Chapter 665: Chapter 392: The Dilemma of the Researcher (Second Update, Please Subscribe)_2

This seemed like an impossible feat.

But Xu Dongcheng didn’t want to give up just like that. He reached out and gently tugged on Ding Yue’s clothes.

Ding Yue felt Principal Xu Dongcheng tugging softly on his clothes and instantly understood the underlying intent.

He must be urging him to continue the negotiation.

"But Professor Yang, our 3D biological printer and technology are really just missing your biological tissue materials. If it really comes down to it, we can buy..."

Ding Yue knew that discussing money was usually the last resort.

For those conducting experimental research, money is indeed important. However, for Professor Yang Kaining, it might not hold the same weight.

Because by now, Professor Yang Kaining must be well-off, and at Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, he can always apply for funding from the institution for any research project.

Upon hearing Ding talk about money, Professor Yang Kaining immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Ding Yue felt hopeful.

Ding Yue considered that although Professor Yang Kaining has no lack of funding for teaching and research at the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, some of the research outcomes would belong to the institution.

Unless Professor Yang Kaining funds all the experimental researches out of his own pocket.

This is the ruthless influence of capitalism!

"Professor Yang, how much is your asking price?" Xu Dongcheng noticed that it seemed possible to buy Professor Yang Kaining’s biological tissue material technology, so he immediately stood up and inquired.

"Principal Xu, don’t rush. I think Professor Yang must have other considerations, right?" Ding Yue felt that it might not just be about money.

If it was solely about money, Professor Yang should have clarified at the beginning.

Professor Yang sighed once again and nodded, "Indeed, Principal Ding. You might think conducting research abroad is very secure. In reality, foreign investors have tight control over research funding. Although I have never lacked funds during my years of biological research at Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, I have little say in the results of my research."

"Because the money comes from others, right?" Ding Yue could feel the helplessness revealed by Professor Yang’s words.

"Yes."

Professor Yang Kaining took a deep breath and continued, "Actually, I have considered returning to our homeland, but it’s really hard to secure substantial research funding back home. And it’s not too easy abroad either. There is capital, but the producible outcomes, they all belong to the capitalists. The capitalists can do whatever they want with it. For us biological researchers, if some of our technology is not applied properly, it can create a lot of problems."

"Professor Yang, I understand how you feel"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue instantly realized this was an opportunity.

"Professor Yang..." Just when Xu Dongcheng was about to say something, he was immediately stopped by Ding Yue.

At this point, there’s no need for Principal Xu Dongcheng to say more and risk saying something wrong.

Because Ding Yue could feel that as a leading figure in the field of biological science, Professor Yang Kaining had a mental scale.

If one was not careful when weighing on this scale, it could easily tip into a collapse.

At that moment, Ding Yue was contemplating the scale in Professor Yang Kaining’s heart.

"Professor Yang, if you could come to the Mist City Arts and Science University, we can provide you with a research environment and capital that do not belong to the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology. And we will respect your ideas for your research outcomes. Would you consider it?"

Ding Yue directly extended an olive branch to Professor Yang Kaining.

If not now, when to extend an olive branch?

Ding Yue felt this was a golden opportunity, as Professor Yang Kaining revealed his "helplessness" at the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology.

"Oh?"

Professor Yang Kaining didn’t directly refuse at once, instead, he seemed somewhat surprised.

This gave Ding Yue a feeling there might be a chance.

If he could directly recruit Professor Yang Kaining to his Mist City Arts and Science University, it would be absolutely thrilling.

This would be like getting it right in one go. If he could successfully recruit Professor Yang Kaining, then applying his biomaterials technology in 3D bioprinting machines would be incredibly straightforward, wouldn’t it?

"Principal Ding, this matter is extraordinary, I can’t just because of a few words from you..."

Professor Yang Kaining also didn’t respond immediately to Ding Yue’s invitation.

"I understand, I naturally do." Ding Yue nodded and said with a smile.

By this point, some time had already passed. Before Professor Yang Kaining’s arrival, Ding Yue had already had quite a bit of water, and now he wanted to take a trip to the restroom, so he stood up and asked, "Um, Professor Yang, where is the restroom?"

"Well... I actually need to go too." Seeing this, Professor Yang Kaining smiled, got up from his office chair, and took Ding Yue to the restroom.

Principal Xu Dongcheng was quite anxious here.

Could the deal be closed or not? But it wasn’t appropriate for him to ask straight out, so he could only observe Principal Ding’s actions.

As Ding Yue and Professor Yang Kaining went to the restroom together, as they finished washing their hands, Professor Yang Kaining asked about Principal Xu Dongcheng, "Principal Ding, I noticed that Principal Xu Dongcheng seems very eager for my potential participation in your biomedical engineering program at the university. Do you know why?"

"Ah, well, it’s a long story."

Ding Yue saw Professor Yang Kaining asking about this and secretly rejoiced. Then he sighed and prepared to present the ’card’ about Principal Xu Dongcheng’s situation.

Indeed.

Principal Xu Dongcheng’s situation was a ’card’ that Ding Yue had prepared at the last minute, something akin to playing an emotional card.

But when he was talking to Professor Yang Kaining earlier, he didn’t get a chance to mention it.

Now that Professor Yang Kaining had asked about it, Ding Yue prepared to play this card, to see if it could increase the possibility of Professor Yang Kaining’s participation in the biomedical engineering program of his Mist City Arts and Science University, or even his willingness to join his university.

"Oh?"

After washing his hands, Professor Yang Kaining didn’t rush back to his office.

From the look of it, he was planning to listen to what Ding Yue had to say about Principal Xu Dongcheng.

"Principal Xu Dongcheng has a daughter who just came of age. She’s in the prime of her life, but she’s been struck by liver disease. Given Principal Xu’s economic resources, affording the medical treatment shouldn’t be a problem. However, the liver source needed for his daughter’s operation is very difficult to find."

Ding Yue briefly explained Principal Xu Dongcheng’s situation to Professor Yang.

"So... Principal Xu is pinning his hopes on 3D Bio-printing technology?" Professor Yang Kaining slightly furrowed his brows as he asked.

"Exactly."

Ding Yue nodded.

As expected of Professor Yang Kaining. After hearing the situation of Principal Xu Dongcheng, he immediately connected the dots.

"No wonder Principal Xu just... Life is priceless, especially for a lively young girl."

Professor Yang Kaining let out a sigh and continued, "But... it will probably take some time before 3D Bioprinting technology can be put into widespread use, right?"

"Yes, but if you can provide us with your biomaterials technology, I think it can happen very soon, definitely within this year!" Upon hearing Professor Yang Kaining ask this, Ding Yue felt there might be a chance.

"Principal Ding, you’re so confident?" Professor Yang Kaining looked at Ding Yue with a very serious gaze and asked.

"Yes!" Ding Yue nodded affirmatively. "Our 3D bioprinting machines and related technology at Mist City Arts and Science University will definitely be the most advanced across the globe. As long as we have your biomaterials technology, Professor Yang, applying 3D bioprinting in the field of biomedical engineering and saving one life after another is within reach."
