《English Translation》

黄刚: 小花, did you see the news? The newly appointed vice president of Northwest University, 范代娣, has actually become the richest person in Shaanxi, with a net worth of over 40 billion yuan!
陈花: Really? I've only heard of entrepreneurs becoming the richest. How can a university vice president be so rich? How did she do it?
黄刚: She and her husband not only teach at the university, but also founded companies in the pharmaceutical and aviation fields. Especially that company Giant Biogene—it distributed tens of billions in dividends after going public. Their daughter is only 29 and already a senior executive at the company. A typical top academic family.
陈花: Looks like professors can really make money by commercializing their research. But I'm a bit concerned—will having such a wealthy vice president affect the atmosphere at the university?
黄刚: You have a point. But looking at it another way, if successful business experience can be brought into the university and help commercialize more research, it's a good thing for both the school and society.
陈花: Exactly. As long as interests are handled well, university-business collaboration is a big trend. The key is transparency, so people don't misunderstand.
