Chapter 73 The Legendary Case of Bringing Capital into the Group
Nowadays, even leaders with official positions are hesitant to dine out, so the dinner was held in the small canteen of the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's Institute of Biotechnology.
As Lu Ming walked along, he almost stumbled over his own feet.
When he arrived at the small canteen, everyone was already seated except for him.
Jiangtai Group has Mei Yanping, Xue Meiting, and Yao Yao, as well as President Sun of Jiangtai Medical.
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology has Vice President He, who is in charge of students, admissions, employment, and entrepreneurship; Vice President Dai, who is in charge of scientific research and industry-academia collaboration; Dean Zhou of the Institute of Biotechnology; and a biology professor in his fifties.
The last one is Lin Xiaowei, a female doctoral supervisor who looks very young. Her name is very ordinary and is quite common among girls of Lu Ming's generation.
She was fairly good-looking, a fair-skinned and pretty woman with delicate features, and wore frameless glasses with gold rims.
Upon seeing Lu Ming enter, Mei Yanping took the initiative to stand up and introduce him, saying, "All the leaders and doctoral supervisors should know about Lu. He is my ex-husband's junior from university, and we have known each other for sixteen or seventeen years. We have always had a very good relationship."
Principal He also smiled and said, "Student Lu has made a great contribution to our school this year. Our admission score this year is more than three points higher than last year, mainly because our student Lu has attracted a lot of students and played a leading role."
Upon hearing this, the other vice-principal and the two professors all laughed.
This year was indeed unexpected. The top scorer in the national college entrance examination scored 734 points, which is considered very high in recent years. However, because his daughter wanted to attend high school in the province, she ultimately chose to apply to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology in the same province.
Tsinghua and Peking Universities were stunned, and the whole nation was stunned!
Because Mei Yanping wasn't very familiar with the leaders and teachers at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Dean He also got up to introduce her to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was introduced to Vice Principal Dai, Dean Zhou, Professor Huang, and Doctoral Supervisor Lin.
Toasting is no longer a common practice, especially since everyone has other things to do in the afternoon.
Everyone asked Lu Ming to sit down, eat and drink together, and talk about serious matters, things related to money.
Of the three listed companies in the Jiangtai Group, Jiangtai Medical and Jiangtai Shipping have stabilized.
The last company, Jiangtai Real Estate, was transformed by Mei Yanping through acquisitions and asset divestitures into the new Huaxin Motor, which mainly provides motors, electronic controls, and reducers to various new energy vehicle companies in the province.
Real estate, cultural tourism, chemicals, as well as hotels and waste-to-energy plants restructured from Dongchen Group, including their corresponding debts, are all integrated into the parent company.
The current situation is that the parent company of the Jiangtai Group is still struggling with high debt, but the three listed subsidiaries are all doing well.
Most of the debt has been separated from the banks in the province and placed under the trusteeship of a state-owned financial company.
Let's take it slow. Maybe in twenty years, the Jiangtai Group will be able to pay off its debts.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!
Jiangtai Group was once the largest private enterprise in the province, and even now that it has become a mixed-ownership enterprise, its overall size is still very impressive.
Starting this year, we will collaborate with Jiangsu University of Science and Technology on a larger scale, mainly focusing on the industrial chain support for biomedicine and new energy vehicles.
This is also a requirement from the province.
As the boss of the province, Mei Yanping is certainly very obedient, and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is equally obedient.
Everyone immediately agreed.
Jiangtai Medical alone had over a billion yuan in research funding last year, and Huaxin Electric had six or seven hundred million yuan. If they allocate one-tenth of that to collaborate with universities in the province, that's two hundred million yuan!
Even if Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Jiangsu University, Jiangsu University of Technology, and Jiangsu Medical University share the money, with Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's status and talent pool, it should be able to get 100 million yuan, right?
In fact, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology would prefer to cooperate with giant pharmaceutical companies like Hengrui Medicine, but they all have established university partners.
In this field, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology doesn't even rank in the top 30 nationwide; it can only make do with Jiangtai Medical.
