Gu Yueming: "No problem!"
Shen Mu was overjoyed: "Regarding the price, as you know, we are just a university and can't come up with a large sum of money all at once. Could you... pay half first, and then pay the rest within the stipulated time?"
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yueming cut him off again.
With a wave of her hand, she declared generously, "I'll pay for these eight robots myself; consider it my sponsorship of your esteemed school!"
Shen Mu: "!!!"
Wait, let him catch his breath; his legs seem a little weak.
Even Song Yi was stunned by Gu Yueming's extravagant gesture.
It's important to know that the price of a single intelligent robot produced by the Qin family on the market has reached nearly 80 million yuan, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary families or powerful organizations.
Only wealthy and powerful families would be willing to spend such a high price to buy it.
But most of them buy these things not only because they find them novel and convenient, but also to show off.
—For those people, spending 80 million to buy an AI robot is not much different from spending 80 million to buy a luxury piece of jewelry.
However, Song Yi and several senior professors at the school had studied the matter and found that the AI robots developed by the Qin family were far more useful than simply doing some daily chores.
Its sensitivity, response speed, detection accuracy, and so on are fully comparable to, or even surpass, some existing intelligent products in professional fields.
Moreover, its functions are more comprehensive and powerful.
To be honest, Song Yi felt that the price of 80 million was still too low for the Qin family.
According to his estimate, the cost of these robots alone would be 50 to 60 million yuan per unit. In addition, there are various research and development expenses, publicity expenses, engineer salary subsidies and so on. The total cost would probably be close to 70 million yuan per unit.
The profit from one machine is probably not even ten million.
Even though Qin's family has lowered the price, a robot costing 80 million is still beyond the reach of universities like Tianjin University.
This refers to purchasing in large quantities.
Eight units should be the maximum quantity that Shenmu can purchase; any more would disrupt the school's normal operations.
Even so, we still have to follow Shen Mu's advice and pay a portion first, then pay the remaining balance in installments.
But now all the problems were solved with a wave of Gu Yueming's hand.
Eight robots, each costing 80 million yuan, totaling 640 million yuan—that's an incredible amount of money and sponsorship!
It was so bad that Qin Sheng wanted to cover her mother's mouth!
Although she has now paid off her debts and has some savings over the past few months, she no longer needs to be as obsessed with making and raising money as before.
But no matter how unattached you are, it's still heartbreaking to give away more than 600 million yuan in one go!
...even though it was her mother's money.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but glare at her mother, her temples throbbing.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
never mind.
Her father said that he and her brothers earned money for her and her mother to spend, so it's okay to spend a little.
At least it's a sponsorship for Tianjin University.
Let's consider it a contribution to the country's education and scientific research.
Shen Mu carefully observed the expressions on their faces. Seeing that neither of them showed any regret or anger, he knew they were serious.
They were even more excited than before.
Of course, there were also feelings of emotion and being moved.
"Thank you, Mrs. Qin and Qin Sheng, for your support of Tianjin University. Rest assured, the university will take good care of and make good use of these robots, and will definitely not waste their value!" Shen Mu said earnestly.
His words of thanks were quite official, but the gratitude and solemnity in his eyes were genuine, and his attitude was very sincere.
Qin Sheng's heartache subsided slightly, and she nodded gently, saying, "You're too kind, Principal."
They chatted for a few more minutes, and apart from feeling a little heartbroken, the conversation was generally harmonious.
But while they made peace, the man who had only managed to say one sentence before being interrupted was not in a good mood.
He snorted loudly, interrupting the conversation, and sneered, "So you're a big shot in the financial world. No wonder you don't even respect Dean Wei!"
Shen Mu arrived later and was unaware of what had happened before. Hearing this, he was stunned and his gaze swept back and forth between the man, Gu Yueming, and Qin Sheng.
He frowned slightly, then put on a friendly smile to smooth things over, saying, "Isn't this Committee Member Li from the Academy of Sciences? It's an honor for Tianjin University that you've come to participate in our assessment this time!"
Li Hanchang snorted and said, "Whether there's an assessment or not, it's not always necessary. To tell Principal Shen the truth, I came here today because I heard that Dean Wei came to Tianjin University, so I came specifically to see him and ask him for some advice, but I didn't expect..."
He stared at Gu Yueming, his anger growing even stronger: "I didn't expect that before I could even speak to Dean Wei, I would hear someone spouting nonsense, making up stories about Dean Wei, and saying things that have no basis whatsoever!"
Li Hanchang took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said coldly, "I've heard of the Qin family, and their latest AI robot is indeed impressive, but that's not enough to justify Mrs. Qin speaking ill of Dean Wei!"
"The Qin family's achievements in IT are certainly significant, but they are far inferior to those of Dean Wei!"
"Novel computational models, super microbial decomposition technology, paleontological gene extraction technology, four-dimensional biological model restoration technology... How many contributions has Dean Wei and his researchers made to various industries in China?!"
"They work day and night, exhausting themselves for the development of humanity and the progress of society. All that they have done is incomparable to a single intelligent project of the Qin family, and it cannot be tarnished by anyone!"
"Apologize! You must apologize!" Li Hanchang stared intently at Gu Yueming and said resolutely.
Gu Yueming finally understood what aspect the other party meant by "apology".
Although she knew she was telling the truth, Gu Yueming still subconsciously shrank her shoulders, perhaps because the other party's tone was too firm and their aura too strong.
This person is so fierce, she's so scared...
Qin Sheng immediately pulled her mother behind her.
To be honest, what this person said was not wrong. It stemmed from his respect and admiration for Wei Zhenyun, and he could not tolerate others disrespecting his idol.
But it's a bit too idealistic.
No one is perfect, and Wei Zhenyun is no exception. What her mother said was just normal and true.
Even if he doesn't like hearing it, he has no right to demand an apology from someone on a righteous standpoint.
not to mention……
"Even if my mother didn't mean to tarnish Wei Zhenyun's reputation or those projects, and even if she said something inappropriate, neither I nor Dean Wei would care. Why are you making such a fuss?" Qin Sheng said coldly.
Li Hanchang was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses he almost burst out laughing: "Forget about Dean Wei, what do you mean you don't care? What do those projects have to do with you? Who are you to care?"
He glanced at Qin Sheng with utter disdain and sneered, "Who do you think you are!"
