Sending Ning Xingpu, Yang Shaonong, and Gao Lin away, because of Ning Xingpu's hints, Qin Chuan was no longer in a hurry to ask Jin Lisan about the harvest of Ning Xingpu and Gao Lin's trip, but first listened to Tang Guoan, Zhong Wenyao, and Rong Shangqin's report about the school. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the establishment of Aurora University and Aurora Middle School in October, because the campus has been basically planned and constructed before Tang Guoan, these "children" decided to come to Aurora Group to follow Qinchuan, and the teaching classrooms, student dormitories, and even teaching tools and a small amount of teaching and research equipment have been prepared, so the school's work has been carried out very smoothly.

According to the reports of Tang Guoan, Zhong Wenyao, and Rong Shangqin, in the past three months, Aurora University and Aurora Middle School have enrolled more than 1,000 students between the ages of eight and 15 from cities such as Qingdao, Fuzhou, and Hankou, GD.

The reason why so many students can be recruited in three months is mainly due to two points.

The first is that the Westernization Movement has been carried out for many years, and Western studies are no longer regarded as a flood beast, and it is precisely the young people who have mastered Western studies that are more likely to find jobs in the newly opened factories. And there are those children in the past as role models, although these children have not become high-ranking officials until now, but more or less have a half-official position, and those who are not good also have decent jobs, which makes many families who are unable to climb the career and want their children to have a stable career see hope.

The second reason is that in order to recruit as many promising and outstanding young people as possible, Qin Chuan instructed Tang Guoan and Rong Shangqin to clearly stipulate in the enrollment brochure that all students who meet the conditions to enter Aurora University and middle school will not only be responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation in school, but also give each person five pieces of Vermilion Ocean every month for pocket use.

Five pieces of Vermilion Bird Ocean, at this time is not a small amount of money, a family of a few people spend more than enough in a month, these students in addition to pocket money, can also have a lot of surplus, family difficulties can be sent home to subsidize the family.

If you are lucky enough to be selected to study abroad, not only will all the expenses of the students abroad be borne by the school, but Aurora University will also send 10 Suzaku Oceans to the parents of these people every month until these people return to China.

Such good conditions are naturally very attractive, but unfortunately, there are basically not many of these students who can directly enter Aurora University to study university courses, only more than 60 students who have studied Western studies in TJSH Guangzhou and Hong Kong Church School can barely reach the level of direct admission to university, and the rest have to enter middle school, and even teenagers who are younger or have a poor foundation have to start from primary school.

Therefore, although Aurora University now offers preparatory majors in a series of subjects such as modern mathematics, physics, chemistry, electricity, modern smelting, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, construction engineering, accounting, railway engineering, bridge engineering, geological exploration, etc., the students in each discipline are basically only in single digits. Not only did the spacious classrooms seem empty, but there were also very few teachers and students on campus.

On the contrary, the Aurora Middle School presided over by Rong Shangqin was crowded with more than 1,000 children, so that the dormitories and classrooms originally prepared for these elementary school children were far from enough, and it was too late for the school to expand.

As for the classrooms, I had to borrow the classrooms of Aurora University first, and there are not many students in the school anyway.

In addition, there is the urgent problem of a shortage of teachers

Rong Shangqin spent a high salary to hire more than 20 teachers from TJSH Guangzhou and other church schools, and in the face of more than a thousand ignorant children, Rong Shangqin had no choice but to discuss with Tang Guoan, before he found enough teachers, Tang Guoan could only send his professors to teach part-time, and the vice principal Zhong Wenyao also went to Aurora Middle School to assist Rong Shangqin, which finally barely coped with the past.

Although Tang Guoan and Rong Shangqin talked about the school, it can be said that there are many difficulties, and everywhere can be called a waste to be revived, and these two people are also busy all day long, but as soon as the two talk about the school, they are very excited, Qin Chuan can feel that they all have a blazing flame in their hearts, and they have infinite enthusiasm for the teaching work they are doing.

Qin Chuan, who was infected by the enthusiasm of the three of them, called Sister-in-law Wu and asked her to take a dozen bottles of beer specially brought to him by William Xiao from Germany, replace them with large goblets, and drink them with everyone in the room.

