Most of the Ningzhou-related affairs have been completed. As for the project members, Sheng Quan said he would not participate.

Although his social skills are negative, Ning Zhou's professional field is still reassuring.

She has temporarily shifted her focus to other student projects.

Although he came to Ningzhou in the first place, Sheng Quan did carefully select from the numerous projects.

Of course, she didn't choose it herself, but invited professionals to analyze and select it.

Even though he himself was involved in the analysis, every time Professor Wang saw a project he was optimistic about, he couldn't help but sigh: "Even in our school, students still don't get enough research opportunities while they are in school."

Although he was sent by the school to accompany the big boss, after spending some time together, Teacher Wang already regarded Sheng Quan as a half-junior and was naturally willing to speak a few words from the heart.

“Not only are the laboratory resources limited, but there are also not enough supervisors. Even if students do their own projects, for a student who has not yet graduated and has no reputation, project funding is a big problem.”

He looked at the project book in his hand and sighed: "Like this project book, you can tell at a glance that this student has done enough homework and has a solid foundation. The chances of success are definitely very high."

"But even so, unless she is already famous or her mentor is famous, basically no one will be willing to invest."

Sheng Quan expressed his understanding, that’s for sure.

Even though everyone knows that young people are the hope of the future, when it comes to investment, most people would definitely choose those who already have achievements and experience rather than students with a blank slate.

Investing in students means that you are prepared to lose all your money. Who would do that? Even if the super-rich want to do charity, they would prefer to donate directly or build schools. At least if the school is built, it is clearly there and can be used.

What about scientific research? They may be willing to donate directly to C University, but it is almost impossible to spend the money directly on student projects.

Because this money will really be wasted.

It is very common in scientific research to spend huge amounts of money, consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and end up with nothing.

If the vote is given to students, it would be equivalent to the original 60% chance being wiped out and directly rising to 90%.

Even though some teachers always joked that they were all tempted by the 100 million yuan investment, they wanted to grab it.

But in fact, any teacher who understands the difficulties faced by students in doing scientific research knows how rare this opportunity is for students.

This is completely fair competition. As long as you are a student, you have the opportunity to participate.

Although the competition is fierce, at least this is an opportunity that belongs to them alone.

Sheng Quan took the project book from Teacher Wang and put it in the pile of [Awaiting Final Review]: "The situation will not always be like this. Twenty years ago, C University was still short of instruments. Now, isn't it true that as long as C University has released them, it can get them?"

She said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Just wait and see. Most of them are geniuses who just lack an opportunity. If these geniuses soar to the sky because of my investment, then there will be so many companies investing in these students that you will not be able to accommodate them all."

This is indeed true. The purpose of cooperation between enterprises and schools is of course to make profits. If Shengquan can get double or triple the money it invests in students, many people will naturally follow suit when they see that some people have reaped the benefits.

Teacher Wang is not as optimistic as Sheng Quan: "That's true, but when it comes to scientific research, who can be sure?"

As teachers, they themselves may not be able to produce any results after working on a project for seven or eight years, so how can they have too much confidence in their students? After all, scientific research is like this, and you cannot guarantee results just by working hard.

As a teacher, he hopes that students can have as many opportunities to practice as possible.

But as a person, he admired Sheng Quan very much, and couldn't help but worry about what she would do if she suffered heavy losses and couldn't get any of her money back.

Such a conscientious entrepreneur who supports scientific research and is willing to spend money to train students would feel bad if he incurred huge losses for doing these good things.

"How could I lose so much money?" Sheng Quan had never worried about this: "Have you forgotten what my company does?"

*** “Big news!”

A young girl rushed into the dormitory and excitedly told her roommates:

"Do you know why Sheng Quan chose to invest in a few of our school's student projects?"

When the roommates who were only slightly curious heard Sheng Quan's name, they immediately became interested: "Didn't they say that she knew a big shot who graduated from our school, and that he recommended her to come here?"

If we were to rank the hot words in C University recently, Sheng Quan's name would definitely be at the top of the list.

In less than a week, all kinds of information and gossip about Sheng Quan had spread throughout the campus, including how rich she was, how wide her network of contacts was, and how strong her background was.

Don't think that college students don't gossip. No matter what their IQ or grades are, they are all in their early twenties. There are also some under 20 among them, and they are more gossipy than each other.

