Start with a fake university

After listening to Ding Yue's introduction about biomedical engineering at Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, Yang Kai Ning couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's unbelievable that President Ding your Mist City University of Arts and Sciences is able to research 3D bio-printer and its related technologies."

In the opinion of Professor Yang Kaining, biomedicine involving 3D bio-printer and its core technology is a very cutting-edge field in the entire world.

For Mist City University of Arts and Sciences to be able to already have a 3D bioprinter and related core technology is already very remarkable.

If this had been the case in the past, Professor Yang Kaining would never have believed that Ding's words were true.

It seemed more like he was trying to deceive people.

However, ever since Professor Yang Kaining saw Misty City University of Arts and Sciences win the last ACM International Undergraduate Programming Competition in Zurich, Professor Yang Kaining has been impressed by this university.

"Professor Yang, at present, the 3D bioprinter and its core technology of Wusheng University of Arts and Sciences are actually approaching maturity, and the only problem we are facing now is the biomaterial for the 3D bioprinter."

Ding Yue truthfully told Professor Yang Kai Ning about the problems he faced in the biomedical engineering project at Mist City University of Arts and Sciences: "By coincidence, the director of our Mist City Central Hospital, Jiang Zhongbai, had read your article before and told me that Professor Yang had researched in the area of biomaterials, so I came over to find you personally. "

Soon Ding Yue got to the point, and did not drag his feet at all.

Professor Yang Kaining nodded slightly after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I am a student of biological science, in fact, biological science is closely related to biomedicine.

Hearing Professor Yang Kaining say this, Xu Dongcheng suddenly got excited: "Then Professor Yang, has your research ...... has made any progress or results?"

Perhaps Xu Dongcheng's words were slightly abrupt, Professor Yang Kaining couldn't help but look at Xu Dongcheng with some confusion, wondering what Xu Dongcheng meant by this question.

Could it be that he wanted the technology or results of his own research on biological tissue materials?

"Professor Yang, the thing is like this, President Xu and I are very good friends, our Mist City University of Arts and Sciences and Xiguang University are also domestic private allied universities, President Xu and they are also involved in our Mist City University of Arts and Sciences biomedical engineering project."

Ding Yue quickly gave an explanation.

When Professor Yang heard it, he understood what was going on.

In fact, Ding didn't tell us the important reason why Xu Dongcheng was a bit excited and abrupt, saying that President Xu Dongcheng's Xiguang University had participated and cooperated with Mist City University of Arts and Sciences in the biomedical engineering project.

After all, President Xu Dongcheng directly invested 100 million yuan in the biomedical engineering project of his own Mist City University of Arts and Sciences.

And this 100 million investment does not take into account the income, patent technology and so on.

"So, President Ding, you came all the way to Zurich this time to invite me to join your university's biomedical engineering?"

Professor Yang Kaining's question was very direct.

It was a bit surprising to Ding Yue, seeing that Professor Yang was so direct, he nodded his head and said: "Yes, yes, that's what he meant."

Professor Yang Kaining suddenly sighed and said, "To be honest, I still believe in President Ding's Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, after all, it's not the first time we've been in contact, and I'm also very interested in your university's biomedical engineering project, only ......".

Ding Yue's heart thudded a little when he heard Professor Yang Kaining say "only".

The probability was that he was not willing to accept the invitation to participate in the biomedical engineering project of Mist City University of Arts and Sciences.

If Professor Yang Kai-ning doesn't go, the progress of the whole biomedical project will definitely be delayed for some time.

"Professor Yang ...... I wonder what the reason is?" Ding Yue quickly asked.

"I am currently engaged in teaching and research at ETH Zurich, and I have a contract with ETH Zurich, which is one of the reasons, and the other is that recently, I am conducting a biological research with a group of doctoral students.

Prof. Yang explained in detail to Ding Yue why he might not be able to accept the invitation.

"Ah this ......"

Ding Yue could not say anything else.

After all, Professor Yang Kai-ning had made it very clear that it was not that he was unwilling to accept the invitation to temporarily go to Fog City University of Arts and Sciences to participate in the biomedical engineering project.

It was because he was really unable to get away from his work, not to mention his contract with ETH Zurich, but Professor Yang Kaining had just said that he was doing biological research with a group of important doctoral students.

After all, if the progress of biological research is delayed, it will delay the graduation progress of this group of excellent ETH Zurich doctoral students, which is a responsibility that Professor Yang Kai-ning cannot afford.

Xu Dongcheng also understood the meaning of Professor Yang Kai-ning's words, and a sense of loss was instantly revealed on his face.

But he could not say anything.

We can't ask him to ignore the contract with ETH Zurich and give up the biology research with his doctoral students and go to Mist City University of Arts and Sciences to participate in biomedical engineering, can we?

It was almost impossible.

But Xu Dongcheng didn't want to give up just yet, so he reached out his hand and gently tugged on Ding Yue's clothes.

Ding felt Principal Xu Dongcheng gently tugging on his clothes, and he suddenly understood what Principal Xu Dongcheng meant.

He definitely wanted to make himself fight for it again.

"But Professor Yang, our 3D bioprinters and technology are really just short of your biological tissue materials, so if we can't, we can spend money on ......."

Ding Yue knew that talking about money was usually the last step.

For someone doing experimental research, money is very important, but in the case of Professor Yang Kaining, it may not be so important.

Because Professor Yang Kai-ning must be well-fed and well-fed by now, and then at ETH Zurich, if he wants to do any research, he can apply for money from the university.

Hearing Ding Yue talk about money, Prof. Yang Kaining suddenly became silent.

When Ding saw this, he felt as if he had a plan.

