Chapter 778: The Difficulties of Peking University
Chapter 778
Li Cong has always neither liked nor hated people with higher education. What he dislikes is that they are bookish and philistine. In Li Cong's eyes, these researchers should not deal with money, but in this society Who doesn't deal with money here? What I don't hate is their other half's research spirit. After all, the progress of this society still depends on them.
"Hello, Professor Wang, thanks to you for taking care of our family." Li Cong said this because he didn't want to put himself in the perspective of an investor, and also wanted him to know that he was just a family member of a researcher. come here.
"Hehe, Mr. Li was joking. I don't need to take care of Jianzhong. He is an elite in our research institute. He has participated in many of our projects. To be honest, Jianzhong is a real worker among bureaucrats like them. Home." One sentence changed Li Cong's view of this professor a lot. After all, many professors are fake and don't want to have anything to do with these bureaucrats. Those who export are much stronger.
Generally speaking, the bureaucratic children of Peking University would not come to this kind of place. They should all be in those departments that are not very academically demanding, and they can play around with lip service. After all, they are here to dawdle. They didn’t come here for real study. They needed Peking University’s halo to gild them. Similarly, Peking University also needed the help of their father and brother. It can be said that each needs.
"Teacher, Mr. Li is very interested in my project. Didn't you say that our research institute has insufficient funds? If Mr. Li is willing to invest in our research institute, then my project can continue to be developed. Is it?" Liu Jianzhong said a little excitedly, in fact, he is a pure researcher at this time, but Li Cong is a little bit overwhelmed, your research should be honest research, these things like capital injection can be used by you Well, if you want to get involved, you will be on both sides.
"Hehe, your project is very promising. If it is really successful, it will bring at least tens of billions in return. Mr. Li is a successful businessman, how could he not see this?" Several people said as they walked. , although the research institute looks not small from the outside, but this reception room is not big, it can only accommodate less than ten people. It seems that the biggest place in the whole building should be the laboratory just now. I have been quite satisfied with it, and have not engaged in those beautiful facade projects.
I always feel happy to hear others praise my research projects, especially my teacher. It doesn't matter if others don't recognize me in this life, but two people have to admit that one is my teacher and the other is my father. It has always been Liu Jianzhong's idea, so there is no need to think about it with his father. If his research is unsuccessful, he will never admit his ability. After all, his idea is to let him join the army or enter the political circle. In business, it's a pity that I don't have that brain at all.
Tens of billions? This guy really dares to speak. If Liu Jian's project is successful, it is estimated that there will be tens of billions of income.
But you also said that such a research project has a low probability of success, so what should you do if it fails? Wouldn't the funds I invested be destroyed?
"Professor Wang, I mainly want to ask about the policy of our research institute. What is the regulation for me to participate in this research? Although I have cooperated with your school a lot in the past, but for this kind of direct participation It should be said that this is the first time for a specific project, and I don’t know much about it yet, so I wonder if you can introduce it to me?” Li Cong took a sip of Peking University’s tea, and usually drank his own several thousand yuan a tael I didn't think much of it when I was drinking tea, but now I suddenly feel that my original tea tastes better after drinking this.
Professor Wang naturally knew what Li Cong meant when he said that. He was telling him not to open his mouth like a lion. He still had the school above him. Although he had the right to make decisions about this project, if the school really intervened, his right was It will be erased immediately. We don’t know how the relationship between Li Cong and the school leaders is. Maybe Yuan Group donates more than 100 million yuan to the school every year. We know that. Although other companies also donate, most of them have various Of course, the energy group also has various commercial interests, but it is the enterprise that gives the money the most and obtains the least profit in the most timely manner.
Professor Wang briefly introduced the current scientific research policy of Peking University to Li Cong. For this type of project, the general project leader can handle it without the approval of the school. After all, Peking University has more than 100 scientific research projects approved every year. If it is all signed by the principal, it is estimated that he will not have to do other things for a year, just negotiate with these entrepreneurs.
There are generally two ways of cooperation, one is capital injection, each party takes half of the shares, and the other is full buyout, where the investor is responsible for everything, and Peking University is only responsible for research, but has no ownership of this project. Most of the projects choose the first type, but there are also some individuals who choose the second type.
