Chapter 154: Proposal
The sound in the room quieted down suddenly, although Zhou Liwen was curious, but after all, it was very rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, and with doubts, he turned around and walked downstairs with a hot water bottle.
Who knew that after just a few steps, he heard a dull slamming sound behind the sound, followed by a man who was nearly 5o years old with a blue face, and strode past behind Zhou Liwen with a pursed mouth.
When Zhou Liwen walked downstairs, he had long since disappeared from the figure of the person just now, and he didn't know if this person was one of the people who had just quarreled with someone in the office.
"Why did you go for so long?" When Zhou Liwen returned to Lin Ruofu's office, Lin Ruofu was almost anxious, and hurriedly asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Don't mention it, it's like a labyrinth, and you're almost lost." Zhou Liwen carried the water bottle and refilled Lin Ruofu first, then poured himself a cup, and said with a smile that he had just walked the wrong staircase.
"Hehe, just now I said I'll go, you still have to rush to go, we are like this here, the house is old, the place is big, and there are many corridors, and it's really easy to get lost without anyone with you."
Zhou Liwen nodded, thinking of what happened just now, hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "By the way, Dad, where is the third floor on the west side?" ā
"The third floor on the west side? Hehe, that's the office of the hospital, the dean, the secretary of the party committee, the vice president, the finance office, the general affairs office, etc., are all on the third floor. ā
"Oh......." Zhou Liwen suddenly realized, and his expression showed a thoughtful expression.
Looking at his expression, Lin Ruofu was a little strange, and after thinking about it, he asked, "What's wrong?" Did you just go up the wrong corridor and bump into someone? ā
"It's pretty much the same." Zhou Liwen smiled, and without concealing it, he told Lin Ruofu about the conversations he overheard just now and the people he saw.
"Is the person who came down from the upstairs 5o years old, about the same height as me, slightly fatter than me, with a Chinese face, with a board head, and wearing a brown jacket?"
"That's right, it's him!" Hearing Lin Ruofu's description, Zhou Liwen immediately nodded again and again.
"Hehe, I guess it's ......." Lin Ruofu smiled, didn't say much, picked up the teacup on the table and drank tea.
couldn't help but be curious, Zhou Liwen saw that there were no outsiders in the house, so he asked Lin Ruofu what was going on.
"That's Deng Jingyi, who is engaged in semiconductors, and he is the chief researcher of the institute like me. The person I spoke to was probably our dean, if I guessed correctly. ā
"Dean?" Zhou Liwen was stunned, and secretly admired this Deng Jingyi, as a researcher, even if he was a director-level researcher, it was really good enough for a director-level researcher to dare to slap the table with the dean, wouldn't he be afraid of offending the dean and wearing small shoes in the future?
"Lao Deng can't do anything about it, to say something unpleasant, I almost slapped the table over there some time ago." I didn't expect Lin Ruofu to say such a sentence, he smiled bitterly and told Zhou Liwen that when Deng Jingyi and the dean quarreled, the old Lin who wanted to buy mice mentioned by the dean was 100% him, and now the research funds in the institute are extremely lacking, and Lin Ruofu's biological research laboratory has no money to buy the guinea pigs for real yĆ n, and at present, he can only suspend the real yĆ n, and he is waiting for the above appropriation.
"Lao Deng is engaged in semiconductor research, to say that his ability can be ranked among the top few in the country, he used to work in the computer institute in Beijing, and then he was transferred to our institute because of the indefinite suspension of the national large-scale computer project. His research is not like mine, and his expenses are very high. It is said that some time ago, his research project was about to reach a breakthrough point, and it was only because of funding that he could not continue to work on it. For this matter, I have been tossing in the courtyard for several months, and I am afraid that the reports on it will be more than a foot thick.
Zhou Liwen opened his mouth wide, after listening to what Lin Ruofu said last night, he thought that he knew something about the predicament of the Academy of Sciences, but he never expected that the situation would be much stricter than he expected. Let's not talk about Deng Jingyi's scientific research project, let's talk about Lin Ruofu, a dignified professor-level researcher, who doesn't even have the funds to buy guinea pigs, how can he conduct research in such a situation?
"Daddy......." Zhou Liwen hesitated, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect the situation on your side to be like this, why don't I donate some money to you?" ā
"Silly boy!" Hearing this, Lin Ruofu smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm not a private research institute here, the National Academy of Sciences, do you donate that money?" Besides, this donation is not a temporary solution, your career has just started, how much money can you come up with? What's more, our research here is a bottomless pit, and no one can say for sure whether the money can be invested in it, and even if there are results, there is still no clear policy on the attribution of the results, so ...... Ay. ā
This is also true, Zhou Liwen nodded to show that the cost of engaging in scientific research is extremely high, and the risk of investing in scientific research is greater. In addition, the special nature of institutions such as the Academy of Sciences and the strict restrictions in some aspects are one of the reasons why many private funds are reluctant to invest in cooperation with national research institutions.
To be honest, on the one hand, he was moved by Lin Ruofu's words yesterday, and on the other hand, he was also out of the acumen of a businessman, wanting to see if there was a chance to find some mature or investable projects in the Academy of Sciences, so as to achieve a win-win result.
Since he said it, Zhou Liwen didn't hide it, and immediately told Lin Ruofu about his inner thoughts. Lin Ruofu thought about it, frowned tightly, and thought for a long time before he spoke: "Xiaowen, I basically understand what you mean. In fact, I also considered this matter, and they also mentioned it to your uncle-in-law at the beginning, but later he sent people to talk to the hospital a few times, but in the end it was not negotiated. Some things are easy to say, but not so easy to do. Moreover, the scientific research direction of our academy is basically high-end, and these topics are difficult for most enterprises to transform into products. Unless it's ...... Hehe, so Xiaowen, if you really want to help the hospital, I can mention this to the dean, but you have to understand that this money may not be paid in return. ā
"It's okay! In fact, it really doesn't matter if you don't reciprocate, Dad, I mainly want to do my part. Zhou Liwen was very sincere.
Lin Ruofu looked at his son-in-law with satisfaction, although he didn't expect Zhou Liwen to take out how much money, but at least it was enough for him to have this heart.
