Chapter 267 This is Pai Mian
In fact, as the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, Xu Songyao has a lot to do.
If a president of a first-class university wants to be busy, it can be said that he has endless things to do and endless meetings to hold.
But if it is a principal with ideas and perseverance, it will be even more different.
Xu Songyao was not mentally prepared for his role as the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Even a few months ago, I was thinking about what I should do if I retire from the position of vice president, and whether I should stay in Tangdu Jiaotong University to research projects.
Who would have thought that such a huge change would occur in just a few months.
I was directly promoted from vice principal to principal.
To be honest, Xu Songyao was very excited to be able to serve as the principal.
Although I was promoted to principal because of Zheng Hua and Wang Donglai, it was not all due to my own ability.
Heroes don’t ask where they come from!
After he was promoted, these reasons became less important, and no one would pay attention to them.
Xu Songyao became determined in just a few days about what he wanted to do after becoming the principal.
Lead Tangdu Jiaotong University to become a well-deserved first-class university in China and a first-class international university.
That’s why he will make drastic reforms one after another as soon as he takes office.
At this moment, when the email from the Hong Kong Shaw Mathematics Prize Jury was sent to Xu Songyao’s computer.
Xu Songyao laughed with satisfaction.
Xu Songyao was not surprised at all that Wang Donglai won the award.
I am afraid that Wang Donglai would be surprised only if he failed to win the award.
If this were the case, Xu Songyao might not be as happy as he is now.
What really made him happy was the content of the email.
The Shaw Prize was born on Hong Kong Island and claims to be the Nobel Prize of the East. Over the years, only one Chinese has won the award.
Each time it is held at the Convention and Exhibition Center on Hong Kong Island, and the then Governor of Hong Kong Island and some scholars with great reputation and status in the academic world will be invited.
Now, such a grand prize is planned to be held in the mainland.
Not only the mainland, but also Jiaotong University in the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Songyao can fully imagine how much shock this news will cause in the country if it spreads.
This does not mean that the status of the Shaw Prize is very high.
It is mainly the meaning of this incident that makes people feel shocked and surprised.
What the northern Qing Dynasty could not do, Jiaotong University in the Tang Dynasty did it.
Not to mention that there will be academic exchange meetings later that will invite famous domestic and foreign scholars and professors.
In his excitement, Xu Songyao immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.
The phone rang a few times and was answered.
"Songyao, why did you think of calling me? Did something happen?"
Zheng Hua's voice came from the other end of the phone. He was a little surprised, but also a little surprised. asked with a hint of concern.
"Old leader, everything is fine in the school, but I have some good news to tell you."
Xu Songyao said to Zheng Hua loudly with a smile.
Zheng Hua immediately became interested and asked: "Oh, what's the good news?"
"Donglai won the Shaw Prize in Mathematics, but he didn't have time to receive it. Award, but after telling the people on Hong Kong Island, they gave me a I sent an email saying that we are going to bring the award ceremony to our school and broadcast it live globally.”
Xu Songyao explained the matter clearly in a few words, and the excitement in his tone came through the phone. , all reached Zheng Hua’s ears.
“Okay! Okay! Okay!”
Zheng Hua said hello three times in a row, and his tone became excited.
Although he left Jiaotong University in the Tang Dynasty and was promoted halfway, Zheng Hua has not forgotten his origins.
Especially now when I hear the news about Wang Donglai, I feel even more proud.
“That’s it, let’s let people in China take a look at the changes in our school in the past two years. The ancients would say that scholars should be impressed by the three days apart. Our Tangdu Jiaotong University’s performance over the years has indeed been poor. How about it, but in exchange for Wang Donglai, it is all worth it.”
“Other schools have no choice but to envy them.”
Zheng Hua started talking excitedly on the other end of the phone. After a long time, he said: "It just so happens that I am going to a university for research and study during this period. This time, the location will be in our school, and I will also do something. When the time comes, we will bring the leadership of universities across the country to witness this moment.”
The more he said it, the more Zheng Hua felt that his idea was great.
