Chapter 192: Intrigue in the Workplace Counselor Fu Qianling twisted her shoulders a little awkwardly. She felt that Dean Shu was just being polite and asked, "Do you have any difficulties?" But why did Chen Zhe really agree to it? "Oh, what's the difficulty?" Shu Yuan didn't look unusual, instead he took the initiative to ask. “We are lacking an office space.” Chen Zhuo sat on the sofa, rubbing his hands and said, "We don't have a fixed office space yet. To be honest, I was just in the library answering questions from parents." "It sounds a bit pathetic." Shu Yuan sighed and said, "It's mainly because you're running too fast. It feels like you're forcing the product online just because it's advertised in the newspaper." Dean Shu is of very high level. Not only did he personally spend money to experience the business model of "Zhongda Learning Network", but some of his development views also coincide with Chen's.
Now he could also see that Chen Zhe might be doing it for traffic, so as to speed up the process of launching the "Learning Network". "We have an opportunity like this, so we must not waste it." Chen said with a smile. "That's true." Shu Yuan nodded. Opportunities wait for no one. Being able to change the established process according to changes in the situation is consistent with his impression of Chen Zhuo as a "courageous" person. However, what Shu Yuan felt strange about was that "courage" was not impulsive or blind. It was an "advantageous decision" made instantly after weighing the pros and cons in a short period of time with the blessing of a large amount of successful experience and knowledge. In fact, this is a test of one's basic qualities. Even for adults in their forties, if their careers have always been in failure, their experience, vision, and mentality will make it impossible for them to make such a confident decision. "Do you have any idea?" Shu Yuan asked, he wanted to hear Chen Zhuo's opinion first. “All of us who started the business together are students of our school, so we can only choose an office location near the school. I don’t know how happy we would be if we could have our own office in the Tech Valley.” Chen said with a wink. The full name of "Science and Technology Valley" is also called Zhongda Science and Technology Valley. It is a park with several office buildings, shaded by green trees, and flowing water. It is just a few hundred meters away from the school and is an important part of Zhongda's technology incubation chain. Relying on the school's scientific research advantages and talent resources, we provide technology entrepreneurs with a low-cost, convenient, full-factor, open innovation and entrepreneurship platform. The Technology Valley was just renovated in 2005. Its current office conditions are among the best in Guangzhou. It not only has independent small offices of 40-70 square meters, but also shared conference rooms, multi-functional lecture halls and multimedia conference rooms for meetings. The internet and office furniture are free, and the water and electricity are at residential standards, so you can move in right away. However, it has two requirements. The first is that it must be a technology startup company, and the second is that CUHK needs to hold a stake or even a shareholding. How does a university hold shares? This solution is easy to find. The school has a wholly-owned subsidiary called Zhongda Venture Capital Management Co., Ltd. (Zhongda Venture Capital for short), which is mainly responsible for the management. What a coincidence! The chairman of CUHK Venture Capital is the dean of Lingnan College. Now everyone in the office understood what was going on. After going in circles, they realized that they wanted an office in the Tech Valley.
