Chapter 397 Donation
As Gao Yuan's speech ended, the audience's applause lasted for at least ten minutes.
"Senior Gao Yuan's speech was much more interesting than the principal's."
"That's right, the principal can only use some clichés and follow the procedures. I heard that the same rhetoric was used last year and has not been changed."
"Senior Gao Yuan's advice is still useful. Unfortunately, I will graduate soon and am still single."
"Then why don't you find a girlfriend during college?"
"Gan, am I not looking for it? I can't find it!"
"..."
Gao Yuan's suggestions are far more pleasant to listen to than those preaching speeches, and are more likely to be empathized with by students.
Growing up, they have been tired of hearing those preaching speeches all day long, and sometimes they even develop a rebellious mentality.
That's why the applause of these students lasted so long.
The celebration ended with a dinner hosted by Zhejiang University.
A group of senior school leaders booked a five-star hotel.
If they dared to be so extravagant and wasteful in normal times, they would definitely be questioned at the social level.
But who dares to question them today?
You must know that those alumni have donated more than 10 billion to Zhejiang University.
In comparison, what does a five-star hotel cost hundreds of thousands a night? The interest earned by putting this money in the bank for one day is more than this.
And they are all corporate bosses, people with status and status.
It’s impossible to arrange a dinner party for someone in an ordinary restaurant, chain hotel like Hanting, or Super 8, right?
The five-star standard is just right.
"Mr. Gao Yuan, we are old, and you are a role model for young people." Principal Huang praised, "I was deeply touched by what you said on the stage. Today's students must go through some things. "
"I have read an analysis. Dozens of suicides occur almost every year in these domestic universities. Most of these suicides are related to love. These students have been in the ivory tower before, and they are exposed to There are too few external things and the emotions are too weak.”
If you suffer a little setback in love, you will seek life and death.
Most colleges and universities will not take the initiative to discuss college romance. They do not support it but do not oppose it and let these things develop.
Today's speech by Gao Yuan made Principal Huang think a lot.
"Principal, I think most schools are indeed a bit conservative in this matter." Gao Yuan put forward his own suggestion, "The domestic system is from elementary school to high school. Management has always been very strict, but suddenly it becomes looser when it comes to university." Because in the eyes of most people, college students are basically adults and have their own judgment and analysis capabilities.”
"In fact, this is not the case. These students still lack effective judgment and are still confused about many things. The university system needs to be reformed. We cannot change other schools, but we can change Zhejiang University. I suggest that the school can add some romance, gender Educational Courses.”
"Let more students understand this knowledge. There are not a few dangerous incidents caused by dropping out of school due to pregnancy or going to small clinics for abortions every year. Even at Zhejiang University, such things happen from time to time."
"This situation is unavoidable and must be guided to minimize losses."
"Secondly, the rigidity of the university system must keep pace with the times. To give the simplest example, the course of employment guidance for college students after graduation is supposed to provide guidance to college students, but the content of the course actually allows students to learn about employment. The meaning, the definition of employment, the connotation of employment...this course is just superficial.”
"Why can't we really provide help to students? For example, explain the labor contract to students, tell them how to deal with bullying in the workplace, and how to appeal if the company arrears wages..."
Gao Yuan believes that these things are truly practical. Students should be exposed to a large amount of information about society when they are in college, instead of the school not caring about anything and only being responsible for teaching.
"Classmate Gao Yuan, your suggestion makes sense. I will hold a meeting with the school's senior management to discuss it after I return." Principal Huang nodded.
This sentence is definitely not perfunctory, but many decisions must be made through consultation to make up for shortcomings and improve the system.
After all, Gao Yuan just proposed an idea.
To implement this idea, those at the top level need to come up with practical measures.
"Besides, does Gao Yuan have any other suggestions?" Principal Huang asked.
"No, our Zhejiang University has done very well in other aspects." Gao Yuan said.
"Hahaha, our Zhejiang University is tolerant and open. We welcome alumni to give us suggestions. We will also understand and consider the suggestions of alumni." Principal Huang said with a smile, "Let's go, I will take you to meet other alumni of our school. "
Principal Huang led Gao Yuan around the venue, and soon he came to an old man in his sixties.
