"This Sanqing Group is really awesome!"
Hou Yaofeng, president of Suzhou University, put down the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
Director Xie from the school office refilled a pot of hot tea for his immediate superior and asked with a smile.
"How do you say this? Is there any news about Sanqing again?"
He quietly glanced at the newspaper cover from the corner of his eye, and saw the following words:
"The largest taxpayer in Jiangsu Province, the tax paid in the Three Qing Dynasties was 51.6 billion, accounting for half of Kunming City's fiscal revenue."
Sure enough, Principal Hou pointed to the newspaper while picking up the teacup: "Look for yourself, last year Sanqing Pharmaceutical Industry ranked first in the world, with revenue exceeding 100 billion US dollars, and tax payments of more than 50 billion. Gee, it's so hot. "
Director Xie put down the kettle, picked up the newspaper, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "That's natural. What leader wouldn't like such a God of Wealth?"
Principal Hou sighed with regret on his face: "It's a pity that it's not in Su City. You said Kun City is such a small county, why does Sanqing like to stay there?"
Director Xie shook his head and said with a smile, "That's not enough for outsiders."
At this point, he seemed to remember something, lowered his voice, and chuckled.
"It is said that Kunming City has introduced a policy, claiming to be a global pharmaceutical valley and create the best business environment. It also links corporate satisfaction with employee bonuses. Anyone with a discerning eye will know who this company is referring to."
"Now Kunshi is relying on Sanqing's taxes to make a living. It's like a wealthy man. He doesn't even care about the little income from selling land."
"In the past few years, Sanqing has created a group of millionaires, all of whom have settled in Kunming and bought houses, pushing up the housing prices around Sanqing Garden from 10,000 to 30,000. Then Sanqing's head of health expressed strong dissatisfaction. , was so frightened that Kunming City immediately introduced a series of suppression policies, and Shengsheng lowered the house price there to 20,000, and a bunch of real estate speculators lost their pants."
"Everyone says that Sanqing has single-handedly suppressed housing prices in Kunming City. Unless Sanqing moves away, housing prices in Kunming City will never be able to rise in this life."
"Now, the Huaqiao area has become an outlier because it is close to Haishi and the housing prices are still rising."
"Haha, there is such a thing." Principal Hou couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's a good thing. Mr. Wei still cares about his employees. He even controls the housing prices in the city where he is located."
"It's a pity that we don't have a health minister in Sioux City. The housing prices are so high that they are ranked among the best in the country. Don't tell me, the housing prices are really worthy of the GDP ranking. They are not much worse than Haishi."
"Yes," Director Xie agreed, "school teachers complain every day that they can't afford a house, and so do the students. Everyone says that the house price is too expensive, that they can't stay in Sioux City, and that they can't survive. Generally speaking, this kind of thing I recommend them to go to Kunming to find jobs, especially in biology and medicine, as there are many opportunities."
"That's not bad," Principal Hou nodded approvingly: "I remember that every year Sanqing comes to the school to recruit students. There should be many students who go there."
"Yes, Sanqing generally only recruits the best students, and they don't choose academic qualifications, whether they have a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, or a doctorate. They value learning ability and innovative thinking, and they like students with more flexible minds, the kind who are particularly hard-working. It’s not very popular.”
Principal Hou pondered for a moment, nodded slowly and said: "This is also a good inspiration. We should try to start from this aspect in training students in the future. After all, students have to find jobs after graduation. The better the jobs they can find, the better the school will be." The better the reputation, the better. When it comes to biochemistry work, which company is better than Sanqing?"
"That's right, you think long term and think deeply." Director Xie nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, praising the wise leadership.
At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Principal Hou picked up the phone, his expression immediately changed, and he took a deep breath.
"Yes, is there such a thing? This is a huge opportunity. I understand. I must follow the instructions from above and go all out."
After a few short words, he hung up the phone and said seriously.
"Lao Xie, I just got a call from above, saying that Sanqing Group invited colleges and universities to open a business in Kunming.
There are employees at the branch who want to continue their studies and plan to study for a part-time master's or doctoral degree, but there are no suitable universities in Kunming. "
"From President Wei's tone, it seems that he wants to give priority to universities in this province. Of course, he also welcomes universities in Shanghai."
"As long as the branch is established, Sanqing is willing to provide full scientific research funding. Of course, he also has requirements for disciplines, which must be mainly basic scientific research and clinical research. He is also willing to provide full scholarships to outstanding students, and will even give priority to admission every year."
"As for the branch campus, Sanqing does not require an undergraduate degree. It is optional. The majors and courses are mainly postgraduate. Master's and doctoral degrees are available either full-time or part-time."
