Speaking of which.

During the bidding process, as the price had reached two hundred million yuan, only three or four universities were still in contention.

Among them, Southeast Aviation University and East Sea Hope University initially were neck and neck.

One was a public university, and the other was a private one; they were at it until the bid reached around 230 million yuan, at which point East Sea Hope University gave up.

Southeast Aviation University had clenched its teeth to reach that price too.

They thought they were about to triumphantly secure the domestic C919 large aircraft.

But what they hadn’t anticipated at all was this.

At that moment, Mist City Arts and Science University, which had up till then not made a bid, suddenly entered the fray.

Ding Yue directly added 15 million onto the 230 million yuan bid!

The price shot up to 245 million yuan!

Southeast Aviation University was dumbfounded on the spot; pursuing the bid further wasn’t practicable, but if they didn’t, they would have to concede to the deep-pocketed Mist City Arts and Science University.

The reason Ding Yue added fifteen million in one go was to show Southeast Aviation University that he had the strength to increase the bid by 15 million yuan all at once on top of such a high baseline price.

If you plan to follow, then follow with 15 million, and let’s determine a winner.

Clearly, Southeast Aviation University hesitated, and after that hesitation, they chose to give up, not competing with Mist City Arts and Science University.

Although they could have added five million, the other side had raised the bid by 15 million in one fell swoop to 245 million yuan. An additional five million would make it 250 million yuan, which was already way beyond Southeast Aviation University’s budget.

But it was estimated that Mist City Arts and Science University could still increase the bid.

Therefore, Southeast Aviation University ultimately decided to withdraw.

And so, Mist City Arts and Science University won the auction for the domestic C919 large aircraft at a price of 245 million yuan!

After securing the domestic C919 large aircraft, Ding Yue immediately informed Director Song Wankong of the Aerospace College at his university.

Director Song Wankong had initially said he was going to notify the students right away.

But Ding Yue thought about it for a bit and decided to do it himself, so he asked Director Song Wankong to add him to the Aerospace College group chat. The moment he entered, he saw Chang Wei beating up Lai Fu... No, he saw the students fooling around with colors!

"Principal Ding, it looks like everyone really wanted that domestic C919 aircraft, but in the end, you won it with a hefty bid. Congratulations."

Principal Xu Dongcheng laughed and said to Ding Yue.

"This domestic C919 aircraft is of extraordinary significance to our Aerospace College at Mist City Arts and Science University," Ding Yue stated with profound meaning.

Though no one would understand why a privately run university, with an Aerospace College that was not exceptionally distinguished, would be willing to spend 245 million yuan to purchase a domestic C919 aircraft.

Only Ding Yue himself knew best that this aircraft was the key to unlocking the potential of Mist City Arts and Science University’s Aerospace College.

After the auction ended, delegates from other universities also came over to congratulate Ding Yue.

Vice Principal Liu from Southeast Aviation University was magnanimous, shaking hands with Ding Yue and saying, "Principal Ding, I’ve long heard of your remarkable achievements at a young age, and I didn’t expect to meet you here today."

"You flatter me, Vice Principal Liu," Ding Yue humbly responded.

This deputy principal was from a national key university and held considerable status.

"Principal Ding, with your institution having secured the domestic C919 at such a high cost, are you perhaps planning to vigorously develop your Aerospace College?" Vice Principal Liu inquired.

"Yes, that is indeed the plan. Plus, as you may know, Vice Principal Liu, Mist City Arts and Science University is a new institution, and our Aerospace College does have a fair number of students. We truly lack practical teaching equipment, which is why we decided to purchase this domestic C919 aircraft," Ding Yue explained with a smile.

"Hahaha, Principal Ding, your point is well taken. I’ve heard good things about your students. If in the future the students from your Aerospace College consider pursuing graduate studies, maybe they can think about Southeast Aviation University," Vice Principal Liu said as he reached out and lightly patted Ding Yue’s shoulder.

