Bao Feiyang said: "Tongqi University's mechanical discipline focuses on automobiles, and there is a lot of cooperation with Volkswagen, and we also have a lot of cooperation with Pujiang Volkswagen in Huixun District. For example, ThyssenKrupp's automotive steel plate project, in addition, Xinpu Special Steel, a joint venture between Xinpu Steel, ThyssenKrupp and Fangxia New Materials, will also cooperate with Pujiang Volkswagen's automotive special steel materials, and Fangxia New Materials will also develop some new automotive materials......"

"Of course, Tianjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone focuses on the material industry, but the adjacent Yinqiao Development Zone has a strong machinery industry, and the joint venture project between Pudong Automobile Group and General Motors is in the Yinqiao Development Zone, Yinqiao Development Zone and Gaoqiao Development Zone have a large number of auto parts manufacturers, and the whole industry is no worse than Pubei! Among them, the number of high-tech enterprises is more, if Tongqi University can get new development in Chundong on the basis of cooperation with Pujiang Volkswagen, then the mechanical discipline of Tongqi University is also expected to become the strongest in China!"

For engineering, partnerships with companies are very important. The most enviable thing about engineering universities is that they can obtain a steady stream of research funding through cooperation with enterprises. Usually this kind of cooperation is that the enterprise invests money, the university sends people, and finally the enterprise obtains the patent rights and economic benefits of scientific research results, while the university obtains part of the economic and academic benefits.

Through cooperation with companies, students in engineering colleges can also get more internship opportunities, which is good for their growth and future job search.

The development potential and value of Chundong New Area are naturally immeasurable, even if it is Huixun District, the development since this year is enough to make people look sideways. Qi Tianhai, vice president of Tongqi University, also attended the meeting, the construction of the institute and Huixun District cooperation is very much, Bao Feiyang, the young mayor of the district, attaches great importance to urban construction and industrial development planning in this era, and his planning concept and Qi Tianhai and others who built the institute are also particularly in tune, the establishment of the institute now has a considerable number of teachers and students often do projects in Huixun District, in the words of Qi Tianhai, the construction of the institute has at least one-third of the strength concentrated in Huixun, which is almost half of the construction of the institute moved over. If Tongqi University really wants to build a new campus in Huixun District, it will definitely be the first to raise its hand in favor.

The strength of the establishment of Tongqi University is basically recognized as the strongest in China, although the establishment of Shuimu is also very strong, but there are too many strong disciplines in Shuimu, and the attention to the establishment of the institute is far less than that of Qi, and the investment is not as good as that of Qi, and there is a faint tendency to be overwhelmed by the Tongqi Institute.

The mechanical discipline of Tongqi University has more cooperation with Pubei Automobile Volkswagen, but this cooperation is relatively mature, and even if it continues to improve in the future, the space is very limited. In contrast, Chundong New Area has become the second place in Pujiang City, where the automobile industry gathers, and if the mechanical discipline of Tongqi University can also increase cooperation with General Motors, relying on the two major automobile production bases, Tongqi University is also expected to make the automotive machinery discipline the strongest in the country.

In addition, the Tianjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone in Huixun District is also focusing on the development of metal materials and new materials industry, and the materials discipline of Tongqi University is much worse than the mechanical discipline and the establishment of the institute, if it can rely on the material industry of Tianjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone, the material discipline of Tongqi University is also expected to rapidly improve its strength.

There is also the World Exhibition that Huixun District will report, as well as the plan to focus on the development of the exhibition economy, which is also very much in line with the development of the design discipline of Tongqi University, which has certain advantages.

In fact, if you really take stock, if you can count the two administrative districts of Chundong New Area and Huixun as one area, then as Bao Feiyang said, Chundong New Area is a hot land for construction and development, and a blank paper to be developed, which is indeed very suitable for Tongqi University to describe, at least most of the majors of Tongqi University can find a good soil for development here.

"I still have a few questions to ask the head of the district......

Jiang Kaitai pondered for a while and said: "First of all, will the university town of Huixun District invite Aurora and Pujiang Jiaotong University to settle in? Which other schools are expected to be stationed, and how will the competition between colleges and universities in the university town be coordinated?"

For the young Bao Feiyang, Jiang Kaitai does not have any contempt, even if his level is higher than Bao Feiyang, if he wants to serve in the government, Jiang Kaitai is at least the vice province and vice minister, but he still attaches great importance to Bao Feiyang.

He also had a general understanding of the cooperation between the establishment of Qi University and Huixun District, and learned from Qi Tianhai that Bao Feiyang was not the kind of traditional bureaucrat who was young and ambitious, and simply relied on the strength behind him to climb up, Bao Feiyang's vision is very broad, long-term, and the key is that it is very solid, even if the goals he put forward seem to be a little out of reality, but he never engages in those fancy things that only shout slogans, but will be implemented seriously and hard. The goals he put forward seem to be ambitious, but they all have good reasons and respect for the opinions of experts, and he does not treat experts as rubber stamps, but only asks experts to find arguments that are useful to him.

