Chapter 80: Buying a Horse Bone with a Thousand Gold

Inside the joint laboratory building on the campus of Hanxi Jiaotong University, there had been an atmosphere of excitement and joy for some time, from the professors leading the R&D projects to the personnel participating in the R&D projects, all were like this!

After all, it was impossible not to be excited. The first product developed by the joint laboratory was sold out, and it was sold out both at home and abroad.

"240,000 machines were sold yesterday, and they were almost sold out!"

"It's a matter of time. This was just testing the waters. The daily revenue was already over 16 million. I don't know how much will be earned in a day when it officially goes on sale?!"

When Tan Minghua entered the laboratory, he heard several junior brothers and sisters discussing the debut of electronic pet machines in the country yesterday.

The reason why they were so high-spirited was, of course, that the hot sales of electronic pet machines were closely related to the joint laboratory and to them, the participants.

When the joint laboratory was first established, for people like Tan Minghua, they didn't feel any big changes. Anyway, they were all helping their mentors.

But when Tan Minghua followed his mentor Liu Youguo into the joint laboratory to develop the chip for electronic pet machines for Dongling High-Tech, and then waited for the electronic pet machines to sell hot abroad, everything seemed to become different.

First, the number of times school leaders came to inspect the joint laboratory suddenly increased. Professors who wanted to join the joint laboratory, and even professors from other schools bringing teams, also suddenly began to increase.

Then there was gossip that Dongling High-Tech would reward the R&D team led by Liu Youguo, who participated in the development of electronic pet machines, with a huge bonus.

It was hard to say whether the news was true or false, but in the past few days, Tan Minghua saw that their mentor Liu Youguo had a smile on his face and had to hum a few times when walking.

Tan Minghua didn't know how much bonus Dongling High-Tech would issue, but after participating in the R&D project, Tan Minghua and the others could write the name of the participating R&D project on their resumes, just like this electronic pet machine project!

This entry on the resume could let Tan Minghua take at least ten years less of a detour. He could now take this resume out, and with the graduation certificate of Jiaotong University, plus the resume of participating in the electronic pet machine R&D project, he could pick companies with his eyes closed, including foreign companies in the country.

"Senior Brother Tan!"

Seeing Tan Minghua enter, several people who were discussing enthusiastically gathered around him.

"Senior Brother Tan, when will Dongling High-Tech's bonus be issued? Is there a share for us?!"

"How much bonus can be issued? Senior Brother Tan, give us a bottom line!"

"Senior Brother Tan, can people who graduate from our laboratory join the joint laboratory directly?"

"I want to join Dongling High-Tech's technical department. I heard that the wages there are much higher than here in the laboratory..."

Listening to all kinds of questions thrown at him, Tan Minghua coughed and revealed the "majesty" of a senior brother. "What are you all doing? Are you still doing experiments? Do you still want to get a master's or a doctorate? Are these things you should consider?!"

This senior brother, Tan Minghua, still had great majesty in the eyes of a group of junior brothers and sisters. On weekdays, when Liu Youguo was busy, it was Tan Minghua who led the junior brothers and sisters to do experiments, write papers, etc., so his prestige was still very high.

Hearing Tan Minghua speak, a group of people ran away cleanly. Tan Minghua handed over with the people who stayed in the laboratory last night, and when he organized the experimental data of last night, he saw Liu Youguo running over happily.

"Minghua, come out with me later to pick someone up!"

Tan Minghua followed Liu Youguo downstairs, and then saw that in a short while, including the Dean of the Radio Technology College, Han Qianyi, and several school leaders, all rushed over. Several people gathered together and talked in a low voice, all with smiles on their faces.

When a car stopped downstairs at the joint laboratory, seeing the person who got off the car, Tan Minghua knew why Liu Youguo and Jiaotong University were making such a big fuss.

"Dean Han!"

"Professor Liu, sorry to keep everyone waiting!"

After Li Dongling got off the car, he said to everyone. Before entering the joint laboratory, Li Dongling reached out to Tan Minghua behind the crowd. "Senior Brother Tan!"

Tan Minghua shook hands with Li Dongling somewhat constrainedly. He didn't expect Li Dongling to still remember him.

Tan Minghua was a few grades older than Li Dongling and was now a graduate student. Tan Minghua had great talent in the fields of radio and chips. He wanted to enter the academic industry. He had hoped to stay at Jiaotong University before because the current R&D environment outside was really too unfriendly to people like Tan Minghua.

Except for some universities, R&D units, and companies like the Chrysanthemum Factory, Dongling High-Tech, and Wave Mobile that made switches, the rest of the companies really didn't want to invest a penny in technology and didn't need people like Tan Minghua at all.

Seeing Li Dongling's attitude toward Tan Minghua, Tan Minghua, who was originally a transparent person to a group of people and Han Qianyi, also received kind smiles from a group of people.

