Chapter 165: Unexpected Donation

"The so-called university is not only a building, but also a master. ”

The words of the old president of Huaqing University expressed the true meaning of the university.

Today is the centennial anniversary of China's top university, and a grand ceremony was held.

As well-known alumni, Han Hao and his wife Chen Lingxi were also invited to visit the school.

"I only have this opportunity because of your light. ”

As a member of the EMBA class, frankly speaking, Han Hao thinks that he can only be regarded as a transfer student. Compared with undergraduates like Chen Lingxi, they are indeed inferior in composition.

"The best students in our school have all gone abroad to study, and only students like me who have suffered your way stay in the country.

The top students in my undergraduate class are currently working in the United States, so it is often said that our school is the cradle of capitalist talent. ”

While packing, I accosted my husband. Thinking of returning to Huaqing Garden, Chen Lingxi always had an excitement in his heart.

"China's best talent has gone out, and it would be a great fortune if they could all stay in China or return to China for development. ”

Han Hao sighed when he heard this.

As the CEO of one of the most powerful R&D companies in China, he understands the importance of talents, especially the lack of academic leaders in basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and other fields.

China has always attached great importance to applied science, because it is immediate and ready to use. On the contrary, there is not enough attention paid to basic science, because huge investments may not see output for many years.

Applied sciences such as computer engineering and mechanical engineering would not have been born without the progress of physics, chemistry and mathematics.

The reason why major innovations always come from the United States is that their basic research has always been among the top in the world, attracting a steady stream of first-class talents from all over the world.

"It looks like we're going to have to start making up classes and pay for it. ”

Looking at himself in the mirror, Han Hao replied solemnly.

Centennial celebration, full of guests!

Among them, the most well-known alumni is none other than Han Hao, if you randomly pull someone on campus and ask who the current principal is, the other party may not be able to answer. But when asked about Han Hao's name, he basically knew the existence of the richest man in China.

However, Han Hao does not dare to be proud, you must know that there are many well-known Huaqing University alumni such as central leaders, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, well-known professors, and literary and artistic celebrities.

In fact, he prefers to return to the university as an ordinary alumnus to see the classrooms he or his wife once attended, the dormitories they lived in, and the dining halls they ate. I met my classmates who studied together and visited the teachers who taught me.

But his status dictates that such an idea is just a fantasy on the day of the school anniversary, and Huaqing University arranged a speech for him, and also held a foundation donation ceremony.

When he was first publicly with his wife Chen Lingxi, Han Hao donated 100 million yuan to his alma mater to support the poor college students of the school. The fund is still in operation today, and 400 university students benefit from funding each year.

In celebration of its centennial, Huaqing University welcomed alumni from all over the world and naturally held a variety of activities. Groups are divided into groups at the school level, college level, department level and even class level, and organize activities on their own in a unified and decentralized manner.

However, in order to receive Han Hao and his wife, Huaqing University specially sent a vice president to accompany him, showing that his status is indeed unusual.

"Principal Gu can't get away now, but he has already entrusted me to say hello to you. Thank you both for your continued interest in the development of your alma mater. ”

Vice President Zheng, who accompanied him full-time, took the initiative to explain after greeting Han Hao and his wife.

According to the previous communication, Han Hao, the richest man, will donate 100 million yuan to Huaqing University again today to reward outstanding young teachers of his alma mater, and will also donate a library worth 80 million yuan to the School of Economics and Management.

"Thank you President Gu and other leaders for their care. We are ordinary alumni of Huaqing University today, and we don't need to engage in special treatment.

In addition, in terms of donations, you may need to communicate with your alma mater. ”

Han Hao's words made Vice President Zheng, who was in charge of the reception, a little stunned, and he wondered if the richest man should reduce the amount of donations.

Regarding the recent situation of the China Group, he probably knows that the other party is investing abroad on a large scale, and maybe the capital chain has tightened somewhat. The vice president has also seen many wealthy people, although they claim to be worth a lot, but it is very difficult to really come up with a large amount of money at a moment.

Looking for a free time, Han Hao deliberately pulled Vice President Zheng aside to explain the matter.

"I plan to set up a basic science research fund at my alma mater to support basic science research and fund the development of some unpopular projects. In the future, it will be better to cooperate with schools and enterprises, and we can only hope to make Huaqing University reach a higher level in the field of basic research.

As for the number of years, I personally think that at least 10 years is the best, otherwise it will be unrealistic to ask for results for a while. In terms of the amount, our husband and wife discussed that 200 million yuan per year should be affordable, and it is calculated as a total of 2 billion yuan in 10 years. ”

To put it mildly, it is a big sum of 2 billion, which is a rain from heaven for Huaqing University!

You must know that on the occasion of the centennial celebration, alumni have donated generously, and the cumulative amount of alumni donations received by Huaqing University over the years has not exceeded 2 billion.

As soon as the richest man Han Hao made a move, it was equivalent to the total donation of all alumni over the years.

"Oh -

This matter is too important, I have to report to Principal Gu quickly and then give you an answer. ”

His own pattern is still too low, I thought that the other party would reduce the amount, but I didn't expect Han Shoufu to smash himself again with a big amount of money.

I almost didn't react, but then I came back to my senses and quickly reported such a big thing to the leader.

