The college entrance examination is imminent, in addition to the increase in competition among major schools, there is also a feature, that is, the number of meetings has begun to increase.

Meetings within the Ministry of Education, regional conferences, inter-school exchange meetings......

Whenever this happens, Lao Bai is a little sullen.

Because at this time of year, the world university rankings also come down, and the topics of discussion are not separated from this ranking in three sentences.

"Lao Gao, you have a good ranking this year, you have risen two places!"

"Oh, no, no, no, the comprehensive strength has risen, but the academic level has declined, and you still have to work hard, but Lao Chen, you, the upward momentum is very strong!"

"Where, where, after the award, we have a few projects that have achieved results, and this is not a fluke to rise a few places...... On Lao Li's side, international cooperation has added a lot of points, although the ranking has not risen, but it has gained a lot of benefits! I'm afraid that next year will rise like a rocket......

At this time, Lao Bai sat silently in the corner and silently recited the ancestral three-character scripture: "Ma Gobi!"

Internationally, there are four major rankings in the education sector, including the Times Higher Education Rankings, QS Rankings, Shanghai Jiaotong University ARWU Rankings, and USNEWS Global University Rankings.

The four major lists all have rankings of comprehensive strength, scientific research strength, and professional strength.

In fact, the QS ranking is the most unreliable one among the four lists, pursuing the effect of not being amazing, and the more emphasis is not on academics, but on employment.

On the contrary, the Chinese people believe that the list is formulated by the Chinese themselves, and the most unreliable Shanghai Jiaotong University ARWU ranking is the best, most authoritative, most objective, and most internationally influential ranking among the four major lists.

Because of the different emphases and evaluation systems, the four major lists are different every year, and each school often chooses the one with the best results as the ranking to be announced.

If test scores mean everything to students, for most schools, rankings basically mean everything.

Especially in the domestic atmosphere where rankings are very important, and they like to rank and compete for high and low.

After the four rankings were announced one after another, Lao Bai put on reading glasses, starting from the first one in terms of comprehensive strength, and counted them one by one.

Counting and counting, Lao Bai's heart sank to the bottom.

As before, Qingyang University can't squeeze into the rankings of the four major rankings at all, even if it is relaxed to the top500.

Because in the academic ranking of a completely academic-focused list like Shanghai Jiaotong University ARWU, schools like Beijing University can only rank about 250!

Sometimes I have to wonder why there are so many universities in the world, and why are every university so good?

In China, there are countless rankings that are not authoritative at all, all kinds of head-patting and interest-related rankings, which belong to the rankings of their own entertainment behind closed doors.

But there are no four rankings, so you can only find a sense of existence from these rankings, after the release of these lists, Lao Bai rummaged through the cabinets to find reading glasses, but no matter which ranking, Qingyang University can not enter the top 5 of Chinese universities, and even a few rankings, all ranked outside the top ten.

Lao Bai felt his heart thump......

Why shouldn't it be?

This year, Qingyang University can be said to have made a lot of achievements, why is there no ranking at all.

For several days in a row, Lao Bai was like a tropical storm and a cyclone with low pressure, and wherever he went, the air pressure dropped a few points.

Director Zhao, the deans of several faculties and others saw what he wanted to report several times, and when they saw his long face that could scare the British actor Juan Fu to death, they all silently dodged away.

For this reason, Director Zhao helped Lao Bai shirk several meetings, but a principal-level meeting in the ministry really couldn't shirk it, no matter how bad he was, Lao Bai had to attend.

After thinking about it, Lao Bai couldn't just slip away like this, so he had to find some fig leaf.

Others left Thames, right QS, Shanghai Jiaotong University in the waist, usnews in the back, can be said to be armed to the teeth.

He has nothing, not a single cloth, and he goes to a meeting, and he still doesn't make people laugh to death?

So Lao Bai called Nanming: "Nanming, I heard that Beijing University has a huge overseas donation, and now it's hot." ”

Nanming's seven-trick exquisite heart, that is the meaning of hearing the string song, and he immediately understood, Lao Bai was asking him: "Nanming, when will the donation promised to me be in place." ”

"Don't worry, you're indispensable. "This money is still overseas, and it will take some process to transfer it from the United States." ”

$127 million, but it's not just a turnaround.

And this money is the income of the American Redface company, and there are more processes in the middle to transfer the American money to the country, not to mention the huge taxes in the middle.

So Nanming is considering using another way.

"I'm going to set up a charitable foundation in the United States, and this money will be the first money for the foundation, so that I can avoid high taxes, and then find a way to transfer it back home, and you have to wait. "Nan Ming Dao.

Lao Bai's eyes widened: "So troublesome? Can't you hurry?"

Your old man, I, I'm going to go to a meeting naked today, don't you give me some talismans?

"Hurry up, it's done, probably tens of millions of dollars in taxes will be deducted, anyway, this money belongs to Qingyang University, if you are willing to lose tens of millions of dollars, I can also transfer this money to China as soon as possible." "Nan Ming Dao.

"Don't! Don't!" When Lao Bai heard this, he immediately stopped worrying.

For tens of millions, let alone wait for a few days, even if it is a few years, you can afford to wait!

"You just try to hurry up......" Lao Bai said.

Yes, for the sake of tens of millions of benefits, this kind of thing is to lose face...... Just throw it away.

There are many more important things than losing face.

What if everything I did before was useless?

What if after so much publicity, in the end it is just a good reception?

Moreover, Lao Bai also knew intellectually that the changes in Qingyang University had only been more than half a year, so how could they have seen immediate results so quickly.

At least after the improvement of the new class of students, we can see significant changes.

After "how·we.do", the prestige of Qingyang University has increased dramatically, but there is no way to confirm how much effect it will have.

Everything will not be known until after the college entrance examination and after the candidates fill in the volunteers.

Lao Bai took the high-speed train to the capital, brought a peaked cap to cover his ugliness, hurriedly entered the venue with his head down, found a corner and sat down.

When he came in, he saw Sheng Bowen, vice president of Beijing University, who was probably coming to attend the meeting on behalf of the president of Beijing University, and he was talking about his recent high donation: "More than 10 million US dollars, this is the largest overseas donation received in the past two years, and it is almost 100 million yuan, which is a major event that can be recorded in the history of education......

Lao Bai pouted, more than 10 million dollars, what are you talking about? Pretend to be forced on a trivial matter, and wait for my brother and me to get more than 100 million, and I will scare you to death!

As soon as he sat down, an acquaintance of the principal came over and said, "Principal Bai, this ranking is a bit of a pity." ”

"Alas......" Lao Bai sighed, and said in his heart: "What should come is still coming, why don't you kid open which pot to mention?"

He forced a smile and said: "Alas, yes, I know now, Qingyang University is still too far from a world-class university, whether it is hardware or software, it is too bad, and I have to continue to work hard......

"Huh?" The headmaster was stunned for a moment, turned around and left, and said in his heart as he walked: "Hmph, pretend to be forced on a little thing, what are you pretending to be?"

"What's going on?" Old Bai glared, as if something was wrong? )
