Chapter 934: Start with Education First

If you want to do MacLehose's work, you must have something to impress him and convince him, and before his think tank comes up with a complete plan, Xia Yu can only deal with other things first.

At the beginning of the new year, there are countless things in the Jiuding Consortium, many of which require him, the supreme helmsman.

However, although the full plan has not yet come out, there are some things that are destined to be done, and sooner rather than later, such as talent and education.

After being tired from work, Xia Yu took some time and came to Jiuding University again.

After many months, when he came to Jiuding University again, Xia Yu saw a new look.

The layout and structure of the school remain largely unchanged, but there are many small improvements that have been made, such as flowers and trees on both sides of the campus road, various sculptures and special decorative small buildings, etc.

At least Xia Yu shuttled through Jiuding University again, feeling a lot more comfortable.

And one thing that stands out is that he meets people more often in college.

Most of these people I met were middle-aged or older, and they should be teachers from various universities in the mainland who came to help build universities.

Sure enough, after seeing Wang Gengwu, Xia Yu got the exact answer from his mouth.

"Mr. Xia, do you want me to call the heads of universities in the mainland to introduce you?"

Standing in the corridor at the door of the principal's office in the administration building, Wang Gengwu said to Xia Yu, who was looking around.

Xia Yu smiled and shook his head and rejected Wang Gengwu's proposal: "There is no need to be so troublesome, you just know the specific construction situation." ”

Wang Gengwu immediately nodded and said: "Every week, I will convene a meeting with everyone to discuss the situation, so I can understand most of the situation of the entire school, and I also know the progress of the creation of each college. ”

"Okay, let's go in and talk about it, you talk to me!"

After speaking, Xia Yu turned around and walked into the principal's office, came to the sofa and sat down.

Wang Gengwu sat down next, and then told the situation of the school.

Xia Yu listened quietly and nodded from time to time.

Unconsciously, nearly forty minutes passed, Wang Gengwu drank three cups of tea, and finally finished telling the general situation of the school.

Xia Yu said aloud: "That is to say, the mainland's aid to the construction is very strong, the faculty of each college is no longer a problem, and the teaching design work of each college is also more than half, and it is expected to be fully completed in April?"

Wang Gengwu nodded and said: "Yes, April is the most conservative period, and if it goes well, it can be advanced for a period of time." ”

"According to the predetermined plan, independent enrollment will be carried out closely. ”

Just now, Wang Gengwu told Xia Yu about independent enrollment, which also took into account Xia Yu's previous proposal, that is, for geniuses who are biased.

Jiuding University is not a public university after all, and Wang Gengwu has no administrative pressure, so he will not be so rigid in terms of admissions.

And he has Xia Yu as his backing, and he can also block people who go through the back door without any scruples, unless Xia Yu opens his mouth to let people in.

According to his idea, it is to recruit talented people as much as possible, make the best use of their talents, and cultivate them in a targeted manner, so that the talent rate will be higher, which is conducive to the fame of Jiuding University.

Human energy is limited, and the knowledge of the world is endless.

In Xia Yu's view, the situation in Xiangjiang is different from that of the mainland, what he needs is not a mediocre person who knows everything but is not good at anything, but an elite in a certain aspect!

In this world, there are indeed many geniuses who are biased, such as Qian Zhongshu, Ji Xianlin, Luo Jialun, Zang Kejia and others, if they are not admitted to the university, then they will not be able to receive a better education, and it is difficult to say whether they can have later achievements!

Therefore, Jiuding University's independent enrollment is a bright avenue for those geniuses who are biased towards the subject, which is good for students and schools!

It is worth mentioning that Jiuding University implements the same wide entry and strict exit system as American universities, focusing on credits and GPA!

This gives partial students a chance to come in, the study of the university mainly depends on themselves, in addition to the basic compulsory courses, other courses according to their preferences, as long as the credits are completed, skipping grades and graduating early, if they are not completed, then repeat the grade.

Having said that, in addition to independent enrollment, there are still normal admissions in July and August, until the start of school in September, and now there is still more than half a year before September, and there is still plenty of time!

Therefore, Xia Yu talked about the purpose of his special visit this time.

"President Wang, according to your communication with the education department of the mainland and the understanding of various universities, is the faculty there enough to make Jiuding University continue to expand several times?"

"The teachers I am talking about must have real talents!"

Although Xia Yu knew that the mainland would definitely open the door to him in this regard, he wanted not only quantity but also quality, and the specific situation must be better known to Wang Gengwu.

Hearing this, Wang Gengwu thought carefully, nodded and said: "I have also gone to various universities in the mainland before, and I have also had in-depth discussions and consultations with the professors who assisted in the construction, there is no shortage of talents in the mainland, with Mr. Xia, your friendly relationship with the mainland, as long as you open your mouth, Jiuding University can be found to expand the faculty tenfold!"

