249: Not a buddy? Just graduated with a PhD and already a second-level professor?

Dr. Guo Hao is here.

President Huai enthusiastically walked up to meet Guo Hao, his eyes full of smiles as he looked at Guo Hao and said.

"President Huai, we are old friends, no need for this formality!"

Guo Hao said to President Huai with a hint of helplessness.

"Hahaha! There's no harm in being polite!"

As they spoke, the two had already sat down on the sofa in President Huai's office.

President Huai began to make tea for Guo Hao.

After Guo Hao took a sip of tea.

At this moment, President Huai smiled and said to Guo Hao.

"Regarding your treatment, the Yan Aviation school committee has already discussed it. Firstly, you will directly receive the treatment of a Level 2 Professor, and in addition to that, your salary will be increased to two million per year."

"Furthermore, regarding the Laboratory and research funding issues, there will be five million in research funding annually. This portion of the money will be transferred by the state to your Laboratory account."

"There's also the issue of the Laboratory."

Saying this, President Huai paused. He looked at Guo Hao in front of him and said.

"The school currently has an empty Laboratory. Various equipment is already being purchased for you. You can tell us about any instruments you need, as long as the value is below thirty million, it's not a problem!"

"As for the output of the Laboratory... we can sign a contract where the school takes fifty percent, and the remaining fifty percent can entirely belong to you."

President Huai looked seriously at Guo Hao and said.

"Then, you can use the school's large equipment. Also, these are not included in the Outstanding Youth plan. Regarding the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund Project, we have already helped you apply."

"Given your excellence, this fund project should not be a problem. Wearing the hat of an Outstanding Youth is quite comfortable!"

President Huai smiled and said to Guo Hao.

"These conditions are fine."

A two-million annual salary is already quite good.

Five million in research funding is also considered a very good treatment. After all, Beihang's annual research funding is limited, and being able to get five million is probably something the upper echelons of Beihang barely managed to allocate and squeeze out!

Beihang is not as rich as Peking University and Shui Mu University, each school earning tens of billions every year.

Guo Hao didn't care about these things.

As for being a Level 2 Professor, that's also normal.

In science and engineering, below an Academician, a Level 2 Professor is already at the top. Moreover, even a school like Yan Aviation does not have the qualification to evaluate Level 1 Professors.

A Level 2 Professor is already at the top.

In the field of science and engineering, a Level 1 Professor is basically equivalent to an Academician.

Therefore, Guo Hao didn't pay much attention to these things.

"Alright then! Shall we sign the contract?"

Hearing Guo Hao agree directly, President Huai was immediately overjoyed. He looked at Guo Hao beside him with a slight excitement.

"No hurry."

Guo Hao pondered for a moment, looking at President Huai.

"I want the Laboratory to be private, a wholly-owned personal Laboratory. Also, the school's research funding doesn't involve patent rights, right?"

Hearing Guo Hao's words, President Huai was stunned for a moment.

A hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

"The research funding is fine, it's equivalent to a research subsidy for you, but building a Laboratory requires a large amount of capital, this..."

"It doesn't matter, you help provide the channels, I'll pay for all the equipment myself!"

Guo Hao was wealthy.

Last year, Guo Hao seized the peak period, when bitcoin was one thousand US dollars per coin, he sold eight thousand coins, directly selling them for eight million US dollars.

Then without the slightest hesitation, Guo Hao, who was in South Korea at the time, directly invested all the money into Fannie Mae.

Guo Hao had heard of this stock in his previous life; it rose exceptionally fast because of the Ugly Country's real estate market. In that year, several major real estate companies in the Ugly Country rose very quickly.

Fannie Mae was one of the best among them, Guo Hao had seen it on the news before.

In just over half a year, Guo Hao's eight million US dollars directly multiplied by six or seven times.

Currently, Guo Hao's funds in US stocks have reached nearly seventy million US dollars.

Putting aside other things, setting up a Laboratory is completely without any problems.

"In that case, there's no problem."

President Huai looked at Guo Hao beside him with some surprise. He really didn't expect Guo Hao to be so rich, especially considering Guo Hao's family background.

He wasn't some rich second generation!

His parents were both state-owned enterprise employees, his father was a small Leader in the local power grid. Although the family situation wasn't bad, it was actually just average.

Those Laboratory instruments cost hundreds of thousands at every turn, and some large instruments even cost millions or tens of millions!

Where did Guo Hao get so much money?

As if seeing the surprise in President Huai's eyes.

Guo Hao smiled.

"I know some computer technology, and I spent some time on the foreign internet before. I think virtual currencies like bitcoin are very promising. Before the College Entrance Examination, I bought ten thousand coins, and I sold them last year, making a bit of profit."

Guo Hao knew very well that this kind of money couldn't be hidden, especially if he wanted to use it.

It couldn't be hidden from anyone. Stating it directly was being open enough. Anyway, in this era, virtual currency was not yet legally regulated in Dragon Country, and the money was overseas, completely not violating Dragon Country law.

Stating it directly wouldn't cause any problems either.

"Is that so!"

President Huai himself was a top figure in the computer science field, so of course, he knew about the situation with bitcoin.

"Blockchain technology does have many merits, but things like bitcoin are overly hyped. It's good that you were able to sell it last year. This year, bitcoin has plummeted a lot."

President Huai smiled and said to Guo Hao.

"So, Student Guo Hao, you currently have a few million US dollars? That's quite a bit of money, but are you planning to use it all to build a Laboratory?"

"No, after I sold bitcoin last year, I directly invested the money into US stocks. Now I should have tens of millions."

Guo Hao shrugged.

President Huai beside him was stunned. An expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes as he looked at Guo Hao beside him.

No way! Are all these top Mathematics experts stock gods?

So amazing? Although the US stock market was good last year, even when the market is good, most people still lose money!

"Then I have no problem..."

President Huai looked at Guo Hao in front of him with a wry smile.

The two discussed a contract again.

It was directly printed out using the printer in President Huai's office.

Guo Hao directly signed the contract.

After signing, they also took a photo.

On the same day, the Yan Aviation official website posted a piece of news.

Good news!

Congratulations to our Yan Aviation graduate, Dr. Guo Hao, for signing a contract, joining Yan Aviation, and becoming a Level 2 Professor at Yan Aviation!

This good news was quickly shared by Yan Aviation students and then spread rapidly on the internet!

It quickly caused a huge stir!

"Holy crap! Awesome!"

"Seriously, buddy?? That fast???"

"Didn't Guo Hao just graduate with his Dr.? He signed a Professor contract this fast? And it's a Level 2 Professor???"
