I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

Now, the way Professor Chen looks at Jiang Hao is completely different from before.

Originally, he always had some doubts in his heart and felt that what they were talking about was unreliable.

It was only because Academician Zhang and Professor Zou were both present that he listened carefully.

Now he finally realized the situation, and for a moment his attitude towards Lu Yuan became much more polite.

"Professor Jiang, I didn't expect that you would run a company and work at a university at the same time?"

"Haha! I still focus on the company."

"To be honest, I only take public courses like career guidance in school. I dare not mislead students with professional courses."

His modesty at this time made Professor Chen have a better impression of him.

He hesitated for a while before finally speaking.

"I have not specifically been involved in the field of power lithium batteries for new energy vehicles."

"If I were the only one trying to find a solution, the cost would be relatively good."

"But if we want mature supporting facilities, we may have to build a large laboratory and carry out various simulation tests for new energy vehicles."

"Professor Jiang, this kind of car-related experiment, if the standards are higher, the cost may be nine figures."

Jiang Hao understood what Professor Chen said.

It would be easy for his laboratory to provide a supporting solution for lithium batteries.

It won’t cost too much and can be considered an ordinary horizontal project in the laboratory.

But if you want to fully implement this solution and complete the corresponding automotive testing adaptation, the cost will have to go up, which is almost two completely different concepts.

Not to mention that as the king of industry, laboratory investment in the automotive industry is itself very expensive.

In this environment, spending money on research and development of automobile-related products is a huge pressure.

"Professor Chen, money is not a problem."

Anyway, it’s not his own money that Jiang Hao is spending, so he is not worried about it at all.

Rather than letting the money eventually flow into real estate and create a huge real estate bubble, it would be better for him to intercept part of it and invest in new energy batteries.

"You can tell me what you need. I can even arrange for a new laboratory with a standard of over 100 million yuan."

"In fact, I want you to lead the laboratory and work with professors of the same field from Songshan University of Technology and Songshan Normal University to jointly build this project."

“I can’t say how much funding we have, but a few hundred million for the lab alone is definitely enough.”

Considering that after the laboratory matures, it will need to be equipped with a mature factory.

Jiang Hao’s highest standard for the laboratory is 10 billion, and this includes the cost of all equipment, manpower, and material resources required for research and development.

No matter how much more he has, he will find it a bit too much to handle. After all, it is impossible to spend all the money on research and development.

If a real enterprise factory wants to achieve assembly line and standardization, including purchasing equipment, this actually requires more funds!

"That's no problem!"

"If there really is a laboratory of this standard, I definitely can't do it by myself."

When Professor Chen heard the figure of several hundred million, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

But before he could continue, Academician Zhang on the side quickly interrupted their communication.

"How much!? Such a large-scale investment in scientific research?"

"Xiao Jiang, you are not kidding!?"

Although I thought it would not be easy to discuss cooperation with Jiang Hao, it is, after all, a horizontal topic in scientific research.

Having hundreds of millions is already a great achievement, and it was also within the expectations of Academician Zhang.

But as we talked, the number suddenly rose to 100 million!

Especially since we need to build a high-standard laboratory, the significance is completely different.

I thought I was helping Lu Yuan find Professor Chen to do something.

But if we could build a laboratory of this level for Professor Chen, it wouldn’t be a matter of who would ask whom for help.

It was really "cooperation" as Jiang Hao said at the beginning, and Professor Chen was even getting a slight advantage.

Even though Professor Chen is a Young Outstanding Scientist, he was only awarded the title in the past two years.

In fact, the funding for scientific research projects is generally at the level of several million.

Of course, this funding is for vertical projects subsidized by the state.

Generally speaking, national subsidies account for 1/3-1/5 of all his research funds, and the bulk of the funds naturally come from horizontal projects in cooperation with enterprises.

This is because Professor Chen is a Young Elite Scientist. Otherwise, the funding for an ordinary professor’s horizontal project would not be so much.

And now Jiang Hao asked for hundreds of millions of dollars in funding and a dedicated high-standard laboratory.

To be honest, even Academician Zhang himself couldn't help but be tempted.

It's a pity that the research direction is not his, but for the school as a whole.

Such a high-standard laboratory naturally deserves attention.

At this moment, even Professor Zou couldn't help but frown, with a complicated expression.

"Jiang Hao, your standards for this project are so high? Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Even though Jiang Hao is worth tens of billions, the fact that he could build the building with an investment of several hundred million made several people unable to help but confirm it again.

"Of course it's true. There will definitely be no problem with the investment funds this time."

Jiang Hao finally revealed to a few people some information about the government's rescue investment and expansion of domestic demand.

Academician Zhang seemed to know something about this matter, but he was not specifically involved.

But now he confirmed what Jiang Hao said, knowing that he was building this new high-standard laboratory and the potential of this subject.

Especially the scenes he described in the future from laboratory to mass production.

To provide specialized battery supplies for the entire new energy vehicle industry, with a scale of hundreds of billions or even trillions as he mentioned.

The value of this research becomes even more valuable, and the result is.

It was around five o'clock that afternoon.

At the time when get off work was supposed to be over, about 20 people gathered in the small academic lecture hall of Jiangnan University.

Jiang Hao was at the front, explaining to everyone his plan to build a new energy battery laboratory and the amount of research and development funding he was going to invest.

Sitting in the audience were several school leaders from three universities.

Hou Jiahua, vice president of Jiangnan University and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Vice President Wang Shuwei of Songgong University, Dean Qu Jianghua of the School of Chemistry and Biology, and several professors from the School of Chemistry and Biology.

Vice President Lin Haiyuan of Songshan Normal University, Dean Li, and Dean Lu of the School of Chemical Engineering also brought several other professors from the school.

"…The estimated funding for building the laboratory is within 300 million, and the R&D funding is tentatively set at 100 million. If it is not enough, additional funds can be added later."

All the leaders sat upright and listened carefully to his vision on new energy batteries. Of course, the main concern was the scale of funding for the laboratory.

Building a laboratory with a funding standard of over 300 million is not an easy task for the three universities.

Jiangnan University is better, with a profound foundation and billions of dollars in funding from alumni every year.

But there is never too many laboratories of this standard level.

But it is different for Songshi University. In the eyes of Vice President Lin, this laboratory is a new master's program in chemical engineering!

At this moment, he couldn't help but whisper to Dean Li beside him.

"Old Li, didn't Jiang Hao discuss this idea of ​​building a laboratory with you earlier?"
