And the biotech ink, that is, the biotissue cell material technology patent, was in the hands of Professor Yang Kaining.

"Principal Ding, rest assured, I plan to sign a biotech ink technology licensing agreement with you before I leave,"

Professor Yang Kaining said very straightforwardly.

This licensing agreement was definitely going to be signed since Professor Yang Kaining understood that if it wasn’t signed, the biotech ink technology would have no other use in his hands.

It could only achieve its full value in combination with Mist City Arts and Science University’s 3D bioprinter.

As a scientist in the field of life sciences, what Professor Yang Kaining wanted was for his technology to be truly applied to human beings and make some contributions to medicine and the life sciences.

"That’s really great."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue nodded happily and said, "Professor Yang, rest assured, after signing the agreement, the portion of the profits from your patent technology that you are entitled to will be promptly transferred to your account once our equipment starts to commercialize."

Licensing such patent technology generally wouldn’t involve a one-time buyout, as the prospects are very good, and choosing a certain percentage of the profits would undoubtedly be the best option.

Ding Yue didn’t plan to take any advantage in this regard concerning Professor Yang Kaining; his vision wasn’t limited to that. The key was to keep Professor Yang Kaining at his own Mist City Arts and Science University.

Because once Professor Yang Kaining decided to stay, Ding Yue could not only complete his system task but also enhance the strength of Mist City Arts and Science University. Most importantly, if there were further research in the fields of life sciences and biomedical science, it would be much more convenient.

"Alright."

Professor Yang Kaining nodded.

But soon after, Professor Yang Kaining added, "Principal Ding, I wish to allocate a portion of my biotech ink patent technology profits to establish a Life Science Fund at your university. What do you think?"

"To establish a Life Science Fund at our Mist City Arts and Science University?" Upon hearing this, Ding Yue immediately showed a hint of joy.

"Yes."

Professor Yang Kaining said with a smile, "Principal Ding, the medical school at your Mist City Arts and Science University, as well as the majors related to life sciences, all have great potential for development, which I am very optimistic about. Therefore, I would like to contribute a modest effort — let’s say twenty percent of the profits from my patent technology."

"That much?"

Ding Yue felt somewhat surprised.

He never expected Professor Yang Kaining to be willing to set up a Life Science Fund at his own Mist City Arts and Science University.

Furthermore, it was to be twenty percent of the patent technology profits.

That is to say, if in the future a single deal for a 3D bioprinter brought in a profit share of 10 million yuan for Professor Yang Kaining,

then Professor Yang Kaining would actually be willing to contribute 2 million yuan of that to Mist City Arts and Science University for a Life Science Fund.

At that moment, Principal Xu Dongcheng finally understood what Principal Ding meant by his earlier statement.

Professor Yang Kaining was indeed not motivated by money.

Otherwise, who would be willing without any hesitation to allocate twenty percent of their patent technology profit share, beyond any obligation, to establish a Life Science Fund for someone else’s university?

This Life Science Fund would undoubtedly be used for teaching and research related to life sciences at Mist City Arts and Science University in the future.

"Then on behalf of our Mist City Arts and Science University, as well as the students studying majors related to life sciences, I thank you, Professor Yang."

Ding Yue expressed his sincere thanks.

"It’s a good thing indeed. Who would have thought that Professor Yang is so concerned about life science research in our country? Principal Ding, how about this, I will also contribute an equivalent amount to the Life Science Fund mentioned by Professor Yang,"

After some thought, Principal Xu Dongcheng decided to follow suit.

"Principal Xu, why is this?" Ding Yue couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"This 3D bioprinting technology essentially saved my daughter’s life. It’s only right that I do this,"

Xu Dongcheng had his reasons ready.

When it came to spending money, Xu Dongcheng was never indecisive, for he lacked nothing except money.

"Then on behalf of the school and the students, I also thank Principal Xu. With your and Professor Yang’s contributions to the Life Science Fund, I believe that the field of life sciences at Mist City Arts and Science University has a limitless future!"

Ding Yue thanked him again.

"Professor Yang, if you could stay as the manager of this fund, that would be more than wonderful,"

At this moment, Principal Xu Dongcheng felt as if an opportunity had presented itself, so he took another indirect approach to discuss the matter of staying with Professor Yang Kaining.

Ding Yue felt that Principal Xu Dongcheng’s timing was quite good. If he hadn’t mentioned it, perhaps he himself would have brought it up later on.

However, now that Principal Xu Dongcheng had already broached the subject, Ding Yue thought, why not perform a bit of reverse psychology?

Thus, Ding Yue raised his hand and said to Principal Xu Dongcheng, "Principal Xu, look at what you’re saying. Professor Yang is a professor at the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology. He wouldn’t possibly have the time to stay."

Upon hearing this from Principal Ding, Xu Dongcheng was a bit confused at first.

But quickly, Xu Dongcheng caught on. After all, Xu Dongcheng was a man in his forties and was quick to react to this kind of situation.

Could it be that Principal Ding was speaking ironically?

Professor Yang Kaining simply nodded slightly, saying nothing.

Then, Ding Yue took the opportunity to continue, "Of course, if Professor Yang really could stay, that would indeed be an honor for Mist City Arts and Science University."

Finally, Ding Yue got to the heart of the matter.

"Principal Ding, do you want me to stay?" Professor Yang Kaining suddenly asked directly.

"Of course,"

Ding Yue nodded immediately, without any hesitation and said, "If Professor Yang could stay with us at Mist City Arts and Science University, I would wake up laughing from my dreams. However, considering that you are a great professor at the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, I’m afraid that may just be wishful thinking on my part."

"In fact, Professor Yang, our domestic environment for graduate studies in life sciences is quite good,"

At this time, President Jiang Zhongbo began to assist Ding Yue.

"Hmm."

Professor Yang Kaining nodded again.

"Professor Yang, I wonder what you are thinking?" Ding Yue still wanted to know exactly what Professor Yang Kaining had in mind.

"This matter is too difficult to make a decision in a hurry," Professor Yang Kaining said with a smile. "Principal Ding, if I stay at Mist City Arts and Science University, all the conditions I need for life science research, I wonder if you..."

"Satisfy them all, that’s the very least," Ding Yue replied immediately.

With this firm response from Principal Ding, Professor Yang Kaining felt somewhat reassured, but the hardest hurdle was still psychological.

After all, having spent so much time at the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, leaving now would indeed be a difficult choice.

But Professor Yang Kaining himself understood well that he had a sentiment of homecoming for Xia Country.

If he could truly return to his home country and continue his research in life sciences, then the rest of his life would also be perfect.

Ding Yue could see that Professor Yang Kaining appeared to be struggling with the decision, which suggested that deep down he truly entertained the idea.

This was a good sign.

However, Ding Yue also understood that now was not the time to rush; Professor Yang Kaining needed some time.

"Professor Yang, this is indeed a very significant matter for you. Perhaps you should go back and think it over carefully?"

This time, Ding Yue decided to make a strategic retreat.

When Xu Dongcheng heard this, he thought, good lord, after going back to think it over, if Professor Yang really went back, would he still be able to return?

Shouldn’t they try every possible means to make Professor Yang decide to stay while he is still in the country?

Professor Yang Kaining simply nodded slightly again, providing no definite response to Ding Yue.

At tonight’s dinner, Ding Yue did not press the issue further and did not bring up the topic of Professor Yang Kaining staying again.

He knew when to stop pushing.

The next steps would depend on what Professor Yang Kaining himself wanted.

After dinner, Ding Yue had the university arrange for apartments, allowing Professor Yang, Dean Jiang, and Principal Xu to stay at the university for the night.