After speaking a few words to Xu Songyao again, Zheng Hua hurriedly hung up the phone and began to prepare.
Xu Songyao on the other end was not idle after hanging up the phone.
Instead, he took out his cell phone and prepared to call Wang Donglai and call him over.
But as soon as the phone unlocked the screen, Xu Songyao stopped.
After thinking about it, Xu Songyao put the phone back and stood up from the chair.
“Forget it, let’s go see what Donglai is busy with these days!”
Muttering something in a low voice, Xu Songyao headed towards Wang Donglai’s office.
……
"Dong Lai, I heard that you have been busy with your feet and hitting the back of your head during this period. Battery research and development is not a simple matter. You can't rush. You have to take good care of your body. Can our school become the top class in the world? It’s all up to you.”
As soon as he walked into Wang Donglai’s office, Xu Songyao said this to Wang Donglai.
"Principal, why are you here?"
Wang Donglai raised his head when he heard the voice, looked at Xu Songyao and said.
"As I said, there is no need to be so hostile between you and me. Just call me Uncle Xu, principal."
Xu Songyao did not answer Wang Donglai's question, but emphasized again to Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai shook his head and said, "This is a school. It's better to call your job title when working. In private, I definitely won't call you that."
Xu Songyao knew that Wang Donglai didn't mean it. Just for fun, but for real Thinking this way, he shook his head and did not force Wang Donglai to change his attitude. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you received the email about the Hong Kong Shaw Jazz Award?"
"I didn't pay attention. What's wrong? ?" Wang Donglai asked curiously.
"You, they must have sent you an email. You probably didn't open the email to read it."
Xu Songyao didn't think people on Hong Kong Island would be so careless and would not inform Wang Donglai of such an important matter.
After all, Xu Songyao is not a child, so he naturally understands the reason why Hong Kong Island did this this time.
It is nothing more than taking a fancy to the academic potential contained in Wang Donglai. He not only wants to sell well, but also wants to use Wang Donglai's fame to increase the gold content of this award. It is precisely because of this that Xu Songyao did not agree immediately, but came to Wang Donglai to hear Wang Donglai's opinions.
"Dong Lai, didn't you say you couldn't go to receive the award on site? What do you think the judges of the Hong Kong Island Shaw Sir Award will make?"
Xu Songyao deliberately gave it a try and asked Wang Donglai.
"It is impossible for them to disqualify me from winning the award. In this case, combined with your tone, principal, they must have made some compromise, or done something that has never been done before. Am I right?"
Wang Donglai did not think about it seriously, but simply analyzed it verbally and said casually.
Xu Songyao nodded, not surprised that Wang Donglai could guess this.
“Since its establishment in 2004, the Sir Shaw Prize has been awarded on Hong Kong Island. The winners include scholars from Bald Eagle, scholars from Sunset Empire, and scholars from other countries. However, we have only one winner. bit.”
"So, in so many years, you are the second Chinese professor to win the Sir Shaw Mathematics Award."
"Each award ceremony is held at the Hong Kong Island Convention and Exhibition Center by the then Governor of Hong Kong Island. , it can be said that the cards are full.”
“Just now, I received an email from Hong Kong Island, and the sender was the Sir Shaw Mathematics Award. The chairman of the jury, Professor Yang Kai, the president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, put forward an idea in the email. "
"He said that after discussion by all members of the jury, it was decided to award this award. Let’s bring the ceremony to our school!”
After Xu Songyao said this, he didn’t say any more, but waited for Wang Donglai’s reaction.
Wang Donglai's expression was still extremely calm, without much fluctuation, and he said softly with emotion: "Listening to the principal's previous introduction, it seems that this time Professor Yang Kai was able to make such a decision, and he must have been under a lot of pressure. !”
“Yes, but although there is huge pressure, as long as it is successfully held, they will know that they have made a lot of money by doing this.”
Xu Songyao. He acted very confident and said with a proud tone.
Hearing what Xu Songyao said, Wang Donglai did not refute, but acquiesced.
