Lu Hongbin’s main job recently is to communicate with the academician on algorithms and do a good job in introducing them.
Lu Hongbin said while drinking tea: "The introduced academician is called Du Guoliang, and he is one of the people we are currently in contact with."
"One?"
Chen Dongcheng noticed Lu Hongbin's wording and was a little surprised by how big his appetite was.
Lu Hongbin said with a smile: "This year we received a budget of 1.6 billion from the Pengcheng government.
Looking at the major universities across the country, we are not that high. Our Shenzhen University started late, and we only relied on the support of the local government to achieve what we have today.
All we can do is live up to the trust and dedication of our leaders.”
This is not because Lu Hongbin is flattering, but because without the support of the Pengcheng government, Shenzhen University would never have achieved such results.
Shenzhen University is notoriously unpopular in Guangdong Province, because Pengcheng’s finances directly skip Guangdong Province, and Guangdong Province will certainly not allocate funds to Shenzhen University to support construction and development.
Even so, Shenzhen University still has to listen to the instructions of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education.
That’s why it happened that this year’s enrollment, there were only more than a thousand students from outside the province, and the other more than 5,000 students were from within the province.
When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves.
Lu Hongbin and Chen Qingquan may have a deeper understanding of this sentence.
Many people despise Shenzhen University as a second-tier university.
But in the 1980s, Shenzhen University was the number one scholar everywhere, and it also had its glory days.
Lu Hongbin sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, Principal Chen was able to bear the pressure and we finally got through it.
The year you enrolled was considered Principal Chen's first year in office, and your appearance was a good omen for Principal Chen."
Shenzhen University has taken great steps this year. Construction of the Xili campus has begun, academicians have been introduced, and investment in scientific research has increased.
1.6 billion may seem like a lot, but there are many places where the money cannot be spent.
Chen Dongcheng sat in the office for a while and said, "Uncle Lu, I plan to donate 30 million to my alma mater to fund the training of outstanding talents."
"You want to donate money?"
Lu Hongbin was stunned: "Aren't your company's funds tight?"
"I earned this money by investing elsewhere."
Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "As long as my alma mater doesn't mind that my donation is too small."
"That's a lot."
Lu Hongbin shook his head and said: "Except for school celebrations, we rarely receive a single donation of over 100 million.
We were able to donate 300 million last year, which is already amazing.
Ranked seventh among universities across the country in terms of alumni donations.”
"That's good, I will also do my best to contribute to the development of my alma mater.
I hope this money can be used for good purposes instead of others jokingly calling us Kaizi."
Lu Hongbin was a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Don't worry, as a donor, you have the right to supervise your donation.
I will definitely respond to your suggestion truthfully to Principal Chen."
The donation of 30 million yuan is equivalent to Chen Dongcheng alone donating one-tenth of the total alumni donations of Shenzhen University last year.
To put it more vividly, Chen Dongcheng’s 30 million donation ranked among the top 40 universities in the country last year.
Alumni donations are the norm in top universities in Europe and the United States.
For example, three-fifths of Harvard University's educational funds come from alumni donations, and two-thirds of Yale University's educational funds also come from alumni donations.
In addition to financial allocations, if Shenzhen University wants to develop, every alumni donation is very important.
There is a reason why Chen Dongcheng said that Shenzhen University is a good man.
The alumni of Shenzhen University are very helpful, and the government is very helpful, but the leaders’ vision is still a bit lacking.
Relying on their wealth and wealth, they recruited talents from all over the world, but in the end, all they recruited were professors who were employed as part-time teachers.
Although the economy is strong, Shenzhen University has not achieved the same economic development speed as Pengcheng due to its exaggerated development.
Instead, it was surpassed in all aspects by the later-built Southern University of Science and Technology.
Southern University of Science and Technology is more pragmatic, and its talent team is all full-time professors. This is worth learning from SUSTech.
Otherwise, it is better to keep your feet on the ground instead of saying that false reputations can kill people.
Not to mention that Chen Dongcheng was originally the internal candidate of Shenzhen University to speak at the freshman ceremony.
Even if not, with this 30 million donation, Chen Qingquan and others will definitely arrange a speaking opportunity for Chen Dongcheng.
Half of the 30 million donation will be used to fund scientific research on algorithms, and the other half will be used to recruit full-time professors.
Chen Qingquan learned that Chen Dongcheng was going to donate 30 million to Shenzhen University and quickly held a meeting.
At the meeting, a discussion was held about Chen Dongcheng’s donation.