Entering the joint laboratory, Tan Minghua poured water for everyone and prepared to leave, but was signaled by Han Qianyi to stay and listen. Tan Minghua stood behind everyone.

Tan Minghua looked at Li Dongling, who was talking and laughing with a group of school leaders, Han Qianyi, and Liu Youguo. He knew that if it weren't for Li Dongling's "Senior Brother Tan" just now, he wouldn't have had the chance to stand here. Sometimes, a sentence could change a person's destiny!

"Dongling High-Tech is very grateful for the support of Hanxi Jiaotong University and the college for the joint laboratory. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so smooth this time!"

After sitting down, Li Dongling said straight to the point. "To thank Hanxi Jiaotong University for its support for the joint laboratory, Dongling High-Tech is willing to donate 1.5 million to Hanxi Jiaotong University and the Radio Technology College respectively. In addition..."

"Dongling High-Tech will issue a bonus of 1 million to Professor Liu's team for the contributions made by Professor Liu and the team members to the joint laboratory!"

Li Dongling looked at Liu Youguo. What was buying a horse bone with a thousand gold? It was to let everyone in domestic universities and the scientific research industry know that if you develop good things for Dongling High-Tech, you can get a bonus, and it is a huge bonus!

The room was silent. Liu Youguo felt his brain was a little blank. He suspected that he had an illusion just now, as if he heard Li Dongling wanted to reward his R&D team with 1 million?!

Han Qianyi and several school leaders of Hanxi Jiaotong University were also stunned looking at Li Dongling. When the joint laboratory was established, Li Dongling did say that he would issue bonuses to teams that joined the joint laboratory and developed R&D projects for Dongling High-Tech, but... he didn't say it was such a big deal.

That was 1 million! In the country now, thousands of troops and horses have gone to sea, and countless people have paid everything, but how many millionaires are there in the country now? How many companies can't earn 1 million a year? Calculated by the wages of a unit employee now, this money would take more than 2,000 years to finish receiving!

Now, it was actually rewarded directly to an R&D team. 1 million to a college or a college might be inconspicuous, but rewarding it to a team, the feeling was completely different, and the impact received was simply too great!

"This, I..."

Originally, Liu Youguo was looking forward to this bonus, but now, for a while, he was a little confused. If it were just a few tens of thousands, he would have accepted it, and at most it would have attracted a few gossips.

But now the amount of this bonus was simply too large. His status was still a professor at Jiaotong University. Whether it was compliant to receive such a large bonus was unknown, but it would definitely be envied and reported.

"This doesn't quite fit the rules of the school!" Liu Youguo finally squeezed out such a sentence. Of course he wanted this bonus, but he was also afraid of bringing fire to himself.

Li Dongling knew what Liu Youguo was afraid of and looked at Han Qianyi. "Dean Han, this bonus is a cooperation fee issued by Dongling High-Tech to Professor Liu's team in the joint laboratory. It shouldn't be against the rules, right?!"

Han Qianyi and several Jiaotong University school leaders exchanged glances. They could hear the meaning in Li Dongling's words. "I will discuss the matter of issuing bonuses to Old Liu's team with the school leaders!"

"However, I think there is no problem!"

Han Qianyi said in a deep voice. Liu Youguo taking such a large bonus would definitely make people envious, but Li Dongling's meaning was also very clear. This bonus was for Liu Youguo and his R&D team. Anyone who had small thoughts, wanted to take away this bonus, or played tricks, would definitely have to bear the corresponding consequences.

From the establishment of Dongling High-Tech to the present, Hanxi Jiaotong University and the Radio Technology College had received many donations from Dongling High-Tech, plus the joint laboratory established with an investment of 10 million.

It could be imagined that as long as Dongling High-Tech continued to develop in the future, the donations to Jiaotong University would continue to increase. For Jiaotong University, these were all real benefits. To offend such a big gold master for a 1 million bonus, and this big gold master was also a well-known alumnus who graduated from Hanxi Jiaotong University, then it was even more necessary to weigh it, whether it would chill the hearts of other well-known alumni who graduated from Hanxi Jiaotong University.

Listening to Li Dongling and Han Qianyi's words, Liu Youguo felt that this huge bonus was likely to fall into his hands. However, Liu Youguo also knew that he couldn't eat this money alone. He had to issue a bonus to Tan Minghua and others in the team, and also take the initiative to hand over a portion to the college. Otherwise, taking a bonus of several hundred thousand at once would simply be too eye-catching.

"Dean Han, I came here this time, besides representing Dongling High-Tech to issue bonuses to the joint laboratory, there is another thing!

I personally will combine with Dongling High-Tech to establish a foundation to issue the Qilin Award and the Hezun Award to students in need of help at Hanxi Jiaotong University, Pingyang University, and other schools, as well as scholars who have made academic contributions!"
