Chapter 1172: Generous Scholarship

readx;

Most of the students have left the school, and the night of Xuefu Lane is still bright and noisy, and the night is permeated in the high places where the street lights do not shine. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Jingmeng set off from Hong Kong very early in the morning, and was too sleepy at night, so she went back to rest with Chen Feirong and Zhou Xiaolu early, and Zhang Ke couldn't tell her that her room had been kept in the apartment on the top floor, so she had to stay with Du Fei and Meng Le to continue drinking, and called Qin Gang over again.

In the past two years, Qin Gang has focused on exploring the computer education market in the province, and has not held any position in the school. Dongda didn't want to get too clear with Kumho, and didn't kick Qin Gang's personnel relationship out of school, and even some benefits would not forget him. In any case, the Dongda Chuangyu Computer Network Training School, where Qin Gang is the general manager, has a 30% stake in Dongda, and Dongda retains Qin Gang's personnel relations, which can be regarded as at least nominally being dispatched by Dongda as the general manager of the online school. Of course, without this factor, the University of Tokyo would not be concerned, not to mention that Cui Guoheng and other scholars from the National Academy of Business are receiving a subsidy from the Kumho Economic Research Center, and Kumho donates more funds to the University every year for the construction of disciplines than other universities.

At the end of an academic year, the new academic year is about to begin, and Kumho's new round of donations to major universities in Tokyo University and Jianye will begin. A lot of people have asked me, what can I say to them? ”

"The plan has just been discussed," Mr. Zhang said, "and there hasn't been much change from last year." ”

Qin Gang knew about last year's donation, so he didn't ask anything more, and asked Du Fei: "Could it be that you called me over so late to invite me to drink?" ”

Zhang Ke told him about transferring him to Century Huayu: "Century Huayu wants to be bigger, and according to our usual practice, we will do some work on talent export channels." Although the donation plan does not include several art academies such as Jianye Conservatory of Music, Century China Entertainment has an additional budget and can do some basic work this year......

"Uh," Shi Xuebin said enviously, "I knew that there was such a beauty difference, and I also defected to Miss Sun Er - it is a beautiful thing to go to the conservatory to make money, and the leaders of the conservatory of music always have to choose two flower-level figures to accompany the dinner to show their sincerity, right?" ”

"What if the leaders of the Conservatory of Music choose Zuo Xiaoqing to accompany you to dinner?" Du Fei joked about Shi Xuebin's girlfriend.

"Then this is going to be the Conservatory of Music to send three flower-level beauties out to accompany you for dinner," Shi Xuebin said with a smile, "Zuo Xiaoqing wants to count what we brought with us." ”

Qin Gang smiled, ignored Shi Xuebin's gag next to him, and asked Zhang Ke about how much budget he could have.

"There are almost 20 million on the side of the conservatory, and now Huayu doesn't have much money, but the amount is too small, and it may not make people pay attention to it - in addition, the province intends to merge the conservatory of music and the art academy, but there is a problem of who and whom, and both sides are unwilling to back down at a step, and they are in an impasse. I wonder if I deliberately neglected the Academy of Arts and increased the donation to the Conservatory to 30 million. Zhang Ke said.

"Your trick is too yin," Meng Le laughed, "Didn't you force the Art Academy to give in?" ”

As one of the top comprehensive universities in China, Tunghai University receives only 200 million yuan in regular education financial allocation from the central and provincial governments every year, and the direct financial support for provincial art colleges is extremely limited. The year before last, in order to prepare for the construction of a comprehensive teaching building, the Conservatory begged grandpa to tell grandma, and the province allocated 12 million, and the conservatory of music finally sold the 10 acres of land on Siyuan Road, and only then did it raise 40 million yuan for construction. The annual education grant and tuition income of the Conservatory of Music are less than 80 million yuan, and Kumho's one-time donation of 30 million yuan will definitely make the leaders of the Conservatory of Music lose sleep for several days. The School of Arts is also short of funds, and seeing that the School of Music can obtain such a large source of external funds, the resistance to the merger of the two schools will naturally be reduced.

Zhang Ke didn't care about who and who, he just wanted to extinguish some of the arrogance of mountainism and make the work go more smoothly.

