Chapter 1611 Twenty-eight principles
The situation reported from the president of the National People's Congress made Li Mu realize that in this era, college students have fewer opportunities to go abroad than they imagined.
Now, both the economic situation and the internationalization level are far from reaching the level more than ten years later. In the era of more than ten years later, as long as you have money, you can study abroad after graduating from junior high school. Even if you can't even pass the IELTS and TOEFL, there are still a large number of overseas pheasant universities to choose from. Therefore, the popularity of going abroad at that time was so high that it lost its halo.
However, at present, studying abroad and exchanging abroad are far-reaching for most college students. Therefore, this is the fundamental reason why almost every domestic college has coveted the quota of more than 1,000 exchange students.
The top ten key universities are determined to win dozens or even hundreds of exchange student quotas for their schools every year, but those first- and second-tier universities also hope to get a small number of quotas, even if there are only three or five each year, it is a very big expectation for the students in their college.
At this moment, Li Mu even had an idea and simply communicated with the principal again and divided the remaining quotas evenly, at least there must be certain quotas for the 985 and 211 colleges across the country.
However, in the next moment, Li Mu overturned his own idea.
Just like running an education, you can formulate a basic policy that can cover all objects, but if you really want to cultivate leading enterprises, you must have resources to follow and respect the 28 principle that has been verified countless times.
So why American entrepreneurs always donate to top universities like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and mit, and donate tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. The fundamental reason is that only such top universities can make full use of so many donations, just like donating 100 million to Tsinghua in China. Maybe it can develop a new technology that is ahead of the country or even the world, but donating this 100 million to ordinary colleges is probably just a replacement for hardware inside and outside.
The more than 1,000 exchange students quotas correspond to the top ten universities in the UK. They not only represent excellent education levels, but also contain a good opportunity to open their horizons. Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Mu still felt that these opportunities were provided to the ten best prestigious universities in China, so that they could use the best resources and take the opportunity to cultivate more outstanding talents.
So, Li Mu said to the principal: "Since that's the case, let's throw the blame on me. All the released quotas will be given to the other nine top ten universities in the country, and will be distributed openly and fairly according to the formula I just mentioned. This rule and formula will be formulated by me. No modification is allowed in any form. Even colleges that have obtained the quota will not be allowed to transfer, but will be transferred to other schools, and will only be allowed to internally digest it."
The principal immediately smiled and said happily: "Oh, Li Mu, what I'm waiting for is your words. Only people outside of the education industry can say the same thing."
Li Mu said helplessly: "Anyway, you just don't want to take the blame, so I will take it for you."
After saying that, Li Mu said: "In addition, please go back and explain to the other schools that after the quota is allocated, in theory, they will be completely fair to decide which students in the school to allocate these quotas. I also respect their freedom. However, the exchange student information that is decided to be sent every year must be submitted to you, and then I will arrange for a special person to review it. If there is any phenomenon of favoritism and fraud, once verified, the quota allocated to this school will be fully collected and permanently put on the blacklist. Therefore, let their school do a good job of supervision."
The principal immediately said: "This is very important. I will definitely convey all your meaning to the person in charge of other schools."
Li Mu said: "That's basically it. We have to seize the time window of this year. Since the UK has given quotas, we will try to use it first this year and not wait until next year. So we will make the quota allocation as soon as possible, and let all universities set a list before November as soon as possible, so we will try to send this batch of students out at the end of the calendar year. Then in the next year, we will choose to send a new batch of students after the summer holidays."
The principal smiled and said, "If you have the opportunity, you can contact the top universities in the United States to see if they can provide us with a batch of exchange students, especially IT and high-tech. What we urgently need to cultivate talents in these fields."
Li Mu said: "To be honest, I do have this idea. When I go to the United States next time, I will find an opportunity to contact these schools. Harvard is generally okay. After all, they have obtained the operating rights of 3321 in the United States, so of course they have to give some rewards. As for other schools, I have to find the right chips to exchange with them."
When exchange students are carried out between colleges with similar comprehensive strength, both sides like to see them, but once the teaching level of the two sides is relatively large, the higher-level party will naturally feel that they are losing money. After all, academic exchange is not "Metamorphosis", which makes top schools like Harvard have to accept a certain number of students from Chinese universities every year. In the eyes of schools like Harvard and mit, it is a purely profitable transaction. Unless you make up for them in other aspects, you don't even think about it.
