Rewrite the Technological Landscape - Chapter 998

At the end of August, Meng Qian was drinking tea in Sun Xiaojing’s office.

　　 “I heard that the number of international students returning to China this year has hit a record high?”

Sun Xiaojing responded while making tea, “Well, it’s mainly from the U.S. side. The most funny thing is that the U.S. has recently seen the situation of overseas students returning to China. Public opinion has begun to say that the U.S. is now cultivating talents for China. Maybe it will further target overseas students .”

　　 Meng Qian was directly amused by this set of remarks, “China has been training talents for the United States for decades. What have we said, and a few complaints have to be mocked by a group of people on the Internet.

　　 Now that some talents come back, they will be rushed into this. “

　　”Isn’t this their current logic, saying that China has taken advantage of them? It doesn’t count how much advantage they have taken over the past few decades.

　　 Now that we are strong, it has become that we take advantage of it, and it has become a way of cultivating talents for us. Anyway, they must take advantage of the benefits. “

　　 “However, if this situation continues to intensify, it is indeed not a good thing for future international students.” Meng Qian is somewhat worried about future international students.

　　Sun Xiaojing handed the tea cup to Meng Qian, “Are you sure of the meeting tomorrow?”

　　 “I’m not sure, after all, there are indeed some people who are conservative in their thinking.” Meng Qian turned his teacup with his hand, “You come with me tomorrow.”

“Great.”

　　…

　　 On August 25, a meeting not open to the outside world was held in Yanjing. At the meeting, leaders from the Ministry of Education, Tsinghua Yandajiang University and other major universities attended the meeting.

　　 The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education first came to the stage to set the tone.

　　”After the Industrial Revolution, Britain began to emphasize the construction of British universities and help Britain become an empire that never sets.

　　In the early nineteenth century, Germany created research universities and helped Germany build a strong talent base, and even the rise of Germany after World War II was closely related to German education, and Germany’s research university education model has influenced the world for two hundred years.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the Neon Country began to increase its investment in university construction. Keio University in 1858, the University of Tokyo in 1877, Waseda University in 1882, and Kyoto University in 1897 cultivated a large number of top-notch universities for the Neon Country. Talents helped Neon Nation establish its status as an Asian power in that period.

　　 At the end of the 19th century, the U.S. transformed a large number of universities into modern research universities, which established a solid foundation for the influx of talents into the U.S. after World War II.

　　 It can be said that the strong foundation of any country is the strong education, especially the strong higher education.

　　 For the former China, the foundation in many aspects was not enough to support us to build a world-class university, but now China has a foundation, and it is more urgent to build a world-class university.

　　 The most basic thing is the problem of self-confidence. Now that our economy has developed and technology has also developed, our students still need to go abroad to study. This is a matter of depressing self-confidence.

　　 So to gather everyone together today is to hope that everyone can express their opinions and discuss together how we should build a world-class university in China. “

“First of all, I want to say something.” Qiu Yong, president of Tsinghua University, raised his hand to indicate, “We do not have a world-class university now, but from the perspective of the construction of a world-class university, it took 100 years for the United States to go from zero to a world-class university. The university has developed into the world’s largest education country, and I remember that the first time we talked about this issue was almost 20 years ago.

I have communicated with many old professors in the U.S. and inquired a lot of information. From the perspective of the level of the professor team, the basic environment of scientific research and the international scientific research results, we have at least completed the first 60% of the road and at least reached the pass. line.

　　 So we can’t be in a hurry. This matter must have enough time to settle, but our development speed is indeed very fast.

　　 Then I want to put forward my point of view. I think the most important and most important thing we should do now is to build a world-class team of professors.

　　 For a university, the level of the professor team basically determines the education level of the school.

And now the situation of our domestic professor team is small and sophisticated. We have cultivated a group of world-class professors in some fields, so I think we should spend more energy on this group of elite professors to consolidate our lives. With the world-class education level in these fields, we first established a group of world-class majors. “

　　 “Will this increase the deviation between majors?” Someone immediately came up with an idea.

