Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 250

"Ah, don't you know, our Western Continent Institute of Science and Technology is now a subsidiary of Tian'ou Group. Not only do we have no research funding, but we have to make money and hand it over to Tian'ou Group."

Hearing Sun Xingxue's words, Lin Lan finally realized that he was misled by Blue Star's inertial thinking.

It is clear that the Western Continent Institute of Science and Technology is a profitable technology company after the scientific research institution of the United States of Oran was taken over by the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce.

After Tomahawk Military Industry went to work alone, it became equivalent to becoming a subsidiary of Tianou Group.

As a subsidiary of the consortium, it is natural to pay for the profits of the consortium.

"Then how do you all make money?"

After Lin Lan cleared his mind, he looked at Sun Xingxue and asked in a serious tone.

"The main source of our profit is to develop naval equipment and sell it to the Ministry of the Navy at the naval equipment trade fair."

"Besides, it is to develop various new patents and sell them to Tianou Group, and get a certain dividend."

"But this money is still a drop in the bucket for our research, and many researchers can't even pay their salaries, so many researchers who graduated from the academy went to the Tomahawk military industry."

When Sun Xingxue said this, Tian Ming on the side lowered his head in shame.

When he graduated, he went to the Tomahawk military industry because he felt that the salary of the Western Continent Research Institute was too low.

After receiving Sun Xingxue's answer, Lin Lan finally understood why the West Continent Academy of Science and Technology was located in such a remote place.

He also finally understood why the conditions here are so bad.

After working on it for a long time, the Academy of Science and Technology, which is so important to the United States of Oran, not only has no research funding, but even has to make money for the consortium?

What kind of thing is this? As a time traveler who traveled from Lanxing Donghuang, Lin Lan has never seen anyone who can play like this.

How can scientific research be done for profit?

"In order to establish this scientific research institute, the teacher even sold his property, lived here, and used all his savings to make up for the lack of funds of the scientific research institute."

"Xiaotian, you are exposing my old background."

Sun Xingxue glared dissatisfiedly at Tian Ming who interrupted, and said calmly:

"In order for Oran to take back the ocean, my meager efforts are nothing to worry about."

"It's just a pity for the young researchers who are still working here. They gave up the opportunity to go to other consortiums to make a lot of money, and really devoted their youth and hard work to the future of Oran."

"I'm old, and Oran's future still belongs to you young people after all. But as long as I'm still alive, you don't have to worry about it, and just focus on scientific research."

"Especially you, Xiaotian, as a leader of the younger generation of scientific researchers, I hope you are a real prodigal son and don't be blinded by those false names and power."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Lan looked at the aged dean of the Academy of Science and Technology with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Even though he is not a real Oran native, as a Blue Star Donghuang native, he has been educated in the concept of "rejuvenating the country through science and education" since he was a child.

In the past, Donghuang finally became a prosperous and powerful country thanks to the efforts of generations of researchers who kept their names incognito and did not expect anything in return.

So Lin Lan secretly made a decision in his heart, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Jian Qianou's number.

"Hello? Yes, it's me."

"From today onwards, you must spend 20.00%... no, [-]% of your total profit for the year to the Western Continent Academy of Science and Technology as research funding."

"Yes, that's what I mean, I'm just informing you and not asking for your opinion."

After making arrangements for Jian Qianou, Lin Lan hung up the phone without waiting for Jian Qianou to say anything more.

Jian Qianou is a smart person, Lin Lan believes that this old man will soon be able to figure out the cause and effect, and analyze the pros and cons.

"Master President, who did you call just now?"

Hearing Lin Lan speak so aggressively, Sun Xingxue was frightened and asked him cautiously.

"Hehe, Mr. Sun, you don't have to worry about it. It's just a trivial work arrangement."

Lin Lan just smiled lightly, and then said:

"By the way, take me to copy a copy of the data from your scientific research record database. This should be something I can do in this position, right?"

