“It’s very good and the design is perfect, leaving room for future expansion.”
Su Ming looked at the blueprint, but this was obviously an afterthought. After all, the physical objects had been built and were just waiting for school to start.
I just don’t know if there are that many orphans in the United States. It seems that we should look to Europe for a solution.
"Yes, boss, I know you will like it."
Gin has followed Su Ming for so many years and knows his preferences very well. Even the architectural style was decided by him.
Su Ming's requirements for buildings are actually not high. They should be sturdy, durable, low-key and meaningful. Even if it looks like a peasant's shabby house from the outside, it will be fine if it feels like home inside.
However, recently Wilson Enterprises has abundant funds, and there are loans to support the school, so it can afford a better one. Therefore, this school is almost a collection of manor buildings.
"Well done, old man. Let's go take a look at it when it gets light tomorrow."
"Of course, boss." Gin smiled and nodded: "We were looking for you before because the school doesn't have a name yet. This is a private university and there is no need to name it after a place."
Now it's time for the naming step that Su Ming is most afraid of. It can't be called Zhan Zhan College, right?
Although the school established during World War II is indeed quite appropriate, this is not a military school.
"Hmm." Su Ming held the wine glass and shook it under the light: "Since they are all orphans, let's call it Zhongsi Academy."
"Although it's a bit hard to pronounce, I believe these children will live up to the company's training."
Gin understood that calling this name was not to make these children loyal to the United States in the future, but to make them contribute to Wilson Enterprises.
The only person they need to be loyal to is their boss.
"Well, I hope so, but there are always young people everywhere. In order to strengthen the ideological education work, I have to let Jos train some eloquent political professors."
"I will inform him. Other departments are operating normally, so I won't disturb you anymore, boss. I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
The next morning, when Su Ming was having breakfast, gin had already arrived.
Although Gin Jiu's status within the company is now lower than that of one person and higher than that of ten thousand people, he still insists on driving Su Ming around by himself.
The company headquarters is not far from the college, but the overall road conditions on Long Island are not very good.
In this era, this place was almost a countryside. After World War II, with the growth of the United States and the increase in immigrants, this place would become a villa area favored by the rich.
"The road is not good. We need to spend money to build a direct road to the headquarters. We need to use the best asphalt. But don't waste money. Just pave a two-way road."
"Yes, boss."
Su Ming, who was holding a wine glass, was wandering behind the car, talking to Gin helplessly. Not to mention that there was sludge from melted snow everywhere, and it was always dusty when it was dry.
After wandering around for a while, Su Ming finally saw his school.
Facing the sea on three sides, only the direction of the school gate leads to the land, and the teaching buildings in the distance seem to be built on the cliff at a glance.
There is also a large forest behind these buildings, where you can see some wild animals, which is very nice.
Generally speaking, it occupies a vast area and is magnificent. The buildings are distributed in steps along the terrain. It is just like Gin said, this is a small city.
Of course, it has high walls and looks more like an ancient castle complex.
Not far from the school gate, there is a statue of Su Ming. I don’t know who’s opinion, but it was built to be the same as the Lincoln statue in the Lincoln Memorial Hall.
The scene depicted by the statue is that he is sitting on the sofa, with his hands on the armrests, wearing a well-dressed suit, looking into the distance with a calm smile.
There are flower beds around it, but the weather is cold now, and there is even some snow piled on the flower pots. Su Ming never expected to see his own statue, especially when he was not dead.
"It feels a little strange, as if I have become a great man." Su Ming said to Gin with a smile.
"You are already a great man, boss. Although we have made a lot of money, we have also supported a lot of people." Gin walked beside him, and the two of them continued to walk deeper into the school: "And for orphans, it is free.
Our college should have allowed children to see your statues and photos every day."
Su Ming thought for a while, and indeed, Ginjiu was right. He was not too ugly to be seen. In order to cultivate the loyalty of the orphans, he at least needed to let them know what he looked like.
But when he walked into the building, he found that every room had his own photos hanging on them, which was still a bit unbearable.
"It's enough to hang one at the entrance of each building. It would be too much to have one in every room. There is no need to hang photos in the canteen and toilets. It would look too strange."
"Okay, boss, this is all the decoration company's fault. I think I put too much pressure on them at the time."
"It's okay. Who can avoid making mistakes? I'm very satisfied with the other furniture and teaching facilities. Now let's go to the dormitory and have a look. I don't want the children to be crowded on the Chase Bunk like sardine cans. Their dormitories need to be separated for men and women.
, two people per room, the campus and the building gate are looked after by absolutely trustworthy hands."
Gin turned around and led the way: "I understand, let's go this way. If we still have time after seeing the dormitory, we can go to the back half of the campus to see the swamp. Although it is blocked by an iron fence, you can sometimes see crocodiles."
