Chapter 248 Borrowing the East Wind

In the past few years, domestic universities and various research and development units have been most short of funds. Except for universities in Yanjing and Shanghai, funds are still relatively sufficient, but they also use self-financed students to supplement funds.

This is true for the universities in these two places. You can imagine the kind of life most universities and R&D institutions in other places have.

Those who make missiles are not as good as those who sell tea eggs, and those who hold scalpels are not as good as those who hold razors. Although it is a joke, it also shows that in recent years, practitioners related to academia have had a difficult life. How good.

Starting next year, the road to self-financing students will begin to be blocked. The benefits of the previous university, including distribution, free tuition and living expenses, have also been terminated, and the era of self-financed universities has begun.

The arrival of the era of self-funded college is a kind of adjustment for both colleges and universities, and for those who go to college. Now many people are worried.

However, this is not the case for all universities. For example, Hanxi Jiaotong University has been doing quite well in recent years. The Zhixing Foundation donates a fund to Hanxi Jiaotong University every year. The most important thing is the emergence of the Hanxi Jiaotong University.

Relying on the cooperation with the Hanxi Joint Laboratory, Hanxi Jiaotong University has gained considerable profits, especially behind the explosive sales of electronic pet machines, Shenzhou digital cordless phones, and PHS, many departments and professors in Hanxi have personnel Participate in research and development.

Although at the time of the original agreement, the patents, technologies, and products developed by the Hanxi Joint Laboratory belonged to Dongling Hi-Tech.

However, Dongling Hi-tech did not cheat Hanxi Jiaotong University. As long as the research and development results were achieved, Hanxi Jiaotong University would be given a share of the profits.

In the first half of this year alone, in the Hanxi Joint Laboratory of Hanxi Jiaotong University, due to the hot sales of Shenzhou digital cordless phones and PHS, in addition to the personnel involved in R&D receiving generous returns, Hanxi Jiaotong University also received more than two The revenue share of RMB 200 million serves as R&D funding for Hanxi Jiaotong University!

According to the R&D funding investment of major domestic universities last year, this share in the first half of the year was second only to Huaqing, Peking University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan, Qiantang University and other famous universities. You must know Huaqing’s R&D funding last year. , just over 400 million.

By making a horizontal comparison, you will know how Hanxi Jiaotong University is doing today, and you can also understand the significance of the emergence of Dongling High-Tech and Hanxi Jiaotong University Joint Laboratory to Hanxi Jiaotong University. From a financial point of view, Hanxi Jiaotong University is currently R&D funding is already among the top among domestic universities.

This can also be used to know that there are universities in provincial capitals in Hanxi Province. I think their eyes are a little red when they look at Hanxi Jiaotong University.

Of course, compared with the annual funding received by top foreign universities such as Harvard and Stanford, as well as the benefits provided to scientific researchers, whether it is Hanxi Jiaotong University or Huaqing University, it is far behind. This is not a day's work. can be changed.

In the office of the dean of the Mining Department of NPU in Hanxi Province, many leaders of NPU were gathered here. The huge amount of money came suddenly and without any precaution.

"The Zhixing Foundation has always been close to Hanxi Jiaotong University, so why did it suddenly come to our NPU?!" A school leader of NPU couldn't help but say.

Zhan Zhikai, who is in charge of the funds of NPU, was not happy when he heard this. Look how gray his hair has become in recent years. Before he was in charge of the big money bag of NPU, he had black hair. In recent years, he has really been worried about money. Headed.

Everyone at NPU wanted to get money from him while eating, drinking, and eating. The young teacher complained that his salary was not as much as the people who set up stalls at the school gate. They clamored for a salary increase. The old professor asked him for R&D funding, and he We also need to provide subsidies for students from poor families.

Now, the God of Wealth has finally arrived, and the people at the Western Polytechnic University are still suspicious. The money sent to him by the Zhixing Foundation means that even if the King of Heaven comes, he will have to keep this money.

Zhan Zhikai also envies Hanxi Jiaotong University. He also wants to provide subsidies to students at NPU. However, Hanxi Jiaotong University can take away more than 200 million R&D funds from the joint laboratory in half a year and provide three meals a day to the entire Hanxi Jiaotong University students. Canteen subsidies, where will he get the money to subsidize them? The food prices at Hanxi Jiaotong University are now the best and cheapest in the entire Hanxi Province. This is based on the fact that the subsidies provided by Hanxi Jiaotong University are sufficient. Many students from foreign schools have come to Hanxi Jiaotong University. Eat some food in the cafeteria of Xi'an Jiaotong University to replenish your appetite.

