Chapter 397 Donation
As Gao Yuan finished his speech, the applause from the audience lasted for at least ten minutes.

"Senior Gao Yuan's speech is much more interesting than the principal and others."

"That's right. The principal only speaks some clichés. If we follow the procedures, I heard that the same rhetoric was used last year and it hasn't been changed at all."

"Senior Gao Yuan's advice is useful, but unfortunately I'm about to graduate and I'm still single."

"Then why didn't you find a girlfriend during college?"

"Fuck, is it because I don't look for it? I can't find it!"

"..."

Gao Yuan’s suggestions are much more pleasant to the ear than those didactic speeches, and are more likely to resonate with students.

From childhood to adulthood, they have been listening to those preaching speeches all day long, and they are already tired of it, and sometimes they even develop a rebellious mentality.

That's why the students' applause lasted so long.

The celebration ended with a dinner hosted by Zhejiang University.

A group of senior school leaders booked a five-star hotel.

If it were normal times, they would definitely be questioned by society if they dared to be so extravagant.

But who dares to question them today?

You have to know that those alumni provided more than 10 billion yuan in donations to Zhejiang University.

In comparison, what is the cost of a five-star hotel for a night of hundreds of thousands? The interest earned on this money in a bank for a day is more than this.

Moreover, they are all company CEOs, people with status and position.

It's impossible to arrange a dinner at an ordinary restaurant, Hanting or a chain hotel like Super 8, right?
The five-star standard is just right.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, we are old now, and you are the role model for young people." Principal Huang praised, "I was deeply moved by what you said on the stage. Today's students must go through some things."

"I've seen an analysis that shows that dozens of suicides occur in domestic universities almost every year, and most of these suicides are related to love. These students have been living in ivory towers, have been exposed to too little of the outside world, and have too weak emotions."

If he suffers a little setback in his relationship, he will try to commit suicide.

Most universities will not take the initiative to discuss the issue of college romance. They do not support it but do not oppose it either, and just allow these things to develop.

Gao Yuan’s speech today gave Principal Huang a lot to think about.

"Principal, I think most schools are a little conservative in this matter." Gao Yuan offered his own suggestion. "The domestic system is very strict from elementary school to high school, but suddenly becomes loose in college. Because in the eyes of most people, college students are basically adults and have their own judgment and analytical abilities."

"In fact, this is not the case. These students still lack effective judgment and are still confused about many things. The university system needs to be reformed. We cannot change other schools, but we can change Zhejiang University. I suggest that the school can add some courses on love and gender education."

"Let more students know this knowledge. Every year, there are many dangerous incidents of dropping out of school due to pregnancy or going to small clinics for abortion. Even in Zhejiang University, such incidents happen from time to time."

"This situation is unavoidable and must be guided to minimize the losses."

"Secondly, the rigid university system must keep pace with the times. To give the simplest example, the course of career guidance for college graduates is supposed to provide guidance for college students, but the content of the course is to let students learn the meaning, definition and connotation of employment... This course is just for show."

"Why can't we really provide help to students? For example, explain the labor contract to students, tell them how to deal with workplace bullying, and how to file a complaint if the company fails to pay their wages..."

Gao Yuan feels that these things are truly practical. They should allow students to be exposed to a large amount of information about society while in college, instead of schools doing nothing but providing classes and teaching.

"Student Gao Yuan, your suggestion makes sense. I will hold a meeting with the school's top management to discuss it when I return." Principal Huang nodded.

This statement is definitely not perfunctory, but many decisions must be made through consultation to make up for shortcomings and improve the system.

After all, Gao Yuan just put forward an idea.

To implement this idea, senior executives need to come up with practical measures.

"Besides this, does Gao Yuan have any other suggestions?" Principal Huang asked.

"That's all. Zhejiang University has done very well in other aspects," said Gao Yuan.

"Hahaha, Zhejiang University is inclusive and open. We welcome alumni to give us suggestions, and we will also consider their suggestions." President Huang said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet other alumni of our school."

Principal Huang took Gao Yuan around the venue and soon came to an elderly man in his sixties.

"This is Academician Ouyang from Zhejiang University, who studies aerospace," said President Huang.

