The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

In the afternoon, Liu Tao and his team went to Pengcheng University.

Pengcheng University is the only university in Pengcheng now. On March 8, 1983, the Guangdong Provincial Government approved the Pengcheng Municipal Government to "agree to establish Pengcheng University". The meeting decided that the school site would be located in the Guimiao area of ​​Houhai Bay, and one square kilometer, or 1,500 acres of land, would be allocated as the school site.

On February 7, 1984, the first phase of the construction of Pengcheng University officially broke ground. From September 4 to 6, administrative departments and departments moved from the temporary campus in the city to the new campus in Yuehaimen.

Not long ago, the Guangdong Provincial Higher Education Bureau approved Pengcheng University to enroll students in six provinces and cities, including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian this year.

This young university, which was assisted by Peking University in Chinese and foreign language disciplines, Tsinghua University in electronics and architecture disciplines, and Renmin University in economics and law disciplines, can be said to be the second generation of the strongest university in China.

Relying on Pengcheng, Pengcheng University will develop extremely rapidly in the future. Even thirty years later, Pengcheng University will not care whether it is a 985/211 university!

Because at that time, even if it is not a 985/211 university, Pengcheng University will be very high in the national university rankings.

At this time, Pengcheng has already planned to build a university town here, of course, this university town is still in the planning stage.

In the future, this university will provide intellectual support for the nearby Nanhu Electronic Development Zone, the slightly farther Shekou Industry, and the entire Pengcheng Special Zone.

In this regard, it can also be seen that the leadership team of Pengcheng is indeed determined to forge ahead, rather than sticking to the rules. At this time, there is already a complete and magnificent industrial plan for the entire western block of Pengcheng.

The leaders of Pengcheng introduced Pengcheng University. As early as 1983, Pengcheng University enrolled the first batch of students, but at that time its school conditions were so difficult that it did not even have a campus. The classrooms for students were borrowed from the office building of the newly established Pengcheng TV University.

Now, the initial construction of Pengcheng University campus has been completed, which can be said to fully demonstrate the speed of Pengcheng!

At this time, new school buildings are still being built everywhere on the campus of Pengcheng University, and red sand is flying all over the sky.

With the approval of enrollment in six provinces and cities, the school is now speeding up construction to prepare enough dormitories and classrooms for freshmen.

"It is not easy to establish a university. Pengcheng has spent a lot of time and money in the past two years." The leader of Pengcheng introduced, "It is not easy to train a college student. According to the calculation of relevant departments, the country needs to spend the labor income of more than 40 farmers for one year to train one liberal arts college student, and more than one hundred farmers for one year to train one science college student!"

"I hope that these pillars of our country and social elites should have a stronger sense of crisis and gratitude, and when they have achieved success in the future, they will give back to the country and society better!" The leaders of Pengcheng have high hopes for this university.

Liu Tao nodded and said, "Yes, it is not easy to train a college student, and the cost is very high! But it must be done. For society to develop, there must be enough talents, and talent resources are the most scarce resources!"

Everyone walked towards a teaching building with a dragon-shaped logo, and the three big characters "Golden Dragon Building" were very conspicuous.

"This teaching building was built with a donation of 10 million RMB from the Jinlong Computer Group. Pengcheng University was grateful for the donation from the Jinlong Computer Group and named this teaching building "Golden Dragon Building." The president of Pengcheng University introduced.

The building has eight floors and a total of four staircases.

There are two trapezoidal classrooms on each floor, and each trapezoidal classroom can accommodate 200 people at the same time.

The other classrooms can accommodate 50 people.

At this time, each classroom was full of students who were reviewing intensively. Liu Tao and others could clearly feel the tense and busy learning atmosphere on campus.

In addition to donating 10 million RMB, the Jinlong Computer Group actually donated a computer building, with a total of 16 computer classrooms and 800 Jinlong computers.

It's just that the computer building has not been built yet, and it will probably be completed in the summer.

"This is the library of Pengcheng University, with a construction area of ​​23,441 square meters!" The principal introduced the library, which had been built at this time. "All the business of the entire library is managed by computers. It was Jinlong Computer Group that helped us develop the 'Pengcheng University Library Information Management Integration System' and trained the library staff."

This library was donated by Huaxia Automobile Group.

Liu Tao and others entered the library. The library had good lighting and looked very bright. At this time, many students were reading in the library.

Students of this era, even when they went to college, although college life became rich and colorful, they studied very seriously.

At this time, college is not a place to mess around, and there is no '60 points long live'.

Because the usual academic performance will affect the quality of the assigned work.

After strolling around Pengcheng University, they went to the Southern University of Science and Technology, which was separated by a road.

Southern University of Science and Technology is different from Pengcheng University. It is not a public university. Its nature is very special. It can be said to be the most special university in the country.

Because this is a donation of 1 billion yuan by Ho Ying-tung to help Pengcheng build a university. In addition to the 1 billion RMB used to build the campus, the rest was transferred to the education fund to maintain the operation of the university.

The future operation of Southern University of Science and Technology will not rely on the school funding allocated by the government, but on social donations.

And just this year, Huo Yingdong raised 100 million yuan in donations for Southern University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong.

It can be said that the richest university in China is Southern University of Science and Technology!

Unlike other universities, which are under the management of provincial education departments or central ministries, Southern University of Science and Technology has its highest ruling body, the school board.

In other words, the presidents, school officials, and vice presidents of other universities are cadres, while at Southern University of Science and Technology, they are appointed by the school board. If the board is not satisfied with the president or vice president, the employment contract can be terminated at any time.

The entire Southern University of Science and Technology is still under construction and has not yet started recruiting students.

Pengcheng and Guangdong Province admire Huo Yingdong very much. It can be said that Huo Yingdong has always done a good job in this regard.

In recent years, he has been traveling to the mainland more frequently, investing more frequently, and is also keen on public welfare, such as education and sports.

Liu Tao sighed secretly, this is only Huo Yingdong. If it were another person, it would not be easy to run a university, not to mention the implementation of the school board system, which is simply a rebellion in the Chinese education sector.

If it were 30 years later, a rich man wanted to run a university, the difficulties and resistance he faced would be very great.

The leader of Pengcheng introduced that the Southern University of Science and Technology would not recruit students this year, but would recruit the first batch next year, and the first batch is expected to recruit 1,000 people.

1,000 people may not seem like a lot, but for today's universities, it is not a small number, especially since the first batch of Southern University of Science and Technology is limited to recruiting students in Guangdong Province.