There is no harm without comparison. Compare the treatment provided by Hanxi Jiaotong University to teachers and students. It is cheap and well-oiled meals, and it is planning to build a new computer building, new staff dormitories, and new student dormitories. In Hanxi Province, As a senior colonel, he was often criticized for being criticized, and Zhan Zhikai was often scolded for being stingy.

"What's wrong with our NPU? Our Mining Department is one of the top five majors in China, and it's also well-known internationally. Why can't we accept the donation from the Zhixing Foundation?!"

Zhan Zhikai patted the table and said, although the money was donated to the Department of Mining and Metallurgy, the entire NPU is short of funds. Part of this donation will be reserved for the Department of Mining and Metallurgy, but the rest will be used elsewhere. There is no way around it.

Zou Shiyan, who was sitting in his office, looked at the noisy office that was about to become a vegetable market. He was also worried. Now the mining and metallurgy department is not a popular major. The demand for steel is strong. There is naturally a lot of demand for related practitioners. Every unit has want.

But it is not an unpopular major, but it does not mean that it has become a popular major. The Zhixing Foundation suddenly came to the door and donated tens of millions, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the total R&D funding received by NPU this year!
This not only shocked the Mining and Metallurgical Department, but also the entire NPU.

After coughing, Zou Shiyan opened his mouth and said to Zhan Zhikai and other school leaders, "I think it would be better to call Lao Han from Hanxi Jiaotong University. He is the dean of the Radio School of Hanxi Jiaotong University, and he is with the Zhixing Foundation. We are familiar with each other and must know the situation!”

Hearing this, Zhan Zhikai and others looked at each other and nodded. The Zhixing Foundation suddenly came to the door and made such a large donation. It was obvious that they had something to ask for. Although it was a donation, the matter could not be accomplished. Zhixing Foundation There's nothing you can do about it. You can deal with the other two sides, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with either.

If possible, why don't NPU not want to be like Hanxi Jiaotong University and become a partner institution of the joint laboratory, and jointly develop projects with Donglin Hi-Tech? Hanxi Jiaotong University is a living example of developing products for Dongling Hi-Tech, and can get a lot of funds!

In the Hanxi Jiaotong University, Han Qianyi, who was sitting in his dean's office and sipping tea, heard the phone ringing on the table. He put down his teacup leisurely and smiled at Liu Youguo sitting opposite, "Let's make a bet. This phone call It’s from Western Polytechnic University!”

"I'm not interested in making any bets with you!"

Liu Youguo didn't answer at all and looked at an application form in his hand for reorganization and transfer of radio technology. The radio major is now the most popular major at Hanxi Jiaotong University.

But now, radio technology can no longer keep up with the times, especially the newly emerging majors in computers, mobile phones, communications, etc., so Han Qianyi decided to reorganize the radio major of Hanxi Jiaotong University into the School of Information and Communication Engineering.

This does not mean that just changing the name is enough. It is necessary to recruit more professional teachers, purchase professional teaching equipment, compile more tutorials, and set up more majors. Naturally, more students will be recruited, and the cost will be considerable. It's not a small amount, but the current radio technology major is not short of money and has sufficient funds to support Han Qianyi in doing this.

Han Qianyi is not annoyed at all by Liu Youguo's attitude. Liu Youguo is the god of wealth in his department and even Hanxi Jiaotong University. The team he leads brings huge R&D funds to Hanxi Jiaotong University every year. In addition, he is also Li Dongling. , Chen Tao and others, even if he walked sideways in Hanxi Jiaotong University, there would probably be someone paving the way for him.

"It's cheaper at NPU!" Han Qianyi muttered before picking up the phone. There's no other way. Who knows that NPU has produced talented people like academicians?

After talking to Han Qianyi on the phone, Zou Shiyan, Zhan Zhikai and other people from NPU could not help but feel refreshed when they found out what the Zhixing Foundation was about.

As long as it can invite academicians to join the carbon fiber fishing rod laboratory, then NPU will have the opportunity to get the same treatment as Hanxi Jiaotong University at Dongling High-Tech, and then waves of people from NPU will start He ran to Yanjing and asked academicians to come out.

Half a month later, Hanxi Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University and Harbin Institute of Technology successively announced that they would join the Continental Fishing Gear R&D Center and began to officially develop carbon fiber fishing rods. Later, Academician Shi, the first person in the country to make materials, joined the Continental Fishing Gear R&D Center as a R&D consultant. !