"That's natural. All the achievements in the record library belong to Tian'ou Group. Of course, Mr. President has the right to copy and take them away. Please."

Sun Xingxue guessed who Lin Lan called the other party just now, but he couldn't figure out who it was.

So he simply stopped guessing, took Lin Lan and the group back to the elevator, and went directly to the sixth floor.

This floor is the highest place in the complex of science and technology institutes.

Compared with the high-rise buildings with more than [-] floors in the urban area of ​​Yunhai City, this place looks extremely shabby.

Looking at the empty corridors and locked offices, it was obvious that this floor was the office area of ​​the Academy of Science and Technology.

"Ming, you and Sun Lao go to copy the scientific research record library, you know what we need."

After getting out of the elevator, Lin Lan said to Akashi, a small profiteer.

He is actually not interested in other scientific research achievements of the United States of Oran. What he needs most is oil exploration and exploitation technology.

No matter how much oil he obtained from the Tian'ou Group, it would be better for him to directly use the power of the port area to mine it himself.

What's more, if you go to the Natlan Empire or the country of teaching in the future, those countries don't have the habit of using oil.

It would be too troublesome to just rely on shipping from Oran, why not build an oil field wherever he goes.

This will also ensure that he and the ship girls will not fall into the predicament of insufficient oil.

"Put it on me meow~"

The small profiteer had already prepared a mobile hard disk for storing data, and after receiving Lin Lan's order, he walked to the office in the corridor with Sun Xingxue and Tian Ming.

Through the corridor window, Lin Lan looked at the sky outside.

Thick gray dark clouds completely occupied the sky, and the entire Yunhai City looked very dim.

Gusts of cold wind slapped on the floor and made a whirring sound through the gaps in the windows, which made people feel a little oppressed.

"Commander, why did you ask people from Tian'ou Group to invest in scientific research funds for this science and technology academy?"

Seeing Lin Lan looking at the distant view outside the window without saying a word, and with a serious expression, Hu Teng walked up to Lin Lan and asked him softly.

"Hutten, have you discovered that the Sirens have endowed Oran United States with a pseudo-mental Rubik's Cube, and they must have known that Oran would research Rubik's Cube technology and Rubik's Cube energy."

"In order to see what the Sirens are up to, letting Oran speed up this progress may allow the Sirens to show their feet faster."

Hearing Lin Lan's analysis, Hu Teng nodded, and Egil on the side also looked at Lin Lan with approval.

As expected of everyone's commander, he has considered so many things. It seems that he is not just fishing in the port area.

"And if that's the case, maybe we can add some new partners to Shattered Sky in the future, isn't it?"

Lin Lan smiled and looked at Sui Qiong who had been silent all this time, and although the machine girl girl didn't understand what Lin Lan was referring to, she still nodded with a smile.

Everything the commander says is right.

Soon, Akashi walked back with Sun Xingxue and Tian Ming. The cute little profiteer smiled smirk at him and made an OK gesture.

Now that you've got everything you need, it's time to leave.

It was only past four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still possible to catch up with Ron's dinner.

So while Lin Lan and Sun Xingxue were enthusiastically exchanging some topics about the development of science and technology, a group of people also came to the gate of the Academy of Science and Technology.

Of course, Lin Lan didn't forget to tell Sun Xingxue that the rules of the shipbuilding product fair in the morning of the day after tomorrow will be changed, and he will be fully responsible for it when he comes to the scene.

Naturally, Sun Xingxue would not refuse Lin Lan's request and readily agreed.

He has already seen from Lin Lan's attitude towards him and the topics discussed that this young Tian'ou president attaches great importance to scientific research.

Although the profit of the Ship Equipment Fair is astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people, the position of Tianou President must be looked down upon.

After exchanging mobile phone numbers with Sun Xingxue and asking him to contact him if he had any difficulties or needs, Lin Lan and others bid farewell to the two, boarded the car and left the Western Continent Institute of Science and Technology.
