Otherwise, if the cost of funding the national aerospace enterprise is increased, they might end up being called in for a discussion.

So it’s enough just to make a modest profit.

If that’s the case, then the price from the last cooperation with Xia Science Institution’s Solar Research Institute is quite appropriate.

"Okay."

Professor Qian Jianlin heard this and smiled, nodding his head.

Because that price is exactly what the National Space Administration is most satisfied with, their budget is based on the cost of the last cooperation between Mist City Arts and Science University and Xia Science Institution’s Solar Research Institute.

The purpose of Professor Qian Jianlin’s visit was to discuss this price.

If Feiyue Group’s quotation were too high, then Professor Qian Jianlin would be responsible for negotiating the price, until it was close to that of the cooperation with Xia Science Institution’s Solar Research Institute.

However, to Professor Qian Jianlin’s surprise, Ding Yue was willing to cooperate at that price straightforwardly.

"Professor Qian, I am very straightforward when it comes to cooperating with officials, and the price with Xia Science Institution’s Solar Research Institute is indeed the most favorable price for our Feiyue Group."

Ding Yue said to Professor Qian Jianlin with a smile.

"I can see that, Principal Ding, you are a straightforward person. Based on this budget, our National Space Administration will have about ten billion yuan worth of graphene material orders with your Feiyue Group each year."

Professor Qian Jianlin mentioned the budget he had already prepared earlier to Principal Ding.

In fact, although it’s about ten billion yuan worth of graphene material orders each year, with the annual increase in funding for the aerospace enterprise, this order will definitely increase gradually.

Because the funding for the National Space Administration has increased, there will be more projects, and more projects will require more graphene materials, so naturally, the cooperation orders will also increase.

Ten billion yuan is just a starting point.

Ding Yue, of course, understood this principle. Being able to cooperate with the National Space Administration this time, the reputation alone would be enough to enhance the visibility of his Feiyue Group significantly.

Consider this:

The graphene materials of Feiyue Group being purchased by the National Space Administration for use in the aerospace industry.

Then, how could other industries, including both military and civilian sectors that need graphene, not cooperate with Ding Yue’s Feiyue Group?

By that time, it would be the moment for Ding Yue’s Feiyue Group to make a huge profit from the graphene materials, as the profits in civilian sectors are indeed capitalist money.

And making money from capitalists means making as much as possible, unlike now, being so straightforward with the National Space Administration!

"Professor Qian, regarding this cooperation, should we sign the agreement now, or should each graphite order be signed separately as needed?"

Ding Yue asked.

"Each order will be signed separately. This time, we are not responsible for signing the contracts,"

Professor Qian responded with a smile.

"That’s fine, I will have Miss An liaise with the relevant departments of the National Space Administration about this."

Ding Yue immediately nodded, delegating the specific follow-up matters to An Yujia.

For such matters, Ding Yue definitely didn’t need to discuss personally. It was enough to have agreed here with Professor Qian Jianlin, and Ding Yue had already given the guidelines.

That was, his Feiyue Group’s graphene materials would be cooperated with the National Space Administration at the same price as the last cooperation with Xia Science Institution’s Solar Research Institute.

After An Yujia left, she only needed to follow the demands of the National Space Administration and proceed accordingly.

"Alright, Principal Ding."

Seeing that Principal Ding mentioned her and handed the follow-up tasks to her, An Yujia immediately responded.

"So this matter is settled. For the next few days, Principal Ding, we will inspect your university and then make a decision, how about that?"

Professor Qian Jianlin kindly smiled and said to Ding Yue.

Because Professor Qian Jianlin did not expect that the task Deputy Chen had assigned him would be settled so easily, mainly because Principal Ding was truly straightforward, hardly taxing Professor Qian Jianlin’s eloquence.

"Sure, Professor Qian, let’s start the inspection tomorrow. You have traveled long and discussed issues today, why not rest for a while?"

Ding Yue heard this and also said with a smile.

"That would be fine."

