Chapter 919: 915. What is Zhang Ran least short of? (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

Professor Zheng is undoubtedly very excited at this moment, because he learned from the principal that he has won!

For him right now, this is undoubtedly a piece of tremendous good news.

You must know that just yesterday, the look the principal gave him was still very cold, and the reason Professor Zheng signed the military order previously also had the principal's influence in it.

Although it is said that the academic world is relatively cleaner, in reality, the infighting within it is not the least bit weaker.

It is just that in the academic world, one's own ability is the foundation in many cases, but when the gap in this foundation is not very large, the competition and pressure faced are not the least bit smaller than in other industries, and in some respects, they are even greater.

Previously, Professor Zheng was actually not on the principal's side; do not doubt it, in places like universities, these issues of picking sides are actually quite serious.

It is just that in the past, Professor Zheng did not make things too awkward with the principal, but there is no doubt that in many matters, regardless of what Professor Zheng thinks, as long as it does not cross certain bottom lines, Professor Zheng must consider the people on his own side.

And the reason the principal forced Professor Zheng to sign the military order also had many benefits; if Professor Zheng won, that would naturally be great.

After all, he is the principal and Professor Zheng's direct superior; if Professor Zheng achieved results, he would also have the credit of leadership.

And if he failed, then Professor Zheng's professor title would be stripped, and this professor title was effectively held in the principal's hands.

This could bring great benefits to the principal.

A professor title at a school is very precious; it is not something that can be given to just anyone.

It is even less the case that you can get it just because your academic ability is sufficient and your qualifications are enough; there is no telling how many people across the country are lined up waiting for one.

Of course, if your academic ability is truly super strong, strong to the point where you do not care about this professor reputation, then that is naturally no problem.

However, by that time, there will be higher titles waiting for you to obtain.

Professor Zheng is actually still a bit dazed at this moment; such good news, combined with last night's hangover, left him unable to react for the time being.

But no matter how dazed he is, he knows how to handle certain matters.

"Haha, well, actually I don't know Professor Anderson, it's just that an old friend of mine does, and I didn't want to trouble this old friend before.

Principal, you also know that for people like us, we don't have many years left anyway, and the rest of our days are just about living happily.

If I went to beg him, it would be equivalent to being inferior to others, this......... sigh, but things have reached this point and there is no other way, so I can only go and beg this old friend." Professor Zheng feigned emotion and sighed.

The principal's eyes flickered, and the smile on his face was enough to make one feel the warmth of sunshine, "Lao Zheng, which academic bigwig is this old friend of yours?"

Professor Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "He is not a person from the academic world."

"Hmm?" The principal looked at him with some suspicion; not a person from the academic world? How could he invite Anderson to come forward?

A Nobel Prize winner in biology, and someone like Anderson who has long maintained a position at the pinnacle of biology, how could he not be a person from the academic world?

Nobel Prize winners actually have a rough classification, although it is true that as long as one has won a Nobel Prize, they are undoubtedly world-class scientists.

Of course, the Peace Prize is an exception.

But some Nobel Prize winners spend less time on scientific research afterward, so their output is naturally a bit less.

Some remain on the front lines of scientific research afterward, and their status is naturally a bit higher; although the difference is limited, generally speaking, there is still a slight distinction.

Anderson is such a person; ever since winning the Nobel Prize, his biology laboratory directly received a large amount of funding, and over these years, it has become the world's number one biology laboratory.

So, with Anderson coming forward, it is equivalent to Professor Zheng winning; this is the effect brought about by a person's reputation.

No one would question such a person!

Since Anderson has acknowledged Professor Zheng's research results, then as long as Professor Zheng is not committing academic fraud, these research results are his.

Professor Zheng had also fully regained his senses by now and said with a smile: "I didn't lie to you, do you know Zhang Ran?"

He had no intention of hiding it; at a time like this, speaking it out directly was obviously much better than hiding it.

And this was also equivalent to telling the principal that he also had someone behind him, and a powerful person at that.

To tell the truth, Professor Zheng had actually been extremely regretful these past few days, wondering why he had been provoked at that time.

The price of this was something he could not bear.

Of course, Professor Zheng understood one more thing: the main reason the principal dared to do this was because he did not have a real backer behind him.

He had supporters, but they were not enough to make the principal wary, and if the two sides truly encountered an opportunity, they would even strike a fatal blow, just like this time.

Hearing the name Zhang Ran, the principal became completely confused.

Zhang Ran?

Who is this?

Why have I never heard of him?

Which branch of scientific research is this bigwig from?

Alright, until now the principal still did not believe Professor Zheng's words; it is truly very difficult to get someone like a Nobel Prize-level player like Anderson to act.

Most of the time, it is because everyone is at the same status and has a good friendship that one can get them to act.

"Principal, I already said, Zhang Ran is not in scientific research, he is our Huaxia Richest Person." Seeing the principal like this, Professor Zheng stated the answer directly.

"Richest Person?" The principal reacted instantly.

He did know a thing or two about this legendary Richest Person in China; after all, it is hard not to know about such legendary matters.

Now, jokes about Zhang Ran on the internet are basically emerging one after another, and everyone holds an incomparably curious mindset toward such a legendary experience.

In fact, even the principal had gossiped about Zhang Ran's affairs at his family's dinner table; of course, that was just a small, internal family joke.

"He knows Anderson?" The principal was still somewhat suspicious.

Professor Zheng smiled and said: "That's not it, Zhang Ran doesn't know Anderson either."

"Then?" The principal was completely bewildered, but if he did not figure out the relationship within, he would feel somewhat uneasy in his heart.

This was also the reason why he ran over the first moment he learned the news.

It is just that if Professor Zheng could get Anderson to act, then the benefits Professor Zheng could bring him would be immeasurable.

Not to mention anything else, just arranging for some students to enter Anderson's laboratory for internships would be an incomparably dazzling political achievement.

"What is the one thing Zhang Ran is least short of?" Professor Zheng's mood was getting better and better at this moment.