Looking at his watch, it was not early, Zhang Ke stood up and said to Qin Gang: "By the way, there is a meeting in the province tomorrow afternoon, President Li and Dean Cui are both participating, you have time to accompany me for a trip......"

"I'm with you to discuss how Kumho's scholarship will be distributed this year?" Qin Gang asked.

"What else could be going on at this time?" Zhang Ke smiled and asked, "All provinces and cities will take out a regional college and focus on investment, to build a world-class university, the province can only put the burden on the east." ”

During the summer vacation, Dongda Chuangyu Training School is the period with the most students in the year, although it is necessary to hand over the burden to Ling Xiaoyan, but it cannot be said that it will be handed over, and there will always be a transition period. Besides, there are only a few staff members in the branch of Century Huayu in Jianye, Qin Gang officially transferred over, and he will wait for Sun Jingxiang to return to Jianye.

Before noon, Ye Xiaotong called to inform him of the place and time of the afternoon meeting, and at noon Zhang Ke and Ye Xiaotong had to accompany Li Yuanhu, secretary of the provincial party committee, to dinner, and asked him to go directly to the meeting place to meet them in the afternoon.

Qin Gang had just left home in the afternoon and was about to drive to the provincial government, when he received a call from Cui Guoheng asking him to drive to pick him up.

Cui Guoheng was in the hospital office, Qin Gang drove downstairs to the hospital office, and saw that the principal Li Hongming was also parked in front of the hospital office, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Li Hongming and Cui Guoheng coming out of the hospital office.

Li Hongming saw Qin Gang and greeted him loudly: "Xiao Qin is also going to attend the meeting, is his work in Kumho to be adjusted?" ”

"The training school is temporarily handed over to someone else to take over," Qin Gang said, "What I will do next has not been decided for the time being, so I will follow the chores first." ”

Li Hongming pulled Qin Gang and Cui Guoheng to ride in his car together, and when he got into the car, he asked Cui Guoheng: "Xiao Cui, you get to the bottom first, how generous can Kumho be this time?" ”

Cui Guoheng said with a smile: "The report submitted by the Economic Research Center is only used as a reference, and what decisions have been made there, but it will not be fed back to the Economic Research Center in time......"

"What news does Xiao Qin know?" Li Hongming asked.

"It should be similar to last year," Qin Gang remembered that Zhang Ke told him this yesterday, and said his guess, "Resources may be more concentrated in the east." ”

The scientific research strength of the university is also one of the key forces to be used in the R&D system of Oak Park, not to mention that in order to ensure the smooth channel for the import of high-quality talents to Kumho, a certain amount of funds should be allocated from the scientific research budget of Oak Park every year to support the construction of disciplines in the university.

Among the many universities in Jianye, the University of Tokyo has always been the focus of Kumho's donation, and the University of Tokyo has even established the School of Microelectronics with the direct support of Kumho. In addition to Kumho's library, which spent 400 million yuan to donate, Kumho sent a total of 150 million yuan in donations to Tokyo University last year. Several other universities in Jianye received a total of less than 50 million yuan in donations from Kumho.

The central government has launched the 985 Project to build a number of world-class universities in China, and as one of the key universities benefiting from the 985 Project, the University of Tokyo has received only 200 million yuan in additional education funding from the central and provincial governments this year. This year, the University is expected to receive only $600 million in financial grants, tuition income, and industrial investment income, and it would be a relief to receive another $150 million in donations from Kumho – even if all of them go to Kumho's designated disciplines.

Of course, it would be better for Kumho donations to be more concentrated in Todai.

Since last year, the University of Tokyo has also set its sights on "world-class universities", and it would be better not to have this goal, and with this goal, I realized how big the gap is.

Qin Gang sat in the co-pilot's seat, listening to Li Hongming and Cui Guoheng discussing the development of the school in the back of the car, thinking to himself that don't say anything else, like the most famous well-known colleges and universities in the United States, the annual investment in running schools is one billion dollars. In addition to financial allocations, tuition revenues and other self-raised funds, the University has also strengthened infrastructure construction through bank loans, even so, the annual investment of the University is still far from one billion yuan, and it is even further from the goal of a world-class university.

