Bao Feiyang nodded, unlike application-oriented disciplines, the construction cost of basic disciplines is high, the benefits are small, and there are many difficulties, and even the difficulty of enrollment is relatively large, not to mention the high tuition fees.

Bao Feiyang said: "We plan to adopt the model of government, enterprise and university cooperation project, the government, Huixun District will give full support, and we will also strive for the support of the Pingjing government and the Pujiang municipal government, and in terms of enterprises, Fangxia Group will be deeply involved in the investment and construction of the school, and if possible, we will also introduce other enterprises; ”

"The cooperative education project of Huixun University Town can be divided into several levels, the first level is the level of the university town, the construction of the university town is led by the government, and enterprises and universities can participate. My idea is to set aside enough land for the university town, and at the same time ensure that university education and academic development are the main focus in the core area, and that there is no interference from the commercial factor, even if there is ...... It is also necessary to reflect the style of the academic school, and we want to build a university town, not a science and technology park. ”

Li Weizhong looked at Bao Feiyang with some doubts: "Universities naturally attach importance to academics, but the combination of university towns and science and technology parks is also relatively successful abroad, such as Silicon Valley in the United States. ”

Bao Feiyang smiled helplessly, the combination of the university and the science and technology industrial park, and the innovation industrial park is naturally very good. However, in China, such a good model can easily be distorted and become dominated by the science and technology industry, and university professors are mainly engaged in industry, so how can we ensure the quality of teaching and academic standards? The reason for the success of Silicon Valley is due to the atmosphere of free innovation, but in the final analysis, it is the strength of Stanford University and the University of California.

Of course, Bao Feiyang does not exclude the combination of production, education and research, but the university town itself still has to do a good job in learning and research, do a solid job, and then do things in the industry.

Bao Feiyang nodded and said: "The location of Huixun University Town is adjacent to Chunjiang High-tech Park, and the park already has electronics, biology, and pharmaceutical companies such as Intel, Lenovo, DuPont, and Honeywell, and the foundation for industry-university cooperation still exists. ”

Bao Feiyang said: "At the level of the university town, the government will take a long-term view of the planning and construction, and within three to five years, it will begin to take shape, and in the future, we hope that the university town can achieve more self-management and let the university participate in the management of the university town." We also hope to introduce some advanced management methods from Xingang and Europe and the United States, such as the management and use of libraries, gymnasiums, cultural and artistic facilities, laboratories and research institutes in university towns......"

"The second level is the university level, starting from this year, mainland universities have entered the expansion cycle, domestic higher education will have an explosive growth, many universities in Pujiang original campuses and facilities have not been able to meet the teaching needs after the expansion, although some colleges and universities will achieve the purpose of expansion through merger, but there is still no way to completely solve the problem, so many colleges and universities have the need to build new campuses, the future Huixun University Town will strive to introduce several universities to build new campuses in the university town......

Bao Feiyang said: "For Xingang University of Science and Technology, although the school-running philosophy based on Xingang is enough to make Xingang University of Science and Technology a first-class university in Asia, it is not enough for Xingang University of Science and Technology to become a great university. ”

"In terms of basic disciplines, the basic conditions of the mainland will be better in the future, and even if Xingang University of Science and Technology is based on application-oriented majors, the mainland can also provide a broader application field. Coming to the mainland to establish a branch campus is beneficial to Xingang University of Science and Technology to expand its scale and academic influence and influence. ”

Bao Feiyang smiled and said: "Of course, we also hope that the participation of Xingang University of Science and Technology can bring us an international educational concept and vision, help us do a good job in the construction of the university town, and build a benchmark model university in Huixun University Town." ”

"As for the university level, it must be managed by the university itself, and the government will not interfere. At present, institutions and individuals from outside the mainland must cooperate in the way of cooperation to run schools in the mainland, but we can guarantee that we can give Xingang University of Science and Technology as much management autonomy as possible, and we also hope to introduce the international way of running a school in Xingang University of Science and Technology, even if the talent exchange and academic exchange between us and Europe and the United States are not as convenient as Xingang, we also hope to achieve such exchanges with Xingang universities. ”

Li Weizhong pondered for a moment, he could feel that Bao Feiyang did come with the sincerity of cooperation this time, and the commitment in all aspects was also in place, and the concept was more consistent with the purpose of Xingang University of Science and Technology and his own ideas.

