On the outskirts of Koro City, a European manor-style building covering an area of 2,000 acres is located here. The solemn main building exudes a college atmosphere, and the green lawn makes everything full of vitality. At this moment, at the door of this luxurious building, a dark crowd stood together. As far as the eye could see, they were all young faces, and those faces were all filled with enthusiasm.
The person standing on the high platform at the door is our protagonist Jiang Chen.
First of all, let me state that this is not Jiang Chen’s manor, but a newly built university...
Well, there is actually no essential difference between the two.
The moment Jiang Chen stood on the podium, the crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers. The people in the audience waved the small national flag of the new country and the small flag with the emblem of the Future People Group on it, paying tribute to the high-ranking official who led the new country to prosperity. Technology business leaders paid their highest respects.
In the hearts of young people, he undoubtedly already has an unshakable influence.
Wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, Jiang Chen stood still on the podium, smiled and waved to the crowd, then picked up the microphone.
"Your enthusiasm really shocked me. This is probably the most enthusiastic public speech I have ever attended."
Seeing Jiang Chen waving to him, the cheers from the audience came like a wave.
"Look, look! He's waving to me!" A tall beauty pulled her best friend and shouted excitedly.
"Ah! He looked over~"
"Long live Jiang Chen! Long live the new country! Long live the Future People Group!"
“…”
Looking at the eager eyes in the audience, Jiang Chen's lips curled into a smile. Although this was not the first time he stood under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, no matter how many times he faced this scene, he still couldn't help but feel excited. The young people in the audience are all the future elites of the new country. They come from the new country and even the whole world. To be able to have these arrogant intellectuals worship you is a great sense of accomplishment.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost settled, he cleared his throat and made his opening remarks.
“It is an honor for me to stand here and, as the first president of the University of Coro, deliver the opening address to our first class of freshmen.”
The applause rang out and then gradually stopped.
The sounds at the scene gradually calmed down, and the eyes of everyone gathered here. In response to the expectations in those eyes, Jiang Chen continued.
"I don't talk much, and I believe you don't want to hear me read a lot of school rules and regulations. Here, I will talk about why the University of Coro was established."
"I have always emphasized the importance of technology. Technology is changing our lives, changing the earth beneath our feet, and will also change the solar system and even the galaxy in the future."
"And what will achieve all this is not money, nor NB's experimental equipment, nor a principal who can only brag to you... "
After a pause, Jiang Chen glanced at every student in the audience.
"It's you who are about to take part in it."
"I believe this is why you entrust your future to us."
The applause was like thunder, and the passionate and ambitious faces in the audience reminded Jiang Chen of himself seven years ago. At that time, I had a similar mood and entered the university, a small social dyeing vat, preparing to pursue my ambitions in the field of mechanical automation...
In the end, he became a salesperson and was laid off.
He never thought that this was because of his lack of ability. At most, he chose the wrong path blindly, or chose a path that was not suitable for him too perfunctorily. He always believes that no one is a genius, and mediocrity is just because he has not found a non-mediocre way.
Amid the media's flashbulbs and thunderous applause, Jiang Chen strode forward, waved his hand and peeled off the red brocade on the school monument, exposing the four gold-encrusted characters of Cologne University to the eyes of the world. Also recorded in history at this time was the school motto inscribed on the stone tablet.
"Discover, try, change."
This is also the purpose of the University of Coro.
To discover, not to instill. Discover the strengths of each student and guide them to find the path that suits them. Those seemingly small forces will eventually give birth to the power to change the entire world.
…
Education is a strong foundation for the development of a country. As early as the establishment of Koro Island, Jiang Chen was planning to build a world-class institution of higher learning so that the new country can get rid of its dependence on foreign high-tech talents and truly achieve the independent development of high-end talents. Self-produced and sold.
But now, he finally fulfilled his original idea.
Koro University temporarily has six colleges, School of Economics and Management, School of Information Technology, School of Engineering Technology, School of Life Sciences, School of Science, and School of Aerospace Technology. When the teaching team is sufficient, the School of Law, School of Culture and Media, and School of Marine Resources Development will be opened in the future.
The education foundation of New Zealand is very weak, and there is simply not enough teaching staff to support a university.
But here lies the charm of capital. Although it is just a bunch of green money, it has the power to change the world.
Future Man Group announced the establishment of the New Country Education Foundation and will inject US$1 billion into Coro University in the name of the foundation, while injecting more than US$100 million annually. The US$1 billion will be used to pay teachers' salaries, purchase advanced experimental equipment, improve the teaching environment, and most importantly, recruit people.
If there are no professors in New Zealand who can teach, then go to overseas universities to buy them!
Harvard, Imperial College, MIT... As long as they fit the bill, buy them all regardless of the cost! Jiang Chen didn't believe that the professors and scholars who received the invitation letters were not tempted by the high salary and top-notch experimental equipment.
As for cost? That wasn't what he was thinking about at all.
Money stored in the bank is just a pile of waste paper. If you save too much, it will still make people miss you. Its value can only be reflected when you spend it. Education is the only investment that will never lose money. Jiang Chen has always believed in this!
While expanding the hard power of Cologne University, Jiang Chen has not relaxed its efforts to supplement its soft power.
Every year, Future People Group will provide 5,000 internship positions to Coro University and recruit at least 3,000 people from them to work in various branches of the group.
For students who have outstanding performance in certain aspects, Future People Group will also directly sign a contract with them, fully bearing their tuition and living expenses during school, and agreeing to work in Future People Group after graduation. At the same time, the New Country Education Foundation will also set up a total of 1,000 scholarship awards, and allocate a total of US$10 million as scholarships every year to students with outstanding performance or in need of help.
This is undoubtedly great news for international students in China and even around the world.
The former solves worries, while the latter solves immediate tasks. For those young people who are deeply infected by the Internet, what could be more attractive than working in the Future People Group? As for tuition and living expenses, as long as you can get a scholarship, you don’t even need to spend a penny from your family to study for four years. (.)
