Principal Zhu and his colleague were a little surprised that Song Chu wanted to build such a large laboratory.
If the land is more than one acre, a small teaching building can be built.
Vice President Ding thought of a place and said to President Zhu, "There is a piece of vacant land on the back hill of our school. If Song likes it, we can use it to build a laboratory."
Principal Zhu also thought of the land on the back hill, and said to Song Chu with a smile: "There is a piece of vacant land on the back hill of our school, which is about ten acres in total. Do you want to go and have a look?"
That piece of land was originally intended to be a test field, but later it was discovered that the soil was not suitable, so it has remained empty.
The school originally planned to build a few student dormitories on the vacant land in the future after recruiting more students so that the land would not be wasted.
If Song Chu likes her now, they will definitely give her priority.
They had heard that she had reached an agreement with two large international biopharmaceutical companies to introduce the most advanced equipment into the laboratory.
If the laboratory can be built in their school, even if Song Chu does not allow people in the school to use it, it can become a landmark building, which will surely be the envy of other schools.
It will also be more convenient for Song Chu to conduct experiments, so he won't run away and be poached by someone.
Yes, for such a genius, they were always worried that she would be poached by shameless people.
Song Chu smiled and said, "It would be even better if the school had an open space."
The laboratory she wants to build is dual-purpose. It can not only conduct biopharmaceutical experiments, but also work on agricultural plants and raw material extraction. It is also more convenient to build it in the school.
"We'll take you to see it later." Principal Zhu said with a smile.
Song Chu nodded: "Okay!"
In addition, she is quite satisfied with the land now, so she is ready to sign a contract with the director of the commune.
They signed a 30-year contract, and Song Chu could pay the contract fee in one lump sum.
The director of the commune was very happy. The 30-year contract fee had been paid in full, which was 150,000 yuan. By then, every household in the nearby villagers would be able to get a lot, and everyone would surely be very happy.
After the contract is signed, Gu Yue will find someone to notarize it, and Song Chu will just have to pay the full amount.
After the contract for the mountain land was finalized, Song Chu and his friends returned to school to see the vacant land.
The back mountain is some distance away from the school, and there are only a few scattered trees on the mountain, and it is rather deserted.
The terrain of the mountain is not high, and the open space in front is enough to build a laboratory. The mountain can also be used to grow agricultural plants or medicinal herbs as a test site. She is very satisfied.
"This mountain looks good to me. What should I do if I want to contract or buy it?" she asked.
Principal Zhu and Vice Principal Ding had just discussed this. "The school doesn't need to pay the contract fee. We're just trying to see if this is possible. When you build the lab and want to import equipment, can you help our school buy some better equipment?"
They want to buy but can't find a place to buy. If Song Chu can help, this problem can be solved.
Moreover, it can be regarded as their school's use of a piece of land to show its optimism and investment in Song Chu's future. Although the risk is not small, it is worth a try.
Song Chu could see what they meant, so he smiled and said, "That's no problem. Just give me a list of the equipment you want, and I'll help you negotiate when the time comes."
"I built a laboratory. If the Agricultural University has important projects that require experiments, as long as I agree, I can lend part of the laboratory to the school's professors for use."
It is impossible for her to study agricultural plants and medicinal materials by herself, so of course she needs the talents and backbones from the Agricultural University to work together.
This not only does a favor, but also helps to recruit talents in this area, which is a win-win situation for her and the school.
Principal Zhu and Vice Principal Ding did not expect Song Chu to be so generous. They were all excited and asked, "Can you lend the laboratory to our professors?"
If it were someone else, they would definitely not borrow the laboratory, after all, it is too precious.
This made the two people's impression and favorability towards her rise to a higher level.
"But if you want to borrow it, you have to follow the laboratory rules," she emphasized.
Principal Zhu's smile deepened. "That's for sure. If anyone breaks the rules, I will be the first one to not forgive them."
"So what's the deal? Do we need to sign a contract?" he asked.
Song Chu pointed to a place not far away and said, "I have another request. I want to build a wall over there to enclose the back mountain. If you enter from the school, build a separate gate."
“That is to say, although the laboratory is in the Agricultural University, it is a separate and independent entity.”
"The main entrance. I plan to build it on the other side." She pointed to a location in the front and side.
It is not far from the highway. When the laboratory is built, we can build a road to connect to the highway, so that the laboratory will be completely independent.
She added: "I want to spend money to buy this place, so that I don't have to get involved in disputes in the future."
She was very satisfied with this place, but the school did not want any contracting fees and the land belonged to the school. If Principal Zhu retired in the future and the new principal used this to cause trouble, it would be troublesome, so it would be better to solve the problem once and for all.
Ugly words should always be said first.
Principal Zhu was stunned, but he was a smart man and quickly guessed Song Chu's concerns.
This is actually understandable. After all, Song Chu wants to establish a top private laboratory and certainly does not want to be associated with a school, otherwise it will be difficult to clarify in the future.
"As for selling the land, I can't make the decision directly. I need to convene a school committee. Can I give you an answer later?" he said.
Song Chu nodded and said, "Of course no problem."
Next, Principal Zhu organized a meeting, and Song Chu went to the dormitory he was assigned to.
Men were not allowed to go up, so Gu Yue was waiting downstairs.
Since she had to live on campus from Monday to Thursday, Song Chu didn't have to worry about it. Gu Yue bought bedding and daily necessities for her and put them in the car.
This time she carried her things up to the third floor by herself.
The dormitory door was open and she walked in.
The dormitory conditions in this era are very average, and can even be described as poor compared to later generations.
However, Song Chu had survived the end of the world and had experienced the worst environmental conditions, so she didn't care that much.
The dormitory is a six-person room, and all of them are students from the same department.
At this time, only the upper bed near the door was empty, and the other beds were made. It was obvious that the other five people had already moved in.
Song Chu had anticipated this a long time ago. She didn't have many requirements for where to live, so she came to report today.
After the laboratory is built, if she doesn't want the dormitory, she can move there directly.
There are only two people in the dormitory now, one looks to be around thirty years old with a mature and experienced look, and the other is in his twenties and looks a bit simple and shy.
"Are you a new classmate?" The weathered woman put down the cup in her hand, looked up and asked Song Chu with a smile.
Song Chu smiled and nodded: "Well, I just got here."
The mature woman immediately came over to help, "Welcome new students!"
"Welcome!" Seeing this, the other shy woman hurried forward to help.
