Relying on the research results during his doctoral period, Wang Guanwu was promoted to associate professor in the second year after arriving at Nanhua University. However, since then, he has been sitting on the bench, and his appointment as professor is far away.

It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, it’s not that he’s incompetent, it’s that there are no results.

Why no results?

Because I can’t apply for the project.

Why can’t I apply for a project?

Due to the national financial difficulties in the past two years, scientific research funding has been cut by more than half. Nanhua University is only an ordinary university in the province, and its annual scientific research funding allocation is only a few million yuan.

There are too many monks and too few people, so it is impossible for the school to cover everything. And his research direction is not a key subject of Nanhua, and he is not a key support and development target of Nanhua.

In some liberal arts majors, you can sit in the office, smoke cigarettes, drink tea, flip through books, and brag to solve the subject.

But science and engineering are different from liberal arts. They require experiments and production practice, all of which require real money investment.

And the investment is not a small amount. Just buying the raw materials for an experiment costs hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Most teachers' salaries are not that high.

Therefore, you can only apply for scientific research funding.

If you can't apply for a topic, you won't have research funding. Without research funding, even if you have a good research direction, you won't have the money to carry out research.

So we fell into a vicious cycle of "no research results - no application for projects - no scientific research funds - no research results".

Now Wang Guanwu can only teach students and help others with some chores.

At first, he felt that he should sit on the bench and sit on the bench. As long as he studied in a down-to-earth manner, there would always be opportunities.

But in the past two years, many of my colleagues around me have made money in various ways, setting up self-funded college classes, training college classes on behalf of others, setting up entities, starting companies, and providing services. All kinds of income-generating activities with many names have appeared on campus.

Many people not only made money, but also had their professional titles improved.

He was not worried about scarcity but about inequality. Comparing people to each other was irritating. His mentality finally changed.

But because of face, I still can’t let go and actively look for projects.

If Mr. Chen Junzhong hadn’t taken the initiative to introduce him this time, he really wouldn’t have been able to take this step.

"For a sum of 20,000 yuan, sign a commissioned research agreement and take your Nanhua account.

The remaining 10,000 will be given directly to you in cash after the patent application is approved."

Originally, Ding Zhiyuan could directly give Wang Guanwu 30,000 yuan, which was equivalent to Wang Guanwu using school equipment and instruments for private work.

But after all, it was the first time to cooperate. To be on the safe side, Ding Zhiyuan still felt that it would be better to cooperate through the school platform.

If you sign a commissioned research agreement through a school, you have to go through the school’s account.

This method has no impact on Ding Zhiyuan, as he only needs to transfer the money to Nanhua's financial account, but it is very troublesome for Wang Guanwu.

If Wang Guanwu needs to use funds, he can either apply for a loan from the school finance office and then use the invoice to offset the account, or he can advance the money himself and then use the invoice for reimbursement.

In addition, the school will also deduct a certain percentage of management fees, ranging from two or three points to five or six points.

The most troublesome thing is that the money is nominally yours, but you cannot spend it freely.

For example, if you want to improve your life and buy yourself a TV, if you take the invoice for the TV for reimbursement, it will definitely be returned.

In this case, the only labor fee can be paid, but the labor fee cannot be set as much as you want. It generally does not exceed 20% of the total research funds, and it needs to fall on the specific person.

In short, if you keep school accounts, just reimbursement will make you shed a layer of skin.

Ding Zhiyuan spent several years in school in his last life, so he shouldn't be too familiar with the ways here.

Twenty thousand yuan went to Nanhua Finance's account, which was equivalent to Nanhua's guarantee. It was insuring himself.

Ten thousand yuan is given directly to Wang Guanwu, which is equivalent to Wang Guanwu's performance bonus. He can spend the money at will, but the premise is that he must wait until the invention patent application is approved.

This not only protects Ding Zhiyuan's interests, but also increases Wang Guanwu's enthusiasm, a win-win situation!

Thirty thousand yuan?

Thirty thousand yuan!

Wang Guanwu couldn't believe it, so many!

Before coming here, he thought that if the other party offered five to six thousand yuan, he would do it. If he could give ten thousand yuan, that would be even better.

But no matter what, he never expected to get 30,000 yuan in research funding.

He was not stupid at all, and he immediately understood the benefits of Ding Zhiyuan's arrangement.

He didn't even get a share of the 20,000 yuan that went into the school's accounts, and in the end he still had 10,000 yuan left to pocket.

The most important thing is that he can use these ten thousand yuan freely, how he wants to use it, and when he wants to use it!

Done!

Not only do you have to do it well, but you also have to do it hard and fast!

With this extra income, I can have a good year with my wife and children this year!

He can't wait to get the 10,000 yuan. The day lilies will be cold next May!

There are still five months left before the Chinese New Year, which is enough time!

It took two days to complete the commissioned research, and 20,000 yuan was transferred to Nanhua Finance's account.

On this trip south, he brought a total of 155,000 yuan, of which 5,000 yuan was a "congratulatory gift" from Liao Fugui.

In the past half month or so, he has spent less than one thousand yuan on renting a house, buying treasury bills, and other bits and pieces, and now he still has 134,000 yuan left on hand.

He set aside 1,000 yuan for living expenses this semester and 10,000 yuan for purchasing appliances. He decided to use all the remaining 123,000 yuan to buy treasury bills.

But he had hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he had no way to buy it.

On Sunday afternoon, Ding Zhiyuan gave himself a half-day holiday.

After getting up from a nap, I went to the vegetable market and bought a few kilograms of mutton, two pork ribs, and some fresh vegetables.

He plans to eat hotpot mutton in the evening.

When you get home, wash the pork ribs, blanch them, and then stew them. By the time it's dinner time in the evening, the bone soup can be used to stir-fry the mutton.

I took out the copper pot I bought last Sunday, washed it inside and out, and put it in the small yard to dry.

I made a pot of tea and was about to take it to the small courtyard to read when I heard someone knocking on the door.

Who is this uninvited guest?

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Old Man Chen's son, standing outside the door with a black leather bag and a shy belly.

"Brother Chen, why are you here?" Although there were questions on his forehead, Ding Zhiyuan still invited Chen Kai in enthusiastically.

Chen Kai said half-truthfully, "I just went to BJ East Road to do some errands. I was just passing by. I was just passing by."

Naturally, Ding Zhiyuan didn't believe his nonsense, and several idioms popped into his mind instantly: Go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, be courteous for nothing, weasels pay New Year greetings to roosters...

He doesn't have such prejudice against Old Chen, but he doesn't like Old Chen's two children.
