Interstellar Rebirth: Raising Meow [System] - Chapter 140

The Royal Academy has internal evaluations every quarter. On the one hand, it summarizes the work of the six months, and on the other hand, it also discusses the allocation of funds for the new quarter.

As the leader of the independent team, Allen, together with colleagues in the team, Victor and Stanford, participated in the first-half summary meeting of the Institute of Medicine and Plant Research.

Those who have just entered the institute themselves have nothing to summarize, so participating in the meeting is mainly to familiarize themselves with the institute’s work process.

Of course, we must also see the fierce pomp of “grabbing” between departments!

That’s right, the general meeting of each quarter is when the heads of various departments show their housekeeping skills. Everyone seems to be in harmony on the surface, but things related to interests will still be compared.

Another student of the director Baron Hayes presided over the meeting. Mr. Hubert called the other junior and “contacted” the feelings beforehand. Mr. Hubert seemed to be ready.

The person in charge of the team that Allen had been acquainted with told Allen secretly that each year their department received more funds.

Part of it is because Mr. Hubert is a student of the director, Baron Haysitz, and has a friendship between teachers and students; and part of it is because Mr. Hubert has always been a long-sleeved dancer and is not a person who immerses himself in research and ignores things outside the window…

Before Alan started his own project, he didn’t know that serious research would cost such a huge amount!

Whether it’s raw materials, equipment, or manpower, everything costs money, and it can’t be saved—because cheap things are generally compromised in effect.

It is no wonder that the research institute has received support from many sources, theoretically sufficient funds, and there are still struggles in private-more than research, more money!

At the meeting in the institute, Allen’s department is naturally united and collectively external, but it can also be imagined that once the door is closed to discuss the internal problems of the department, everyone’s previous “intimacy” will inevitably disappear.

Even the person in charge who has a good relationship with Allen is also on the sidelines today, guessing the amount of the application submitted by Allen.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――Return to Serentu Palace, Prince Salvin happened to be free, so he came over Have dinner with them.

Chu Chu and Zai Zai were sitting in their own high chairs, holding their small spoons in their hands, waiting for the home service robot to deliver their dinner.

The two little guys, a four-year-old and a three-year-old, have already started to eat normal foods, only occasionally adding supplementary foods or special nutrients.

Poke the rice in the bowl with a spoon, Zai Zai looked up and glanced at Prince Salvin and His Royal Highness Kyle, then turned his gaze to Alan.

The two of them looked at each other with eloquence, and Allen immediately guessed what the little guy was thinking-Zai Zai wanted Allen to feed him, but he was afraid that his father and brother would feel squeamish, so he didn’t dare to speak.

In fact, if you are really squeamish, just ignore it. How can you still act on the face of an adult?

Prince Salvin also noticed the little movements of the cubs. He didn’t say anything but said to Alan: “Alan, come to my study after dinner, and I have something to tell you.”

Zai Zai thought that his father had “grabbed” Allen, so he was so scared that he hurriedly inserted the small spoon into the bowl, dug a large pile of rice, and immediately stuffed it into his mouth, agitating his cheeks while sneaking at Prince Salvin.

——Zizai have a meal! Don’t catch Alan, the cub!

Probably because he was eating in a hurry, he choked a little. Allen patted him on the back gently: “Eat slowly and don’t panic.” After speaking, he brought the soup in the bowl next to Vincent and motioned him to drink. Little bit, smoothly.

Haiqiu’s appetite and appetite have always been good. At this time, he took a spoon, scooped a little rice, served with a little vegetable, and knew how to match meat and vegetables. In general, he ate one spoonful of spoonfuls in an orderly manner and with a tight rhythm.

Seeing that his brother was choking, it hurriedly put its own little spoon on the plate, and stretched out a chubby hand to caress Vincent’s back like Alan.

While touching it, he whispered: “Eat slowly and don’t panic.”

The little guy’s tone and intonation are imitating Alan, and they imitate them so vividly-it’s just that the little milky voice that can’t hide, repeats this serious remark very cutely.

The adults here were amused, but they didn’t want to discourage the enthusiasm of the baby panda, so they didn’t show it.

Allen has just started working in the institute and has not eaten dinner in Serentu for a few days in a row. Allen knew that it was the cub who missed him, should he be fed or the second, mostly just acting like a baby, and wanted to get close to him more.

After drinking some soup for the little guy, Allen picked up Zai Zai’s bowl and spoon, and fed the rest of the bowl to the little guy to eat.

Zai Zai happily put her little hand on the handle of the chair, raised her little head slightly, and waited for Alan to feed.

