Chapter 111 Joint Research and Development Center
After thanking Factory Director Qi Yong, Zhao Yuan prepared to go to the Provincial Agricultural University.
Qi Yong stopped Zhao Yuan and instructed Brother Chen to take Zhao Yuan to the Provincial Agricultural University.
Soon Zhao Yuan arrived at the Provincial Agricultural University. Based on the information he had gathered, he went straight to the Animal Husbandry Department office to find Professor Bai Hui.
Zhao Yuan arrived at the door, gently knocked, and asked:
"Is Professor Bai Hui here?"
A gentle voice answered from inside the house:
"Come in, I am the one."
Zhao Yuan pushed open the door and walked into the office, where he saw a middle-aged woman wearing glasses sitting at the table writing something.
She looked up at Zhao Yuan and said with a smile:
"You must be Zhaoyuan. Qi Yong has already called me. Please have a seat."
As she spoke, Professor Bai Hui prepared to get up and make tea.
Zhao Yuan quickly stepped forward and said to Professor Bai Hui:
"Professor Bai, please have a seat. Let me do it."
He first filled Professor Bai Hui's teacup with water, and then brewed himself a steaming cup of tea.
After the two were seated, Professor Bai Hui asked with a smile:
"Now you can tell me what you wanted to see me about, right?"
Zhao Yuan cleared his throat and said seriously:
“I own a pig farm and a food factory in Jinyang County. I am here today to see if we can cooperate with your school. Our pig farm plans to achieve an annual output of 5000 pigs in the second half of this year.”
Upon hearing this, Professor Bai Hui's eyes lit up, and she asked with great interest:
"So how exactly do you plan to collaborate?"
"I'd like to ask if we can apply to have you set up a research group at my pig farm. Our pig farm will cover the housing and salaries of the expert team members, and we will share the research results. Do you think this is feasible?"
Zhao Yuan asked in a consultative tone.
Bai Hui hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but nodded to indicate that she was willing to consider it.
Knowing that many universities lack research funding, Zhao Yuan explained his ideas in detail and proposed a detailed cooperation plan.
This plan includes the research group's organizational structure, research direction, and the distribution of rights and interests between the two parties.
Bai Hui was pleasantly surprised by the cooperation proposal put forward by Zhao Yuan, because it not only solved the school's funding problem, but also provided students with practical opportunities, and at the same time helped to promote research progress in related fields.
She immediately said she would convene a school meeting as soon as possible to discuss the feasibility of the plan.
Zhao Yuan was very happy to hear this, and he felt that his trip to the Agricultural University was truly worthwhile.
Next, he asked Bai Hui to order 200 piglets. After some bargaining, they finally agreed on a price of 7 yuan per piglet.
After thanking Bai Hui, Zhao Yuan followed Brother Chen and drove away from the Agricultural University.
In the car, Zhaoyuan suddenly remembered something, and he turned to Brother Chen and said:
"Brother Chen, would it be convenient for you to go to Aoshan Village?"
Aoshan Village is right next to the provincial capital. It's not far from the Agricultural University. In his previous life, he was born in Aoshan Village. Later, he went to the city to live with his parents while studying, but his grandparents always lived in Aoshan Village. He wanted to go and see his grandparents at that time.
"Okay, nothing's planned for this afternoon."
With that, the two drove towards Aoshan Village.
But when they arrived at Aoshan Village, it was nothing like the village they had lived in in their previous life. Zhaoyuan and Brother Chen drove around the village and got out to ask if the village name was correct, but they didn't recognize their grandparents at all.
Zhao Yuan looked at the road leading into the village and it was indeed familiar, but once inside the village, he couldn't find his home at all, and there were no familiar faces around.
Zhao Yuan was completely disheartened. The world he was reborn into should be on the same level as his previous life, and they could not intersect.
Zhao Yuan had no choice but to drive back to the provincial chemical plant with Brother Chen.
Dinner was arranged at a newly opened restaurant next to the provincial chemical plant.
In addition to Qi Yong, the director of the provincial chemical plant, and Luo Zongguang, the secretary of the provincial party committee, and other middle-level cadres of the company, the attendees of this dinner also included Bai Bin, the secretary of the provincial party committee, and Bai Hui, a professor at the provincial agricultural university.
It wasn't until the meal that Zhao Yuan unexpectedly learned that Professor Bai Hui was not only the vice president of the agricultural university, but also the wife of Factory Director Qi Yong, and the younger sister of Secretary Bai Bin.
During the meal, Secretary Bai Bin repeatedly praised Zhao Yuan, believing that he had successfully saved the country from huge losses and made foreign businessmen no longer dare to easily cheat the Chinese people.
Today, the name of Zhao Yuan has become a nightmare for these foreign businessmen.
Then, Secretary Bai Bin turned to Bai Hui and said:
"Bai Hui, your school must provide full assistance regarding Comrade Zhao Yuan's matter. This will be beneficial for both sides."
Bai Hui responded with a smile:
"I understand, don't worry! Our school will definitely give its full support to such a good thing. Besides, Comrade Zhaoyuan has been so helpful to Qi Yong."
Bai Hui then informed Zhao Yuan in detail about the results of the school's discussion that afternoon.
The university has shown great interest in this collaboration, believing it will not only enhance the university's research capabilities but also provide students with valuable practical opportunities.
After a heated discussion, the school unanimously agreed to cooperate with Zhaoyuan and proposed a brand new plan.
According to this plan, the school will send students to pig farms for internships, allowing them to experience firsthand the actual operation and processes of pig farming.
At the same time, the school plans to establish a practical teaching base at the pig farm in order to better organize and manage students' internship activities.
In this way, Zhao Yuan's pig farm naturally became the school's practice base, allowing students to participate in various scientific research projects under the guidance of professionals.
Zhao Yuan showed great interest in the proposal and expressed his willingness to cooperate actively.
He believes that this cooperation model can provide more practical opportunities for schools and supply urgently needed talents to pig farms, achieving a win-win situation.
In addition, the establishment of the research group can not only help Zhaoyuan's pig farm improve breeding efficiency, but also cultivate a group of outstanding agricultural science and technology talents.
“Principal Bai, I think we could consider establishing a joint research and development center specifically to handle university-enterprise cooperation. This would reduce the financial burden of research and development for the university, benefit enterprises, and allow your research results to be promoted and applied more promptly.”
Zhao Yuan excitedly said that school-enterprise cooperation was a very common win-win model in the past, but it is still a very novel term at this stage.
"A joint research and development center? Comrade Zhaoyuan, could you tell me more about it?"
Bai Hui perked up immediately upon hearing this; she was very curious about this new term.
