Chapter 749: Chapter 432: Foreign Predators (Request for Subscription)_2

Xiao Wenxing continued to speak.

"Hmm."

Mayor Li Xian nodded, somewhat surprised and pleased with Director Xiao Wenxing’s view.

What surprised him was that a very young university could become one of the top universities in the field of private education within a decade.

To be one of the best private universities in the country, one should be on par with Double First Class Universities in terms of strength.

So far, no university has been able to do this. Even Westlight University, a private university that is strong and has a good reputation, can hardly compete with Double First Class Universities.

"Mayor Li, Mist City Arts and Science University is a private university that can bring us unexpected and incredible achievements. Thanks to Principal Ding’s substantial investment, coupled with the excellent learning atmosphere among the students, I, as the head of the Education Bureau, am very optimistic about Mist City Arts and Science University."

What Director Xiao Wenxing said was in a way standing up for Mist City Arts and Science University.

Seeing that the Director of the Education Bureau spoke in such a way, Li Xian couldn’t help but have some expectations for this private university.

After all, to make such notable achievements in the field of energy technology that are valued by the country shows that it is really not simple.

Next, Xiao Wenxing told Mayor Li that the reason why Mist City Arts and Science University was able to make achievements in graphene energy technology was due to the young super genius, the College Entrance Examination Champion Ding Xiaoyou, who was personally praised by the vice-president of Xia Country Academy of Sciences as a promising student.

Thus, under the introduction of Ding Yue, Mayor Li Xian chatted with Ding Xiaoyou.

The foundation-laying ceremony here was all ready.

The head of the Architecture Department, Chen Ping, came over and informed Principal Ding: "Principal Ding, everything is ready, it’s about time, shall we start the foundation-laying ceremony?"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue said to Mayor Li Xian: "Mayor Li, we can start now."

At this moment, Chen Ping, with the help of the on-site staff, started to distribute shovels to the leaders of Mist City Arts and Sciences University and the leaders of Mist City.

In front of everyone was a pit filled with soil. In the middle of the pit, there was a stone tablet, with the word "Foundation-Laying" written on it, and a line of small characters that read "Graphene Industry Project".

The leaders of Mist City Arts and Science University, and those from Mist City, holding their shovels, began to lay the foundation!

The solemn foundation-laying ceremony officially began.

This process was actually a ceremony. During the ceremony, the media rushed forward to take photos or live stream.

This foundation-laying ceremony mainly conveyed the message that Mist City, or more specifically Xia Country, was starting the construction of the graphene industry.

The netizens couldn’t help but get excited.

Foreign netizens, on the other hand, were mostly skeptical, believing that Xia Country was just putting on a show.

After the foundation-laying ceremony, Mayor Li Xian of Mist City delivered a speech, mainly expressing strong support for the establishment of the graphene industry of Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group.

Meanwhile.

In the tower of Ike Technology Group in the United States, Der • Eckx and Christopher Brown were watching this live broadcast from Xia Country.

"Christopher, look at this, Xia Country is really good at showmanship," Der • Eckx said with disdain while smoking a cigar, "Wait until our Aike Tech’s graphene technology is officially released. Let them see what real technological prowess is!"

In Der • Eckx’s view, everything Xia Country was doing seemed to be throwing up a smokescreen.

Not to mention the incredible graphene technology developed by a private university in Xia Country, he thought this was just a pipe dream.

"Der, we have invested $850 million in the research of graphene-related technology in the first phase, you know? It’s not a small investment," Christopher Brown said with a bit of anxiety.

"The birth of technology often involves piling up money. Don’t you understand this, Christopher?" Der • Eckx shrugged and replied.

"Of course I understand!" Christopher • Brown nodded, "What I mean is, we must have a certain understanding of Xia Country’s progress in the field of graphene technology."

"How are we supposed to understand that?" Der • Eckx asked, puzzled.

"Didn’t they say that the technology wasn’t developed at Mist City Arts and Science University? We could..."

Christopher Brown leaned in close to Der • Eckx, whispering something in his ear.

...

After the groundbreaking ceremony at the graphene factory.

Ding Yue courteously invited the leaders of Mist City to visit his Mist City Arts and Science University.

Mayor Li Xian was initially quite busy.

However, after hearing Director Xiao Wenxing’s opinion and evaluation of Mist City Arts and Science University, Mayor Li Xian eventually decided to visit the university to see for himself whether it really was as Director Xiao Wenxing had claimed.

In theory.

Ding Yue’s invitation to the city leaders to visit his university was just a formality, a polite gesture.

After all, he thought leaders like Mayor Li Xian must be very busy, and they would surely leave soon after the groundbreaking ceremony.

Unexpectedly though, lo and behold, Mayor Li Xian did agree to visit the Mist City Arts and Science University.

However, this didn’t worry Ding Yue, who believed that the everyday appearance of his university would impress the leaders without doubt.

"Mayor Li, let us head to the campus now," Ding Yue cordially invited Mayor Li Xian and his retinue.

"Sure!"

The group promptly departed from the ceremony site, leaving Chen Ping, the head of the architecture department, to handle the follow-up tasks at the site.

Ding Yue had to lead the city’s leaders on a thorough tour of his university.

"Yue, this is the first time that the top leader of Mist City and all the department heads have visited our university, isn’t it?"

"If we could get the top official personnel to visit our Mist City Arts and Science University one day, that would really be something."

"We’re already pretty impressive."

On the way to Mist City Arts and Science University, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin engaged in a car voice chat with Ding Yue, subtly boasting.

"Alright, already! You two are getting excited already? Our university is poised to rise to the status of a world-leading institute. At that time, everyone in the world will yearn to study here! Huang, you must instruct the logistic staff to check the situation on campus straight away. We can’t have any problems."

Ding Yue interrupted Huang Youjie and Xu Bin’s conversation, instructed Huang Youjie, who’s in charge of logistics, to check the university’s situation while there were still no visitors around.

At the very least, he had to make sure that the university was functioning normally without any minor or major issues today.

"Okay," replied Huang Youjie.

Since graphene factory was not far from Mist City Arts and Science University, they reached the road outside the university gate after a short drive.

Just as they were about to arrive at the gate, Ding Yue noticed that Mayor Li Xian’s and Director Xiao’s cars seemed to have stopped by the roadside.

"What’s happening? Weren’t they allowed to drive directly in? Huang, didn’t you inform the security staff at the gate to let them through?" Ding Yue asked Huang, puzzled.

"They were informed," Huang replied.

"Then what’s going on?" Ding Yue frowned.

By rule, on this inspection visit to his university, Mayor Li Xian and the others’ cars should have been allowed to drive straight in and park in the parking lot and not stopped outside the gate.

However, their cars had stopped by the roadside.

As Ding Yue’s car pulled up a little closer, he saw students crowding the square in front of his university’s gate.

"Huang, did you inform the students to come and welcome the visiting leaders?" Ding Yue asked Huang urgently.

"No, I didn’t!"
