There are a total of 6,217 freshmen in the first class. After half a year of preparatory courses, they will start their first academic year in early September this year.
Raphael Leif, the 17th president of MIT who took office in 2012, was hired by the headhunting company hired by Jiang Chen after his retirement with an annual salary of US$4 million. This is almost twice his previous annual salary. Even compared with the University of Chicago, which has the highest salary level, Jiang Chen's annual salary is a full 1 million higher.
In fact, to be honest, 65% of the people at Coro University are Chinese, and the school board of directors once suggested that Jiang Chen recruit people from Huaguo University. However, after careful consideration, Jiang Chen rejected this proposal. Putting aside the two aspects of identity and ability, he did not want to copy the bureaucratic management model of domestic universities to the new country.
As the first university in the new country, the University of Coro will be a model for the future education of the new country. Academic bureaucracy is by no means a good phenomenon. After exchanging opinions with scientists such as Lu Yuan and Amos, Jiang Chen finally made this decision.
Rather than cultivating a group of technicians with strong digestive abilities, Jiang Chen hopes that Cologne University can cultivate a group of scientists with strong innovative abilities.
After Raphael Leif arrived in the new country, Jiang Chen personally picked him up off the plane. Mr. Leif was also obviously flattered that Jiang Chen valued him so much. Although he has a good influence in the academic world, he cannot compare with Jiang Chen, the chairman of Futureman Group whose experience is legendary.
This gray-haired old man was wearing a suit and his body looked tougher than expected.
"I saw your speech at the University of Munich."
"Did I make you laugh?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Please don't be so humble. No one has more say in the field of artificial intelligence than you. Now there is another graphene. I think the boys from the University of Munich will be very grateful to you." Mr. Leif smiled and talked to Jiang Chen Shaked hands.
After a pause, he continued.
"To be honest, I was ready to retire, but after hearing about the educational philosophy of Coro University, I immediately felt that I could still work for a few more years. But before I started working, I had a condition, that is, I did not want the school board to My school philosophy interferes too much.”
"Don't worry, the school board will not have any interference in the running of your school. After you take office, I will give you the position of principal, only in the name of honorary principal. We are only responsible for providing funds, and you are responsible for helping us build a Pacific Ocean I went to MIT." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mr. Leif finally nodded with confidence.
Running a university is different from running a business. The accumulation of historical heritage and culture cannot be completed overnight. When the University of Coro really becomes a famous university that attracts worldwide attention, it will have to wait at least four years before the first graduates leave the campus.
The two chatted for a long time about the school-running model of Koro University.
Before saying goodbye, Leif suddenly spoke half-jokingly.
"Speaking of which, are you interested in giving lectures at my university in Coro? Although I can only offer you an annual salary of US$100,000."
"Me? I'm afraid I don't have anything to say." Jiang Chen laughed.
His academic qualifications are only a bachelor's degree and he has not even studied for a graduate degree. He knew very well what situation he was in. If he asked himself, it would be fine if he allowed himself to talk nonsense, but forget about giving lectures. That would simply mislead people.
"No, I think you still have a lot to learn from Koro students, but even you haven't discovered it yourself." Leif looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, "The motto of Koro University is to discover, try, and change ."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen spoke.
"...I will consider your opinion. But let me state in advance that I will only offer an elective course at most."
"I bet that's the most popular elective class," Leif said jokingly.
…
As Cologne University gradually got on the right track, Jiang Chen also shifted the focus of his work to the Future People Group.
Penglai City is about to be completed, the Global Commodity Expo, and the mobile phone that Futureman Technology is about to launch... When Jiang Chen personally participated in these tasks, he truly realized how huge the industry under his name was, and at the same time he felt , Xia Shiyu, who carries the weight of the entire group as a female streamer, how hard it usually is.
According to Jane's statistics, she has been living at an average pace of two meetings and 30 document approvals per day. Fortunately, Jane can help now. She used to review these documents manually.
In the evening, Jiang Chen sat in the chairman's office, holding coffee brewed by his secretary, looking out at the night view of Coro City outside the floor-to-ceiling window, thinking about the future development direction.
Tanaka has been sealed in the basement of Crescent Island, and the Black Ship Organization has ceased to exist in name only. With Mitsui Hongyuan's list in hand, the ghost agents have arrested most of the members of the Black Ship Asia branch, leaving only sporadic remnants fleeing in various places.
During the arrest and assassination of these people, the ghost agents sent by Jiang Chen discovered some strange phenomena.
Many members of the Black Ship organization have shown incredible abilities in their encounters with ghost agents... Like super powers
Based on intelligence feedback from agents, Ayesha compiled a summary of these abilities. Among them, the relatively normal ones include the enhancement of five senses, enhanced recovery ability, enhanced athletic ability, etc., while the unscientific ones include manipulation of magnetization, electric discharge, mental shock, etc...
Intuition told Jiang Chen that these abilities were probably related to hidden genetic codes. And these people... let's call them "superpowers", how exactly they can unlock the power of genetic codes without genetic medicine is still unknown.
Did the Black Ship transform them, or did they become members of the Black Ship because they had these special abilities
But how did Tanaka bring these people together.
With a sigh, Jiang Chen drank the remaining coffee in the cup. Originally, he was thinking about the direction of development, but for some reason, he thought of other things.
"Forget it, let's leave these minions to the ghost agents to deal with. As for the superpowers... let's capture some of them first and then study them slowly."
Putting the coffee cup on the table, Jiang Chen was about to ask the secretary on night duty to make another cup when there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Xia Shiyu opened the door and walked in holding a document.
Seeing her still working so late at night, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little apologetic on his face.
"Thanks a lot."
"No, this is my job." Tucking her hair behind her ears, Xia Shiyu said calmly, "... This one is the planning plan for the commodity expo, and this is the project plan, although I have already helped you It’s been reviewed, but it’s better to review it before signing.”
After receiving the document from Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen began the approval process under her guidance.
The faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose and lingers. Perhaps because he was so close, he could even feel her breathing and nervous heartbeat. (.)
