Chapter 139: Challis University, California
Gu Ming got what he wanted last night, and he and Lu Zheng perfectly interpreted the classic version of three dozen white bone spirits.
The plot is too classic, and in the process of sweating from both sides, she secretly said that it was bad, seriously underestimating Lu Zheng's strength, or maybe it was her first time in the world, and the consequence was that she couldn't get out of bed today.
Lu Zheng had something important to deal with today, and he energetically arranged for Tina to stay and take care of her.
Lu Zheng and Sophie rushed to the research institute, and a call came from there yesterday afternoon: the research institute has been built.
Lu Zheng is going to take a look for himself, this is one of the important bases for his hegemony.
Lu Zheng said lightly: "It is a good thing to inform the heads of the research institutes of batteries, computers and electronics, lithography machines, photoresists, chips, and operating systems to temporarily put down the things in their hands and come to the base immediately." ”
As the convoy arrived at the parking lot of the base, the heads of various research institutes also arrived one after another.
Lu Zheng did not go to the office, but took these responsible persons to introduce them to the new office environment one by one.
Lu Zheng pointed to the new office building in front of him and said: "Harveyd, this is the new office location of your lithography machine research institute, and behind it is the trial production line." You make a list of the office and experiments you need, give it to Sophie, and I will arrange for someone to purchase it in a unified manner. ”
The purchaser must only be the Wool who worked hard in the equatorial trade.
Harvid grinned and said, "Okay, I often come to communicate with them during the construction of the office building, and now the rest is basically some small things, and I will implement them as soon as possible." ”
After Lu Zheng successively led the people from various research institutes to claim their new office buildings, he led them to the welfare room and handed over the matter of subdivision to Sophie.
Sophie had a bitter face and asked weakly: "BOSS, can you set up a team of secretaries?" There is too much work now, and other things in the company will basically not be able to be carried out after I come out. ”
Lu Zheng nodded: "I'll explain to Ms. Cassie, after you go back, just give her the number of assistants you need and the scope of work." ”
After a round on the whole, Lu Zheng found that he liked it a little, with green trees and various facilities, not so much an office location as an entertainment venue.
In particular, the chip and operating system research institutes, all kinds of entertainment facilities are simply not too complete.
Lu Zheng looked at the people in charge in front of him, and said calmly: "Everyone, next please take the fastest speed, let's set a week to complete the reception work of the research institute, sign after the confirmation is completed, and I will arrange to transfer the balance to Huaxia Construction Engineering here." ”
After he saw everyone nodding, he suddenly announced a big news.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we must not only use our existing technology and knowledge, but also let go of innovation, and I hope that you will have time to re-enter the university classroom, or to solve problems or learn. ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced around and looked at each of them before continuing: "Just ten days ago, the company commissioned Mr. Thompson to complete the acquisition of Charles University in California. ”
The acquisition of it cost Lu Zheng 1.375 billion euros, which is actually not a loss, after all, including the world's 10th largest library, the library alone has 18 buildings, and the management is clearly hierarchical. In addition, there are many microfilms, maps, musical scores, etc., and there are 800 staff members in the library alone. After Lu Zheng took over, he only needed to keep it as it was for the time being, and then make plans when he had his hands free.
Although California Charris University is not the top university in the United States, it is better because it covers a large area, about 26 square kilometers, and the disciplines are quite complete, in addition to theology, covering arts and sciences, engineering, business, computer science, law, medicine, etc., and the overall ranking may be ranked about 100 among all private universities in the United States.
Lu Zheng was able to acquire it, which is also an adventure, in addition to the large enough area and the collection of books, the results have not been outstanding, even with the full support of several well-known consortia, there are not many big results, and the school has been facing a loss. coincided with the financial crisis in the whole country, and several major shareholders discussed and simply counted the chicken ribs.
The purpose of running the school was to accumulate and consolidate their social status, but now they feel that this is simply a bottomless pit, and the economic and social benefits have become a burden.
The news of their intention to make a move spread within the consortium at a very fast speed, and soon the "meeting people" Morris brothers had a bad idea when they were chatting with Peter: to shoehorn it into Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng also felt a bit ridiculous at first hearing, it was a university, although it was private, several consortiums couldn't play it, this was a huge pit!
Andrei couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, although the reputation of Charris University is not obvious, the undergraduate basic science is quite solid, and the employment rate of undergraduate graduates is 98%, which is generally praised by the society." ”
Blake, who was standing next to Andre, couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, and the proportion of undergraduates entering Ivy League universities is also very large, almost 85%, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important student source base for Ivy League graduate students." ”
Cornelius smiled shyly and said weakly, "I am a graduate of this university. The school first enrolled students in 1923, and the school focused on basic education. At this point he sighed and continued:
"The main reason why the school has a mediocre level of research is that the school management does not attach importance to academic research, and the former owners only have green money in their eyes, where do they understand the importance of academic research. ”
He said it very quietly, but it was still heard clearly by Lu Zheng, who gave Sophie a look, who nodded knowingly and recorded all of this in a small notebook.
Lu Zheng also understands that the reason why they don't pay attention to research is not that they are afraid of spending money, but that they are afraid of spending money. Of course, there will definitely be no return if you don't invest, and in the long run, it will become a source base for high-quality undergraduate students from Ivy League universities.
As for why Lu Zheng estimates that it is ranked around 100th, the ranking of schools in the United States includes academic prestige at the undergraduate level, accounting for about 20%.
There is also the retention rate of graduates and new students, in other words, 100 new students are recruited, and when they graduate, there are still 100 people, so that the retention rate is 100%, and even if the retention rate is 100%, it can only account for about 20%.
Next, there are 20% teacher resources, 15% student quality, 10% financial resources, 10% graduation rate performance, 5% alumni donations, etc., a total of 100 points, Lu Zheng scored his school through these variables, well, 60 points comprehensively, which also has his own emotional factors in it.
Now that he has taken over, then let's give it a go, Lu Zheng quickly returned to his residence, he needs to think about this issue seriously.
