Chapter 966: Chapter 821: World’s Strongest Health Insurance
Dean Xia’s office.
Director Ma from Nandu Medical University International Exchange Office personally visited Dean Xia with Mr. Logan, the representative of the American Ke’s Foundation, because the famous Keshi Fund had contacted the International Exchange Office several times. They expressed great interest in Professor Yang Ping’s research project and were willing to provide funding for his research to contribute to the cause of human medicine.
Moreover, the amount of funding offered was one hundred million US dollars, and this was just the beginning.
Nandu Medical University had never before received such a substantial research fund, so it attached great importance to it.
"This is Mr. Logan from the American Ke’s Foundation!"
Director Ma introduced.
Mr. Logan shook hands with Dean Xia. After a polite handshake, Director Ma handed over a set of application documents.
Principal Ruo had called to inform them, and Director Ma had personally brought someone over. So the procedure definitely had no issues, and this fund was probably not problematic either.
However, Dean Xia was not very interested in money now. He would have been very pleased in the past, but since Professor Yang’s research fund had stable support, he no longer worried about this matter.
Moreover, Professor Yang is now a national strategic talent, and even the security level reached the Hongqi bulletproof car standard. Would there still be a lack of funds?
What was called being wealthy and forceful? This is being wealthy and forceful!
"This foundation is very famous. It is a charity foundation of the American Ke’s Consortium. The primary purpose of the foundation is to promote the advancement of global biology and medical technology. Its funding comes with no strings attached, completely free of charge, without any additional conditions, and supports targets all over the world," Director Ma explained.
Director Ma specialized in international exchange and cooperation and was very familiar with these matters.
"Indeed, a charity organization. It starts with one hundred million US dollars, purely for the welfare of people worldwide. I express my high respect for such a spirit, but we do not lack money now. It’s better to leave the money for those who need it most," said Dean Xia, waving his hand as a sign of refusal.
Certainly, money wasn’t needed now. Dean Xia was very clear-headed. It was not necessary nor appropriate to accept these kinds of so-called funds. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and Dean Xia understood this.
"They do not fund just anyone. They choose suitable people. The funding targets go through a rigorous assessment and are classified by levels. Recently, Professor Yang published thirteen papers in CNS, which caused a sensation internationally. Therefore, they turned their attention to him and initiated the offer to fund Professor Yang. They are solely motivated by charitable purposes and have no interest in any intellectual property rights of the research project," Director Ma insisted, somewhat desperately, as such a huge amount of money was being dismissed by Xia Changjiang.
"We don’t need this amount of money now. Why would I need their money when I have my own?" Dean Xia remarked in plain terms.
Mr. Logan, who was proficient in Chinese, pretended not to understand and appeared quite puzzled as he looked at Director Ma.
Director Ma translated for him, and he shrugged, "We greatly admire Professor Yang, which is why we are willing to fund him unconditionally. Not only him, but we also pay attention to biomedical scientists worldwide. For those scientists with sufficient research capabilities, we provide financial assistance. We are a charitable organization. Please do not misunderstand; our funding comes with no demands, and the one hundred million US dollars is just the beginning."
Dean Xia did not want to offend Director Ma, as he meant well, but Dean Xia did not believe that Logan and the fund would unconditionally provide one hundred million.
Accepting money weakens one’s hands, accepting food weakens one’s mouth; it’s the simplest principle.
"Make sure Mr. Logan doesn’t misunderstand either. We understand that it is an act of charity, and we highly respect this kind of profound benevolence. However, we don’t need this small amount of money now. A hundred million won’t do much for us, but it could do much for others, so let others have it," Dean Xia instructed.
Director Ma’s eyes bulged in disbelief. Since when did Xia Changjiang become so wealthy and generous? He had heard that in the past, to obtain funding from higher authorities, Xia often went to the Provincial Hall to impudently block leaders.
"Translate that, stop dawdling," Dean Xia urged.
Director Ma had no choice but to translate as he was told. This time, it was Mr. Logan who looked astonished, "One hundred million US dollars is a small amount? It doesn’t do much? Then how much is enough? One billion?"
It seemed that this foreigner would not give up until he reached the Yangtze River. Dean Xia became a bit impatient, so he shook his head, indicating that even one billion was a small amount.
"Ten billion?"
Dean Xia still shook his head.
Good grief, Director Ma didn’t even want to continue translating. Had Xia Changjiang gone mad, shaking his head at so much money?
"One hundred billion?"
Mr. Logan was very curious, persistent in getting a figure.
Dean Xia didn’t care what he said; he just shook his head, not wishing to offend Principal Ruo by not receiving them, but now he was just nodding to speed the guests on their way.
Mr. Logan dared not ask any further, merely saying, "Is that really the only reason?"
"Yes, small money won’t solve our problems; it’s a waste, so better give it to someone else," Dean Xia said as he sipped his tea.
Director Ma was furious internally, thinking think Xia Changjiang was playing with them.
Dean Xia offered no explanation, as the foundation was indeed all about immense love, and he had to find a reason that matched it to refuse.
