After finishing his work in Nanjing, Zhao Yi did not fly back to Kyoto, but went directly to Nanchang because the school's building decoration had been completed. It was impossible for two construction companies to complete such a huge building complex in such a short period of time. In addition to the large amount of manpower invested in the construction work, the construction machinery of the machinery company also helped a lot, making the construction efficiency more than four times higher than before.
When Zhao Yi arrived at Tianwen University, President Jiang Ping and people from the two major construction companies came. Speaking of which, besides his involvement in the preliminary work of Tianwen University, Jiang Ping was responsible for other chores and the recruitment of domestic teachers. When he met Principal Jiang this time, he felt a little guilty. It seemed that he had become a hands-off shopkeeper again.
On the night of his return, Zhao Yi hosted a banquet for President Jiang and the main people in charge of the two major construction companies here, and thanked them for their strong support for Tianwen University, which allowed Tianwen University to proceed with the enrollment process as scheduled. Although these construction periods are written in the contract, you still need to express your gratitude. This is the purpose of this banquet.
The next day, Zhao Yi followed the person in charge of the construction company to visit the entire campus. The entire campus revolved around the Qianhu Lake. The various colleges were arranged around the Qianhu Lake. Each college had an independent space and could be organically combined together. .
There is a large artificial lake inside each college. There are pavilions and pavilions on the lake and the scenery is pleasant. This will be used as a leisure place for teachers and students of the school.
At the same time, each college has also built a small library inside, and the books collected are all about the professional knowledge of the college.
This design is because the entire school is too big. If only one very large library is built, students will need to spend more than 40 minutes on their way to the library every day.
In this way, it is very convenient to build a small library in your own college, which contains books related to the professional knowledge of your college.
Of course, a super large library has also been built in the center of the entire school, which contains a more complete collection of books in various categories. This is for students who need to learn knowledge that does not belong to their major.
This independence is also reflected in the experimental buildings and teaching buildings. The experimental buildings and teaching buildings of each college are independent and are only used by their own colleges. As for large public courses such as advanced mathematics and college English, they are not required. Go take classes with another college.
Each college has open-air sports venues and indoor venues. If it is a small college, such as the School of Art and the School of Literature, the sports venues are shared, and their libraries are also shared. The method is to have a small number of people and occupy a small area. Only in this way will resources not be wasted.
Zhao Yi walked around the teaching building. The tables and chairs inside had been installed, and the blackboard and projector equipment had been installed. Then there is the experimental building. Some basic experimental equipment is already in place, but there is no high-precision experimental equipment. According to Jiang Ping, these equipment are not available in China and must be purchased abroad. He tried to contact foreign equipment. manufacturer, but due to foreign embargoes, the purchase was not successful.
Following Zhao Yi's suggestion, Principal Jiang has placed an order with the Precision Instrument Company, hoping that they can supply the goods as soon as possible. In fact, we are not particularly anxious about these advanced experimental equipment, because we cannot use such advanced equipment for teaching for the time being. The reason why these are needed is, firstly, for the use of school experts and scholars, and secondly, students can use these devices when they are graduate or doctoral students.
After visiting the laboratory building, we went to the library. Since the information design was reserved during the design, the current library is not only a collection of books, but also a digital library. At present, the library has begun to Books are digitally photocopied and entered.
After all is completed, students do not necessarily need to go to the library to borrow books. They can also borrow books online and browse them on the computer. It may not be needed yet, but we should start this work now. After all, the collection of books is very large and the work cycle is very long.
After visiting the entire school, Zhao Yi was very satisfied and expressed his gratitude to the two construction companies again.
After seeing them off, Zhao Yi and Principal Jiang came to his office to discuss enrollment matters. The college entrance examination was coming soon, and this work had to start immediately.
"Mr. Zhao, currently we are not qualified to issue undergraduate diplomas, which is very detrimental to our enrollment plan." Jiang Ping spoke out the important issue as soon as he sat down.
Zhao Yi also knew the importance of this matter, so he said: "You can provide me with a list of experts and professors, and I will invite some important experts and scholars here to increase our teaching staff. And the teacher-student ratio must be 1:10 or higher.
After we return, we will work separately. You are responsible for increasing the recruitment of grassroots teachers. The salary can be 5 to 10 times the average salary. However, in addition to strong professional knowledge, you also need good teacher ethics. We will not accept any stains. As for top experts and scholars, some of them have agreed to come and teach, while others are still hesitant. I will visit them personally.
After finishing these things, we will go to the Ministry of Education to discuss with them the qualifications for issuing undergraduate degrees, and strive for the qualifications for unified admission to the college entrance examination. I think if these conditions are met, it should be easier. "
Tianwen University is a private university and can recruit students independently. However, if it has the unified admission qualification for the college entrance examination, it can also recruit some students from among the college entrance examination candidates every year, which is a supplement.
"As for the enrollment plan, our enrollment must be carried out before the college entrance examination. We will first retain some talents, and then recruit some talents uniformly after the college entrance examination. The goal is to recruit a total of 15,000 freshmen, and the total number of students in the entire undergraduate stage is 60,000. There are about 30,000 places for graduate students, and the remaining 30,000 places are reserved for graduate students. Basically, 10,000 graduate students are recruited every year, and 20,000 places are reserved for doctoral students, with an average enrollment of 5,000 people every year. Of course, this is the maximum number of places. We would rather have a shortage than an excess. If If there are not enough outstanding students, the enrollment quota for graduate and doctoral students can be appropriately reduced."
Due to time constraints, after discussing the enrollment matter, Zhao Yi took the list given by Jiang Ping, and then followed Zhou Ling's instructions to first start poaching people from various universities and research institutions in the country, and then flew non-stop to various parts of the world. The purpose is to poach people.
Since Zhou Ling has given the actual needs of these talents who can be poached, now that they know their needs, things will be much easier to handle. Because they are targeted, the poaching operation goes smoothly.
By the end of June, Zhao Yi had hired a total of 5 Nobel Prize scholars, 4 Fields Medal mathematicians, and 500 scholars and workers who had won relatively well-known international awards, as well as young people who Zhou Ling felt had great potential. There are more than 2,000 scholars. Together with domestic experts and professors, the total number of teachers reaches 12,000.
Taking this transcript, Zhao Yi and President Jiang rushed to the Ministry of Education to discuss with them the qualifications for granting the school undergraduate education, graduate students, and doctoral students in some disciplines.
Because Zhao Yi's teacher list is so dazzling, it can be regarded as the best in the country. If he can't even obtain a bachelor's degree education qualification, it will be unreasonable, and he is deliberately looking for trouble.
As for the qualifications of graduate students and doctoral students, it depends on the teaching staff of this major. It makes no sense that a Nobel Prize winner cannot teach doctoral students.
All in all, the negotiation went smoothly, and after obtaining the relevant qualifications, Principal Jiang returned to the school immediately and started recruiting students. Fortunately, it's not too late. (End of chapter)
