Chapter 310: Heritage!
Yan Murong's words were like a bomb - oh no, it was an atomic bomb dropped on the quiet lake, which led all the reporters to exclaim.
What does he mean by that? What do you mean that only Yenching University is worthy of college? Is this questioning the competence of other universities?
During this time, Yan Murong's high-paying poaching of people with great fanfare has caused a lot of discussion, and now he is saying such things, isn't this openly arguing with all universities?
"Mr. Yan, may I ask what you are saying on the basis of this?"
"Mr. Yan, have you considered the consequences when you say this?"
Suddenly, the reporters in the audience were in a mess, and no one raised their hands to wait for Yan Murong to scream, they all stood up and asked Yan Murong loudly.
"I naturally have a reason to say this, but you are arguing, how can I answer?" Yan Murong said.
Hearing Yan Murong's words, the reporters immediately quieted down, and looked at Yan Murong one by one with their necks stretched, waiting for his shocking answer.
Yes, it's shocking. In their eyes, Yan Murong is a person who is open-mouthed and will say whatever comes to mind, and he dares to say it in the live broadcast of Huaxia Channel, let alone this kind of press conference.
"I know what you're thinking." Yan Murong said with a smile. "I said that only Yenching University is worthy of college, but in fact, it is not without reason."
As he spoke, Yan Murong looked at the reporters in the audience and asked. "Can anyone tell me the history of Yenching University?"
"I'll come."
As soon as Yan Murong's words fell, a female reporter stood up and said. "Mr. Yan, I am a graduate of Yenching University, thank you very much for your evaluation of Yenching University."
first thanked Yan Murong before the female reporter said. "Founded in 1898, Yenching University was first named Beijing Normal University, and is the first national university in China."
"Thank you for your answer." Yan Murong smiled and nodded to the female reporter and said. She is right, Yenching University, from its establishment to the present, has a history of more than 100 years - what is the most important thing about the university? Is it fame? Faculty? Or how many students? No, none of these are – the most important thing is the heritage. ”
"Can anyone tell me when Columbia University and Harvard University in the United States, Cambridge University and Oxford University in the United Kingdom were founded?"
"Does no one know?"
Yan Murong smiled and looked at the audience, and found that these reporters were talking to each other one by one, but after discussing for a long time, no one could answer his question.
"Well, I'll tell you." Yan Murong said. "Columbia University, founded in 1754, Harvard University earlier, it was founded in 1636, Cambridge University was earlier, in 1209, the first was Oxford, founded in 1167 - I won't say anything else, you say, in China, which of our universities has a history more than them?"
"I'm not talking about how good their universities are, but I'm talking about the historical heritage that a university should have."
"Compared with these foreign universities, the background of our Huaxia University is really too poor - fame is accumulated over time, compared with decades and hundreds of years, I believe you can calculate which is more and which is less - of course, if your mathematics is taught by a physical education teacher, I can't argue with you."
"Do you say it yourselves, is there anything wrong with what I just said?" Yan Murong looked at the reporters in the audience and asked loudly.
As Yan Murong's last sentence fell, the audience became silent, everyone was bowing their heads and pondering, even the guests sitting at the front were silently thinking about Yan Murong's words.
What is the most important thing about college? It is the heritage, and it is the fame accumulated by history.
In the backstage, Teng Xiangling and Dong Wuyan didn't know when they got together, looking at the high-spirited Yan Murong on the stage, the two women were unconsciously a little stupid.
"This guy, when did you know so much?" Dong Wuxian muttered.
"I don't know." Teng Xiangling shook his head and said with a sigh. However, what he said is quite reasonable, people's perception of universities is still stuck in the level of receiving higher education, and they do not recognize what kind of influence a school's foundation has on students.
On the stage, Yan Murong looked at the reporters who were thinking with their heads bowed in the audience with clear eyes, and said with a smile. "Okay, let's not delay our efforts, if you have any questions, just continue to ask, this topic is over, you can be merciful when you report."
Yan Murong's words caused a kind laugh from the audience. If they were still dissatisfied with Yan Murong's words before, but when Yan Murong said those words, everyone was completely convinced.
"Mr. Yan, I'm a reporter from Huaxia TV." A reporter sitting in the front position stood up, looked at Yan Murong and asked. "What you just said makes me deafening, but what I want to ask is, since you talked about the question of heritage, what is the direction of your school's development? How will you build the foundation of your school? ”
"I'm sorry to tell you that I don't have any plans for the future." Yan Murong said with a smile, and continued in the reporter's surprised eyes. "Plans can't keep up with changes, this is the lesson left by our ancestors. No matter how good and perfect your plan is, sometimes a little change is enough to disrupt your overall plan, so my plan is no plan. As for how to develop in the future, let's take one step at a time. ”
Take it one step at a time? A lot of people are a little dumbfounded. This answer is really ambiguous, just now I said that the foundation of a university is very important, and now I say that there is no development plan, which makes people listen to the clouds.
"Next." Yan Murong continued to shout.
"Mr. Yan, I hope you can answer my question seriously." A reporter who was called by Yan Murong stood up, did not say hello to Yan Murong, nor did he report the name of the media he was in, and asked directly. "Mr. Yan, half a year ago, the Thunder Investment of the three major consortiums in China suddenly changed hands, according to people familiar with the matter, it was Huayuan Group and Minghua Group who joined forces to snipe, is this true?"
The person who came was not good, Yan Murong was stunned in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face and said. "Your question doesn't seem to have anything to do with it now, but I can answer you, it's true, it's not a secret, it's all reported in the newspapers, don't you read the newspapers?"
"Yes, it's in the newspapers." The reporter looked at Yan Murong and said. "However, according to my investigation, the funds used by Mr. Yan in establishing this school, except for a part of the bank loan, the remaining large amount of funds were obtained from the account of Thunder Investment, I want to ask, did you also participate in the incident of sniping Thunder Investment? In other words, does Zheng Wuming's death have anything to do with you? ”
