The school's affairs really can't wait, the year-end exam is imminent, Li Yadong has to rush to implement this matter before this.

So the next day, he took the little scalper to HKU together.

It is a pity that the current president of HKU, Gao Kun, is not on campus, so he did not have the opportunity to meet him.

This is a bull man, and many people may not know his name, but if his two titles are mentioned, probably everyone will know it.

One is the "father of the world's optical fiber" and the other is the "Nobel Laureate in Physics".

Li Yadong guessed that he was more of an honorary principal, and it was reasonable that such a person who was committed to scientific research would have too much time to deal with trivial matters, so he couldn't see anyone.

With the help of the little scalper, he found a vice principal of the school, surnamed Huo, but his face was tight.

Principal Huo didn't know about Li Yadong's study in school in the past year, so after hearing that he was an international student from the mainland, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

He had the privilege of going to Tsinghua University last year for an exchange and learned how hard and diligent mainland students are, and how eager they are for knowledge, which is completely incomparable to Hong Kong university students.

But any teacher has no resistance to diligent and studious students.

"Student Li, do you have anything to do with me?" He also specially used Mandarin and was very fluent.

This made Li Yadong a little embarrassed, and smiled, "Principal Huo, that's the case, I feel that the school has cultivated me, and the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention the grace of teaching." The students thought they were capable at the moment, but they saw that many of the school's facilities were not perfect, so they ......"

When he said this, he paused, and when he saw a hint of surprise on Principal Huo's old face, he swallowed his saliva and said, "I want to donate some materials to the school, of course, money is fine." ”

After listening to what he said, the expression on Principal Huo's face had changed from surprise to surprise, and he couldn't believe it: "You...... Want to donate to the school?"

"Yes. Li Yadong nodded.

"Are you really from the mainland?" Principal Huo had to ask again, afraid that he would be wrong before.

"Yes. ”

After receiving his affirmative answer, Principal Huo was even more surprised, staring at the beads of his eyes and asking, "You are very rich?"

Actually, it was a good thing, and he should be happy.

Some students are willing to give back to their alma mater, which not only improves the quality of teaching at the school, but also shows that they are very proud of their ability to educate people.

But the key is what the situation of the mainland economy is, and he knows it well.

With all due respect, he doesn't think that a mainland student can come up with a sum of money that can slightly improve the current situation of the school.

"I dare not say that I am rich, but at least I have some savings. Li Yadong said modestly.

"Student Li, I am very pleased that you have this heart. Principal Huo smiled bitterly: "But your savings, it's not easy to save them, you better keep them for yourself, the school has financial allocations from the Hong Kong government every year, as well as the support of caring people from all walks of life, in fact, the financial pressure is not particularly large, you have a heart." ”

How could Li Yadong not hear the meaning of this, although Principal Huo said it very tactfully, the subtext was actually very obvious - he looked down on his money.

Think about it, the average annual income of mainland residents in these years is less than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, according to the thinking of normal people, how much money can an international student come up with?

Well, even if he is from a wealthy family in the mainland, it is said that the "10,000 yuan household" in the mainland belongs to a wealthy family.

And that little money is tantamount to a drop in the bucket for HKU, where a research project is often hundreds of thousands, or even millions, so what's the use?

Principal Huo may not mean to look down on people, but Li Yadong still feels a little unhappy.

Donating money to others, no one wants it, can you be happy with this thing for you?

He wants to use practical actions to tell President Huo that China is indeed weak at the moment, but not every Chinese is poor!

There are always some people, even on the world stage, who need most people to look up to!

Thinking like this, he couldn't help asking, "Principal Huo, is there anything urgent that the school needs to deal with at the moment, and the funds are insufficient?"

"You ......"

Principal Huo looked at him deeply, and he didn't understand that he hadn't given up yet, and he was somewhat moved in his heart, but he could ask him to accept a mainland student, maybe he could donate thousands or tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

He's so embarrassed.

It's like the state is preparing to carry out a large-scale study, which is beneficial to the country and the people, but because of the huge amount of money required, it advocates the generosity of major foundations, and at this time, the institute welcomes a beggar, who says that he will also donate, crumpling a few hundred yuan in his hand.

This money, in exchange for you, can you collect?

"It's not that it's urgent. He planned to let the young man retreat, and sighed: "Professor Yuan of the biology department of the school made a major discovery in the field of cell core half a year ago, if this research continues to be deepened, it may overcome a series of medical problems, which is of great benefit to the treatment of a variety of cancers in the human body." It's just that...... As you know, there has always been a huge investment in scientific research projects involving medical treatment, and there are still some doubts about this matter, and we applied to the Hong Kong government for scientific research funding, but it was rejected. ”

"Helpful in treating cancer?"

Hearing him say this, Li Yadong's eyes couldn't help but light up, this is obviously a very meaningful thing, don't care if it can be done, first of all, this starting point is excellent, even if it can't be done, you will eventually find out some experience, and the development of human beings is not constantly moving forward in exploration?

