Song Chaoyang said: "Then what did Xu Shenghua say?"

Meng Hongbin said angrily: "As a result, he disagreed! He said it nicely, since it is not possible to meet the promotion standards at this stage, and there is still a big gap from the relevant indicators, then give up the promotion work for the time being, and devote himself to the construction and development of the college." As soon as we heard this, there was some reason, so we decided to push the upgrading work back for the time being, and first develop our own foundation, and we still need to be hard to strike iron, don't we? But who knows, Dean Xu keeps saying that he has invested heavily in the construction and development of the college, but in the past four years, the college has hardly made any major investment in infrastructure, faculty, school scale, and discipline construction, and has not made any great progress. It was built and renovated, the pavement in the college was also built, and construction began almost every month, and a lot of expensive trees were purchased at a huge cost, saying that it was to build a garden-type college, and a lot of high-end office furniture and electrical appliances were also purchased, as well as cars. In short, a lot of money was spent, but not a penny was spent on the blade, all like a waste. ”

Song Chaoyang was furious when he heard this, if he hadn't taken into account the number of leading cadres sitting inside and outside the school sitting around him, he would have opened his mouth to scold the street.

Li Jing interjected: "Is this all done by Xu Shenghua?"

Meng Hongbin said: "Yes, except for him, no one else has this power." As the dean, he holds the power alone, has an arrogant temper, and does not take other leaders in his eyes, the school leadership team will completely become his hall, what he says is what he wants, he will do whatever he wants, no one can say half a word, it is useless to say, he will not listen. In the past four years, he has almost become the emperor of the academy, saying that he can do whatever he wants, and everyone is afraid of him. ”

Song Chaoyang said unhappily: "If he did this, didn't you team members persuade him? Even if the persuasion didn't work, did you try to report it to the higher authorities? Also, what did the discipline inspection department in the academy do? Are you blind?"

Meng Hongbin sighed bitterly: "I have persuaded him, but it is useless, and he has been scolded by him, who dares to persuade him again? Some people have reported his problems to the Municipal Education Bureau, but in the next day they will be retaliated again, who dares to report him again? There is a discipline inspection office in the college, but who dares to investigate the dean and secretary of the party committee?"

He only said that there was a discipline inspection office in the college, but he did not say that there was a secretary of the discipline inspection committee, not to mention that the secretary of the discipline inspection committee was still in the leadership team of the college, which can be said to have left a show of affection for the secretary of the discipline inspection committee.

Song Chaoyang was indignant, sighed secretly, and said, "Let's not mention this matter first, continue to talk about the issue of upgrading." Now that the college wants to upgrade to an undergraduate college, what are the problems?"

Meng Hongbin's expression became very sad, and he said sadly: "I'm not afraid that Secretary Song will be unhappy when I say it, it's not that there are any problems, it's that there are problems in the aspects I just said." Infrastructure, faculty, school scale, and discipline construction, these four main aspects, are also the four main indicators to be checked for upgrading, and we all have problems. In fact, if we really invested heavily in these four aspects in the first four years, even if we couldn't fully meet the upgrade standard, it wouldn't be much worse, but unfortunately, alas...... Pathetic!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and his expression was extremely desolate and sad, as if his child could no longer grow up because he had not been fed enough.

Song Chaoyang frowned and said, "Is the problem very big, is there a solution?" Meng Hongbin nodded heavily and said: "The problem is not very big, so there is still a solution." Song Chaoyang hurriedly asked: "How to solve it?" Meng Hongbin said: "One needs time, and the other needs investment." Song Chaoyang became excited when he heard this, and said, "You talk about it carefully." Meng Hongbin said: "First of all, it will take at least two years to complete all aspects of the construction work, and secondly, the city needs to increase investment in our college." If these two points can be met, it is still no problem to meet the upgrade standard. We are confident that we will meet the basic standards required for upgrading before the arrival of the next year, and strive to enter the list of colleges and universities inspected by the Ministry of Education for upgrading in the third year. After speaking, he looked at the other team members and said, "What do the leaders think?"

Since Xu Shenghua was put out, there is less huge pressure from the top leader of the college, these team members want to speak in front of Song Chaoyang and other city leaders, perform appropriately, and leave a good impression on the city leaders, maybe they can be promoted to the dean in the future, but unfortunately Song Chaoyang's attention has always been on Meng Hongbin, there is no opportunity for them to speak, and they are all very anxious. Now seeing that Meng Hongbin has given himself and others the opportunity to speak, while admiring him in his heart for being a man, he has also begun to speak in a hurry.

