Chapter 1172: Generously helping students

Most of the students have left school, and the night in Xuefu Lane is still bright and the wine is green, the noise and bustle are everywhere, and the night is filled with high places where street lights cannot shine.

Sun Jingmeng set out from Hong Kong very early in the morning. At night, she was too sleepy and went back to rest with Chen Feirong and Zhou Xiaolu. Zhang Ke couldn't tell her that her room was always kept in the apartment on the top floor, so she could only stay with Du Fei. Meng Le continued to drink, and called Qin Gang to come over.

Qin Gang has been focusing on exploring the provincial computer education market in the past two years and does not take any position in the school. Dongda University does not want to be too clear about Jinhu, and has not kicked Qin Gang's personnel relations out of the school, and even some benefits will not be forgotten. In any case, Dongda University Chuangyu Computer Network Training School, where Qin Gang is the general manager, has 30% of Dongda University shares. Dongda University retains Qin Gang's personnel relations, at least in name can be regarded as the general manager of the online school. Of course, without this factor, Dongda University will not care about anything. Not to mention that Cui Guoheng and a group of scholars from the State Business Academy are receiving a subsidy from the Kumho Economic Research Center. The amount of funds donated to Dongda University every year is so much that other universities salivate.

As the school year ends, the new school year is about to begin, and a new round of donations to major universities in Dongda University and Jianye will begin. Qin Gang's first words when he saw Zhang Ke were: "Have the donation plan come out this year? Many people ask me for inquiries, what can I say to them?"

"The plan has just been discussed," said Zhang Ke, "there is not much change from last year."

Qin Gang knew about the donation situation last year, so he didn't ask anything more and asked Du Fei: "Is it because he called me so late to call me over to drink?"

Zhang Ke told him about transferring him to Century Huayu: "Century Huayu must be bigger and according to our usual practice, we will do some work on talent output channels. Although the donation plan does not include several art colleges such as Jianye Conservatory of Music, Century Huayu has an additional budget and can do some basic work this year..."

"Uh," Shi Xuebin said enviously, "If I had known that there was such a bad situation, I would have defected to Miss Sun Er - it would be a glorious thing to pay money to the Conservatory of Music. The leaders of the Conservatory of Music must choose two flower-level figures to accompany them to dinner to express their sincerity?"

"What if the leader of the Conservatory of Music picks Zuo Xiaoqing to accompany you for dinner?" Du Fei joked with Shi Xuebin's girlfriend.

"Then the Conservatory of Music will send three flower-level beauties to come out to have dinner with you," Shi Xuebin said with a smile, "Zuo Xiaoqing must be our own."

Qin Gang smiled, ignored Shi Xuebin making jokes next to him, and asked Zhang Ke how much budget he could have.

"The Conservatory of Music can be almost 20 million. Now China Entertainment does not have much funding, but the amount is too small, which may not necessarily make people pay attention to it. In addition, the province intends to merge the Conservatory of Music and the Art Academy, but there is a problem of who will merge with whom. Both sides are unwilling to give in at a single step and are in a deadlock. I was wondering whether I will deliberately ignore the Art Academy and increase the donation to the Conservatory of Music to 30 million?" Zhang Ke said.

"Your move is too dark," Meng Le smiled, "Aren't you forcing the Art Academy to give in?"

As a top comprehensive university in China, Donghai University receives only 200 million yuan in regular education funding from the central and provincial schools every year. The provincial art colleges are extremely limited in their ability to directly obtain financial support. The Conservatory of Music only allocated 12 million yuan to prepare for the construction of a comprehensive teaching building the building last year. The Conservatory of Music will eventually sell the ten acres of land on Seyuan Road and only raise 40 million yuan in construction funds. The Conservatory of Music annual education funding and tuition income is less than 80 million yuan, and Kumho donated 30 million yuan at one time, which will definitely make the leaders of the Conservatory of Music lose insomnia for several days. The School of Arts is also lacking in funds. Seeing that the Conservatory of Music can obtain such a large amount of external financial resources, the resistance to the merger of the two schools can naturally be reduced.

Zhang Ke didn't care about who and who, he just wanted to wipe out this kind of arrogance of the mountain dynasty and make the work go on smoother.

