Chapter 303 High integrity
According to existing information, Lu Shan's initial research was all done by himself, and Jiangzhou University did not provide any support at all. It was not until the semiconductor materials came out that cooperation began.
Liu Hongming scoffed at this statement, saying it was totally untrue.
What is materials science?
It is a discipline like looking for a needle in a haystack, a process of adjusting and trying little by little to get the right formula.
Just imagine how complicated it is.
And Lu Shan didn't even provide any help, but solved the entire experimental reaction process relying solely on mathematical models?
Liu Hongming estimated that Jiangzhou University should have already achieved some results, and then handed them over to Lu Shan.
This is a process of artificially deifying oneself. Although Lu Shan looks glorious in front of others, he must have signed some agreement behind the scenes to give all the benefits back to the school.
Otherwise, how do you explain that Lu Shan rejected such good conditions from the United States?
"Yes! This must be the case! The agreement should have written this situation in. The penalty for breach of contract is very terrible. Lu Shan dare not breach the contract."
With this idea in mind, Liu Hongming felt that the more he thought about it, the more correct he was.
The country needs heroes, and Lu Shan just happens to meet the requirements.
While Liu Hongming was daydreaming, Lu Shan spoke up: "I can't have this house."
The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone thought they had heard wrongly, even the deputy leader thought so.
"I really can't take this house. It's not suitable!" Lu Shan reiterated upon seeing this.
In Lu Shan's opinion, it was just a house, he could afford it. Now that his net worth was already tens of millions, he could still come up with this little money.
In that case, why accept the house?
He also noticed the looks of the people around him. This was a volcano. Once he took it, he would be the target of public criticism.
"This..." The deputy leader had never thought that something like this would happen. Fortunately, he was quick-witted:
"The house is a gift from the city, and it is also a compliment to Mr. Lu Shan and an affirmation of his achievements. You must accept it."
He even joked, "Isn't it that Mr. Lu Shan thinks the house is not big enough? Haha."
After a half-joking response, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
Lu Shan took advantage of the situation and said, "This gift is very generous. I feel unworthy of it. Besides, I have a place to live. Please give this house to someone who really needs it."
"However, the city cannot just remain silent. If you have any other needs, just ask!" The deputy leader's reply meant that if Lu Shan didn't want it, it was Lu Shan's intention, not that the city didn't want to give it.
He also hinted to Lu Shan not to propose conditions that are too outrageous.
Lu Shan understood what he meant and immediately put forward his request.
This requirement is to establish a graphene laboratory. Ms. Mary has always requested this, saying that graphene batteries require a lot of practical experiments.
Lu Shan took this opportunity to raise the issue, and Jiangzhou City generally agreed. After all, it was just a test site and the city didn't have to pay for it.
Once the experiment is successful, it will boost Jiangzhou City's economy, technology, and employment in the future, and the city will definitely agree.
"A graphene test site? That's not that difficult. How much land do we need?" The deputy leader breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it didn't cost money, there was plenty of land! The investment attraction was not strong, and there was really a lot of land planned. Why not do a favor?
Lu Shan pondered for a moment and gave a number: "About ten acres of land! The location should be near the urban area of Jiangzhou City, not too far away."
This is not Lu Shanshi's exorbitant request. Ten acres of land is 6670 square meters, which is not a big amount.
This area needs to be used for experiments and production lines, and it will most likely need to be further expanded in the future!
But it's a bit troublesome since the place is in the urban area.
"Ten acres of land is not difficult. Do you have any other needs?" The deputy leader agreed immediately.
"There must be infrastructure such as water and electricity, and it would be best if there were idle areas around so that we could expand nearby in the future. And there must be space for a sewage treatment plant. I will take care of the pollution."
"Okay! I'll give you a clear answer now!" The deputy leader immediately asked the people in charge of attracting investment to bring the map over. Jiang Luowen was at the scene and quickly brought the map over.
Lu Shan didn't want a house, he just wanted a place to do experiments. This approach was praised by everyone, and even those who were uncomfortable at first changed their minds.
"Lu Shan is such a pure person, devoted to scientific research. No wonder he can achieve such success at such a young age."
"You are so noble and upright. You put aside your personal interests and only think about science. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to do it."
"I must tell my students more about Lu Shan in the future. He is such a good role model!"
Liu Hongming curled his lips aside, thinking that Lu Shan was being insincere and was just retreating to advance.
