The establishment of the meritorious platform and the meritorious wall, after being disclosed by the media, can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.

Since ancient times, Oriental people have paid attention to establishing oneself, establishing one's career, establishing one's family, and then establishing one's name.

Nanhua is not a other country, there were no universities before, and no other university competes with Nanhua for education funding.

Moreover, according to the intentions of all walks of life in South China, in addition to the University of South China, it is impossible to set up other universities in other regions in the future, and at most set up some colleges and secondary schools.

This means that the University of South China will be the only university for the Chinese people in Southeast Asia, and it is the greatest honor for anyone to be able to engrave their name in the center of the university for future generations to admire.

Zhou Nan played this trick.

Although the construction of Nanhua University is a long-term process, it has now lost at the starting line, so it should seize the time to develop.

Although talent is important, except for a few people who are ahead of their time, almost no one is indispensable.

At present, the biggest constraint of the University of South China is the problem of funding, because as long as there is money, the British will not come, there will be Americans, Americans will not come, and there will be Germans and Swedes.

In particular, most of the scientists in the electronics and microelectronics industry are now short of scientific research funds, and Nanhua can only use funds to lure them if they want to compete for talents.

In the eyes of Hu Xijiang, an old-fashioned literati, the School of Electronic Science and Technology was not important at all, and he insisted on establishing the School of Geology first.

Although they are old-school literati, it doesn't mean that they don't pay attention to science. The importance of things like physics and chemistry is known to everyone.

The School of Geology can cultivate exploration talents and play a positive role in promoting geological exploration in the future.

But Zhou Nan definitely doesn't think so, there are no exploration talents, even if we invite people to explore first, anyway, the resources are in my land, and it is never too late to develop at any time.

At present, the global resource price is not high, and it just wants to become a part of the industrial system, so Nanhua does not need to develop into a country with a full industrial system, and there is no such foundation.

Now the funds are not sufficient, and every money has to be used wisely.

The era of the development of electronic technology has not yet been taken seriously, but Zhou Nan, a person with the memory of later generations, knows very well that the electronic age is coming soon.

He has been following the news in this area, and last December, a team of Shockley, Bardeen and Bratton of Bell Labs in the United States developed a point-contact germanium transistor.

Electronic technology will enter the era of microelectronics from the era of coarse electron tubes. If the University of South China does not keep up, it will become more and more outdated.

It took him a lot of effort to convince Hu Xijiang to temporarily open only geology in the School of Environment and Architecture, and to list the School of Electronic Science and Technology as a separate college.

Originally, he wanted to set up the School of Computer Science as a large college, but it was rejected by the school board, and they couldn't understand why a punch card could be more important than other disciplines.

The computer in this era is indeed like a punch card, and Zhou Nan is not a professional, so he can't explain the foundation of the development of computers, so he has to accommodate them first.

However, in order to make up for Turing, Zhou Nan nominated him as the dean of the School of Computer Science, although this is only the dean of the second-level college, but his research will not be hindered by anyone.

Turing didn't care about any of this, what he cared about was whether he had enough R&D funds, and whether he had a cute little brother to accompany him to enjoy a happy and stable life.

However, seeing a few of his peers brought from the UK, Zhou Nan temporarily put his mind at ease, at least one of them was his boyfriend, and Zhou Nan was not afraid that he would start from the students after he was hungry.

Although the School of Computer Science is only a second-level college, Zhou Nan's funding for them is second only to the School of Electronics, and no one attaches more importance to Turing's energy than him.

There are still some opinions on this point from the Faculty of Liberal Arts, because the research funding of one electronics college exceeds the research funding of the entire Faculty of Liberal Arts.

Although the liberal arts and the sciences are two major colleges, the educational extra-funding of the liberal arts college is less than one-tenth of that of the science college.

However, the Academy of Arts and Sciences also knows that the development of Nanhua needs to take the road of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, and these investments are indispensable. Moreover, although the Faculty of Arts and Sciences has a small amount of funding outside of education, it does not owe any educational funds, and the teachers and students are satisfied with a stable environment.

Indeed, in the liberal arts, whether it is a major in Chinese literature, a foreign language, a major, a law major, or a diplomatic major, a lot of knowledge is just a inheritance, practice makes perfect, and the accumulation of experience is not comparable with the research funds invested in scientific and technological innovation.

Although Hu Xijiang sometimes quarreled with Zhou Nan, he opened his mouth and said: "It is better to change the name of South China University of Technology to South China University of Technology." ”

But this is just his way to get a little more appropriation, and it is inevitable that the two will fight at work, but the personal relationship has always been very good.