In addition, after Bao Feiyang took office, Huixun District showed a fierce development momentum, even surpassing that of Chundong New District. Although the construction scale of the Chundong New Area is large, the prospects of the Tianjiang Economic and Technological Development Zone will not be much worse than that of Yinqiao. Bao Feiyang's ability and role have also been fully proven.

Jiang Kaitai is still quite satisfied with the development environment of Huixun District, and it is precisely because he feels that the environment of Huixun District is good, and Bao Feiyang can also toss, so he is worried that Bao Feiyang will pull Aurora and Pujiang Jiaotong University to Huixun University Town.

Bao Feiyang said: "On the Pujiang Jiaotong University side, we also contacted it, but did not continue to talk, for Pujiang Jiaotong University, their best choice should be to continue to expand the Binjiang campus, I think they will do the same, so there is no need to bring them over." ”

"On the Aurora side of Aurora University, they are more inclined to Xinwan Town, and their advantage is liberal arts, which is not very consistent with our plan to focus on the development of engineering. Of course, Aurora's engineering is not not strong, and we are also trying to get Aurora's engineering department over and let them build an engineering college in Huixun University Town. ”

"In addition, the schools we plan to fight for include Pujiang Ocean University, which will be built separately in the Lingang area of Jianghaizui, and there will also be a vocational education park there. In addition, it also includes Pujiang Institute of Technology, which focuses on the construction of synthetic materials and chemical engineering, and Oriental Normal University, which focuses on the construction of normal majors, so as to promote the development of education in Huixun District......"

Bao Feiyang did not hide it, and directly put out the development plan of Huixun University Town, which is not seen in the construction plan of the university town.

"In addition, another key project of the University Town is to cooperate with the Xingang University of Science and Technology to build the Pujiang College of Xingang University of Science and Technology, and we hope to introduce the resources, experience and model of the University of Science and Technology to build an international Pujiang College of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Huixun University Town, and hope to promote the internationalization of teaching and scientific research in the entire University Town. ”

Bao Feiyang said: "Unlike the current Sino-foreign cooperative education projects, HKUST Pujiang College will be localized, and will be on par with mainland universities in terms of enrollment and fee standards, and will not implement elite education. ”

Jiang Kaitai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise: "Huixun District has reached a cooperation agreement with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology?"

Bao Feiyang shook his head: " The formal agreement has not yet been signed, but this time I talked very deeply with President Li Weizhong of the University of Science and Technology in Xingang on the cooperation in running the school, and reached an agreement in principle, because there are still many things to be solved in China, so we can only prepare the plan while reporting the plan, in addition, in Xingang when I also reported to the deputy director of the Xingang Office Liang in this regard, Deputy Director Liang is very supportive, two days ago Deputy Director Liang called me from Pingjing, saying that he has reported to the leadership of Pingjing, Pingjing is also very supportive, and now wait for the city to officially approve the project。 ”

Jiang Kaitai couldn't help but nodded, Xingang's special status determines that HKUST will definitely get special treatment when it comes to the mainland to run a school, and all parties will give the green light to this project without violating the principles, so if the situation is really as Bao Feiyang said, then this project of HKUST will definitely be implemented. As for whether it can live up to Bao Feiyang's expectations and make the Pujiang Campus of HKUST reach the level of the Xingang headquarters, it is still difficult to say.

Jiang Kaitai said: "Although HKUST has not been established for a long time, HKUST has a high degree of internationalization, and its scientific research and teaching strength is very strong. However, in order for HKUST to become a mass university, the most fundamental problem is the source of funding for the school. According to the current fee standard of universities, the tuition fees charged to students can only solve about 30% of the operating costs of universities, even if scientific research investment is not considered, HKUST has to solve the annual funding gap of hundreds of millions of yuan.

Bao Feiyang smiled and shook his head: "Huixun District finance does not have that strength now, the early construction funds of Pujiang College of HKUST will be solved through fundraising, HKUST has not been established for a long time, and there are not many alumni, but there are many rich people in Xingang, and HKUST is of great significance as a branch of Xingang University in the mainland, and the feedback from Xingang is still very positive." ”

"In addition, the construction of HKUST itself has a lot to do with overseas Chinese, and this time this network will also play a role, and we have already contacted some overseas Chinese consortiums, and the feedback is relatively optimistic......

"To put it simply, we will build the HKUST Pujiang Campus as a benchmark to solicit more donations, and also work with companies to solve the problem of early teaching and research funding," Bao said. ”
