"Principal, our school motto is 'Bowen Covenant', and you also teach us every year at the beginning of the school year, saying that we should 'Bowen Covenant'. Why is it your turn to shirk it? ”

Principal Gao was stunned, where did this start? Knowledge is deep and broad, abiding by etiquette is called etiquette, I just want to retire, why do I not abide by the school motto?

In the eyes of people like Principal Gao, the grandiose little guys in the student union are just the stubbornness of children, the common disease and vitality of young people. Sun Tzu is different, in terms of talent and achievements, he can be said to be the most outstanding graduate of Hong Kong Chinese University, and he is also the pride of CUHK. Aside from the teacher-student relationship, Sun Ziming's achievements today are enough to make Principal Gao pay attention to his opinions, which also gives him the opportunity to play with words.

Sun Ziming, who was as calm as a middle-aged man, took a sip of tea while brushing his own thoughts to make sure that he could justify himself.

"No, no, those are only the rituals formed in social life due to moral concepts and customs, and they are only the appearance of etiquette. True etiquette refers to the code of conduct that is in line with the overall interests of society, such as what we often call etiquette, self-denial, and etiquette. Etiquette is essentially a kind of moral norm, it is the standard and requirement of our behavior, so Confucius said: "If people are not benevolent, what is etiquette?" It advocates the rule of virtue of "morality and courtesy", breaking the restriction of "courtesy is not inferior to people". ……”

After Principal Gao and Mrs. Huang were dizzy, Sun Tzu Mingcai said quietly: "Principal, no matter whether the passports we take are British or American, we can't deny our Chinese ancestry and can't cut off our cultural heritage, am I right?" ”

"Yes", the two nodded in unison, their minds were already suspicious, two people studying science and engineering, how could there be a student like Sun Ziming who was familiar with these ancient Chinese? What's more, the student in front of him has been supporting the cause of education since he made his fortune, and he can be described as a person of noble character. Such a person will not play some scheming tricks in order to help himself.

But what the two teachers didn't expect was that Sun Ziming has always been a person who has always been unscrupulous as long as his goals are noble; And even if the goal is not noble, he will find a high-sounding reason, and then play tricks.

"Then let's go back to running a school, you are now a good educator. Your greatest gift as an educator should be to promote education and persuade learning. If the newly built universities are just repeating the education model of the mainland, then there is really no need to participate in it; But it is an attempt to restore academic freedom and independence, and is it not polite for an educator like you to refuse to participate? ”

After finishing speaking, Sun Ziming began to drink tea and waited for Principal Gao's reply.

Principal Gao hurt his brain for a long time, and finally printed the sentence, 'To deal with different people, different methods should be adopted'.

"Ziming, the mainland is not as good as Hong Kong, and the law is greater than human feelings. Even if I step down next year and become the principal of your place, I won't be able to deal with those relationships in the mainland? ”

Sun Tzu Ming was overjoyed, hurriedly put down the teacup, and said respectfully: "You can rest assured, the school board is responsible for dealing with the mainland government." Our company is very influential in the mainland, and the local government will definitely cooperate with you.

As long as you establish the academic atmosphere of the new university, you can take care of other chores if you want to, and find a few competent assistants if you don't want to take care of them. In a nutshell, the university is governed by the Council of Trustees under your leadership, and the Board of Trustees is only responsible for investing and fundraising. ”

Principal Gao looked at Mrs. Huang in embarrassment, and it really made sense for his students to say this. It would indeed be a very meaningful thing to restore 'academic independence' in the mainland. No matter which country's passport you hold, your bloodline will never change, and it is also your duty to do your best for your own nation, and it is also the greatest gift for the descendants of Yan and Huang!

The master who wanted to live for the rest of her life also sighed and nodded slightly. People who have experienced the baptism of the great era may not take the change of regime to heart, but their national identity is deep-rooted.

Seeing his wife nodding, Principal Gao groaned for a while, and finally agreed: "That's okay, when the winter vacation comes, I'll start organizing people to prepare." Ziming, let's say that after the rules and regulations of the school are established and improved, you have to find someone to take over. When people get old, they will be confused, and at most they will keep their achievements, and it is impossible to have great development. ”

Sun Ziming hurriedly got up and bowed, and thanked him without a word: "Thank you, thank you."

Mrs. Huang got up and helped her grandson make another cup of hot tea, as their valued student, this kid likes to drink tea, and he still remembers it.

Sun Ziming, who had just sat down, quickly got up and took it with both hands, and thanked: "Thank you, master."

The wife, who was already over the age of six, changed a cup of hot boiled water for her husband and quipped: "No thanks, the tea leaves are your own, and the teacups are yours, and I only provide boiling water." ”

Principal Gao held a white porcelain teacup made by a national craftsman, and also quipped: "We don't like tea, don't give it next time." It's a good thing you've graduated, otherwise the student union would have to taunt me again, saying that I took bribes from students."

