Chapter 429: Southern University of Science and Technology (middle)

Popular recommendation:,,,,,,,

SUSTech and Shenhai University were established one after the other, and the campuses of the two universities are separated by only one road, so it is inevitable that they will be compared together.

Behind Shenzhen University is the strong support of the Shenzhen Special Administrative Region Government. The 50 million RMB construction funds allocated to the school were all squeezed out of the municipal budget, and the country and the province did not give a penny.

Standing behind SUSTech is the world's richest man, "God of Fortune Li", and the first donation of SUSTech came from the Oriental Group. The Oriental Group donated US$50 million to SUSTech, of which the first US$30 million was allocated in one lump sum when the school preparatory committee was just established last year. The remaining $20 million will be distributed over four years starting this year.

The public welfare fund under Li Xuan's name, Donghai Fund, also promised to donate 25 million US dollars to SUSTech every year starting from the 1985 academic year to maintain daily operations for 10 years, and a total of 250 million will be donated to SUSTech. Dollar.

Li Xuan alone has pledged 300 million US dollars, and another unofficial member of the five executive directors of SUSTech, Huo Lao, known as the "red capitalist", also donated 10 million in one go. Dollar.

In addition, 6 of the 10 non-executive directors have invited a number of Hong Kong celebrities to join. Among them, Mr. He Hongshen, the Macau gambling king, who pledged 40 million Hong Kong dollars to build a new library for SUSTech. Mr. Xu Shixun also pledged HKD 30 million on behalf of the Xu family to build a new gymnasium for SUSTech. Mr. Shao Yifu also pledged HKD 30 million to build a new administrative building for SUSTech.

In addition, thanks to the efforts of two executive directors, Li Xuan and Huo Yingdong, to raise funds. Hong Kong and Kowloon tycoons like Guo Desheng, Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng also donated generously. As of June this year, the funds raised by SUSTech are not counting the $250 million pledged by Li Xuan. It is already as high as 315 million Hong Kong dollars (about 40 million US dollars).

In addition to the funds allocated by Li Xuan, the actual cash in the account of SUSTech has reached 100 million US dollars. Such a strong fundraising ability is also the fundamental reason why Li Xuan was able to persuade the central government to agree to establish an experimental university outside the system in the special zone.

This was only possible in the 1980s when the country was extremely short of funds, and the high-level central authorities were crossing the river by feeling the stones and being brave to carry out various reform attempts. It was only possible for an institution of higher learning like the Southern University of Science and Technology, which is similar to a Western private university. Opportunity is established. If time goes back ten years. When the national policy is tightened, even if Li Xuan is willing to spend more money, it will not help.

And now the central-central executives are also very tolerant, since they agreed with Li Xuan's idea of ​​​​building an experimental university. He simply let go of the preparatory work for the new university and left it to Li Xuanlai to be in charge. But Li Xuan is very careful to control the scale of himself and Dongfang Group's intervention.

The purpose of his preparation for the establishment of SUSTech is to provide the future development of the Oriental Group. Find a support point for academic and research. As long as SUSTech is built in the deep sea special zone. For Li Xuan and Dongfang Group, they have already obtained the home field advantage, and they are not afraid of other competitors competing for influence on SUSTech.

As for completely controlling SUSTech in his own hands, Li Xuan has no such plan at all, nor does he dare to have such a plan. Education is actually a very sensitive field for a country. In later generations, China only established a few Confucius Institutes in the United States to promote Chinese. Many professors and congressmen in the United States have constantly attacked the Chinese government for malicious intentions.

Not to mention that Li Xuan is now establishing one. An institution of higher learning that cultivates elites and pillars for the country. Although his potential threat cannot be as big as a country, there are some things that Li Xuan is willing to take the initiative to avoid. Therefore, it is in the school board of directors, the highest deliberative body he built for SUSTech. Five executive directors with voting rights, with official representatives occupying three seats, are fully capable of deciding all matters of SUSTech.

In the administrative management team established by SUSTech, the provost in charge of student teaching is the former provost of Peking University. The vice president in charge of the day-to-day management of the university is a deputy general manager of China Merchants Group from Hong Kong. The Treasurer in charge of the school's financial power is the Head of Compliance at BOCHK.

