Chapter 3017: with translation of chapter title

2933.2817 Swift and decisive (Sect Leader Bai Li Qingyan extra chapter)

"Xiao Su." Zhou Chun Yong said with a hearty laugh, "No matter what large equipment, there's never been a precedent for a lump-sum payment, right? Let's sign the contract first; this money, I'm the boss, I can decide. As for the rest, the institute can support part of it, and I'll quickly figure out a solution for the remainder."

"The institute will definitely support it; 30 million is too much, but a few million is no problem." Director Bao began to state his position.

"……" Su Yun saw Zhou Chun Yong rushing about, also sighed. Everyone says Pengcheng speed; look at Old Zhou, this is Pengcheng speed.

"20 million yuan national natural science fund, directly to your account, the allocation will be deposited."

"As for the rest, our institute will do its best to resolve it; we can't have such a big project with the institute offering no support at all." Director Bao laughed heartily and pushed the matter forward a bit more.

Director Lin and many directors of Di Du Tumor were dumbfounded; when expressing a reply within 24 hours, Director Lin had already gritted his back molars to say this sentence.

A bloated system, wanting to approve a large piece of equipment—how could it be as simple as playing house? There used to be a joke: a multinational big company in the United States, all mid- and senior-level staff collectively disappeared, yet it didn't affect the company's operation at all.

Switching to Di Du Tumor is the same; what has the institute done? To put it bluntly, just doing odd jobs every day, it doesn't affect the progress of clinical work.

Director Lin had a clear idea; if he himself, the director, disappeared, it would absolutely not affect the operation of Di Du Tumor. Perhaps it would run even more smoothly… can't think that way, it's too hurtful.

Indeed, there's no arguing; this Zhou Chun Yong is swift and decisive to the extreme, can be said to be betting everything, putting all his lifelong resources into this. The national-level natural science fund isn't even in the application period; he managed to secure it—just imagine how much work went into it.

Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren, saw him nod slightly, then turned her gaze to Director Kong.

Director Kong smiled helplessly, his expression gentle, showing no trace of oddness, but in his heart he sighed.

Zhu Lao Wu has worked hard these years; this is the first time in close combat he felt that sense of oppression emanating from Zhou Chun Yong.

If I were to engage in close combat with such an opponent, I'd probably have to endure extreme hardship. But who would do those rough jobs?

Thinking this, Director Kong was in high spirits. No matter how formidable Zhou Chun Yong is, he can only do scientific research together with his own little brats; as for me, I'll just peacefully enjoy my retirement, and no achievement will elude me.

This was decided when I went to Hai Cheng twice last year.

From that bleak, windy autumn all the way to the snow-covered winter, I have already finished everything that needed to be done; now I just need to wait for the harvest.

Thinking this, Director Kong gave a slight nod, indicating to Su Yun that his side was fine.

"Director Zhou, the national natural science fund isn't something you can apply for anytime, anywhere." Su Yun didn't directly agree, but started to nitpick, "I'm not well educated, don't fool me."

Zhou Chun Yong didn't speak, but looked at Director Bao.

"Cough cough." Director Bao lightly coughed twice, then smiled and said, "Professor Su, you might not know yet: Peng lao, the two-academician who finally reviews the national natural science fund, is my boss."

"……"

Su Yun really didn't know this connection; not only him, but Director Kong also didn't know. Director Lin had heard of it, but never imagined that Di Du Liver and Gallbladder would act so quickly, directly using the most personal connections.

Everyone knows how the money of the national natural science fund will be used. If I could secure 20 million yuan of that fund, who the hell would bother with this!

"Yesterday after getting the news, I and Director Zhou went to the boss's place and explained the significance of this matter." Bao Longtao said with a smile, "This is a major undertaking for the country and the people; there are still procedures in the institute, but we absolutely cannot delay the project. Director Zhou has done all the preliminary work; our institute absolutely cannot hold back the project, right?"

"The boss initially hesitated a bit, but after asking, he agreed as soon as he knew 912 had already started contacting the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It's just that he had something on his end, causing a delay of a morning."

"Zheng Lao Ban, Professor Su, the agreement can be signed anytime; we're not lacking money, nor sincerity, technology……"

"It can only be considered a makeshift, but it definitely won't hold us back!" Zhou Chun Yong said loudly.

"Mm, that's it."

After saying that, Bao Longtao looked at Zheng Ren with a smile.

"Alright then." Zheng Ren finally hammered it out, "Director Zhou, how should Professor Gao be positioned in this project?"

"I'm the person in charge, Professor Gao assists. Once the project has some outline, Professor Gao will suggest a Deputy Chief; whoever spouts nonsense, I'll beat him to death! Do you think that works?" When it comes to fighting for interests, Zhou Chun Yong shows no mercy.

Zheng Ren glanced at Director Kong, saw no objection, then said with a hearty laugh, "Fine, let's settle it like that."

"Machine……"

"I'll have Xiao Feng lead the technical team to rush to install at Di Du Liver and Gallbladder." Zheng Ren said with a smile, "Soon, before I go to Sweden, we estimate we can open one surgery."

Zhou Chun Yong got Zheng Lao Ban's confirmation, his whole body went limp, he almost fell to the ground.

Since receiving the news yesterday until now, Zhou Chun Yong hasn't slept a wink, constantly thinking about this matter.

But it's not over yet; for such a large cooperative project, if we don't come up with some tricks, Zhou Chun Yong feels it's too inappropriate.

It's not about playing tricks with the 912 institute side; it's about gaining Zheng Lao Ban's approval, further closing the relationship between us and Zheng Lao Ban.

"Zheng Lao Ban, shall we discuss research together tonight?" Zhou Chun Yong understood this solitary Zheng Lao Ban too well; he didn't say to have dinner together tonight, but brought up research.

As for this Zheng Lao Ban before him, Zhou Chun Yong even suspected he had a split personality. Generally geniuses have such or that flaw, especially when dominated by mental illness—it's a sequela after brain development exceeds 30%.

However, Zhou Chun Yong didn't dare say that.

"Uh…… okay." Zheng Ren agreed, turned his head to look at Director Kong, "Director, let's go together."

"Director, you need to be our backbone; otherwise Director Zhou is too fierce, and we're scared looking at him." Su Yun said with a hearty laugh.

"Okay, I'll ask for leave from my family." Director Kong pretended to find it difficult and nodded.

Director Lin felt a bit disappointed; he didn't even dare to look at his own little girl's eyes. Mobilizing the masses, originally thinking it was given considerable attention, but unexpectedly Zhou Chun Yong, with thunderous force, directly upgraded a machine into a project, and moreover used almost the strongest resources, applied for a national-level natural science fund, and directly obtained it.

He sighed, stood up, and bade farewell to the others.

Zhou Chun Yong made it clear: research projects, research work, are not for dining; he directly barred Director Lin and the others from the door.

If he were to shamelessly fawn over, Director Lin would have neither the interest nor the need.

Feeling somewhat disappointed, Director Lin came in high spirits and left in low spirits.