"Hello, Academician Ouyang."

Gao Yuan lowered his posture and stretched out his right hand.

These people are true national heroes. It is because of their existence that China has achieved its current status.

"You're welcome, Mr. Gao." Academician Ouyang smiled and shook hands with Gao Yuan. "I heard that you plan to work with Musk on aviation technology. I admire your approach."

Academician Ouyang said sincerely, "Currently, most aviation research projects are led by international forces, and there are very few private individuals involved in the aviation field."

The bottom line is that aviation technology is too expensive, and ordinary people simply don't have the financial support to do so.

Although most people are unaware of Gao Yuan and Musk's collaboration, experts in the aviation field have more or less heard some rumors.

"I'm not that noble. I'm just really interested in aviation technology," Gao Yuan said. "The universe is so vast that the planet we live on is not even a grain of sand in the universe. When I was a kid watching 100,000 Whys, I always wondered if there were aliens in the world and if there were any planets suitable for human survival."

"The desire for knowledge is the best teacher," said Academician Ouyang. "Every time I look at the night sky, I am always amazed at the beauty of the starry sky. The starry sky is endless, and humans cannot even set foot on the nearest planet. As for what Gao Yuan said about aliens, I think there should be aliens in this vast universe."

"And the existence of aliens is not scary, the absence of aliens is the scariest thing."

The presence of aliens represents that the emergence of human beings is not accidental.

If there are no aliens, it is highly likely that humans are fish in a tank, and this world may not be real.

In the vast universe, even the smallest probability will appear.

Gao Yuan's conversation with Academician Ouyang went deeper and deeper, and in the end they had already touched upon some real aviation technology.

This is the most cutting-edge theory, some of which even Academician Ouyang doesn’t quite understand.

When Academician Ouyang heard these technologies from Gao Yuan, his eyes lit up. Sometimes he would think for several minutes before communicating.

Principal Huang naturally couldn't listen to these things because his major was not aviation.

When discussing things like aliens, he can even get a few words in.

But after exchanging professional knowledge, Principal Huang left tactfully.

Gao Yuan talked a lot with Academician Ouyang, and was still reluctant to leave until the end of the banquet.

……

the next morning.

Although Zhejiang University’s anniversary celebration has ended, most alumni are still staying at Zhejiang University.

Some want to stroll around Zhejiang University and taste the delicacies of that time.

Some alumni have also found like-minded friends and plan to have in-depth exchanges and engage in business cooperation.

Some alumni wanted to get close to Gao Yuan, so they stayed. At this time, Gao Yuan was in the conference room of Zhejiang University.

Yesterday, Gao Yuan donated 100 billion to Zhejiang University, which caused an uproar on the Internet.

Today is the day to sign the donation agreement.

At the meeting, President Huang delivered a solemn speech on behalf of Zhejiang University and welcomed Gao Yuan's donation to Zhejiang University.

Then, Principal Huang asked Gao Yuan if he had any other ideas about the donation.

For example, setting up grants and scholarships in Gao Yuan’s name.

"Principal Huang, this is how I think the 100 billion yuan should be used," Gao Yuan said. "One billion yuan will be used to support the school's development, such as purchasing some advanced equipment and machinery for the school and setting up a scholarship with a total value of 10 million yuan."

"I have roughly calculated that the bank can give about 4% of large deposits, which is about 1200 million yuan per year. At a rate of 5000 yuan per person, 2400 students can be provided with scholarships to help them complete their studies."

These 2400 students include undergraduates, masters and doctoral students.

There are about 6 students enrolled in Zhejiang University, and nearly one-twenty-fourth of the students will receive scholarships, so the chance is still very high.

"The remaining 90 billion will be divided into three parts, which will be invested in artificial intelligence, robots and chips. Our Yuanfang Group can cooperate with Zhejiang University to set up Yuanfang Class."

"As long as you are from Yuanfang Class and have excellent exam results, you can work at Yuanfang Group."

This is an alternative form of school-enterprise cooperation.

Helping Zhejiang University cultivate talents can also increase the employment rate of Zhejiang University.

Gao Yuan has his own concerns. China still has too few talents in this area.