"This is Academician Ouyang from Zhejiang University. He studies aerospace." Principal Huang said.
"Hello, Academician Ouyang."
Gao Yuan lowered his posture and stretched out his right hand.
These people are the real warriors of the country. It is precisely because of their existence that the Huaxia Kingdom has its current status.
"Mr. Gao, you're welcome." Academician Ouyang smiled and shook hands with Gao Yuan, "I heard that you plan to engage in aviation technology with Musk. I admire your approach."
Academician Ouyang said from the bottom of his heart, "Currently, most aviation scientific research projects are led by international-level forces, and there are very few private individuals involved in the aviation field."
In the final analysis, it is too expensive to engage in aviation technology, and ordinary people simply do not have such financial support.
Although most people do not know about Gao Yuan's cooperation with Musk, these experts in the aviation field have more or less heard some gossip.
"I am not that noble, mainly because I am really interested in aviation technology." Gao Yuan said, "The universe is vast, and the planet we live on is not even a grain of sand in the universe. When I was a child, I always wondered if there were aliens in the world and whether there were planets suitable for human survival."
"Curiosity is the best teacher." Academician Ouyang said, "Every time I see the night sky, I am always amazed at the beauty of the starry sky, and the endless starry sky, humans cannot even set foot on the nearest planet. As for the aliens mentioned by classmate Gao Yuan, I think there should be aliens in this vast universe."
"And the existence of aliens is not terrible, the absence of aliens is the most terrible."
The existence of aliens means that the emergence of human beings is not an accidental event.
If there are no aliens, it is likely to prove that human beings are fish in a water tank, and this world may not be real.
In the vast universe, even the smallest probability will appear.
Gao Yuan and Academician Ouyang talked more and more deeply, and finally involved some real aviation technology.
This is the most cutting-edge theory, and some of it is not very understood by Academician Ouyang.
When hearing these technologies from Gao Yuan, Academician Ouyang's eyes lit up, and sometimes he would think for a few minutes before communicating.
Principal Huang naturally couldn't listen to these things, because his major was not in aviation.
When discussing things like aliens, he could still interject a few words.
But after exchanging professional knowledge, Principal Huang left tactfully.
Gao Yuan talked a lot with Academician Ouyang, and he was still reluctant to leave until the end of the banquet.
...
The next morning.
Although the anniversary celebration of Zhejiang University was over, most alumni still stayed in Zhejiang University.
Some wanted to walk around Zhejiang University and taste the food of the year.
Some alumni also found like-minded friends and planned to have in-depth exchanges and commercial cooperation.
And some alumni wanted to get close to Gao Yuan, so they stayed.
At this time, Gao Yuan was in the conference room of Zhejiang University.
Yesterday, Gao Yuan donated 10 billion to Zhejiang University, which caused a stir on the Internet.
Today is the time to sign the donation agreement.
At the meeting, President Huang made a grand speech on behalf of Zhejiang University, welcoming Gao Yuan's donation to Zhejiang University.
Then, President Huang asked Gao Yuan if he had any other ideas about this donation.
For example, setting up grants and scholarships in Gao Yuan's name.
"President Huang, this is how I think about the use of this 10 billion." Gao Yuan said, "1 billion of it will be used to support the development of the school, such as purchasing some advanced equipment and machinery for the school, and establishing a grant worth 300 million."
"I roughly calculated that the bank's large deposits can give about 4%, which is about 12 million per year. According to the amount of 5,000 yuan per person, 2,400 students will be provided with grants to help them complete their studies."
Among these 2,400 students, there are undergraduates, masters and doctors.
There are about 60,000 students in Zhejiang University, and nearly 24% of the students will receive grants, which is still a high probability.
"The remaining 9 billion will be divided into three parts, which will be invested in artificial intelligence, robots, and chips. Our Yuanfang Group can cooperate with Zhejiang University to set up Yuanfang Class."
"As long as you are from Yuanfang Class and have excellent exams, you can work in Yuanfang Group."
This is an alternative school-enterprise cooperation.
Helping Zhejiang University to cultivate talents can also increase the employment rate of Zhejiang University.
