Thank you for making me so strong

Chapter 23
Xia Yu is in charge of all the foreign affairs work of the college, and she is also considered a prince in the unit. When the school holds meetings, she will speak and report on foreign affairs work, and all kinds of business related to foreign affairs will start to communicate with her.

One afternoon, Xia Yu was sitting in the office, and Dean Wang brought two very capable middle-aged men into her office.

"This is Director Jin of the Foreign Affairs University of South Korea. He visited our school in person today. Please invite Director Xia to receive you. For specific business, you can talk to Director Jin first. There is a meeting in the school now, and I will go to the meeting first. Tonight Let's have dinner together, and I have already arranged the place for the dinner." Dean Wang told Xia Yu.

"Welcome, welcome." Xia Yu immediately stood up to welcome.

"It's the first time we meet, please take care of me." Director Jin bowed very politely, and then handed over his business card with both hands.

The politeness of the Koreans is really good, he gave Xia Yu a good impression.

Xia Yu also treated each other with courtesy, and she took it with both hands, only to see that the business card said Director Jin, Doctor of Letters, Professor.Xia Yu knew that the surname Kim was a common surname in Korea.

"Very happy to meet you." Xia Yu gave Director Jin her business card with both hands.

"Director Xia, please take care of me. I'm also Chinese, and I'm working at H University in South Korea..." The man next to Dean Jin also handed over his business card. Xia Yu took it and saw that it said Director Li.

"Well, let's talk first. There is a dean's meeting at the chairman's side. I'm going to attend it soon. Director Jin and Director Li. Let's talk in detail tonight." After talking about Dean Wang and Director Jin, Director Wang, Xia Yubai With a touch of hand, he went out.

Xia Yu knew that Dean Wang's so-called meeting was just an excuse, so he slipped away with oil on his feet, leaving the details of the specific cooperation to himself. The dean of the school really has a higher IQ than the average person, Xia Yu sighs to herself.

"Okay, see you later." Xia Yu, Director Jin, and Director Wang smiled at Dean Wang and watched him walk out of the office.

"It's a pleasure to meet Director Xia. I hope that the two schools will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future, such as jointly running schools." Director Jin said.

"I am also very happy to meet Director Jin. I think this cooperation opportunity will greatly promote both parties."

"There are many ways for our other cooperation. The first step is to jointly run schools. Let's start the first step of cooperation from here." Director Jin said.

Seeing Director Jin's youthful appearance, Xia Yu thought that his qualifications were short and his experience should not be rich, so the negotiations would not be stressful, so she felt a little relieved.

Since Xia Yu took office, he has received invitations from several national universities to jointly run schools.Xia Yu knew that the so-called joint running of schools was selling dog meat under the hood. On the surface, it was a joint running of schools, but in fact, Korean universities wanted to recruit students from Chinese schools to earn tuition fees for Chinese students.

Xia Yu has stayed in American universities and knows that the economies of all countries in the world have been in recession in recent years. Except for some very famous top universities, most schools have a serious problem of insufficient students. The lack of students means that there are fewer students paying tuition fees. It is a problem for the operation of the school, especially for private schools, the source of students means the way of life, which is the same concept as Xia Yu School's enrollment. Xia Yu found that domestic private universities have already moved ahead of public universities in terms of enrollment concepts, and they know that students It is money, more students can make more money.

After Xia Yu was engaged in international exchange work, she suddenly discovered that the world's largest college entrance examination turned out to be a hugely profitable market.

At first, Xia Yu only knew that after the college entrance examination, some families were happy and some were sad. Those who got into a good school must have a glorious ancestor and a bright future, and a new life is waiting for them.But the elites are always a minority, students who can go to prestigious schools only account for a small part, most of them are still unknown, this is Xia Yu's understanding of the college entrance examination.

But in the eyes of a shrewd businessman, the college entrance examination contains huge business opportunities. After taking over the foreign affairs work, Xia Yu investigated the study abroad market and found many problems.

The domestic economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are more and more wealthy people. It is gradually becoming a fashion to send children abroad to study.For wealthy people, sending their children to study abroad is also a kind of capital. In the past, only those who studied well would go abroad. In recent years, the trend has changed, and it has become that those who do not study well must go abroad.

Because everyone was poor in the past, only those elites with the best grades had the opportunity to apply for scholarships and rely on scholarships to study abroad.Now there are some wealthy people whose children have poor academic performance and cannot get into a good university in China, but the family has money, and the parents spend a lot of money to send their children abroad.

As long as you have money, it is not difficult to go to school. What is difficult is that you still want to go to school without money.Most parents value education, and they are willing to invest money in education.It is much better to exchange money for a better future for children than to depreciate money in the bank.

Now urban dual-income families, the amount of money savings is not small.As for the leaders, in addition to wages, there are other gray incomes. When you add up all kinds of income in the open and in the dark, you will have more money in your pockets, not to mention big money from businessmen, so parents use money to pave the way for their children. The strength is getting stronger and stronger.

Ordinary families can give their children money to go to private schools, and families with more money are fully capable of sending their children to study abroad.For the future of their children, parents are willing to invest hundreds of thousands a year within a few years.

Parents are also making calculations. If their children's grades are not good, it will be difficult to find a job after graduation if they are admitted to an unsatisfactory university in China, because the pressure of domestic competition is too great.

This has brought huge business opportunities to schools with the purpose of making money.The admissions directors of various universities are desperately recruiting students for their own interests, and students are the gods of wealth for the admissions officers.As a result, the admissions directors of universities around the world have sharper noses than dogs. They smelled this smell. Therefore, these directors of foreign affairs prepared big wallets of money and traveled thousands of miles to China to recruit students. The money in the student's pocket is taken away.