When Lu Hongbin mentioned Chen Dongcheng's reaction to the acupuncture professor, the vice principals present looked a little embarrassed.
They were the ones who made the decision in the first place, but now when someone points it out, they get slapped in the face.
Chen Qingquan looked at the group of people and said nothing, coughed slightly and said: "I am responsible for this matter. As the principal, I did not play a correct supervisory role.
I will proactively admit my mistakes to my leaders, and I hope everyone will take this as a warning."
"Principal Chen, the decision is not made by you alone, we are all responsible."
Lu Hongbin said quickly as he would have something to do.
Chen Qingquan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if we make mistakes, as long as we accept opinions with an open mind and work hard to make corrections, the development of Shenzhen University will still move in a good direction."
Lu Hongbin and others quickly agreed: "Principal Chen is right, as long as we make corrections in time, it is not too late."
"The next most important thing, everyone should be aware of it, is that we have set aside 300 million in scientific research funds for the two academicians and established a laboratory.
Among them, President Lu should follow up on the introduction of Academician Du Guoliang and report any problems to me as soon as possible."
Lu Hongbin nodded: "Okay."
Chen Qingquan continued: "We also need to seriously deal with the matter of the previous batch of temporary professors.
We cannot be blinded by false reputation. I plan to spend 300 million to introduce full-time professors.
For the specific proportion, each college will make a budget and report it to me."
A vice-principal raised his hand and asked: "Principal Chen, the construction of Xili Campus is imminent.
Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for us to spend large sums of money to bring in full-time professors?”
"If we don't introduce them at this time, will we see the talents being snatched away by our competitors?"
Chen Qingquan was still very decisive and made the final decision: "The matter of recruiting talents has been decided. We must not let the alumni who donated it feel cold under any circumstances. Let's implement it as soon as possible."
After the meeting, Lu Hongbin sent Chen Dongcheng a WeChat message to briefly explain what happened at the meeting.
In the afternoon, in the school conference room.
A reporter took photos and held a small donation ceremony.
Chen Dongcheng and Chen Qingquan signed a donation letter and took a group photo.
The photo was posted on the school forum, triggering many comments from alumni.
"Holy shit, a college student donated 30 million to his alma mater?"
"What kind of god appears in our university!"
"The alma mater is so awesome. Talents like this can win a lot of honors for Shenzhen University!"
"It's awesome. Seniors who graduated in 2008 might have the opportunity to interview at my junior's company. I won't say it anymore. I want to cry..."
"Congratulations to those upstairs. I hope my alma mater will get better and better and become a top international university as soon as possible."
…
Not only the graduating alumni, but also the current students were shocked to the core.
Before they knew their future development, some of their peers had already donated 30 million to their alma mater.
A sum of money that most people would never earn in their lifetime was donated to his alma mater by Chen Dongcheng.
After a little inquiry, it is even more remarkable.
Sundong Technology is valued at US$200 million.
Although Little Blue Book has not yet raised funds, it is said that it already has capital to give it a valuation of US$300 million.
Qingju Technology has even set off a craze for shared bicycles, and it needs to be valued at over 100 million.
Any company can be enough for an ordinary person to brag about for a lifetime.
And these companies were all founded by someone of their own age.
This gap is so huge that it makes people despair.
…
October 15, Yuanping Stadium.
The freshman opening ceremony of Shenzhen University was held here, with more than 7,000 freshmen present.
Not only are there more than 7,000 freshmen, I heard that Chen Dongcheng will speak at the freshman opening ceremony.
It even made many students who were fine come over to watch the fun.
The stage was temporarily set up by students from the Federation of Social Sciences, who have experience in organizing electronic music festivals. An opening ceremony couldn't be simpler.
The layout is similar to that of an electronic music festival, but the equipment is not as high-end.
After the ceremony, there was a welcome party.
There is a row of stools on the stage, but no table.
Not engaging in formalism is a characteristic of Shenda.
“Students, Shenzhen University was born in the upsurge of reform and opening up. It is a unique university that we can be proud of.
Since its establishment 31 years ago, Shenzhen University and the Special Economic Zone have grown together, cultivating a large number of talents and making great contributions to the economic and social development of the Special Economic Zone.
From a new starting point, Shenzhen University will stride forward towards the goal of building a high-level, modern first-class university with international influence.
The realization of this goal depends on the efforts of the students and on the students using their wonderful performance to write the future of Shenzhen University."
As the president of the university, Chen Qingquan was the first to speak and received warm applause from a group of students.
