Chapter 287: Not All Students Are So Lucky

New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

“…… Ah, it feels like you're missing out on the whole world. ”

In an office at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Chen Yushan lay on the table weakly, with a loveless expression.

It's been two weeks since New Year's Day, and it's the Spring Festival in two weeks, but she still feels a little nostalgic about not being able to attend the Christmas party.

Compared with her master's supervisor at Yan University and the tutor at the University of Pennsylvania, she is simply Spartan-style strict with her students. Since she came here, there is always an endless amount of work waiting for her, and she will never be idle.

At first, this kind of life made her feel quite fulfilling, after all, she did learn a lot.

But as time went on, even though she was passionate about working in management, she began to lose it.

Ms. Chen believes that her situation is definitely unique, as most international students at Wharton have expressed sympathy for her plight.

Although everyone is also working as free labor for tutors, few people are as exaggerated as her.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Ms. Michelle Passy, wearing a fur-collared coat, walked in.

This delicate strong woman cleans herself up, and her professional makeup hides the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes well.

Glancing at the student lying on the table, she said with a blank face.

"I'm going to meet with customers in a while, are you ready for the chart of Huaguo's lithium battery anode material market research?"

Chen Yushan, who was lying on the table, opened the drawer weakly and took out the USB flash drive: "It's basically done." ”

Management is a very broad discipline, which means that its scope of business can be very narrow or broad.

Maybe today is still doing the company's organizational structure planning, tomorrow will start to collect data for the research of Huaguo lithium battery anode material market. Depending on the requirements of our customers, the types of services they provide will be different.

Although AM outsourced only the former, Ms. Passy was keenly aware that the cooperation agreement between Star Technology, a Cayman Islands-based company, and Umicore in Belgium did not cover the vast Chinese market.

It was a pleasant surprise for her. Conducting market research and developing a profitable IP licensing strategy requires professionals like her.

Providing "value-added services" to customers in this form can be said to be one of the ways in which she can expand her business scope.

After all, business doesn't come to the door on its own, and for a good Wall Street elite, it takes not only the ability to meet customer needs, but also the ability to help customers find out what they need.

Taking the USB flash drive from Chen Yushan's hand, Ms. Patsy casually put it into her bag and said with a blank face.

"I'll check your homework, and for now, you go get some sleep. By the way, say hello to Los and tell her to hand in the report as soon as possible, the deadline is tomorrow. ”

Of course, Chen Yujie will not take her words as sympathy for herself, and the subtext of this sentence is nothing more than that you can work better when you are rested.

"Okay professor, I'll go now."

Weakly responding, she stood up from her desk and staggered to the door.

……

Meanwhile, far away on the west coast of the United States, in northern California, at a small research institute on the edge of Silicon Valley, Professor Sarot is facing the most difficult moment of his life.

Facing the man sitting in front of him, his neck was swollen and red, and he argued in a fierce tone.

“…… Our team has a world-class level in the field of organic synthesis! It's Cornell University that provides us with technical support, do you understand what that means? Ten million dollars want to buy my team, why don't you rob the bank? ”

Woolf just smiled at the professor's statement and said in a mocking tone: "Of course I know that Cornell University, one of the Ivy League schools, has given birth to 54 Nobel Prizes, and there are so many professors there...... But what does that have to do with you? ”

Looking at Professor Sarot, who was frozen there motionless, Woolf continued slowly.

"And as far as I know, normally Cornell professors don't worry about funding and don't go out of their way to Silicon Valley on the West Coast. So may I ask Professor Sarot, is this month's salary? ”

The psychological price offered by the employer is $20 million, and the lower the price can be lowered, the higher the commission he can get.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few valuable devices, he wouldn't even want to pay a penny.

In the service of science?

No, no, no, that's just advertising.

AM Firm is, of course, for the wealthy.

Sarot's old face flushed, and he didn't speak.

If he fools a person who doesn't know anything at all, he can say the truth, and even tear up with his peers at an MRS meeting in front of investors, he will not fall behind at all.

But when it comes to an investor like Woolf, who knows something about the business, his little cleverness doesn't work.

After all, when expertise doesn't work, Woolf's bargaining power is enough to blow up the "layman" of his business.

In fact, Woolf did poke him in the underbelly.

The reason why the company was opened in Silicon Valley instead of Ithaca, New York, was because it was easy to get funding.

In materials science, those well-known professors usually don't do this, because funding is not a problem for them, and a large number of companies are willing to cooperate with them, and they need talents more than funding.

Unlike the materials science and computer industries, the talent density in Silicon Valley is definitely not as high as that near Cornell University.

As for Sarote......

A few years ago, he was still able to get the funds, after all, it was the golden age of lithium-air batteries, and the heat was simply hot.

Microsoft skipped inside, IBM smashed it with real money, and Tesla, a company that makes new energy vehicles, even the U.S. Department of Energy almost jumped in...... It seems that there will never be a shortage of funds in this direction, and if a local tyrant is pitted, there will be new local tyrants lining up to keep up.

However, in recent years, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

.. Bruce's paper on natural chemistry two years ago was bitterly criticized by another big bull, and no one could repeat his results, so that the Bruce professor almost died in the end.

Although most people believe that it is an "honest mistake", they have long labeled Bruce as an "old liar" in their hearts, and the entire lithium air field has been hit hard.

Sarot is only a calf in the field of lithium air, and he could still drink soup with the big bulls, but now the big bulls are unable to protect themselves, forcing him to come out and invest by himself.

To be honest, with the current financial situation of his research team, let alone doing experiments and publishing papers, he can't even pay the salary of a researcher.

"Looks like you're going to need to think about it for a while......" Seeing that Professor Sarot was still holding on, Woolf shrugged her shoulders and got up from the couch, "I'll go around the neighborhood." ”

Seeing that the opportunity was about to slip out of his grasp, Sarot changed several thoughts in an instant.

Finally, he couldn't sit still anymore and spoke up.

"Wait a minute."

Stopping, Woolf turned back and asked in a relaxed tone, "Have you changed your mind?" ”

Sarot whispered, "You scoundrel. ”

Woolf smiled, "Each other, each other." ”
