"This kind of cooperation in entrusting scientific and technological research and development has not yet happened in China. I need to discuss it with other departments. This matter also involves several departments. Let's do this, Mr. Chen. I will immediately invite various departments to discuss it in the past few days. , if there is a result, I will notify you immediately." Director Lin thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Director Lin." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, but he also knew in his heart that it couldn't be done so quickly. You must know that Bao Yugang donated a hotel, but it was delayed just because of the name requirement. In two years, my cooperation requirements may be better, but it will definitely take some time.
"Then what is Mr. Chen's second thing?" Director Lin asked next.
"I want to donate and build a university in Shenhai City." Chen Zhiwen said slowly.
"Build a university?" Director Lin's eyes almost fell out of shock. After the reform, many overseas Chinese wealthy people donated to schools, but they were all primary schools or middle schools, and they were all near their hometowns. They donated to universities. Now this is the first one.
"Yes, education is the foundation of a country. Although there are many very good universities in the country, they are still too few compared to the domestic population. So I hope to make some contribution to the development of national education, and I The donated university in this city is mainly for science and engineering. I will introduce a lot of Western equipment or hire some Western professors, which will also make it easier for the country to learn Western technology." Chen Zhiwen continued.
"Sheng Chen, the investment in a university is estimated to be several hundred million. Are you sure about this?" Director Lin asked.
"Of course, I'm sure." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "But I can only invest in hardware. For software, I still need to dispatch university professors from other universities in China."
"Of course this is not a problem, but why did Mr. Chen choose Shenhai City? Although it is developing rapidly, it is still too small. There are still many big cities in the country that do not have universities. How about Mr. Chen consider changing his location?" Director Lin Said again.
"No need. I am very optimistic about the future of Shenhai City. I believe it will become one of the largest cities in the country in the future. As for population, it is not a big problem. As long as the economy develops, there will naturally be more people." Chen Zhiwen smiled. , and asked: "Does Director Lin know about Silicon Valley in the United States?"
"I know, I have been to the core of the American electronics industry last year." Director Lin nodded and said, the famous name of Silicon Valley has been heard even in China a few years ago. , those who are engaged in foreign economic and trade will naturally go out for a walk.
"There are many reasons for the success of Silicon Valley. One of them is that there is a famous Stanford University nearby. This university continuously provides a large number of talents for Silicon Valley companies, either starting businesses or developing technology, which makes Silicon Valley gain today's reputation in the semiconductor field." Chen Zhiwen said: "So, I have my own purpose in investing in Shenhai City. Midea Group is currently in a very rapid growth period in the global market, but Hong Kong's population is too small, and science and engineering are not very developed. There simply isn't enough talent available, so I need to develop a lot of talent closer to Hong Kong.
But here in China, the development of the electronic field in recent years is very different from that in European and American countries. Therefore, in the long run, I need to train tens of thousands of professional college students. University fees in Europe and the United States are very expensive. I think Director Lin should also know , the funds to send so many people to school are enough to build a university in our country. "
Donating this university not only has the purpose of establishing good relations with the country and gaining a lot of fame, but the more important purpose is to cultivate a large number of basic talents for Midea Group.
Before 1980, Midea mainly relied on games to start its business. Arcade machines monopolized the global market and made huge profits. At the same time, it also gained a certain international reputation. With Chen Zhiwen's prophetic ability and relying on games, he will be able to do well in the future. But in this case it can only be an enhanced version of Nintendo. If you want to develop better, you still have to have some achievements in technology.
Of course, Chen Zhiwen still does not intend to directly touch the kind of technology that would make the United States suppress it by any means. He can just leave it to the mainland and invest it himself. What he wants to do is still the largest market for civilian products, such as personal computers, High-quality games, various types of software, etc. will inevitably require a large number of talents.
Although R&D bases can be built in Europe and the United States, as a headquarters, R&D capabilities cannot be too weak. Otherwise, relying entirely on overseas would be too risky and costly.
Therefore, it is most cost-effective to build a university in the deep sea city close to Hong Kong. In the future, Midea will definitely build a large-scale production factory in Shenhai City. In this way, the powerful talents in this university will do research and development, while the ordinary ones will go to production. This is also a good thing for these students, as long as they don't mess around. Today, a stable high-paying job is absolutely no problem.
"So that's it. I'm afraid our departments haven't been able to decide on the matter of building a university yet. We may need to submit it again, but I think there won't be any big problems." Director Lin thought for a while and said.
The country itself needs to introduce funds. If it involves investments that may damage its foreign exchange reserves or security areas, it may be rejected. However, if others donate foreign exchange to build universities, they can earn a lot of foreign exchange, cultivate a large number of talents, and save money. There is no reason to refuse part of the foreign exchange expenses for sending students to study abroad.
"Well, please tell the relevant leaders that Midea Group is developing very fast now, and the demand for this is urgent. If the domestic side does not agree, please tell me in advance. Then I can go to the Wanwan side. Build this university." Chen Zhiwen said again.
"Okay, I will do my best to promote these two projects quickly. Please rest assured, Mr. Chen." Director Lin was shocked. It would be a real pity if a Western-style university was lost in his own hands.
"Thank you, Director Lin." Chen Zhiwen waved his hand and said.
Of course, it is impossible for him to go to Wanwan to build this university. In fact, the development potential of the electronics industry in Wanwan is much greater than that in Hong Kong. In the future, even if Shenzhen University is built, Wanwan will still be a talent pool for Midea. One of the banks, the reason why I said this is of course to speed up the approval process from the mainland and agree as soon as possible.
Although tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent to build this university, not to mention the indirect benefits of fame, as long as it can really train thousands of high-quality college students for the United States every year in the future, the impact on the United States will be far greater than These are invested.
