Chapter 53: The Loan Given

...welcome to read...


Translator: Translated Henyee Editor: Translated Henyee


This was the first time Lu Zhou saw something so strange. Someone gave him money and he had to take it.


Okay, that's a little exaggerated, but that's the point.


According to the Ministry of Education policy, they can provide interest-free loans to students. The university will also match the loan to a ratio of 1:1.


For example, if Lu Zhou receives a loan of 100,000 yuan, according to the policy, the university will contribute 50,000 yuan, while the Ministry of Education will contribute 50,000 yuan. The money will be interest free for one year and after that, it only has a small interest charge. Interest rates are much lower than bank loans. In fact, it was even lower than the inflation rate!


Of course, this did not mean that Lu Zhou could only borrow 100,000 yuan.


The school will determine the loan amount based on the project prototype and its application.


The money will not go into his personal bank account. Instead, it will go directly into the company account. Every expenditure was recorded and hence, he could not spend it rashly. He can only use that account to pay for business expenses until the loan is repaid.


That was very helpful to Lu Zhou. By running the app, he burns his own money. At the rate his bank account was declining, he could not even be sure if he could survive until the end of the year.


Registering a bank account for the company is easy. Who would not want a loan without interest!


The problem is that both computer science and math departments want to fund the project.


The math department claims that their quota has nowhere else to go and they offer to lend 500,000 yuan. If needed, they can give even more. There are no other projects they are interested in.


The computer science department has many projects and they run available quotas. They could give 200,000 yuan at most. But they have talented people. There is no problem of a single project that the professors cannot solve. They are all professors who do consulting work for large companies.


It's hard to decide.


Lu Zhou leaned towards the latter because he did not need to spend a lot of common points. Not all things can be bought with money. However, the dean of mathematics was right in front of him and he could not bring him shame. Otherwise, he would have trouble staying in the math department.


What if the two departments collaborate ...


Lu Zhou thought that besides being honest and handsome, his greatest strength was self-awareness. Although he was a genius, he could not bend the rules.


At least not yet.


If the two departments really collaborated, they would definitely not listen to Lu Zhou's suggestion. They will only lead, as in a mathematical modeling competition.


The two deans did not mention collaborating. That would mean it would be hard to do!


Lu Zhou analyzed this logically. He guessed that this was not only about vanity but also contained actual value. If one of the departments incubates a successful project, then they will feel very proud during the annual meeting.


"Dean Zhang, I'm sorry," Lu Zhou said apologetically. In a sincere voice, he said, “Code for Campus Train is already written and I can manage the update alone. Dean Lu offered me what I needed. ”


Even though he rejected Dean Zhang, he was still trying to soften his punch as much as possible.


However, it seemed like Lu Zhou was thinking too much because Dean Zhang didn't seem to care much. He's just disappointed.


"Oh I understand. So ... Oh yes, if you have any questions about computer science, feel free to ask me. ”


But don't think that the computer science department will allocate a professor as your advisor. Everyone is busy and no one has a lot of free time. Need your own math department head to ask for help if you want help from us.


Of course, there is nothing stopping you from seeking professors or graduate students for help.


"Thank you!" Lu Zhou said solemnly.


“I didn't even help you, no need to thank me! Oh yeah, watch the math modeling competition. If you don't get the first prize, then don't come to find me. I don't know you! ”Say Dean Zhang in a serious tone. He then waved his hand, stood up, and said, "I'm busy, I have to go."


"Just calm down" said Dean Lu. With a beaming smile, he said, "I won't send you out."


"Hey, look how happy you are."


Lu Zhou observed silently as he thought in his heart.


Zhang Zhongjie left and Dean Lu paused for a moment before saying, “Oh yeah, Lu Zhou, I have an application form here. Take it back, fill it up, and bring it back to my office tomorrow. "


"Good!"


Dean Lu was satisfied with Lu Zhou's enthusiasm. He nodded and reminded Lu Zhou.


"Oh yeah, even though this project is a good idea, don't forget about your actual work."


Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I finished my second and third year courses. You can test me now. "


“Oh, I'm not worried about your lesson. Who said I was talking about it? ”Say Dean Lu with a laugh. He then said jokingly, “I don't care about anything else. I only have one rule. You should publish one thesis in a core journal this year. If I don't see your thesis, I'll take your scholarship. "


Lu Zhou: "..."


Even though he knew Dean Lu was doing this for his own good, Lu Zhou still wanted to insult him!


...


The 500,000 yuan loan solved Lu Zhou's urgent problem. At least he did not need to use his living expenses to pay for this expensive project.


At first, he did not expect that there would be so many users. He was happy with the ten thousand users and he did not expect his app to have such a high reputation among the students.


Of course, this meant he had to give up on the rest of the demographic. Since the name [Campus Train] is not very attractive to non-college students, many features are useless to the general public.


So far, the total downloads for [Campus Train] have reached 200,000 with a total of 310,000 tickets successfully purchased.


It was the peak time for students to return to school and thus, it was also the peak time of usage.


The company is registered and it takes three days to gather all the formalities. The money went into his account and Lu Zhou immediately paid for the server upgrade.


If he wants to keep the user, he should make the user happy. Applications cannot be missed. Users will be irritated if they refresh the page and still cannot get a ticket. If so, they might jump to another app.


Lu Zhou opened the developer panel and saw an increase in the number of downloads.


Within a few days, the Android app store will release their recommendations for free apps. This will bring a wave of new users to its app. After that, the return to school period will end around September 10. At that time, he would know how many active users were stable.


"The next step is to continue the update and maintenance, I have the money to hire two programmers so this shouldn't be a problem."


Lu Zhou wriggled and continued to stare at the screen. Suddenly, he saw an unread notification where it said there were many bug reports.


It's a big deal and he has to take it seriously.


Lu Zhou was on guard. He immediately sat up straight and expanded the notification.


"Bug report ... Why are there so many bug reports? Let me see this. "


[Teacher can you see my thesis? My WeChat is ..]


[Please help to write my thesis, WeChat is ..]


[The Weibo vow is shady, I don't care, it's cheating.]


Lu Zhou: "..."


For ck!


Why are you chasing me this far? How many bad people!
