Chapter 250 Technology in Hand

"Ah, don't you know, our Western Continent Science and Technology Institute is now a subsidiary of Tian'ou Group. Not only do we have no scientific research funds, we also have to make money and give it to Tian'ou Group."

After hearing Sun Xingxue's words, Lin Lan realized that he had been misled by Blue Star's inertial thinking.

Mingming Western Continent Science and Technology Institute was a for-profit technology company that was turned into a profit-making technology company after the scientific research institution of the United States of Oran was taken over by the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce.

After Tomahawk Military went to work alone, it became equivalent to a subsidiary of Tianou Group.

As a subsidiary of a consortium, it is natural that it has to pay for the profits of the consortium.

"Then how do you make money?"

After Lin Lan cleared his mind, he looked at Sun Xingxue and asked in a serious tone.

"The main source of our profit is developing ship equipment and selling it to the Navy at ship equipment product fairs."

"Besides that, I can develop various new patents and sell them to Tianou Group, and I can get certain dividends."

"But this money is still a drop in the bucket for our research, and many researchers cannot even afford to pay their salaries, so many research talents who graduated from the academy have gone to Tomahawk Military Industry."

When Sun Xingxue said this, Tian Ming on the side had already lowered his head in shame.

When he graduated, he went to Tomahawk Military Industry because he felt that the salary at the Western Continent Scientific Research Institute was too low.

After getting Sun Xingxue's answer, Lin Lan finally understood why the Western Continent Academy of Science and Technology was located in such a remote place.

He finally understood why the conditions here were so bad.

After working on it for a long time, this institute of science and technology, which is so important to the United States of Oran, not only has no scientific research funds, but it even has to make money for the consortium?

What kind of thing is this? As a time traveler from Blue Star Donghuang, Lin Lan has never seen anyone play like this.

How can we do scientific research for the purpose of profit?

"In order to establish this scientific research institute, the teacher even sold his family property and lived here. All his savings were used to fill the lack of funds in the scientific research institute."

"Xiaotian, you are exposing my background."

Sun Xingxue glared at Tian Ming who interrupted with dissatisfaction, and said calmly:

"In order for Oran to regain the ocean, the meager efforts I have done are not worth mentioning."

"It's just a pity for the young researchers who are still working here. They gave up the opportunity to make big money in other consortiums and really devoted their youth and hard work for the future of Olan."

"I am already old, and Oran's future still belongs to you young people after all. But as long as I am still here, you don't have to worry, just focus on scientific research."

"Especially you, Xiaotian. As a leader of the younger generation of scientific researchers, I hope you will truly turn around and stop being blinded by false fame and power."

Listening to the conversation between the two people, Lin Lan looked at the elderly dean of the Academy of Science and Technology with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Even though he is not a real Oran person, as a Donghuang person from Blue Star, he has been educated on the concept of "rejuvenating the country through science and education" since he was a child.

In the past, Donghuang finally became a prosperous and powerful country due to the efforts of generations of anonymous scientific researchers who did not expect anything in return.

So Lin Lan secretly made a decision in his heart, took out his cell phone directly from his pocket, and dialed Jian Qianou's number.

"Hello? Yes, it's me."

"From today on, you must give 10%... no, 20% of the total profit for the year to the Western Continent Science and Technology Academy as scientific research funding every year."

"Yes, that's what I mean. I'm just informing you and not asking for your opinion."

After making arrangements for Jian Qianou, Lin Lan hung up the phone without waiting for Jian Qianou to say anything more.

Jian Qianou is a smart man. Lin Lan believes that this old guy can quickly think through the causes and consequences and analyze the pros and cons.

"Mr. President, who did you call just now?"

Hearing Lin Lan speak so aggressively, Sun Xingxue was frightened and asked him cautiously.

"Haha, Mr. Sun, you don't have to worry, it's just a trivial work arrangement."

Lin Lan just smiled faintly, and then said:

"By the way, your scientific research record database will take me to copy a copy of the data. This should be what I can do in this position, right?"

