Chapter 4168 A Choice Without a Choice
"Also, the construction of Beishan is in full swing, and it's too late for us to join now."
"..."
After a brief silence, the crowd immediately exploded.
It is not in their present interest, from a profit standpoint, or from any other standpoint, to make Princeton an academic city.
There is no way, the investment is too much, and the return may not be great.
Now that the construction of Beishan has begun to take shape, even if they join now, it is difficult to surpass Beishan.
The first crab was eaten by Beishan.
The rest are small fish and shrimp, which are tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.
Ysgrub was not surprised by the opposition from the crowd.
Long before he announced it, he guessed that everyone would strongly oppose it.
There is no way, after all, the investment to build an academic city will not be too small.
A few tens of billions, that's rustling water, tens of billions, it's not impossible.
However, Isgrubb didn't have too many worries.
He is confident that he can convince the directors of Princeton.
"Directors, please calm down. Everyone, listen to me." Isgrub raised his hands and pressed them down. After everyone quieted down, Isgrub spoke slowly: "Everyone Dong, just before, I have received the news."
"We are not alone in the world at Princeton in carrying out the Academic City project."
"Take the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in our country. As far as I know, Raphael has even prepared a plan for the academic city."
"It will be officially implemented in a few days."
"Masters, the reason why Princeton can become a world-renowned school and a world academic mecca."
“It all depends on the excellent faculty on campus.”
"Everyone knows the attractiveness of Academic City, and Professor Atiyah and Rogge are the best examples."
"Of course, everyone may think it doesn't matter. After all, there are only a small number of professors who are willing to travel thousands of miles to China."
"But now MIT is rebuilding the academic city. Once MIT is successfully built, its sphere of influence will radiate across the country."
"Who can guarantee that our Princeton will not be affected?" Isgrub said seriously.
Yes, although the attraction of Beishan is strong enough, due to various reasons, there are always relatively few people who are willing to go to Beishan.
But MIT is different.
First of all, he is a world-class prestigious school. In the comprehensive ranking, he is even above Princeton.
Once the Massachusetts Institute of Technology completes the construction of the academic city first, countless professors are bound to come here.
There will definitely be a massive loss of faculty at Princeton.
Can Princeton, with its name alone, become a world famous school?Still qualified to be called an academic palace?
Do not!
The honor on Princeton is bound to disappear!
Therefore, in order to maintain competitiveness, whether it is active or passive, Princeton must build an academic city!
quiet!
Deathly quiet!
The moment Yisgrub's voice fell, the entire meeting room suddenly fell silent.
Although they didn't want to admit it, what they had to admit was that Yisgrub's words did make sense.
Once let MIT build successfully.
Who can guarantee that Princeton will not be affected by it?
No one can guarantee that.
Now there are two paths before them.
Either follow the construction of Academic City, or stop the construction of MIT.
