented level of popularity within the private capital circles of the Yangtze River Delta region.

This is a truly powerful tech company; otherwise, why would a foreign woman come to this company to steal someone's man?

And then there's the incredibly resourceful and curious Wu Dushi, who went to the detention center to check it out. The "foreign princess" is fair-skinned, beautiful, and has white hair; she looks so pitiful just sitting there, and she's only eighteen...

In fact, Coach Zhang wanted to spread the word far and wide. With such promotional materials, why would programmers from all over the world not come?
Unfortunately, the advertising was unsuccessful, and the provincial officials in charge of the case were practically begging for Zhang, the head instructor.

The main reason is that although this "Union Jack" princess's ancestral home is England, she has lived in "New England" since childhood, and her speech does not have a proper London accent.

Furthermore, the one making the call from afar wasn't the "Empress Dowager" of the British Empire, but rather "Little Bush," who was busy bombing tents in Afghanistan.

In short, this "espionage case" has not been publicly reported through public channels; it's just that some people on forums are spreading rumors.

Some busybodies went to "Jinbang Blog" @Li Mei Tokyo Barbecue, and surprisingly found that Gou An, who has long held the right to bark, had his reputation reduced by the relevant departments after posting a blog post on his personal blog.

You've been muted!
Yes, that's childish.

Therefore, the news that "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." was seeking to go public was used to cover up the news of the "espionage case". It was precisely the news of going public that acted as "white noise", which further stimulated the enthusiasm of private capital in Jiangkou Province and surrounding provinces and cities.

The process is simple: offer your chips, impress Zhang Da'an, obtain the subscription qualification, go public, and make money.

The first step was the collaboration between USTC and Professor Zhang, and once the concept of priority in technology transfer was deconstructed, it became unstoppable.

After the "Several Provisions on the Management of Intellectual Property Rights of Research Results of National Scientific Research Programs" were introduced, Beijing and Shanghai universities were the first to be prepared, while local universities in Jianghuai Province could only be said to have stumbled upon it by chance.

After reviewing the materials, Lao Chen discovered that this "Several Provisions" still had some protection. In addition to the benefits that Zhang Da'an could obtain, it also mentioned that: under specific circumstances, the state reserves the right to use, develop, effectively utilize, and obtain benefits free of charge as needed.

With this insurance in place, a red line has been drawn, preventing certain technologies from being freely available in the civilian market.

"Mr. Zhang, this section states that, in order to address the difficulties faced by project-undertaking units in paying for intellectual property application and maintenance, the document stipulates that, with the approval of the finance department, intellectual property affairs fees can be paid from the relevant national scientific research program funds to subsidize project-undertaking units that are genuinely experiencing financial difficulties. Is there any other interpretation to this? And it seems rather ambiguous."

"Nonsense, Lao Chen, this is a regulation, not a law. Legislation requires a large-scale meeting for discussion, don't you understand?"

"..."

Old Chen thought to himself, "How could I, a cadre, not understand?"
However, he also knew that Zhang Da'an was too lazy to give him a direct answer, since such ambiguous things were just trial runs.

For something to be formalized into legally binding text, it takes time to determine what is beneficial and what has significant drawbacks.

If we're going to start by detailing every legal regulation, then we might as well just copy the US laws and regulations.

"So that means that local universities in Jianghuai Province actually have a certain degree of autonomy in handling intellectual property rights, right?"

"Are you trying to say that there will be a situation of 'loss of state-owned assets'?"

"..."

"That's not how it works, Mr. Zhang. If someone takes it too seriously, it can be quite troublesome."

"Do you know how many verbal battles I fought when I founded 'Zhang An Education'? You're often in Jiangning, so you should know. Whenever any leading figure in the education field came to criticize 'Zhang An Education' or attack my Xindongweigang Middle School, I would criticize Beijing and Shanghai."

"..."

"Got it? If anyone tries to take this too seriously, I'll criticize 'Fantasy' company and 'Zhongguancun'. That makes sense, right?"

"Reasonable."

"If it's reasonable, then there's no problem."

"Then I'll go and have a chat with the comrades in charge of education in Jianghuai Province."

"Okay, you can go ahead. Do you need me to see you off?"

"No need, no need, Mr. Zhang, please feel free to stay and rest."

"Okay, then I won't see you off. Lao Guan, you see Lao Chen off."

"Good boss."

Guan Changsheng got up and led Old Chen out. Once in the corridor, Guan Changsheng said, "Secretary Chen, why don't you eat something before you go? Since you're already here, the food in our canteen is quite good. The boss has always told us that whenever Secretary Chen comes, he's a distinguished guest and we must treat him well."

"Mr. Guan has it tough."

“I’m the boss’s dog, there’s no pressure, and the work has always been easy. Unlike before, when I had to be polite to the workers, now I can fire them whenever I want. If anyone disobeys me, I’ll deduct their wages and bonuses—all of them. If they dare to threaten to stab me to death, I’ll bring people to ransack their house first…”

"..."

Idiot.

gone!

As a normal person, Lao Chen just wants to stay away from mentally ill people.

After all, who would publicly admit that they are a dog?
Is this appropriate?

Is this the image a CEO of a large company should have?
This place is poisonous.

Old Chen didn't let things linger overnight. He led a group of talented young people to communicate with representatives from cities and universities in Jianghuai Province, and basically confirmed that the "intellectual property as equity" approach was feasible.

