"Ding Dong!"

Not long after Li Xuan pressed the doorbell, a wife who was about fifty years old and a little blessed came to open the door for him.

"Hello, wife, excuse me! I'm Li Xuan, and I've made an appointment with Principal Ma to come to your house for dinner tonight!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

The master showed a kind smile and nodded at him: "Come in, the old horse is in the study, and I mentioned you just now!"

Li Xuan pulled his somewhat restrained girlfriend behind him into the door together.

"Mrs., I heard that the principal likes to drink tea, and I don't know what gift to give, so my girlfriend chose a set of Yue kiln celadon tea set for me!"

Li Xuan gently put the gift he brought on the coffee table.

"It's so expensive to come for a light meal, and the old horse will definitely talk about you again when he knows later!" The master shook her head slightly, and put her eyes on Zhong Chuhong's body, "Ah Xuan's vision is really good, it's a blessing for you to find such a handsome and knowledgeable girl!"

This set of Yue kiln celadon tea set is just a set of modern melamine, and the price is actually not expensive. However, Principal Ma Lin's ancestral home is Yinxian County, Ningbo, and this set of tea sets is produced in his hometown, so it has a special meaning. Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong searched for an afternoon before choosing this satisfactory gift.

"Hello master, I'm Zhong Chuhong, just call me Ah Hong!" Zhong Chuhong's face was slightly red, but he didn't twist it, and said generously.

"You are Li Xuan from the Department of Electronics?

While a few people were talking, an elegant man with a somewhat thin figure but a very good spirit walked out of the study, and after looking at Li Xuan, he showed a hearty smile.

"Hello principal, I'm Li Xuan!" Li Xuan also said with a smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh, Ah Xuan, this kid is embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed, knowing that you love to drink tea, I specially brought a set of Yue kiln celadon to give to you!" said the master and wife, pointing to the gift on the coffee table.

"Oh?" Ma Lin glanced at the package, and roughly estimated the value, and then smiled, "You have a heart!"

Since it was a student's heart, and the value was not high, he did not shirk it, and accepted it happily.

"Don't stand, just sit down!" Ma Lin waved his hand at Li Xuan and found a chair to sit down.

"I heard Professor Zhao Weiming from your Department of Electronics say that you opened a company?" Ma Lin asked with interest.

"Well, it was founded shortly after the start of school last year, and Hong Kong is known as the Pearl of the Orient, so I named the company Dongfang Electronics!"

Li Xuan nodded and said. After a moment's pause, he organized his language and briefed the principal about his experiences since last summer.

Ma Lin listened very carefully, and nodded from time to time: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and pirating other people's intellectual property rights is not a right way after all!

Li Xuan smiled embarrassedly, he didn't deliberately hide the matter of Keji Company. Of course, as for the things involved in Hele Hall during the period, he omitted not to mention it.

"Start your own company at a young age, you are a young boy with commendable ambition!" The master came to bring refreshments to everyone, and couldn't help but praise it, and then turned her head to Zhong Chuhong on the side and said, "Ah Hong, this boy is good, you have to catch it!"

"Hmm!" Zhong Chuhong was a little embarrassed, causing his wife and the principal to chuckle, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little more homely.

"Zhao Weiming said that you are going to donate 10 million to CUHK, what is the specific time!" Ma Lin began to get to the point and asked bluntly.

Zhong Chuhong and his wife were a little surprised when they heard the figure of 10 million, and they couldn't help but focus their eyes on Li Xuan.

"To be precise, it should be Dongfang Electronic Technology Company, which I founded, and intends to cooperate with Chinese University. And 10 million Hong Kong dollars is the first batch of R&D funds that Dongfang Electronics is ready to invest in future cooperation projects between the two sides!" Li Xuan explained calmly.

"The first batch?" Ma Lin keenly noticed Li Xuan's wording, "Ten million is not a small amount, are you really willing to spend such a large amount of money on research and development?"

School-enterprise cooperation, in which schools contribute intelligence and enterprises contribute funds, jointly carry out research and development of certain projects, which is a very common thing in European and American universities. Only those basic disciplines that enterprises are not interested in need of the university need to apply for special funds from the government.

However, in Hong Kong, such industry-university-research cooperation is very rare, which is also determined by the economic structure of Hong Kong. Until the fifties, Hong Kong had been a port for entrepot trade, but after the Korean War, the British authorities tightened their trade policy towards the mainland under pressure from the U.S. government, and Hong Kong's entrepot trade quickly weakened and was forced to embark on the first economic transformation.

At that time, due to the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, a large amount of capital and technology poured into Hong Kong from Shanghai, and Hong Kong's textile industry rose rapidly. However, including textiles, garments, and plastic flowers and toys that have flourished in the past 60 years, they are all labor-intensive industries with low technical content. Even with the emergence of the electronics industry in the 70s, Hong Kong's electronics factories are generally at the bottom of the industrial chain, responsible for the assembly process with low technical barriers.

Therefore, the two universities in Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, have not provided much support and contribution to the Hong Kong industry, and naturally the feedback and funding from entrepreneurs in the business sector is very limited.

"Our two latest video game console products are already selling well in North America and Japan, and we are now cash-flowing. Drawing out 10 million Hong Kong dollars will have little impact on the development of Dongfang Electronics!"

Li Xuan said confidently, "In contrast, the lack of high-tech talents is the biggest bottleneck for our company's next development." Therefore, we are willing to invest in advance, take precautions, and lay a good foundation for the company's future development!"

"In what areas would you like to cooperate with CUHK?" asked Ma Linyan.

"We hope to carry out comprehensive cooperation with the Department of Electronics at CUHK in the fields of computer software development, electronic circuit design, semiconductor component development, and integrated circuit design!" said Li Xuan.

"It seems that your ambitions are not small! With so many aspects starting at the same time, aren't you afraid that you will be at a loss, and besides, 10 million funds are far from enough? There is a good saying that you can't become a big fat man by eating one bite, so you still have to take one step at a time, take your time!"

Ma Lin smiled undeniably, and there was no warning in his words.

Li Xuan smiled a little bitterly in his heart, he also wanted to play steadily, but He Nai didn't wait for anyone. Li Xuan didn't want to just go around in the game industry. In less than twenty months, IBM's personal PC will be launched, which is a new era for personal computers and the beginning of the electronics industry's full-scale entry into the semiconductor era.

"It's time to eat!"

With the help of the Filipino maid, my wife specially prepared a table of Ningbo dishes, such as yellow croaker wrapped in tofu skin and golden chicken.

Principal Ma Lin, as the host, also specially introduced the origin and allusions of several dishes to Li Xuan. After Ma's family history, his father and four uncles were all professors of the Chinese Department of Peking University during the Republic of China, known as the "Five Horses of Yinxian County", all specialized in Chinese studies, and were famous for their research on Chinese culture.

After a family banquet, Li Xuan and his girlfriend left after a while. Ma Lin invited Li Xuan to come over just to understand the general situation of the matter, and by the way, to meet this unusual student, as for the specific negotiation, there will be a special person to conduct detailed negotiations.