Professor Qian Jianlin agreed.

The inspection time was ample, there was no need to hurry, and after the task assigned by Deputy Chen was completed, it was time for Professor Qian Jianlin and other professors from the National Space Administration to slowly and carefully conduct their inspections.

"Is it almost mealtime?"

Ding Yue checked the time, and it seemed it was almost six o’clock.

At this time, it was naturally the normal mealtime at the university and also when most people had their meals.

Believing that the older generation, like Professor Qian Jianlin, followed healthy routines and definitely finished their meals between six and seven o’clock, Ding Yue invited, "Professor Qian, and other professors, shall we end the meeting and go eat now?"

All the professors nodded immediately.

When it was mealtime, naturally, it was time to eat.

"Principal Ding, we can just eat something simple, no need to waste too much," Professor Qian Jianlin specifically reminded Ding Yue.

Because Professor Qian Jianlin feared that Principal Ding had prepared a lavish dinner to welcome everyone, which was actually unnecessary.

However, Ding Yue smiled and said to Professor Qian Jianlin, "Professor Qian, rest assured, I understand. Let’s go to the university canteen. We will have the usual meals, but Mist City Arts and Science University will take care of the invoice, no problem there, right?"

Ding Yue knew very well that the older generation of scientists, like Professor Qian Jianlin, disliked extravagant banquets, and a modest meal was more than satisfactory.

Thus, Ding Yue had arranged for the canteen of the university to prepare meals for the scientists from the National Space Administration.

And Ding Yue had specifically instructed his mother, Zhang Yuping, to cook herself!

"Good, good, good."

Seeing Principal Ding’s enthusiasm, Professor Qian Jianlin naturally wouldn’t refuse Ding Yue’s arrangement to dine in the canteen.

After the meeting ended, Ding Yue immediately called his mother, Zhang Yuping: "Hello, Mom, are the dinners you’re preparing for the scientists from the National Space Administration ready?"

"They’ll be ready in a moment!"

Over the phone, Zhang Yuping’s voice came through: "Have you all come over?"

"We’ll be there in a bit."

Ding Yue responded.

"This is the first time I’ve cooked for scientists," Zhang Yuping said with emotion. "This is far more meaningful than cooking for your father."

To a middle-aged woman like Zhang Yuping, scientists held a very respectable status.

And to have the fortune to cook for scientists was something Zhang Yuping found very pride-worthy.

"Then all right, I’ll bring Professor Qian and the others over now."

Ding Yue knew that when his mother said it would be ready soon, it meant it was almost ready, and it was time to bring the scientists over for a meal.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue led Professor Qian and the others, including several professors’ students or assistants, as well as colleagues from Mist City Arts and Science University, like Huang Youjie, Xu Bin, An Yujia, Song Wankong, to the Fifth Canteen.

In the Fifth Canteen, Zhang Yuping had already instructed the canteen staff to clear a section of the dining tables for the scientists from the National Space Administration.

On the tables, there was dish after dish of fragrant meals.

The simplicity of these meals, along with the canteen’s setting, was quite to the satisfaction of Professor Qian Jianlin and his peers.

One must say Principal Ding was considerate.

Had this been anywhere else, the arrangements would likely have been made grand, even luxurious. Professor Qian Jianlin had once visited a place where the host had set up a large round table banquet, which was extremely lavish.

That kind of formality was something Professor Qian Jianlin didn’t appreciate.

Instead, this simple, unadorned meal made Professor Qian Jianlin feel comfortable.

"Professor Qian, the meals are ready, let’s eat,"

After inviting Professor Qian and the others, Ding Yue prepared to sit down and eat together.

This meal, apart from not having to queue, was no different from usual, and the dishes looked like tasty home-cooked meals.

After Professor Qian Jianlin and the other professors sat down, they started to eat.

And just after a few bites, Professor Qian immediately looked up and praised, "Mmm, Principal Ding, the canteen meals at your school are very tasty!"