After speaking, he asked the question in his heart: "Mr. Xia, are you planning to expand Jiuding University in the near future?"

Xia Yu bowed slightly: "Not only in the near future, I plan to vigorously support the education construction of Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang has a big gap for high-quality talents from all walks of life, and the current enrollment of Jiuding University is not enough!"

"If we expand new science and engineering colleges now, will we not have time to enroll students together this year?"

Wang Gengwu frowned, and quickly calculated in his heart.

Xia Yu didn't bother, picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

After a long time, Wang Geng Wucai said: "Mr. Xia, there is still half a year to leave school, and the teachers, teaching materials and curriculum design can be completed.

"However, if the enrollment is expanded, then according to the current school teaching building and dormitory building, it will have to be adjusted. ”

"Jiuding University, which can accommodate 20,000 teachers and students, plans to open a quarter of the dormitories for this year's enrollment, and the main teaching building and the teaching buildings of each college will all be opened. ”

"Each college has its own academic building, and if you want to open new colleges and majors, you can only combine the two colleges to use one teaching building, because this year there are only first-year students, and it will not be crowded. ”

"But this is a potential pitfall, and it can only last until the sophomore year, because if the enrollment is doubled, the whole school will be full by the sophomore year. ”

Xia Yu understood what Wang Gengwu meant, and he immediately said: "President Wang, you don't have to worry about this, I can build Jiuding University in one year, and it is very simple to double the expansion in two years." ”

"I will arrange for someone to communicate and arrange the expansion of the school, and you don't have to worry about land and construction. ”

"After a while, I'll ask you to have a meeting with you, and then we'll decide which colleges and majors to open down. ”

Xia Yu's plan is to compare the current Jiuding University with today's Jiuding University after the complete plan comes out, to see what aspects of the talent training system are still missing, and then open it in a targeted manner.

Wang Gengwu immediately nodded and responded, "Okay, then what preparations do you need me to make these days?"

Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "You first find out the professional advantages of science and engineering in these universities in the mainland, and then it will be convenient for the counterpart to help build them." ”

"You can also mobilize your contacts to inquire, in addition to these aided universities, what professors and scientists are in other universities in the mainland, and the Huaxia Academy of Sciences may not be able to dig them up, but there must be many cattle who have not been selected for the Academy of Sciences but are not badly capable. ”

"The more lists you figure out, the more talents I can dig up for Jiuding University, and if you can't figure it out, leave it to me to solve." ”

In order to help his university get more talents, Xia Yu can let go of his body and ask the mainland for help!

Xia Yu knows that although there are two houses in Huaxia now, these two houses are not the other two houses.

At present, there are only the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was established at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, which was approved in 1978.

As for one of the two academies in later generations, the Huaxia Academy of Engineering, which represents the highest honor in the Chinese engineering and technology circles, will not be established until 1994, when some of the country's top engineering and technical talents will be gathered.

Taking into account the particularity of the times, there are not a few high-level and top-level scientists in the field of engineering and technology who have not been collected by the state in all parts of the country and in the private sector at this time.

Instead of letting them waste more than ten or twenty years of time, or even grow old with regrets, it is better to let them make the best use of their talents and come to Jiuding University, which has better scientific research conditions and environment, to engage in scientific research with peace of mind in this life, and create more value in life!

In this era without the Internet, there are not a few people who are quietly engaged in scientific research!

Wang Gengwu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Xia, don't worry, I'll start doing this today!"

......

Next, Xia Yu chatted with Wang Gengwu for a long time, mainly asking him what difficulties he had, etc., and he ordered someone to record them, and he would arrange to solve them when the time came.

Approaching noon, Xia Yu went straight home, and when he went to work in the afternoon, he called Liu Shihao, the president of Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., again.

Before Liu Shihao was in charge of Jiuding University, he knew the situation better.

Xia Yu chatted with Liu Shihao for more than 20 minutes, and asked him to prepare for the expansion of Jiuding University.

The Kowloon Peninsula covers an area of more than 47 square kilometers, and Jiuding University occupies only 60 hectares at this time, and according to the calculation that one square kilometer is equal to 100 hectares, Jiuding University only covers 0.6 square kilometers, accounting for about 1.2 percent of the area of the Kowloon Peninsula.

Moreover, the expansion problem was considered before, and the Hong Kong government thought of the problem of commercial development, so the location of Jiuding University was at this time, which was relatively remote in Clear Water Bay, Kowloon.

In the future, Qingshuiwan was well developed, but now it is still relatively barren, so there are not many people around Jiuding University, and the difficulty of demolition is very small, which is enough to expand Jiuding University more than three times.

The matter of Jiuding University was put aside for the time being, and Xia Yu set his sights on the distant European continent - France in his spare time!

With just over two months to go until the first round of voting in the presidential election, the competition among the various parties is already tense!