Nothing harmful.

That's it!

Thinking like this, Li Yadong asked with a smile, "Principal Huo, how much money does this research project need to invest?"

Principal Huo glanced at him, feeling a little angry and funny, thinking that the international students from the mainland should be extremely smart, and they really dared to ask this sentence?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he didn't speak, his right hand formed a fist, raised an index finger, and then bent downward, straight to the end.

"Ninety million?" Li Yadong's eyes glared suddenly, and he said in his heart, my obedientness, or how to say that the investment is huge, it is really big enough.

90 million, enough to buy a small shopping mall in Central. Isn't it a bit expensive to spend 90 million to buy a graduation certificate?

But......

Li Yadong pinched himself fiercely without leaving a trace, and scolded secretly: It's all out of the money, why is it so useless.

This is a big contribution to the cause of cancer, and after making so much money, why don't you want to contribute to society?

You know, his eldest brother almost died of cancer in his last life, stomach cancer, and finally had half of his stomach removed. After the operation, I was tormented, I couldn't eat it, I couldn't eat it, and I didn't know how to be hungry at all. He was the same, if he hadn't been tested early, he would have almost won the bid for lung cancer.

Thinking like this, Li Yadong gritted his teeth fiercely, thinking that 90 million is 90 million, but it is only more than 10 million US dollars, he can afford to spend it!

Just as he was about to say yes, he didn't know that Principal Huo on the other side replied angrily: "What do you think, it's nine million." ”

Ninety million, you should be building rockets?

"I'll ...... It's only nine million?" Li Yadong let out a long breath.

"Cai?" Principal Huo caught a key word very well and looked at him in disbelief.

Li Yadong smiled, "OK, Principal Huo, I'll provide this research fee." ”

"What's that?" Principal Huo thought he had something wrong with his ears, when did mainlanders become so rich?

And Li Yadong didn't speak, he took out a blank check directly from his coat pocket, took out a pen from the pen holder on the desk, brushed it twice, and wrote a check for 9 million Hong Kong dollars.

Principal Huo took it and looked at it, and then looked at him in surprise, saying that this thing can be counted?

"Don't worry, Principal Huo, I can't joke with you about this kind of thing, you can take UBS and try it, if you can't withdraw the money, you can just expel me from school." ”

Hearing him say this, Principal Huo didn't believe it, but he had to believe it, and suddenly felt that the small note in his hand weighed like a thousand catties, and a touch of joy appeared on his face, thinking that now Lao Yuan's brows that have been frowning for half a year should be stretched, right?

He wanted to find out and ask this mainland student why he had so much money, but he also understood that this kind of behavior was somewhat inappropriate.

Money has always involved privacy, and it is obviously not polite to ask about people's privacy.

"Student Li, have you really decided to donate nine million to the school?" Principal Huo stood up directly, wanting to express his gratitude.

"Of course. Li Yadong smiled and nodded, "But...... I have a reluctant request. ”

"Oh?" President Huo was a little surprised, but he came back to his senses in an instant, it is a normal thing, and there are some entrepreneurs in HKU who donate, such as the Kadoorie Building, which was donated by the Kadoorie family, and the other party also made a request at that time, that is, the naming right. A little thing, it should be, guess that the young man on the other side probably has this kind of request.

"Principal Huo, please sit down first and listen to me speak slowly......"

Saying that, Li Yadong explained his situation in detail, which roughly means that his family has high hopes for him, and he is not here, plus there are several companies to take care of at hand, so he really lacks skills, so he hopes to get a Hong Kong University graduation certificate.

"I see. After hearing this, President Huo suddenly realized, and said that this international student, how could he be so rich, he had already opened a company in Hong Kong, and he was running a prosperous business, and he was also a rare business talent.

"Principal Huo, I don't know ......" Li Yadong couldn't help but be happy when he saw that he didn't refuse directly, obviously there was a drama.

"Student Li, to be honest, there is no shortage of such precedents in major schools around the world, some entrepreneurs will return to school to continue their studies after their successful careers, of course, there are also some to make up for the regret of not going to university, in view of their contributions to the school, after the completion of the academic year, they will make an exception to issue them a certificate of completion. Your situation is much the same. ”

"That is to say...... Can this be done?" Li Yadong was overjoyed.

"Yes, you'll get an honorary certificate of completion. Principal Huo nodded.

"Reputation?" Li Yadong was surprised, "Is there any difference?"

"It's no different, it's just that in the school's archives, there will be a record. ”

"Oh, that's fine. Li Yadong waved his hand, he didn't expect to find a job through his graduation certificate, whether the graduation certificate had gold content or not, it didn't mean much to him.

Suddenly thinking of something, he asked again: "Principal Huo, when can I get my graduation certificate?"

"Wait until you're in school, of course. ”

“……”

It's a dog, which means that you have to stay up?