Especially, this is a big money sponsor!

Most students of this age are full of energy. The harder they study, the more they want to make a career.

But unfortunately, the university is like a small society in the trailer, telling them with a loud speaker that they are all wrong. It’s a good idea to delve into research projects, study hard and practice diligently, but [without money] nothing will work.

If you don’t have money to do scientific research, how can you do projects? How can you practice? How can you learn?

Poverty forced these ambitious students to stop here.

They can only work hard to find various teachers and try their best to perform well, or make friends with seniors and ask them to take them to work on projects, or scratch their heads and write papers, praying to God in the hope that they can be published.

Then, under such circumstances, a huge sum of money fell from the sky.

How could the students not regard the wealthy financial sponsor who holds such a huge sum of money as a god?

"Although, the term "god" is a bit too corny and exaggerated, isn't it?"

"Exaggerated? How can this be called an exaggeration? Forget 100 million. Even if you give me 10,000 yuan, I would be willing to burn incense and pray to the big boss every morning and evening, praying that she would be safe and prosperous every day."

A girl next to them noticed that they were off topic and got curious so she quickly brought the topic back to the topic:

"So what's the big news? Is it the reason why Shengquan came to invest in our school?"

"Oh, right, right!" The young girl's eyes lit up with excitement. "You all know that Sheng Quan has a company called Xingmang Entertainment. She invested in both "The Road of Life" and "The Cultivator." But that's not the point. The point is that Xingmang Entertainment is preparing for a big production recently."

"It is said that the theme is interstellar science fiction, and then! A senior brother in our school has already signed it, and the accompanying project includes making props for filming movies. Although they are called props, they are actually almost the same as the real thing.

This is still not the biggest point! The biggest point is!! Because the big boss values ​​that senior brother's project very much, plus there are too many additional projects, so the funding is directly given to them 50 million!"

"Fifty million?!!!"

Almost everyone opened their eyes wide in shock.

"Fifty million, I wouldn't even dream of doing this... What project is this senior brother working on? Does he need more people? Can I still apply to join now?"

The young girl was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. Because she was already shocked when she first heard about it, she was relatively calm now:

"Don't just focus on the 50 million, listen to the main point! What does it mean that the big boss is adding money to the additional projects used in the crew? It means that she is likely to choose projects that can be directly used in the crew after they produce results!"

Her eyes fell on the long-haired girl who was sitting at the desk, still immersed in the thought of "50 million": "Shu Yue, isn't your project a robot guide dog? Have you invested in it? I think this is quite suitable for filming a movie, maybe it will win."

The girl called Shu Yue was stunned, and her first reaction was that it was unlikely:

"There are too many people researching robotics. I heard that some of my seniors who have made some achievements have also applied. I think my hope is not great."

Her roommate comforted her: "Not necessarily. Didn't you ask about this project? Didn't they praise your project for its great feasibility?"

After hearing this, Gu Shuyue couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

She is the type of student that Teacher Wang described, with no fame, no mentor, an average family background, and an ordinary student who cannot be called a genius but studies hard. If Sheng Quan had not cast a wide net this time, she might have waited until she was admitted to graduate school and found a mentor before she would dare to dream of working on a project with others.

After accumulating experience like this for a year or two, if she is lucky enough to have one or two of the projects she has followed become successful, she will have a chance to establish her own project.

Even though she has been paying attention to the field of robot guide dogs since junior high school, she has accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience bit by bit. She is confident that if she starts now, she will be able to achieve some results within half a year.

But it's useless. Robotics technology is recognized as a money-burning technology, but it's also very popular. If people want to invest, they won't invest in an ordinary student like Gu Shuyue who hasn't won any award yet.

Therefore, even though Gu Shuyue said that "the possibility of winning is very low", she was still secretly looking forward to this opportunity.

Not only she is looking forward to it, but her roommates are also looking forward to it.

Gu Shuyue was afraid that her expectations would be too high and she would be disappointed, so she didn't dare to have too high expectations. However, her roommates wished that she would win eight times a day.

How does the saying go? When one person succeeds, everyone else succeeds! Gu Shuyue felt that she was ordinary, but they thought she was amazing. After all, she was only a junior, but she was able to set up a project, and Gu Shuyue was willing to lead them to work on the project together.

