Chapter 641: Chapter 380: The First Batch of Early Graduation Ceremony (Seeking Subscription) _2

"However, 200 million is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the research of photolithography machines.

Ding Yue has indeed endowed Luo Peng, Su Beilin, Tong Yihang, and Liu Tiefei, all participants in the photolithography machine experimental project, with the relevant technical knowledge.

But to turn technical knowledge into tangible results of photolithography machine research and development, there are inevitably various money-consuming steps in between.

Domestic companies like Guoxing Technology are actually carrying out R&D on photolithography machines. But due to technical barriers, many technologies lack any precedent and can only rely on their own exploration. Therefore, R&D funds are simply sky high.

However, under normal circumstances, these large tech companies are supported by state funds.

As far as Ding Yue knows, the state has already given Guoxing Technology Group hundreds of billions of RMB in support funds for photolithography machines and chip research, allowing Guoxing Technology to mass-produce 24nm and 12nm chips, and make 7nm chips.

Even so, domestically, there is still a gap held open by foreign countries in this field.

"Don’t worry about the money."

Ding Yue raised his hand and said generously.

It’s almost the end of the year now. If all goes well, the box office earnings from the animated film "Super Combat Team" can be settled.

Once the money is in hand, Ding Yue plans to inject another round of funds into the photolithography machine project, so that Luo Peng and Tong Yihang can successfully push the project forward.

It should at least last till September next year.

Because by next September, Mist City Arts and Science University will welcome another batch of freshmen. And by then, the more than 30,000 existing freshmen will be due to pay their tuition for the new year, which is a significant sum of money.

"Okay, since Principal Ding has said so, we can rest assured and continue the photolithography machine project. We will also optimize and improve the graphene mechanical stripping preparation machine you assigned to us as soon as possible."

While Luo Peng had just finished speaking, a figure appeared at the office door.

"Director Qi."

Secretary Wen Ruohan looked at Principal Ding upon seeing that the newcomer was Director Qi Chunsheng from the Academic Affairs Office.

"Principal Ding seems busy, I will come back later?" Qi Chunsheng, seemingly interrupting, proposed to leave first.

He can visit later when Principal Ding is not busy, as what he has to report to Principal Ding isn’t that urgent anyway.

"Director Qi, it’s okay. We’re almost done."

Ding Yue stopped Director Qi Chunsheng and said to Luo Peng and Tong Yihang: "Okay, you guys can go."

"Goodbye, Principal Ding."

After Luo Peng and Tong Yihang left, Qi Chunsheng approached Principal Ding’s desk.

"Go ahead, what is it?"

Ding Yue lifted his head slightly, indicating for Qi to sit down.

Qi Chunsheng is of advanced age - it’s not reasonable to have him standing during work reports.

Sitting down, Qi Chunsheng seriously stated, "Principal Ding, as for the proposal to prepare an early graduation ceremony that you mentioned last time, we, the Academic Affairs Office, have almost finished preparations. The first batch of nine students has passed their thesis defenses, and we have prepared their graduation certificates."

Having said that, Qi Chunsheng took out a stack of prepared graduation certificates.

"What about the Student Credit Network?" Ding Yue asked.

To allow early graduations, documentation must be submitted to the Ministry of Education. The Student Credit Network will then update the academic information in a timely manner," Qi Chunsheng answered.

Ding Yue doesn’t know much about the details of early graduations in this parallel world of Xia Country, hence his enquiry with Qi Chunsheng.

"Alright, then we will schedule the graduation ceremony for these nine students at this year’s New Year’s Eve Gala," Ding Yue finalized.

There are only a few days left in 2021 and with 2022 forthcoming. Holding an early graduation ceremony for nine students and inserting a mini graduation ceremony into the New Year’s Eve Gala on the 31st would be their first gift of the New Year.

"Principal Ding, this idea is excellent. Many students will be watching the New Year’s Eve Gala. Including a graduation ceremony for nine students would also be lovely. I will discuss this with Director Xiong later."

Upon listening, Qi Chunsheng agreed with Principal Ding’s timing arrangement and suggestion.