“A crocodile under water? Very educational”
Su Ming is very satisfied with the school's facilities and environment. However, there is a problem now. Not only are there no students, there are also no teachers here.
Although younger children are often selected when selecting orphans, some teenagers who are on the verge of despair are more likely to give up their hearts to the 'savior'.
Don't expect that today's thugs will have wizards who can teach knowledge above elementary school level. You can only select some from workers and cadres first.
Moreover, Su Ming also needs a principal to actually manage this place.
Booth is actually pretty good, he speaks very eloquently and is trustworthy.
But now he is the company's director of publicity and external liaison, and he has enough things to do, and he can't get out of it at all.
As for the old guys who opened the winery with Su Ming, they were all miserable at first. Don't expect to have a high level of education. Now they are either still working with gin, or they are working in a factory.
Little leader, this is the end.
There is no suitable candidate.
Su Ming, who was sitting in the back seat of the car and was already on his way back, was thinking troubledly.
When I think of the principal, I think of the professor. He may be the most famous educator.
Su Ming is absolutely sure that he will be able to work here in the future. However, what Su Ming wants are elite agents and loyal manpower, not a bunch of idiots with Mary's disease.
So Su Ming eliminated him immediately.
The best candidate is actually a thick black guy like Nick Fury, but that guy is really a patriot, and all he wants to be is the spy chief of the SSR.
"Don't go back to the company yet, I'm going to the old winery."
Su Ming said this to Ginjiu.
In fact, Gin also knows that the old distillery has been basically scrapped and is now regarded as a corporate cultural museum. It is better to go to the New York Temple above the distillery than to go to the old distillery.
He didn't know what his boss was planning to do, but he just had to follow his instructions.
In the cold wind, Su Ming got out of the car, pulled on the collar of his coat, and looked at the building in front of him that no one else could see.
"You should go back first, Gin, I think it will take some time here."
After saying that, Su Ming stepped onto the spotless steps, seeming to have suddenly disappeared in the eyes of others.
"So? You came to me just to ask Kamal Taj to move?"
Gu Yi held the teacup in his hands and kept using the lid of the teacup to stir the tea leaves.
"Yes, it's a new school. After all, the environment is difficult. There is a large swamp in my school. The freshmen of Kamathaj practice very well there. I also have crocodiles."
Su Ming also held the tea cup, watching the various ingredients sinking and floating in the tea soup. When did Gu Yi start drinking tea in a bowl?
"If you are willing to take over as the Supreme Mage now, then everyone will obey your orders." Ancient One said almost explicitly.
"Well, the world war is still going on, and I want to do more for society."
"Well, in this case, although the crocodile is good, I still have to reject this suggestion. After all, Kama Taj is the core of the protective circle now."
Gu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip with a smile, and then sighed with satisfaction. She watched the snowflakes flying across the window lattice and the incense burner in the room emitting green smoke, enjoying this quiet state of mind.
Su Ming also sighed in his heart.
Gu Yi's education level is actually pretty good, he is very powerful, and he has the Time Stone to cover everything.
However, it was impossible for her to become a principal in the secular world. Su Ming just couldn't think of a suitable candidate and hoped that the knowledgeable Supreme Mage would recommend one to her.
Just like she introduced Monaco to Su Ming, Gu Yi actually knew a lot of warriors from the Celestial Dynasty, and the people from Kunlun were just juniors to her.
"But I do have a candidate who I can recommend to you to be your principal. He is well-read and has a kind personality. Not only is his magic far beyond ordinary people, he is also a good kung fu and martial artist."
Seeing Su Ming's entangled look, Gu Yi recommended a manpower to the successor she liked. In fact, she had already prepared, but she never had a good chance to send him to Su Ming.
And now is a God-given opportunity. As long as that person is sent there, his retirement will be closer.
"Who is it? Have I seen it?" Su Ming didn't remember what other talents Kama Taj had. Could it be Modu? But that guy was too pedantic.
Gu Yi raised a hand, drew a circle of light directly in front of him, and said to the person over there.
"Come here and meet the person you want to assist in the future."
When he saw the person coming out of the portal, Su Ming rubbed his face.
"Did you forget to mention that he is also the best cook in your Kamal Taj?"
Ancient One just smiled and raised his hand to make a gesture to close the portal. "Look, I knew Slade would recognize you."
The somewhat thin visitor clasped his fists and saluted without saying much. His body did not look like a mage, but more like a Tibetan herdsman.
"I have seen you, Master Hamil, you are the guardian of the Ancient One."
Su Ming looked at the lean librarian with a dumbfounded expression. Why did he feel like he was being plotted by Ancient One? Was he getting closer to the position of the Supreme Mage?