"That's natural. All the results in the record library belong to Tianou Group. Of course, the president has the right to make copies and take them away. Please come here."

Sun Xingxue was guessing who the person on the other end of Lin Lan's call just now was, but he couldn't figure out who it was.

So he simply stopped guessing, took Lin Lan and the group back to the elevator, and went directly to the sixth floor.

This floor is the highest place among the buildings of the Science and Technology Institute.

Compared with the high-rise buildings in Yunhai City, which often have more than 20 floors, this place looks extremely shabby.

Looking at the empty corridors and locked offices, it is obvious that this floor is the office area of ​​the Science and Technology Institute.

"Ming, you and Mr. Sun go and copy the scientific research record database. You know what we need."

After stepping out of the elevator, Lin Lan said to the little profiteer Akashi.

He is actually not interested in other scientific research results of the United States of Orange. What he needs most is oil exploration and extraction technology.

No matter how much oil he obtains from Tianou Group, it would be better for him to directly use the power of the port area to mine it himself.

What's more, if you go to the Natlan Empire or the Teaching Country in the future, those countries have no habit of using oil.

It would be too troublesome to just transport it by sea from Oran. It would be better to build an oil field wherever he goes.

This will also ensure that he and the ship girls will not fall into the dilemma of insufficient oil.

"Leave it to me, meow~"

The little profiteer had already prepared a mobile hard disk for storing data. After receiving Lin Lan's order, he walked into the office in the corridor with Sun Xingxue and Tian Ming.

Through the window of the corridor, Lin Lan looked at the sky outside.

The heavy gray clouds completely occupied the sky, and the entire Yunhai City seemed very dim.

The cold wind slapped on the floor, making a whistling sound through the window gap, which made people feel a little depressed.

"Commander, why did you let the people of Tianou Group invest research funds in this science and technology institute just now?"

Seeing Lin Lan looking at the distant view outside the window without saying a word, and with a serious expression, Hu Teng walked to Lin Lan and asked him softly.

"Hu Teng, have you discovered that the Siren gave the Orlan United States the pseudo-mind cube, and must have known that Orlan would study cube technology and cube energy."

"In order to see what the Siren is doing, letting Orlan speed up this progress may reveal the Siren's feet faster."

Hearing Lin Lan's analysis, Hu Teng nodded, and Egil on the side also looked at Lin Lan with approval.

As expected of everyone's commander, he actually considered so many things, and it seems that he is not just fishing in the port area.

"And in this case, maybe in the future, we can add more new partners to the Broken Sky, right?"

Lin Lan smiled and looked at the Broken Sky, who had been silent, and the girl on the machine smiled and nodded, although she didn't understand what Lin Lan was referring to.

Whatever the commander said was right.

Soon, Akashi came back with Sun Xingxue and Tian Ming. The cute little profiteer smiled at him and made an OK gesture.

Since everything he should take has been obtained, it's time to leave.

It was just past four in the afternoon, and we could still catch the dinner that Ron had made.

So while Lin Lan and Sun Xingxue were enthusiastically discussing topics about the development of science and technology, the group also arrived at the gate of the Institute of Science and Technology.

Of course, Lin Lan did not forget to tell Sun Xingxue that the rules of the Ship Equipment Products Fair the day after tomorrow morning would be changed, and he would be fully responsible for the scene at that time.

Sun Xingxue would naturally not refuse Lin Lan's request and readily agreed.

He had seen from Lin Lan's attitude when talking to him and the topics discussed that the young Tianou President attached great importance to scientific research.

Although the profits of the Ship Equipment Products Fair are already astronomical figures in the eyes of ordinary people, the position of Tianou President must be looked down upon.

After exchanging mobile phone numbers with Sun Xingxue and asking him to contact him if he had any difficulties or needs, Lin Lan and others said goodbye to the two and got in the car to leave the Western Continental Institute of Science and Technology.
