Chapter 898: Jiuding University was built
After returning to Xiangjiang in a low-key manner, Xia Yu did not appear in public, but stayed at home.
In fact, FranΓ§ois Mitterrand also stayed in the island country for a day before returning, but in order to minimize the risk of exposure, Xia Yu stayed at home for five days in a row.
Of course, he didn't waste any time, and specially asked Huo Jianning to send him the development reports of various companies to his home.
Five days later, in the early morning, after Xia Yu finished tai chi in the backyard, he had breakfast with Li Qian and his younger siblings.
Because today is Saturday, considering that it is rare for children to relax, breakfast is relatively late, and when Huo Jianning arrived on time, Xia Yu had not finished eating.
"Good morning, uncle!"
Seeing Huo Jianning coming over with a bag, Xia Mingsan greeted him politely.
"Jianning, have you had breakfast?
Xia Yu didn't get up, smiled and pointed to the breakfast on the table and said to him.
After Huo Jianning smiled at Xia Ming and the other three children, as well as Xia's father and Xia's mother, he shook his head and said, "Chairman, no need, I'm already full at home." β
Xia Yu was not reluctant, and said to him: "Then you sit down for a while, and I'll finish eating first." β
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you use it slowly. β
After Huo Jianning finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa and waited to get up.
Three minutes later, Xia Yu drank the milk, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and came to the sofa to sit down.
Huo Jianning immediately handed over the document and said: "Chairman, this is the development report of seven companies including Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. and Tiangong Electric Appliance Manufacturing Company, and this is the report given to you by President Wang Gengwu." β
Xia Yu took it, flipped through it casually and put down the company's development report, and he slowly read these documents later, not in a hurry.
Instead, he opened Wang Gengwu's report and read it.
The content of the report is not long or short, it is mainly to introduce all aspects of Jiuding University, Xia Yu read it for a few minutes.
Since the end of November last year, after the land was determined and acquired, under the full construction of Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd., Jiuding University was erected in Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, and all the buildings were completed.
Wang Gengwu did not know that Xia Yu had returned to Xiangjiang, but the report had already indicated that he hoped that Xia Yu would take time to go to Jiuding University as soon as possible to decide when to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for Jiuding University.
Xia Yu's interest immediately rose, the importance of Jiuding University to his Jiuding Consortium, as well as to Xiangjiang, is undoubted, and now that it was completed when he returned, it was indeed time to go to the field to see.
He also wanted to see what Jiuding University would look like after it was turned into a real thing.
Closing the report, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning: "Jianning, you inform Principal Wang, I will come over later." β
Huo Jianning's face was solemn, nodded and said: "Principal Wang will arrive at the school on time at eight o'clock every day, and now it stands to reason that he is there, I'll confirm it again, chairman, I'll use the phone." β
"Hmm!"
Xia Yu nodded.
Then, Huo Jianning made a phone call to the office of the president of Jiuding University, and after informing Wang Gengwu, Xia Yu immediately returned to the room to change his clothes and came down with Li Qian.
"Mom and Dad, I'll go out first. β
After talking to his parents, Xia Yu was just about to leave, when his sister Xia Xiaomei suddenly asked crisply, "Big brother, are you going to college?"
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Well, the Jiuding University I invested in has been completed, go over and take a look." β
"Big brother, will you take me with you?"
Xia Xiaomei's eyes lit up and she looked at Xia Yu pleadingly.
"Big brother, I also want to go and see what the university I want to go to in the future is like. β
Xia Ming was also about to move, and hurriedly said.
Xia Yu couldn't help but be happy, and laughed: "Ah Ming, are you sure to study at Jiuding University in a few years?"
Xia Ming nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, the university you built is definitely the best in the entire Xiangjiang, of course I want to go there to study." β
"The second brother is right, we are going to see the university we will study in advance in advance. β
Xia Xiaomei immediately said.
As for Yan Hong, although he had not said anything, his flickering eyes also revealed his thoughts.
Of course, Xia Yu will not refuse this kind of request from his younger brothers and sisters, anyway, going to Jiuding University this morning is also a tour, so he should take them to play, if he can be touched, it would be great.
So he smiled and nodded and said, "No problem, hurry up and change your clothes, I'll wait for the three of you outside." β
"Yay!"
"I'll go now, and I'll come down right away. β
The three children immediately ran upstairs with cheers, and Xia's father and mother couldn't help but smile helplessly, and then cleaned up the table together.
Twenty minutes later, a convoy of five black Rolls-Leicester Phantoms arrived at the gate of Jiuding University in Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, where Wang Gengwu was already waiting with the school's top management.
Xia Yu immediately got out of the car, shook hands with Wang Gengwu and others with a smile and said hello: "Principal Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, thank you for your hard work." "Peerless Tang Gate fo
"Haha, it's not hard, I'm enjoying it. β
Wang Gengwu said with a smile, looking at Xia Ming Sanxiao who was looking east and west behind Xia Yu.
