Chapter 459 Donation of HK$100 million
“The foundation of Hong Kong University was laid on March 16, 1910. It was formerly known as Hong Kong Western Medical College and is the oldest higher education institution in Hong Kong. In the early days of its establishment, the size of Hong Kong University It is extremely small. From the official opening of school on March 11, 1912, to the first graduation ceremony held in December 1916, there were only 23 graduates. After April 9, 1948, the school's order reconstruction and structural transformation were carried out simultaneously, and it entered a period of rapid development. During the golden period, the number of enrolled students in the school has reached more than 6,000." Huang Lisong walked side by side with Su Cheng and introduced some information about Xiangjiang University to Su Cheng and others while browsing the school. .
Su Cheng nodded. With more than 6,000 students, it seems that Xiangjiang University is not that big.
On average, there are only more than a thousand people in the four-year university year. In addition, in addition to undergraduate students, Xiangjiang University also has graduate students, but the number is not large.
After all, the famous schools Su City was familiar with in its previous life basically had tens of thousands of students.
In comparison, the total number of students on campus is only a few thousand, which is indeed not a large number.
However, this also shows that there is still very high room for tapping the potential of universities in Xiangjiang.
The Xiangjiang University of this era is naturally incomparable in terms of scale with the Xiangjiang University that Su City was familiar with in its previous life, so the area is also much smaller.
The group of people walked slowly along the campus roads, and in about half an hour, they almost finished shopping.
On the way, President Huang specially explained the historical story of Xiangjiang University to Su Cheng, which made Su Cheng understand a lot of interesting things that he had not known before.
Along the way, many students recognized Su Cheng and were surprised to ask Su Cheng for his autograph.
At Xiangjiang University, Su Cheng has now become the idol of many students.
Su Cheng is similar in age to them, but he has become a world-famous super rich man. At this age, the students of Xiangjiang University are still students who can only rely on their parents.
In any era, many people will unknowingly form a concept of worshiping the strong, and Su Cheng is such a strong person and has become the object of their worship.
Of course, this is not limited to Xiangjiang University. Sioux City is the idol of many students in other universities and middle schools in Xiangjiang.
Originally, the accompanying security guards wanted to stop them, but Su Cheng did not embarrass them and asked them to come over directly and signed their names. Anyway, there were not many students on campus this weekend, so they would not be surrounded by many people. Not moving.
"Principal Huang, we have finished the tour of your school, why don't we find a conference room to sit down and chat." Standing in Zhongshan Square of Xiangjiang University, Su Cheng said to President Huang Lisong.
"Of course, Mr. Su, please come with me, we have already made arrangements." Huang Lisong said with a smile.
Afterwards, the group returned to the downstairs of the Xiangjiang University headquarters building.
In an oval conference room on the third floor, Su Cheng's subordinates and the school leaders sat on each side.
"Principal Huang, all the school leaders here, after visiting Xiangjiang University, I have a lot of feelings. It has continuously cultivated many talents for Xiangjiang society and benefited the major enterprises in Xiangjiang. However, during the visit, I I found that the experimental building of your school is relatively dilapidated, so I think it is necessary for Xiangjiang University to rebuild a newer and more advanced experimental building so that teachers and students of the school can teach and study in a better environment. Therefore, here , I decided on my personal honor to donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars to Xiangjiang University to build a new experimental building and purchase more advanced experimental equipment," Su Cheng stood up first and said.
Actually, this was not Su Cheng’s impulse. He had already thought about the donation before he came here. One hundred million, to him, is not much, but to a school, it is a huge sum of money and very important.
Since Su Cheng wants Xiangjiang University to cooperate with its companies and achieve school-enterprise cooperation, in addition to teachers, teaching equipment is also very important for the school.
For example, in the semiconductor laboratory, if the instruments in the laboratory of Xiangjiang University are too old and cannot keep up with the times, then the talents trained will easily be unable to keep up with the development of the times.
While the laboratories of other schools have been equipped with third-generation computers, the laboratory of Xiangjiang University is still using old second-generation computers. No matter how powerful the teachers are, it is difficult to teach knowledge that can keep up with the times. When students go out to work in society, they realize that they have to learn many things from scratch.
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, the leaders of Xiangjiang University were so excited that 100 million Hong Kong dollars could update many things in the school and make the school's teaching quality better.
Most of the buildings in Xiangjiang University are relatively old. For example, the current experimental building of Xiangjiang University has a history of several decades.
After Principal Huang Lisong discussed quietly with the vice principals on both sides, the vice principals on both sides nodded in agreement, and then Principal Huang stood up.
“On behalf of the entire Xiangjiang University, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Mr. Su Cheng for his donation. At the same time, in order to thank Mr. Su Cheng, our Xiangjiang University has decided that the new experimental building will be named after Mr. Su Cheng. Naming him will allow generations of students of Xiangjiang University to remember Mr. Su Cheng’s contribution to our school.” President Huang stood beside his seat and bowed deeply to Su Cheng.
In other words, after the construction of the experimental building begins, the building will be named the Sioux City Experimental Building, and this name will remain.
Su Cheng did not object to Principal Huang’s expression. This was what he deserved.
In this era, who would easily donate 100 million at once?
Yes, but very few.
From this moment on, Su Cheng can even be regarded as a great philanthropist in Xiangjiang.
After all, there are only a few people in Hong Kong who can donate more than 100 million.
Sucheng’s donation this time can also be said to cultivate more and better talents for the companies under his control. He has gained a good reputation and achieved his goal. It is really an approach that kills two birds with one stone.
In the future, when these students learn the most advanced knowledge in this experimental building named after Su City, their favorable impression of Su City will definitely continue to expand. In this way, when they go out into society, Su City will When companies recruit, they will also give priority to those companies in Suzhou City.
“These are what I should do. Take them from society, use them for society, and contribute my own modest efforts to promote the construction and development of society. Why not do it!” Su Cheng He responded with a smile.
"A good sentence is taken from the society and used in the society. From this sentence of Mr. Su, you can see that you are a great benevolent person and you deserve to be rich. I will find someone with this sentence. Erect a monument on campus so that students of Xiangjiang University can remember and learn from Mr. Su Cheng’s spirit!” President Huang sighed.
Unexpectedly, Principal Huang's way of speaking was a bit naughty.
