It's probably very difficult for this team to secure tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in research funds for equipment.
"Something else? Oh, I get it, it's definitely that old man from Princeton who keeps bothering you, right? Just ignore him. Roth Dugan that old guy even called me, asking why he couldn't contact you recently, and why you didn't reply to his emails. I think he just wants to poke around about your material model.
You probably don't know yet? It's Lv Bei's department; another two teams have moved into our university. I heard that several have already been caught. They all wanted to probe into the material model. I even called Liu Chenfeng here yesterday for a serious talk. He's in the research institute and is likely to become a major target of infiltration.
Oh, right, the number of overseas networking attacks against the school has suddenly increased. The other side is getting desperate!"
Actually, Qiao Ze really wanted to tell Xu Dajiang that it wasn't just Xilin University of Technology; his data storage on the Youwei server had been busier lately. Dou Dou had feedback for him, he knew the details, and by accessing Dou Dou's database, he could see a bunch of analytical data.
But after thinking about it, he just couldn't be bothered to talk so much with Xu Dajiang.
A person who is usually idle is likely to treat these matters as mere stories.
He just happened to have no interest in storytelling.
So he cut to the chase, "It's about you. I've received news that you are going to be transferred to Linhai Institute of Technology as a vice-president."
The other end went silent in an instant.
Xu Dajiang blinked, somewhat bewildered.
"Me? Going to Linhai Institute of Technology as vice-president? Are you sure? Where did you get that information?"
"Very sure." Qiao Ze simply sent a screenshot of the backend announcement pulled up by Dou Dou to Xu Dajiang through a split-screen.
Although Qiao Ze didn't tell him the source of the information, the moment Xu Dajiang saw the screenshot, he believed it, and immediately became furious!
"Who the hell is this? Who thought of this idea? Linhai Institute of Technology? Even dogs wouldn't go to that crappy school, and they want me to go? Professor Qiao, it's obvious someone wants to pick our peaches! As long as you're here, whoever takes over the School of Mathematics will be considered the number one mathematician in Huaxia. They're treating this position as a stepping stone! Can you tolerate this?
I'm different. I have feelings for the Xilin Mathematics Institute and don't care about such false reputations, nor do I want to use our institute as a stepping stone for the ambitious. I just want to honestly make our institute number one in Huaxia and in the world, and then retire honorably from this position. So, I can't go."
After speaking, Xu Dajiang's eyes darted around, and he said, "Or maybe it's better this way, I'll resign too. Let your father-in-law take over the research institute, and I'll apply for a deputy director position. This way, the future achievements of our research institute can still benefit the School of Mathematics. Sigh, at Linhai, I'm worried about leaving Xilin's foundation in the hands of others."
"It's fine, I was just asking for your opinion. If you don't want to go, just stay in Xilin. When the university approaches you for a talk, just say if any one of me, you, Li, or Director Yu is transferred, the rest will resign."
Qiao Ze straightforwardly threw out his thoughts.
He decided to bind the three people he considered the closest and most capable in the university.
That way, even if they really had to jump out of Xilin University of Technology, they would have enough hands on deck for the initial management.
Xu Dajiang would handle internal management, Yu Chenggong would take care of external liaison, the future Academician Li would preside over the research institute as the external figurehead, and he would be at ease focusing on his own work.
Today's experience at Yue Sheng Precision made Qiao Ze realize that he has an inherent shortcoming when dealing with outsiders.
Especially in the face of excessively courteous businessmen, he is even more inept at handling complex interpersonal relationships.
However, Yu Chenggong would certainly be different; such activities would naturally be like a fish in water for him.
"Exactly, that's what I'm thinking. Professor Qiao, let's do it this way. I'll synchronize our stance with Jian Gao and Chenggong right away. Although we are in different positions, we are all gentlemen! When gentlemen encounter villains and suffer losses, we need to join forces. This is what is called a group of gentlemen without forming factions!"
"I'm hanging up." Tired of listening to Xu Dajiang's rambling, Qiao Ze hung up the call.
However, Qiao Ze still took note of Xu Dajiang's words.
Roth Dugan was looking for him?
Indeed, he hadn't contacted his international colleagues recently.
After solving the mass problem of Yang-Mills Fields and becoming a researcher, he had been a bit off-task lately.
He hadn't started on new research in mathematics and physics for some time, preoccupied by mundane matters and doing applied work like the material model.
As for theoretical work, he had only done some summaries and organization of his previous research findings.
After all, the superspiral algebra and transcendental geometry research groups needed enough material for their topics. It wasn't possible to rely solely on his previously published papers to summarize and collate the content of the two mathematical systems perfectly and create a new discipline.
So he intentionally reduced his communication with the outside world.
On one hand, there was temporarily no need for much communication, and on the other hand, it would be troublesome if the other party wanted the same material.
Although the content related to mathematical theory research is not classified.

But Lv Bei awkwardly told him that his manuscript had become classified.
That was probably an aftereffect of his conversation with Luo Benyuan the other day.
A material model was formulated through the theory derived from his manuscript. But in fact, it was a product of the integration of multiple technologies. Mere theory was obviously not enough, and it took artificial intelligence to efficiently integrate countless data to achieve such results.