Qin Gang and the others arrived at the provincial government a little early, Zhang Ke was in Lu Wenfu's office, and asked them to go over and sit down first. followed Lu Wenfu's secretary in, Zhang Ke and Lu Wenfu sat on the sofa and talked, and Ye Xiaotong stood in the corner and didn't know who to talk to on the phone. On such an occasion, Chen Feirong did not appear, Ye Xiaotong is the president of the administrative office, and she is Zhang Ke's first assistant in the substantive sense, this position was previously held by Zhai Danqing.

"You guys came here together...... Zhang Ke and Lu Wenfu stood up and invited Li Hongming and them to take a seat.

Ye Xiaotong walked over and said, "Mr. Chen will not arrive in a quarter of an hour." ”

Lu Wenfu said: "Let's wait for him, the meeting on Vice Governor Li's side is not over yet." ”

Qin Gang thought that he was just sitting in Lu Wenfu's office for a while, but he didn't expect him to attend the meeting, and thought: Vice Governor Li is involved in Chen Qibin's case and is still presiding over the work as usual, but in what capacity did Lu Wenfu participate in today's meeting, and his work in charge has nothing to do with education? I thought that it was possible that the province wanted Lu Wenfu to find a way to solve the source of some education funds, after all, the part that Lu Wenfu was in charge of was one of the main sources of provincial finance.

After waiting for a while, Chen Xinsheng rushed over. He rushed back from Hong Kong, the flight was delayed, and he rushed directly from the airport to attend the meeting, Qin Gang thought that Kumho's donation was about the same as last year, just let whoever come to the meeting, Zhang Keren is in Jianye, you have to respect the province, it doesn't matter if you participate in person, there is really no need for Chen Xinsheng to come over.

Qin Gang thought so in his heart, and at this time, someone knocked on the door and came in, it was Xue Minglou, the secretary of the governor Jiang Minzhi.

Xue Minglou walked in and said, "Governor Lu, Governor Jiang can take time to attend the afternoon meeting, and ask when the meeting will take place?" ”

"I'm waiting for Vice Governor Li's notice? Director Ma Yun of the Department of Education is already in the conference room, why don't we go over first? Lu Wenfu said.

Xue Minglou immediately left to inform Jiang Minzhi, Qin just now knew that the level of today's meeting was still quite high, and he didn't expect Jiang Minzhi to be present before, looking at the expressions of Li Hongming and Cui Guoheng, they didn't know in advance that Jiang Minzhi would participate.

Jiang Minzhi didn't plan to attend the afternoon meeting, so Li Yuanhu called him temporarily, hoping that he could attend in person. When Jiang Minzhi came to the East China Sea, Li Yuanhu rarely directly informed him of any specific meeting to attend, and he knew that Li Yuanhu was with Zhang Ke at noon, and there was some shadow in his heart, but he would not show it.

Before attending the meeting, he also asked Xue Minglou to collect some conference materials, which included the details of Kumho's donations to various universities in Jianye, especially Dongda University, in the past three years, among which the Aida Library donated last year had the greatest impact, and Kumho injected a total of 400 million yuan into the Aida Cultural Fund to build the largest single library in China, and the entire library system will integrate the university collection resources in the Yanguihu area to form the second largest library system in the country.

In addition to this, Kumho donated a total of 200 million yuan to the province's education system from '99 to '00.

"According to Ma Yun, director of the Department of Education, Kumho's donation this year will probably not be lower than last year." Xue Minglou said.

"No less than 200 million, then I should also participate in this meeting......" Jiang Minzhi said, and asked Xue Minglou to accompany him.

Xue Minglou thought to himself that Jiang Minzhi was only a little reluctant in his heart, but Jiang Minzhi couldn't say that he didn't attend, if it weren't for the fact that Kumho's donations all flowed into the education system of Donghai Province, and there were clear requirements for the use of donations, the annual education donation of 200 million yuan was enough for a certain national leader to come forward.

Walking into the conference room, Xue Minglou walked behind Jiang Min, which made it more convenient for him to observe the people in the conference room.

