Chapter 930: Carrying the Black Cauldron for the Headmaster (Part II)
Since its establishment, Jingshi University has attracted the attention of the people of the whole country, and there are many topics surrounding it: the first private university after the founding of the People's Republic of China instead of a private university, the ownership of all the rights of a public university, the Ministry of Education has very little binding force on it, the tuition fees and scholarships are extremely high, and the faculty is strong, ......and so on.
Although the mainstream media maintains a cautious attitude towards the topic of national concern, the general media pays close attention to it, and it can be said that it is covered in great detail.
From the beginning of the site selection to the completion of the site, more than a billion people have seen a wasteland, and at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye, a new university surrounded by mountains and rivers and picturesque scenery has been built. And what shocked everyone even more was that the principal from Hong Kong actually fulfilled his promise, 55% of the school's teachers come from various world-famous universities, 30% of the professors are world-renowned professors, a generation of masters in various fields, and two Nobel laureates have been hired to teach and engage in scientific research at the school.
The Ministry of Education has also fulfilled its original promise, and in January 2000, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has given the green light to the list of supervisors listed above in the application for the right to confer degrees for academic, master's and doctoral degrees, and has included the vast majority of professors in the list of experts and scholars enjoying special government allowances from the State Council.
It can be said that by the time the Ministry of Education issued a document in February, Jingshi University had become a famous university in the eyes of the whole people, and it could be faintly compared with Yan University and Tsinghua University, but the difference was only the historical background.
However, with the establishment of the official website of Jingsei University, some rumors that had not been officially confirmed were finally confirmed, and it was quickly pushed into the whirlpool of public opinion.
The first controversy was the ultra-high tuition fees and scholarships, which cost 35,000 to 40,000 yuan a year, which is more than ten times that of public universities in the early 3,000s a year. The highest-level scholarship is 45,000 per academic year, which is more than 40 times that of public universities in their early 1,000s.
The tuition fee of 35,000 to 40,000 yuan, in a country where a person's annual disposable income is only a few thousand yuan, doesn't this cost the lives of students' parents? The website says that there is no limit to the number of scholarships, as long as students study hard, they can use the scholarships to pay most of the tuition fees, but what if their children relax their studies?
Of course, the website also says that new students can apply for student loans from Far Eastern Bank after enrollment. If the scholarship you received during your studies is not enough to cover your tuition, you can repay the loan after graduation. But after four years of college, I owe more than 100,000 debts, how can my children pay it back in the future? The average job now is only one or two thousand yuan, and even for foreign-funded enterprises, it is only three or four thousand yuan a month.
Second, the huge disparity in the salaries of university faculty and staff can be said to be appalling. The average annual salary of a full professor is 145. 60,000 RMB, 102 associate professors. 70,000, 75 lecturers. 50,000, while the average for administrative staff is 5. 80,000, and the most basic employees, such as security guards and the like, are only 2. 10 thousand.
What's even more shocking is that the annual salary of the two Nobel laureates is 600,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 5 million yuan at this exchange rate, which is 50% higher than their original salary!
Of course, according to the per capita income level at this time, the average salary of administrative staff is not low, but it is equivalent to the salary level of professors and university scholars in those famous universities, but the gap is too big, right? Everyone is a colleague, and even in an office building, they don't see anyone looking up, and their salaries are hundreds of times worse, which makes those ordinary managers embarrassed?
Good deeds, from the website of the United States Department of Labor, the average salary of American professors is $103,158, the average salary of associate professors is $76,147, the average salary of assistant professors is $63,827, and the average salary of lecturers is $52,436. Comparing the salary level of Jingshi University, doesn't this mean that those foreign professors who come to teach in China have their salaries directly increased by more than 50%?
Fortunately, this is a commodity economy society, and the income gap is no longer a taboo. People give up the superior living environment abroad and go to a relatively backward country to work, without higher pay, you are Bethune?
Of course, people are more concerned about what Director Sun Da, who only accepts interviews with entertainment news reporters, is about to give an exclusive interview to Hunan Provincial TV Station, what will he say on TV? You must know that this genius director and super-rich man doesn't even accept an exclusive interview with CCTV, and he will only show his face on TV before the release of the new film.
……
Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, Hunan Provincial TV Station and the website of Jingshi University, finally in the picturesque Jingshi University, under a pavilion of ancient camphor trees, interviewed the Chinese people very interested in Sun Ziming. Of course, this interview was broadcast live at the request of Sun Ziming, and he was very afraid that reporters and directors would take words out of context and modify good words into tall.
However, looking at the shrewd and capable provincial Taiwan reporter Li and the school website reporter next to him who looked very immature, Sun Ziming couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Anyway, I have to give this kid some chances, otherwise he won't even find a chance to ask questions during the forty-five minutes of the interview.
First of all, on the issue of salary, at present, famous scholars and professors in domestic universities generally only receive 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, while the average annual salary of lecturers in Jingshi University has reached nearly 800,000 yuan.
