Chapter 1066: A fraction (additional update for the leader of the Prancing Horse Tianshan)
"Principal, I brought him here today for another matter." Gu Kailai was a little embarrassed. It seemed that at a certain progress report meeting, Lin The principal did mention that he wanted to meet Zhou Zhi, but he himself forgot about it.
It seems that Principal Lin thought that he brought Zhou Zhi to visit her specially this time, and the meeting started with a process of praise and encouragement.
"Oh?" Principal Lin was slightly surprised. The computer department had mentioned several times that Zhou Zhi was a great talent in information engineering management and wanted to recruit him there. Could it be that the old Gu family expressed their stance today? Are you willing to let him go?
"Ahem, that's it..." Gu Kailai said: "You also know that this child has some connections. Before he entered the school, he brought donations from the Li family and the Feng family in Hong Kong to the school. It is now Qiyan Building and Hongsheng Building. Later, through Professor Li Leshan, we received joint donations from IBM and Microsoft to establish the Computing Center.”
"Then do you have any requirements now?" Principal Lin has been very busy recently with the merger with West China University and USTC. Time is very precious. I originally thought of encouraging the child and ending the meeting, but now the situation is not like a small matter. .
"No, it's this kid who came up with another idea. He wanted to build a...museum for the school."
"What?" Principal Lin was shocked: "Isn't our school already? Do you have a museum?”
Zhou Zhi couldn’t help but chuckle. The current president of Shu University does not have the structure and courage of the 211 University. There is only one campus in total. After adding West China University and Shudu University of Science and Technology, the area is only one-fifth of the hereafter.
Of course, we can’t blame Principal Lin. Everyone grows up slowly. Now we are still far away from the expansion of Shu University to the Jinjiang campus, let alone building a larger one directly in the suburbs in the future. of several campuses.
Even the Provincial Museum is not decent yet. It is almost a small unit similar to a cultural center and archives, let alone a school museum.
Zhou Zhi took the words and replied: "This matter was originally mentioned when I was chatting with several members of the Li family. Now that the Three Gorges Project has begun, many cultural relics along the river are in urgent need of rescue and the project is huge. The state’s funding seems to be relatively tight at the moment, and cultural preservation work has not yet received the attention of the whole society.”
“So everyone wants to do their best. Dianxinli is planning to establish a Three Gorges Cultural Protection Fund, which has already raised US$16 million in start-up capital."
"How much?" Principal Lin was shocked: "It's not necessary to exchange it for RMB..."< br>
"More than 100 million." Zhou Zhi said calmly: "According to the current exchange rate, it is less than 120 million."
"So much..." Gu Kailai almost cried. Last year, I asked the school for research funds, and they only gave me 50,000 yuan after crying and shouting. With the support of several wealthy relatives, it was hundreds of millions in one stroke!
One hundred million yuan, how many fifty thousand is it...
Principal Lin actually wants to cry a little. He is sorting out the history of the school these days. After statistics, he found that from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present , the state has only allocated a total of 120 million to Shu University. Including the donations from Feng Hongsheng and Li Qiyan the year before last, it was less than 140 million.
"Wait for me to make a call first." Principal Lin was also a person who had seen big storms. He coughed lightly to calm down, and then picked up the phone: "Xiao Zhang, we will postpone today's meeting. I have a big thing to deal with right now. Well, I’ll arrange it for the afternoon... Do you have a meeting in the afternoon? Then... OK, you can figure out how to arrange it. That’s it.”
< br >After hanging up the phone, Principal Lin smiled and said: "I've been a little busy lately, so I postponed this morning's meeting. Xiao Zhouqian continued. Sit down, why are you still standing?" "That's it." Zhou Zhi sat down and explained to Principal Lin the inherent relationship between the establishment of the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Fund and the establishment of a comprehensive museum at Shu University, and then drew up a design blueprint for Principal Lin.
After completion, the Shu University Museum will be a comprehensive large-scale museum, covering an area of 4,000 square meters, with four floors above ground and two floors underground, with a total construction area of 24,000 square meters and an exhibition area of 8 Thousand square meters, the research institute and warehouse area are 12,000 square meters, and part of the area is garage, audience rest area and cultural and creative product area.
This museum is not only a place for scientific research and open to tours and learning only for faculty, staff and students, but also open to the outside world, integrating cultural relic collection, protection, restoration, scientific research, display, science popularization, communication, and multimedia. It is a high-level comprehensive museum that integrates various functions such as communication and academic lectures.
Such a large university museum does not yet exist in China, but it is very common abroad, and many universities have more than one.
For example, the University of Cambridge has the Fitzwilliam Museum, the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, the Museum of Zoology, the Museum of Classical Archeology, the HP Museum of Science and History, the Sedwick Earth Museum, and the Scott Arctic Institute Museum. There are seven larger ones, and some of each department has its own small museum.
For example, Yale has its own art museum, natural history museum, Katzita Private Collection Museum, and a botanical garden.
Compared with these old universities, domestic university museums still have a long way to go.
Now Zhou Zhi wants to let Shu Da eat this soup, and... it’s free? Then this pot head soup is so fragrant.
Principal Lin had a feeling in his heart. Even if this kid studied humanities, he would still be able to do well, unlike what Lao Mai and Lao Li said about delays!
See how necessary and sufficient the reasons are to find out in order to sponsor the school? How clear and feasible is the designed route?
This is a response to the people's sentiments, and all parties have gained their own benefits. This is not easy.
Well, maybe there will be some complaints from Hubei Province, but she heard the rumors and immediately launched a "big battle" regarding the Three Gorges cultural protection work. Almost every provincial cultural protection unit in the country will send personnel to provide strong support.
Yuzhou is still a bit weak in strength now, but the capital of Shu and the University of Shu, with the support of 100 million and the big museum, can definitely serve as a logistics base, storage base, and research base!
Of course a good thing is a great thing, and I have already experienced all the magic of the child in front of me, but Principal Lin is still a little confused. Why does the Li family trust him so much and let him talk to him about this? Son?
In other words, is this child’s current statement reliable?
As if he had guessed Principal Lin's concerns, Zhou Zhi opened his schoolbag and took out a piece of information: "Principal Lin, these are our preliminary ideas. We all think that we can use a fraction of this fund to build the museum first. "
"A fraction?" Principal Lin's heart was already heated, and there was even some enthusiasm in his tone: "A fraction after 100 million, or a fraction after 10 million?"
"This? It is a letter of intent for the foundation and a donation proposal for the Shu University Museum project. Both documents have the approval signature of all members of the foundation. " Zhou Zhi handed over the things in his hands: "Principal, you can understand it at a glance. "< br>
Principal Lin's hands were trembling slightly. He took the two documents and turned to the end. Sure enough, several signatures were there. Except for Xu Anxin's, the rest were all in English. This should be the habit of Hong Kong people.
She also couldn't connect these English names with the Li family, but she already knew it in her heart. This matter probably didn't get away with them.
This fraction is nearly 20 million! !
