Chapter 2100: Chapter 1922: Driven Mad by Busyness A scientific research team of over ten thousand people. In Huaxia. There’s hardly any found. Can’t afford it. Ten thousand high-level technical positions, paying ten thousand wages per month for each, we are talking about over a billion a year, and that’s only the labor cost. The resources used in research and development, those numbers are even more unfathomable. Billions. Tens of billions. That’s not exaggerating. Therefore. There’s almost no competition, and over the recent months, some thought they found an opportunity, taking advantage of the delay in Tiangong’s launch, rushed to stake a claim, working extra hours to quickly set up a website. Like Taobao. Where everyone can freely trade patents and technology. At first. Lively. A large number of technologies and patents were listed, and the single trades surpassed ten thousand quickly, skyrocketing every day, springtime success, even securing the first angel round of five million. Valued at one hundred million. However. A platform without technical support is, in the end, nothing but a castle in the air. This isn’t Taobao, where buying counterfeit goods means you at least have a product, and losses aren’t severe, but this is technology—a formless item. If lost. Nothing remains. Therefore. There are plenty of sellers, but few buyers. Later, in a single day, a technology transaction exceeding tens of millions was exposed, shocking the internet, causing the website’s valuation to soar again, reaching three hundred million. Unfortunately. Before they could even celebrate for long, it was verified as false. Moreover, internal personnel also revealed that over eighty percent of other completed deals were fabricated by companies, truly illustrating the old saying: Watch him rise to high towers. Watch him feast his guests. Alas. The building collapsed. "This month, many universities and your company signed cooperation research agreements, and outsiders speculate that this will at least double the scientific research capabilities of the park. Is that true?" The journalist asked again. Hearing it. The director smiled and nodded. Double? Understated. A hundred directly cooperative universities cannot be underestimated. "Indeed." "In the future, we will establish a public technology collaboration and exchange mechanism to connect learning, research, and production, overcoming the commercial barriers to fully realize the value of technology." "Among them." "We will also direct the training of excellent researchers, starting in their first year of university, guiding some outstanding students toward becoming scientists. This will be one of our future focuses." "..." The interview. Almost turned into an exclusive interview. However. Lengthy as it may be, as long as there’s enough buzz, no fear of lengthy footage. .... After a while. The exclusive interview ended. The journalist approached the side of the line. "Hello." At a glance. He spotted a polite gentleman in line. "Hello." Seeing the camera, the man was slightly nervous. The journalist smiled and asked, "Sir, what technology are you preparing to sell?" Hearing this, the man smiled awkwardly, "I’m here on behalf of my teacher." "Are you a postgraduate student?" "Doctoral studies." The man said. This time. He specially rushed from Xiang Province to submit several technical documents, hoping for Tiangong’s valuation, as even his teacher doesn’t have the energy to go through the patent databases of so many countries around the globe. Moreover. The key is the valuation. Previously. A company wanted to buy, but all they offered was dirt cheap prices, genuinely dirt cheap, not enough even to recover research costs. Hence, with the sudden emergence of a relatively authoritative valuation institution. He naturally wanted to try. In the technology field. There’s a scarcity of such institutions. Of course, there is also the possibility of lower valuation, given technological iterations and value zeroing out. That way also saves one from clinging to empty hope, waiting foolishly. Following that. The questions were arranged in a formulaic manner. "What do you think of Tiangong?" "Very well." The man praised. "Solving a problem that has troubled us for years." "What if the valuation is low, would you accept it?" The journalist asked. The man smiled, "I believe that Tiangong will give a fair valuation, whether low or high, it all stems from a psychological expectation. This psychological expectation is both hope and pain." "In the past." "How many people clung to a technology, clung until they were eliminated, trapped in regret." "There were also many who were swayed, sold their technology cheaply, and were trapped in regret." "But now." "With Tiangong, we at least have a fair technology value judgment standard for reference. At least, the Sky Eye can provide us with a base valuation, saving us from being misled terribly." "It can also organize the somewhat chaotic technology market and make it orderly." "..." In short. A round of praise. Even the journalist was a little dizzy, wondering if he was a plant. But in fact, of course not, she wasn’t a researcher and couldn’t deeply understand and experience the emotions and frustrations within this industry. However. To say there’s no relation with Tiangong isn’t complete either. The man’s doctoral supervisor is a cooperative professor at this University Cooperative Institute, which means technical valuation is free for him under this identity. "Do you think a valuation fee of ten thousand is high?" "Not high." The man thought: My teacher didn’t pay. Moreover. This was heartfelt. As his teacher’s student, he naturally knew Tiangong’s technical appraisal process. The cost of experiments alone often exceeded ten thousand, and adding in assessment, it was definitely more than that. When compared to some other valuation institutions. A conscientious price. "Elsewhere, the spending would definitely be many multiples of ten thousand. And if you think the ten thousand valuation fee is high, then the value of that technology is concerning and can also avoid unnecessary workloads." "..." Afterward. The journalist continued to spot people with the same questions. The answers received were much the same, full of support. They had waited for three months, eagerly awaiting its emergence, not wanting the technology to fall into their hands. ... Inside the park. At this moment. Already a busily bustling scene. Despite having ample mental preparation, they were still amazed by the mountain of workload. Within a small morning, hundreds of technical verification tasks piled up, driving them crazy busy. Verification. Assessment. Elsewhere, a technology typically requires at least a day for results, or a week, even longer. Thus, seeing their task list already scheduled ten days later, all could only smile wryly. At this rate. By evening. It might be scheduled two to three months ahead. Alright. Accepted it. Who called us to do this job? Moreover, they could continually engage with new technology, evidently beneficial for personal growth, and many wild ideas were quite enlightening for them as well. They calculated in their minds. One year. In just one year, what they could learn might not be achievable by other units in ten years. They felt like Sky Eye in the technology field, intensely challenging. At Sky Eye. One year. Equivalent to several years of external work experience. Here, too. Work. Suffering. Yet joyful. Especially some technology enthusiasts, eyes sparkling, looking at each task like seeing a beauty, with only one thought: understand, learn, conquer. Of course. The tasks weren’t entirely on their shoulders. A hundred university cooperative research institutes are not for show; tasks were categorized by technology type, situation, divided into sub-tasks. Distributed down. Instantly. The expansive scientific research network constructed by the Smart Space Industrial Park began operating swiftly.
