Tan Jirong nodded and said: "China's higher education, as a whole, and the international advanced level of the gap is still relatively large, through internationalization, the introduction of experts and scholars with international prestige to join, it will indeed help to improve our academic level and teaching strength in a short period of time, and the international teaching mode and school atmosphere can also cultivate students with international vision and international ability......

Tan Jirong said, "The introduction of HKUST Pujiang College is a key part of the internationalization of Huixun University Town. However, there are requirements for the management of university students in China, and the HKUST system cannot be completely copied to the mainland, and the same is true for Huixun University Town......"

"There are some things that we can study and import, but there are some things that we still have to adhere to, such as ideological and political education and study ......."

Bao Feiyang nodded hurriedly and said: "Of course, whether it is HKUST or other universities in the university town, ideological and political courses are compulsory courses, and the organizational work will also go deep into each department, which is not in conflict with the internationalization of academics." ”

There will certainly be conflicts, and some scholars and professors with relatively clear ideological and political positions may be excluded from working in universities in the mainland because of this. However, for most scholars, they are more interested in the conditions and environment for academic research, and in this regard, the mainland has little advantage, but Bao Feiyang hopes that university towns can create such conditions.

Tan Jirong said: "The construction of a university town, whether it is internationalization or improving the level of scientific research and academics, requires a lot of investment. The planning of Huixun University Town is very comprehensive and all aspects are carefully considered, but how to build a world-class university with limited resources is a difficult problem. Because the construction and growth of the university not only needs funds, but also people and time, so I hope that Huixun University Town will not be in a hurry, and it will have the sight of cultivating people for a hundred years and building a century-old famous school, and will not require a big and complete ......."

Tan Jirong stretched out her finger and knocked on the thick plan: "Your plan, what satisfies me the most is not internationalization, but your focus on professional planning is more prominent, and you don't seek perfection, but I still hope that you can focus a little more, focusing may make you lose some opportunities, but it is also more likely to climb the peak." ”

Bao Feiyang nodded: "Mayor Tan is right, in the discipline construction, we have communicated with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Tongqi University and Polytechnic University, and basically will give different support to different disciplines, among which the microelectronics major of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the civil engineering and mechanical engineering of Tongqi University, and the materials discipline of the University of Science and Technology will be the top priority and the first echelon." For example, HKUST also has strong strength in engineering and materials, Tongqi University's microelectronics and materials majors are also good, and Polytechnic's mechanical majors also have certain strengths......"

Bao Feiyang said: "Focusing on these five key disciplines, the university town will promote the integration and cooperation of resources of various universities, such as the construction of materials research center, mechanical research institute, microelectronics research institute, etc., to establish a discipline highland." ”

"Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Tongqi University, Pujiang Institute of Technology, Ocean University, etc. are very good schools, the construction of the university town actually does not need to spend too much energy and resources in the district, the district hopes to focus on the construction of the university town on the construction of the discipline highland, Huixun Microelectronics Research Institute, Materials Research Institute, Machinery Research Institute should not only make good use of the research strength of the university town, but also strengthen cooperation with Pujiang Jiaotong University, Aurora University, and even other universities in China and international famous universities, to build a real discipline highland!"

Tan Jirong nodded, what satisfied her most about the Huixun plan was the emphasis on academics. In contrast, the plans of several other districts pay more attention to the impact of university towns on industry and the city, which is also the current orientation of economic construction.

There is no problem with this orientation itself, and the construction of university towns does need to take into account the development of society and cities, but the university itself is for education and research, and this fundamental point cannot be ignored.

In addition, there is a difference between the planning of Huixun University Town and other university towns, that is, Huixun University Town does not directly set aside a large area to build a university town, although several universities are still relatively concentrated, but within the scope of the university town, there are still planned residential, commercial, tourism, cultural and sports projects, and there are corresponding industrial land around.

Compared with other university town construction plans, Huixun University Town attaches great importance to the concept of community, in addition to the connection between university town and urban construction and industrial development, it also emphasizes the connection between university town and community.

This is also the lesson of later generations to summarize the construction of this wave of university towns, many university towns were built on the outskirts of the city, far away from the city center, and then several universities occupied a vast area, basically isolated from the world, which is not conducive to the educational growth of students and the understanding of society.