In other words, she is the hope of the whole dormitory.

see.

The hope of the whole dormitory was comforted by everyone for a while, and then her cell phone rang. She got up and went to the balcony to answer the call:

"Hey, Mom, I've eaten. I have enough money. How can I not have enough? Our school cafeteria is cheap and studying is not tiring. Are you all right at home? That's good. Don't worry. I'm doing well."

After talking for a few more words and asking about each other's situation, the other party hung up the phone. Gu Shuyue looked at the word "Mom" written on the address book list, and her originally tired face became firm again.

Just as she was about to continue reading, her cell phone suddenly rang with a text message.

For example, regarding the “one hundred million” this time, the school first sent a reminder text message to the students, and then the students went to the school’s official website to check the details themselves.

Gu Shuyue was thinking about whether to go to the library for a while while casually clicking on the text message.

Then, her breathing paused at this moment.

"Shuyue, I'm going to the laundry room. Do you have any clothes to take... What's wrong with you? Are you stupid?" The roommate pushed open the balcony door and was about to reach for the clothes outside. When he saw Gu Shuyue's dazed face, he was extremely confused.

Gu Shuyue opened her mouth and took several seconds to find her voice: "I, I got it..."

"What do you mean? Seeing you like this..." The roommate suddenly realized, "Win?!!! You won?!!! Sheng Quan picked you?!!!"

Gu Shuyue had no idea what to say and just nodded excitedly. She even felt that she couldn't hear clearly what her roommates were saying. She only vaguely knew that they were shouting and laughing with joy.

It was not until her roommate handed her a tissue that she realized she was crying, with tears all over her face.

Gu Shuyue was a little embarrassed at first, but her roommates were more excited than her:

"I understand! I understand! Mom! I'm so excited that I want to cry! This can at least get 10 million in funding! 10 million!!!"

"I knew it!! I knew it!! People have said on the internet that Sheng Quan only looks at ability and nothing else. Shu Yue! You work hard! Maybe you can get a raise like that senior brother!!"

Surrounded by her roommates, Gu Shuyue, with red eyes, also started laughing.

This young girl from a small city who had her own dreams felt for the first time that the road ahead was so clear. She knew clearly that this was just the beginning, and when the project officially started, she would encounter countless problems and difficulties.

But at least at this moment, she was not afraid.

Gu Shuyue held the phone tightly, as if she was holding a bright future.

In the distant small city, knowing that her daughter was fine, Mother Gu put down the phone with peace of mind, picked up her things and went out.

As soon as she went out, she met her neighbor who was also pushing the door open. She stopped and let the other person go first.

"Hey, Yueyue's mom, are you going out to buy groceries? Where's Yueyue's dad?" The neighbor didn't leave, but asked her curiously.

Mother Gu turned to her and said with a smile, "He's working overtime today, so I'll go buy it. It's just downstairs anyway, and they're all acquaintances, so I'm not afraid of being ripped off."

"There are a lot of cars downstairs today. Let's go together. I also want to go to the vegetable market." The neighbor took Gu's arm and invited her warmly.

"Okay." Mother Gu did not refuse her kindness.

She pulled out her telescopic guide stick, put on her sunglasses, and carefully put her wallet into her inner purse. After making sure nothing was left out, she smiled and said, "Let's go."

*** ——At the same time, a student who had just come out of the laboratory stretched his neck tiredly, dragged his zombie-like steps, moved slowly, and took out his mobile phone to check messages.

I checked Fetion first, then my QQ group, and finally I opened the text messages to see that there was nothing today… Huh? ! ! ! "Oh my god!! Oh my god!! Oh my god hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

A student passed by with a junior sister who was visiting here for the first time. Seeing the student laughing wildly in the hallway, she said, "Another crazy one."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. There are always crazy people doing scientific research. You'll get used to it."

On this day, many people went "crazy".

Because of the text message reminding me that the project was approved.

The originally planned three projects turned into more than thirty projects.

Although there were more than twenty projects that required funding of less than one million, Sheng Quan still did not include them in the one hundred million, but invested an additional thirty million.

——Because the research institute did not spend any money, Mr. Sheng still has a lot of money on hand.

In other words, the current situation is that one hundred million is divided into three major projects.