Professor Xu Qingcheng did not express his opinion, but just stared at the water cup on the table without saying a word. Fu Qianling and the young assistant both glanced at Shu Yuan. He had the final say on this matter. "Do you know the conditions for entering Tech Valley?" Dean Shu neither agreed nor objected, but said slowly: "You are eligible for technological entrepreneurship, but the school must hold shares." Regardless of what Chen Zhuo was thinking, he said without hesitation: "I welcome the hospital leaders to recruit me. I never want to start a business again in my life. It's better to work honestly." Chen Zhuo agreed so straightforwardly that Shu Yuan choked. Looking at Fu Qianling and the assistant trying to hold back their laughter, Dean Shu shook his head, thought for a moment, and said to Chen Zhuo: "Let's not talk about anything else. You're very suitable for starting a business with your thick skin. If you go out to work, you will probably make your boss mad. The Tech Valley is not fully occupied yet, so we can give you a room in one of the corners, but you have to pay the rent." This is the advantage of being a direct descendant. Even though the conditions are not fully met, Shu Yuan did not treat Chen Zhe as an outsider. "no problem!" Chen readily agreed, saying that the rent would not be very expensive, perhaps only a few hundred yuan a month. Moreover, Chen Zhuo also applied for support for college students’ entrepreneurship from the provincial and municipal governments, and receives rent subsidies every month. As for Dean Shu, he actually had his own ideas when making this decision. The service-based business model of "Zhongda Learning Network" is quite novel. He also appreciates the spirit of this young student Chen Zhe. If he is really recruited, the company's internal rules and regulations may restrain this wild growth. To give the simplest example, if Chen Zhe wants to run TV ads for the learning network after being recruited, it will basically be impossible. Because the board of directors feels that it is not appropriate to invest too much when just starting out, but if they keep procrastinating, some opportunities may be wasted. Although President Shu is nominally the chairman, CUHK Venture Capital is not his own company; its ownership belongs to the school. So Shu Yuan wanted to see how big a hole he could make by secretly giving some support and letting the student do what he wanted. "you this……" At this time, President Shu was planning to say a few words of encouragement. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhuo continued, "Dean Shu, Professor Xu, I have another problem." "besides?" Fu Qianling thought to herself, don't treat this place as a wishing well. Dean Shu's expression was calm. He asked, "Any other questions?" "The operation and storage of the learning network requires a large-capacity, high-computing server. The company currently rents one from outside, which is completely inferior to the equipment in the school." Chen Zhuo said: "I really wanted to use the old computer room in the school, but the School of Computer Science refused." After saying that, Chen Zhuo also took out the original "Application for College Students to Borrow the Computer College's Abandoned Computer Room for Entrepreneurship", which still had Professor Zheng Weidi's opinion of "refusing to use" on it. Shu Yuan took it, looked at it, thought for a moment, and then said, "The School of Computer Science rejected you, maybe they are using it?" Shu Yuan is the dean of Lingyuan. He has a lot of things to do and has no idea what is going on in the Institute of Finance. Chen Zhuo also said "Oh" and didn't say anything more.
He couldn't reveal the details by himself, otherwise the suspicion would be too obvious. When he was thinking about whether to let Zeng Kun or Zheng Ju expose the matter, he suddenly heard Fu Qianling say, "What application? Show it to me." "That's right! This is also a little surfing expert!" Chen's heart moved. Fu Qianling graduated with a master's degree and came to work right after raising her child. Her mental age may be only slightly more mature than a normal college student. This can be seen from the way she handles class affairs, so it is impossible for her not to gossip. "Here~" Chen Zhuo handed the application to Fu Qianling. After Fu Qianling finished reading, she glanced at everyone. Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little quiet, she suddenly said, "President Shu, I heard a piece of news a while ago, but I don't know if it's true or not..." "tell me the story." Shu Yuan didn't take it seriously at first. However, when Shu Yuan heard Fu Qianling say that Minxing Technology was using the school's old computer room for free with the approval of Vice Dean Zheng Weidi of the School of Computer Science, he frowned. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. If you strictly follow up, it is not against the rules to let Chen use the office in the Science Valley. But so what? As a dean, don’t I have even this much right? Besides, Chen Zhuo is still a student of our college, so if Shu Yuan really wants to explain, he has a lot of reasons. The key is to see whether any benefits are gained from it, which is the most crucial point in the process of investigating corruption. If there is no exchange of interests to gain benefits, it may be the improper use of "state-owned assets/public property", which should not be a big deal. If you have gained benefits from it and are specifically named for investigation, you should basically think carefully about whether there is any possibility of meritorious service. The Discipline Inspection Commission cannot bear it if it gets serious. "No wonder Dean Zheng didn't lend us the computer room." Chen said at the right time, like an innocent white lotus: "Forget it, I'll just rent a server outside the school." Shu Yuan did not comment, but stood up and said, "I still have to report to Principal Xu, you can go back first." Xu Ning called to ask about the "starting a business by advertising in newspapers" matter. Now that Shu Yuan knows everything, he must respond. "Having a response for everything" is not only important in love, it is also very important in work. As for Zheng Weidi's situation, Shu Yuan planned to act according to circumstances. He would not offend a vice-dean just because of a student. ······ (End of this chapter)