Tan Jirong did not officially express her position, and even gave a commendatory comment, but she was very careful about her inquiries about Huixun University Town, and she also said a lot of words of encouragement.

Such an important decision in the university town is not something that Tan Jirong, the non-vice mayor, can decide, and it must be discussed and decided by the Standing Committee. However, now that the trend of enrollment expansion is so obvious, the city will not let this issue delay for too long.

Leaving Tan Jirong's office, Bao Feiyang went directly to Jianguo Hotel to participate in the Pujiang International Shipping Center Construction Summit Forum.

"Pujiang Shipping, to the World" as the main theme of the Pujiang International Shipping Center Construction Summit Forum officially opened today, the forum lasted for two days, the morning is the registration and opening ceremony, Executive Vice Mayor Zhou Kunlin personally attended the speech.

When Bao Feiyang arrived, Zhou Kunlin's speech had ended, and a vice president of Maersk in the Asia-Pacific region was giving a keynote report on "Global Economy and World Trade and Shipping Development and Prospects".

Maersk is one of the world's largest shipping groups, with operations all over the world, and Maersk Asia-Pacific headquarters is located in Xincheng. Many multinational companies prefer to set up their Asia-Pacific headquarters in Xincheng or Xingang, and the environment of the free port is indeed very convenient.

The level of the report is very high, although it is not entirely correct in terms of the outlook for the future, especially the judgment of the future shipping demand of Huaxia, a major manufacturing country, can be said to be a serious underestimate.

However, in the eyes of today's people, Maersk is very optimistic about the economic development potential of China and the prospects of international freight logistics, and even overly optimistic.

After the end of the keynote speech, there were thematic discussions and questions, including domestic and foreign shipping giants such as Maersk and Huayuan, as well as senior executives of Pujiang Port and Xincheng Port to talk about the future of world shipping.

"The Asia-Pacific region has become the most dynamic region of the global economy, especially the development of manufacturing and export-oriented economic model, so that the international trade volume of the Asia-Pacific region has shown a substantial growth trend, and more than 90% of the international trade is completed by shipping, the cargo throughput of the Asia-Pacific ports has also grown rapidly over the years, and the proportion of cargo throughput of the ports in the entire Asia-Pacific region is also increasing......"

"Ports in the Asia-Pacific region account for the vast majority of the world's top ports in terms of throughput, and the region's cargo potential remains to be unleashed......"

"In today's economic globalization, the investment, production and business activities of multinational corporations are all over the world, and the world economy is interpenetrating and interdependent......

"The development of the new economy will have a profound impact on the future of logistics, and the new technological revolution will prompt countries to accelerate the adjustment of their own industrial structure. Both developed and developing countries will carry out industrial upgrading in their respective stages of development, and these factors will promote the development of trade commodity structure increasingly light and high value-added, and the adjustment of industrial structure has made the shipping volume per 100 million yuan of output value decline year by year......"

"With the increasing knowledge and informatization of trade goods, trade in services is developing at a faster rate, and its proportion in world trade is increasing, accounting for more than a quarter of the world's trade volume, and international investment in the service industry has accounted for 40 percent of the total international direct investment, which has led to the growth rate of the world's seaborne cargo volume is increasingly lower than the growth rate of trade volume, and is changing the structure of maritime cargo and port throughput......"

Looking at the heated discussion on the stage, Bao Feiyang gained a lot. The theme of this discussion is the development of the world economy and the development of international shipping, although Bao Feiyang is more clear about the future trend, but he is not an expert in this area after all, and some things only know a rough idea, after listening to the discussion of these professionals, some ideas gradually became clear.

For example, in the entire international trading system, the trade activities of small and medium-sized enterprises are important, but the influence of multinational corporations is very large, and the proportion is also very high. The establishment of good cooperative relations with multinational companies is also an extremely important strategy of major liner companies and major ports, and is the main target of shipping companies and ports.

In addition, in the era of integrated logistics, shipping companies not only operate traditional maritime transportation business, but also penetrate into transportation-related industries such as land transportation, port loading and unloading, warehousing, agency, loading and unpacking, etc., to provide satisfactory integrated logistics services for cargo owners.

Although it is not a long time, Bao Feiyang's harvest is very large, and there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment, he has studied some shipping and port information before, and now he is beginning to integrate it......