"However, Mr. Wei specifically made a request that there should be an on-the-job master's and doctoral program. It seems that this is tailor-made for Sanqing's employees who want to further their studies."
"What do you think about this matter?"
Director Xie was stunned for a while. It took him a while to react, and he immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
"Principal Hou, this is a great thing. Our school must win it. It will depend on it to become a world-class university in the future."
"Now the policies of colleges and universities have changed. As for double first-class schools, they must take disciplines as the main body of funding and highlight the purpose of building a first-class discipline to drive the construction of a first-class school."
"If our school has Sanqing, the world's number one pharmaceutical company, to cooperate in production and research, it will definitely greatly improve the level of scientific research and build both medicine and biology into world-class key disciplines."
"At the very least, we won't have to worry about money when we do scientific research in the future."
President Hou was very excited when he heard this and nodded repeatedly: "I think so too. It said that this time we are close to the water, we must try our best to win the cooperation opportunity. I heard that Nanda is very tempted, but because it is far away, it is not good in all aspects. Prepare."
"As for the schools in Haishi, Jiaotong University is also interested at the moment, but their plans are too big, and the teachers they send may not be very strong. After all, our school has the best chance."
Director Xie pondered and said, "I have a good idea. How about we move the graduate schools of biology and medicine to Kunming and set up a branch directly."
President Hou was immediately shocked: "Are you kidding? Biology and medicine are both our strong subjects. Although the graduate school has a small number of people, it is the same college."
A trace of cruelty flashed in Director Xie's eyes, and he said with a frown on his face: "Principal, you can't let go of your children. We are just a 211 school. If we can't show sincerity, how can we compete with C9 famous schools like Nanjing University and Jiaotong University."
"After all, Sanqing is also an enterprise in Su City. They are all integrated. Kun City is only 20 kilometers away from here, which is closer than the distance from the urban area to the suburbs of Hai City. Is this different from a branch campus? Anyway, I You can’t tell.”
Principal Hou hesitated to speak, and the expression on his face changed, revealing the struggle deep in his heart.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "The matter is so big that I can't make the decision. But this suggestion is indeed a good one. I will mention it to the boss and see if I can agree to it."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be fascinated: "If the graduate school of biology and medicine is really moved to Kunming and a Sanqing campus is established, with a strong scientific research fund, a large number of Sanqing employees can enroll and publish various Academic papers will surely drive the rapid development of the discipline and make our school become a world-class university as soon as possible."
"By then, neither NTU nor Jiaotong University will be able to compare with us in the field of biology."
"It's really exciting to think about it. I can't wait to see this scene."
He knew in his heart that Director Xie was actually right. Suzhou University has four campuses in Sioux City and an independent applied technology college as a branch branch in Kunming City. When it comes to setting up branch campuses, the bottom line is quite flexible.
The only embarrassing thing is the division of disciplines. After all, biology and medicine are relatively strong subjects at Suzhou University. He feels a little distressed if they are separated like this.
But then I thought about it, these two are not considered ace majors, and it won't hurt to separate them.
Besides, Kunming City is also part of Suzhou City. It’s really close and only takes about half a mile to drive.
When I was young, it was no different from a branch campus.
These two children belong to separate families and never leave home. After they were sent out, they were well-nurtured. When they became stronger, they could feed back to the school. It was a business that was sure to make a profit without losing any money.
And didn’t Sanqing leave all undergraduate students to this school?
After Principal Hou thought about it for a while, he quickly reported this suggestion to the superior department.
After careful study, the higher authorities also approved this plan, and even became more radical in order to compete with Nanjing University and Jiaotong University.
When the decision from above came back, Principal Hou was dumbfounded.
"What? The higher-ups assigned undergraduate students to the Sanqing branch as well?"
"We will do what we say we are going to do. Let's show our sincerity thoroughly."
"Then doesn't this mean we need to rebuild a new campus? Isn't there enough time?"
"Fortunately, we can move the graduate school there first, and then move the undergraduate students there after the new campus is built."
Principal Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and his frown suddenly relaxed.
"It seems that there are still experts who understand education and understand the importance of working closely with the industry's number one company to cultivate practical and innovative talents from the ground up, from undergraduates to masters and doctoral degrees."
"Sanqing has trained many industry leaders in the past few years. I believe that this joint schooling will definitely make certain reforms to the domestic education system and find a more suitable teaching path."
"By the way, we need to get this thing done early. This way, there will be another big killer for the college entrance examination enrollment this year. It will definitely attract many students who want to study biology. After all, for them, no company can be better than Sanqing. Naturally, our school will become the best choice."
[In view of the general environment,
When he thought of this, Principal Hou's eyes suddenly lit up and he was spinning around in excitement.
