My art is too advanced.

Chapter 327 gave us way too much! (Please vote with monthly tickets!!!)
He didn't know where his mother got the news, but she must be very proud of him.

That would have been fine, but after seeing the overwhelming news coverage, he felt it was still very meaningful. After all, he had done so much, and if he could get recognition, it would be a good choice.

At least Mom didn't know what an academician was; she only knew that her son had already established himself in academia, or rather, he had completely made a name for himself.

During this period, he also sent a lot of money to his family. The two elderly people basically have no worries about their livelihood. They spend their days thinking about where to go and enjoy life.

In fact, he still envies this kind of life. He also wants to enjoy life. In fact, he has earned enough money now to live a life of leisure.

But he can't just give up now; those who are richer and more capable than him...

Well, perhaps those people weren't as capable as him, but at least those with more seniority didn't choose to give up. They continued to work in their positions, and even continued to shine in their front-line academic careers.

That seems to be about right.

He didn't think about anything else.

But he doesn't think about it; others are thinking about him.

Professor Chris quickly sent a message. They mainly communicated via email, but they did have contact information. However, Professor Chris and his generation were quite traditional, and communicating via email was definitely better, since the emails were readily available and attachments could be downloaded at any time.

Moreover, although they don't completely separate academics and personal life, there is definitely still some distance between them.

Academic knowledge isn't necessarily applicable to everyday life, so leaving get off work is leaving get off work, and dealing with emails during work hours is actually a pretty good option; they probably all do it that way.

This was the first time they had contacted him through his contact information. After all, previously, Professor Chris and his team had sent emails directly to the ministry, even to the top level of the education system, and then pressured him layer by layer.

This left him rather speechless. After all, with each layer pressing down on him, although there was nothing wrong with it, almost the entire system knew about his matter.

"Has Professor Zhou considered becoming an adjunct professor at Imperial College London? We can provide no less than 300 million in research funding each year."

"As for the salary, it will not be less than 100 million, of course, in our currency."

When Zhou Yue saw this news, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

What's going on? What's their currency?
Putting aside everything else, the price difference is more than several times.

In other words, the R&D funding could be as high as several billion?

Convert it to their system.

real or fake?

Professor Chris even said that all of this was still negotiable?

Zhou Yue had no idea he was worth so much?
Moreover, the price they offered was so high that he was hesitant to claim it.

Even a top scholar might not be worth that price, right?
That is, some businessmen might value it at this number.

And he's a part-time professor, how can a part-time position be worth so much money?
However, he still declined.

After all, if someone gives him so much money, they must expect him to complete the corresponding projects. If he doesn't put in the effort, they might cut off his cash flow.

But actually, he himself felt that it was really not worth that much money!

After all, although he can earn around 100 million a year here, most of it comes from the money from his books. As for the rest, it's probably just design fees. If he were to do design work, he could indeed be worth that much money.

Of course, on the other hand, while he could certainly earn billions from design work, it would definitely require working day and night.

The main reason is fear. Professor Chris certainly couldn't negotiate a price of this level. Zhou Yue wasn't sure what kind of power was behind him, and even their own Academy of Sciences probably wouldn't dare to give a foreign academician so much funding.

Perhaps there are people over there who appreciate him, but he feels that things are actually quite good in his own country, except that he can't earn as much money.

But for someone of his caliber, money is probably just a number.

At least for now, he hasn't reached the point where he needs to struggle for money, and he doesn't have high demands for his quality of life, although this current sum of money is definitely the highest offer he's ever received.

The University of Tokyo, and even top universities in other countries, have tried to poach him with money more than once, and the offers have been very high.

While it's not quite that much money, it's certainly very sought after.

Zhou Yue didn't think much of it.

He thought the matter would be over soon, but the next day...

Teacher Guo then called to ask him, "Did Professor Chris invite you?"

"They invited me, and offered an exorbitant price; I didn't dare accept."

"That's alright. He sent an email to the school saying he wants you to come as a visiting scholar."

"Are you kidding me? I'm already a second-level professor, why would I need to go abroad for visits?"

"The terms they've offered are pretty good. Do you want to hear them?"

"Forget it, there's really no need for it. I think Ning Province is actually quite good, after all, this is where I studied and lived."

"Unless something unexpected happens, I don't want to leave the province. As for going abroad, I've never even considered it."

"alright."

Teacher Guo was also smiling.

They didn't say anything more, and that's probably the end of it.

Professor Chris is genuinely interested in spending a lot of money to buy him.

He sighed softly.

But it was no use. He wasn't that eager to go abroad. If someone had offered him an exorbitant price when he was penniless and didn't have a system, he would have packed his things and gone without hesitation.

As for being a visiting scholar, even when he first obtained the system and met Professor Chris for the first time, if the latter had invited him, he would have packed his bags and gone straight there.

Let's forget about it for now; he has no such intention.

And there's no need to even consider that.

It's actually quite good here, and scholars should continue to prepare for the prosperity of academia. He feels he has done a very good job.

Of course, if the other party only wants him to come and give lectures, he would definitely be happy to do so.

After all, there's only so much to architecture, and only so many people in it.

But he still doesn't really like working on long-term projects.
