Chapter 80 Turning point! (Third update, debt repayment chapter)
Inside the office.
As the sound outside the door sounded, Zheng Zu and Xu Yun were stunned.
After a moment, unexpected expressions appeared on both of their faces.
As the Secretary-General of the New Innovation Fund of HKUST and the Academy of Sciences, Zheng Zu is naturally very familiar with the voices of the main leaders in the school. After all, he is a member of the HKUST system.
It's just that he is in charge of the economy, while Tian Liangwei and others are in charge of scientific research and teaching.
Therefore, the moment he heard these words, he locked the identity of the visitor.
As for the reason why Xu Yun was in a daze, it was actually similar to Zheng Zu.
Because this voice is so familiar to him, the two parties met once not long ago, that is
Academician Pan Jianwei!
But if I remember correctly, wasn't Academician Pan busy with the fifteen-photon experiment?
Why does he appear here suddenly? He seems to understand what is happening in the office between the lines.
Thinking of this, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Xu Yun's mind, and he subconsciously looked at Tian Liangwei:
If I remember correctly.
Not long ago, my teacher seemed to have made a phone call to an insider in the name of preventing outsiders from disturbing me.
Seeing Xu Yun looking towards him, Tian Liangwei raised his eyebrows at him mischievously, without saying a word.
Then he stood up on his own initiative and welcomed Academician Pan into the house together with Zheng Zu.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, you are a bit unkind."
As soon as he took his seat, Academician Pan pretended to blame Xu Yun:
"Obviously the Department of Physics has contributed to your research group, cooperated with this and that, and even produced research results. Oh, when you are ready to start a company to make money, you are planning to abandon me as a teacher? How can you do this? Does that make sense? ”
Hearing these words, before Xu Yun could say anything, Zheng Zu couldn't sit still:
"Academician Pan, what are you"
"What's wrong with me?"
Academician Pan gave him a strange look:
"Secretary-General Zheng, there are also achievements from the School of Physics in the research team. You are secretly working on the company now. Can't I come over and ask for an explanation?"
The appearance of Academician Pan interrupted Zheng Zu's rhythm, but as the general manager of the HKUST New Venture Fund, his experience was naturally comparable to ordinary people.
After the initial surprise, he quickly figured out some of the causes and consequences.
Although the School of Physics, the School of Life Sciences and the New Venture Fund are all units under HKUST, they are not as simple as adding up to 1, and their respective demands are also different.
For example, each college has different funding, scholarships, and faculty and staff benefits, and most of the difference comes from the companies in which the college holds shares.
As for the new venture fund, it is mainly responsible to the University of Science and Technology and the Academy of Sciences.
At the end of the day, it’s just a matter of which bag the money goes into.
If the money is distributed by the science and technology innovation fund, there is a high probability that it will not return to the college's pocket, but most of the dividends from the college's shares can be kept for your own use.
Similarly, with the money in the science and technology innovation fund's bag, Zheng Zu's degree of control will be higher - the degree of control here does not refer to corruption, but simply in a literal sense. No one in venture capital wants to think about himself. More money in your pocket.
In fact, not only HKUST, but also almost every university, after a new patent appears, the relevant colleges and school funds will do one or two.
Because it is obvious that Academician Pan was invited as a reinforcement.
However, reinforcements come from reinforcements, and Zheng Zu is still not afraid of things that are unreasonable. Even if he really gets into trouble with the school director, he will still be reasonable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown and said:
“Academician Pan, I don’t quite understand what you are saying.
Dr. Xu's results are clearly in the field of biomedicine, so why are they related to the School of Physics?
Isn't this a bit unreasonable? ”
"Why are you making trouble unreasonably?"
Academician Pan glanced at him with a smile, took out a document from his body and handed it to him:
"Look at this."
Zheng Zu took the document and looked at it for a few times, and soon felt dizzy:
"5-Epoxyoxy-1-hexadecane..Cardyne?"
Academician Pan nodded and winked at Tian Liangwei.
Tian Liangwei spread out Xu Yun's research report with a tacit understanding and found one of the pages:
"Here, Secretary-General Zheng, look at the "Report on the Activity Differences of 5-Epoxy-1-Hexadecane at Different Temperatures". They are the same substance."
