Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 769 MIT's Most Powerful Student Ever

Kailinna stared straight at Niu Xiaoqiang, and it took a long time before she said: "It's fine that you can't fall in love during school, and I can't accept that marriage mainly depends on acquaintances to introduce partners. The difference between the two countries is really true. so big."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "This is caused by the difference in culture, there is no need to be too entangled."

Kailinna nodded and continued to chat with Niu Xiaoqiang.

At 08:30 in the evening, the two put into work again, and it was the same the next day. After two days, 60.00% of the patented technology had been translated.The rest can only be done overtime, because Niu Xiaoqiang will start class on the third day.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the third day, Niu Xiaoqiang arrived at the school on time and went directly to Professor Watson's office.

According to the agreement between the two, Niu Xiaoqiang will not go to the Class 83 classroom. His tutor is Watson, who will teach him alone.

After entering the office, Niu Xiaoqiang found that Professor Watson's eye circles were a bit dark, and he was sitting on the armchair smoking a stuffy cigarette, looking a little frowning.

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously, "Professor, I haven't seen you for two days. How did you become like this?"

Watson first greeted Niu Xiaoqiang to sit down, and then sighed: "Something happened at home, I haven't slept well in the past two days."

Niu Xiaoqiang thought of something as soon as he heard it, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only pretend to be curious and ask: "What happened?"

"Linda quarreled with Kailinna. According to her, Kailinna had a traffic accident because of drunk driving the day before yesterday. The child chose to escape, which made Linda very unhappy. The mother and daughter had a big fight, and then Kailinna ran away from home in anger. It has been two days and she has not contacted her family. I asked Linda to call the police for help, but she strongly objected, saying that she must not continue to pamper the child, and must be strictly enforced from now on. Discipline, otherwise bigger things may happen in the future. In order to force Kailinna to go home voluntarily, she froze Kailinna's credit card. Now that Kailinna is penniless, I am really worried about her. "

Niu Xiaoqiang had guessed the truth just now. Currently, Kailinna is living in his rented house, and the two have already broken the bottom line. If the professor and his wife know about this, the result will be difficult to say.If he doesn't reveal the news about Karina, it will make the professor continue to worry, which is really difficult.

Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated for a while, and finally decided to negotiate with Kailinna first, and see what Kailinna's attitude is.

"Professor, don't worry too much. Karina is an adult. She has worked outside and knows some people. Even if she is penniless, she won't go hungry."

Watson sighed: "I hope so. Here, this is the approval document for the artificial intelligence project. I have already applied for it. You can take a look first. If there is no problem, we will implement this project."

Niu Xiaoqiang took the approval document in his hand and watched it carefully. He was in urgent need of money, and of course the most concerned thing was the research and development funds for the project.

Watson’s estimated R&D funding was around US$20. Niu Xiaoqiang found that the actual situation was much better than Watson’s estimate. MIT allocated US$30 in R&D funding for artificial intelligence projects.

"Professor, are the funds in place? If the funds are in place, I can start working now."

"The money is already in place, how much do you need?"

Niu Xiaoqiang is mainly responsible for manufacturing robots, and needs to buy a lot of equipment and processing tools, which is very expensive.Unlike Professor Watson, he is mainly responsible for writing software programs.Programming only needs a computer, so the funds for this project are basically prepared for Niu Xiaoqiang.

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately put forward his funding needs: "Allow me 15 US dollars first, and if it is not enough, I will ask you for it."

Watson nodded happily, took out a pen and paper and wrote a check: "This is a cash check, you can go to the bank to cash it directly, remember, all expenses need to be recorded in detail, and the foundation will review it later, if If they find that the use of funds has violated the rules, it will be difficult to get their support in the future.”

Niu Xiaoqiang asked: "Can labor costs be included in the expenditure list? Although we are doing research, we also need to eat. We can't let us work for nothing, right?"

Watson said with a smile: "Of course labor costs can be included in the scope of expenses. We have invested in our own technology, which is also a kind of cost, and it is a cost that is difficult for others to replace."

Niu Xiaoqiang then asked: "How high do you think the labor costs should be charged for a technical level like mine?"

Watson thought for a while, and then replied: "You belong to the level of a senior engineer. Calculated according to the annual salary, it will not be less than 20 US dollars. You can set the specific amount according to this standard. It doesn't matter if you set the salary a little higher. If the fund I will raise an objection, and I will speak for you."

Watson knew that Niu Xiaoqiang valued money very much, and that Niu Xiaoqiang was a genius, so it was only natural for him to raise his salary higher, so he took the initiative to help Niu Xiaoqiang raise the price.

Of course Niu Xiaoqiang would not have any objection to this, he nodded with a smile and said: "Then thank you professor for your support, I will go to design the drawings, and after completing the preliminary design, I will go to purchase the required spare parts and tools."

Watson reminded: "We only need to purchase spare parts. MIT has its own laboratory, which has all kinds of high-end equipment. At that time, we can apply for the right to use the laboratory, and process and assemble in the laboratory."

Niu Xiaoqiang has never seen a high-end laboratory before. Hearing this, he showed an expectant expression: "I will definitely speed up and go to the laboratory to see it earlier."

When he said this, he changed the subject: "Professor, you only have one computer here, where can I design the drawings?"

Watson thought for a while, and then smiled: "Didn't I give you a concept computer? You can use it to start the design work of the drawings. If you find it inconvenient to carry the computer around, you can do the design at home. I will help you deal with school matters, and you will not be deducted credits for this."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't wait for this, so he immediately nodded with a smile: "Well, I'm working at home during this time, and when I finish the design of the blueprint, I will definitely report to you as soon as possible."

After negotiating the details, Niu Xiaoqiang turned and left the office. When he went downstairs, he met Douglas head-on.

Douglas was going to class, he greeted Niu Xiaoqiang with a smile, and the two chatted for a while.

Knowing that Niu Xiaoqiang was cooperating with Professor Watson on project research and development, Douglas couldn't help being completely dumbfounded.

After Niu Xiaoqiang left, he came back to his senses and murmured in place: "I'm afraid this guy is the most powerful student in the history of MIT, isn't he? It's too much to cooperate with the deputy dean in scientific research just after entering school." Exaggerated!"

　Thank you book friend "Twilight Reaper" for your support, bow!