Prince Salvin watched the interaction between the “daughter-in-law” and the younger son. He didn’t know what he thought of, and the corners of his mouth cocked slightly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――Prince Salvin’s study is actually not commonly used because his office is in The station of the Imperial Legion or directly in the study of Emperor Bakewell.

There are a few very important things to call Allen solemnly into his study this time, to discuss with Allen.

“Sit down,” Prince Salvin motioned to Alan to sit on the sofa, and he walked over and sat down together: “I have two things, I want to tell you, and ask your own opinions, I’m fine. Reply to others.”

Alan looked at Prince Salvin with some doubts—he didn’t guess what the other party was going to say next, so he could only **** up his ears and listen to him carefully.

“First of all, I have to ask you about the research funding,” Prince Salvin asked straightforwardly: “Do you have any ideas, or do you have any plans?”

Allen thought for a while and replied: “I attended the meeting in the institute before, and now it’s the turn of the department to self-evaluate. We have just joined the institute. Apart from the topics we did when we graduated, we had no other achievements, so…”

Alan was afraid that Prince Salvin would be worried about this, so he immediately added: “However, our research is still in the early stage, and there is not much to spend money. We will gradually deepen it in the next quarter. We will be able to participate in fairness. Was selected.”

But the prerequisite is that the funding they get now is enough to see the research results or the evaluation meeting next quarter.

In fact, Allen knows very well that compared to other teams, their team has fewer people, joined late, and has no idea about the prospects for new topics. Even if they want to go back, they may not be able to compete.

“I have already asked Veranika,” Prince Salvin patted him on the shoulder and said: “To do research, the most important thing is investment. Both labor and capital investment are required. You are now New topics must be paid more attention to-after crossing the first hurdle, the wind will go smoothly…

Seeing Alan’s face incomprehensible, Prince Salvin smiled and said: “In addition to the allocation of your research funds, what other ways can you get?”

——In addition to the distribution, what other ways are available? That is nothing more than going out to sponsor!

The Institute has no restrictions on the commercial sponsorship that each team can find.

It is possible for some teams with good benefits to receive sponsorship from several large groups one after the other or even at the same time. In principle, the research results obtained can be technical products, and the right to use them for a certain period of time can be sold to these companies to achieve a win-win situation.

However, this kind of sponsorship does not mean that you can find it.

A new team like Allen and the others is generally difficult to persuade others to invest. Even if the other party regards Allen as the prince and wants to maintain a good relationship with the royal family, this kind of cooperation is not close.

Seeing Prince Salvin chatting about this matter, Ellen, who knows the “mother-in-law” very well, guessed whether Prince Salvin had helped their team find the “golden master”, or someone had already passed Prince Salvin. , Intends to get in touch with Allen and the others.

Sure enough, Prince Salvin spoke: “Duke Tang is discussing with me recently, because you are almost 20 years old, and you have been on your own for a long time. He wants to pay you dividends from the family belonging to your mother, Mrs. Cynthia.”

“Family dividends?” Allen had vaguely heard his grandfather talk about this before, but at that time he was participating in the Seven Schools United Tournament, and he didn’t have the energy to care about it, and then he completely forgot about it.

“All of your mother’s shares will be transferred to your name,” Prince Salvin said: “At present, a large sum of funds has been accumulated. You can set up a foundation and ask someone to take care of it and operate it, so that you can also invest. Your own research topics will be considered as making money for yourself by then.”

Prince Salvin’s meaning Allen understood immediately.

If the money was used directly for research, it would be equivalent to Alan’s own money for research.

But if it is operated through a fund, as an external “sponsor”, after Allen and his team’s research results produce benefits, they can exchange for corresponding profits according to the amount of capital invested at the beginning.

In this way, with a certain amount of “sponsorship”, Allen only needs to fight for the part of the research funding they deserve in the department, and then he can continue his own project.

Under the condition of ensuring sufficient funds, competition with other teams in the department becomes less, which naturally helps them integrate into the collective.

Waiting half a year or a year, their research results can be put into production and have an effect. At that time, if they compete fairly with other teams, it will be justified and there will be much less gossip in the department.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――I didn’t expect this matter to be solved in such a good way. Allen is very Happy.

He couldn’t describe his feelings for a while. He could only express his gratitude to the Duke Tang and Prince Salvin, and vowed to make achievements, not to shame them, nor to shame himself.

“You just said that there is a second thing, I don’t know what it is?”

“The second thing is about whether you want to participate in the seventh-level pharmacist certification this year.”