Academician Pan then pointed to the official seal on the report and explained:
"During the experiment, Xiao Xu's research team discovered that 5-epoxy-1-hexadecyne has different activities at different temperatures. However, because they did not know the cause of this situation, they deliberately wrote it independently A record report was made.
This anomaly report has an enlightening impact on the lithium storage materials being studied by the Radiation Laboratory. Secretary-General Zheng, do you think Xiao Xu’s research has anything to do with the School of Physics? ”
After finishing speaking, Academician Pan paused, looked at Zheng Zu, who was not so confident, and pursued the victory:
"Secretary-General Zheng, think about it again, where is the location of Xiao Xu's practical experiment?
Building 14, East District!
If it didn't matter, would he choose Building 14 where Applied Physics is?
Of course.
If Secretary-General Zheng doesn’t believe me, then you will believe the official seal of the Tongradio Laboratory, right? ”
Academician Pan's words are nine truths and one falsehood, but they are more convincing than all the truth.
The real nature is the first half, which is the anomaly of 5-epoxy-1-hexadecene. (See Chapter 52 for details)
Xu Yun had inadvertently mentioned this anomaly during a chat with Academician Pan outside the library.
Because of photon entanglement, Academician Pan happened to be doing D-vit structural simulations during this time, so he did an experiment after going back. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly discovered that the structural properties of this carbyne are very special.
Based on this structural property, the laboratory is very likely to develop a new material with a stable structure, good conductivity, and good storage capacity for alkali metal atoms. This is one of the key research directions of the synchrotron radiation laboratory.
At the same time, this material is also a huge boost for the classical channels required for photon entanglement experiments.
Therefore, Xu Yun's discovery was a surprise for both national laboratories.
Due to a strange combination of circumstances, Xu Yun and the School of Physics collaborated on a project, so there was no problem.
As for the fake part, it’s the last sentence:
The reason why Xu Yun came to Yingwu Class 2 actually had nothing to do with the research group. It was purely because he was the teaching assistant of Yingwu Class 2.
But this matter belongs to Xu Yun's inner thoughts, and if he insists on applying it to the School of Physics, even Zheng Zu can't find any reason to refute it.
Looking at Zheng Zu who didn't know how to refute, Academician Pan smiled happily:
"Secretary-General Zheng, do you think our Institute of Physics is qualified to participate?"
Zheng Zu murmured a few times, and in the end he could only nod helplessly.
After all, in the final analysis, he is also a member of the HKUST system and needs to consider certain humanities and sophistication.
Academician Pan and Tian Liangwei are both national-level academicians. One is the executive vice president of HKUST, and the other is the dean of the School of Life Sciences.
This kind of high standard is really not seen by ordinary people.
"As for what you said about Xiao Xu having no money."
Academician Pan took out three more forms from the document bag and threw them in front of Xu Yun:
"Xiao Xu, take a look at this. If you have no problem, just sign it."
Xu Yun took it and took a look and found that "Application Form for Entrepreneurship Support from the School of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China", "Application Form for Entrepreneurship Support from the School of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China" were clearly written on it.
"Letter of Guarantee for Entrepreneurship Support Funds Convertible Debt Financing".
The contents of the first two are actually very simple.
According to the relevant provisions of the 13th Five-Year Plan and the "Independent Industry Incubation Support Regulations and Management Measures" announced by HKUST in 2015, all colleges of HKUST can provide certain interest-free loans to students for entrepreneurship.
The loan starts at 30,000 yuan and reaches a maximum of 500,000 yuan, with a period of one to five years.
At the same time, if the funds are used for the financing and investment process of a start-up company, the relevant person in charge needs to sign and assume responsibility, which is the third document.
The support funds approved by Xu Yun in the two forms were 500,000 each, which would add up to 1 million.
This part of the funds includes Xu Yun's own technology investment, even if it does not reach 40%, there will not be much difference.
Then Xu Yun took a deep breath and opened the "Responsibility Letter".
Sure enough, two names were written in the guarantor column:
Pan Jianwei, Tian Liangwei. (End of chapter)