Li Xuan also took a lot of thought when setting up the management of SUSTech. On the one hand, the integration with the current domestic higher education system must be considered, and on the other hand, the management must have an international perspective. And most importantly, the management of the new university must be of one mind with the country!

Therefore, in the entire SUSTech senior executives, apart from the candidate for the president, Li Xuan has never used anyone outside the system. Like Bank of China Hong Kong and China Merchants Group, both are large state-owned enterprises stationed by the central government in Hong Kong.

His method of selecting materials for business and excellent learning should be considered a very rare situation in China. Under normal circumstances, the university presidents of the education port are transferred to the administrative port to serve as ministers, or the ministers of the administrative port are transferred to a certain university to be the president, which is relatively common in China. However, it is very rare for a business owner of a state-owned enterprise to be transferred to be the president of a university, or a university president from the education port to take charge of a large state-owned enterprise!

Li Xuan also agrees that higher education should be public welfare and should not be excessively commercialized. But he also believes that a successful university must also have good business genes. Because the school wants to continue to grow, it needs to continue to make profits.

China's universities now have a single source of finance, almost entirely relying on government funding. The situation of SUSTech is rather special. The reason why the central government agreed to Li Xuan to set up this university was because he had the ability to raise funds by himself.

Therefore, SUSTech will continue to rely on corporate sponsorship and social donations as the main source of funds for a period of time in the future. In the first two years since the establishment of SUSTech, Li Xuan could come forward to help the university hold several fundraising receptions, and everyone also proposed to sell him a bit of thin noodles.

But this is not a long-term solution. Ultimately, this work needs to be run by the management of SUSTech with their own business acumen! Therefore, when Li Xuan was drafting the management list of SUSTech, he preferred to select cadres of state-owned enterprises in Hong Kong who were familiar with the rules of business society, rather than asking for a group of old pedantic scholars from other universities in China.

In the list of top executives of SUSTech. The only one who is not from the mainland is the principal. The president represents the face of a university, and the future funding of SUSTech will be raised from Hong Kong and Macau for a long time. Therefore, the president of SUSTech must be a well-known figure in Hong Kong and Macau.

Therefore, it is not suitable to be transferred from other universities in China, not to mention that in the management structure designed by Li Xuan for SUSTech, the president is not the best leader. The administrative power of the university is mainly determined collectively by the school council and is responsible to the school board.

The principal is more like a mascot, and his biggest role is to represent the school to go out and get sponsorships, as well as to carry out various foreign exchange and cooperation activities. When the domestic side couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, it simply handed over this important task to Li Xuanlai.

Naturally, Li Xuan would not really go abroad to bring back a foreign face. He focused his attention mainly on Hong Kong. This person must not have too many political water chestnuts, and his academic influence must be outstanding enough, so Li Xuan immediately chose his tutor, Professor Zhao Weiming.

When Li Xuan entered the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Professor Zhao Weiming is already the head of the Department of Electronics at CUHK. Later, Professor Zhao became one of the important links between CUHK and Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. He not only served as the vice president of Dongfang Research Institute, but also was promoted to the vice president of CUHK by the board of directors of CUHK.

More importantly, the Eastern Group over the years. I have been working hard to make Zhao Weiming famous. The Eastern Group needs to have its own academic star. From the perspective of scientific research results, Li Xuan, who opened the rebirth plug-in and participated in the research and development of erm and two architectures, is undoubtedly the best.

But as the big boss of the Oriental Group and the glorious title of the world's richest man, he is no longer a purely academic person. No matter how much the Oriental Group promotes it, when everyone mentions the name Li Xuan, the first thing that comes to mind is still the title of "the richest man in the world".

Therefore, Li Xuan simply used all the propaganda resources on Zhao Weiming's head and actively weakened his role in the erm project. Then work hard to push Zhao Weiming to the status of "father of erm".

With the erm architecture almost completely monopolized the market of personal computer processors, and in the fields of industrial computers, single-board computers, game consoles and so on. It has also become more and more widely used. The importance and influence of erm architecture in the electronics industry is also becoming increasingly prominent.