Sun Tzu Ming Khan, the student union cadres of CUHK are simply a bunch of bastards who dare to say anything. At the time of the 49-year rebellion, CUHK accepted most of the Yan teachers and students who had been displaced to Hong Kong, and also inherited the virtues of Yan University 50 years ago.

After a few jokes, Principal Gao, who was already preparing to go north to build a school, also asked Sun Ziming in detail about his plan.

Sun Ziming also hurriedly picked up the topic just now and continued: "President, the name of the new university is 'Jingshi University', which means to apply what you have learned to the world, and encourage students to apply what they have learned. In our vision, the University will become a research university with an emphasis on undergraduate education. ……”

After Sun Ziming finished talking about the purpose of running the school, Principal Gao asked the questions he was concerned about. This is a commodity economy society, and it is good to have ideals, but more important is the material basis, that is, the treatment of professors. A very small number of people can give up a high-paying and privileged life for the sake of their ideals, but the vast majority of people still have to pursue the quality of life. Those masters and well-known professors are also mortals, and they do not have enough salaries, so it is impossible to give up the high salaries in Europe and the United States and go to a second-tier city in the mainland to teach.

At this point, Sun Ziming was also prepared, and hurriedly said: "President, don't worry, the salaries of professors will definitely be higher than those abroad." I am going to increase the annual salary of the professors by 50% according to the original standard, and provide a comfortable living environment, so that their living standard is not lower than the standard of foreign countries. ……”

President Gao and his wife took a breath, the professors in Europe are better, and the professors in the United States are really well-paid. When President Gao was a researcher at Yale and the SEL Research Center in Germany, his annual salary was $500,000, and according to this calculation, the annual salary of someone who is as famous as himself will be more than $750,000. Of course, the level of President Gao is top even in the United States, but the salary of ordinary professors is not low, and the average annual salary of professors in prestigious American universities is more than 100,000!

Sun Ziming was happy and said with a smile: "Principal, the monthly salary of a primary school teacher in the Republic of China is 80 yuan, and the principal of the primary school is 120 yuan, Mr. Ji Xianlin has just graduated from Peking University, and teaches Mandarin in Jinan, ten classes a week is not a class teacher, and the monthly salary is 160 yuan. I can't even be inferior to the Beiyang warlords, right? Anyway, you can add 50% to the salary level in Europe and the United States, and we can afford the salaries of professors. ”

Principal Gao glared at Sun Ziming, "Boy, this is no joke, do you know how many faculty members and how much expenses a university needs?" You run a private university of a non-profit nature, and the salary is according to the foreign standard, and the tuition fee cannot be according to the foreign standard. ”

When it comes to money, Sun Ziming is the most confident in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Principal, don't worry, this money is really nothing." I asked my subordinates to roughly calculate that after my American film company went public, it would make a profit of $300 million to $400 million a year; I also have a batch of stocks in my hand, which are currently worth about $20 billion, and will continue to be injected into the ...... of the school. ”

Principal Gao and his wife looked at Sun Ziming in shock, and only after a while did they say in disbelief: "Ziming, you're not joking, are you?" Do you have $20 billion in assets that you plan to spend all of them on education? ”

But what the two didn't expect was that Sun Tzu Mingming was not shocking and endless, and continued to tell how rich he was.

"Principal, you want to build a real university, so I'm telling you the truth. That's just the current value, and in our judgment, those stocks will be worth at least $200 billion or more as long as the Internet tide comes. Even excluding those American assets, my assets in Russia and mainland China are in the hundreds of billions, so you don't have to worry about funding, just build the school to the best it can be. ”

Principal Gao and his wife looked at Sun Ziming in shock, this young man is known as the God of Wealth in Hong Kong's upper society, and his fame is on par with that of the richest man Li. Unexpectedly, the Li family's achievements in business are not worthy of lifting shoes for this kid!

They are not those snobbish citizens who can see through the essence of Hong Kong's rich people at a glance. Those people are actually the bloodsuckers of Hong Kong, and they are the ones who have transformed Hong Kong from a foreign trade economy into a paradise for real estate businessmen. In the eyes of those who are pedantic, Hong Kong's future will decline rapidly as long as the mainland completes the transformation from the rule of man to the rule of law, and eventually becomes an ordinary first-tier city in the Greater China region.

