Chapter 85 Award Application

  After handling the business of 'Green Source Gardening' and 'Yonghe Building', Duan Lei's next important thing is to find a school to declare the 'Haicheng Science and Technology Progress Award'.

  Duan Lei didn't want to rush into applying for the more prestigious National Science and Technology Progress Award, only because he had to first obtain a provincial second prize before being eligible to apply for the national award in the next year. Duan Lei could only patiently find Zhang Jiu and Zheng Kai Zhong to ask about the application procedure and details, hoping to succeed at once.

  As a top domestic university, Hainan University has professors and graduate students conducting research on industrialization using various new technologies every year. They also use the university's affiliated enterprises or high-tech industrial parks for actual production and practice. Therefore, there are numerous projects, technologies, and products that meet the application requirements for various awards every year. To stand out from hundreds of applications and become a recommended project by Hainan University, Duan Lei needs to make more efforts.

  The deadline for the Haicheng Science and Technology Progress Award is in April, so Duan Lei must submit the list to the school before then, and only then will he have a chance to enter the evaluation stage. Now that it's already late March, time is quite pressing, making Duan Lei anxious.

  At this time, Duan Yue only discovered that after really starting a business, the various things that come one after another are most able to test a person's adaptability and coordination ability. No wonder people all say that society is a big melting pot.

  After understanding Duan Lei's intention, Zhang Jiu suddenly thought that if Duan Lei's research results are true, 'Zhi Wu Cong' is not only eligible for the Science and Technology Progress Award of Haicheng, but also has a surplus to apply for national-level awards.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Jiu naturally strongly supported it, and brought Duan Yue and a large stack of experimental data to find Zheng Kaizhong, the dean of the Agricultural College.

  "Xiao Zhang, are these experimental materials genuine and reliable?" Zheng Kai Zhong was somewhat moved by the data brought by Da Shan, but still had some concerns.

  It is known that in recent years, some universities and research institutions have been involved in academic scandals for the sake of fame or personal gain. Zheng Kai Zhong does not want such incidents to happen under his watch, as it would also affect his own political prospects. Having grown accustomed to being the dean of the agricultural college, Zheng Kai Zhong can no longer return to his humble teaching days and has gradually become an administrative official rather than a scholar.

  "True or false, I can't tell either, isn't this what you're supposed to be in charge of?" Zhang Jiu smiled wryly and gave Zheng Kai a small pat on the back, saying: "Why don't we organize a task force to test the real effect of 'Zhì Wū Lán'? With you, Dean, in charge!"

  Zhang Jiu understood Zheng Kai's concerns, but if this matter was not resolved with Zheng Kai, any work would be in vain. Therefore, Zhang Jiu proposed that the hospital organize a small project to verify the real effect of 'Zheng Kaizhong'.

  Duan Yue is a student in his class. If Duan Yue's research can really be recognized by the institute and be recommended to participate in the evaluation of the Science Progress Award in the city, it will be a great credit for Zhang Jiu. The year-end bonuses, title evaluations, housing allocations, etc. will all wave towards their own happiness, so Zhang Jiu naturally looks forward to it very much.

  "Xiao Zhang's suggestion is good, we shouldn't delay, let's take action immediately!" Zheng Kai Zhong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

  Since becoming the dean of the Agricultural College, Zheng Kai has been overwhelmed by administrative tasks and no longer has time to supervise graduate students or conduct his own research. In recent years, the college has achieved many research results, but those projects were all led by professors from the college, and it would be embarrassing for Zheng Kai to participate in them now. Now that this "pollution-reducing" project is just a student's research result, if he participates in it now, he can at least get his name on it as a supervisor.

  From the information I've seen so far, 'Zhi Wu Cong' is a project with extremely high development potential in the field of environmental protection. If things go well, this year's Hai Da Nong Academy may launch a huge satellite! Once the test results are real, Zheng Kai Zhong will naturally come forward to cheer for 'Zhi Wu Cong' and secure the greatest benefits for himself.

  It's no surprise that Zheng Kai Zhong and Zhang Jiu have such ideas, after all, this world is bustling with people seeking benefits.

  With Zheng Kai's agreement, the next thing was easy to handle. A piece of land was allocated in the experimental base of the Agricultural College, and after setting up the growth environment of 'Zhiwu', Zhang Jiu led a verification group to conduct detailed observations and evaluations on the transplanted 'Zhiwu'. All data and observation results would be submitted together with Duan Lei's experimental data to the review institution of the Agricultural College or even Haida, and only then could it be decided whether to recommend it to the city for this year's Science and Technology Progress Award.

  With Zheng Kai's support, Duan Yu finally put his hanging heart at ease!

  However, Duan Yue needs to put more time and energy into the experimental base and company operations, so the person in charge of the connection between the school and 'Makabio' has to be someone else.

  "Boss, that's the situation. I don't have enough time, so you'll just have to make do and be the liaison!" After explaining everything from start to finish to Dashan, Duan Lei made his request.

  "This is no problem, anyway this semester's courses are very few, the basketball team also doesn't have any matches, I have plenty of time!" Upon hearing this, Da Shan naturally agreed without hesitation.

  After spending three years in the Ocean University Agricultural College, Dashan always felt that he hadn't accomplished anything and was somewhat regretful. Now, Duan Lei has handed over the task of applying for the 'Hai Cheng Science and Technology Progress Award' with 'Zhi Wu Lan', which has given Dashan something to do, otherwise his university life would seem too empty.

  "Look around the dormitory and see who has time to join us, we need more people for the liaison group. Time is a bit tight, let's take action immediately!" Seeing Dashan willing to lead, Duan Lei was naturally very happy.

  It's not easy to find someone who is familiar with the school and has the ability to help out.

  No matter when, doing big things always requires 'heavenly timing, geographical advantage and harmony among people'. It's not easy for one person to achieve something alone.

  At this time, Dashan finally understood why Duan Lei's company was established without asking his roommates to do any part-time jobs. It turned out that he was waiting for them here. Since Duan Lei started a company, his roommates would naturally be involved in it as well. If they could participate in it, that would be even better.

  Soon, Da Shan pulled Yang Xiaoqiang and Du Wenwu, who didn't want to take the postgraduate entrance exam, into the liaison group, and began to prepare for the final declaration with Zhang Jiu's topic group.

  …………

  However, the selection of the 'Science and Technology Progress Award' is not something that can be completed in just ten days or half a month. If you want to give 'Zhi Wu Gan' more aura and have a positive impact on market development, it's still too early. Duane estimates that in order for 'Zhi Wu Gan' to sweep the country completely, it will take more than a year, can't be too impatient.

  Duanyan now needs to deal with the influx of customers from all over the country, build a business network covering the south of the Yellow River, and gradually promote 'Zhiwu'an'.
