Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2059 Academic Prestige
Liang Zuoxin met with Xu Yuanshan and others again, while Yang Xiaotao shook hands with the team members who got off the bus one by one, encouraged them, and then came to Wang Guangmei who was standing nearby after getting off the bus.

"Teacher Wang, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your hard work, teachers."

Yang Xiaotao looked at everyone and spoke kindly.

When Wang Guangmei saw Yang Xiaotao coming, she immediately introduced Yang Xiaotao to everyone.

"Comrades, this is the Comrade Yang Xiaotao whom I mentioned to you all, Teacher Yang."

"He is also the first biologist in our country to publish a paper in the foreign journal Nature."

After Wang Guangmei said this, the people around immediately turned their eyes to Yang Xiaotao, and applause broke out.

"Teacher Yang, I'm Wang Liguo, nice to meet you."

A man stepped forward and stretched out his hands, which Yang Xiaotao quickly shook.

"Hello, Teacher Wang."

"Teacher Yang, I am Chen Feng from the School of Biology, nice to meet you"

"Teacher Yang, I am Xu Fanghua from the Institute. I have read your articles and I admire you very much."

"Teacher Yang, your innovative spirit."

In an instant, a circle of people surrounded Yang Xiaotao, and each of them looked at him eagerly and extended a hand of kindness to him.

From them, Yang Xiaotao felt a feeling he had never experienced in the machinery factory before.

Maybe it feels a bit familiar when you are in class at school.

But now, it is even stronger.

That feeling is a kind of identification, a kind of desire, and even more a pursuit of scientific truth.

Yang Xiaotao could feel pure friendship from them.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao felt a sense of self-denial.

Deny the previous conclusion.

Maybe it's good to be more naive when with them.

Be a pure scientific worker.

Perhaps, this is the path I should have taken in the beginning.

Yang Xiaotao shook hands with everyone one by one, then listened to them introduce themselves and said, "I'm glad to meet you."

And everyone also had a new understanding of Yang Xiaotao.

On the way here, I heard people traveling with me talking about Yang Xiaotao's deeds, and some even took out newspapers to look at the pictures on them.

Everyone thinks that such an outstanding young man must be a proud person.

Especially if they are both "literati", they will tend to look down on each other.

But looking at the young man in front of them, their first impression was that he was humble and polite, and his eyes were full of sincerity and even respect.

Respect their profession and respect their work.

After Yang Xiaotao shook hands with everyone, he felt even more deeply touched.

These are a group of people who deserve respect.

Perhaps, using the identity of Teacher Yang, it would be easier to get along with this group of people.

Or maybe they would rather be led by an expert.

After everyone had met, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and said, "Hello, teachers. I am Yang Xiaotao, an ordinary worker."

"Of course, I used to be a biology teacher in the village school, so I do have some insights into biology, but not as profound as Teacher Wang said!"

"So it's not wrong for everyone to call me Teacher Yang."

"However, I still want to study hard with you teachers!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

"As for me, I learned about our situation from Teacher Wang. I admire you all very much."

"In such a difficult environment, where we had to make all the equipment ourselves, we relied on our hardworking hands, our unyielding spirit, and our strong will to overcome all difficulties to accomplish what those so-called experts and scholars abroad thought was impossible."

"It is you who tell those high and mighty that they are no nobler than us."

"It is you who let the whole world know that we also have world-class scientists here."

"You are all heroes of this land."

Bang bang bang bang
At this moment, no one was laughing, only people were crying.

The applause was thunderous, covering the entire night.

Yang Xiaotao said modestly, and the looks people gave him became even friendlier.

"Teacher Yang, you are too modest. I have read your paper on gene hybridization and benefited a lot from it."

An older middle-aged man in the crowd said convincingly, "Especially the discussion on gene recombination and mutation..."

The middle-aged man began to talk about the ideas in the paper, obviously he had studied it carefully.

Not only that, many people around nodded.

After all, anyone in China who wants to make achievements in this area will not miss Yang Xiaotao's article.

That's not even available abroad.

"So, Mr. Yang, you deserve these three words."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the people around him immediately responded, "Yes, if you are not worthy, then we teachers are even less worthy."

Yang Xiaotao smiled.

"Teacher Yang, you have to explain this to us in detail from now on!"

Someone said this, and Yang Xiaotao naturally agreed. "Okay, let's communicate more in the future. I will share my knowledge with you, and you can tell me your findings. Let's have more exchanges and strive to create more sparks of thought!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Beside him, Liu Huaimin, Xu Yuanshan and others stood together, watching Yang Xiaotao moving with ease in the crowd, and could not help but nod secretly.

"Old Xu, this position is perfect for him."

Chen Gong said this, and Xu Yuanshan nodded immediately, "There is no one more suitable than him in the entire city of Sijiu."

Then he remembered something and whispered, "When this guy sent out a paper, do you know how much the manuscript fee was?"

Liu Huaimin and Chen Gong frowned and thought carefully.

