rebirth of cataclysm

As the saying goes, people are in high spirits during happy events. Ma Zhiyuan, the president of Langzhou University, has been more tired than ever in the past year, but he is more energetic than ever.

Because of the money, the school ushered in explosive development, and various research centers were established one after another.

Hardware is the easiest to construct. As long as there are sufficient funds, the building can be built quickly. The scientific research equipment can be selected from the world's top quality and can be purchased and installed.

Relatively speaking, the most troublesome thing is talent.

Since the previous background and foundation are not enough, and the talent cultivation time is very long, the only way to make up for this is through poaching and introduction.

Currently, a large part of Ma Zhiyuan's work is doing this.

There are some important scholars who he even has to visit in person to talk to and invite them.

Over the past year, Ma Zhiyuan has recruited three academicians, several Yangtze River scholars, outstanding young and middle-aged science and technology leaders, leading talents in the Ten Thousand Talents Plan, outstanding young people in the Ten Thousand Plan, and national-level young and middle-aged experts with outstanding contributions, etc.

Talent.

These outstanding talents in various fields are willing to join. They do not only do it for the money, cars and houses, but more because they feel that there is a platform and space for them to display. After all, they can stand alone as soon as they come.

First-class laboratories, sufficient research funding, attention from the entire school, and a relaxed research environment are all very valuable to ambitious scientific researchers who want to make greater achievements.

When Ma Zhiyuan goes out to recruit people, he is very heroic. One thing he often says is: You can make whatever conditions you want, and we can meet them.

How dare he say such things in the past? As long as someone said: annual salary is not less than one million, housing is not less than 180, he would be choked to the point of speechlessness.

Not to mention that many people's conditions are: a complete set of the world's most advanced scientific research equipment, an annual research funding of not less than 10 million per person, multiple PhDs as scientific research assistants, etc.

Before this, doctoral graduates from the top 100 universities in the world basically would not choose to come to Langzhou University, even if the school sincerely offered to provide associate professors (associate researchers) with housing and spouses' jobs as soon as they came.

, but still doesn’t work.

It's different now. Although it's still not easy, there is a choice.

If they are graduates from prestigious universities in the world, such as Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, etc., then it is still difficult to introduce them, especially those who have made great achievements, the possibility of coming is still small, they will feel

Langzhou University is not well-known, and its price has dropped a bit since coming here.

But if the school is sincere enough, some people will still be willing to try.

As for domestic university graduates, you can really choose. Even those with doctoral degrees from the top two universities and famous overseas universities like Nanyang Technological University can still be recruited.

There is no way, the salary is really generous, much better than if they stay in school. Although the position is just a research assistant at the beginning, the salary is almost the same as that of ordinary professors in their own school.

Moreover, the school has introduced an enterprise incentive system, which means that if major breakthroughs are made in research, the school will give material rewards like enterprises, not just the previous spiritual rewards.

This applies not only to the talents introduced, but also to the teachers and scientific and technical personnel of the school.

For example, last year, a young lecturer at the School of Materials led a partial material research. As a result, he led several students to conduct multiple experiments and obtained a new type of composite material. He also formed a paper and published it in the magazine "Science"

.

The lecturer was immediately promoted to associate professor, and he was only thirty-one years old. In addition, the school also rewarded him with a car worth 400,000 yuan, a house by the Qingxi River, and 2 million in cash, and his

Research funding has also been significantly increased.

It is also because of this change that the school's profile needs to be updated every few days, otherwise it will not reflect the changes in the school.

"I feel extremely gratified to see research centers being built one after another, to see the installation of advanced equipment, and to welcome young talents one after another to join." Ma Zhiyuan stood in front of the newly completed research center building.

, said to Hu Mingchen.

This research center only has eight floors and four elevators, but it cost more than 150 million, and the various equipment is worth more than 100 million.

In the future, no less than 50 million yuan will be invested every year to support it.

"Yes, you can see the changes in the school almost every day. The Integrated Optoelectronics Research Center over there should also be open next month." Hu Mingchen said.

"Aren't these all your contribution? If it weren't for your support, I'm afraid the school wouldn't have changed so much in another thirty years." Ma Zhiyuan stared at Li Wenjie and said.

"Haha, principal, you can't say that. If you ask me to do it, I can't do it. You, as well as the leaders of the school and colleges at all levels, are the ones who have put in a lot of effort. Sometimes, getting money is

Being able to spend your money wisely on small things is a great skill." Hu Mingchen said modestly.

