Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 701 Opportunities Under Yale's Budget Deficit
In the hazy night of early summer, Carter and Stevens walked slowly on Grove Street
Carter hadn't been here since the murder case happened in this area.

Whether it is Davenport, the residential college, or the classrooms where classes are often held, or some administrative affairs halls in the school, such as the Whitney Center, it is basically not touched here, so there are few people, quiet, and convenient for conversations
"I don't know if you can see it, and I don't know if what you said is true, or if you cooperate well! We should have a good tacit understanding!"

With his blazer off and slung loosely over his shoulders, Stevens acted as though he had let go of his disguise.Reaching out his hand to take out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, he shook his head:
"Do you smoke? Mind if I smoke one?"

"Of course not, I'm an old smoker too."

He took out a cigarette from the box, Carter was not polite to the other party, even took out a lighter and lit it for the other party
"Where did you learn all these movements? Cough cough cough."

"You don't usually smoke, do you?"

Carter was delighted to see Stevens, who could choke his throat with smoke in just a few words.This is obviously not long after learning to smoke.
"Yeah, I have a wife and children, this thing is not good!"

"Since you know why do you smoke?"

"Hey, then why are you smoking? We should be the same, Mr. Giama. Do you feel it?"

"It's a bit of a guess, he wants to sell, but we don't. Right?"

"Yes, after all, he is not from our Yale. He doesn't understand or respect some things and cultural heritage. In fact, you just said less, the Yale Bowl. Not only started a series of 'bowl games', For example, the Super Bowl. Even the sport of rugby is thanks to the efforts of Yale. Many of the rules of American football come from our senior Walter Kemp.”

Breathing out a plume of smoke, Stevens calmly summed up his thoughts:
"So, the Bulldogs can't break up! The Yale Bowl must also be in our hands. This is no longer a simple sport or business. The inheritance of football cannot be broken here."

"Think about it, Mr. Giama, after all. He's just thinking about the problem from the perspective of running this school. From some perspectives, it's not wrong. If it's really difficult and you can't sell the Yale bowl, don't sell it. It’s fine to save the depleted finances.”

"By the way, I heard a rumor before. The school seems to be planning to expand some international enrollment from the direction of international students, and then use them to drive some income?"

"I have indeed thought about this problem, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that it is not very easy to operate."

"how to say?"

"We have too many students now! There are too many. Under normal circumstances, Yale University has about 1 undergraduates and graduate students, and it will definitely not exceed 5000. Now, there are 2 More than 3, nearly [-] people. Over the past few years, enrollment has more than doubled, but our classrooms and other infrastructure have not been updated to meet the living and learning needs of so many people."

"Didn't you find that none of you can apply for a single dormitory at Yale nowadays? Except for graduate students who live in apartments, or those students who go out to live in apartments in their senior year, the best conditions in the school are two-person dormitories. This is in It turned out to be unimaginable!"

Is it okay to live in a room for two? !

Carter was a little speechless for a while, remembering that in his previous life, when his father was studying for a doctorate, he went there once.Ph.D. students live in double rooms, the kind where they go to bed and sit on the table.
The size of the room is even more incomparable to the one I live in now. It looks almost exactly the same as an ordinary undergraduate dormitory, except that the four-person or six-person room has become a two-person room.

He silently complained that these people were hypocritical, but Carter didn't say much, just listened quietly.

"The number of international students has decreased, which is a drop in the bucket for our current financial problems. It can't be solved at all. I won't lie to you. Yale's current financial deficit has reached 300 million, and it looks like it will rise this year."

"And the number of international students is too large, and the quality of education we can provide them will not be guaranteed. After these people graduate, in the long run, it will have a negative impact on Yale. And, we roughly calculated, Our current tuition fee is about US$6130 a year, even if the fee for international students is a little higher, the most they can receive is US$7200.”

"A part of the scholarship is also prepared, and we have to pay the accommodation fee for the full scholarship. The general scholarship is considered to cover the tuition fee. The rest is only 500 people to be recruited, and there are almost 50 people's tuition fees. We can't earn it. Yes. With the tuition fees for 500 people, there will be an income of 320 million yuan to fill our financial shortfall."

"Not to mention that this is just a theoretical figure, let's talk about the 500 people, how to solve the problem of food, lodging and transportation? Just this year on the campus bus, there have been many complaints, because too many people can't get on the bus. Okay. Our main campus is not big, and most of them can be walked on foot, which is fine. If you want to change to Harvard, hey, then we have been scolded to death!"

"The problem of business can be solved casually. The problem of eating and dining. The pressure of the canteen is too high. After all, as long as people have needs, those who open restaurants outside will also come in and rent venues. Oh, don't you just have one? HT? Why didn’t I see you open one in school?”

"I don't usually care about these specific matters, but I found a HT store near the school. So now there is only one problem of accommodation? In addition, in terms of education, there may be too many people in the classroom, resulting in The interactivity is reduced, and the quality of the lectures is not so good”

Shrugging, Carter was also thinking about this question.Or rather, Carter thinks more.
As Rick once mentioned, if Yale decides to expand its enrollment of international students, then there is no doubt that Yale has considerable room for development!

China, which has just been re-opened, is an excellent virgin land!
Of course, Carter is not greedy for the little money that the study abroad agency business may bring. That business is really not worth it!What Carter values ​​is, people!

Those in the 90s who were able to study abroad, who were they?
Either it is a public-funded student who is assigned by the university or the Ministry of Education.For this group of people, their personal abilities, at least in terms of academic abilities, don’t matter? !
Carter doesn't expect to blackmail the talents valued by the country, but after they go abroad, they have to live!In his previous life, Father Carter was a government-sponsored scholar, and he knew how much government-funded study abroad usually cost.
If the future economic development cannot meet the needs of a slightly more comprehensive life, let alone this meeting.

Instead of letting these people wash dishes to earn living expenses, why not come and work for yourself!

In one's own enterprise, put a batch of king rolls in, like some catfish, to drive the vitality of the entire enterprise.And, these people, that's really the price of cabbage.
The salary is 20% higher than that of the dishwasher, and I can get a large number of scientific research dogs that are overwhelmed. Where can I find such a good thing? !