Xia Yu introduced in a timely manner: "Principal Wang, this is my younger brothers and sisters, by the way, I will bring them over to see their future alma mater. β
"Amin, Xiaomei, say hello to your uncles and grandfathers. β
"Hello Grandpa Wang, hello uncles!"
"Hello and welcome!"
......
After greetings, Xia Yu finally had time to visit the school.
Wang Gengwu said to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, let me take you to visit, although the university is built according to the drawings, but some changes have been made in the middle of the construction." β
"Well, then I'm sorry for you. β
After that, the group walked around the empty school.
Jiuding University does not have an exact main gate, there are a total of nine small gates, each gate goes about 20 meters inside, there is a bronze tripod with a height of two meters and two meters, and each tripod is inscribed with an ancient saying.
The motto of Jiuding University is "Responsibility for oneself and the world".
Self-responsibility, starting from oneself, starting from every little thing around oneself, "self-responsibility" is a process of growth, but also a process of continuous learning. In the future, we can serve the school, the society, and the country.
Jiuding University covers an area of 60 hectares, an area 10 hectares larger than Xiangjiang University, and the land has been fully utilized, according to the plan, it can accommodate 20,000 teachers and students, which is definitely enough in the early stage.
As for the later stage, it will definitely be expanded again, as for how to operate, it will be talked about later, Xia Yu is not worried about not being able to get land, although Xiangjiang is indeed scarce land, but when the influence of the Jiuding consortium becomes stronger and stronger, he will not worry about not being able to get the Hong Kong government.
Unconsciously, after visiting the library, the group sat down to rest in the library's science and newspaper hall.
"Principal Wang, the school has been built, it will open next fall, and there are still eight months left before the summer enrollment, I don't know how you are preparing for the teachers?"
Xia Yu asked with concern.
Wang Gengwu sorted out his thoughts, and said to Xia Yu with a worried face: "Xia Sheng, I am already recruiting professors, mainly from various universities in Xiangjiang, of course, Taiwan Province and Southeast Asia have also invited a lot of well-known scholars, and at present, it is only enough to teach more than 2,000 students, and most of these professors are biased towards liberal arts, and there is a big gap in science." β
"Our school can accommodate more than 20,000 teachers and students, but because it is a new university, it only recruits first-year students, so the initial enrollment is 4,000 students, and we only need to set up first-year courses. β
"But our school is a credit system, as long as the credits are completed, students are allowed to graduate early, so the construction of later grades should also be built at the same time, considering this, the gap of high-level professors is even greater. β
"It's very difficult to have enough teachers in eight months, unless you reduce the number of students or lower the recruitment standards......"
As soon as Wang Gengwu said this, Xia Yu immediately shook his head and said: "The requirements cannot be lowered, the ultimate goal of Jiuding University is to become a world-class university, so it must not be bad in terms of teachers, since students come to study with us, then we must do our best to train them to become talents." β
Wang Gengwu nodded in agreement: "My original intention is also unwilling to lower the recruitment standards, so I can only reduce the number of enrollments." β
Wang Gengwu's face was a little gloomy, and he could hear the unwillingness in his tone.
As the head of a school, of course, he hopes to cultivate as many talents as possible, but the reality is too restrictive, and he has done his best.
It is true that the teachers in science in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia are even worse.
Xia Yu pondered for a long time, and thought of a possible way to achieve it, but he would not say it rashly if there was no accurate word.
He said to Wang Gengwu: "Principal Wang, you still need to do your best in this regard, the standard must not be lowered, I will also find a way, half a month at the earliest, and a month at the latest, I will give you a letter of approval." β
Wang Gengwu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I will do my best!"
After speaking, the two of them had nothing to say, and the atmosphere gradually cooled down.
Wang Gengwu patted his forehead and said to Xia Yu: "Xia Sheng, I almost forgot, the school has been built, when do you think a groundbreaking ceremony will be held?"
Xia Yu bowed slightly and said: "The groundbreaking ceremony will definitely be held, and the momentum must be made as big as possible, and I will arrange for the TV station to broadcast the whole process live at that time, covering the entire Southeast Asia." β
"Now it's a question of picking a good day. β
"I'll ask people to choose one when I go back, and it should be held in the near future. β
"Principal Wang, you still need to be prepared. β
Wang Gengwu nodded and replied, "Xia Sheng, don't worry, I have already started to prepare, and it will be completed in three days at most." β
"That's good, wait for my news!" Xia Yu said with a smile.
After that, Xia Yu took everyone around Jiuding University for a long time, and then arranged two cars to send Xia Ming and others home, and he went to Spring and Autumn Hospital.
The Chunqiu Hospital has been completed and put into trial operation, and Li Chunqiu is busy as the director of the hospital.
After coming to the Spring and Autumn Hospital, Xia Yu also visited by the way, and then asked Master Li Chunqiu to choose an auspicious day for him.
After some selection, the time was finally determined, and the corresponding Gregorian calendar was 10 a.m. on October 10!
After the time was determined, Xia Yu informed Wang Gengwu as soon as possible, and then arranged for someone to make an invitation.
Six days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was October 10th.
