Ding Yue suddenly raised his hand, interrupting Bin: "I seem to have heard the name of a familiar company."
"Yue, are you talking about the Fruit Phone company?"
For Xu Bin and Huang Youjie, the company mentioned by Xu Bin just now seemed to be the best-known as Fruit Phone.
After all, Fruit Phones are quite popular among consumers worldwide.
"No, it’s not the Fruit Phone company!"
Ding Yue shook his head with a very serious expression, "It’s Ike Technology Group."
"Ike Technology Group? What company is that?"
Huang Youjie indicated he hadn’t heard of this so-called Ike Technology Group.
"You might not know about Ike Technology Group, but I do."
Ding Yue laughed coldly, "When our Mist City Arts and Science University was researching graphene mechanical exfoliation technology, I became acquainted with some foreign tech companies that were powerhouses in this field, and Ike Technology Group was one of them. Their main business includes battery technology—for Fruit Phones and Tesla’s new energy electric vehicles—the Ike Technology Group is behind them."
After listening to Yue’s explanation, Huang Youjie seemed to understand something.
Xu Bin didn’t need to say much, as he was quick to respond: "So, Yue, you’re saying that the exchange program for visiting scholars is definitely a plot by Ike Technology Group?"
All clues gathered together made everything clear.
Ding Yue was no fool.
Now he could be 99 percent sure that Smith’s visit to Mist City Arts and Science University to arrange for exchange students was very likely motivated by Ike Technology Group.
The majority of these exchange students they sent specialized in mechanical engineering, computer science, and materials science.
All these fields are related to graphene technology!
With this in mind, their intentions became quite obvious.
"Could it be that Ike Technology Group cannot overcome the shackles of graphene technology and wants to find a breakthrough at Mist City Arts and Science University?"
Ding Yue analyzed, "But isn’t this tactic a bit too despicable?"
"What? This kind of thing is happening?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Youjie felt as if this was like a commercial tech spy thriller.
If it was really the Ike Technology Group behind these American students, were these students actually from Ike Technology Group, sent to Mist City Arts and Science University as exchange students, with the goal of obtaining the university’s graphene technology?
It sounded quite thrilling.
But thinking of the despicable tricks of the American tech company made Huang Youjie very angry and upset.
"What I just mentioned is only a guess, after all, we don’t have any solid evidence right now,"
said Ding Yue, shrugging slightly.
"So, Yue, did you agree to accept those exchange students at Mist City Arts and Science University?"
Xu Bin asked curiously.
"Heh, how could I possibly agree."
Ding Yue couldn’t help but sneer: "Mist City Arts and Science University is our own university for the people of Xia Country!"
Xu Bin and Huang Youjie both wholeheartedly supported Ding Yue.
Mist City Arts and Science University had been set up for those students from Xia Country who did not pass the College Entrance Examination but still dreamed of attending a university.
But it wouldn’t be so easy for foreigners to come.
The reason why Ding Yue disagreed with having foreigners at his own Mist City Arts and Science University was different from what Xu Bin and Huang Youjie thought.
The main reason was that Ding Yue didn’t want to train excellent talents for foreign countries.
Anyone who joined Mist City Arts and Science University as a student could enjoy the learning buff provided by the school.
If the foreign exchange students were all excellent students from top American universities, wouldn’t they be enjoying the learning buff at Mist City Arts and Science University for free?
If these American students all turned out to be exceptional talents, that would be unfavorable for Xia Country.
The students from Mist City Arts and Science University who went on exchange to America would suffer greatly in their learning ability and efficiency upon leaving Mist City Arts and Science University, ultimately becoming Pity Zhong Yong!
While Ding Yue was discussing this matter with Xu Bin and Huang Youjie.
Secretary Wen Ruohan came over to report: "Principal Ding, everyone you asked to come to the meeting has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yue nodded and said, "Alright, let’s go to the meeting first."
Compared to the upcoming meeting, the matter of the Ike Technology Group exchange students seemed somewhat trivial.
So, Ding Yue decided to attend the meeting first, and afterward, he would further investigate the Ike Technology Group matter to at least confirm whether it was indeed a plot by Ike Technology Group.
"Yue, what’s this meeting about?"
Xu Bin immediately followed Ding Yue out of the office, and then asked curiously.
"Yeah, Yue, I’ve been so busy that you’ve called me over. Is there something big happening?"
Huang Youjie had a gossip-hungry heart.
"You’ll find out at the meeting."
Ding Yue didn’t offer a detailed explanation to the two of them.
After all, it would be discussed during the formal meeting in the conference room, so there was no need to mention it now.
