Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 419
At night, at 9:37.

Kyoto University, Faculty of Engineering, Research Building.

The conference room was full of professors from the Department of Engineering.They had stern expressions, complained dissatisfiedly from time to time, and whispered to each other.Most of them have already heard about the evening trial.Many people were terrified when they heard that the defense lawyer even wanted to direct the disaster to other people in the engineering department.

After all, the cruel fact that Morimoto was detained in the detention center for almost a full year reminded everyone present that once involved in the case, he would face such a disastrous situation.

Ogawara sat at the far end of the long conference table, clasped his hands and frowned.Today, the economic meeting of the Faculty of Engineering, he was forced by the professors to hold an impromptu meeting to discuss the countermeasures for the current situation.Now in the entire department, all the professors from top to bottom are questioning the industry-research joint strategy that they had implemented at the beginning.

In the conference room, there were whispers everywhere.Because the issues to be discussed are extremely sensitive and important, even the administrator who usually serves tea and water is not allowed to enter.The big professors in the past didn't care about the lack of water, even if their mouths were dry, they didn't care.

"Okay! Gentlemen!" Daheyuan was a little irritated by these whispering voices, and said loudly, "Now is the time when our department is facing difficulties, and we need to unite and work together to tide over the current difficulties. .Only in this way is the feasible way to solve the problem.”

"Before, I have always opposed the joint strategy of industry and research!" A professor said, "I said it a long time ago, there will be accidents if you do it like this! You don't believe me at all! Where there is a lot of money, right and wrong will follow. Many. Many good and bad people in the production and research enterprises have also brought some problematic atmosphere into our research institutions!"

"Yes!" Another scholar also echoed, "The use of scientific research funds has always been a sensitive issue. Now, we have established so many joint production and research enterprises, constantly pouring money from the left hand to the right hand, from the right hand Fall to the left hand. Even if these funds are not misused, this kind of continuous transfer and transfer itself brings a lot of risk!"

The speeches of these two people seemed to stir up a thousand waves with one stone.The vast majority of people in the conference room nodded in agreement, and the complaints came and went one after another, like continuous waves, constantly churning.

Hearing these voices, Ogawara snorted coldly.

Sure enough, the world is still dominated by mediocre people.

As mediocre people, they simply cannot understand the vision and pattern of capable people.

A mediocre person can only focus on his own rice bowl, and his vision from beginning to end is only the amount of food in his own bowl, and he doesn't know how to raise his head to take a look at this vast world.

He has been in charge of the engineering department for more than ten years.

In this short period of ten years or so, Dongyang's engineering is no longer just living on its past laurels, but has shown a vigorous and prosperous situation, and can even compete with Western cutting-edge engineering skills in some fields. Who can understand the bitterness along the way!
Ogawara's face flickered a bit displeased, and he said: "If there is no joint production and research enterprise, I would like to ask all of you present, can you still sit in this position today!!!"

As soon as the stern voice of the engineering authority came out, the murmured discussions in the conference room stopped in an instant.People always have a nature of unconsciously obeying authority.

The dean of the engineering department continued: "What is scientific research? Is it something that can be imagined by sitting in the study all day long?! If there is no huge investment, what can be researched?! Which important technology cannot be successfully developed by the country with the power of the whole country!"

"In the past, we in Toyo kept reducing the university budget, cutting it again and again. Some departments could not even guarantee the funds for students to conduct experimental courses. Under such conditions, we still have to imagine that our country can cultivate super first-class students. Scientist, this is not a dream, what is it!!"

The sound in the conference room became quieter for a while, and the two professors who had spoken against it just now fell silent.

"It's not me, all of you here." Ogawara said with a gloomy face, "Only relying on such a small shit budget of Kyoto University! Can you support your laboratory?! Your doctoral students?! Your research group?! Without these things, what do you rely on to publish papers! Review titles!"

"The industry-research cooperation strategy has introduced a large number of talents, technologies, and equipment from the industry. Without these tangible things, the so-called scientific research is empty talk! On the one hand, the industry-research enterprises entrust university research institutions to carry out some scientific research projects For research, funds flow to research institutions. Research institutions also have some commissions, which must be done by industry and research companies, and the funds that have been idle in universities have also been used.”

"This is an extremely virtuous circular exchange!" Daheyuan continued, "Let the industry and research circles cooperate for a win-win situation! Without production and research enterprises, our engineering department would have died a long time ago! All of you here, Is there any professor who has not accepted the entrustment of the production and research enterprise?! Has not accepted the funds from the industry!!"

Ogawara's voice was constantly reflected back and forth throughout the meeting room.This authority in the field of engineering, at this moment, is like a king reprimanding the ministers under him who are not doing things well.Although the professors present were slightly inferior to Ogawara in the academic field, they were all respectable figures.At this moment, no one in the audience raised objections to Ogawara's statement.

"Why is the academic world in our country so sluggish!" Ogawara said, "Have you ever thought about this problem? I have thought about it, and I have thought about it for a long time before I figured it out. In the final analysis, it is because of our Oriental intellectuals, They are still under the influence of the so-called 'scholar-bureaucrat' spirit in the East."

"We always think that if a person becomes a scholar, he must be poor and sit on the bench. Why?! Why can't people who have made outstanding academic contributions not be able to get matching Material rewards. Take a look at the famous professors of Western universities, which one of them is not driving a sports car and wandering around the campus. Only the intellectuals in our country will be so sick that they think that being rich is a crime!"

"Why should I introduce an industry-research joint venture?" Da Heyuan said, "With my research group and my past academic reputation, even if the university cuts the budget again, it will not be able to kill me. The reason why I want to do this To do this, besides alleviating the difficulty of researchers’ lack of funds, the most fundamental purpose is to cut off our past wrong idea that scholars must be poor!”

"Scholar is also a secular profession, and we must find its usefulness. Just now, the professor said that where there is a lot of money, there will be a lot of right and wrong. If you don't invest more money, can you get scientific research progress? ! This concept of treating money as a scourge is simply outdated and ignorant! We scholars must also learn to lobby like politicians, and we must also learn to self-package and promote like the business world. If we still stick to that kind of scholar-bureaucrat Ideas, waiting for the results of our country's research community, there is only a dead end!"

Even though Ogawara's words were filled with anger, they spoke with sincerity, and many words were right on the minds of many professors present.In a short while, before the meeting, there was still a trend of accusing Ogawara, but it turned around again.The vast majority of people in this world are like this, being manipulated like weeds.

For a long time, no one in the conference room said a word.

However, the problem is still not resolved.

Although many people present were affected by Ogawara's speech, however, no matter how pleasant these verbal remarks were, they could not resolve the real crisis at hand.Facing the menacing accounting inspection institute that has issued a stop payment order, how should the engineering department deal with it.

"Professor Ogawara, what should we do now?" A scholar asked.