Liang Zuoxin and others around him were also very curious.

They arrived at the machinery factory late and some things were unclear.

During my casual conversations, I have heard a lot about Yang Xiaotao, including some about agriculture.

In particular, the agricultural boss wanted Yang Xiaotao to go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but he had a quarrel with Old Xia. In the end, Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to choose to stay in the steel mill, which made the other party give up.

But even so, it did not stop the other party from trying to poach our employees.

It is said that he is still an honorary secretary and receives salary every month.

I'm jealous.

Chen Gong thought for a while and said, "I remember it was about thirty yuan. This should have been four or five years ago."

Liu Huaimin nodded on the side. At that time, Yang Youning used this matter to publicize it.

Xu Yuanshan shook his head. "Not this one. This is the earliest one. There is another one, which is the one when those experts from the alliance came."

“This matter involves some transactions in the league, so it has not been publicized, but many people know about it.”

Liu Huaimin understood immediately, "You mean the paper on genes that was sent abroad?"

Xu Yuanshan nodded, "Yes, that's it."

"Do you know how much the manuscript fee was?"

"How many?"

Xu Yuanshan's words had aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.

"fifty thousand!"

“It’s still a US dollar!”

hiss~~~
These fifty thousand US dollars would be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

There's so much money, and my heart is pounding no matter who I give it to.

"Is this his alone?"

Liang Zuoxin swallowed and said.

Everyone looked at Xu Yuanshan, and then at Yang Xiaotao who was mingling with everyone.

Not to mention a few years ago, even now, how much is a person's salary?

Ordinary workers only earn three or four hundred yuan a year. They earn a little more, but their annual salary is still less than one thousand yuan.

If we calculate it based on one thousand, ten years would only be ten thousand, and a hundred years would only be one hundred thousand.

Damn it, if the market continues like this, I’ll have enough to eat and drink for the rest of my life.

"Nonsense, he wrote the paper himself, it's not his business alone, so who else can it be?"

"This money was directly handed over to Yang Xiaotao by President Deng of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

"This is true."

Xu Yuanshan spoke seriously, and everyone swallowed the saliva in their throats again.

"Old Xu, how did you know?"

Chen Gong was curious, but Xu Yuanshan smiled and said, "Since we are related, he will know."

Chen Gong curled his lips after hearing this.

Isn’t he just Yang Xiaotao’s old superior? Is there any need to show off like this?
I never show off my relationship with Yang Xiaotao in front of others.

"None of this is important. What's important is that Yang Xiaotao confiscated the money."

Xu Yuanshan continued, and everyone was surprised again.

But Liu Huaimin seemed very calm.

Because he thought of this result.

What’s the point of keeping so much money?

You need tickets to buy things.

It would be better to donate it to the country. The foreign exchange is tight at this time and you can gain a good reputation.

Then Xu Yuanshan continued, "This money is a good thing, but Yang Xiaotao still donated it. At that time, the country was short of foreign exchange, so he gave it to the foreign trade department as funding."

"That's also why Ms. Li Rong from the foreign trade department was so nice to Yang Xiaotao when she came to the machinery factory."

When Liu Huaimin and Chen Gong thought about this incident, they thought it was Yang Xiaotao who came up with the friendship pressure cooker thing, but it turns out there are so many things going on.

"Later, the state allocated a portion of funds to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences as start-up funds for the hybrid support program, which was also part of the reason."

"The hybrid rice reported now is the beneficiary of this plan."

“In addition, some of it was given to other research studios.”

"Although many people don't know, the leaders know it clearly."

“Without Yang Xiaotao’s actions back then, they might still be struggling.”

"It can be said that many people owe Yang Xiaotao a favor."

After Xu Yuanshan finished speaking, he never expected that an action he took back then would have such an impact.

"I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know how big the impact is!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao still chatting and laughing with everyone, Liu Huaimin and others nodded.

This can be regarded as an unintentional intervention.

Chen Gong murmured after hearing this, "No wonder the leader likes him so much!"

"It's not something that most people can do to pay tens of thousands of dollars."

Liang Zuoxin, who was standing by, clapped his hands and said with emotion, "This is to regard money as dirt and shed blood for the revolutionary construction!"

"If you put it on me, I'd like it too!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

After all, having such subordinates can make you worry less.

Looking at the time, Liu Huaimin and Chen Gong exchanged a glance and then stepped forward.

"Comrades, let's go in first. We have prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome you."

At this time, Liu Huaimin and Xu Yuanshan came over to meet everyone, shaking hands and saying, "We have been preparing for a long time, we can't wait any longer!"

There was another burst of laughter upon hearing this.

"Yes, yes, let's go in first."

Yang Xiaotao also reacted and led everyone to the machinery factory.

After this welcome, everyone who came also felt the respect of the machinery factory leaders, and some people felt a little relieved.

Some people even think that it’s not bad here.

At least the sincerity shown now should be able to accommodate one of their desks.
