Jiangcheng, also known as the Chicago of the East, is an important industrial and cultural town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and has been known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces since ancient times.

Jiangcheng University, which is also one of the top 10 universities in China, is an important member of C15.

At the same time, Jiangcheng is also the leader of the domestic inland shipping industry, which has a very early development and perfect shipbuilding industry, so it also has the strongest foundry industry in China.

In fact, large-scale foundry projects are almost always related to the shipbuilding industry, because other industries rarely need to cast very large workpieces.

The world's largest bell – the one that failed to be cast, of course, the Tsar's Clock, was cast from the shipyards.

Although most of the domestic shipbuilding industry is monopolized by coastal cities, Jiangcheng's foundry industry is still domestic and even international leading, and Jiangcheng Foundry Research Institute is the leader of domestic metal casting.

Gu Xiaobai had just gotten off the train from the station in Jiangcheng when he received a request for help from two salted fish professors.

From Dongcheng to Jiangcheng, it took five or six hours in between, and when Gu Xiaobai set off, it was already night, and when he arrived in Wuhan, it was already early in the morning.

Even so, Jiangcheng University still sent a car to meet him.

The current Gu Xiaobai can also be said to be the shadow of the famous tree, although he has not even graduated from his bachelor's degree, but he is the existence of two outstanding young people who have brought out with one hand.

Jiangcheng University did not treat him as an ordinary student at all, but as a well-known scholar who visited.

However, Gu Xiaobai did not trouble Jiangcheng University, his bodyguard troupe and dance troupe had already come to Jiangcheng one step ahead of him and arranged a residence for him, Gu Xiaobai thanked Jiangcheng's reception staff, and went directly to the hotel.

But at this moment, Dongyuan University is still brightly lit.

As the saying goes, there is a lot of money, and the more than 200 million funds of Baisheng Institute are definitely a lot of money in Dongyuan University, and it is almost the largest single project fund of Dongyuan University this year to attract such a large project.

As a laboratory under Dongyuan University, the money still needs to be supervised and kept by the university's financial department.

After the money arrived, Baisheng directly proposed to pay a design consulting fee to Baisheng Center in the form of a design consulting fee.

The design consultant fee doesn't matter, the problem is that the money is as high as 20 million, which immediately caused many people to be red and dissatisfied.

The relationship between the white sound center and the white sound center is actually very delicate.

The Baisheng Institute is named after Gu Xiaobai, but the ownership belongs to the scientific research institution of Dongyuan University, where Gu Xiaobai is a student, and the two salted fish teachers are the teachers and the nominal person in charge - although the name and actual person in charge of the laboratory are Gu Xiaobai, but nominally the two salted fish teachers are in charge.

Baisheng Center is named after Gu Xiaobai, another private scientific research institution invested by Gu Xiaobai, where Gu Xiaobai is the boss and the two salted fish teachers are part-time workers.

Theoretically, the two research institutions are "cooperative", and there is no mutual affiliation.

Because Gu Xiaobai is a student, there is no employment relationship with anyone, and the policy allows college teachers to reasonably work part-time, which is completely legal.

In the Bell and Drum Tower project, Baisheng Institute is the main responsible unit, and Baisheng Center is a subcontractor, because the design of the "Bell and Drum Piano" ontology, architectural acoustics, and mechanical structure is completely designed and completed by Gu Xiaobai and Zhu Qinan, so there is no doubt that the design and consultant fees need to be paid to Baisheng Center.

But such a large sum of money is too big, and the financial department of Dongyuan University really didn't dare to specialize in the 20 million, so it was directly reported to the school committee.

Gu Xiaobai's strong rise, in fact, even within Dongyuan University, has caused many people's eyes.

Seeing this 20 million design consulting fees, many people were furious.

With so much money in design consultant fees, Gu Xiaobai, do you think money is crazy?

Or are you made of gold? and you can make that much money with your pen?

The lawsuit went to Wu Quandong.

Wu Quandong asked: "For a project like the Bell and Drum Piano, less than one-tenth of the design cost, is it expensive or not?"

"But why should this money be given to the Baisheng Center? Why not the Baisheng Institute?"