After looking at the watch, it was getting late. Zhang Ke stood up and said to Qin Gang: "By the way, there will be a meeting in the province tomorrow afternoon. Principal Li and Dean Cui both attended. You have time to accompany me..."

"I'm accompanying you to discuss how to allocate the school aid funds this year in Jinhu?" Qin Gang asked.

"What else can happen at this time?" Zhang Ke asked with a smile, "All provinces and cities will focus on a regional college. To build a world-class first-class university, the province can only put the burden on Dongda."

During the summer vacation, the Dongda Chuangyu Training School was the most students in the year. Although it was necessary to hand over the burden here to Ling Xiaoyan, it was impossible to say that it would take off. There would always be an exaggeration period. Besides, Century Hua Entertainment's branch in Jianye still had only a few staff members. Qin Gang officially transferred and had to wait until Sun Jingxiang returned to Jianye before talking.

Before noon, Ye Xiaotong called and informed him of the meeting place and time of the afternoon. At noon, Zhang Ke and Ye Xiaotong wanted to have dinner with Li Yuanhu, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and asked him to go directly to the meeting place in the afternoon to meet them.

Qin Gang just left his house in the afternoon and was about to drive to the provincial government. He received a call from Cui Guoheng, asking him to drive to pick him up.

Cui Guoheng was in the hospital office. Qin Gang drove downstairs to the hospital office and saw that the principal Li Hongming was also parked in front of the hospital office. As soon as he got off the car, he saw Li Hongming and Cui Guoheng walked out of the hospital office.

When Li Hongming saw Qin Gang, he said hello: "Xiao Qin also wants to attend the meeting. Is his work in Jinhu necessary to be adjusted?"

"The training school is temporarily handed over to someone else," Qin Gang said, "What I will do next? I haven't decided yet, so I will follow the chores first."

Li Hongming pulled Qin Gang and Cui Guoheng to ride his car together. He got into the car and asked Cui Guoheng: "Xiao Cui, please come to the bottom first. How generous can Jinhu be this time?"

Cui Guoheng smiled and said: "The report submitted by the Economic Research Center is only for reference. What decisions have been made there, but it will not be promptly fed back to the Economic Research Center..."

"What news does Xiao Qin know?" Li Hongming asked.

"It should be similar to last year," Qin Gang remembered that Zhang Ke told him yesterday, and said his guess, "The resources may be concentrated more on Dongda University."

The scientific research power of universities is also one of the key forces that Oak Garden R&D system should rely on. What's more, to ensure that the channel for high-quality talents to enter Kumho is smooth. Every year, a certain amount of funds must be allocated from the Oak Garden's scientific research budget to universities to support discipline construction.

Among so many universities in Jianye, Dongda University has always been the focus of donation for Kumho. Dongda University even established the Microelectronics Academy with the direct support of Kumho. In addition to the library that Kumho spent 400 million to build, Kumho sent a total of 150 million donations to Dongda University last year; several other universities in Jianye received less than 50 million donations from Kumho.

The central government has launched the 985 project to build several world-class universities in China. As one of the key universities benefited by the 985 project, Dongda University has received only 200 million yuan in education this year. The fiscal appropriations, tuition income and industrial investment income received by Dongda University this year are expected to be only 600 million yuan. If it can obtain another 150 million yuan in donations from Kumho - even if these donations will flow to the disciplines designated by Kumho, it will definitely make Dongda University's tense finances relieved.

Of course, Kumho donations can be more concentrated in Dongda University.

Since last year, Dongda University has also set its goal on "world-class universities". It would be better if it didn't have this goal. With this goal, we can know how big the gap is.

Qin Gang sat in the passenger seat, listening to Li Hongming and Cui Guoheng discussing the development of the school in the back of the car, thinking not to mention anything else, like the most famous universities in the United States, the annual school funding investment is 1 billion US dollars. In the past two years, Dongda University has also strengthened infrastructure construction through bank loans. Even so, Dongda University's annual school funding investment is still a little different from one billion yuan, and it is even further away from the goal of world-class universities.