Asking for land is the first step, and more demands will definitely be made in the future to strive for greater benefits.
The deputy leader was also fooled by him and took such a move. If it were me, I would definitely not agree to it.
Seeing that the deputy leader was surveying the map, everyone was curious about which piece of land would be given to Lu Shan, so no one left here, but quietly watched the deputy leader discuss with Jiang Luowen.
Jiang Luowen is in charge of attracting investment, and he knows exactly where the resources can be used.
"There are actually not many idle plots of land exceeding ten mu near the urban area of the factory areas that have been tidied up. There are only a few of them." Jiang Luowen said bitterly, and the deputy leader also knew the reason behind it.
It is very difficult to attract investment in Jiangzhou City, as not many large companies come here. Moreover, since it is close to the urban area, the planned area is generally not too large. If a large company is attracted and needs a large site, it will not be too late to prepare at that time.
The deputy leader did not mention the family scandal. He pondered for a moment and pointed to a place: "This place is just right. It was originally prepared for new materials. The configuration inside is just right for Lu Shan's needs."
"Hmm? Here? It's indeed suitable, but..."
"But what?"
Everyone started to get curious. Jiang Luowen's mouth twitched, but he still said, "This is the land allocated to the New Materials Industry Research Institute a few years ago..."
"What?" Liu Hongming couldn't sit still anymore. How did the melon get eaten by him?
The deputy leader waved his hand and said, "It's okay! I remember that the institute has no new projects reported, and this piece of land has been idle for many years. Is Dean Liu here?"
Liu Hongming smiled reluctantly: "I'm here."
I was already cursing in my heart, this damn Lu Shan is my disaster!
"This piece of land will be given to Lu Shan first. He already has a project that requires land. If you also need land for your own project, we will find you another piece of land when the time comes. If you have any difficulties, just raise them and we will help you solve them first."
"There is no difficulty. We don't have any new projects yet. Let's give it to Lu Shan first." Liu Hongming looked magnanimous, but he was really cursing in his heart.
How could I dare to say no in this situation? With so many people watching, if I hesitated, I would be accused of being rude.
"Then it's decided!" The deputy leader immediately made the decision, reported to the leader Huang Tianlin, and sent someone to take Lu Shan's people to do the handover. Liu Hongming returned to the institute, furious. Although the land was idle, it was his!
Although I don’t have ownership, I have the right to use it.
When doing things, you have to follow the principles of seniority and first come first served!
Why did they make an exception for Lu Shan this time?
It's okay to make an exception, but why should I make an exception with my own things? Fuck!
Liu Hongming picked up the cup and tried to drink some water, but found that there was nothing in it. He angrily scolded his secretary, "Are all the people dead? There's not even any tea or water?"
The secretary came over immediately and served him tea.
"Puff!" Liu Hongming took a sip and found it was hot. He became so angry that he smashed the teacup.
Make tea and drink it right away, if it doesn’t get hot, who else will you burn?
Liu Hongming felt a little better when he saw his secretary packing up in panic.
But when he thought that he couldn't do anything to Lu Shan, he became angry again.
Liu Hongming slammed the door and left the research institute, looking for a place to get a massage. One side of his head was hurting terribly, and he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight without a massage.
Seeing Liu Hongming's expression, the subordinates knew that their boss was in a bad mood, and no one dared to ask more questions.
Lu Shan rejected Jiangzhou City's offer to allocate a house, but Jiangcheng County also offered good intentions.
The reason was that when Jiangcheng County saw Lu Shan won the Xia National Youth Science Award, the supervisors thought it would be inappropriate for them not to express some opinion.
Because Lu Shan is from Jiangcheng County, such a good business card must be promoted to highlight the education level and educational achievements of Jiangcheng County, and by the way, mention the preferential policies for high-end talents to attract more capable people to settle down in Jiangcheng County.
They acted immediately and someone found the machinery factory house where Lu Dehai originally lived according to Lu Shan's household registration address.
When we got there, we found the house was empty. We asked the neighbors and learned that Lu Dehai had moved away. We didn't know where he had bought a house. Lu Dehai's family was very low-key. They just said they had bought a house and treated everyone to a meal without saying anything else.
There was no other way. The Jiangcheng County supervisors investigated Lu Shan’s family’s social relations and found Gao Song, Lu Shan’s mother’s brother-in-law. After all, he worked in the department and was easy to find.