The more Hu Mingchen doesn't take credit or be arrogant, the more Ma Zhiyuan thinks he is extraordinary.

Some people have made some contributions, and some alumni and bosses have donated some money, and they want to publicize it, for fear that others will not know.

On the other hand, Hu Mingchen not only didn't say anything, but also didn't allow the school to publicize it. It was as if the money was allocated by his superiors.

"Don't you care about fame and fortune at all? You know, if the teachers and students in the school know that these are your contributions, then your reputation..."

"Principal, if I cared about those things, I wouldn't do it. Fame and wealth are good things, but they are also a heavy burden. I'm still young and I can't bear such a burden for the time being, so forget it. In life, merit is

After all, future generations will comment. If I eagerly jump out to claim credit, what will happen? Haha, so, just face it with a normal heart." Hu Mingchen waved his hand to interrupt Ma Zhiyuan.

"You... In comparison, I am far inferior to you. Everyone thinks it is my contribution and merit. Honors and praises are piled on me. I feel ashamed and can't shirk it."

?”

"Then just think of it as doing a good deed and taking the blame for me, haha." Hu Mingchen joked.

"Ding Lei? What does it mean? Oh... it means top cylinder, right?" Ma Zhiyuan is an older scientist after all, and there is a slight generation gap when it comes to the vocabulary used by young people.

"Almost."

"Such a good thing cannot be found by others even with a lantern, but I feel like I'm suffering. I feel a little indebted, haha."

"It shows that you are selfless."

"The more you praise me, the more I feel that I am thick-skinned and deserve it. By the way, let me tell you that starting from this year, I plan to expand the scope of scholarships, not only to increase the number of students currently on campus, but also to

Expand the quota for admissions. We will provide scholarships to students who come in with high scores.

Tuition fees are all free. Not for one year, but for four years, all tuition fees are waived to attract high-quality candidates and improve the student source structure. This method is also used in master's and doctoral admissions to strive for ten to fifteen years.

Over time, Langzhou University will become a research-oriented university and enter the second echelon of universities nationwide." Ma Zhiyuan said.

"I'm afraid that entering the second echelon is also at the back. After all, if you want to become a research university, especially a well-known research university, it does not happen overnight. You need to constantly consolidate the foundation and accumulate knowledge."

"I have this confidence. We are not a newly established university. As long as we improve the teaching staff, introduce more first-class scholars and experts, and improve the quality structure of the student body, then it should be enough. I believe that after these scientific research centers are built,

, there will be output in a few years, and the score in this part is very high." Ma Zhiyuan said confidently.

"Principal Ma, it is a good thing to be ranked high. However, we cannot rank for the sake of ranking. We still have to stick to our original intention. The meaning of the school's existence is first to educate students so that they can have a correct outlook on life, add intuition, and a world view.

, otherwise, a bunch of students will be trained, and they will all go to serve in foreign countries.

Then what are we, making wedding dresses for others? Secondly, it is to teach students some skills so that they, no, we, can serve the country, society and family. In my opinion, as long as these two points are achieved,

Then the rest doesn't matter, what should happen will fall into place." Hu Mingchen said.

There are many schools in China that are very keen on rankings. This is actually not a good thing, and they will go astray unknowingly.

Just like a company, as long as you are keen on technological progress and research and development, as long as you are keen on solving the needs of customers and society, then sooner or later, this company will become a great enterprise, because its existence is valuable

, has a positive meaning.

On the contrary, if a company focuses on profits and stock prices all day long, then even if the company is big now, it will sink in the near future.

Hu Mingchen thinks that universities and companies are the same, and there is no need to deliberately pursue them. As long as you have developed your internal skills, and you have the strength to solve every problem that exists in the country and society, then it is impossible to stay in a prestigious school.

"It seems that you have seen quite thoroughly that we cannot relax on education about national conditions and patriotism. I plan to divert more of the funding from the province to history, sociology and other humanities and social sciences.

We are a comprehensive university, and we still need to achieve coordinated development and progress in liberal arts and sciences.”

"Yes, as far as our School of Economics is concerned, there seems to be no obvious changes. The people are still the same, and the teachers are still the same. The only difference is that a few teachers have been sent abroad for training." Li Wenjie cited the fact that he studies both arts and sciences.

Both hands agree.

"No way, our school is not very strong in economics, and its economic history is slightly better. However, if you can disclose your identity, then this may be a huge improvement. I believe many people will be admitted to study economics."

"That's impossible, but I can invite some people to serve as visiting professors to communicate with teachers and students about economic development and business management."
