Chapter 39 I want lots and lots of money!
"Professor Chen," Xue Lin said.
Chen Hui also sat opposite Xue Lin.
They looked relaxed; it wasn't the first time the two of them had eaten together.
However, Professor Chen Hui always felt that Xue Lin could bring him great surprises every time.
This is something that many people lack.
Soon, the dishes that Professor Chen Hui ordered arrived.
"The signature dishes here are pretty good," Xue Lin said with a smile.
Chen Hui nodded.
He looked at Xue Lin.
Then, he used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of beef and put it in Xue Lin's bowl.
"Young people should eat more, after all, they are still growing."
Xue Lin nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Professor Chen."
"By the way, do you have a preferred university and major? How about considering the architecture department at Jinling University?"
Chen Hui spoke.
He was rather impatient.
After all, a student like Xue Lin is definitely a strategic resource.
It is truly capable of shaking up the architecture market and academia.
Just look at the sensation Xue Lin has caused in the architectural world recently to see that.
The number of citations for a single paper has already reached five hundred.
Furthermore, as time goes on, there will only be more and more.
Later on, reaching tens of thousands of citations would not be a problem at all.
In the field of architecture, even a low-quality academic paper wouldn't have tens of thousands of citations.
Those who can achieve a level of 10,000 citations will subsequently be able to create an architectural system that will cause a sensation.
Or it could be some new building material, or some new architectural style.
These are the topics that the academic community is vying to discuss.
"Regarding the architecture department at Jinling University, I have a few requirements; I wonder if they can be met?"
Xue Lin smiled.
They did not agree immediately.
After all, this is a major life event.
and.
He also wanted to test the sincerity of Jinling University.
"What are the conditions? Tell me."
Chen Hui, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised.
But since he came for this very reason, he was naturally interested in hearing Xue Lin's thoughts.
Xue Lin nodded.
Then he spoke, "First, I want money."
Mentioning this, Chen Hui couldn't hold back anymore.
"Well, I remember Xue Lin's family is quite well-off, right? Tell me, how much do you want? As long as it's within my budget, I think it's no problem."
He was very generous in speaking up.
Hundreds of thousands? Or millions?
He felt that as long as it was within a million, he would be happy to buy the right to speak on the minimalist style of future architecture, along with the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Xue Lin just smiled and said, "Lots and lots of money."
"I want to create my first minimalist building, which will require a lot of funding and a project, preferably a provincial or even national project."
When this was mentioned, Chen Hui fell into deep thought.
He had indeed thought about what Xue Lin said, but he hadn't expected that Xue Lin had thought so far ahead.
They even brought out their minimalist architectural concepts.
"Will you design it? Or will you come up with a design concept?" This was very important, so Chen Hui spoke with a slightly serious expression.
"I'll design it."
Xue Lin spoke.
He took out the villa blueprints from his bag and handed them to Chen Hui.
Chen Hui had seen pictures before, but this was the first time he had seen the blueprints in person.
"Did you do all of this?"
"Yes, including the structural calculation sheet."
Xue Lin spoke.
Structural calculations are also part of the design process. After all, to ensure the main structure does not collapse and maintains stability, most calculations are required.
This is also the job of a structural engineer.
Most of the buildings are relatively stable.
However, many buildings, once designed, inevitably have many structural flaws.
After the architect completes the drawings, the structure requires extensive calculations to ensure its load-bearing capacity.
That is, to ensure that the building does not collapse.
Therefore, Xue Lin naturally calculated all of these things.
Only then will they be able to build this building well.
Chen Hui flipped through so many calculation books and numerous drawings.
He fell silent.
This villa can be described as a fusion of two styles.
But Xue Lin was able to do it with ease, which is clearly a skill.
"This kind of villa..."
Chen Hui paused for a moment, then said, "Large projects are different from villas."
"It took me a week to design this villa."
Xue Lin spoke.
Chen Hui fell completely silent and stopped speaking.
He was simply flipping through the blueprints intently.
Soon, he seemed to have made a decision.
"Okay, I can apply for a project for you. I'll let you know beforehand."
Xue Lin looked somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Chen Hui to agree. However, this was only the first topic he was probing.
"Tell me about your other qualifications."
"I need a laboratory, at least one that can conduct functional testing and research on building structures and new building materials."
Xue Lin looked somewhat solemn, and even Chen Hui, who was standing in front of him, looked at him in surprise.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Xue Lin to say that.
The previous design could be described as a new architectural style, and it was worth exploring.
However, laboratories are part of a university's basic infrastructure, and a dean of an architecture school cannot make decisions about them in a short period of time.
But he did not refuse immediately.
"I can apply for a spot in the basic mechanics and materials laboratories at Jinling University for you. You can use them freely. As long as you publish a paper in a top international journal, I can then apply for more experimental funding and build more laboratories."
Chen Hui spoke; this was the limit of what he could do.
"Can."
Xue Lin naturally nodded; all of these combined already amounted to a considerable number of privileges.
So he didn't have any other ideas.
"Any other requests?"
Xue Lin gently shook his head.
"I haven't thought of anything yet. I'll talk to Professor Chen when I do."
Chen Hui simply smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll make sure these two things are settled then. If you pass the school's entrance exam cutoff score, then come directly to the architecture department."
"Can."
Xue Lin was also smiling.
The architecture department at Jinling University is also quite strong.
So even if he applied to Jinling University, it wouldn't be a loss, so he readily agreed.
All in all, the two had a pleasant conversation over the meal.
At least some of Xue Lin's ideas have been resolved.
As for what happens next, let Chen Hui worry about it. After all, he's the dean of the School of Architecture, so he can probably mobilize those resources.