There was silence in the living room, and Principal Gao was silent for a long time before he woke up from the shock and hesitated: "Ziming, can you tell me how you managed to make so much wealth in less than ten years?" ”

Sun Tzu knew what Principal Gao meant, wealth was original sin, and he made his fortune so fast that he couldn't explain it with common sense. Principal Gao is a person who has already achieved fame, and if his property is not clean, it will affect his reputation. Principal Gao has worked hard all his life and has reached the pinnacle of life as a scientist and educator, even if he establishes a world-class prestigious school, it is just the icing on the cake for him.

smiled bitterly for a while, Sun Ziming regretted it a little bit, behind the glamorous, who didn't see the unsightly deeds? However, Principal Gao agreed to be the first principal, and his financial strength must be let him know, and only by letting him know in his heart can he better consolidate the foundation of the school. Fortunately, among the things that Sun Ziming did, only the kidnapping incident was not visible, and that matter never involved him. After pondering for a while, Sun Ziming eliminated the little private matter and told the source of his wealth.

"President, I have three assets on the table, Hong Kong, the mainland, and Russia, all of which are earned by my own efforts and investment vision; There are two pieces of wealth hidden under the table: one is the stock of companies acquired in the United States, and the other is earned by financial speculation.

In 91, the Japanese property market and stock market suddenly collapsed; and when the Gulf War broke out, oil prices suddenly soared; And then the Japanese electronics industry was suddenly hit hard, and my friends and I were involved in all of these things. In the previous matter, we just rely on analysis to get the results, and then go with the flow; Later, I sniped Sony and Panasonic, and it was completely my cooperation with my friends to set up a game for the Japanese.

Do you know the C-CUBE room? After I bought it from Sun Yansheng, I handed it over to my classmates at Yan University to continue to organize people to study digital technology. Let's put it this way, in the field of civil electronics, C-CUBE is already one of the strongest real chambers in the world. When the university starts recruiting students, I will also hand over the C-CUBE room to the school for scientific research. ”

Principal Gao, who had a complicated expression, stared at his students for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "You kid is an unborn demon, and he can't be regarded as a human at all!" ”

Sun Ziming he ”

Principal Gao was not amused by Sun Ziming, but his face became more solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Ziming, do you think there may be saints in this world?" ”

Sun Ziming was also stern, and said with a straight face: "There can be no saints, as long as they are people, they will have selfish thoughts, it's just a matter of degree." ”

Then Sun Ziming did not shy away from some of his private affairs, and said selectively and frankly: "Principal, I am a traditional person, believing in 'there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest', my wife is infertile, and Mingjuan is actually the illegitimate daughter of me and Jiaming.

The son is valued by his mother, and my wife and Jiaming are husband and wife in distress, so Mingjuan will have the right to inherit part of the property. In the future, it is impossible for my children to have a mother who has shared the hardships with me, so they will naturally lose the right to inherit property. Of course, I will set up a family trust fund to support other children and grandchildren, so that those who have the ability can get ahead, and those who do not have the ability to have food and clothing can have no worries. ”

Sun Ziming's implication was that Principal Gao understood that if nothing else, most of the young man's property would be injected into the newly built school before he died.

Mrs. Huang, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly interjected: "Ziming, since you are so rich, donate some to CUHK?" ”

"Yes, I was just about to say that, CUHK is your alma mater."

Unexpectedly, Sun Ziming shook his head and refused, "Principal, Mrs., one day CUHK will recruit all Chinese, and I will donate." I donated to the three universities in Taiwan, Furen, Soochow, and Tamkang because they are private universities, and they are not profit-oriented schools. ”

"The new university will be open to all Chinese?"

Sun Ziming smiled, "Principal, I still have a British passport to open a company in the United States, I have to find a reason to be tall, right?" In the future university, Chinese students are the focus, and students from poor areas in Asia, Africa and Latin America are also recruited, and scholarships are provided without discrimination. ”

The language of international students is a problem, how to compete with mainland students for scholarships? Principal Gao, who has lived overseas for most of his life, couldn't help but scold: "Profiteer! You must still be thinking about going to prestigious private universities in Europe and the United States to donate money to fund Chinese people to study there, right? ”

"The headmaster is wise! When I came, I was still thinking that I had to find a way to make a name for myself, and not let the fat water flow into other people's fields and cheapen those ghosts. ”

This time, even Mrs. Huang scolded Sun Ziming for being a profiteer, and he was not ashamed but proud.

"I'm not that noble, I'm not of my race, and my heart will be different."

After discussing the school for a while, Sun Ziming saw that the time was not early, got up and said goodbye: "Principal, then the school matter is please." ”

"Well, I'll arrange it. Hurry back to sleep, look at you like this, you haven't had much rest during this time. ”

The next day, Sun Ziming called the third brother and Hu Weiguo, who were interested in this matter, from the mainland, and asked the two of them to be responsible for running the procedures and coordinating with the local government, and Principal Gao was responsible for a series of work such as the school's site selection, planning, and school preparation, and he returned to the United States to continue filming "Independence Day". He himself has no connections in the country, and he can only blindly command when he participates.