“Donglai, what do you think?”
"This matter is related to you. They are all here for you. If you are willing, I will agree to it. If I feel that they have affected you, I will reject it!"
"In my case In my heart, you are much more important than this meaningless honor."
Xu Songyao said it seriously and was not trying to be polite.
Wang Donglai also understood this, but after thinking about it for a moment, he said aloud: "Since they want to come, let them come!"
"It just so happens that it can be considered for the future. The academic exchange meeting is warmed up! ”
Xu Songyao nodded and said with approval: "Okay, as long as it doesn't affect you, I will communicate with them. After all, this is a key award on Hong Kong Island. It is the first time that awards are being held in the mainland. It is estimated that there will be many awards by then. Few leaders will be alarmed, which is a benefit.”
“This time. The award ceremony should be regarded as a warm-up, and it will be held beautifully, so that scholars from all over the world can see the style of my students from Tangdu Jiaotong University.”
Speaking of these, Xu Songyao’s expression changed. He was extremely energetic, his eyes were full of light, and his whole person was full of high-spirited aura.
“Next, Donglai, you can just be busy with your own affairs, and leave the other things to me. Then just go on stage to receive the award.”
Xu Songyao and Wang Donglai After that, he hurriedly left Wang Donglai's office.
After all, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it is still very difficult to do it well.
Xu Songyao not only had to make proper arrangements within the school, but also communicated with Tangdu City to inform the matter.
When it comes to Hong Kong Island, don’t be careless!
Xu Songyao acted vigorously and immediately held a leadership meeting.
When he told this at the meeting, everyone became excited.
Therefore, the meeting went smoothly and an agreement was reached within a few moments.
The award ceremony will be held in the ceremony hall of Tangdu Jiaotong University, and major universities are invited to send representatives to participate.
At the same time, we are contacting major media to increase the scale of the award ceremony.
……
It must be said that the power of collective is huge.
Within Tangdu Jiaotong University, the work required for the award ceremony was completed in just a few days.
As for matters outside Tangdu Jiaotong University, they were left to Tangdu City.
2014, mid-September.
Wang Donglai met Yang Kai and others at Jiaotong University in Tangdu.
“Welcome to Tangdu, this is an ancient city full of historical heritage, I believe you will fall in love with it!”
As soon as they met, Wang Donglai shook hands with Yang Kai.
This was also the first time Yang Kai saw Wang Donglai, and the admiration and envy in his eyes simply overflowed.
“I believe I will, and only this kind of land can cultivate extraordinary talents like Professor Wang!”
Yang Kai is not too young, and he is also in charge of The president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong carries the aura of a superior person.
However, when talking to Wang Donglai, he subconsciously put it away and did not show any signs of it.
The award ceremony is not a simple matter.
Especially because this time the awards ceremony will be held in the Mainland, this is a great pressure for everyone in the Shaw Siren Award jury.
After all, they had already notified the Governor of Hong Kong Island and Yang Chenning.
As a result, just when the awards were about to be awarded, they decided to temporarily change the venue to Tangdu Jiaotong University.
If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s eloquence and Wang Donglai’s truly astonishing performance, no one would have supported this anyway.
Even now, many people are feeling uneasy.
I am afraid that this award ceremony will attract huge criticism and public backlash, and it will not achieve the effect they imagined at all.
However, the done deal was done, and they had no other choice but to continue on.
Fortunately, the arrangements made by Tangdu City and Tangdu Jiaotong University did not disappoint them.
We have given great support to this award ceremony.
First of all, the first-class universities in the country were invited, and these universities were very generous and sent representatives one after another.
Secondly, superior leaders also attach great importance to this and will appear in person to present awards.
Finally, the news media that came for this interview are all first-class domestic media.
Of course, the main station is indispensable.
Time flies by.
It's the day of the awards ceremony.
Originally, I wanted to hold it in the evening, but Xu Songyao vetoed it because he had to consider the Tangdu Jiaotong University students who were attending the ceremony.
So, the award ceremony was held during the day.