Vice President Zheng himself is a basic physics student, so he naturally understands what the 2 billion yuan means to basic science workers, and at least ensures that they can research with peace of mind without worrying too much about external affairs.

To say that the most enviable institution in Huaqing University is the School of Economics and Management, which has popular majors such as business administration, finance, and accounting, and holds various training courses such as MBA and EMBA every year to attract all kinds of business elites and collect a lot of tuition. The college's buildings are also the newest and most splendid presence in the whole school, all of which provide insight into the essence of wealth.

In contrast, the building of the School of Physics is much more cold. Every year, when recruiting students, top students flock to popular subjects such as the School of Economics and Management and the School of Computer Science, and those who apply for physics are like true love.

Therefore, Han Haoneng's donation to disciplines outside the School of Economics and Management, especially many basic disciplines that sit on the cold bench, makes Vice President Zheng sincerely respect.

As soon as 4 trillion yuan came out, the domestic economy once again hit the chicken, and the wages and incomes of ordinary people rose by a large margin, which naturally led to the rise of the wealth of the entire society.

Among them, it is inseparable from the inflationary impact of currency over-issuance, housing prices are rising, and residents' net worth is also rising. China's wealthy class has exploded again, and a net worth of 100 million yuan can already be included in the rich list, but now the entire threshold has been raised by 1 billion yuan.

The richest man in South Korea, whose main assets are calculated in RMB, took advantage of this wave of east wind to increase his net worth by a large amount.

Compared with last year, Han Hao found that he was richer, and a huge amount of money like 2 billion could be easily raised.

"What, you say it again!"

President Gu, who was accompanying the head of the central government on a tour of the campus, was also surprised to hear the news of the 2 billion donation, and inevitably had to verify it again.

"Yes, of course, right away. You stabilize the richest man in Han first, and I'll find a time to go over and talk about it later. You should keep this news secret first, and then make it public after I am present to confirm it. ”

Managing the school is to manage people and money, and now a large amount of money is actively sent to the door, especially to solve the big problems of Huaqing University, of course, President Gu has to deal with it personally.

"When I deceived the richest man Han into studying in Huaqingyuan, it was really a wonderful operation to open the door. ”

Principal Gu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when his predecessors planted trees, he picked up big fruits to eat.

After hanging up the phone after the report, Vice President Zheng's attitude towards Han Hao was really cordial from the heart, and 2 billion yuan was probably the largest donation in the history of a Chinese university.

Knowing that the president of Huaqing University was going to come over in person, Han Hao was a little embarrassed, and he and his wife were indeed in a hurry to make additional donations.

He hopes to leverage the strength of China's top engineering universities to help Zhonghua Group win in the frontier areas of future competition. Spending 2 billion now will definitely bring back a return of 2 billion several times.

Even if it is lost, it is to cultivate talents for the national tuition.

There is more and more money, and how to spend it is more meaningful has become a major concern for Han Hao.

About 30 minutes later, when Han Hao and his wife were having a discussion with the teachers who had taken classes, President Gu, a family member of Huaqing University, rushed to the venue out of breath.

He only has 10 minutes to spare, and he has to rush back immediately after solving this problem.

The headmaster's sudden appearance came as a surprise to everyone present, as he would not be present during the scheduled schedule. Compared to receiving the head of the Central Committee, Han Hao's weight was not enough to make the principal pant and run over.

Motioning for everyone to continue, Principal Gu beckoned Han Hao to the corner and asked for the details of the 2 billion donation. You must know that this is not a small number, and once the news is announced, the influence will be spread all over the world. If there is an oolong at that time, it will be a big joke at Huaqing University.

Han Hao only repeated what he had just said again, saying that in order to thank his alma mater for his cultivation, he and Chen Lingxi deliberately took out 2 billion funds from the joint property of the husband and wife for basic scientific research.

"On behalf of Huaqing University, I would like to sincerely thank you for setting a very good example for the alumni. With your money, to be honest, my life is much better as a patriarch. ”

Holding Han Hao's hand tightly, Principal Gu sighed excitedly.

Now that the facts have been confirmed, things will be easy to handle, and Principal Gu walked to the center of the venue while the iron was hot.

"Comrades, I have just confirmed the great news that Han Hao and Chen Lingxi will jointly donate 2 billion yuan to Huaqing University for research in the field of basic sciences in the next ten years. ”

As soon as this news was announced, it stunned everyone at the scene like a bomb, and everyone forgot to applaud for a while. For those of you who have been dealing with research funding for many years, you certainly understand the significance of this money.

"A 100-year plan, education-oriented.

On behalf of Huaqing University, I would like to bow and thank the two enthusiastic alumni who love their alma mater!"

The principal was directly ready to bow and thank Han Hao and his wife.

"It's so seriousβ€”"

Han Hao didn't dare to accept this gift, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Principal Gu.

At this time, the scene burst into warm applause.

"Compared to all the gardeners in the room, my slightly faster tree just did what it was supposed to do.

If we really want to thank the country and the times, we have to thank the country and the times for giving us such a good development platform to realize our dreams. ”

It can be said that most of the people on the scene are their own teachers, and Han Hao does not dare to be arrogant. Compared to the gardeners who have selflessly contributed to cultivating the next generation of talents for China, he has only done a small thing with his hands.
