Chapter 2049 Self-funded International Students

"This..." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Wu Shuqing's face flashed with embarrassment.

Since the reform and opening-up of the country in the 80s, when the country began to implement public-sponsored study abroad, the idea of ​​​​the country’s high-level officials at that time was that half of the ten public-sponsored international students could return, and that would be enough. .

But the actual situation is that throughout the 80s, less than 1/10 of the overseas students sent out by the government finally came back. After entering the 90s, the situation gradually improved, and 2-3 of the ten students sent by the government returned. But it still doesn't reach the ratio of 1/3 that Duan Yun said.

There are many factors that cause this situation. The most important factor is that the work, living and salary conditions abroad are much higher than those in China. Another point is that many Chinese people still have a certain psychology of worshiping foreigners. Many of the public-sponsored international students who return to work do not respect them. On the contrary, they think that these public-sponsored international students will not be able to survive abroad, so they return to China. I still try my best to stay abroad, no matter how badly I do abroad, I still feel superior when I return to China.

Everyone has the right to choose their own destiny and future, but the vast majority of people are ordinary people, the most important factor affecting their decision-making is the material and interests that can be seen before them, and to really be like Academician Ni Guangnan, not only give up There are lucrative jobs abroad, and a lot of advanced equipment is bought back with their own pockets and shipped back to China. After all, there are very few people with such strong patriotism, and most of them just want to make their lives better.

As for the international students of Tsinghua University and Peking University, compared with other universities in China, there will be more places for studying abroad at public expense, and the number of studying abroad at their own expense is also quite large. Before last year, the country had 1000 places for studying abroad at public expense every year. Among them, Tsinghua University and Peking University alone account for more than half, and there are only a few other schools each year, at most a dozen. From this point of view, the country's investment in Tsinghua University and Peking University is far more than that of the average domestic school. Universities are much higher.

However, Tsinghua University and Peking University do not account for a high proportion of the number of overseas students sent by the government to return to China. The reason is simple, because the two universities in Qingbei are the top universities in China. Although Chinese universities are not ranked high in the world, they are These students are highly competitive, so they have a higher chance of finding a job abroad, especially in Silicon Valley in the United States, where more and more Chinese international students are entering technology companies.In particular, the international students of Tsinghua University and Peking University have already occupied a place in many companies, and are also favored by American technology companies, so most of them choose to stay in the United States in the end, which has become a trend now.

"I also know that the state has policies. As a private enterprise, our Tianyin Group cannot compete with the state for talents. I have a good idea of ​​this, so our company will try to avoid directly recruiting your fresh graduates from Tsinghua University in the future." Duan Yun After a pause, he continued: "As for the government-sponsored overseas students, they are funded by the state to cultivate talents, and whether they can return to China is their own choice, but for those students who study abroad at their own expense, I think it should not be within the scope of the national policy prohibition ?”

"You mean... you want to recruit those self-supplied foreign students?" Wu Shuqing immediately reacted when he heard this, and asked again: "But the problem is that they are all studying abroad, how can they come to work in your company?"

"Principal Wu, you may have forgotten that we have a branch in the United States." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Let me tell you the truth, as early as a few years ago, our Tianyin Group was established in the United States." We set up a research and development center in Silicon Valley, and last year, we set up a branch in the United States. At present, we have more than 500 employees. In the future, the scale may reach 2000. On the one hand, we are developing products, and on the other hand, we are developing the American market. A large number of business talents are needed. If the self-financed students of your school are willing to work in our company and sign relevant labor contracts, then we can solve the tuition and living expenses of these students overseas, and the salary will not be lower than similar companies in the United States... ..."

"It seems that you came prepared." Wu Shuqing looked directly at Duan Yun, and continued, "As expected of the best private entrepreneur in China, he has strength and is very good at exploiting loopholes in national policies..."

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Duan Yun laughed and said, "I never do anything illegal, and I never do things that are sorry for the country. In fact, I do this because I want to retain as much as possible For these outstanding talents in the country, our Tianyin Group has also participated in several national scientific research projects over the years, from the earliest military vehicle bidding to the research and development of domestic operating systems last year, and now we are even more participants in the Beidou satellite communication project In fact, participating in these projects does not have much profit at all, and even some losses, but I always feel that as a businessman, you should not only focus on making money, but also make some contributions to our country, because only when the country is strong, we Only when businessmen are overseas will they not be discriminated against and bullied..."

"What you said is very reasonable. I have known about these national projects that your company participated in before." Wu Shuqing nodded, and then said: "Manager Duan and your company do have a lot of respectable things. It cannot be denied that the plan you mentioned is indeed feasible to a certain extent, so I think it is good. Regarding this matter, our school will conduct some internal meetings to discuss it, and then we will also seek the opinions of some students studying abroad at their own expense. Suggestions from all aspects can be roughly unified, then we at BJ University can cooperate with your company, and I personally hope that our students can contribute to the country even if they are born overseas."

"That's great." Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he continued: "Then I will wait for the good news."

At this point, Duan Yun's goal has been achieved.

In fact, the main purpose of Duan Yun's donation to BJ University at first was to improve the relationship with BJ's scientific research universities, so that his Beidou project can be carried out smoothly, and he can also obtain more national scientific research projects in the future.

As for the introduction of talents from BJ University, this is actually a secondary purpose, because Duan Yun can also recruit talents from domestic universities through overseas branches, including international students from Tsinghua University and Peking University.

As for what kind of reply BJ University will give him in the end, it is actually not that important. Judging from the current situation, the relationship between the two parties has actually eased.
