Chapter 299: Jinling Advanced Institute

The state's support for scientific research is indeed unambiguous.
Whether it was really not to delay Lu Zhou's time, or to let the leaders see that they were working hard, the day after the meeting with Lu Lao was over, Lu Zhou received a call from Secretary Liu.
It ’s also very interesting. The number of times Lu Zhou has met with the secretary Liu can be counted with one hand, but each time he meets, the secretary Liu can easily create the illusion that they are familiar .
After a few words of courtesy, Secretary Liu made an appointment with him on the phone.
On the afternoon of the same day, Lu Zhou met Secretary Zhao Zhengye, a man with glasses who looked very gentle.
"Hello, Professor Lu, I'm Zhao Zhengye, Secretary of Secretary Liu, you can call me Xiao Zhao." Shake hands with Lu Zhou, Secretary Zhao is polite.
When he let go of his hand, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You're older than me. How can I call your little Zhao? It's Secretary Zhao."
"Then just as you said," Secretary Zhao gestured with a smile, "please here."
He drove Luzhou to the side of the high-tech development park.
After finding a place to stop the car, Secretary Zhao took out a circled map, pointed to the marked area, and said to Lu Zhou.
"Here is a conceptual map of the Xianlin University City High-tech Development Zone. The first phase of the project has been completed, and the second phase of the project will be completed within one year. Because the policy has just come out, only 13 research units in the entire development zone have completed occupancy. Overall there is still a lot of free space. "
"There are several good office buildings not far from the subway station, and they are still idle. If you see something, you can tell me."
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "The nanomaterials experiments I do have high requirements for accuracy. The construction standards of ordinary office buildings are difficult to meet the experimental requirements. I hope you can help me find an open space. I will contact the engineering side for this. construction."
After listening to Lu Zhou's words, Secretary Zhao nodded: "No problem, there are many plots of land that have not yet been sold. Where can you tell me, I will reflect it to the secretary for you."
After holding the map and researching for a while, Lu Zhou finally selected a plot of land that looks good on the map, covering an area of ​​10.1 acres, as the site for the research and development center.
But it turns out that his instincts are quite accurate.
Secretary Zhao drove him to the scene to take a lap. Whether it was nearby traffic or the environment, it was quite good, and it was a good place for research.
As for the specific construction plan, he will entrust White, the manager of Xingkong Technology, to conduct project bidding and hire experts to evaluate the engineering standards. These troublesome things do not need to worry about Lu Zhou.
On the other hand, according to the state's subsidy policy, landboats on land have enjoyed a large degree of concessions.
On the university town side, housing prices in the vicinity are generally more than 30,000 yuan, and developers often get more than seven million yuan per mu.
According to Lu Lao's promise, if Lu Zhou only needs to ensure an investment amount of 200 million RMB, the country will subsidize 30% of the investment. If the investment exceeds 400 million RMB, the subsidy will double. Lu Zhou's original plan was to invest 100 million US dollars. Naturally, the subsidy was based on the largest standard.
The municipal bureau's price for Lu Zhou itself is the floor price of 5 million acres. In addition to the state subsidies, he actually only needs about 2 million yuan per acre.
In this way, he can invest more money in equipment and experimental budget.
After the site selection of the institute came to an end,
Lu Zhou called White, and the rest of the matter will be contacted by Jinxing City Government and the construction party by Xingkong Technology. It is not necessary for him to worry about these trivial matters.
As for the period before the institute was built, Lu Zhou had to borrow the venue of Jinda first. Fortunately, in the new campus, there are many experimental buildings that have just been built but have not moved in. Jin Da is also willing to help him.
For this matter, Dean Li of the Chemical Academy even took the landing boat personally to select the experimental site on Jinda's campus.
The two were chatting while walking on campus.
Dean Li asked with a smile: "It's said that Princeton has gathered the world's brightest minds. Professor Lu has been working in Princeton for almost a year. How do you feel about the news there?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said, "My biggest feeling is a pity."
Dean Li unexpectedly said, "Oh? What a pity?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Just speaking my personal feelings, in the undergraduate education, the minds of the freshmen of Princeton University are not much better than the geniuses who have just passed the college entrance examination and are more than one hundred points higher. . At least in high school education, we are not behind, and we can even say that we have our own advantages. "
After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.
"However, from the undergraduate stage, the gap between the two will continue to widen. And it is not limited to the enlargement at the individual level, but the whole. By the master's stage, it is difficult to be comparable."
Dean Li reluctantly said: "Professor Lu, this comparison is too unfair. Undergraduate education in Princeton is a world-class level, not to mention us, even Harvard and MIT, in undergraduate education. It's hard to compare with it. "
Lu Zhou smiled: "Yeah, so I just feel bad."
After a pause, he ended this slightly heavy topic and continued.
"In fact, I have always had an idea, following the model of Princeton, to build an advanced institute next to Jinling University."
Dean Li hesitated, "This is a good idea, but it may not be easy to achieve."
Lu Zhou nodded: "You're right."
It is not that simple to replicate the success of the Princeton Advanced Institute.
If you just build a building next to you, hire some researchers to do research, and then hang a teaching position next to Jin Da, it is likely to be just a formal imitation.
The final outcome of such a higher research institute is, at best, the development of Jinda's postdoctoral site, or the second graduate school. It does not make any sense, but it will waste a lot of resources.
Dean Li: "Pulco started from the original intention of establishment, is a Platonic research institution. To be honest, this ideal research institution ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is difficult to survive in China. And even if it survives When it comes down, it will be difficult to make results. "
"Try it slowly, maybe because I am younger, I am still optimistic about my abilities," Lu Zhou smiled, and continued in a joking tone. "Otherwise, this academy has not yet opened, simply Call it Jinling Institute of Computational Materials. "
Academician Li Haha laughed and said, "Yes, you don't mind letting us touch this light, we naturally welcome with both hands! Let's Jin Da just happened to be researching and opening a department of computing materials, or should you be a part-time director? I choose How many top students are born to train you? "
Lu Zhou also said with a smile: "The head of the department is not necessary anymore. I'm afraid that one person who hasn't resisted, has all the talents in your chemical institute to go to math."
"That won't work, I won't do it at a loss!"
Both were bragging in a joke tone, and no one took these words seriously.
However, although the previous words were said in a joke, after hearing the proposal of Dean Li, Lu Zhou couldn't help thinking about this issue.
The battlefield is the best training ground. This time the country ’s major action in the field of new energy is not only a conference battle to overcome photovoltaic materials, lithium-sulfur batteries and other technologies, but also an opportunity to cultivate research talents.
He does not necessarily have to completely replicate the model of the Princeton Institute of Higher Education, and can completely figure out a model suitable for the domestic academic environment.
If this model turns out to be feasible, he will try to generalize it to areas such as mathematics and physics.
Whether it succeeds or not, this is a meaningful thing.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou said in a half-joking tone, "I'll have to ask something,"
Dean Li said generously, "What do you want, say it!"
Lu Zhou said only one word.
"people!"