The rest of the time, when the "Several Provisions on the Management of Intellectual Property Rights of Research Results of National Scientific Research Projects" made the news the next day, everyone thought, what the hell do we need you, surnamed Chen, for?
The higher-ups have already given their permission, so why do they still need you to make a guarantee like you were ready to die yesterday?

But yesterday is yesterday, and today is today.

A favor owed yesterday cannot be said to be null and void today.

Of course, Old Chen didn't mention this. It was just a pre-arranged task. Instead, he had the young intellectuals organize a "School-Enterprise Cooperation Negotiation Meeting," which was quite large but an ad hoc meeting.

The event was organized by a youth group, with Lao Chen as the host, who also brought along brother units from Jianghuai Province.

At the meeting, the youth representatives of the "Zhang'an Industrial Alliance" didn't ask for much. They just wanted their friends in Jianghuai Province to help them work together to narrow the scope of their work in the social sciences.

After the matter was accomplished, "Zhang An Education" rewarded him handsomely.

Then a clever little devil from Jianghuai Province noticed the problem: the meeting was being held by the "Zhang An Industrial Alliance," but the donations were being made by "Zhang An Education."

You talk too much nonsense.

go out!

They knew Zhang Da'an had a big appetite, but it was still too much for the people of Jianghuai Province to handle.

Mine is very big, please bear with it.

If this were to be done, it would likely offend a significant number of domestic universities engaged in "international education," not to mention powerful figures.

We can't just let "Zhang An Education" eat everything, can we?

And you know what? "Zhang An Education" really coveted that 5,000 euro living expenses. Airfare, tuition, and such were just basic expenses for them.

If "Zhang An Education" doesn't have this capability, then so be it.

Now, not only does it have this capability, but it's also very significant. Not only has it partnered with the University of Porto, but it also seems to be able to connect with the University of Porto's path at Cambridge University.

This is different.

Cambridge University isn't just known for producing homosexuals and Soviet spies; its social sciences and natural sciences are both highly regarded and proven.

There is a follow-up issue here: if domestic social scientists go abroad through "Zhang An Education's" "international education business," then it can be said that their personal inclinations and social research directions are essentially under the substantial tracking and monitoring of "Zhang An Education."

This leads to another problem: whenever there is a widespread collapse of credibility among domestic social science elites, "Zhang An Education" will naturally distance itself from other "overseas returnees" and "international scholars."

The drawbacks are self-evident, while the benefits are obvious.

Once you figure it out, someone will naturally understand the value and "value" of it. This scoundrel surnamed Zhang not only made money, but also gained a bunch of "overseas retainers". When he "magically clashes" with others, he can be labeled with any kind of label, but he can never be labeled as a "foreign slave".

After the meeting, Old Chen felt extremely panicked. What if that scoundrel surnamed Zhang messed things up and put up a big-character poster about me? Wouldn't that cause an uproar?
But then I thought, they're just doing business, not politics, so it doesn't seem like a big problem.

So Old Chen didn't sleep all night; he just couldn't fall asleep.

Insomnia.

Zhang Da'an's methods were truly sinister, with one scheme leading to another, and his ambitions were not only grand, but extremely grand.

The key is that it's not afraid of being blown up at all.

Local universities in Jianghuai Province don't care about anything else right now, all they want is money.

Therefore, everyone is willing to follow "Zhang An Education" and will prioritize cooperating with "Zhang An Education" in developing "international education business".

At least make a splash domestically first. As for things abroad, if local universities have good connections with foreign universities, they can invite them over to do business together. Setting up an "international college" is nothing.

However, "diploma mills" that are only used for gilding can also become legitimate colleges with strong professional programs.

It all depends on the needs.

Just like the University of Porto, emotionally speaking, it definitely hopes that international students from "a certain major Eastern country" will come, preferably to learn how to appreciate Port wine, or to study Shakespeare or the Bible. As for Chinese international students who don't study science, technology, engineering, mathematics, etc., they are all good international students.

Unfortunately, it's hard to predict, since the "Du Xiaoshuai team" has already earned over ten million euros in the World Cup group stage with their "prediction model" run on a supercomputer.

awesome!
Mathematics is amazing!
Du Xiaoshuai never thought he was so close to winning the Fields Medal, but unfortunately his research results need to be kept secret and cannot be revealed.

In addition, due to the previous "espionage case," Du Xiaoshuai now drives a bulletproof Audi A6 and is accompanied by bodyguards.

The old man voluntarily confessed the truth, leaving the relevant departments completely bewildered...

So you're not just a mathematician, you're also a "qigong master"?

This little incident brought Du Xiaoshuai a lot of convenience. At least some of his original research was able to proceed smoothly, and he also received research funding from the Inspur Group in Jinan City for a subsystem project of a new type of supercomputer.

It was a good match for their major, but because Inspur Group specializes in supercomputing, when this project appeared in the public project list of "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd.", only the University of Porto in Portugal was originally interested in cooperating with them.

Things are different now. Two more universities have come to us for business, and we're open to discussing anything, as long as we can collaborate on supercomputing. Whether it's a "fake international college" or a "domestic international college," we don't really have any objections.

This unexpected success strengthened the resolve of the academicians in Jianghuai Province, who then told their own disciples: "When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, Zhang An will kill me if he says so."

When those "three-time champions" start criticizing, we shouldn't just sit idly by; we should criticize them too.

They have money... no, I mean, they have an enhanced international perspective.