He immediately formed a special team to discuss the matter with Sanqing Group.
Since Suzhou University provided the most sincere plan among the interested universities, it came out on top and received this valuable cooperation opportunity.
With the full support of Suzhou City, the new branch office went very smoothly. It was finalized and the entire process was completed in less than a month.
When the New Year's bells rang throughout the country, the official approval came out.
At this point, Suzhou University Sanqing Campus has been officially established.
Kunming City found a third-rate primary school near Sanqingyuan and completely vacated it for the Sanqing branch.
It is expected that within two to three months, the graduate schools of biology and medicine will be moved here first, and then new teaching buildings and dormitories will be slowly built.
As soon as the end of the year, the new campus will be built and all students from these two majors will be moved there.
As for Sanqing employees, they will be able to apply after the year. The review will be conducted at the main campus of Suzhou University first. Once the branch campus is ready, they can officially enroll nearby.
In short, this series of plans can be said to be quite thoughtful.
Seeing Wei Kang nodding his head again and again, he really couldn't find anything wrong with him.
He was so happy that he transferred the first phase of 50 million sponsorship funds to the exclusive account of Sanqing Branch in the name of Sanqing Education Fund with a wave of his hand.
Suzhou University's annual income is about 3.8 billion, which is quite small compared with Nanda University's income of 10 billion.
Financial appropriations account for half of this, which shows that other aspects of income are not large and rely more on local financial support.
The annual budgets of Beijing University, Zhejiang University, and Jiaotong University all exceed 20 billion.
Huaqing University ranks first with more than 30 billion, which is comparable to the educational funding of top overseas universities.
You must know that Harvard University in Eagle Country has an annual budget of only more than 30 billion yuan, which is comparable to Huaqing University.
Of course, top schools, both at home and abroad, do not rely on financial allocations, but mainly rely on their own operating income and charitable funding, which account for as much as 80% of their income.
Overseas name
The most important thing for the school is donation income, which accounts for more than 40%, so the main task of the president of Harvard is to raise money.
However, the income sources of domestic famous universities are mainly income from scientific research and academic training, and many of them are income from projects in cooperation with enterprises. This is the hard power of the universities themselves.
Different fund-raising abilities have resulted in a huge gap in funding, and subsequently a gap in scientific research.
The gap in scientific research continues to widen the gap in income, completely forming a closed loop.
After careful calculation, the combined funding for biology and medicine at Suzhou University is estimated to not exceed 100 million a year.
But with the support of Sanqing, everything is different.
Not to mention the entire school, the financial support received by these two subjects alone is completely comparable to that of famous domestic and even international schools.
Suzhou University has been very open and sincere in this matter, and Wei Kang doesn't mind showing off his ability as a financial backer to express his joy and appreciation.

At the same time, Huang Qin, who is far away in his hometown in Guizhou Province, is lying on a soft sofa, feeling the warmth brought by the floor heating, and enjoying a comfortable New Year holiday.
There were Spring Festival programs playing on the TV screen. Huang Qin didn't watch any of them, but was thinking about the blind dates he had seen in the past few days.
The story of his annual salary of one million in a large factory has been widely circulated among relatives, so the number of blind dates he introduced has naturally increased.
When Huang's mother told him that there were ten blind dates arranged for one day, all of them were queuing up to wait for an appointment with him.
Huang Qin was immediately speechless, his whole body was in a state of ecstasy, and he felt as comfortable as a human emperor.
"This, this is too exaggerated, Mom, this is not good." His first reaction was to refuse.
"Oh, what are you talking about? I am the best boy in the county, so of course you can choose any girl in the county."
"The introducers were all frightened to death when they heard that your annual income was more than 3 million yuan. What's more, those girls were so scared that they all wanted to call me mom right away."
The old mother said proudly: "I carefully selected ten of them, and I'm sure they will suit your liking."
Huang Qin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
People are numb. He doesn’t have so many people every year. How will he explain to the other party then?
Just as I was thinking this, suddenly, the phone rang.
I looked down and saw it was an internal company email.
"Warmly celebrate the establishment of the Sanqing Campus of Suzhou University. We will open enrollment for on-the-job master's and doctoral programs later this year."
He was stunned for a moment, feeling a powerful mental impact again, and his whole brain was buzzing.
"As expected of Mr. Wei, I want to study for a doctorate but can't find a course. I'm worried all day long."
"In the end, he kept calm and directly arranged a branch campus and customized on-the-job master's and doctoral courses for employees."
"Nima, this wave is simply a win."
Thinking of this, he instantly jumped up from the sofa and waved his fists excitedly.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to study for a Ph.D."