This is mainly because Zhou Nan has no selfishness at all, everything he does is for the development of Nanhua University and the development of Nanhua country.

And he himself is also a literati, and he actually has a common language with them.

Zhou Nan still respects these people very much, and his dormitory at the University of South China is also with them.

The school in Nanhua is very large, and although the design of the entire campus is a Bagua-like shape, it is slightly different according to the topography, and it is also scattered over 50 square kilometers of land.

The distance between the colleges is not close, and you have to take the campus shuttle bus or bicycle to get around. Like the southernmost teachers' college, if you want to get to the northernmost computer college, the straight-line distance is seven kilometers away.

When the school is big, where Zhou Nan lives is particularly important, because he controls the economic power, and the allocation of funds has to be directed to him.

It would have been more convenient for Zhou Nan to live in the Academy of Sciences, but he still lived in a villa area in the north of Wutong Mountain with a group of literati from China.

The area of this kind of villa is not large, it is only 120 square meters, and there are two and a half floors above and below.

As long as it is at the level of a professor, everyone can be assigned one set, and even if they die, their spouse can continue to live.

The only thing that Zhou Nan did not let go of was the right to inherit. This is also because Nanhua's inheritance law has not yet been determined, and property rights will definitely be discussed in the future.

But these professors are already very satisfied, although the salary is now paid in South China dollars, but there is no problem with domestic consumption in South China, and the income of a professor is enough for a large family to live a very superior life.

Compared with European and American countries, the biggest advantage of Nanhua is that it is rich in products and low in price. Rice here is ripened at least three times a year, and a variety of fruits are available all year round.

Because it is a resource producing area, the consumption of food, clothing, and housing has also decreased. The only thing is that it is a little higher, but when the steel mill is built and the price of steel comes down, the cost of this aspect will be cheaper.

On September 4, Zhou Nan did not sleep all night. Everyone knew that he was leaving early the next morning, and that the unresolved matters had been delivered to him.

This time he stayed in Nanhua for twelve consecutive days, and Zhou Nan also discovered that Kelvin was indeed a talent not inferior to his father.

Unlike his father's profession, however, Stolko had a keen sense of politics and a thorough analytical ability.

But Kelvin's genius is in numbers, in economics.

As Zhou Nan's agent at the University of South China, he coped with this complicated situation well, and the accounts were clearly listed.

Moreover, he still has the leisure to worry about the development of Nanhua in China, such as Olympia clothing, which he is responsible for liaison.

Zhou Nan also knew that his interest was not in the university, he wanted Zhou Nan to arrange him to work in the South China Central Bank, and he was born in the financial industry, but he was more interested in finance.

So before leaving, Zhou Nan still needs to calm his heart.

Zhou Nan's influence in Nanhua is already great enough, although it cannot be said that it is a high achievement, but we must also pay attention to this influence.

Pan Lao's government departments are also constrained by the parliament, which in turn is constrained by the Dutch side, and they all need to face the supervision of the opposition parties, and then the opposition parties need to face the supervision of the government supervision department.

But what about Zhou Nan?

Because he is not in the bureau, there is no one who can supervise him and restrain him. And his influence even exceeds that of anyone else, if he doesn't restrain himself at this time, it will only lead to everyone being jealous of him.

Because his destructive power is too strong.

Although Zhou Nan knows the importance of the financial industry to a country, he would rather cross the river by feeling the stones and stumble over all walks of life in South China, at least this will increase the political experience of all walks of life.

He didn't dare to meddle!

In addition to the domestic pressure in South China, Zhou Nan also needs to face international pressure. He does not hold great power now, which has already made Europe and the United States very scruples about his influence, and if he grasps some real power in South China, it will be a bit out of bounds.

After analyzing these scruples with Kelvin, he said with some frustration: "Then you might as well let me follow Uncle Helder to take charge of business investment, I like to do pioneering work, not this kind of procedural work." ”

By this time, it was already dark, and Stolko had already gotten up and joined them in the conversation. Zhou Nan also deliberately waited for Stolko to get up, and he, who was a father, could also suppress his restless heart.

Sure enough, hearing him say this, Stolko rambled at him, thinking that he still needed to be down-to-earth and gain more experience.

Zhou Nan interrupted him, to say that he was young, he was four years younger than Kelvin, this statement would only make Kelvin's rebellious psychology more and more serious. Zhou Nan didn't want him to resign and return to Europe in a fit of anger, and Zhou Nan still attached great importance to this talent.

He pointed to the direction of Wutong Mountain in the southeast and said: "Kelvin, what do you think is the purpose of the University of South China now opening so many laboratories and cooperating with several pharmaceutical companies, Volkswagen Factory, and Hughes Aircraft Company?" ”