It was a bit early for Qin Gang and the others to arrive at the provincial government. Zhang Ke asked them to sit in Lu Wenfu's office first. Following Lu Wenfu's secretary, Zhang Ke and Lu Wenfu were sitting on the sofa talking, and Ye Xiaotong stood in the corner and didn't know who to talk to. Chen Feirong did not appear in such an occasion. Ye Xiaotong was the president of the administrative office, and she was Zhang Ke's substantive assistant. This position was previously held by Zhai Danqing.

"You are here together..." Zhang Ke and Lu Wenfu stood up and asked Li Hongming and the others to take their seats.

Ye Xiaotong walked over and said, "It will take another quarter of an hour for Mr. Chen to arrive."

Lu Wenfu said: "Let's wait for him, the meeting on Vice Governor Li's side has not ended yet."

Qin Gang thought he was just sitting in Lu Wenfu's office for the time being, but he didn't expect that he would also attend the meeting. He thought: Vice Governor Li's case for Chen Qibin was involved in the work as usual, but Lu Wenfu participated in today's meeting in his capacity? His work in charge had nothing to do with education? He thought that it was possible that the province might ask Lu Wenfu to find a way to solve the source of some education funds. After all, the part Lu Wenfu was in charge was one of the main sources of provincial finance.

After waiting for a while, Chen Xinsheng rushed over. He rushed back from Hong Kong. He was a little missed and rushed directly from the airport to attend the meeting. Qin Gang thought that the donation from Kumho was similar to last year, so he just wanted to let anyone come to attend the meeting. Zhang Ke was in Jianye, so he had to respect the province and it didn't matter if he participated in it in person. There was really no need for Chen Xinsheng to come together.

Qin Gang thought to himself that someone knocked in outside the door, and it was Xue Minglou, the secretary of the governor Jiang Minzhi.

Xue Minglou walked in and said, "Governor Lu, Governor Jiang can take time to attend the afternoon meeting. I ask when the meeting will take place?"

"I'm waiting for the notice from Vice Governor Li? Director Ma Yun of the Education Department is already in the conference room, so why don't we go there first?" Lu Wenfu said.

Xue Minglou left immediately to inform Jiang Minzhi. Qin just knew that today's meeting level was still quite high. He didn't expect Jiang Minzhi to attend before. Judging from Li Hongming and Cui Guoheng's expression, they didn't know that Jiang Min would attend in advance.

Jiang Minzhi had no plans to attend the afternoon meeting, so Li Yuanhu called him temporarily, hoping that he could attend it in person. Jiang Minzhi came to the East China Sea, and Li Yuanhu rarely informed him directly about any specific meetings. He also knew that Li Yuanhu was with Zhang Ke at noon, and he felt a little bit of a shadow in his heart, but he would not show it.

Before attending the meeting, he also asked Xue Minglou to collect some conference materials, which contained detailed donations from Jinhu to various universities in Jianye, especially the University of Dongda. Among them, the Aida Library donated last year has the greatest influence. Jinhu injected 400 million yuan into the Aida Cultural Fund to build the largest single-scale library in China. Moreover, the entire library system integrates the university library resources in the Yanguihu area together to form the second largest library system in the country.

In addition to this, Kumho donated 200 million yuan to the provincial education system from 1999 to 2000.

"According to Director Ma Yun of the Education Department, Kumho's donations this year will probably not be lower than last year," said Xue Minglou.

"No less than 200 million yuan, so I should also attend this meeting..." Jiang Minzhi said, asking Xue Minglou to accompany him.

Xue Minglou thought that Jiang Minzhi was afraid that he was a little reluctant, but it would be unreasonable that Jiang Minzhi would not attend. If it weren't for the donations from Kumho that had flowed into the education system of Donghai Province and had clear requirements for the purpose of the donation, the annual education donation of 200 million yuan would be enough for the leaders of a certain country to come forward.

Walking into the conference room, Xue Minglou walked behind Jiang Min, making it easier for him to observe the people in the conference room.

