Under the gaze of the entire audience, people finally saw Ye Hua, the legendary founder of Coastline, stepping into the makeshift press conference stage. He now has a brand new title, Principal Ye.
In addition to Ye Hua, those present at the press conference were Pang De, a senior official of the Party Committee of Coastline University, and Song Shifang, Director of the Academic Affairs Office.
The progress of the press conference was very straightforward, eliminating a lot of fuss. Ye Hua, who was sitting in the middle of the seat, knocked on the microphone and spoke calmly and confidently:
"Good morning, thank you all for coming to the meeting. Today is Teachers' Day, and I would like to say happy holidays to all the teachers."
After the simple and unpretentious opening remarks, Ye Hua got to the point: "Why can't our schools always cultivate outstanding talents?"
More than 6,000 people gathered at the open-air press conference, and everyone listened without saying a word. This sentence was a sentiment expressed by the famous Chinese scientist Qian Lao, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.
"None of the students we have trained over the years has achieved academic achievements comparable to those of the masters trained during the Republic of China." Ye Hua once again quoted Mr. Qian's widely circulated saying. He couldn't help but laugh when he said this.
: "Some people may say that is wrong, but you, Ye Hua, don't count? You became the youngest Nobel Prize winner in the world and founded one of the world's most disruptive high-tech companies..."
Ye Hua also boasted unceremoniously, and everyone present at the meeting couldn't help but smile and say nothing. No one could really refute what he said. He was able to take responsibility for what he said and was proud of himself.
"No."
Ye Hua shook his head slowly and said: "I graduated from the undergraduate program and did not go to graduate school. What I learned was not cultivated by the school."
After saying this, many students present and college students watching the live broadcast felt bad, as if they felt the deep contempt from Principal Ye.
Okay, okay, yes, you are the boss, you are awesome, mentally pass the tea to the boss.
Nowadays, no one will be jealous of Ye Hua, at least not in the group of college students. Because when the gap is too big, there is only emotion and admiration. If you can't compare, you won't feel ashamed because everyone can't compare. All I can say is
The boss is the boss.
When everyone heard that Ye Hua graduated from the undergraduate program, they couldn't help but think of Einstein. Brother Ai also graduated from the undergraduate program without going to graduate school. He even went to work in the Patent Office after graduation, which was equivalent to a job as a civil servant.
But that's it. Einstein almost completed the theory of relativity by himself. I am afraid that only great gods like Einstein, Dirac, and Heisenberg are from the same world as Ye Hua.
"Why?" Ye Hua's voice echoed throughout the audience: "I compiled a piece of data and found that about 80% of the top scorers in the college entrance examination in our best universities went to the School of Economics and Management, and after graduation they want to go to a financial company."
"University is a place to cultivate talents, especially in cultivating research-oriented talents. However, talents must come first and then talents. If all the "people" go to the School of Economics and Management, they will all go to the School of Economics and Management.
How do universities cultivate talents for financial companies? 80% of high-quality students go to the School of Economics and Management, so what will be trained in the end will definitely be only outstanding white-collar workers and gold-collar workers, not outstanding scientists."
"In addition, according to the recently released Kyoto University 2022 graduate employment report, looking at the employment units of Kyoto University graduates, only 134 of the 3,000 graduates who have reached a tripartite agreement have entered scientific research and design units, accounting for only
4.45%. In other words, even in the 'top universities' like Kyoto University, scientific research is not the mainstream choice for graduates, and their mainstream choices are still state-owned enterprises and institutions, accounting for 29% and 21% respectively.
%.”
"Then what is the problem? Why do outstanding students want to go to schools of economics and management and financial companies? What is the problem?"
After raising this question, Ye Hua paused for a while. Whether it was the participants at the scene, the parents watching the live broadcast, or people from all walks of life, they couldn't help but think deeply.
At the end, Ye Hua spoke again:
"The current basic research capabilities of universities are too poor and cannot be transformed. It is not that there is a lack of transformation, but that there is nothing to transform. If there is nothing to transform, of course it cannot be 'monetized'. People who engage in basic research also have to make a living. If it is because of
On the contrary, scientific research makes one's life miserable, which is of course not conducive to the university's future admissions work and admission guidance, so everyone goes to the School of Economics and Management and financial companies."
At this point, Ye Hua looked around the scene with a microphone and smiled calmly: "In fact, in the final analysis, the problem lies in one word, money. I think that to untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Since the problem is money, then the problem can also be solved.
It must start with money.”
money……
It was easy to say that, and the people in the education field present scoffed inwardly, but then they were dumbfounded.
"So our Coastline University obtains funding through Coastline Group. Coastline Group will provide more than 165 billion yuan in funding for Coastline University every year. Our goal is Coastline University's per capita scientific research funding of 17 million yuan, which is the highest level of per capita scientific research in the country.
The funding is more than 10 times that of 1.5 million yuan, and it is also the highest in the world, and more than four times that of Johns Hopkins University, which ranked first in the world last year (2.4 billion US dollars last year)."
But when Ye Hua said these words, it was like a depth charge being detonated, which shocked the entire education world. Everyone in the audience was stunned and dumbfounded.
People in the education sector are not calm anymore. They are really not calm anymore. They are even going to explode.
Many people in the education field almost unanimously had the same idea at this moment: Your university has a budget of 165 billion for a year, how can you spend it all? The most expensive university in the country has a yearly budget of less than 300.
Billions, how can you spend them all? How can you spend them all? How can you spend them all?
Many university presidents and other leaders are actually paying attention. When they see these astronomical figures, they feel really unbalanced. While they are envious, they also feel the tremendous pressure from Coastline University.
Ye Hua said these words at the press conference without any hesitation. 165 billion came out of his mouth and it felt like 16.5 million was so little. Frankly speaking, 16.5 million is too much for ordinary people to spend in a lifetime.
The numbers are astronomical.
After a while, he said with a calm smile: "Although Coastline University is a comprehensive university, its positioning is more towards a research university. Our focus is mainly on three core aspects. First, for those who are interested in going to the School of Economics and Management, etc.
Students in basic subjects other than popular subjects will be given more preferential treatment to reduce their academic burden, and I will read one of the specific preferential treatment here...the tuition fee will be free of charge."
