I Am the President of the University

Vol 2 Chapter 253: $500 million

Ludao is a coastal city, and the sea breeze comes in at night.

In autumn and winter, it will be a bit cold.

Fortunately, it is only the end of October, not too cold.

Even so, Chen Hao, who walked out of the food stall, was blown by the cold wind, and the remaining sleepiness was instantly wiped out.

The conversation between Ren Hong and Chen Ping followed the wind into Chen Hao's ears.

"Professor Chen, are you drunk?"

"How much do I drink, how can I get drunk!"

"Then your face is so red?"

Chen Ping blushed, "Blush? Probably the weather is too hot."

By coincidence, Professor Chen Ping finished speaking, when a sea breeze passed.

It's chilly.

Chen Hao shook his head, glanced over the two of them, and shouted directly at Dai Wenyu's group of people, "Xiao Dai, wait for the way back, remember to take care of the next professor and Professor Chen."

"Okay, don't worry, Principal Chen." When Chen Hao shouted, Dai Wenyu also got out of the crowd and came to the middle of Chen Ping and Ren Hong.

Chen Ping's eyelids struggled repeatedly, opened and closed, still muttering, "I'm not drunk."

Chen Hao and Ren Hong looked at each other, their eyes were a little helpless.

The two of them didn't drink much, only Chen Ping drank the most.

After all, Chen Ping has been doing scientific research at Zhejiang University since returning to China, and it has been more than ten years since then.

Leaving Zhejiang University to come to Guanghua, after all, it is still difficult to make sense.

Tonight, at this dust-cleaning banquet, I drank wine and relieved melancholy.

The group divided into several cars and took a taxi back to school together. Chen Hao waved his hand in place, and then he was about to take a taxi back to the hotel until the car disappeared from his sight.

Because he expected to drink tonight, Chen Hao didn't drive himself. Anyway, he didn't have to bother other people too much for a taxi.

Called an online taxi, stood there and waited for a while, a black BMW slowly stopped in front of him.

Chen Hao got off the license plate, opened the door and got in.

"Master, go to Bailu International Hotel."

Sitting in the driving position was a middle-aged uncle. He glanced at Chen Hao and asked, "Is the mantissa 9937?"

"Correct."

After speaking, Chen Hao moved his butt, adjusted a comfortable posture, and turned on the mode of closing his eyes and resting mind.

Now there are full-time and part-time car owners who drive online car-hailing.

Many part-timers work during the day and make more money by spending a while at night.

Although Ludao is not big, life is not easy.

Most masters like to drive and chat, but a small number of masters like to drive quietly.

For example, this middle-aged man was relieved when he saw Chen Hao's quiet look.

I was still a little sleepy at first, thinking of the two golden swallowing beasts at home, instantly came to my spirits and concentrated on driving the car.

And Chen Hao in the back row explored the system by taking the time in the car.

Especially the new scientific research function.

Looking at the above data, he said depressedly: "System, how come the optical core R&D progress is still 15%?"

When the new function was first launched, the optical core's research and development progress was 14%, and then there has been no change until it increased by 1% yesterday.

The system replied: "The R&D progress bar is monitored in real time based on the existing R&D environment."

"But didn't Professor Chen Ping join the team with the team? Why doesn't the progress bar change?" Chen Hao was still a little confused.

The system explained: “The subsequent addition of R&D personnel will not immediately increase the progress bar, but will only improve R&D efficiency.”

After thinking for a while, Chen Hao continued to ask, "Are there any other circumstances?"

"If the R&D personnel who join in the future carry materials or finished products that are important for R&D breakthroughs, they will use the R&D progress to make changes immediately."

The cold voice of the system made Chen Hao feel icy in his heart.

Before, Professor Chen Ping also mentioned the data in the laboratory to Chen Hao.

Because the research and development funds of the laboratory are all funded by the state and Zhejiang University, the ownership of these materials is likely to be difficult to take away.

But Guanghua's optical core laboratory here is a national focus project. It is not impossible to bring some of the materials. I just want to spend a while.

At that time, I only thought about advancing the progress of optical core research and development as soon as possible. I didn't think much about it. I just asked Professor Chen Ping to bring people over. There was no need to spend some time there for some materials.

Now he regrets a bit.

"It's really painful." Chen Hao took a breath, feeling his teeth sore.

Open your eyes and see, the car is driving on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, less than 2 kilometers away from the Egret Hotel.

Through the car window, I looked at the bustling crowd outside the window.

There are young couples holding hands and playing in the street, and sometimes a family of four who stop taking pictures.

There was a trace of envy in his eyes.

But in just a moment, it disappeared.

The car came to a halt quickly, and after getting out of the car, he called a five-star praised Chen Hao and glanced at the Egret Hotel beside him.

Did not go directly in, but walked into the underground passage aside.

After a while, Chen Hao appeared on the other side of the road.

