"Ding dong—!"

Not long after Li Xuan rang the doorbell, a slightly fat wife in her fifties came to open the door for him.

"Mother, hello, sorry to bother you! I'm Li Xuan, and I made an appointment with Principal Ma to come to your house for dinner tonight!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Mistress showed a kind smile and nodded to him: "Come in, Lao Ma is in the study, I mentioned you just now!"

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

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

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

"It's so expensive to have a simple meal. Later, the old horse knows that he will definitely want to talk about you again!" The mistress shook her head slightly and set her eyes on Zhong Chuhong, "Axuan's eyesight is really good, you found such a person. A handsome and knowledgeable girl, what a blessing!"

This Yue Kiln celadon tea set is just a set of modern imitation porcelain, and the price is actually not expensive. However, the ancestral home of Principal Ma Lin is Yin County, Ningbo, and this tea set is produced in his hometown, so it has a special meaning. Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong searched for an afternoon before they chose this fairly satisfactory gift.

"Hello, mistress, I'm Zhong Chuhong, you can just call me Ah Hong!" Zhong Chuhong's face flushed slightly, but she didn't hesitate, and said generously.

"You are Li Xuan from the electronics department? You are indeed a young talent!"

While the few people were talking, an elegant man with a thin body but very good spirit came out of the study, looked at Li Xuan for a while, and showed a hearty smile.

"Hello, Principal, I'm Li Xuan!" Li Xuan also said with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Here, Ah Xuan, this child is embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed. Knowing that you love tea, he specially brought a set of Yue Kiln celadon for you!" The teacher pointed to the gift on the coffee table and said.

"Oh?" Ma Lin glanced at the packaging, probably estimated the value, and then smiled, "You really have a heart!"

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

"Stop standing, just sit down!" Ma Lin waved to Li Xuan and found a chair to sit down.

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

"Yeah! It was founded shortly after school started last year. Hong Kong is known as the Pearl of the Orient. I named the company Dongfang Electronics!"

Li Xuan nodded and said. Later, he paused for a while, organized the language, and briefly introduced his experience since last summer vacation to the principal.

Ma Lin listened attentively and nodded from time to time: "A gentleman loves money, and it is the right way. Piracy of other people's intellectual property is not the right way! It's a pleasure to be your principal!"

Li Xuan smiled embarrassedly. He didn't deliberately hide the affairs of Keji Company. Of course, as for the matter involving Heletang during the period, he omitted to mention it.

"You started your own company at a young age. You have a great ambition!" The wife came to bring refreshments to everyone, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, then turned her head to the side of Zhong Chuhong and said, "Ah Hong, this boy is not bad. You're about to get caught!"

"Yeah!" Zhong Chuhong was a little embarrassed by what she said, causing the wife and the principal to chuckle, and the atmosphere became a little more homely.

"Zhao Weiming said that you are going to donate 10 million to Zhongda University, 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 number of 10 million, and couldn't help but focus on Li Xuan.

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

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

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

But in Hong Kong, such industry-university-research cooperation is very rare, which is also determined by the economic structure of Hong Kong. Before the 1950s, Hong Kong had always existed as an entrepot trade port. After the Korean War, the British authorities tightened their trade policy with the mainland under the pressure of the US government. Hong Kong's entrepot trade declined rapidly and was forced to take the first place. sub-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 the textile industry in Hong Kong rose rapidly. However, including textiles, clothing, and the plastic flowers and toy industries that flourished in the first sixty years, they are all labor-intensive industries with low technical content. Even with the rise of the electronics industry in the 1970s, electronics factories in Hong Kong are generally at the bottom of the industrial chain and are responsible for assembly processes with low technical thresholds.

Therefore, the two universities in Hong Kong, HKU and CUHK, do not support and contribute much to the Hong Kong industry, so naturally they receive very limited feedback and funding from entrepreneurs in the business community.

"Our company's latest two video game console products have already started to sell well in the North American and Japanese markets, and now the company's cash flow is very abundant. With HKD 10 million, it 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 and plan ahead to lay a good foundation for the company's future development!"

"In what areas do you hope to cooperate with CUHK?" Ma Lin asked seriously. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

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

"It seems that your ambitions are not small! If you start with so many aspects at the same time, you are not afraid of being at a loss. Besides, ten million funds are far from enough. Footprints, take your time!"

Ma Lin smiled undeniably, and there was a warning in his words.

Li Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he also wanted to play steadily, but He Nai time waited for no one. Li Xuan doesn't want to be in the game industry only. In less than 20 months, IBM's personal PC will be launched, which is a new era of personal computing and the beginning of the electronic industry's full entry into the semiconductor era.

"It's time to eat!"

With the help of a Filipino maid, the wife specially prepared a table of Ningbo dishes. Yellow croaker wrapped in bean curd skin and golden chicken in fire are all famous dishes in Ningbo.

As the host, Principal Ma Lin specially introduced the origin and allusions of several dishes to Li Xuan. After the origin of Ma's family, his father and four uncles were professors in the Chinese Department of Peking University during the Republic of China. They were known as the "Five Horses of Yin County".

After a family dinner, the guests and the host were very happy, and Li Xuan and his girlfriend said goodbye for a while and left. Ma Lin asked Li Xuan to come over just to get a general overview of the situation, and to meet this unusual student by the way.