Because Ding considered that, although Professor Yang Kaining's teaching and experimental research at ETH Zurich was not bad in terms of money, in the end, part of his research results would belong to ETH Zurich.

Unless Professor Yang Kaining pays for all of his experimental research out of his own pocket.

This, then, is ruthless capital!

"Professor Yang, tell me, how much!" Xu Dongcheng also saw that it seemed as if he could spend money on Professor Yang Kaining's technology of biological tissue materials, so he immediately stood up, stepped forward and asked.

"President Xu, don't be anxious, I think Professor Yang you should have other considerations, right?" Ding had the feeling that it was not about money.

If it was just about money, Professor Yang should have explained it at the beginning.

Professor Yang sighed again, nodded his head and said: "Indeed, President Ding, don't look at doing research in foreign countries as very secure, but in fact, foreign capital controls the funding of research to a dead end. What a word."

"Because someone else is paying for it, right?" Ding Yue could feel the frustration in Professor Yang's words.

"Yes."

Professor Yang Kai Ning took a deep breath and said, "Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about returning to China, but it's too difficult to get a large amount of R&D funds in China, and it's not that easy abroad. It's easy to go wrong if the application field is not standardized."

"Professor Yang, I understand your feelings."

After Ding Yue heard the words, he felt that this was an opportunity.

"Professor Yang ......" When Xu Dongcheng was about to say something, he was immediately pressed down by Ding Yue.

At this time, President Xu Dongcheng should not say more, lest he might say something wrong.

This is because Ding could feel that Professor Yang Kai-ning, as a top figure in the field of biological sciences, has a scale in his heart.

If the average person is not sure of this scale, it is very easy for the conversation to collapse.

At this moment, Ding Yue was trying to figure out the scale in Professor Yang's heart.

"Professor Yang, if you can come to our Fog City University of Arts and Sciences, not only can we provide you with a research environment and funding that doesn't belong to ETH Zurich, we will also respect your opinion on some of your research results, would you like to consider it?"

Ding Yue directly threw an olive branch towards Professor Yang Kai Ning.

If we don't throw an olive branch at this time, when will we wait?

Ding felt that this was the perfect opportunity for Professor Yang Kai-ning to reveal his "frustration" at ETH Zurich.

He said, "Oh?"

Professor Yang Kai-ning did not just reject it at first, but was a little surprised.

This made Ding Yue feel that there might be something in it.

It would be very cool if he could directly poach Professor Yang Kaining to his own Mist City University of Arts and Sciences.

It would be like getting to the point in one step, and if we could poach Professor Yang Kai-ning, then it would be a simple and easy task to apply his biological tissue material technology to the 3D bioprinter, wouldn't it?

"President Ding, this is a very important matter, and I can't ...... just because of what you said."

Professor Yang Kai Ning also did not respond to this invitation of Ding Yue at the first time.

"I understand, I naturally understand this." Ding nodded his head and said with a smile.

Before Professor Yang Kai-ning came, Ding had drunk a lot of water, and now he wanted to go to the washroom, so he stood up and asked, "Professor Yang, which side is the washroom?"

" at ...... It just so happens that I want to go there too." Professor Yang Kaining smiled at the situation, then got up from his office chair and took Ding Yue with him to the restroom.

Xu Dongcheng was very anxious to be here.

Will this be a deal or not? But he was not in a position to ask directly, so he could only look at President Ding.

When he finished washing his hands, Professor Yang Kaining suddenly asked about President Xu Dongcheng: "President Ding, I see that President Xu Dongcheng seems to be very anxious about whether I can participate in your school's biomedical engineering. Not just why?"

"Alas, this matter, it's a long story."

Ding Yue saw Professor Yang Kai-ning asking about this, and then he sighed, ready to talk about this card of President Xu Dongcheng.

That's right.

President Xu Dongcheng's situation was a "card" that Ding had prepared temporarily, which could be considered as an emotional card.

But when I was chatting with Professor Yang Kai-ning just now, I didn't have a chance to talk about it.

As Professor Yang Kaining asked about it, Ding was ready to play this card to see if it can increase the possibility of Professor Yang Kaining's participation in biomedical engineering or willingness to come to Mist City University of Arts and Sciences.

"Oh?"

After washing his hands, Professor Yang did not rush back to his office.

It looks like he is going to listen to what Ding Yue has to say about Principal Xu Dongcheng.

"President Xu Dongcheng had a daughter who had just reached adulthood and was at a good time in her life, but she ended up with liver disease, and with President Xu's financial strength, it's not a problem to spend money to treat her.

Ding Yue roughly told Professor Yang about President Xu Dongcheng's situation.

"So ...... Principal Xu is pinning his hopes on 3D bioprinting technology?" Professor Yang Kai Ning said with a slight frown.

"That's right."

Ding Yue nodded his head.

As expected of Professor Yang Kaining, as soon as he heard himself introduce Principal Xu Dongcheng's situation, he immediately thought of some of the connections.

"No wonder Principal Xu just ...... life is priceless, not to mention a girl in her youth."

Professor Yang Kai Ning sighed and continued, "Alas, it's just that ...... If this 3D bioprinting technology is really going to mature and be used, I'm afraid it will still take some time, right?"

"Yes, but as long as you, Professor Yang, can provide us with the technology for biological tissue materials, I think it will be very fast, definitely within this year." Ding Yue saw Professor Yang Kai Ning ask this question and felt as if there was a bit of drama.

"President Ding is so confident?" Professor Yang Kai Ning's eyes were very serious as he looked at Ding Yue and asked.

"That's right!" Ding Yue nodded firmly: "The 3D bioprinters and related technologies of our Mist City University of Arts and Sciences will definitely be the most advanced in the world, and with your biological tissue material technology, 3D bioprinting can be applied to the biomedical field and save one life at a time."