...
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu and William took a bus to the hotel.
Here, Li Ziwei has prepared a banquet. There is no one else for dinner tonight, only Li Mu, William, and Li Ziwei.
In the hotel's luxurious private room, Li Ziwei told Li Mu about the results of the cultural relics given by the queen. After authoritative appraisal, several collections were all very precious Chinese cultural relics. Among them, there was an exquisite bronze ware that could be classified as a sequence of first-class cultural relics. It was initially estimated that if these collections were all on auction, the transaction volume should be around 60 million yuan.
Li Mu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the queen was so willing to give up. The meeting gift was worth almost five to six million pounds. The most important thing was that these were all Chinese cultural relics and were of great significance.
So Li Mu said to Li Ziwei: "On the way I came, I was still talking about this to William. I wanted to hold a three-party donation ceremony. William attended on behalf of the Queen and the entire Windsor family, and then I, and the Palace Museum. If you turn around and confirm your wishes with the Palace Museum, if they are willing, they will cooperate with us to hold a donation ceremony in the Palace Museum. At that time, we will invite a small number of journalists from major media to attend."
Li Ziwei immediately said, "Then I will go there tomorrow and communicate with them about this matter."
Li Mu nodded and reminded: "Tell them, just say I have an idea to start a private charity campaign of "Returning Chinese Overseas Cultural Relics in China". This is the trigger point. Then Muye Technology and Taobao Technology respectively distributed part of the funds to repurchase those Chinese cultural relics lost overseas, and then called on private entrepreneurs, philanthropists, ordinary people, overseas Chinese to participate. If the Palace Museum is interested, then we will host this charity campaign with them. The funding of the event will be borne by Muye Technology. They can contribute their efforts, especially experts and scholars with high value."
Li Ziwei quickly wrote down the key points in her small notebook, and then said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, do you have other information to convey besides these?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Let me ask for your intention first. The rest are all questions in the execution stage. If they have no objection, please help me communicate with CCTV to see if they are interested in making a documentary about the lost cultural relics in China. If they are interested, they will take the lead. We cooperate with the Palace Museum and contact the three parties to produce them."
"Okay." Li Ziwei said simply: "Then I will go to the Palace Museum tomorrow morning. If the Palace Museum can determine its intention before noon, I will go to CCTV in the afternoon. If the Palace Museum temporarily disagrees or needs to consider it, I will report to you in real time based on the actual situation."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction. Li Ziwei's logic in doing things is very good. Often, as long as she explains the needs clearly to her, she will figure out the key nodes of each step and advance it layer by layer in the shortest time.
As soon as he explained this, Li Mu arranged for William to have dinner. After a few bites, his cell phone started to shake in his pocket.
He took it out and took a look. Li Mu was a little surprised. It turned out to be Wendy of the goldberg family.
Li Mu suddenly remembered that Wendy told herself a few days ago that she seemed to be studying in China soon. Could it be that she has arrived?
After answering the phone, Li Mu smiled and said, "Hello Wendy, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently?"
Wendy's voice came from the other end of the phone, and she said in an authentic London accent: "Mr. Li, I will take a plane to China in a few hours. If you have time, I want to visit you first."
Li Mu asked her with a smile: "Are you going to report to Yanda?"
"Yes." Wendy smiled and said, "The school is about to start enrolling, and I just happened to want to go to Yanjing in advance to get to know the life and climate there."
Li Mu said: "It just so happens that William is also in China these days, and we just finished our business. I am planning to take him around tomorrow. Since you are here tomorrow, why not join us."
Wendy said without hesitation: "That's great! It's really a good thing to meet two good friends in Yanjing!"
Li Mu said happily: "When will your plane take tomorrow?"
Wendy said: "It should be eleven o'clock in the morning when we arrive in Yanjing."
Li Mu asked again: "Have you booked the hotel?"
"Not yet." Wendy said: "I'll talk about it when I'm in Yanjing."
Li Mu said, "Then I'll arrange for someone to open another room for you in the hotel where William stays."
Wendy said happily: "Okay, thank you so much, Mr. Li!"
