Inside the office.
As the sound from outside the door was heard, Zheng Zu and Xu Yun imdiately froze.
Monts later, unexpected expressions appeared on both of their faces simultaneously.
As the secretary-general of USTC and the Ke Da Innovation Fund, Zheng Zu was naturally very familiar with the voices of the main leaders within the school, after all, he himself was a mber of the USTC system.
It’s just that he was in charge of economics, while Tian Liangwei and others were responsible for scientific research and teaching.
Thus, the mont he heard this sentence, he imdiately identified the identity of the newcor.
As for Xu Yun’s daze, it was actually similar to Zheng Zu’s.
Because this voice was extrely familiar to him, they had t once not long ago, which was precisely...
Academician Pan Jianwei!
But if he rembered correctly, wasn’t Academician Pan currently busy with the fifteen-photon experint?
Why did he suddenly appear here, and he seed quite aware of what was happening in the office?
At this thought, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed Xu Yun’s mind, and he subconsciously looked towards Tian Liangwei:
If he rembered correctly.
Not long ago, his teacher seed to have made a phone call to the inside line under the pretext of preventing outsiders from disturbing.....
Seeing Xu Yun’s eyes turn towards him, Tian Liangwei mischievously raised his eyebrows at him, everything was understood without words.
Then he took the initiative to stand up and, along with Zheng Zu, welcod Academician Pan into the room.
"Xiaoxu, Xiaoxu, aren’t you being a bit unfair?"
As soon as he sat down, Academician Pan displayed a blaming attitude towards Xu Yun:
"Obviously the Physics Departnt contributed to your project group, cooperating here and there, and even produced research results, oh, but when it ca ti to start a company and make money, you plan to ditch , your teacher? How does that make sense?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yun had no chance to respond as Zheng Zu couldn’t sit still and spoke up:
"Academician Pan, you are....?"
"What about ?"
Academician Pan gave him a strange look:
"Secretary Zheng, since the project group includes results from the Physics College, now you’re secretly starting a company, isn’t it reasonable for to co over and ask for an explanation?"
Academician Pan’s appearance interrupted Zheng Zu’s pace, but as the overall head of the Ke Da Innovation Fund, he naturally had experience that was incomparable to most people.
After the initial surprise, he quickly grasped so of the cause-and-effect.
Although the Physics College, Life Science College, and the Innovation Fund all belong to USTC’s affiliated units, adding them up doesn’t simply equal the sum of their parts, and their respective demands differ.
For example, each college’s funding, scholarships, and staff welfare vary, and the vast majority of these discrepancies originate from enterprises in which the colleges have shares.
anwhile, the Innovation Fund primarily answers to USTC and the Science Institute.
It ultimately boils down to which pocket the money goes into.
If the money is distributed by the Innovation Fund, it would likely not return to the college’s pocket, but dividends from college shares can mostly be retained for their own use.
Similarly, money in the Innovation Fund’s pocket gives Zheng Zu more leeway—this leeway isn’t about corruption or anything, purely a literal sense, because in venture capitalism, no one wouldn’t want more money in their pocket.
In fact, it’s not just USTC; almost every university, upon discovering new patents, results in one or two rounds between related colleges and the university fund.
Due to this, it’s evident that Academician Pan was invited as reinforcents.
However, regardless of being reinforcents, as long as he had reason, Zheng Zu wasn’t afraid, even if it really blew up to the University Board, he would still have justification.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but frown and said:
"Academician Pan, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.
Dr. Xu’s results clearly fall under the category of biodical science, how does it relate to the Physics College?
Isn’t that a bit... a bit unreasonable?"
"How is it unreasonable?"
Academician Pan smiled, gave him a glance, took out a docunt from his body, and handed it over:
"Take a look at this."
Zheng Zu took the docunt and skimd through it, soon feeling a bit dizzy:
"5-Epoxyoctadec-1-ene?"
Academician Pan nodded, gave Tian Liangwei a suggestive look.
Tian Liangwei, in tacit understanding, unfolded Xu Yun’s research report and found one page:
"Look, Secretary Zheng, ’A Report on the Activity Differences of 5-Epoxyoctadec-1-ene at Different Temperatures,’ they are the sa substance."