As far as Liu Jianzhong's project is concerned, the school naturally wants to choose the second option. This project is not a profitable project in the eyes of Peking University, because his investment is too huge, and there is no guarantee of future returns. If someone can buy it The best thing is, after Professor Wang finished his thoughts, Li Cong knew that you just want to make money and not lose money when you co-operate with Peking University. However, Peking University has always done this with its strong scientific research capabilities. You Although rich, there are many wealthy people in this society, but there are not many with such strong scientific research capabilities. Our Peking University project is also a golden phoenix, so we don't have to worry about marrying.
Li Cong also has to accept this cooperation method. Besides, this guy has no interest in cooperating with others. It is better to buy it directly now. Li Cong doesn't even want people from Peking University to manipulate this project. Isn't it because he needs scientific researchers? Well, I can recruit all over the world. Of course, Li Cong still has his own selfishness. Although the AIDS virus is a hurdle that cannot be overcome on the entire earth, it is not a problem at all with Tektronix. With the help of Tektronix , researching that thing is as simple as eating.
"Professor Wang, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. I'm going to buy this project. With my relationship with Peking University, Professor Wang should be able to give me a discount." Although Professor Wang said that the policy is the most favorable, in his heart I don’t think so. For a boss as big as you, if you lower the price, I’m sorry for your money. Besides, we researchers are really living in poverty.
Li Cong's hearing is much better than the average person's, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hear the rapid heartbeat of Long Yuting last time, and now he heard that there seemed to be a lot of people coming outside. Sure enough, Professor Wang hadn't spoken yet. The door of the small meeting room opened, and the person who came in first was Li Cong, whom he knew. He is currently the president of Peking University and the deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, Zhu Qiming.
"Hehe, Mr. Li is here, our Peking University is really full of splendor." It turned out that the management of Peking University heard that there was a Hongqi car from the energy group. For such a red flag car, I, a vice-ministerial-level principal, don’t have so much time to meet such people, but the photo of Li Cong getting off the car just now has been taken, and now Peking University’s BBs has published "Energy How can Zhu Qiming, as the principal, not know about the huge news of the group president visiting Peking University.
As soon as Zhu Qiming entered the door, Li Cong knew that this matter had really developed to a place he least expected, but he still had to have the courtesy he deserved. No matter how strong he was, he had to give others face Ah, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake.
"Hehe, President Zhu is so polite. I came to Peking University this time for personal reasons. I didn't want to disturb you scholars. You must know that in my life creed, the most respected are you big intellectuals. Yes, if I bother you with my trivial matters, I feel like I'm committing a crime." Li Cong's flattery just hit these people's itches, and what these professors hope to see most is that they are better than these people. Rich people are superior, but the current society does not give them such a high social status. Li Cong's words undoubtedly made them very happy.
"Mr. Li is really too polite. Speaking of which, you are still an honorary professor of our Peking University, and you have made great contributions to our Peking University. If you come to us for something, you should say hello to us old guys. I think It’s a little small here, why don’t you go to the conference room of Peking University to talk, and I’ll take Mr. Li to visit Peking University along the way, there are many projects donated by Mr. Li.” Although Zhu Qiming is nearly sixty years old, But he was quick to speak, and Li Cong also liked dealing with such people, so he happily followed, leaving Professor Wang with an unwilling face.
Liu Jianzhong naturally followed, but Professor Wang is not up to the level. Although you are the person in charge of this project, all the leaders in the school have come here, so you just follow the instructions honestly. Besides, there is a biological As for the dean of the department, this kind of showy thing naturally has to be done by the rightful owner, whoever told you that you are a deputy.
When Li Cong came in just now, the students hadn’t attended class, so there were quite a lot of people on campus. Now it’s the regular class time in the afternoon. Everyone is either in class or going to the library. The number of people on the road is obviously higher than before. Much less.
"Hey, I must pay attention to changing cars when I come to Peking University in the future. This car is too conspicuous." After going downstairs, Li Cong really felt a little redundant when he saw his red flag car.
"Mr. Li just changed his car. Can he change his appearance? Many people in our school know Mr. Li." The speaker was Zhang Lan, the vice president of Peking University, a rising political star who was just forty years old. Sitting on the position of vice president of Peking University at the age of ten, the future is boundless.
"Principal Zhang is really flattering me. I'm not a Hong Kong and Taiwan star. How could I have such a high reputation? I once read a report in the newspaper, it seems that your school invited two sisters from Taiwan to come. The school gave a speech about beauty, and the situation was empty at that time, so I didn’t have that much appeal.” Zhu Qiming and his leaders couldn’t help but blame this guy for being too rude when Li Cong mentioned the incident that ruined Peking University’s reputation. Be merciful, people don't slap people in the face when they beat people, you guys say it in front of all our Standing Committee members, it's really too shameless.
