Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 831 Establishing Scholarships

"Do you have any ideas for cooperation?" Guo Chengmin asked with a smile.

"Principal Guo, through my observations of your school in the past two days, I found that the teachers and students in our school are really talented. Yesterday, I also communicated with the director of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and several faculty members. They are all highly respected. , knowledgeable scholars, and the students they teach are all top elites, with a strong desire to improve and serve the country, and these are the pillars of our country's future technological development." Duan Yun paused, then continued Said: "So I want to set up a scholarship in your school. I will give your school 30 yuan every year to reward those students who study hard..."

"30 yuan?" Hearing the scholarship amount mentioned by Duan Yun, Guo Chengmin was immediately surprised.

30 yuan is almost equivalent to the total profit of a small and medium-sized enterprise for a year. Even in a subordinate college like their Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering, the annual expenditure is only about 150 million yuan, and this has increased significantly since last year. High scientific research funding, in the past, it was only about 100 million per year.

And Duan Yun opened his mouth to donate 30 yuan to their school every year to set up a scholarship, which is almost equivalent to 1/5 of their school's total annual funding. Such a large amount really made Guo Chengmin feel excited.

You must know that universities in this era are very short of money.

The universities of this era cannot be compared with the universities of later generations, and they are not at the same level from infrastructure to teaching equipment.

According to statistics released by UNESCO in 1985, the ratio of education expenditure to GNP is 5.7% on average in the world, 6.1% in developed countries, and 4% in developing countries, which is even close to the level of economic development in my country. India also has 3.7% and Yugoslavia 3.6%, while my country only accounts for 3.2% even if corporate education investment and urban and rural education surcharges are included.

And it is precisely because of the constraints on the investment of scientific research funds that universities in the 80s made few breakthroughs in the academic field and had little influence abroad. There were almost no internationally influential papers or academic achievements.

Relevant information revealed that in 1988, Tsinghua University had a deficit of 800 million yuan, BJ University had a deficit of 1000 million yuan, and BJ Aerospace University had a deficit of 700 million yuan in [-]. These university presidents, who have been troubled by financial deficits for a long time, sometimes have to catch " Income".

Although Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering is a subordinate institution, it is still better than other ordinary universities in terms of funds, but even so, the education funds allocated to Taiyuan by the Ministry of Machinery and Machinery every year are only enough to maintain the normal expenses of the school. I dare not engage in scientific research projects, for fear that if I am not careful, I will be heavily in debt.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is.

As the principal of Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Guo Chengmin has always hoped that the school can make a difference in the academic circles at home and abroad, but doing scientific research is a very expensive thing. In view of the limited funds, Guo Chengmin has always hoped to find another way to cooperate with social enterprises and institutions , to obtain more funding sources.

"The scholarship of 30 yuan is just a conservative figure. If our business benefits in the future, we will increase our investment in our Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering..." Duan Yun said seriously.

Duan Yun directly used the scholarship to start the show, because he knew that the reason why Guo Chengmin invited him to dinner was definitely not for academic exchanges, because the person sitting in his position mainly considered the operation and management of the school , As for academic exchanges, the following professors, teachers and students may have technical exchanges with him, but the principal invited him to dinner, it must be to seek cooperation.

"I'm really grateful to Manager Duan. Our school has always been adhering to the society-oriented and mutually beneficial development idea, seeking win-win cooperation with local enterprises." Guo Chengmin smiled slightly, and then said: "The flagship product produced by your factory is Longteng A series of car gearboxes, we can name this scholarship "Longteng Scholarship", and in the future, our school can also send students to your factory for internships to strengthen the interaction between us..."

Guo Chengmin is naturally not the kind of conservative and pedantic scholar who can achieve the position of principal. He also knows that there must be requirements for Duan Yun to donate such a large amount of scholarship every year, and the most valuable thing in a university is talent, so he immediately decided to use it. The product name of Duan Yun Factory is named this scholarship, and students will also be exported to Duan Yun Factory for internships.

"Principal Guo, I hope this scholarship will be named "Tianyin Scholarship"." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Let me tell you this, I am now the general manager of the Red Star Labor Service Company, but at the same time I also run my own business. Tianyin Electronics Factory, a private enterprise, in principle, our Red Star Labor Service Company is a large collective, and I have no right to embezzle the funds of the large collective to donate to your school to set up scholarships, so the money is actually from my private electronics factory. Donate to your school in the name of..."

"Um, it's easy to say, it's just a name change. The name Tianyin Electronics Factory seems quite familiar..." Guo Chengmin said.

"Principal Guo, do you often watch TV? There is an advertisement for our factory on CCTV. It is the advertisement where a man carries a guitar and dances a spacewalk..." Duan Yun reminded.

"Tianyin subwoofer!?" Guo Chengmin was stunned when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "So Tianyin Electronics Factory is your private enterprise?"

"That's right, that's true." Duan Yun nodded, and continued: "Tianyin Electronics Factory is registered in the name of my mother, but in fact it has been managed by me. Currently, there are sales outlets in all provinces and cities across the country. Profits run into the millions."

"Amazing..." Hearing this, Guo Chengmin couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He also knew about a private company run by Duan Yun before, but he didn't expect that the business of the electronics factory run by Duan Yun would be so big, with millions of dollars a year. In his opinion, the profit is simply astronomical.

In fact, according to the current development situation of Duan Yun's Tianyin Electronics Factory, breaking through tens of millions of profits a year is just around the corner. The profit is enough for him to prove the strength of his electronics factory.

"Let me be honest with President Guo. I am managing two companies at the same time. At present, the provincial government has transferred 5 college students to our labor service company. For a company with 300 employees like a labor service company, these 5 One college student is enough." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "The key is that my current private electronics factory and the machining factory to be opened in Shenzhen lack a large number of highly educated R&D talents, so I would like to ask President Guo , can I come to your school to recruit some graduates in the name of a private electronics factory and machining factory?"
