Chapter 1588: Chapter 760 Take it Slow on the Road"Director Zhao, a pleasure to collaborate!" Yan Fei, having signed the last name, stood up and extended his hand towards the middle-aged man across from him, who looked back with anticipation.
"A pleasure to collaborate indeed!" Even through his glasses, one could see the excitement and expectation in Director Zhao’s eyes as he vigorously shook Yan Fei’s hand. "You’ve done a tremendous good for Yuzhou Province! Rest assured, we will definitely support this project with all our might, striving to yield re
Now that Yan Fei is willing to support a project, and not just any project, but one with a high success rate that could fill a gap in provincial research – even if the success rate were lower, there are plenty of research units within the province eager for cooperation.
In just two days, more precisely, a bit more than one day, the matter was settled. The relevant contracts were signed; Yan Fei would first provide some funding, and the two units would contribute manpower and all available equipment to kick-start the preliminary work with full force.
Moreover, Director Zhao already said that since all parties signing the contract have agreed to confidentiality, they ensure that the source of Yan Fei’s materials will not be leaked. For now, they cannot guarantee the project’s prospects to higher-ups, so at this stage, officials will only monitor without offering direct support via official channels. However, after the research progresses for some time and partial results emerge due to both units’ involvement, the authorities will undoubtedly provide full support.
It’s common sense that whether the research outcome ends up being private or public, as long as the lab is within Provincial City, it will end up a win-win situation – no one will toil in vain. Scientific research is also a critical way to demonstrate a province’s capabilities; only with plane trees can one attract golden phoenixes. A barren spot can’t dream of attracting investment if there’s no competitive edge as compared to a treasure trove!
For Yan Fei, this is sufficient. What he needs now is to let people know what he’s working on, to prevent others from assuming he’s just fooling around. As long as he can maintain a group of supporters, he believes those who try to trip him up will eventually meet their downfall – we shall see as things progress.
While it’s called a celebration banquet, it’s still all about business. For instance, discussing what equipment Yan Fei has in his Sancha River lab, what both research institutes possess, and whether any additional equipment is needed.
These are detailed issues that can’t be resolved in a short conversation. Yan Fei helpfully listed all the equipment in his Sancha River village lab and the ’forthcoming’ purchases.
Once the list was out, Director Zhao and Teacher Yang couldn’t hide their enthusiasm, even suggesting long-term cooperation. This suggestion pertained specifically to the issue of equipment. Boss Yan, with his substantial resources, prepared a list of sophisticated equipment – most of it imported and cutting-edge. The research institutes would like to rent his equipment if needed for their future scientific endeavors.