Li Cong also seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what he said. Why did everyone seem to be a little unhappy, so he quickly picked a specific topic and missed it. By the way, after the news was broadcast, it seemed that all sectors of society This kind of behavior of Peking University has been condemned for a while, and a school leader who is in charge of this matter was warned once by the party because of this.
"Mr. Li, the gymnasium over there was newly assisted by the Energy Group this year. It was completely built according to the specifications of a world-class gymnasium. It will be ready for use next month. I still have to thank you on behalf of all the teachers and students of Peking University." "The vice principal, Zhang Lan, saw some silence, and quickly said something that everyone was interested in.
Li Cong followed Zhang Lan's gaze. It would cost at least 200 to 300 million yuan to build such a big stadium. To be honest, it looks like the Bird's Nest from the outside. I don't even know this, so I should say Is your group too big, or are you too irresponsible?
"Principal Zhang, isn't your Peking University already very tight on land? How can you spare such a large piece of land to build such a huge gymnasium? I think the area is at least tens of thousands of square meters." Peking University is a Although the older school occupied a large area at that time, if it wanted to build such a huge gymnasium, it definitely could not be built just because it was built. The relocation at that time should be a big project.
In fact, Peking University’s gymnasium was really due to be built at that time. The original equipment was a bit small and old, but there was no room inside Peking University. However, the aid funds from the energy group were what they had been fighting for. They had all the funds in place. It would be too embarrassing to talk about it because of the land. Zhu Qiming, the president of Peking University at the time, immediately decided to demolish the four old office buildings. Let these teachers bear with it and move them all to other administrative buildings. Temporarily compressing the office space of teachers was also agreed by most teachers at that time.
After listening to Vice President Zhang Lan's explanation, Li Cong took another look at the teachers of Peking University. How many of these teachers have teacher ethics? How many can make way for the students' gymnasium? According to the current situation in the country, some teachers can no longer be called the most glorious professions under the sun, but at Peking University, Li Cong seems to have seen this matter again. In this regard, after looking at the current office buildings, Li Cong deeply felt the rudimentary office conditions. The four demolished office buildings had thousands of teaching staff, and now the new office buildings could only accommodate 3,000 people. Thousands of people seem very crowded, and some offices are twice as large as before, and it is very inconvenient to get in and out. This is a place to contribute science and technology to the vast number of people. These teachers should not be treated like this.
In fact, it’s not that the above did not give Peking University the money to build an office building, it’s just that the teachers of Peking University decided to use all the money for scientific research. Peking University can receive billions of state funds every year, plus various donations. We have obtained nearly tens of billions of RMB in funds, but the school’s operation and scientific research are all major items that cost money. Moreover, after Zhu Qiming became the principal recently, he has made great efforts to build the school’s internal software and hardware, so the funding gap is very huge. , This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Qiming is so happy to see Li Cong. In his eyes, Li Cong is the God of Wealth.
Li Cong actually inspected it. All the reforms of Peking University are reducing the teaching staff, and the students benefit the most. Of course, this is not a superficial phenomenon, and it is true. Immediately, I called Gonpo, the Minister of Charity Department, to inquire about this matter. Although the group's charity funds have increased significantly this year, most of them have been used by Li Cong as African security funds, which can be used for Peking University. Compared with last year's comparison, it is more than 10 million less, less than 90 million.
After listening to Li Cong's report, several school leaders couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Li Cong saw that these guys were not treacherous people, and your happiness and anger were all displayed on their faces. It’s just a group of scholars in Tuen Mun. If you are facing a hurting person who has no charity, maybe you don’t want to donate now. It’s good if they don’t ask for the previous donation.
"Mr. Li, we have always remembered the energy group's help to our Peking University. You see, this is our internal Peking University newspaper. We have always directly published the charitable donations of the energy group. Our graduates of Peking University have There are quite a few people who have entered the energy group, and we have indeed encountered difficulties. I hope that your group will give more consideration to our Peking University and help us a little more." After visiting several places, Li Cong also understood the lack of money in Peking University. A little more, the principal Zhu Qiming had no choice but to ask Li Cong for more help with a thick face. Usually, when the Beijing Branch of the Energy Group came to inspect, everything was done in accordance with the principles. Many of them are face-saving, and it is useless to talk to them directly. This time, it is very easy to catch the big boss. If there is nothing to talk about, I, the principal, can really resign.