Ding Yue was younger than Vice Principal Liu and said nothing when he was patted on the shoulder, just smiling along: "Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right, Vice Principal Liu."

In reality.

In his mind, Ding Yue was thinking: My, aren’t you wishful thinking!

"The student I’ve painstakingly cultivated is considering pursuing postgraduate studies at Southeast Aviation University?"

"Doesn’t that mean I, Mist City Arts and Science University, have essentially prepared them for your benefit?"

Ding Yue certainly wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. Generally, if his own students wanted to pursue postgraduate studies, he would do everything in his power to ensure that they stayed at Mist City Arts and Science University.

And in most cases, the majority of students would indeed prefer to stay.

Because Mist City Arts and Science University has given them a sense of home. Here, they could immerse themselves in a better learning atmosphere and benefit from the efficiency of the university.

If there really were students wanting to leave Mist City Arts and Science University,

Ding Yue wouldn’t forcibly keep them.

After all, that wouldn’t be right.

It’s just that,

if a student really left Mist City Arts and Science University to pursue postgraduate studies elsewhere, for example, if a student from the School of Aerospace Engineering went to Southeast Aviation University, then there was nothing to be done as it was the student’s own choice. From then on, that student would no longer enjoy the learning BUFF of Mist City Arts and Science University.

And once they lost the learning BUFF provided by Mist City Arts and Science University, they could only gradually revert to their former "underachieving" selves.

After chatting for a while with Vice Principal Liu from Southeast Aviation University, a manager from Summer Aviation Group and the person in charge of the auction came over to find Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, thank you for bidding on our domestic C919 large aircraft. Although the engine of this aircraft has some defects, we will replace it with a healthy engine," said Manager Wang, smiling at Ding Yue.

"Replace the engine?"

Ding Yue asked curiously, "What about the original engine?"

"If Principal Ding is interested, we will also send over the original engine designed exclusively for the domestic C919 large aircraft to your school, although... it is a defective engine," Manager Wang quickly replied.

If it weren’t for the defect in the engine, this domestic C919 large aircraft would definitely not be up for auction here.

It would either be normally delivered as per orders or sent back for remanufacture. It’s just that because of special circumstances, many universities expressed interest in this slightly problematic domestic C919 large aircraft.

Therefore, after some consideration, Summer Aviation Group decided to use this domestic C919 large aircraft for the academic field of Xia Country’s aviation universities.

"Alright, let’s proceed that way," Ding Yue said with a nod and a smile upon hearing this.

"Sure, we will disassemble the aircraft and deliver it to Mist City Arts and Science University within a half month, completing the assembly. All of this will be handled by the Summer Aviation Group. You can rest assured, Principal Ding," said Manager Wang.

"That’s really great," said Ding Yue.

Initially, Ding Yue wondered how he would transport this aircraft with engine problems from Yancheng to Mist City after winning the bid.

After all, it would certainly be placed at his Mist City Arts and Science University.

It turned out that Summer Aviation Group had already considered this matter. They would take responsibility for the entire transport and technical services, and the large aircraft would be disassembled and delivered to Mist City Arts and Science University.

After all, the destiny of the aircraft was to be used for teaching at aerospace colleges; it would never take off in its lifetime, so disassembling and reassembling it wouldn’t be an issue.

"Xiao Wen, hurry and go make the payment," Ding Yue instructed his secretary Wen Ruohan after glancing at Manager Wang’s expression and quickly thinking of this.

After all, he had already won the bid.

And once the payment was made, the domestic C919 large aircraft would indeed belong to them.

"Certainly, Principal Ding," Wen Ruohan promptly nodded in response.

"Miss, this way, please..." Immediately one of the staff members from Summer Aviation Group led Wen Ruohan to make the payment.

After Mist City Arts and Science University made the payment,

Summer Aviation Group began preparing the next steps.

As for Ding Yue, he didn’t stay in Yancheng for long. The very next day, he bought a flight ticket back to Mist City and returned to his Mist City Arts and Science University...
