Chapter 107: Signing Up for the Campus Singer Contest! Claiming the First Prize! (Part 3/3)

However, the new property title would take seven working days to obtain.

Mr. Zhang handed over all the keys to the villa to Tang Feng.

“Tang Feng, although our transaction has ended, I hope we can keep in touch. If you ever go to Australia for studies or travel, please call me! I will definitely show you around!” Mr. Zhang offered.

“Sure,” Tang Feng nodded and wished, “Hope you have a pleasant life in Australia!”

Then, Mr. Zhang drove away.

At this moment, Tang Feng received a call from Su Xiaoli.

“Tang Feng, the seminar just ended on my end. Where are you?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“I’m at the villa,” Tang Feng replied.

“Dean Zheng is hosting a lunch at noon and would like to invite you to join. Do you have time?” Su Xiaoli inquired further.

“Yes! Where will the lunch take place?” Tang Feng agreed.

“At the university’s reception center,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“I’ll be right there! See you in a bit!”

“See you!”

Tang Feng locked the villa’s door and, humming a tune, walked out of the residential area to the reception center.

Su Xiaoli and others were already waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Tang Feng, she hurriedly walked a few steps to greet him.

“How was the seminar?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“Very successful! The experts attending were very satisfied with the solutions to the six problems! They had nothing but praise for you!” Su Xiaoli responded.

“That’s good,” Tang Feng smiled and went forward to greet Dean Zheng and Professor Li Ping.

Dean Zheng introduced the financial experts around him to Tang Feng.

Most of them were experts from universities and research institutions in Jingcheng.

These experts, upon seeing Tang Feng, were also generous with their compliments.

After all, Tang Feng was still a student, and the fact that he could provide such perfect solutions to the six problems posed by Professor Li Ping!

It completely exceeded their expectations!

“It’s getting late! Let’s go have lunch!” Dean Zheng invited everyone.

Then, everyone headed to the banquet hall.

Tang Feng, Su Xiaoli, Dean Zheng, and others sat at a table.

Once everyone was seated, the dishes were served one after another.

Dean Zheng, as the host, stood up and gave a few opening remarks.

Then, everyone began to eat.

“Tang Feng, where do you plan to publish these manuscripts?” Dean Zheng, after eating a piece of white garlic pork, asked with a smile.

“It depends on your suggestion. My idea is to publish them in domestic journals,” Tang Feng replied.

“Although there are many financial journals in our country, their impact factors are not very high. Are you sure you want to publish them in these domestic journals?” Dean Zheng reminded kindly.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “If even our own Chinese scholars aren’t willing to publish in our domestic journals, then their impact factors will never improve. We’d just be making wedding dresses for others.”

“Well said! Tang Feng, I didn’t expect someone of your young age to have such awareness! Currently, our domestic scholars, when submitting their papers, always prefer those top international journals. They only choose domestic journals after being rejected by foreign ones. If this continues, our domestic journals will never have their day in the sun,” a professor from Jingcheng Normal University exclaimed.

“It’s unavoidable. Those top international journals indeed have high impact factors. Our domestic universities and research institutions highly recognize them,” another professor sighed.

“The main issue is that we produce too few research results in science. If we had more results, our domestic journals would definitely develop quickly,” Professor Li Ping said.

“With so many expert scholars, as long as we all make an effort, we can surely achieve more excellent scientific research results,” Tang Feng was full of confidence.

“Tang Feng, your knowledge in finance is so profound. If possible, could you teach us a few classes? It would also elevate our level of finance,” a professor from Tsinghua University suggested.

“Yes! If you teach, I’ll definitely sign up!” another professor declared.

“Of course! You could also charge a fee appropriately. I believe everyone would be willing to pay.”

“Thank you all for your kind words. I’ll think it over when I get back. If I decide to teach, I’ll let you all know,” Tang Feng smiled.

“In that case, we’ll be waiting!” The anticipation was evident in everyone’s eyes.

The meal lasted almost two hours.

The experts who came to the meeting gradually left.

Soon, only Tang Feng, Su Xiaoli, Dean Zheng, and Li Ping were left.

“Tang Feng, since you want to publish these manuscripts in domestic journals, I’ll contact the chief editor of ‘Finance Scholar’ later and try to arrange a special issue for you,” Dean Zheng said.

“A special issue? Aren’t there enough manuscripts?” Tang Feng was concerned.

“Fifty pages, indeed not much,” Dean Zheng nodded.

“How about this, I’ll write a few more papers to make up the number of pages for an issue,” Tang Feng decided after some thought.

“That’s a good idea! But when can you complete these papers?” Dean Zheng asked.

“If nothing goes wrong, I can write them out this afternoon. I’ll have Xiaoli give them to Professor Li,” Tang Feng replied.

“That quick?” Dean Zheng was astonished upon hearing this.

“I think it’s okay. Just a few papers, shouldn’t take too long,” Tang Feng said somewhat sheepishly.

“Tang Feng, I really want to transfer you from the mathematics department to our school of economics. But if I do that, Professor Gao and the others would probably fight me,” Dean Zheng said, shaking his head with a sigh.

“Dean Zheng, thank you for your appreciation. Although I’m not in the school of economics, if you encounter any problems, you can also come to me for solutions,” Tang Feng offered.

“Okay,” Dean Zheng nodded.

“By the way, Tang Feng, did you and Mr. Zhang complete the transfer?” Li Ping seemed to remember something and asked.

“The transfer has been completed. But the new property title will take seven working days to process,” Tang Feng replied.

“Did he give you the keys?” Li Ping continued to inquire.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded.

“Then you should get someone to change the lock on the main door. The other locks, if you wish, can also be changed. As the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry. It’s better to be cautious,” Li Ping advised.

“I will,” Tang Feng took her advice.

Then, Tang Feng bid them farewell and left with Su Xiaoli.

“Professor Li, what’s going on?” Dean Zheng was somewhat confused by their conversation.

“Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli were looking for a house in the neighborhood where I live, and I happened to meet them. I knew an owner who was selling a villa and helped contact them. Now the villa has been transferred,” Li Ping replied.

“Is he planning to move out of the dormitory?” Dean Zheng asked.

“Probably to live a two-person world,” Li Ping guessed.

“Young people nowadays are really crazy!” Dean Zheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

“It’s mainly because he has the capability. Ordinary students, with the living allowance given by their families, simply cannot afford the rent. You didn’t see it, he bought a three-million villa as if buying a bicycle,” Li Ping’s eyes were filled with envy.

Although she is a professor of finance at Jingcheng University with a considerable income,

If she had to spend three million all at once, she would definitely be heartbroken.

“It’s mainly because his income is high. Recently, he successfully proved the Riemann hypothesis and received a reward of one million dollars! Buying a villa is indeed not a big deal for him,” Dean Zheng laughed.

“His papers being published in ‘Finance Scholar’ will probably earn him several hundred thousand in royalties. His ability to make money is indeed astonishing!”

“Knowledge is wealth! This phrase is fully demonstrated in him! I feel that as long as he puts in a little more effort, becoming a billionaire is just around the corner,” Dean Zheng said.

Li Ping chatted with him a bit more, then they parted ways.
