Chapter 23
Chapter 23 — After I Resigned, the Whole Academic World Upraised
With real strength. With undeniable results. Before that sword. Any doubts. All slander. They all become weak and meaningless. That afternoon. Mr. Tran from the Ministry of Science and Technology personally came to the research institute. Just walked in the door. He hugged me tightly.
“Hua Tinh!”
"Good job!"
“You brought us a big surprise again.”
“Reports from the Aerospace Engine Corporation and the Deep Sea Laboratory have been delivered to the desks of senior leaders.”
“The leaders are very satisfied.”
“Personally criticize eight words.”
He stopped. Each word rang out with enthusiasm.
"The country's weight is important."
“Full force guaranteed.”
I tried to control the emotions rising in my heart.
“Mr. Tran.”
“What about Academician Cao Thien Thanh?”
Mr. Tran smiled coldly.
“He can't even take care of himself right now.”
“The investigation team of the Disciplinary Committee has officially entered his research institute since this morning.”
“Online posts are just an appetizer.”
“What we have in our hands is much more than that.”
“So many that it was enough for him to lose his academic title.”
“The poisonous tumor of this bygone era.”
“It's time to be eliminated.”
I really breathed a sigh of relief. Weeds must be uprooted. Want to end a war. It cannot leave behind any consequences. Mr. Tran looked at me for a moment then changed the subject.
“And the matter of Long Hon Capital.”
His eyes became full of meaning.
“We also investigated.”
“The platform is very clean.”
“It is a patriotic investment fund that has emerged in recent years.”
“Their model is very special.”
“People who are good at business take care of business.”
“People who are good at research do research.”
“They don't like to interfere professionally.”
“Which likes to build a bridge between the lab and the market.”
He looked at me. The corner of the mouth slightly raised.
"To be honest."
“To a certain extent.”
“The country also needs people like them.”
“Scientists are responsible for innovation.”
“And capital will be responsible for turning those innovations into national strength.”
“That is also the direction we are always looking for.”
Mr. Tran looked at me. Eyes full of expectation.
“The Ministry's opinion is…”
“Support both sides to cooperate.”
“I hope you can boldly move forward.”
“Open a new path for yourself.”
“Don't be afraid of failure.”
“Behind you ladies.”
“We always have our back.”
I looked at him. Then nodded slightly. I really understand. What the country needs. It's not just Hua Jing who can defeat Cao Thien Thanh. But a Hua Tinh who has the ability to overcome old patterns. Opens up a whole new path for science and industry. I hold the phone. Called that strange number. The phone only rang twice. The other end of the line picked up the phone.
“Mr. Long.”
“I am Hua Tinh.”
“I think…”
“We can meet to discuss.”
The meeting between Mr. Long and I was arranged at a tea shop located near the research institute. There is no entourage. There are no bodyguards. No assistant. There was only him. And what surprised me was. He is much younger than I thought. About thirty years old. Wear a casual outfit. Wear black framed glasses. Mild temperament. At first glance, he looks more like a university lecturer than someone running hundreds of billions of assets. His name is Long Sach.
“Principal Hua.”
“Threshold grave a long time ago.”
He proactively stood up and shook my hand. Then they both sat down facing each other.
“Your meeting present.”
"I like it so much."
I get straight to the point. Long Sach burst out laughing. Gently pour me a cup of tea.
“Just a few little tricks.”
“Dealing with scoundrels.”
“Sometimes we have to use more effective methods than them.”
He put down the teapot. Calm voice.
“People like Cao Thien Thanh have sat at the top for too long.”
“They enjoy the highest honors the country has to offer.”
“But I no longer want to move forward.”
“Instead, it's about forming factions.”
“Oppressing others.”
“Turning the academic environment into a place full of dust and power.”
“They are obstacles on the country's path to development.”
“Get rid of them.”
“It's a responsibility.”
“It's also my honor.”
I looked at him for a few more seconds. A new assessment appeared in my heart. This man. Not just an investor. He has ideals. Have aspirations. And be responsible to the country.
“Let's talk about cooperation.”
I put down the tea cup. Long Sach took out a set of documents from his briefcase. Place it in front of me.
“This is the cooperation framework I drafted in advance.”
“You should check it out.”
I opened it and read it. The contents inside were almost exactly what I had imagined. Even more favorable than expected. Long Hon Capital will invest one hundred billion. Establish a completely new business. The name is: Huaxia Advanced Materials Technology Company. Our research institute uses the entire technology of "Super tough silicon carbide fiber crystal" to contribute capital. Don't spend any cash. Holds thirty percent of technical shares. This thirty percent is entitled to receive dividends in perpetuity. At the same time, it possesses veto power over important policy decisions. The research institute will not participate in the day-to-day operations of the business. Chairman of the board of directors is held by Long Sach. The sole goal of the company. Is to promote the industrialization of new materials at all costs. Absolute priority is given to defense and national strategic areas. I closed the document. Raise your head and look at him.
“Thirty percent technical stake.”
“Isn't it a bit much?”
The new core technology is the heart of the entire project. Long Sach burst out laughing.
“Principal Hua.”
“I think you don't have a truly intuitive concept of a hundred billion in cash and a complete industrial chain.”
He spoke slowly.
“What we need is not just capital.”
“We need a factory.”
“Need land fund.”
“Need to buy the most advanced production line in the world.”
“Thousands of engineers need to be recruited.”
“It is necessary to solve tens of thousands of technological problems that arise during mass production.”
“It is necessary to build a stable raw material supply system.”
“Need to develop downstream products.”
“Need to build a legal team.”
“Communication team.”
“Intellectual property team.”
“To deal with international trade competition and future patent lawsuits.”
He looked at me. His eyes were extremely serious.
“That's the business of capitalism.”
“And your team.”
“It is the brains of this empire.”
“The brain only needs to do one thing.”
"Think."
"Creative."
“Discover things that no one has ever done before.”
“There's also the matter of paving the way.”
“Build the city.”
“Expand your territory earth.”
“Let people like us worry.”