The scientific and technological community as a whole is still dominated by Western countries. If it is a one-to-one battle, China will not lose, but China is facing dozens of Western countries.

These Western countries are in collusion with each other and target China on many levels.

Therefore, we must vigorously cultivate scientific researchers in our own country.

Although he had a loyalty card, Gao Yuan still didn't quite trust the people recruited from Western countries.

He hopes that the backbone of Yuanfang Group in the future will all be of Chinese nationality, and some may even be graduates of Zhejiang University.

After hearing Gao Yuan's request, Principal Huang felt relieved.

He thought Gao Yuan would make some unconventional requests, but he didn't expect them to be only about scientific research.

This is easy to handle.

"No problem!" Principal Huang agreed immediately. "We will arrange the scholarship as soon as possible. As for the three majors of artificial intelligence, robotics, and chips, in addition to Gao Yuan's sponsorship, Zhejiang University will also provide strong support."

These three industries represent the direction of the future.

Especially chip technology, which has always been blocked by foreign countries.

Although China has developed chips, there is still a big gap compared with foreign chips.

We must catch up and break through the blockade of Western countries.

"I plan to set up three distant classes, each with about 60 students. The college entrance examination scores of these 60 students must be at least in the top 500 in each province. After entering the distant classes, I will design a unique teaching system and hire academic masters from home and abroad to provide guidance and lectures."

"In terms of scientific research, we are in line with Yuanfang Group."

As long as there is money, those academic giants will be happy to do it.

At this point, most of Gao Yuan’s goals in coming to Zhejiang University have been achieved.

"There is one more thing, President Huang. I plan to stay at Zhejiang University for a while." Gao Yuan said, "Since graduation, I have felt that I am lacking in knowledge. I want to have in-depth exchanges with some big guys."

The so-called big guys naturally refer to the academicians.

Ordinary teachers can't teach Gao Yuan.

Those academicians have been working in the industry for many years and have their own unique insights in many aspects.

Gao Yuan benefited a lot from communicating with these academicians.

In addition, Gao Yuan also wants to establish good relationships with these academicians, and eventually have them work part-time at Yuanfang Group, and help solve Yuanfang Group's technical problems when necessary.

"You are most welcome!" Principal Huang said quickly. "I originally wanted to hire Gao Yuan as an honorary professor of our school to teach students in the business administration and MBA classes."

"I didn't expect you to want to stay at Zhejiang University. How about this? This afternoon... no, when my meeting is over, I will have someone arrange accommodation for you. It will be a professor-level single-family villa."

"In addition, you can choose the course time freely."

Apart from anything else, if the news that Gao Yuan is an honorary professor of Zhejiang University were to be released, I'm afraid many candidates would apply to Zhejiang University this year.

This is definitely a golden sign for admissions!
The admissions office can save a lot of effort.

In addition, Gao Yuan donated 100 billion yuan to Zhejiang University, so the Admissions Office will not have to work for several years.

"I mainly want to learn and discuss with some professors in scientific research." Gao Yuan said, "I will give a few MBA courses when I have time."

"No problem! It's based on your time."

Principal Huang said.

As long as Gao Yuan can agree, it is more important than anything else.

……

Next, the donation ceremony officially began.

Under the attention of school senior management and media reporters, Gao Yuan signed a donation agreement with President Huang of Gu Du University.

"Kakaka..."

The reporters pressed the shutter buttons to freeze this moment.

Not long after, this scene appeared on the Internet, making the presidents of other domestic universities extremely envious.

It is really a blessing for the school that such a celebrity has emerged from the school.

Tsinghua University and Peking University in Beijing.

After reading the news, Principal Wang immediately made a phone call, hoping to hire Gao Yuan as a visiting professor at the school.

Little did he know that President Huang of Zhejiang University had already made all these arrangements, and Gao Yuan was destined not to go to any other school.

After the donation ceremony, a group of reporters gathered around.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, may I ask why you donated 100 billion to Zhejiang University?"

“Mr. Gao Yuan, you donated so much money, what do you think about this matter?”

Faced with questions from numerous reporters, Zhejiang University President Huang simply sought Gao Yuan's opinion and held a press conference at the school.