Then Academician Pan pointed to the official seal on the report, explaining:
"During their experints, Xiaoxu and his project group discovered differing activities of 5-Epoxyoctadec-1-ene at different temperatures, but because they didn’t understand the reason for these differences, they specially wrote a separate record report.
This anomaly report had an inspirational impact on Tongfu Laboratory’s research on lithium-storing materials, Secretary Zheng, do you think Xu Yun’s research is related to the Physics College?"
After saying these words, Academician Pan paused, looking at Zheng Zu, whose firm stance seed to be faltering, and pursued relentlessly:
"Secretary Zheng, think again, where did Xiaoxu conduct the actual experints?
Building 14, East District!
If there were no relation, would he opt for Building 14, known for applied physics?
Of course.
If Secretary Zheng doesn’t believe my words, surely you can trust the Tongfu Laboratory’s seal, right?"
Academician Pan’s words were nine truths and one lie, making them more persuasive than complete honesty.
The truth, naturally, is the first half, which refers to the anomaly of 5-Epoxyoctadec-1-ene (see Chapter 52).
Previously, during a conversation outside the library with Academician Pan, Xu Yun had inadvertently ntioned this anomaly.
Academician Pan, because of his focus on photon entanglent, happened to be doing D-vit structure simulations during this period, and upon returning, he casually conducted an experint, unexpectedly discovering the unique structural nature of this alkyne.
Based on this structural property, the laboratory might develop a new material with stable structure, excellent conductivity, and good storage capacity for alkali tal atoms, which is one of the key research directions for the Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory.
At the sa ti, this material would be a significant boost for the classical channels needed in photon entanglent experints.
Hence, Xu Yun’s discovery was a pleasant surprise for both national laboratories.
By a twist of fate, saying that Xu Yun and the Physics College had project collaboration posed no issues.
As for the false aspect, it was the last sentence:
The reason Xu Yun approached the second class of Applied Physics actually had nothing to do with the project group; it was simply because he was a teaching assistant for the second class of Applied Physics.
But these were Xu Yun’s personal motives, and if they were imposed on the Physics College, even Zheng Zu couldn’t find a reason to refute.
Seeing Zheng Zu, unsure of where to counter, Academician Pan smiled contentedly:
"Secretary Zheng, do you think our Physics Institute qualifies to partake in this matter?"
Zheng Zu’s mouth quivered a few tis, finally nodding helplessly.
After all, when all’s said and done, he was also a mber of the USTC system, needing to consider the nuances of human relationships.
Academician Pan and Tian Liangwei were both national-level academicians; within USTC, one was the Executive Vice President, and the other was the Dean of the Life Science College.
Such high specifications were indeed rare to encounter for most people.
"As for you saying Xiaoxu has no money..."
Academician Pan again took out three forms from the docunt bag, throwing them in front of Xu Yun:
"Xiaoxu, take a look at these, and just sign if there’s no issue."
Xu Yun took a look and found they were titled "USTC Physics College Entrepreneurship Support Application Form," "USTC Life Science College Entrepreneurship Support Application Form," and...
"Entrepreneurship Support Fund Convertible Bond Financing Guarantee Responsibility Agreent."
The first two were quite simple in content.
According to the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan and the relevant clauses in USTC’s 2015 published "Self-Owned Industry Incubation Support Regulations and Managent asures," all USTC colleges could provide students with certain interest-free loans targeted for entrepreneurship.
The loan starts at 30,000 yuan, with a maximum of 500,000 yuan, and a cycle of one to five years.
Moreover, if the funds are used for the financing process of startups, it requires signing from relevant responsible persons to undertake responsibility, which is the third docunt.
The support funds approved for Xu Yun in the two forms were 500,000 yuan each, totaling exactly one million.
This portion of funds, combined with Xu Yun’s own technology shares, would account for no less than 40%, if not more.
Subsequently, Xu Yun took a deep breath and opened the "Responsibility Agreent."
As expected, in the guarantor column, two nas were flamboyantly written:
Pan Jianwei, Tian Liangwei.
.......
