At this moment, Ding Yue unexpectedly unveiled his secret weapon to "lure" Professor Luo Xiang.
Yes, you heard right.
Professor Luo Xiang was surely fond of the law robot Big White, and thus Ding Yue said he could certainly gift one to him.
To Mist City Arts and Science University, which held the core technology of Big White, rebuilding another legal robot would come down to material and manufacturing costs—tens of thousands of dollars at most. This was not a big deal for Ding Yue.
it is the core and patented technologies that truly matter.
Because the merchandise you invent cannot be replicated by others using your technology. Otherwise, original creators would be effortlessly terminated by copycats. This is when Patent Law plays a hugely significant role.
Replicate my robot Big White, and you risk bankruptcy from a lawsuit!
There would always be companies choosing to take the risk.
For instance, over the past couple of months, two domestic companies were secretly conspiring to clone a robot similar to Big White.
Though Ding Yue was yet to be aware of it.
"Give...giving me a legal robot Big White?" Professor Luo Xiang almost thought he had heard wrong.
His eyes filled with surprise.
Ding Yue smiled in relaxed amusement and nodded, "Yes, Professor Luo Xiang, we would love to give you a legal robot Big White if you like it."
"Isn’t that...a bit inappropriate?" Professor Luo Xiang asked hesitantly.
How could anyone feel at ease about accepting such a coveted robot like Big White?
"Not at all. We’ve already started collaborating, so there will certainly be more opportunities for cooperation in the future," Ding Yue said with a smile. "For example, once our University’s law school is up and running, we hope Professor Luo can extend your support."
Ding Yue slowly moved the conversation towards the main subject.
Talk of this nature was different from formal business negotiations—where both parties are expected to collaborate from the start.
At such times, one could cut straight to the chase.
However, just because Ding Yue wanted to have this conversation with Professor Luo Xiang, did not necessarily mean that Luo had any interest in obtaining a position at Mist City Arts and Science University.
At such an instance, tactful approaches were needed. With a gradual approach leading to the main topic.
"The road to public law education in our country is a long one. That’s why we need more law students, to establish and enhance a better judiciary. Does your university plan to focus on the development of its law school, Principal Ding?"
Professor Luo Xiang asked wisely.
When it came to discussing laws and legal systems, Professor Luo Xiang adopted a serious demeanor.
This was his life’s ambition.
He has trained many excellent law students and has made significant contributions to the spread of legal education in Xia Country.
"Absolutely, our law students are dedicated and diligent, and the Comprehensive Legal Solutions chip for our legal robot ’Big White’ was collated by them through their hard work. How could I not care for such diligent and lovely students?"
Ding Yue responded earnestly.
"Principal Ding, are you implying..."
After listening to Principal Ding’s remarks, Professor Luo seemed to have understood his intentions.
Being experts, they understood the nuances in each other’s words.
"If Professor Luo could take an honorary position at our university and teach a class, it would indeed be a significant reward for our students,"
Seeing the timing was right, Ding Yue aimed directly at the topic and sincerely invited Professor Luo Xiang to work at his university.
How much he would teach was not really important, since Ding Yue didn’t invite him solely for teaching purposes.
After all, Professor Luo Xiang was already a professor at Xia Country Political and Law University and would rarely have time to teach law students at Mist City Arts and Science University.
But holding an honorary professorship was no problem, right?
The students at Mist City Arts and Science University would certainly find it inspiring.
"Principal Ding, as you know, my main work is at Xia Country Political and Law University. I have been invited to visit other universities occasionally, but not very often," Professor Luo Xiang helplessly shook his head.
"That’s not a problem. Whenever Professor Luo has some free time, just come and give our students a lecture. They would consider themselves fortunate,"
Ding Yue assured, dismissing the concern.
Upon hearing this, Professor Luo furrowed his brows, "Really?"
"Honestly, Principal Ding, I am genuinely impressed with the law students from your university. Their ability to compile the Comprehensive Legal Solutions that power Big White is truly commendable,"
Professor Luo Xiang first showered praises on the law students from Ding Yue’s University.
Then, he stated seriously, "Well, I can’t promise to teach your students very often, but I will try to give a lecture at least once per term. How does that sound?"
Seeing Principal Ding’s genuineness in inviting him, he decided to give his sincerest support to the law school at Mist City Arts and Science University, as part of his ongoing dedication to the education of law.
