Chapter 834: Establishment of Scholarships

"Do you have any ideas for cooperation?" asked Guo Chengmin with a smile.

"Principal Guo, through my observation of your school in the past two days, I found that the teachers and students of our school are really full of talents, yesterday I also communicated with the director of the mechanical department and several faculty members, they are all highly respected, knowledgeable scholars, the students taught, are also a top elite, with a strong self-motivation and the idea of serving the country, which are the pillars of our country's future scientific and technological development. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "So I want to set up a scholarship in your school, and I will give your school 300,000 yuan every year to reward those students who study hard......"

"300,000 yuan?" Hearing the amount of scholarship Duan Yun said, Guo Chengmin was taken aback.

300,000 yuan, which is almost equivalent to the total profit of a small and medium-sized enterprise in a year, even in their Taiyuan mechanical colleges and universities, the annual funding is about 1.5 million, and this is a significant increase in scientific research funding since last year, and it used to be about 1 million per year.

And Duan Yun opened his mouth to donate 300,000 yuan to their school every year to set up a scholarship, which is almost equivalent to 15 of their school's total annual funding, such a large amount of money really made Guo Chengming feel excited.

You must know that universities in this era are very short of money.

The universities of this era are not comparable to the universities of later generations, and they are not of the same level in terms of infrastructure and teaching equipment.

According to the statistics released by UNESCO in 1985, the proportion of education expenditure in GDP is 5.7% on average in the world, 6.1% on average in developed countries, and 4% in developing countries.

It is precisely because of the constraints on the investment of scientific research funds that universities in the 80s made few breakthroughs in the academic field, and their influence abroad was very small, and there were almost no internationally influential papers or academic achievements.

Relevant information has revealed that in 1988, according to state appropriations, Tsinghua University had a deficit of 8 million yuan, Peking University had a deficit of $10 million, and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics had a deficit of 7 million yuan.

Although Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering is a subordinate institution, it is better than other ordinary universities in terms of funding, but even so, the annual education funds allocated by the Ministry of Machinery to Taiyuan are only enough for the school to maintain normal expenses, and larger scientific research projects are not daring to engage in debt.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are

As the president of Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Guo Chengmin has always hoped that the school can make a difference in the academic circles at home and abroad, but engaging in scientific research is a very money-burning thing, in view of the limited funds, Guo Chengmin has always hoped to find another way to obtain more sources of funds through cooperation with social enterprises and institutions.

"The scholarship of 300,000 yuan is just a conservative number, and in the future, if our enterprise benefits are good, we will increase investment in our Taiyuan Mechanical Institute...... Duan Yun Zhengse said.

Duan Yun directly used the scholarship to attract him at the beginning, because he knew that the reason why Guo Chengmin invited him to dinner was definitely not for any academic exchange, because the person sitting in his position mainly considered the operation and management of the school, as for academic exchanges, the professors, teachers and students below may be able to have technical exchanges with him, but the principal invited him to dinner, it must be to seek cooperation.

"This is really thanks to Manager Duan, our school has always adhered to the development idea of facing the society and mutual benefit, and seeking win-win cooperation with local enterprises. Guo Chengmin smiled slightly, and then said: "The fist product produced by your factory is Longteng series automobile gearbox, we can name this scholarship "Longteng Scholarship", and in the future, our school can also send students to your factory for internship to strengthen the ......interaction between us."

Guo Chengmin can achieve the position of the president, naturally he is not the kind of conservative and pedantic scholar, he also knows that Duan Yun must have a requirement to donate such a large scholarship every year, and the most valuable thing in the university is talent, so he immediately decided to name this scholarship with the product name of Duan Yun Factory, and at the same time, he will also export students to Duan Yun Factory for internship.

"President Guo, I hope this scholarship will be named "Tianyin Scholarship". Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Let me tell you this, I am now the general manager of the Red Star Labor Service Company, but I also run my own private enterprise, Tianyin Electronics Factory, in principle, our Red Star Labor Service Company often runs a large collective, and I have no right to embezzle the funds of the large collective to donate to your school to set up scholarships, so this money is actually donated to your school in the name of my private electronics factory......

"Well, this is easy to say, it's just a change of name, the name Tianyin Electronics Factory seems to be quite familiar......," Guo Chengmin said.

"Principal Guo, do you usually watch TV? There is an advertisement from our factory on CCTV, which is an advertisement for a man carrying a guitar and jumping into a space step......," Duan Yun reminded.

"Tianyin subwoofer!?" Hearing this, Guo Chengming suddenly suddenly said, "It turns out that Tianyin Electronics Factory is your private enterprise?"

"Yes, it does. Duan Yun nodded, and then said: "Tianyin Electronics Factory is registered in my mother's name, but in fact, it has always been managed by me, and currently has sales outlets in all provinces and cities across the country, with an annual profit of up to millions. ”

"Awesome......" Hearing this, Guo Chengmin couldn't help but feel a little shocked, he also knew about a private enterprise run by Duan Yun before, but he didn't expect that the electronics factory business run by Duan Yun would be so big, and the profit of millions a year was simply astronomical in his opinion.

In fact, according to the current development situation, Duan Yun's Tianyin Electronics Factory is just around the corner to break through 10 million profits a year, but when facing Guo Chengmin, Duan Yun does not want to expose the company's details, saying that a profit of several million a year is enough for him to prove the strength of his electronics factory.

"Let's be honest with President Guo, I am now managing two enterprises at the same time, and at present, the provincial department has transferred 5 college students to our labor service company, which is enough for an enterprise with 300 people such as a labor service company. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "The key is that my current private electronics factory and the machine processing factory that will be opened in Shenzhen lack a large number of highly educated R&D talents, so I would like to ask President Guo, can I come to your school to recruit some graduates in the name of private electronics factories and machine factories?"
