The lights were still on in the institute building in the middle of the night. Looking out the circular window of the vice-chancellor's office, many conference rooms where the lights should be extinguished at ordinary times were also flickering at this moment. No one could predict the consequences of Morimoto's corruption crime.

What kind of result? When an event with a probability of less than three ten thousandths actually occurs, it becomes a variable in the chess game. If a butterfly flaps its wings, it will cause a storm on the other side of the ocean.

And what kind of waves this not guilty verdict will cause.

In the office, Takeuchi and Okawara sat opposite each other.

"I really didn't expect that things would turn out like this." Takeuchi gritted his teeth slightly and tapped his fingers on the table, "You didn't attend today's university meeting. That bastard Ochi actually gathered a group of people to attack me! They simply

It’s going to be the opposite!”

Takeuchi vented his dissatisfaction and then looked at the most powerful comrade in his camp: "But what is going on at the industrial and research enterprises? Is it really possible that something will happen?"

Okawara's eyes were deep and he adjusted his glasses: "Don't worry. Nothing will happen. Since Kyoto University implemented the industry-research cooperation strategy, many domestic universities have also followed suit. If Kyoto University is to be investigated, should other universities be investigated?

?To be fair, our industry-research cooperation projects are already very standardized in the whole of Japan. If even we are found to have problems, what about other universities?"

"But, I'm afraid-" Takeuchi still hesitated.

When the information about Morimoto's corruption crime came to him, he didn't care at all.

What kind of waves can a powerless researcher who has already signed a plea agreement make?

However, I didn't expect that the current result would turn out like this.

Okawara smiled softly, "I didn't expect that the vice-principal, who used to be resolute and resolute in the past, would be hesitant now."

"It's not because I was under siege at the university meeting today!" Takeuchi raised his voice, "Today not only Ochi, but also the school directors, and people from the selection committee were also criticizing me. If you were here,

You have to be nervous too! Besides, you were not the one who said that you wanted to send a letter of petition to the Sakyo District District Court in the first place!"

"They can't investigate." Okawara said with a sneer, "I did make a mistake in sending the love letter. However, I just listened to Prosecutor Iwanaga's statement."

"But when it comes to a thorough investigation of industrial and research enterprises, it is absolutely impossible." Okawara continued: "This matter is definitely not as simple as an industrial and research enterprise abusing funds. The funds come from universities. If we really want to investigate

For industrial and research enterprises, you must check universities.”

"And the funds, after all, come from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Are they really brave enough to investigate the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology?! The relationship here is intricate. An accounting inspection agency that does not have much real power can investigate

?”

"Besides." Okawara continued: "Industrial and research enterprises do have some irregularities in capital operations. But the projects they invest in and research are all real. Just for this reason, isn't what we are doing beneficial to the country and the people?

A good thing? Are we going to be exterminated because of a little irregularity in the operation of funds?! What is the truth?! Let the horse run and let the horse eat grass! If we really want to thoroughly investigate the production and research enterprises, it is to unload the

Kill the donkey! I don’t know how many people’s hearts will be chilled!”

"What if something really happens, even if it's the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology?" Takeuchi's expression turned gloomy, "You know those guys are not good at work, but their cutting movements are the fastest. If they

Abandoning industrial and research enterprises as abandoned children? What if they cut them off?"

"How to cut it? Vice President Takeuchi, at this point, you may be thinking a bit simplistically." Okawara replied. "Take our industrial research enterprise of the Faculty of Engineering as an example. How many projects were endorsed by big shots at the top?

Who would easily allow someone to slap them in the face?"

"Secondly, there are now 24 companies in the industrial and research enterprises of our Faculty of Engineering alone, which are listed companies. Indeed, the market value of these listed companies is not high. However, they are still listed companies. How many of these listed companies are there?

Not to mention the shareholdings of well-known venture funds. There are also many government funds under the City Hall that are investing and holding shares. If we want to thoroughly investigate the industrial and research companies, it will inevitably cause the market value of these companies to fluctuate. Of course these stakeholders will not

promise."

"Not only these stakeholders will not agree, but also the tens of millions of investors who have invested their hard-earned money will not agree!" Okawara said quite complacently, "This is the trend. Recently, I have been very addicted to it.

Go. What is particularly emphasized in Go is momentum. It is not about winning or losing one piece, but about forming a general trend that the enemy cannot resist."

"The current trend is that industrial and research enterprises have been tied up with the interests of countless people. Indeed, we lost a son in Morimoto's corruption case. However, looking at the overall situation, our trend cannot be stopped.

, invincible."

"No matter how unstandardized our production and research enterprises are, the superficial procedures and procedures are still completed. On the surface, there is no fault." Okawara added, "Besides, in scientific and technological research, when projects are broken down,

Subcontracting or subcontracting is simply too common. The fund transfer path here is very complicated. Moreover, many projects are also subcontracted to overseas Western companies. Even if the other party has great skills, it cannot be traced!

"

Hearing what Okawara said, Takeuchi's expression calmed down a little.

Normally, when faced with this kind of thing, his heart would never be disturbed.

However, he is currently busy with the selection affairs of the Academic Promotion Association, so he will naturally become nervous.

"Moreover, what I just talked about was only a small trend." Okawara said solemnly, "We still have to see a rolling trend."

"At present, our Eastern economy is growing rapidly and has gradually become an economic force that cannot be ignored. The relationship between us and the Western world has changed from a hand-in-hand relationship to a competitive relationship. Microelectronics, semiconductors, industrial software, information technology, etc., although

There is still a peaceful scene now, but in the near future, friction will gradually escalate."

"Businessmen only know how to pursue profits, but do not know how to plan for the long term. Therefore, there must be elites to guide the direction of capital investment. The industrial and research enterprises are our Dongyang's innovation, and they are a kind of thing that existed before friction came.

Trump card. The existence of these industrial and research enterprises tells our country’s citizens that we can carry out independent research and development and creation even if we do not rely on Westerners.”

"So, these industrial and research enterprises are not just enterprises, but the spiritual totem of our country's technological research and development."

Okawara's eyes suddenly widened a bit, and his expression exuded a somewhat creepy temperament: "Even if the industrial and research enterprise is completely corrupted, so what? It must continue to exist, it must exist.
Chapter completed!