Enrolling more students and earning money from all over China is one of the most important jobs for university admissions directors in various countries.Admissions directors know that recruiting one more student will result in an income.The essence of the industrialization of education is to turn education into a money-making profession, turn schools into enterprises, and turn students into cash cows.Their task is to recruit students to foreign universities first, and take out the money from the parents' pockets. The most important thing is that the money is in their hands.As for the future of the students, it all depends on their lives.

Many parents have never been abroad. Under the propaganda of foreign recruiters, they think that the employment prospects of studying abroad are very bright, so they try to spend money to pave a bright road for their children.Maybe after going abroad, there will be good opportunities.The promotional materials of the admissions staff use a lot of vague and specious language, as if students can legally become local citizens after graduation and enjoy all the treatment of local citizens.The parents of many students don't understand what's going on, and they are easier to talk about, which gives the recruiters a lot of room to maneuver.

Many students with naive fantasies, before they go abroad, think that foreign countries are good. Some people pay the tuition fees, and after going abroad, they realize that they are not like what the admissions staff said. They feel cheated. There is no turning back the arrow.Because the parents have blown out the cowhide, they can only slap their faces and pretend to be fat and continue to stay abroad.As for whether a student can graduate and get a diploma, it all depends on the child's own life.

After the college entrance examination, the admissions directors of various universities in the country were very busy, especially private universities, and the whole school was dispatched with heavy blows. The admissions staff went to the front line and the teaching staff served as reception.

Dean Wang has already deployed elite soldiers and strong generals to dispatch across the country. His slogan is that wherever there are students, you can see the school's promotional materials. As long as there is a one in ten thousand possibility, don't give up easily. I would rather advertise to a thousand students than miss a single student.

Domestic admissions directors are busy, and foreign admissions directors can't stay idle.They know that Chinese people are willing to invest in education, so they flock to China to recruit students before and after the college entrance examination.This time is the most important time for recruiting students. All schools are holding admissions briefings. Among the universities in several countries that I have contacted, Xia Yu is still somewhat interested in Korean universities.

Xia Yu carefully analyzed the school's student sources. The school belongs to the education stage of junior college level, and the foundation of the students is average, but there are also some students who know how to study and their grades are very good.Although most of the students come from poor families in rural areas and cities.However, among the students reported every year, there are also a few, or even dozens, who come by plane, which shows that there are still some students whose families have financial strength.

Based on this situation, the students of this school should be able to make some achievements by going to Korean universities to obtain undergraduate diplomas.

Students study in our school for two years, and then pass the Korean language test to enter the Korean undergraduate study, creating a platform for students to study abroad, and finally get a bachelor's degree certificate, which will have a very good way out.It is also a kind of improvement for the image of the school itself.

So Xia Yu welcomed the Korean University's visit very much, so the two sides began to negotiate, mainly about the distribution of benefits and the sharing of tuition fees.

Director Jin said modestly to Xia Yu: "I haven't been in this job for a long time, please forgive me." After speaking, he looked at Xia Yu sincerely.

Xia Yu smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Really? Then I am your teacher. Since I took office, I have talked to dozens of schools, large and small, and have already Signed up a lot of schools."

When she was in the Foreign Language Institute, Xia Yu got along with Teacher Zhang and learned to brag, but Xia Yu found that what Teacher Zhang was bragging about was just a calf.

Now that Xia Yu is the head of the department, she often comes into contact with all kinds of people from all walks of life in the society.There are more knowledgeable people, especially more people who know how to brag. Her boss, Principal Wang, was a bullshit last time. Xia Yu went out with him for several meetings, and found that Principal Wang was always bragging to everyone. , and boasted brazenly, there were not a few truths in his mouth, except for lies, it was nonsense. Teacher Zhang couldn't compare with Principal Wang at all.

As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black.Society is a big dye vat, and under the influence of these braggarts, Xia Yuqing is better than blue than blue.She learned to pack herself, and she found that when talking to executives, especially those customers who don't meet often and don't know the details, you must blow when it's time to blow.Not only do you need to brag in general, but you also need to brag loudly, to suppress the other party's aura, to make the other party admire you, and to look at you high, which will make things easier in future cooperation.

Xia Yu knew very well in her heart that she had only contacted 5 or 6 companies, and several of them had not met in person, but only contacted by phone and email, and none of them had actually negotiated. Add a zero after each item.

"Long admiration, long admiration, the younger generation will definitely ask you for advice." Director Jin said with a smile.

"Where, where, you're being polite, I'm just asking for a little bit, let's negotiate together." Xia Yu felt that she had overwhelmed Director Jin in terms of momentum, and could start real negotiations.

So the two companies started to discuss the intention of cooperation with you and me.

"Please ask Director Xia to take a look at the tuition and living expenses of our school. You will find that they are not very expensive, and ordinary students can afford them." Director Jin handed over the university admissions promotional materials, which included the student's tuition and living expenses bills.

"Not bad, but I think the price could be a little cheaper."

"If we receive more money, we will also give Teacher Xia a suitable commission. I know that the cooperation between us will also require a lot of hard work from you." Not much, but it is also attractive to Xia Yu.

"I don't need this, I just strive for a better way out for my students." Xia Yuyan said insincerely.

This statement is half true and half false. From a personal point of view, Xia Yu knows that it has nothing to do with her to charge more tuition fees, and she still has benefits to reap.Everyone likes money, just like Xia Yuxin's immediate boss, Principal Wang.Principal Wang focuses on recruiting students, and for every student he recruits, in addition to salary, he has a commission of more than 1000 yuan.Now there are thousands of students every year, and his income has never been disclosed.