Gao Yuan has his own concerns. China still has too few talents in this area.
The science and technology community as a whole is still dominated by Western countries. If it is one-to-one, China will not lose, but China is facing dozens of Western countries.
These Western countries are in collusion and target China at many levels.
So it is necessary to vigorously cultivate scientific researchers in our own country.
Although there is a loyalty card, Gao Yuan still does not trust the people from Western countries who have been poached.
He hopes that the backbone of Yuanfang Group in the future will all be Chinese nationals, or even from Zhejiang University.
After hearing Gao Yuan's request, Principal Huang's hanging heart was put down.
He thought Gao Yuan would make some unconventional requests, but he didn't expect that it was only about scientific research.
This is easy to handle.
"No problem!" Principal Huang agreed immediately, "We will handle the scholarship as soon as possible. As for the three majors of artificial intelligence, robotics, and chips, in addition to Gao Yuan's sponsorship, Zhejiang University will also strongly support it."
These three industries represent the direction of the future.
Especially chip technology, which has been blocked by foreign countries.
Although domestic chips have been developed, there is still a big gap compared with foreign chips.
We must catch up and break through the blockade of Western countries.
"I plan to set up three Yuanfang classes, each class will recruit about 60 people, and the college entrance examination scores of these 60 people must be ranked in the top 500 in each province. After entering the Yuanfang class, design a unique teaching system and hire academic experts from home and abroad to tutor and teach."
"In terms of scientific research, it is deeply consistent with Yuanfang Group."
As long as there is money, those academic masters will be happy.
So far, most of Gao Yuan's purpose of coming to Zhejiang University has been achieved.
"There is one more thing, President Huang, I plan to stay at Zhejiang University for a while." Gao Yuan said, "Since graduation, I feel that I lack knowledge and want to have in-depth exchanges with some big guys."
The so-called big guys naturally refer to those academicians.
Ordinary teachers can't teach Gao Yuan.
Those academicians have been deeply involved in the industry for many years and have their own unique insights in many aspects.
Gao Yuan has benefited a lot from communicating with these academicians.
In addition, Gao Yuan also wants to build a good relationship with these academicians, and finally let these academicians come to Yuanfang Group to work part-time, and help solve Yuanfang Group's technical problems when necessary.
"You are most welcome!" Principal Huang said quickly, "I originally wanted to hire Gao Yuan as an honorary professor of our school to teach students in the business administration and MBA classes."
"I didn't expect you to want to stay at Zhejiang University. How about this? In the afternoon... no, when my meeting is over, I will have someone arrange accommodation for you. It will be a professor-level villa."
"In addition, you can freely choose the course time."
If the news that Gao Yuan is an honorary professor of Zhejiang University is released, I am afraid that many candidates will apply for Zhejiang University this year.
This is a golden signboard for enrollment!
The admissions office can save a lot of effort.
In addition, Gao Yuan donated 10 billion to Zhejiang University, and the admissions office will not have to work for several years.
"I mainly want to learn and discuss with some professors in scientific research." Gao Yuan said, "MBA courses, I will go back and give a few lessons when I have time."
"No problem! It depends on your time."
Principal Huang said.
As long as Gao Yuan can agree, it is more important than anything else.
...
Next, the donation ceremony officially began.
Under the attention of the school's top management and media reporters, Gao Yuan signed a donation agreement with President Huang of Gudu University.
"Click, click, click..."
The reporters pressed the shutter to freeze this moment.
Not long after, this scene appeared on the Internet, making the presidents of other domestic universities envious.
It is really a blessing for the school to have such a celebrity.
Peking University and Tsinghua University in Beijing.
After reading the news, President Wang immediately made a call, hoping to hire Gao Yuan as a visiting professor at the school.
He didn't know that President Huang of Zhejiang University had already arranged these things, and Gao Yuan was destined not to go to other schools.
After the donation ceremony, a group of reporters surrounded him.
"Mr. Gao Yuan, why did you donate 10 billion to Zhejiang University?"
"Mr. Gao Yuan, you donated so much money, what do you think about this matter?"
Faced with the questions of many reporters, President Huang of Zhejiang University simply asked Gao Yuan's opinion and held a press conference at the school.