Zhong Wenyao took a sip of beer and said to Tang Guoan with a smile: "Brother Jiechen, why don't you tell Lord Qin the news of Brother Huanrong sooner?" ”

When Zhong Wenyao said this, Tang Guoan suddenly remembered, and while taking out a letter from the pocket of his suit, he said to Qin Chuan with a smile.

"Minghong, Huanrong has sent a letter from the United States, look at it."

As soon as he heard that Wu Huanrong, who was sent to the United States to establish contacts with various universities in the United States and send foreign students, Qin Chuan suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his hand to take the letter handed over by Tang Guoan, and hurriedly took out a thick stack of handwritten letterhead from the brown paper envelope and looked at it.

Wu Huanrong said in the letter that because of the enthusiastic assistance of Li Enfu, a newspaper editor in the United States, Ouyang Geng, a consul in San Francisco, Li Guipan, who is a businessman, and Zhang Kangren, a lawyer, and other children who have stayed in the country, he has handled affairs in the United States very smoothly, and has already contacted Harvard, Massachusetts, and Columbia University, and the other party has agreed to accept international students. But there are two conditions, one is that these students must meet their standards in order to officially enter their university studies; Second, whether it is an international student or a visiting professor sent to TJ, they have to charge a certain amount of fees.

These two conditions are normal things in Qin Chuan's opinion, and Qin Chuan immediately made a decision, asking Tang Guoan and Rong Shangqin to immediately start organizing the matter of studying in the United States, the more people the better. At the same time, Tang Guoan should be among the existing professors at Aurora University, and some professors should be selected in batches to go to the United States to complete their unfinished studies or further studies.

In Wu Huanrong's letter, there was another thing that made Qin Chuan a little excited.

That is, Wu Huanrong said that a university called Stanford in California, which had just opened the year before last, was the governor of California. Stanford funded the establishment of a memorial service to his son, who died young, and Stanford was very enthusiastic about establishing inter-university ties with Aurora University. Jordan went to San Francisco to find Wu Huanrong to contact. According to Wu Huanrong's letter, Stanford said that he is very willing to help these Chinese children study in the United States, and is willing to provide all conveniences for the children studying in California.

Wu Huanrong mentioned that the university called Stanford now has only 1,000 students and dozens of professors, and it is not well known in the United States.

Stanford, in later generations, was a prestigious university in the world, which was highly desirable. The most important thing is that, according to Qin Chuan's memory, this university will soon enter a financial crisis next year with the death of Stanford, and Aurora University can take this opportunity to get the benefits that other universities cannot give.

Qin Chuan explained to Tang Guoan with some excitement: "Jiechen, if you reply to Wu Huanrong, you can tell him that he wants to focus on contacting this Stanford University in the United States." ”

Tang Guoan had obviously read the letter a long time ago, and was a little puzzled by Qin Chuan's instructions, and was about to ask, but was intercepted by Qin Chuan.

"Jiechen, this Stanford University is also newly built, we can learn more from each other, and the closer we connect with them, the more it will help us."

Qin Chuan drank a glass of beer, tried to control the excitement in his heart, and said to Li Mingfang and Tang Guoan: "Jiechen, I still have an idea. ”

"I want to set up a board of trustees at Aurora University, with Lao Li as the chairman, and invite some people who are interested in establishing education to serve as sensibles, such as Ning Xingpu, Wu Tiaoqing, Yang Shaonong, etc., the foundation's funds will be completely borne by me in the early stage, and donations can also be accepted in the later stage, and the teaching and development of the school will be decided by the sensible after the fact。。。。。"

Qin Chuan's thoughts coincide with Tang Guoan's inner thoughts, and the same is true of foreign universities, but these people have never said it, seeing Qin Chuan say it first, Tang Guoan, Zhong Wenyao, Rong Shangqin and others couldn't help but light up their eyes.

Tang Guoan said to Qin Chuan with sincere excitement: "Ming Hong, a great Qing Dynasty, sincerely run education, you are the first person, with the support of your sincere education, I promise that Aurora University will be built into a famous school with many talents." ”

Qin Chuan nodded excitedly, and then began to talk warmly with the three of them.

Seeing that Tang Guoan and Qin Chuan were getting more and more enthusiastic about talking, Lu Dezhang, the director of the Yantuan Repair Institute, couldn't sit still, found a gap, and whispered in Qin Chuan's ear.

"My lord, what you asked, we have made a sample, you see when we go to the shooting range in Jinghai。。。。。。"