"Mr. Bao, I can understand what you mean, if Xingang University of Science and Technology wants to run a school in the mainland, it needs to find a partner, and this is what we are more worried about. Because the management of Xingang University of Science and Technology is different from that of the mainland in many aspects, who is the main person in the day-to-day management? Also, the universities in the mainland all have party classes and party organizations, which are different from our schools!"

Bao Feiyang sighed for a while and said: "If the mainland campus of Xingang University of Science and Technology wants to build a prestigious school from a high starting point, not just an ordinary school, or a transit point for studying abroad, it is a better choice to cooperate with a strong university." As for the daily management, we can set up a school committee, composed of cooperative universities and investors, government representatives, teacher representatives and student representatives, in the composition of this school committee, we can fully follow the meaning of the Xingang University of Science and Technology, in addition, on some important issues, we can also give the president of the school a veto, and the president's candidate, we hope to be selected by you or Xingang University of Science and Technology, of course, we can talk about some specific details, but the general framework is like this!"

Li Weizhong nodded with satisfaction: "What about the problem of enrollment? As far as I know, the mainland college entrance examination implements a unified examination, and enrollment is carried out in batches, and if you are not able to enter one batch of enrollment, it will be difficult to recruit outstanding students!"

Bao Feiyang said: "This is not a problem, as long as the cooperative university runs the school from a high starting point, I want to get the support of Pingjing, so that the school can win the first batch of undergraduate enrollment is not a big problem." With the reputation of Xingang University of Science and Technology, it should not be a problem for the school to recruit excellent students. However, the income level in the mainland is still relatively low, and if we simply want to recruit high-quality students, then the tuition fee cannot be set out of the level of ordinary schools. ”

"Of course, the third level of the cooperation method, that is, the college level, Xingang University of Science and Technology can jointly set up some application-oriented colleges, such as more business schools, MBA colleges, electronic information schools, or some colleges for students who want to study abroad, using a similar 2+2 academic system, two years to study in the mainland, two years to study in Xingang, the tuition fees of these colleges can be set a little higher, but ordinary majors still have to be charged according to the normal tuition fees!"

Bao Feiyang said: "Now some cooperation projects do have relatively high fees, in this case, although they can also recruit some high-quality students, but most students will give up filling in these schools when they see this situation, after all, the tuition fee of ordinary universities is only three or four thousand a year, but the joint school costs twenty or thirty thousand, or even more, for most mainland families, this is unbearable, they are more likely to choose well-known universities in the mainland, which is not conducive to the school to attract the best quality students." ”

"So I hope that the school can be co-founded with enterprises, in fact, in addition to government funding, the school can also get financial support from enterprises, and if possible, the school can also raise funds in various ways, without the need to support the school through the tuition fees of ordinary students. ”

Li Weizhong pondered for a while and said: "When we inspected the current situation of higher education in the mainland, we also found that this should be a better idea for running a school. But the problem is that as a cooperative education project, we may not be able to obtain sufficient government funding, and if we want to get support similar to that received by mainland universities, we will probably have to pay more in terms of autonomy in running schools, which we do not want to see. As for cooperating with enterprises, corporate sponsorship can certainly solve some of the financial needs, but to run a successful university, it requires not a little bit of funding, but a continuous and large amount of investment, and I am not sure if the support of Fangxia Group and other enterprises can do this, and even if they can do it, what ...... do they need to get."

Bao Feiyang nodded and said: "At present, the funding of mainland universities mainly comes from government funding and student tuition, of course, student tuition cannot meet the needs of teaching, and as for scientific research funds, these tuition fees cannot be counted on. I think we have no problem getting financial support from ordinary undergraduate schools, but at the same time we have to ensure that the same or even more funding is available. ”

Bao Feiyang said: "The economic strength of Huixun District is limited, and the financial support that can be provided to the school is limited for the time being, but I can also guarantee that it can match the financial support of the higher level government, but it is not limited to the way of funding, that is to say, the district can be supported by some services, resources and funds, which is not less than the investment of the higher government to the school." ”

"In addition, Fangxia Group can also guarantee the corresponding investment, plus donations to enterprises and individuals, I think the daily school funds can be guaranteed!"