The director of the Sports Department, Xiong Yang, started planning this year’s New Year’s Eve Gala a month ago. To insert the mini graduation ceremony for Xu Bin and the other eight students into the New Year’s Eve Gala needs some coordination and arrangement.

"Right, Qi, to better motivate our students, each of the nine students graduating early will be awarded a bonus of One Hundred Thousand Yuan. We will also establish an Early Graduation Bonus mechanism. Any student that can manage to graduate within two years, completing all four years of university study, will receive a bonus of One Hundred Thousand Yuan!"

Ding Yue thought for a moment, offering this reward could serve as a significant motivation for students.

After all, there are quite a number of potential students with the ability to graduate early in Mist City Arts and Science University, all they need is a bit more encouragement to push them to work harder and master their university-level knowledge. And then, they can graduate successfully and even early.

"Principal Ding, are you sure you want to give out such a huge sum of bonus?" Director Qi Chunsheng asked, frowning.

"Yes!"

Ding Yue replied firmly: "As for the money, one hundred thousand yuan per person is not much. The students who can graduate early like them are rare talents that come once in a century!"

"Well, if Principal Ding says it is okay, then I will start with the preparations!"

In the last few days of December 2021, the weather unanticipatedly warmed up briefly.

Especially on the 30th and 31st, the sunshine was particularly delightful.

However, when it came to the start of the New Year’s Eve Gala in the evening, the temperature dropped again.

This year’s New Year’s Eve Gala was held in the stadium, all faculty and students of the school can come and watch, and the arrangement of the performances was coordinated by Director Xiong Yang along with the Department of Arts, Student Union, and various clubs.

At around seven in the evening, the New Year’s Eve Gala was about to start.

Ding Yue brought his secretary Wen Ruohan and his younger sister Ding Xiaoyou, two beautiful girls, to the stadium.

Soon, Xu Bin and Huang Youjie also arrived.

"Yue, in the blink of an eye, another year has passed," Xu Bin said with a sigh after standing by Ding Yue’s side.

"Yeah."

Ding Yue responded with a smile and a nod.

Last year, no, it would be the year before last once today is over. Back then, Ding Yue, Xu Bin, and Huang Youjie prepared to set up a fake university to deceive their parents.

Unexpectedly, due to Ding Yue’s system, this fake university became real.

Now, it feels like it’s been a long time since that happened.

"Bin brother, Youjie brother, I heard that you guys are going to have an early graduation ceremony at the New Year’s Eve Gala tonight?"

Ding Xiaoyou turned to Xu Bin and Huang Youjie and asked.

Ding Xiaoyou was Ding Yue’s younger sister. Since Xu Bin and Huang Youjie were of the same age as Ding Yue and had grown up together, Ding Xiaoyou usually called them brothers.

"Yes, hahaha, I’m going to graduate from college!" Huang Youjie laughed heartily with a beaming face.

He never imagined that he could go to university, let alone graduate early.

Without a doubt, choosing to follow Ding Yue and engage in this venture indeed was the right decision. Ever since joining the university founded by Ding Yue, Huang Youjie felt that his daily enthusiasm for learning was much stronger than before.

"Later, I’ll be personally giving you your graduation certificates. Our Mist City Arts and Science University is a government-recognized private university. The graduation certificates are also nationally recognized bachelor’s degrees. Oh right, in addition, each of you will also receive a one hundred thousand yuan graduation bonus!"

Ding Yue said to Xu Bin and Huang Youjie, smiling.

"Wow, we have such a treatment?" Xu Bin exclaimed in surprise.

Although one hundred thousand yuan was not a large sum for Xu Bin and Huang Youjie anymore.

However, it was still a graduation bonus. The implication was not the same.

"Brother, is there a graduation bonus? If every graduating student gets one hundred thousand yuan, won’t we go bankrupt?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Xiaoyou couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Immediately, Ding Yue gave his sister, Ding Xiaoyou, a flick on the forehead: "Have you been studying too hard and become silly? How could we give every graduating student one hundred thousand yuan graduation bonus? This bonus is a reward for outstanding students who graduate early, and they must graduate within two years!"

Obviously, this one hundred thousand yuan graduation bonus has a threshold.

"I see."

As the blasting music rang out from the stadium stage, this year’s New Year’s Eve Gala officially kicked off...