Under the vigorous public relations promotion of Dongfang Group, Zhao Weiming, as "erm", has become more and more famous in the global electronics industry! He has become a world-class leader in the field of semiconductor chip design!

Professor Zhao Weiming, an international academic authority, and as the Vice-President of CUHK, is naturally more than enough to be the President of a newly established university. Moreover, Zhao Weiming and Li Xuan have a teacher-student friendship. He has established a sufficient tacit understanding with Li Xuan during his tenure as the vice president of the Oriental Research Institute.

"Governor Ye, the enrollment plan for the first undergraduates of SUSTech this year is 800. According to the agreement we have reached with the State Education-Commission, SUSTech will adopt the method of self-enrollment and college entrance examination enrollment simultaneously to recruit students. Work.

Among them, the proportion of college entrance examination enrollment accounted for 75%, 600 people. But since our school is also the first time to participate in the high school, the mutual understanding between the school and the candidates is not enough. If there is an overcrowding of students applying for SUSTech this year, we have the right to apply to the State Education-Commission to increase the admission quota by up to 20% on the basis of the original enrollment plan!

The remaining 20% ​​of the self-enrollment places are mainly held in Beijing-Beijing, Shanghai and East Guangdong today! Our self-enrollment this time is carried out by the principals of middle schools in these three regions, selecting outstanding fresh students to participate in the self-enrollment examination.

The self-recruitment test is divided into two parts: written test and interview. The test paper of the written test is more targeted than the college entrance examination paper, and the interview is to more intuitively examine the comprehensive quality of the students in addition to the test-taking ability! "Professor Zhao Weiming, the new president of SUSTech, introduced Ye Ping with a port.

"Southern University of Science and Technology is a university founded by compatriots from Hong Kong, Macau and overseas who have generously donated money and actively supported the national education cause! It is also a useful exploration by the central government on the next reform direction of domestic higher education. !

Today, I came to SUSTech to see the construction of the campus with my own eyes and listen to the ideas of the top management of the school. I am very excited! I hope that under your leadership, SUSTech can break down the barriers of the existing system and create a feasible new way for the reform of higher education! " Governor Ye Ping gave ardent encouragement to the school leaders before leaving SUSTech.

Li Xuan did not leave with Governor Ye Ping, but continued to stay. Another purpose of his visit to the deep-sea special zone this time is to participate in the meeting of the board of directors of SUSTech. At this meeting, the school's Academic Affairs Committee and Academic Committee will introduce the university's preparations to all school directors in detail!

Last spring, the Ministry of Education and Education gave the final approval for the establishment of the Southern University of Science and Technology in the Deep Sea Special Zone, before the Ministry of Education and Education had not changed its name to the State Education Commission. After that, Li Xuan quickly established the SUSTech Preparatory Committee, and the first thing he did was to refer to the system of foreign universities, and then combined with the actual situation in China, to formulate the internal structure and framework of this new university.

The next work is naturally to set up the school board~www.readwn.com~ Li Xuan used the three executive director seats to bring the State Education Commission, the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Deep Sea Special Zone Government into the preparatory committee. Because only with the participation of official forces, the preparatory work of SUSTech can be unimpeded, and the new university will be truly accepted by the government.

Of course, they did not join empty-handed. For example, the State Education Commission and the Guangdong Provincial Government both agreed to allocate 1 million RMB to SUSTech each year in the future. Compared with the 25 million US dollars donated by the East China Sea Fund each year, this 2 million yuan is naturally only a drop in the bucket, but what Li Xuan needs is the government's participation.

The Deep Sea Special Administrative Region government has invested a large amount of financial funds into the construction of the Deep Sea University, and has no spare capacity to continue to invest in SUSTech. Li Xuan does not need the funds of the municipal government, but he has obtained a large amount of land for SUSTech from the SAR government, with a total area of ​​5.5 square kilometers.

Only 1 square kilometer of this area will be used as the campus of SUSTech, and the remaining 4.5 square kilometers of land will be gradually developed for commercial use. These lands are still worthless wasteland, but with the rapid development of the deep-sea special zone, they will become a huge source of revenue for SUSTech in 20 to 30 years.

It can be said that Li Xuan spared no effort for this university he built by himself! (To be continued...)