On the side of the road around the island, outside the railing, is the sea with a wave of moonlight.

The oncoming sea breeze gradually calmed Chen Hao's agitated heart.

Leaning on Langan, Chen Hao fell into contemplation.

The conversation with Professor Chen Ping and Professor Ren Hong tonight made Chen Hao's impression of Professor Rao deep.

For a while, I felt a little emotional.

How does the domestic research climate compare to foreign countries?

Chen Hao had never experienced it, but the information he learned from Professor Chen tonight surprised him.

"In Huaxia, in order to obtain major projects, an open secret is that good research is not as important as establishing relationships with certain people."

"I have witnessed a few old academicians with my own eyes before, surrounded by a director to make a smile."

Chen Ping couldn't get used to this research atmosphere, but he could only endure it.

Sometimes those engaged in scientific research are far inferior to those engaged in administration in terms of status.

For example, in the previous research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, more than 90 researchers collectively resigned, which can be clearly reflected.

These more than 90 people are all with doctoral degrees, and more than 70 are staffed.

At the end of the last century, there was a rhetoric: It is better to sell tea eggs than to engage in missiles, and to take a scalpel as to a razor.

Even if there is an establishment, the salary package is compared with the annual salary of Huaxing and Fujixun's three or four hundred thousand yuan, and even the million annual salary prices offered by top foreign companies.

Originally, the salary was not high, and he was still bullied at every turn. Dedication is not just talking about it.

Kennedy has a famous saying: "Don't ask what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for the country."

This is also the reason why Chen Hao returned to China.

He wants to come back and do something for the country.

At first he wanted to make a career in the computer field he was good at.

But the appearance of the system interrupted his plan.

But then, he found a better way.

Having seen the gap between domestic and foreign education, Chen Hao wanted to see if he could create a huge wave in the education world.

He wants to make Guanghua University the number one university in the world.

Not only does it have the world's top knowledge, but also the best scientific research environment!

Students can concentrate on studying without being disturbed, and scholars can also not worry about material conditions or bend their spine to ask for funds for scientific research.

"There are too many smart people in the world. There are no hurricanes, no pastels, no chivalry, no stars and Wen Tianxiang in their world, they have no idealism, they are too poor."

Professor Rao could have been such a smart person, could have lived as comfortable as a smart person, but he did not bother to do so.

Chen Hao did not want to be such a person.

Looking up, you can see the bright night sky.

He chuckled lightly, and a nice arc formed at the corner of his mouth.

"It's so boring to be such a person."

Turned around and plunged into the turbulent crowd.

He did not know what ambitions Professor Rao brought back to China thirteen years ago.

What he knows is that his path has just begun.

Amidst the noise of the wind, there was a sentence that passers-by could not hear.

"I want to be a meaningful person."

...

Pretty Country, the headquarters of Intel Corporation.

A meeting room is full of people.

What is going to be discussed here is the negotiation on the sale of Intel’s AR business.

Seller: Intel Corporation.

The buyer... is from Guanghua University in China.

Zhu Chen sat in the position and kept silent, as if only bringing ears, listening to the price clash between the two negotiators.

Sitting next to him is a high-paid business negotiator hired by Guanghua University.

Of course, professional things must be done by professional people.

Intel first offered $700 million to sell its AR business.

This price is of course deceptive.

Fortunately, these top international negotiators entered the arena, after the recent fierce confrontation.

The price has been successfully reduced to 420 million US dollars.

After today’s negotiations, the price of $400 million is almost no problem.

"Based on the reflection on the Vaunt smart glasses market launched by Intel, as well as the technical flaws in this glasses... We think that US$420 million is still a bit inflated, and US$400 million is our reserve price. We must not add any more. "

"NO! According to IDC's estimates, the market size of augmented reality and virtual reality hardware is expected to reach 150 billion U.S. dollars by 2025. This market prospect is very promising, and our company's products are the most perfect of the smart glasses that have been launched... "

The two parties are tit-for-tat on the price, and no one is willing to give in.

On the contrary, a middle-aged man with blond hair and a hooked nose was sitting aside impatiently and stopped his subordinates here, skipping these negotiators directly, and his eyes fell on Zhu Chen.

The man with a hooked nose is called Horst Poirot, the head of Intel’s NDG department.

This sale of AR business was presided over by him.

"Mr. Zhu, 400 million dollars can be sold to you, but I have a better suggestion."

"What advice?" Zhu Chen, who was a little pleased when he heard the first half of the sentence, couldn't help but become vigilant after hearing what the other party said.

Poirot lay on his office chair and said lightly: "The AR business can be sold to you for $350 million."

What kind of show operation is this?

The Intel negotiators sitting beside him were dumbfounded.

400 million US dollars can be traded today, why should I take the initiative to drop 50 million US dollars?

"Is this too much money?"

Zhu Chen thought to himself.

But his face remained as calm as ever.