Sun Ziming asked rhetorically: "Reporter Li, do you know how high the salary of university professors was during the Beiyang warlord period?" ”
"How much?"
The young and beautiful reporter Li really didn't know that she studied journalism, not history. What's more, those who don't study the history of the Republic of China will not pay attention to it at all, not to mention that under decades of intentional neglect, not many people know about it.
Sun Ziming shook his head, this beautiful female reporter is really not very good, and she doesn't even do her homework on the questions she wants to ask.
According to the "Regulations on the Qualifications of University Teachers" promulgated by the Beiyang government in 1927, the monthly salary of university teachers is 600 yuan to 400 yuan for professors, 400 yuan to 260 yuan for associate professors, 260 yuan to 160 yuan for lecturers, and 160 yuan to 100 yuan for teaching assistants. The maximum monthly salary of a professor is 600 yuan, which is basically the same as that of ministers of the national government. In the early 30s of the 20th century, the average monthly salary of teachers in primary and secondary schools was 220 yuan, 120 yuan, and 30 yuan respectively; During the same period, the monthly salary of the average worker in Shanghai was about 15 yuan.
In other words, the salary of domestic professors at that time should be 40 times that of ordinary workers. What the Beiyang warlords can do, can't we do today?
Now the annual income of workers in the provincial capital is about 25,000, so it is very normal for our professors to receive an annual salary of one million. As for those two world-class scientists, they are rare talents in the world, and their contributions to mankind far exceed that of a few stars. A director like me can get paid tens of millions of dollars for making a movie, but is it still high for them to get a salary of less than a million dollars? ”
Fortunately, this young female reporter, who is not such a brainless person, found that Sun Ziming was not easy to get along with, and hurriedly pulled the topic to the scholarship. Regarding the issue of the professor's salary, if this great director continues to play, maybe she will be hit K when she returns to Taiwan.
When asked this question, Sun Tzu Ming said: "The sage crosses people, and the strong save themselves." Jingshi University only cultivates elites, not mediocre talents, and even if some students are unable to get high-level scholarships, they can repay the loan after graduation.
If the students of the past cannot repay their debts of more than 100,000 yuan after graduation, it can only show that our education has failed. ”
……
After asking some topics of interest to the audience, Sun Ziming saw that the young man in his school was too polite, and just asked an outsider to ask a question, he himself didn't say a word, and couldn't help but remind: "Wang Ping, do you have any questions?" ”
Xiao Qing, who had never had a chance to ask questions, blushed slightly and said, "Of course there is, I just want Miss Li to ask first, because my questions are more scathing." ”
The beautiful female reporter's face is dark, how can this child with acne on her face speak? Could it be that he is an entertainment reporter and asks about gossip news?
Sun Ziming was also happy, this young man who had just been admitted to the master's degree of Jingshi University was really unexpected, not only knew that his peers were enemies, but also wanted to step on people's shoulders to get on the throne.
"Let's talk about it, when we used to study, we dared to knock down the leaders who came to give speeches."
"I've heard that the seniors were dumbfounded when they asked a vice minister of education", Wang Lei, who had a pimple on his face, slapped his ass silently, he also graduated from Yan University, and he had heard of the audacity of those seniors in the past.
"Mr. Sun, at the opening ceremony or other important moments in our mainland, leaders will be invited to attend and give speeches or speeches. I have noticed that the school committee did not arrange for you to give a speech in the 'Establishment and Opening Ceremony' process, does this mean that you are rejecting government officials? ”
Reporter Li turned his face and avoided the camera and glared at the young man, which is scathing, obviously offending the leader!
Sun Ziming also caught this guy off guard, such a question should be tactful, rather than directly putting those officials who want to show their faces on the stove to roast. Sun Ziming groaned for a while, quickly organized the language, and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, it's not that there is no arrangement, but that I refused." ”
"Why?"
Sun Ziming joked: "Because I don't know what to say to everyone standing on the stage?" I'm just a director, and maybe a good businessman. This is the university, can I tell you, how to make a movie? Or tell me how I work with people in the mall or cheat me? ”
"No, Mr. Sun, you still dodged my question."
Sun Ziming also waved his hand and said: "No, I didn't avoid your question, I just sued you for the reason for my refusal."
In addition to being a director, I'm also a very good businessman who instinctively thinks about risks and returns. Giving a speech on stage doesn't help me much, but giving up this opportunity can allow more people to donate to the school, so why don't I?
As for whether what you asked is a polite rejection of government officials, I can't answer that. Since you are a student at Jingsei University, you should be well aware of the rules and regulations of the school. The affairs of the school are managed by the school committee, and I am only a donor and have no right to interfere in their work. ”
'Hehehe', the fledgling Wang Ping laughed a few times, but Mr. Sun still avoided the question, but he made reasonable use of the rules to avoid it.
"Mr. Sun, can you reveal the information of the guest who spoke on your behalf?"
"No, I don't know. But I guess it's a very well-known educator. ”
Who will be the guest speaker? Sun Ziming really didn't know that President Gao invited several presidents of world-famous universities to participate, how did he know who would replace him?
