After a pause, Yang Yuliang looked kindly and asked, "Have you ever been to our school's Jiangwan Campus?"

"Jiangwan?" Fang Nian shook his head, "No."

Fudan has four campuses in total. Except for the main campus on Handan Road, Fang Nian really doesn’t know where to open the doors of other campuses.

Although there are commuter buses between campuses.

But classmate Fang Nian has never been there even once.

Not only that, Fang Nian also knew that Zhangjiang campus had strong computer capabilities.

Of course...

He still knows the approximate geographical location.

Seeing this, Yang Yuliang was not surprised.

Few students will move between the four campuses unless necessary.

"There is the Shanghai Mathematics Center on the Jiangwan Campus, as well as four major disciplines of biochemistry and environmental materials, and there are plans for an advanced materials laboratory, etc..."

Yang Yuliang first briefly introduced the situation of Jiangwan Campus, and then said.

"Since this year, our school has had many exchanges and communications with several other universities, and basically decided to place the address of the Frontier Institute opposite Jiangwan Campus."

"Due to factors such as geographical location, there is still a lot of open space in the surrounding area, and all aspects are better coordinated."

"..."

Although Yang Yuliang did not mention any other matters.

It’s not like we actually solicited Fang Nian’s opinions on this aspect.

But Fang Nian still heard the implication of Yang Yuliang's words.

After all, Frontier is actually only responsible for the overall research center aid construction and planning proposals.

In fact, if it weren't for the alliance of multiple universities, with so many universities in Shanghai, tens of thousands of square meters of indoor space could still be freed up if they were squeezed together.

After all, even a university like Xi'an Jiaotong University can easily provide 10,000 square meters of vacant houses without water or electricity.

The reason for building an independent research institute is to facilitate management, unify external affairs, etc.

As for the University of Science and Technology of China, space is really limited.

And because of the geographical location and other factors, it is not difficult to choose another location, and it can also bring corresponding additional development attributes...

The implication of Yang Yuliang's words is very simple. If Fang Nian is dissatisfied with the non-independence of Nuwa Laboratory, can he consider building a research center near the Frontier Institute?

If Frontier has this desire, Yang Yuliang can help.

Fang Nian smiled and said: "Jiangwan is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a good place to do research. The principal has a far-sighted view."

Then he paused for a moment, then said frankly: “Actually, the main conflict with Pudong is that the frontier is not very reasonable;

The total area of ​​open space exceeds 200 acres, and Frontier initially wanted only 12 acres. Considering that Frontier’s current business model is not perfect, it is likely that there are no plans to build a headquarters in the near future.”

For this reason, Yang Yuliang naturally understood.

Frontier actually has long-term plans internally, but considering factors such as financial pressure and corporate development, it does not have the absolute strength to build a headquarters in the near future.

However, Frontier believes that Nuwa Laboratory needs to be independent, and this independent place must have sufficient scalability to avoid the inconvenience of expanding the headquarters industrial park based on the research center in the future.

All in all, Frontier obviously hopes to use its reputation and possible future development to gain enough confidence from the district government.

After listening to Fang Nian's explanation, Yang Yuliang suddenly understood why some inexplicable conflicts occurred.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuliang frowned slightly: "The strength of the frontier is not so unbearable, right?"

"Compared with using funds for the construction of industrial parks, Frontier prefers to spend money wisely first." Fang Nian replied with a smile.

"After all, even according to the preliminary plan, the overall construction cost of the entire industrial park will exceed 3.5 billion."

"..."

Yang Yuliang doesn’t know much about business management either.

But after all, he is the president of Fudan University, and he is also a well-known figure in the academic field of higher education in China.

The information in the field is naturally well-informed.

I know that in the second half of last year alone, Frontier’s planned investment in pure academic research exceeded 5 billion.

This is only direct investment and does not include additional investment.

Not to mention there is a laboratory in Luzhou with a total investment of 12 billion.

So we can understand what Fang Nian means.

No matter how rich Frontier is, it is not to the point of treating money like dirt, let alone the ability to spend billions casually without blinking an eye.

In the end, Yang Yuliang just sighed: "That's it."

Fang Nian took advantage of the opportunity of drinking tea to think about it, and finally made up his mind: "Principal, I wonder if you can help mediate between Qianfian and Yangpu. Qianfian hopes to build an independent research center near Jiangwan."

Hearing this, Yang Yuliang frowned and looked puzzled: "Huh?"

"Frontier is not..."

Fang Nian smiled lightly: "It's better this way. Some things can't be forced."

"This may be the best choice for Frontier at the moment. It is much better than worrying about the head but not the bottom."

After hearing what Fang Nian said, Yang Yuliang didn't hesitate much: "Okay, I will do my best on this matter;

I believe that Yangpu local government will also be happy to see the results. After all, the R&D and creative capabilities of Frontier's laboratories are obvious to all, and it will be easier to revitalize Yangpu's technology park deployment in Jiangwan."

Hearing this, Fang Nian moved his eyebrows slightly and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, principal."

"..."

There is a big difference between a university president and a businessman or politician.

The words are relatively direct.

Yang Yuliang's words are basically over.

In other words, cutting-edge research centers will be built and implemented in Jiangwan in the near future.

However, this time, Fang Nian no longer plans to rely on the cutting-edge research center to subsequently build a cutting-edge headquarters industrial park.

even if……

Yang Yuliang told Fang Nian almost explicitly that there was a lot of open space near Fudan's Jiangwan campus.

Whether it should be said or not, Yang Yuliang did take care of Fang Nian.

After Fang Nian made the decision, he told Fang Nian that Yangpu had a large-scale plan for a science and technology park in Jiangwan land.

Generally, science and technology parks led by local governments cover tens to millions of square meters at least.

This is relatively good news.

But if you tell Fang Nian before he makes a decision, it will put Fang Nian into a more difficult decision.

Because after learning about the plan for the Frontier Industrial Park, Yang Yuliang said it again, which was almost like telling Fang Nian explicitly that the Yangpu local council would prefer Frontier to put its headquarters there as well.

On the Jiangwan plot, it is okay to put a research center, but if you put a frontier headquarters, it will not be very beneficial to the frontier.

Although Fang Nian still made a compromise today.

But Yang Yuliang's various actions directly prevented Fang Nian from making greater concessions...

After watching Yang Yuliang get into the Audi and leave, Fang Nian left the small teahouse on foot without much hesitation.

I took the initiative to make an appointment with Yang Yuliang, and the result was very beneficial.

It solved the problem of site selection for the cutting-edge Shanghai-Fudan Joint Technology Research Institute and actually promoted development.

It also solves the problem of location selection for cutting-edge research centers.

In Yang Yuliang's caring and kind attitude, Fang Nian deeply understood the art of compromise for the first time.