“The investment in higher education is huge, and there are sometimes problems of luck in cultivating a team of world-class professors. We can’t expect to achieve large and precise higher education issues in a short period of time. Of course, if the country is willing to spend a few dollars a year Trillions to promote the development of higher education, so I didn’t say this.”

　　 Everyone smiled. Although everyone knows that the country seriously wants to attach importance to higher education, it is impossible to die and spend money. If it is really so bad, it would be fine.

“In fact, even if you really spend money like this, some things may not be able to come out.” Hao Ping, the president of Yan University, continued the topic. “And speaking of the problem of spending money, I think the salary of teachers in our colleges and universities should be reformed. , Putting that set of the past to the point of bluntness now is to be lazy.

　　 For professors in public colleges and universities, what exactly should salary performance bonuses be linked to? It must be subdivided at this stage.

We can’t always build a laboratory and apply for 3 billion yuan and then approve it. Every time we propose a professor’s salary reform plan, we will discuss it again. Since we want to build a world-class university, we must start from top to bottom. Go to the end to change. “

　　 Hao Ping’s words are very straightforward, but this is a good phenomenon. If you don’t talk about it, if you don’t solve all the problems that should be solved, what can you do to build a world-class university?

“Since the issue of salary of university professors is mentioned, I happen to have a question for you.” The leader of the Ministry of Education said, “If we want to compare the salary of top professors, the gap between us and U.S. universities is not small, but everyone is also I know that the main income of the world-class universities in the United States comes from donations, and the income of our universities in China is very small. This is actually a question we often discuss, whether we have to rely on state subsidies to make up for this in the long term. gap.

　　 There is another question. In your opinion, why our colleges and universities donate so meagrely. Many alumni donations even require school leaders to dislike it. Is it simply because our education level is low? “

　　 As soon as the leader finished asking this question, the leaders of many colleges and universities subconsciously turned their heads to look at Meng Qian, who was sitting on the sidelines and said nothing. The leader didn’t respond at once, and almost asked what you guys are doing.

Meng Qian noticed everyone’s eyes, and immediately adjusted the slightly relaxed posture, and coughed slightly, “Ahem, um… The donation received by West Lake University last year was indeed not low, almost five times that of Tsinghua University. The difference in donations from alumni accounted for nearly 30%.”

Some people here know this data, some people don’t, and those who don’t know this data are somewhat shocked. After all, West Lake University has only been officially a university for a few years. How many alumni can there be? How many rich alumni have just graduated?

Seeing why those who don’t know this situation are full of why, Meng Qian took the initiative, “University donations are mainly through two main channels, one is donations from alumni and the other is social donations. Generally speaking, the donation rate of alumni of famous schools is At 30%.

　　We want to discuss the issue of donations from universities~www.mtlnovel.com~ Actually, there is no need to make it too complicated, just to understand why everyone should donate.

　　 I have donated money to many universities in the United States, and I have also donated a lot. My donations at Harvard and Yale are more than 100 million meters gold, and Harvard now has a library named after me.

　　 Why should I donate? Is it because I admire those universities?

　　 Of course, I do respect those colleges and universities, but the most real reason is that people over there can work in Dafeng Group.

　　 As for why alumni want to donate, I donate to Jiangda every year. If you ask me why I donate, my first reaction is because I have money.

　　 But we can see that some alumni who don’t make much income also donate, and they are even more active than me. I asked them why they are grateful, but they cannot deny the need for fame, wealth and resources.

　　 I have seen the list of donations from famous U.S. universities. Business schools and liberal arts colleges have long accounted for more than half of U.S. university alumni donations, and many of these donors are not very wealthy.

　　 So in my opinion, whether it is social donation or alumni donation, it is not necessary to look too noble. In essence, it is a matter of profit.

　　 The amount of donations received by our Huaxia University every year is low, mainly because we are not able to bring others’ benefits to temptation enough. “

　　 It seems strange to face the temptation to talk about the benefits of education, but Meng Qian must put this thing on the table, otherwise, the following things will not be able to talk about it.