Then several school leaders spoke, and the microphone was handed to Chen Dongcheng.
Chen Dongcheng stood up and walked to the podium. The freshmen sitting in the back row couldn't see clearly and only thought that the senior was very tall.
But the freshmen in the first few rows are different. They can clearly see what Chen Dongcheng looks like.
After seeing it clearly, many girls sitting in the front row could hardly control their little hearts.
"Oh my god, isn't this senior so handsome?"
"It's just that, I feel even more handsome than the male celebrities who have carefully photoshopped their photos."
"It's no longer possible, sisters. Senior's eyes are filled with electricity. I'm a little dizzy from the electricity."
Many freshmen were whispering, but Chen Dongcheng didn't pay attention at all and gave a speech calmly and calmly.
"Shenzhen University is very young, and you are also very young.
The development of Shenzhen University cannot be separated from the efforts of our predecessors, but I firmly believe that the development of Shenzhen University requires your participation.
Over the course of four long years, the aspects of openness, democracy, and freedom will gradually unfold for you.
You will meet here knowledgeable teachers, warm and friendly seniors, and of course your unforgettable college friends.”
The scene suddenly burst into applause. It was obvious that what Chen Dongcheng was talking about was exactly the college life that these freshmen were looking forward to.
"I think you should know that you are enjoying resources that many people only dream of.
The land under our feet is the most expensive Houhai section of Nanshan District in Pengcheng. Every inch of land is precious.
Many people may complain about the poor accommodation environment after enrolling.
But you should think about it from another perspective, wouldn’t it be much better if Brother Ma and I live in the same dormitory?”
Many freshmen couldn't help but laugh and applauded again.
Chen Dongcheng continued: "Around Shenzhen University, there are Fortune 500 companies everywhere. It can be said that you have a natural advantage.
Many outstanding alumni will surely be willing to give you more internship opportunities.
If you are good enough, I don’t think they will refuse a junior to join their company, at least I won’t.”
Many freshmen have been discussing with each other in the past two days, and they all know how good this senior is.
Last year’s job fair created hundreds of jobs for Shenzhen University.
Such seniors deserve their respect.
“Finally, I would like to say that Shenzhen University is very inclusive.
If you are ambitious, you can boldly go for it, and your alma mater will always be your warm harbor."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and bowed, and the audience burst into applause.
Chen Qingquan and Lu Hongbin, who were sitting on chairs, looked at each other.
"This is the proud son of our Shenzhen University. With such talents, why should Shenzhen University not be happy?"
"Yes, I see a few traces of Brother Ma in Chen Dongcheng. We have cultivated another business tycoon!"
The vice principal’s sentiments were unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
From a certain perspective, at Chen Dongcheng's age, Xiao Ma's achievements were not as good as Chen Dongcheng's.
Few people can clearly understand the general trend of the Internet.
But this group of school leaders concluded that Chen Dongcheng was destined to leave a mark in the history of China's Internet development.
The entrance ceremony for the new students is over, followed by the welcome party that the seniors and sisters have been preparing for a long time.
This day is an unforgettable day for many freshmen.
Lu Bai and the others surrounded Chen Dongcheng and said excitedly: "Brother Chen, you are so handsome!
Damn it, you don’t know that while you’re talking, the girls around me are constantly asking for your contact information!”
Chen Dongcheng waved his hands in a low-key manner: "Calm down, elementary school girls, I won't cause trouble, leave it to others who are still single."
Lu Bai chuckled and said, "If you attack the school girls, I dare say not one of them can withstand it!"
"Isn't that nonsense?"
"That is, you are handsome, rich, capable, and popular...Brother Chen, tell us, what are your shortcomings?"
Lu Bai concluded: "Fanxin?"
Chen Dongcheng's face tightened and he kicked Lu Bai: "You are the only one who talks too much."
A group of boys laughed, and Lu Bai looked aggrieved: "That's what it is, do you blame me?"
Ever since the freshman ceremony, Chen Dongcheng has been surrounded by a group of schoolgirls on three levels inside and outside.
Seeing the senior's handsome face up close, the last bit of reserve of these juniors was completely forgotten.
What's the use of being reserved?
Can you help them catch their senior?
Chen Dongcheng underestimated the terrifying lethality after optimizing his appearance.
God-like appearance is optimized again from eyebrows to facial features.
Every optimization is based on the original appearance, and the lethality is overwhelming.
Just looking at these school girls, they tend to turn into star-chasers.
Only then did Chen Dongcheng understand the saying, boys should protect themselves when they go out.