The elder brother doesn't mind that the younger brother is poor, and the younger brother doesn't mind that the elder brother is bad at cooking!
Of course, these true feelings couldn't be spoken aloud; both sides presented themselves very politely.
They seemed to be a match made in heaven.
After discussing the Jiangtai Group, Mei Yanping smiled and said to several leaders and doctoral supervisors from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, "Our Daming is, after all, a social media influencer with tens of millions of followers. We know a lot of people, and we've brought a project with us."
"OK!"
Both vice principals said in unison that they were very happy.
This is what they call "bringing your own investment to join the team"!
"Yabin Textile Group is building a smart textile center in the province this year, with an initial investment of 1 billion yuan. So far, there have been many minor problems."
Mei Yanping gave a brief introduction to the situation, explaining that the specific technical issues would need to be discussed between the equipment manufacturer and university experts before the difficulty of these issues could be roughly determined.
"That shouldn't be a problem. Jiangsu University of Science and Technology has participated in more than a dozen smart factories, so we have a lot of experience in this area."
Vice Principal Dai, who was in charge of integrating industry and research, readily agreed, but was a little worried that he might have made a mistake.
The doctoral supervisor he assigned to Lu Ming, Lin Xiaowei, is someone who focuses on CV/ML and large model theory, and has high mathematical requirements.
However, the project Lu Ming brought was more focused on automation applications, particularly pattern recognition and representation learning, and was worth at least tens of millions of yuan in research contracts.
However, at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Zhu Weiping, the director of the Center for Intelligent Science, is the most accomplished in this field.
This is a bit awkward!
Vice President Dai is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in the field of chemical engineering. He went bald a long time ago. He couldn't help but touch his forehead and smooth his hair. It was covered in sweat!
fortunately.
Lin Xiaowei had been back in China for several years and was already very familiar with the domestic scientific research circle. She took the initiative to smile and said, "Principal Dai, I definitely have to take Lu Ming, the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, as my student. Since I've already secured him, I'll hand the project over to Director Zhu. He's sure to be more proficient in this field, so everyone can benefit."
it is good!
Dean Zhou immediately stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Deputy Director Lin, that's the right thing to do—we're going to grab the people! They're more important than the project!"
Hearing their conversation, Mei Yanping immediately understood that Lin Xiaowei, the overseas-educated doctoral supervisor, was not good at industrial intelligent applications. She smiled and said, "Professor Lin, don't worry, Daming can bring many projects, and hundreds of millions of yuan in research funding is not a problem."
"Several hundred million?"
Vice Principal Dai and Dean Zhou were getting a little anxious.
They want students like that too!
Why do we have to study AI, chemistry, or biology? Aren't they better?
At this moment, Lu Ming could only be thankful that he had become a major internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to explain these research funds.
To be honest, it's all about hard work!
They definitely have expertise in this area!
Lin Xiaowei was definitely happy and said with a smile, "Lu Ming, actually, after your college entrance exam scores came out, I watched your video. To be honest, we really have some kind of fate between us."
Because I graduated from the gifted youth program, and the year I entered my alma mater for university, you also entered Jiangxi Normal University, so we were in the same graduating class!
Is there such a thing as calculating fate?
Lu Ming was so embarrassed that he could have dug his toes through the floor, but he could only answer honestly: "I've always been a slacker since I was a child, and I didn't attend any classes properly during my four years of university. So, I'm very grateful to the school and Professor Lin for giving me this opportunity. It's like God left me with a last window of opportunity."
Hearing such sentiments, Vice Principal He chuckled and comforted him, "Lu Ming, you're now a positive role model confirmed by the official media. As long as you don't fall from grace and focus on your studies at school, you'll have no problem graduating with a doctorate."
"Principals, please rest assured, I will definitely focus on my studies!"
Lu Ming immediately agreed, but he knew in his heart that Vice Principal He was mainly reminding him not to use his looks to win over the female chairpersons.
The house will collapse!
Look at this, look at this! Chairman Mei of the Jiangtai Group is going to such lengths to fawn over you, practically begging to give the school research projects and funding!
Hundreds of millions, just casually mentioning it!