Although Vice Governor Li, who is in charge of education, was still in charge of work, he failed to completely escape from the Chen Qibin case and his face was not very good. It seemed that even if there were great good things at the moment, it had nothing to do with him. When Chen Qibin's case happened, Ma Bin, Director of the Education Department, could only insist on working while ill, and temporarily presided over the situation of the Provincial Department of Education. Lu Wenfu and Zhang Ke stood together without any hesitation to have close relationship with Jinhu. Xue Minglou also heard that Lu Wenfu's son was classmates with Zhang Ke. Qin Gang knew Xue Minglou, but Xue Minglou did not know Qin Gang. He thought that the Jinhu personnel who could attend today's meeting with Zhang Ke should be of great importance. He recognized Ye Xiaotong, the daughter of Ye Zhumin, the Party Secretary of the National Defense Army Group and Deputy General Manager. Ye Xiaotong was talking to Li Hongming. Seeing Li Hongming's expression, Ye Xiaotong seemed to be telling him something that shocked him.

Jiang Minzhi walked in and everyone stood up politely. Jiang Minzhi waved his hand and said, "I came to listen to it, which is also the province's gratitude for the generous and righteous acts of Kumho... Everyone sit down and talk."

Vice Governor Li was not very energetic, and the meeting was chaired by Ma Yun, the director of the Provincial Department of Education who worked with illness. The province had long made the decision to tilt the educational resources of colleges and universities as much as possible, and of course it was necessary to ensure the development potential of other universities in the province. In 1999, the provincial government budget allocated only 1.6 billion yuan, and the 200 million yuan donations from Kumho to the provincial university system were quite considerable. Kumho also clearly stated that it would continue to provide a large amount of donations to the provincial university system this year. This meeting was held to show respect for Kumho, and the other was to hope that Kumho's donations could be tilted more towards Dongda. Ma Yun also knew that this meeting was held to point out other schools and scolded him, but who made the province unable to squeeze out more resources to Dongda University but had too high expectations for Dongda University?

It was not a particularly formal meeting. Jiang Minzhi took over the conversation and said a few words after Ma Yun, just waiting for Zhang Ke to report a number to the province, thinking that the formal donation ceremony should also be attended.

Zhang Ke didn't say anything, looked at Chen Xinsheng and asked Chen Xinsheng to express his opinion on behalf of Jinhu.

"Because the plan proposed before has not been discussed, others have tried to speak from me, so I can only tell him that it is different from last year. At this time, I can tell you an accurate number, and it is indeed only slightly more than last year, but the method is slightly different." Chen Xinsheng said.

"What's the difference in the way?" asked Ma Yun, director of the Education Department.

Chen Xinsheng said: "We plan to establish a public welfare discipline construction promotion fund. In the future, educational donations from Kumho will mainly flow to this fund. All universities in the province, including Dongda University, can apply for discipline construction and scientific research funds from the fund... Of course, the purpose of our establishment of this fund is mainly to better promote the integrated development of industry, education and research. The annual promotion fund has strict restrictions on the allocation ratio of funds in each discipline. The fund management will hire well-known professors from each university to form a review committee."

Jiang Minzhi knew that Kumho finally wanted to control education donations in his own hands. If a university or even a professor or researcher in the university wants to obtain funds from the discipline construction promotion fund, his application conditions must be beneficial to Kumho. This is probably why Li Yuanhu asked him to attend the meeting. He wanted him to support Kumho's plan. Jiang Minzhi knew that he had no objection. Kumho's education donations were designated for Kumho before, but there was no formal foundation system. Jiang Minzhi was not busy expressing his opinions. Seeing the other people's faces, he didn't seem to be very strange. He said: "How much money can Kumho inject into the fund?"

"The Discipline Construction Promotion Fund will be included in the Oak Garden's scientific research funding budget. This year, we will make up for it from the middle of the year. We will make a budget of 80 million US dollars. Next year's budget will be taken out by the end of this year, and it is expected to not be less than 100 million US dollars..."

Xue Minglou could fully understand why Li Hongming was shocked just now. General Dongda is the biggest beneficiary of the Discipline Construction Promotion Fund. What an amazing number would it be if he obtained 100 million US dollars in funds every year! How much is the annual scientific research fund for Oak Park? It will definitely not be as small as the 400 million US dollars announced to the outside world.
