Chapter 146: Donation to Alma Mater (3)
Therefore, Zhang Junyi faced such an old man who had made great contributions to the cause of education in Xiangjiang, and his posture was quite low, not only because of Huang Lisong's lofty position in the education industry and political circles of Xiangjiang, but also because of his admiration for the great contributions made by the old man in front of him in his life.

In the face of such an old man who has dedicated his life to the cause of education, no matter how big Zhang Junyi's wealth and status are, he should be given a respect.
"We just came down for a few minutes and waited for a while. Huang Lisong is smiling and obviously in a good mood, in fact, it is no wonder that since Huang Lisong became the president of Hong Kong University, he has been thinking about how to improve the strength and influence of CUHK.
In fact, strength and influence are complementary to each other in some aspects, the stronger the strength, the greater the influence, and the greater the influence, and the more outstanding talents can be attracted, the stronger the strength will be, the more the influence of the school will attract more talents, the more successful people will go out of the school, the greater the achievements they have outside, the more they will return to their alma mater, this is a continuous evolutionary cycle.
So Huang Lisong sent an invitation to Zhang Junyi, although Zhang Junyi had gone through the procedures for suspension before entering the school, and he had not been a guest at Xiangjiang University for a day.
But Huang Lisong doesn't care, as long as it can improve the influence and strength of Xiangjiang University, Huang Lisong will do it, even if it will cause some 'rumors' in the same industry, in Huang Lisong's opinion, it is their envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Among all the alumni of Xiangjiang University who have achieved certain achievements, Zhang Junyi's achievements and wealth status are undoubtedly the most well-known in Xiangjiang and even Asia, Zhang Junyi's success is more like a legend, and in the perspective of Zhang Junyi's current age of less than 19 years old, the height of this legend will definitely get higher and higher in the future, and his popularity and influence will definitely spread to Europe, America and even the world over time.
Self-made, within three years to create the wealth of the top few in Xiangjiang, this is originally a quite inspirational legend, it just so happens that Zhang Junyi is a 'student' of Xiangjiang University, Zhang Junyi's ready-made publicity, if Huang Lisong does not make the most of it, then he Huang Lisong is stupid, as for the 'gossip' of other schools, it was directly passed by Huang Lisong, and you also have the ability to find a 'Zhang Junyi' in your own school.
It can deepen the connection between Xiangkang University and Zhang Junyi, which will undoubtedly have a positive effect on improving the influence of Xiangjiang University, not to mention that Zhang Junyi donated 20 million Hong Kong dollars to his alma mater without breaking down, although it is only used for scientific research in the medical school, but it is also a huge research fund for Xiangjiang University, which is definitely a pie-in-the-sky accident for Huang Lisong, and this pie is still pure gold.
If you want to become a comprehensive university with strong international competitiveness, the key is not how large the school is, but how deep the academic research strength is, and what the background is, that is, how many international awards can be won for academic research.
For example, Harvard, MIT, Stanford。。。。。。 These world-leading institutions of higher learning are all strong in academic research.
The research achievements of these schools over the years have all won one award in each world-class field, which is the foundation of these world-ranked institutions of higher learning.
If you want to improve the strength of academic research, outstanding talents are the primary condition, but sufficient scientific research funds are also indispensable, with sufficient funds to purchase advanced scientific research equipment, with sufficient funds to support continuous scientific experiments, and finally to obtain research results.
Huang Lisong knows that in fact, many scientific research studies at Xiangjiang University give up halfway through, not because the scientific research team failed in the middle of the experiment, but because of the lack of funds, the entire scientific research experiment could not be supported, resulting in many scientific research professors having to terminate the experiment, so they reluctantly gave up.
This shows how important it is for a university to have adequate funding.
Of course, Huang Lisong knows that if she wants to improve the ranking and influence of Hong Kong University in the world, it is far from enough to rely on the fixed annual funding from the Hong Kong government, which is only a drop in the bucket for the university's scientific research experiments.
Even world-famous universities such as Harvard and Stanford can achieve today's achievements, not by the state's financial allocation, but also by donations from the society.
It is because of these elite talents who graduated from the world's brand universities and walked out of the school, after entering the society, they have made great achievements in different countries and different fields in the world, relatively speaking, their donations to their alma mater are also unimaginable, among them are politicians, businessmen, scientists, and other social people, any country in the world.
Compared with the donations made by world-renowned universities in return to their alma mater, the donations received by Hong Kong University each year are less than one-tenth.
After all, Zhang Junyi donated 20 million Hong Kong dollars to Xiangjiang University with a wave of his hand, which is enough to catch up with the financial allocation of the Xiangjiang government for several years in the past.
In fact, Xiangjiang University also receives social donations from successful people who graduated from the school every year, but the amount is not the same as Zhang Junyi's donation, and the donations of previous years are hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, and more than one or two million Hong Kong dollars, but there has never been such a one-time donation as Zhang Junyi.
Although Zhang Junyi asked that 80% of these donations go to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, the School of Medicine also happens to be the signature department of the University and one of the colleges in need of the most funds.
President Huang Lisong came out to greet Zhang Junyi with the senior management of CUHK, because Huang Lisong knew that Zhang Junyi had never attended a day of class at Xiangjiang University, and he probably never even saw the school gate, so Huang Lisong personally introduced everyone behind Zhang Junyi.
Zhang Junyi politely shook hands with every senior member of the school present, and after everyone had a polite exchange under the office building, the group walked into the office building.