When he heard that the person who called him was actually the main leader of Jiangcheng County, he was so surprised that he almost jumped up. What did a person of this level want to do with him?
The person on the other end of the phone didn't waste any time. He directly told Gao Song about Lu Shan's award and asked Gao Song to contact Lu Dehai.
Gao Song finally understood what had happened.
It’s not his fault. Who has time to stare at TV during work hours?
If someone in the Jiangcheng County department had not been on vacation and happened to see the news, I'm afraid this matter would have taken a day or two to spread.
"Old Gao, what's wrong with you? Did you win the lottery?" Seeing Gao Song's abnormal behavior, his colleagues couldn't help but make fun of him.
"It's better than winning the lottery!" Gao Song responded with a reply and then excitedly called Lu Dehai: "Brother-in-law..."
Lu Dehai was still working in the machinery factory. Gao Song called him and told him everything, and he believed it halfway.
Then Jiangcheng County called him and asked him to go to the Jiangcheng County Office to confirm the information, and he accepted this fact.
"A reward of one hundred thousand yuan? Okay, I got it!" Lu Dehai hung up the phone happily and immediately returned to Jiangcheng County from Jiangzhou Machinery Factory.
At this time, that circle of relatives no longer had any contempt or even jealousy.
When the gap between people is too big, jealousy has no soil to exist, and all that is left is admiration.
The relatives began to get close to Lu Dehai intentionally or unintentionally, calling him from time to time and asking him out for dinner from time to time. Lu Dehai saw through it very well and would go when it was appropriate. He could not completely cut off social connections, but he had to find a good balance.
We are all parents, and relatives are just paving the way for their children. I would do the same if I were in their shoes.
What’s interesting is that after Lu Dehai received the reward of 100,000 yuan, he actually fell into a great dilemma.
“Should I donate this money?”
Lu Shan was very curious: "Dad, why do you think so?"
"Many people on TV did the same thing after receiving bonuses. Our family can survive without this 100,000 yuan, so I thought of donating it to avoid people saying that we are not broad-minded enough." Lu Dehai's words were still quite subtle.
Lu Shan already understood Lu Dehai's concerns. He was afraid that others would criticize him and say that he was greedy for money.
Moral kidnapping is so outrageous. In fact, it is reasonable to donate the bonus or not. But I don’t know since when, everyone has regarded donating as a routine, and it is wrong not to donate.
This kind of trend is not correct.
On the other hand, Lu Dehai also considered Lu Shan when he thought of donating the money, in order to gain some fame for Lu Shan. Lu Shan understood his intention and felt touched.
Lu Shan thought about it and expressed his opinion: "Dad! It doesn't matter whether you donate this money or not, it's up to you. If you really want to spend it, I suggest you provide one-on-one assistance to a few poor students, but no middlemen should be involved, and you should pay special attention to the character of the children. Don't help those with bad character."
At this point, Lu Shan couldn't help but think of a good man who was a small singer. He was not rich and his income was not much, but he used most of his income to help those poor students. What was the result?
Many children do not know how to be grateful, they only know how to ask for things.
When he died of cancer, few of the students he helped spoke out.
What’s even more regrettable is that his wife inherited his legacy and continued to help others, but was eventually killed by a few children throwing rocks on the highway.
In addition to this example, there are other examples of celebrity assistance failing, all of which ended hastily because the character of the people being assisted was not up to standard.
Lu Shan was not too willing to let Lu Dehai do this. If he really wanted to help, he might as well stick to the principle of proximity and give some support to the children of relatives and friends. He had known those people for a long time and knew their personalities.
Lu Dehai has let go of the psychological burden regarding the donation and will think about it first. He now has something new he wants to do.
"I want to travel with your mother and see the country's mountains and rivers! I haven't been out yet!"
"Okay! Where do you want to go?" Lu Shan was living his life over again, and he was happy to see his parents happier and enjoy life. The regrets of his previous life were too unforgettable, and he had to make up for them in this life.
"It's tentatively decided to go to western Sichuan, which is not too far from Jiangyang Province. The difference in food and other things is not that big, so it's a good time to test the waters. This time we can get familiar with the process, and then go to more places in the future. Haha!" Lu Dehai couldn't help laughing when he said this.
"Okay, ask me if you have any questions. Remember to bring plenty of power banks, as the ones sold on the train are all disposable."