"There is a saying in China: There is no pie in the sky. Mr. Poirot, our Guanghua University is sincerely acquiring your company's AR business."

Being able to become Intel's senior management staff will naturally not be a fool.

The price is lowered. If there is no problem, it is Zhu Chen who is not the other party but Zhu Chen himself.

"Hahaha." Poirot laughed and praised, "You Chinese people are still so cunning. In addition to the AR business in our NDG department, there is also the BasisPeak smart watch business. If you take this business together Sale, 500 million dollars."

Smart glasses + smart watches plus 500 million US dollars packaged for sale?

Smart watches are really out of his consideration.

The negotiator on the side, John Fuer, whispered: "Zhu, this price is still very good, I think you can consider it."

Of course, John is so caring because of the extra deal and the commission he will receive.

And he also spoke from the employer's standpoint.

Although Intel's BasisPeak failed, it has many patented technologies. According to previous assessments, the value of the smart watch business is about 200 million US dollars.

These data are previous professional asset evaluations.

Zhu Chen's brain is running at a high speed, and this deal is naturally not a loss.

Originally, the acquisition of Intel’s AR business was planned for 400 million U.S. dollars, but now it is packaged with 500 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to only spending 100 million U.S. dollars to acquire the smart watch business incidentally.

Poirot's voice came again.

"You can think about it, this deal is definitely not a loss."

Zhu Chen was calm and composed, just a little curious. He looked at each other and asked, "Isn't Intel worried that we can successfully develop smart glasses?"

Guanghua is already standing on the opposite side of Intel, but Intel has sold technology to this enemy, making Zhu Chen somewhat puzzled.

"Zhu, I admit that you succeeded in making me laugh."

After Poirot laughed, his face immediately cooled down, with a mockery on the corners of his mouth, and said: "Even the failed projects of our Intel company will be successful after you take over? Oh, if it is in a dream, indeed It is possible."

The audience was shocked when he said this!

Especially the Intel employees, their faces appeared anxious.

I yelled Poirot as an idiot!

I said it was fine in private, even after signing the contract, how can I say it now!

"I am very disappointed with Mr. Poirot's thoughts. Is the reason for the failure of the Superlight (Vaunt glasses) project still unclear?"

Zhu Chen's words pierced Poirot's heart like a knife.

"Vaunt glasses have a bright future in both design concepts and implementation methods. But unfortunately, this project Intel was handed over to a stupid pig, otherwise it would not consume so much money in exchange for a failure. "

After Zhu Chen finished speaking happily, John's face changed suddenly and he secretly pulled Zhu Chen's clothes.

This is too offensive.

Isn't this to blame the other party for the failure of Intel's smart glasses?

But in fact, although wearable smart products such as AR and VR can become a way for people to entertain and entertain, their commercial value is far inferior to that of smart phones.

In the past few years, in the AR and VR markets, one company after another has witnessed the closure of projects, product failures, and even company bankruptcy. Here we must mention the hero.

However, the failure of Intel's smart glasses is mainly due to the high capital and technical requirements that need to be invested. With the current market dynamics, Intel must stop losses in time, otherwise it is likely to affect the research and development and investment of its main business.

"You mean, the reason for the failure of Vaunt glasses has something to do with me?" Poirot's face became colder and colder, a little ugly.

Zhu Chen asked back: "Otherwise?"

Poirot snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "Then you mean that this project can be successful if you replace it with you?"

Zhu Chen nodded and said confidently: "Of course."

Poirot took a deep breath, he really wanted to make this pesky Chinese person go away.

But he knows that the failure of the UU Reading www.uukanshu.comNDG department has brought a lot of losses to Intel, and the other party is the only one who bids high. If these Chinese people are driven away,

He believed that Swann, the head of Intel Corporation, would also drive it away, and he was merciless.

He tried his best to control the anger in his heart, and said with a strong smile: "Then I look forward to Vaunt glasses in your hands to shine."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Chen was a little surprised.

I thought that the acquisition was cold, but I didn't expect the other party to sell it.

It seems that Intel is really ready to abandon the wearable smart market.

"Negotiations need to be suspended. I need to discuss with our principal and see you this afternoon."

After speaking, Zhu Chen got up and left with John and the others.

Just as Zhu Chen got up and left, and the door to the meeting room closed, Poirot suddenly stood up from the office chair, grasped the information on the table, and smashed it into shreds of paper.

At this moment, the demeanor of executives from the world's top technology companies disappeared completely.

It's like a drunk tramp on the side of the road, drunk crazy.

"Fk, these despicable and disgusting Chinese people! I will definitely make you pay!"

As for the employees next to him, facing Poirot's vent, they just kept silent and did not dare to move.

Poirot continued to leave the meeting room with "fk" on his lips, ready to report to Swann.

On the way, there was a shock in my pants pocket.

I took out my phone and found that the caller was an executive of Apple.
