Chapter 405: Chapter 254: Making up for the Professors’ Lifelong Regrets (Third Update, Please Subscribe) _1

Authorizing Dami Technology Group to use GaN Semiconductor Material Technology in the fast charging of electronic devices is within the realm of business.

Ding Yue decided not to interfere too much as his talents in business surely couldn’t be compared to the professional An Yujia.

That’s why he brought in An Yujia, the professional broker, to manage the business operations of his Feiyue Group.

Therefore, the specifics of cooperating with Dami Technology Group were left to An Yujia. All Ding Yue had to do was make decisions like agreeing to cooperate with Mr. Lei Ren.

In a few days, domestic mobile phone manufacturers other than Dami Technology Group would probably come knocking.

If Ding Yue were to handle it, wouldn’t he have to "entertain" each of them?

Ding Yue simply didn’t have the time.

Anyway, after authorizing the mobile phone manufacturers to use the GaN Semiconductor Material Technology developed by Mist City Arts and Science University and Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, making money was the goal.

Of course, not all the authorization fees would go to Ding Yue alone.

After all, the GaN semiconductor material was developed jointly by Ding Yue and three professors from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.

Ding Yue, of course, ensured that Professor Zhou Wen, Prof. Shen Congde, and Professor Wang Shangzhong would each receive their rightful earnings.

In fact, the more money Ding Yue gave them, the greater the boost to Xia Country’s research.

Because Professor Zhou Wen and his colleagues, collaborating with Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University on unofficial experimental research, any substantial amount of money they might receive could alter researchers’ lack of incentive due to inadequate compensation, and prevent more and more researchers from leaving the country or giving up research and development work in science and engineering.

Many people say that a scientist’s lifetime earnings may not even amount to an actor’s earnings from a film shot in three or four months.

Such is the lamentable state of affairs in contemporary Xia country.

Ding Yue pondered that, after this round of licensing and cooperation with Dami Technology Group and other companies, he could maybe do something with the money he received.

In the end, Ding Yue had another chat with Lei Ren before he hung up the phone.

"Principal Ding, Principal Ding, Mr. Lei came to us for cooperation, right?" Wen Ruohan asked excitedly after Principal Ding hung up.

Even though this had nothing to do with Wen Ruohan, she was excited as if she was personally involved.

The real reason why Wen Ruohan felt this way was because she herself was a student at Mist City Arts and Science University, and specifically, Principal Ding’s chosen secretary. As a student, today’s achievements were definitely a source of pride.

In fact, the proudest students at Mist City Arts and Science University were those from the Department of Physics, especially the department head, Pang Jianbo.

"That’s right, Dami Technology Group needs our GaN Semiconductor Material Technology to develop a new smartphone ’black tech’. This round, we can earn a hefty licensing fee," Ding Yue said with a nod.

"That’s wonderful. You’re amazing, Principal Ding! You developed something and managed to earn so much money from it!" Wen Ruohan said with obvious admiration.

"In reality, the income of our country’s researchers is quite low. Just think about it, a celebrity can earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for a single film, whereas researchers earn significantly less in comparison," Ding Yue said with a shrug, "this time, Professors Zhou Wen, Shen Congde, and Wang Shangzhong have finally achieved success. They will receive their own share of the money earned from the GaN Semiconductor Material Technology. I need to inform them about this good news right away."

After saying that, Ding Yue picked up his phone and dialed Professor Zhou Wen’s number.

"Principal Ding, you’re awake already?" A gentle voice carried through from the other end of the call, undeniably belonging to Professor Zhou Wen.

"Yes, I’ve woken up. After the entire day’s events, I guess you must’ve received a lot of news and calls, right?" Ding Yue asked with a chuckle.

"Indeed. Many news media have gotten in touch with us for interviews. Director Xiao from the Mist City Education Agency also paid us a visit," replied Professor Zhou Wen.

"Director Xiao came to our Mist City Arts and Science University today?" Ding Yue asked, surprised.

"Yes, Director Xiao came over and met with the three of us. It was around three in the afternoon, and you must’ve still been resting, so Director Xiao probably chose not to disturb you and left," answered Professor Zhou Wen.

Er...

Ding Yue was unaware that Director Xiao had visited Mist City Arts and Science University again today, and his secretary Wen Ruohan had not mentioned anything about it either.

Ding Yue covered up his phone and turned to look at Wen Ruohan, asking, "Did Director Xiao visit today?"

Wen Ruohan looked confused, then quickly shook her head: "I didn’t hear anything about it."

"Ah."