Although Vice Governor Li, who is in charge of education, is still presiding over the work, he has not been able to get out of the Chen Qibin case completely, and his face is not very good, as if even if there is a great good thing at the moment, it has nothing to do with him. When Chen Qibin's case was discovered, Ma Bin, director of the Department of Education, could only insist on working despite illness and temporarily preside over the situation of the Provincial Department of Education. Lu Wenfu and Zhang Ke stood together, and did not shy away from the close relationship with Kumho, and Xue Minglou also heard that Lu Wenfu's son was a classmate of Zhang Ke. Qin Gang knew Xue Minglou, but Xue Minglou didn't know Qin Gang, thinking that the Kumho personnel who could attend today's meeting with Zhang Ke should be extraordinary; He recognized Ye Xiaotong, the daughter of Ye Zhumin, secretary of the party group and deputy general manager of the National Defense Forces Group. Ye Xiaotong was talking to Li Hongming, looking at Li Hongming's expression, Ye Xiaotong seemed to be telling him something that shocked him.

Jiang Minzhi walked in, everyone stood up politely, Jiang Minzhi waved his hand, and said, "I came here to listen to the meeting, and I also expressed my gratitude to Kumho for his generosity on behalf of the province...... Let's all sit down and talk. ”

Vice Governor Li did not have any spirits, but Ma Yun, director of the Provincial Department of Education, who was working sick, presided over the meeting. The province has long made the decision to tilt the educational resources of colleges and universities to the University as much as possible, and of course, to ensure the development potential of other universities in the province. In '99, the provincial government allocated only 1.6 billion yuan for college education in the budget, and Kumho's donation of 200 million yuan to the provincial university system was quite considerable. Kumho also made it clear that it will continue to make a large donation to the provincial university system this year, and the purpose of this meeting is to show respect for Kumho and to hope that Kumho's donations will be more inclined to Tokyo. Ma Yun also knew that holding this meeting would point the finger at the back of other schools, but who made the province unable to squeeze out more resources to the University of Tokyo but had too high expectations for the University?

It was not a particularly formal meeting, Jiang Minzhi also took over the conversation and said a few words after Ma Yun, just waiting for Zhang Ke to report a number to the province, thinking that the official donation ceremony should also be attended.

Zhang Ke didn't say anything, glanced at Chen Xinsheng, and asked Chen Xinsheng to express his position on behalf of Kumho.

"Because Kumho has not yet discussed and approved the plan that was previously drafted, I can only tell him that it is not bad from last year. At this time, I can tell you an accurate number, and it is indeed only slightly more than last year, but in a slightly different way. Chen Xinsheng said.

"What's the difference in the way?" Ma Yun, director of the Department of Education, asked.

Chen Xinsheng said: "We plan to set up a public welfare discipline construction promotion fund, and Kumho's future education donations will mainly flow to this fund, and all universities in the province, including Tokyo University, can apply for discipline construction and scientific research funds from this fund...... Of course, the purpose of our establishment of the fund, mainly to better promote the integration of industry, education and research, the annual promotion fund in the allocation of funds in various disciplines have strict restrictions, the management of the fund will hire well-known professors from various universities to form a council. ”

Jiang Minzhi knew that Kumho still wanted to control the education donation in his own hands, and that any university, or even a professor or researcher in a university, wanted to obtain funds from the Discipline Construction Promotion Fund, and the application conditions must be favorable to Kumho. This is probably the reason why Li Yuanhu asked him to participate in the meeting, because he wanted him to open his mouth to support Kumho's plan, Jiang Minzhi knew that he had no position to oppose it, and Kumho's educational donations were also earmarked by Kumho before, but there was no formal foundation system. Jiang Minzhi was not busy making a statement, and he didn't seem to think it was strange to see the faces of others, and he said, "How much money can Kumho inject into the fund?" ”

"The discipline construction promotion fund will be included in the scientific research budget of Oak Park, and we will make up for it from the middle of the year this year, and we will make a budget of 80 million US dollars, and next year's budget will be taken out by the end of this year, and it is expected that it will not be less than 100 million US dollars......

Xue Minglou can fully understand why Li Hongming was shocked just now, Dongda will be the biggest beneficiary of the Discipline Construction Promotion Fund, and if he gets 100 million US dollars from it every year, what an astonishing amount it will be! How much does Oak Park spend on research each year? It will definitely not be just the $400 million announced to the outside world.
