A couple of days after the decision, Ishida visited Hiroki with somebody who appeared to be a faculty employees.

[I’m sorry for having you come all this way.]

[No, no. It sounds interesting, and I’m the kind of person who is inclined to go to places when something interests me.]

Once they obtained out of the automobile and exchanged greetings, Ishida all of the sudden felt one thing unusual.

[Arehh…… President, doesn’t the atmosphere around you feel rather different?]

[Ehh…… Is that so? I’ve been drinking often lately, so I guess I became fatter?]

Laughing, Hiroki tapped his stomach, which was tighter than earlier than.

Nonetheless, Ishida appears like Hiroki is an entire lot larger than he was.

Additionally, there’s his eyes.

There are two ways in which individuals have a look at highly-educated intellectuals like Ishida.

They both have a look at you as should you’re a teen who doesn’t know what the actual world is like, or they have a look at you with pure respect.

Hiroki’s eyes have been neither of those although.

“”

His eyes felt like they’re black holes, as though he himself had approached them, it felt like he wasn’t concerned with them and was one thing else.

[Sensei, is something the matter?]

When Hiroki referred to as out to him, Ishida realized that he had been silent for some time.

Ishida pushed such ideas away from his thoughts.

The explanation he had come to such a distant place was to take the initiative within the upcoming enterprise.

To be able to do this, he needed to maintain speaking with extra data than the opposite social gathering may course of.

[It’s nothing. It was just that I had been up late doing research.]

[I see. I guess being a scholar really must be tough. Ahh, it’s getting hot, so let’s talk about the details in the office.]

[Yes. We’re in your care.]

Pulling himself collectively, Ishida adopted Hiroki.

★　★　★　★　★

[This place was quite clean, wasn’t it?]

Ishida’s reward on the sight of the workplace was exaggerated, however he wasn’t simply attempting to say flattering phrases.

Until they work in an trade the place they’re serving clients, the workplace of native small companies would normally be a messy place affected by image frames with quotes on the partitions and papers scattered everywhere, however Hiroki’s workplace that they have been led to was tidy for a room that additionally capabilities as his residence.

[Well, I suppose it’s just that I don’t have that much stuff.]

As Hiroki stated, there have been so few issues in his workplace that it was virtually bleak.

In his workplace, there was a settee for guests, an workplace desk and a laptop computer. Then, there’s the small fridge.

After which, on the wall, there’s solely a big flat display screen monitor.

All of those are new.

[That’s a big monitor.]

[I use it for my hobby. It also doubles as a TV.]

There didn’t appear to be a lot tools within the workplace that might require the usage of a big monitor although, so Itsuki questioned if Hiroki used it to observe shifting or one thing.

If that was the case although, he ought to have had a greater sound system, however he didn’t appear to have any audio system or something like that.

Nonetheless, he simply pushes such ideas apart.

They got here right here in the present day to speak about enterprise.

[First of all, I’d like to explain our services to you……]

[You’re talking about that venture, right? I understand.]

[In the first place, there is the context in the government policy that universities and companies should contribute as members of the local community……]

Ishida signaled to the employees to organize the paperwork for everybody, and commenced easily talking his phrases.

★　★　★　★　★

[……And so, well, that’s how it is. This is the background of the promotion of the system known as the University-launched venture companies. It’s a national policy, so to speak.]

Ishida’s hour-long monologue lastly ended.

[I see, so that’s how it is.]

Questioning how a lot he actually understood, Ishida smiled at Hiroki’s fixed affirmation.

[The university’s technology is put to practical use by the companies. The way they do this is through corporatization. If the university sells their technology and the company just buys it, there will be no mutual development. In the first place, technology is always advancing, so incorporation is desirable to ensure continuous investment in technology development.]

(T/N: Corporatization refers back to the restructuring/transformation of a state-owned asset or group into a company.)

[Hmmm…… but does that even apply to this case? I’m not receiving any technology from the university after all……]

Ishida nodded his head in settlement to Hiroki’s reply.

This was the purpose the place Ishida targeted his knowledge probably the most.

Guiding the listener’s questions by giving explanations with holes in them beforehand, and rising their confidence by answering them.

It is a presentation approach that can also be utilized in tutorial paper displays.

[That’s the thing! I think President Gomi’s technology is wonderful. However, even though they knew that you had some sort of great technology, the municipality and large companies that you do business with are worried about the fact that they don’t know what exactly you were doing.

……Please don’t misunderstand what I’m about to say, but even though there are some companies that have been touted for their amazing technologies, there are also some companies that would be seen as fraudulent for possessing an impossibly amazing technology. In the U.S., there was a scam that raised a huge amount of money by claiming that they were able to diagnose all diseases a person has with a drop of their blood. As for ascertaining such technologies, I think it would be difficult to say. That’s why companies that can explain their technologies will often get the job.]

[Ahh, I see. I’ve read about that company on the internet. If I remember correctly, the president was a young and beautiful lady, wasn’t she?]

[Yes, she was. However, she actually did well. Large corporations and local governments are vulnerable to appearances.]

[Hmmm…… But I kinda look like……]

[No, no, President Gomi looked fearless enough, but that isn’t the point. What I’m talking about is the appearance in business transactions of the scientific reliability of the test results data.

For example, you’ve seen those commercials that show a notebook PC that was dropped from a meter above ground several times in a Drop Impact Test, right? When dealing with large corporations, you would need such data.

If I were to give a concrete example, you would have to send in the results of the survey we did last time to your business partners, only it would be before and after your waste treatment. If possible, install sensors and monitoring posts, and set up a system that allows for hourly reporting. If you can show that you are in compliance with the law, then companies will be able to do business with you with confidence.]

[I see…… The appearance of the data huh. That’s certainly something I didn’t do……]

As a sole proprietorship, Hiroki’s workplace didn’t have the services to conduct such inspections, nor did he have the talents to jot down reviews that might assist an audit by a big company.

[You could set up just the monitoring post, and the data transmission could be done from the university lab. In fact, that might make it look more reliable.]

[But even the laboratory would become part of a company through the Industry-Academic Collaboration, right? Being that it’s part of the circle, would that report really be alright?]

(T/N: So, it’s identical to asking the CIA to research the CIA.)

[It was because the laboratory is still affiliated to the university. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.]

[I see, appearances huh……]

Ishida felt just like the duck was getting completely drawn in.

There is no such thing as a approach he’d let this timing away.

After Ishida signaled the employees beside him with a look, the employees pulled out a contract from his bag.

[For the time being, for our conversation to proceed, I prepared a contract. The contract is just a memorandum, and it’s for applying to the university for future travel expenses and such. If it’s good with you, I’d like you to stamp your seal on it.]

[Ahh, yes, yes.]

Hiroki accepted the contract that was naturally offered to him.

Listening to Hiroki’s phrases…… Ishida inwardly smiled.

……For if he simply stamps his seal, that know-how would now be his.

Fascinated by how unbecoming such know-how is for a country-side firm, Ishida plans to make it helpful to the world……

Ishida was satisfied that his plan can be a hit.