Theoretically, this is to fight for power in the Department of Physics, after all, Bai Sheng's Institute belongs to the Department of Physics.

But the head of the physics department was not happy: "Why do you want to give this money to Bai Sheng? I'll ask you, what does Bai Sheng have? It's just a few empty rooms." Gu Xiaobai originally wanted to build a full anechoic chamber of hundreds of thousands, but you all pushed back and refused to give money or approval, saying that there were already similar facilities in the college. ”

"In order to build the Baisheng Center, Xiaobai has invested tens of millions of dollars everywhere, built various acoustic buildings, acoustic places, and bought various acoustic instruments, and is not allowed to make some money to recover the cost?"

"But so much money, give it to a private institution...... and some people can't see it.

"So much money? These 20 million yuan have not even recovered a fraction of the cost of other people's laboratories! Without the cost of these inputs, can we design such a legendary musical instrument as the "Bell and Drum Lyre"? Without the design of the Bell and Drum Lyre, can we get these funds?"

The two sides fought fiercely, and in the end, Wu Quandong came out to make the final decision.

"This money will be given to the Baisheng Center, don't say anything, if you think this money is too much, you can also go to pull a project of hundreds of millions, and you don't need to look at anyone. The laws of the country don't stop you, and the school doesn't care about you, if anyone can get such a big project like Xiaobai, you can also get so much money. I'll leave it here, and adjourn. ”

Zhu Qinan woke up from his sleep and saw a text message on his phone.

"Your account received 1,982,471.82 yuan. ”

Zhu Qinan's eyes were about to pop out, what the hell is this?

Is anyone kidding me?

Who called me?

"Teacher, did you mistakenly transfer the scientific research funds of the laboratory to my card?" he called Deng Shunyang first.

"No?" Deng Shunyang looked dazed.

"Why do I suddenly have 2 million more on my card!" Zhu Qinan was crazy.

He hurriedly turned on his mobile phone, checked it carefully, and found that the remarks on which the money was transferred read: "Bell and Drum Piano Architectural Acoustics and Building Mechanics Design Costs." ”

I'll go, design fee!

So much money!

Moreover, it only took a week to get a design.

In fact, Zhu Qinan's family is not short of money, his ancestors are from the capital, and it is said that he is still a descendant of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestors have lived in the capital for generations, and the value of the family's ancestral house is said to be hundreds of millions.

But his family also has a kind of "unproductive" energy of small citizens in the capital, guarding the ancestral house, collecting rent, eating the dividends of the ancestors, living a chic life, no pressure, but no interest.

Of course, in an absolute sense, most of them have no worries about food and clothing in this life, and they don't have to struggle anymore.

But Zhu Qinan didn't want to do this, he had lived differently from his cousins since he was a child.

When his cousins were playing birds and walking dogs, he was studying seriously and practicing the piano and singing in his spare time; when his cousins could not be admitted to domestic universities and went abroad to "further study" at Pheasant University, he relied on his own strength to be admitted to a famous foreign school that he had long-cherished and came into contact with the black cannon culture abroad; when his cousins could not find a job and did not plan to work after returning from their "further studies", he was admitted to a master's degree in another prestigious school.

When his cousins were thinking about bringing home a foreign daughter-in-law, he returned to China and was admitted to Dongyuan University for a doctorate and became a student of Deng Shunyang.

Zhu Qinan is undoubtedly well-informed.

His life story is rich and colorful, and he is more successful than the vast majority of people in the world.

But a reality that makes the listener sad and the listener cry is that he has never earned 2 million by himself......

Compared with Gu Xiaobai's sky-high appearance fee, Zhu Qinan is even more sad.

Phew, obviously everyone is the champion of the school song competition, why is Xiaobai so valuable this year!

I'm so worthless this time!

And Zhu Qinan thinks that his strength is at least about the same as Brother Yao'er, why is Brother Yao so popular, and I can't be popular?

Is it my fault that I'm not handsome? Is it my fault that I'm fat?

Can't fat people make money by singing?

Now that he has found out, forget it, don't expect to make money by singing.

Let's follow Xiaobai, there is meat to eat!