Ning Zhou got 50 million, Gu Shuyue got 30 million, and a student named Cheng Qixing got the remaining 20 million.

The additional investment of 30 million will be divided into 30 small projects.

The small project leaders had no idea what the three big project leaders who had taken on 100 million yuan were thinking. They only knew that they were so happy that they went crazy! What is a pleasant surprise? This is a pleasant surprise!

In particular, after the media interviewed this matter, Sheng Quan said: "Originally there were only three places, and when we first communicated with the school, we also mentioned three, but the excellence of C students exceeded our expectations, and many projects were really too good. We really couldn't bear to give up, so we chose to invest more."

"Yes, I have a script about the interstellar era. When I read it, I was very envious. I wished I could sleep into the future and see the high technology of the future. But when I saw the project books of these outstanding students and looked at their research directions one by one, I suddenly realized that I don't need to envy the future because they are creating it."

After talking about how these projects are so imaginative and exciting, Sheng Quan concluded:

“I will probably continue to invest in this way in the future. To be honest, these students have given me a big surprise. I am looking forward to the next cooperation.”

It was just a short interview, but it made many students at C University excited.

[I was wondering what was going on. They said at the beginning that they would only invest in a single-digit number of projects, but in the end, there were more than a dozen projects that I knew of. So that’s how it was.]

[There are many talented people in our school! The research project is so good that Shengquan would rather invest more than give up! ! ]

[The project I participated in was one of those thirty. Actually, I feel ashamed to say that I joined just to get experience... But when I saw Sheng Quan said so seriously that we are creating the future, and that 30 million is such a large amount of money, she must have considered it for a long time before deciding to invest. I will never join again next time.]

[Our project is also included. We, more than 20 people, swear that we will never let Mr. Sheng down! ]

[I was so excited that I cried when I received the text message, and I was excited again when I saw the news. Thank you so much, Mr. Sheng. We will definitely work hard to create a better future.]

[Sheng Quan is really nice. Last time I saw her teasing senior Hua from school and even buying food for him.]

【Tease the senior???】

[Upstairs, Senior Hua is a calico cat who often hangs around the lab building]

At first, this news was not very popular. It was only circulated among students of C University.

The discussions are basically posted on campus.

But this news is so in line with the mainstream media's aesthetic.

First of all, companies take the initiative to invest in student projects and encourage students to build their own scientific research projects on campus, which is positive energy.

Secondly, students enthusiastically applied for projects, and because there were too many excellent projects to choose from, the company finally decided to invest an additional 30 million yuan, which is also positive energy.

In the end, the students were encouraged to work hard and were full of positive energy.

It is passionate and touching, and it can also showcase the excellence of young students and encourage other entrepreneurs to jointly create a bright future for the scientific research community. It is simply perfect.

Even Sheng Quan's previous donation of 100 million yuan was not as popular as this incident in the mainstream media.

After several well-known media outlets reprinted the article, the rest of the media immediately followed suit.

Sheng Quan: I invested an additional 30 million because I saw the future they are creating

"xxx singled out Shengquan for praise, and entrepreneurs can also pay attention to scientific research"

"She threw 130 million yuan away, but the People's Daily cheered her on"

As if overnight, Sheng Quan was active on various hot search pages again.

Colleagues: “…”

It was originally said that Xingmang Entertainment was preparing a new movie recently and there would not be any major moves in the next year, but Sheng Quan suddenly did this.

Some people thought it was outrageous: "How come she can make the news for her university-enterprise cooperation?"

And the news they publish is regular news, not entertainment gossip or anything like that.

How much do people in the entertainment industry yearn for formal media? It's like being suddenly stamped with an official seal. If a celebrity artist is praised by the formal media, their fans will definitely brag about it to the sky.

Why? Scarcity makes things valuable, because regular media rarely praise entertainment-related content.

But why does this rule seem to not exist when it comes to Sheng Quan?

After some people were jealous, they consoled themselves by saying, "She doesn't appear on TV. Even if she is praised like this, the artists under her management won't get any credit. If the 130 million is only spent on this, it's not worth it."

"Yes, Mr. Sheng still likes to be in the limelight. It's just some praise from newspapers. Who reads newspapers now? Positive energy is positive energy, but it will only maintain its popularity for a while."

Then, it was on TV.
