"Principal Ding just finished speaking with Principal Sun from Qinghua University and Principal Zhu from Yancheng University, and now he is preparing to speak with Principal He from Xia Country University of Science and Technology?"
Xu Dongcheng once again admired Principal Ding’s ability to take action. He really was impressive!
"Principal He, hello."
After walking over, Ding Yue greeted Principal He with great respect and courtesy.
"Hello, you are... Principal Ding from Mist City Arts and Science University, aren’t you?" Principal He thought for a while to recall who the man standing in front of him was.
Who else could the young principal attending this University Principals’ Forum be but Ding Yue from Mist City Arts and Science University?
"Yes, that’s right, it’s . Principal He, you know about ?" Ding Yue replied with a smile and a nod.
"The energetic young Principal Ding, who doesn’t know about you? Even Deputy Director Qiu endorsed your Mist City Arts and Science University."
Principal He also said with a smile.
From the Principal He’s tone and expression, Ding Yue preliminarily judged that he was a similar type of person to Principal Zhu- easy to approach, giving off a kind aura.
However, it was clear that Principal He was younger than Principal Zhu. Although it was unknown how much younger he was in terms of age, his face looked more youthful and energetic.
It was unknown why Principal Zhu appeared to be a man in his sixties or seventies.
"Principal He, you flatter ." said Ding Yue modestly.
"Principal Ding, tell . Since you took the initiative to co and see , I presu you have sothing to discuss?" Principal He glanced at Ding Yue and asked seriously.
As expected of an experienced university principal, he imdiately noticed that Ding Yue had sothing to discuss.
"Well... So, it’s like this, we at Mist City Arts and Science University have procured a set of equipnt in the field of Energy Chemical Technology. Energy Chemical Engineering is a priority developnt major in our university, and I was hoping that your university, the Xia Country University of Science and Technology, which has a dostic first-class Energy Chemical Engineering major, could offer so advice."
Ding Yue directly stated his purpose for coming.
However, Ding Yue did not imdiately ntion anything about establishing cooperation, after all, he was unfamiliar with Principal He.
This was, after all, their first eting.
"Oh, you an the equipnt ordered from Nanyang Technological University, right?" Principal He quickly rembered, as soon as he heard the explanation.
"Yes, yes, precisely that set of equipnt." Ding Yue hurriedly nodded.
"Why would a privately-run university purchase such a set of equipnt?" Principal He furrowed his brows and asked curiously.
In Principal He’s view, although Nanyang Technological University’s Energy Chemical Technology Research Equipnt was the most advanced in the world, it did not seem to be very practical in Xia Country.
The Xia Country University of Science and Technology had once considered importing the equipnt, but the proposal was ultimately rejected.
The major aspects of Xia Country’s current energy chemical technology were already well-advanced, with nuclear, solar, wind, and hydro energy providing more than sufficient capacities.
While the equipnt from Nanyang Technological University could also be used for research in nuclear, solar, and chemical fuel energy, it leaned more toward specialized clean energy research.
However, Xia Country was lagging behind in several aspects of this field.
For instance, the equipnt could be used for research in graphene energy technology, but the current graphene reserves in Xia Country are limited.
"Our Departnt of Chemistry at Mist City Arts and Science University is planning to study energy efficiency technology."
Ding Yue answered.
"I recall that your sister, the College Entrance Examination Champion of Mist City, is in the Departnt of Chemistry at your university, isn’t she?"
Principal He recalled the widely circulated news from the sumr break - Ding Yue’s younger sister, Ding Xiaoyou, beca the Mist City Science College Entrance Examination Champion and, interestingly, rejected offers from Qinghua University and Yancheng University to join the private university run by her own elder brother.
This choice left many puzzled.
At least Principal He was initially puzzled, but after learning that Mist City Arts and Science University had bought 145 million yuan worth Energy Chemical Technology experintal equipnt from Nanyang Technological University, he began to understand sowhat.
"Yes, Principal He, and I’ll tell you honestly that we bought that equipnt specifically for my sister. She plans to use it for energy technology research, which she is interested in."
Ding Yue answered Principal He’s question truthfully.
"Your sister must be exceptionally gifted in this field. then why didn’t she consider coming to Xia Country University of Science and Technology? If she wanted to research energy technology, she could have also gone to Xia Country University of Chemical Technology or Xia Country Petroleum University."
Principal He still felt that Ding Xiaoyou shouldn’t have chosen her brother’s Mist City Arts and Science University.
Ding Yue could sense Principal He’s standpoint but didn’t make excuses. The decision was his sister’s to make, and he firmly believed that Ding Xiaoyou made the right choice.
Therefore, if they kept discussing this matter, he anticipated that the conversation would end with both parties leaving on a negative note.
"Well... perhaps my sister wanted to stay in Mist City more." Ding Yue replied sowhat unconfidently.
It was indeed a difficult question to answer.
How could Ding Yue tell Principal He that by staying at Mist City Arts and Science University, his sister could benefit from the system’s "learning boost"?
Instead, Principal He sighed, shook his head slightly, and said: "Principal Ding, I’ll be frank with you. The equipnt that your university purchased from Nanyang Technological University is not cost-effective."