Ding Yue thought Wen Ruohan had forgotten to inform him about Director Xiao Wenxing’s visit to Mist City Arts and Science University, but it turned out that Wen Ruohan didn’t know either. This means that after Director Xiao and his team met with Professor Zhou Wen and the others, and knowing that he was resting, they didn’t come looking for him.

What a missed opportunity to host the Education Department’s leadership!

Ding Yue then put his cell phone to his ear, continuing his conversation with Professor Zhou Wen: "So that’s how it is. But there is good news to share with you, Professor Shen, and Professor Wang."

"What good news? Old Shen and Old Wang are in my office right now." Professor Zhou Wen questioned curiously.

"It’s like this. Our GaN Semiconductor Material Technology will be used in fast-charging of mobile phones and other electronic devices. Chairman Lei Ren of Dami Technology Group has already contacted me and I’ve decided to authorize Dami Technology Group. You professors will get your deserved share of the profits. I estimate, not only Dami Technology Group will want the authorization, but other mobile phone manufacturers as well. Consequently, your annual income could exceed ten million yuan within the next year!"

Ding Yue relayed this authorization news to Professor Zhou Wen.

"That much?"

Hearing this, Professor Zhou Wen became both excited and happy, something that professors like him could hardly dare to dream of.

Although he had a good package teaching at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology and also earned some profits from Mist City Arts and Science University, an annual income exceeding ten million yuan was indeed a significant amount.

"That’s just my conservative estimate. After we at the Feiyue Group have negotiated the specific authorization details with various mobile phone manufacturers, there should be even more!"

Ding Yue declared confidently.

For a semiconductor material technology that influences mobile phone fast-charge technology and is also desired by domestic big-brand mobile phone manufacturers, the authorization fee inevitably won’t be low.

Ding Yue initially estimated that with no authorization fee upwards of a hundred million yuan, obtaining it from each mobile phone manufacturer could be challenging.

Because the principle is simple!

Chairman Lei Ren of Dami Technology Group is certain to receive authorization for GaN Semiconductor Material Technology. In other words, Dami Technology Group’s new mobile phone models next spring will offer wireless fast charging, a huge advantage for mobile phones.

If other mobile phone manufacturers don’t immediately catch up with this technology, their products will fall behind accordingly.

Originally, after receiving authorization, Dami Technology Group planned to be the earliest mobile phone manufacturer to release a new model with a GaN wireless fast charger by next spring.

If other mobile phone manufacturers don’t catch up with GaN wireless fast-charging technology, then they are essentially unable to compete with Dami Technology Group’s mobile phones in terms of charging.

If the decreased shipment volume caused by this leads to losses, it won’t be a matter of losing one or two hundred million yuan, but a drop in market share!

"It’s unimaginable. If it weren’t for you, Principal Ding, I guess, GaN Semiconductor Material Technology would be difficult to complete even after we, old Shen and old Wang, retire. We could only watch other universities or institutions realize it. By then, it would be a real regret!"

Professor Zhou Wen was emotional as he said to Ding Yue: "It’s thanks to you, Principal Ding, that our life-long regrets have been remedied."

Professors Zhou Wen, Shen Congde, and Wang Shangzhong have devoted their lives to researching semiconductor materials.

They also studied the second-generation semiconductor materials in the past, but the research of third-generation semiconductor materials has not made much progress for many years.

All three professors are getting old and may retire in a few years.

Although GaN Semiconductor Material Technology might be mature and applicable in one or two years, it would still be a regret for the three professors because they did not realize it.

Now the successful application of GaN Semiconductor Material Technology has been realized ahead of schedule, and it was accomplished with the participation of the three professors.

This regret!

It has been remedied. In truth, since Professor Zhou Wen learned the news this morning, he has been excited till now.

Professors Shen Congde and Wang Shangzhong felt the same as Professor Zhou Wen.

Their regret in the field of GaN Semiconductor Material Technology has been remedied, and they owe it all to one person.

That person is Ding Yue!

This young genius in the physics of semiconductor materials!

It was Ding Yue’s graduation thesis that gave Professor Zhou Wen hope, leading to a series of collaborations. He also provided critical solutions.

Whenever they encountered difficulties in the research process, Principal Ding would tirelessly find a solution to overcome the challenges, eventually realizing the mature application of GaN Semiconductor Material Technology.

"Professor Zhou, you’re too kind. It’s the result of our joint efforts," says Ding Yue with much humility.

In reality, Professors Zhou Wen, Shen Congde, and Wang Shangzhong were merely tools in Ding Yue’s strategy.

Ding Yue already has the system’s reward of [GaN Semiconductor Material Technology], so he could master the technology alone.

But having the three professors from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology as cover is the best option. Moreover, it can also make Mist City Arts and Science University and Jiangnan University of Science and Technology cooperate in the academic field. The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