The situation expressed by these four people is basically similar to Meng Hongbin's opinion, on the one hand, they are asking for investment from the city, and on the other hand, they need time to complete the construction and development.

Song Chaoyang was disappointed after hearing this, just asking for investment is not a problem, but the development time of the past two years is too long, he presided over the "five one project" and thought that it can be started this year, partially completed, and all completed and put into use next year, if you really wait for two years, the daylily will be cold, and your so-called "five one project" Even with himself, he will become the laughing stock of outsiders, but then again, big projects are not afraid of long time, the Great Wall has been built for hundreds of thousands of years, and the moon landing project has also taken decades.

He pondered for a moment and patiently asked Meng Hongbin: "It's okay to increase investment, but you have to let me know what else needs to be invested, and how much." ”

Meng Hongbin said without thinking: "First of all, infrastructure, the city will grant us another 200 acres of land for our school to build new teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, Libraries and other necessary venues should meet the basic conditions of the overall campus area of 500 mu and a construction area of more than 120,000 square meters; secondly, the scale of running the school, the Municipal Education Bureau should allow us to expand the number of full-time students, so that we can increase the number of full-time students to 5,000, preferably 8,000; there is also the construction of the teaching team, and we must hire a batch of professors and lecturers; in terms of discipline construction, we must establish at least one key discipline, both of which require a large amount of investment. ”

Song Chaoyang asked, "Can you estimate a number?"

Meng Hongbin thought for a while and said: "With the current conditions, excluding the new 200 acres of land, if you want to meet the upgrade standard, you need to invest at least 100 million." ”

Song Chaoyang was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "What?

Meng Hongbin said innocently: "Is it too much? Not much, at present, many universities have to budget tens of millions of dollars every year for scientific research alone, 40 or 50 million yuan for building a teaching building, and 100 million or even several billion yuan for the development of a new campus. Compared to them, 100 million is just a small amount. ”

"A small amount?"

Song Chaoyang smiled bitterly, maybe 100 million is a small amount for the construction of an undergraduate college, but for himself, the secretary of the municipal party committee, it is an out-and-out large amount, where can he get this 100 million? Even if he convinces the mayor Yu Heping to support this matter, the city finance department will definitely not be able to come up with so much, turned his eyes to Sang Tongguang, and asked: "Director Sang, how much can the Municipal Education Bureau come up with?"

Sang Tongguang showed embarrassment on his face, and said: "According to the statistics on the income and expenditure budget table of our bureau this year, it is already beyond our means, and the money that should be given to the Academy of Music and Arts has also been given, and I really can't get it anymore." ”

Song Chaoyang was very unhappy, and no longer saved face for him, and asked him face-to-face about the most sensitive amount of income and expenditure, and said: "Can you make ends meet? Can you tell me in detail, how can you make ends meet? How much do you earn this year, and how much do you spend?"

Sang Tongguang, the director of the city's education bureau, really didn't cover it, so he opened his mouth and came: "There are two kinds of income, one is the public relations financial allocation, which is 630 million yuan, and the other is the transfer fund, which is only more than 13 million, and the sum of the two is more than 640 million." The expenditure is less than 650 million yuan, of which the salary and welfare expenditure of the cadres and workers of the city's education system is as much as 500 million, and the rest of the money is also used for its own purposes, so the current situation is that the income is beyond their means, and even the teachers in some schools cannot get the full salary, and the bureau really can't afford it. Not only can't you dig it out, but you may have to go to the city government to make a relationship. ”

After hearing this, Song Chaoyang secretly sneered in his heart, I am afraid that the small treasury of the Municipal Education Bureau will have to have a few million, and what do you say to go to the municipal government to make a fate, this Sang Tongguang is really picky, but it seems that he can't be blamed for this, who is willing to pay for it? Besides, the Municipal Education Bureau does not have this item in the expenditure budget for this year, so why should he let him pay for it? If he is really forced to pay money, it is not right for him, he turned his eyes to Meng Hongbin, and asked: "Can you take a bank loan?" Cooperate with enterprises and other flexible ways to solve part of the funding problem first. I'm also trying to find a way to solve some of it for you. ”

The remaining members of the five academy team members are all submissive and unable to do anything, and this Meng Hongbin is still this Meng Hongbin, who has courage and momentum, giving people a feeling that they can be trusted and reused, so Song Chaoyang has unconsciously regarded him as the new dean, and he has to ask him about everything, and let him do everything.
