On the outskirts of Coro City, a 2000-acre European-style manor-style building was located here. The majestic main building exuded an academic vibe, and the green lawn made everything full of vitality. At this moment, at the entrance of this luxurious building, a dense crowd stood together. As far as the eye could see, they were all young faces, and all of their faces were filled with enthusiasm.
The person standing on the high platform at the entrance was our protagonist, Jiang Chen.
First of all, this was not Jiang Chen's manor, but a newly built university …
Well, in fact, there was no essential difference between the two.
When Jiang Chen stood on the podium, the crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers. The people in the audience waved the small national flag of Xin and the small flag with the logo of Future Group, offering the highest respect to the leader of the high-tech enterprise who led Xin to prosperity.
In the hearts of young people, he undoubtedly had an unshakable influence.
Wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, Jiang Chen stood on the podium, smiled and waved to the crowd, then picked up the microphone.
"I'm really shocked by your enthusiasm. This is probably the most enthusiastic public speech I've ever attended."
Seeing Jiang Chen waving to them, the cheers of the crowd hit them like a wave.
"Look, look! He's waving to me! "A tall beauty pulled her best friend and shouted excitedly.
"Ahhh! He's looking over ~ "
"Long live Jiang Chen! Long live Xin! Long live Future Group! "
"…"
Looking at the pairs of eager eyes in the audience, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face. Although it was not the first time he stood under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, no matter how many times he faced this scene, he still couldn't help but feel excited. The young people in the audience were the future elites of Xin. They came from Xin and even the world. To be able to make these proud intellectuals worship him, the sense of accomplishment was really not small.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost there, he cleared his throat and said the opening remarks.
"It's a great honor for me to stand here, as the first president of Coro University, to present the opening speech to our first batch of freshmen."
The applause sounded and then gradually stopped.
The voices at the scene gradually subsided, and the eyes of the audience gathered here. Jiang Chen responded to the expectations in the eyes of the audience.
"I don't have a lot of words, and I believe you don't want to listen to me read a lot of school rules and regulations. Here, I'm going to talk about why Coro University was established. "
"I have always emphasized the importance of technology. Technology changes our lives, changes the earth under our feet, and in the future, it will also change the solar system and even the Milky Way galaxy."
"And what will achieve all of this is not money, nor is it fancy experimental equipment, nor is it a president who only knows how to brag to you …"
After a pause, Jiang Chen's eyes scanned every student in the audience.
"It's you, you."
"I believe that this is the reason why you have entrusted your future to us.
The applause was thunderous. The passionate and proud faces in the audience reminded Jiang Chen of himself seven years ago. At that time, he had a similar feeling when he entered the university, which was a small dye vat of society, and was ready to show off his ambition in the field of mechanical automation …
In the end, he became a salesperson and got off the job.
He never thought that it was because he was incapable. At most, it was because he was blind and chose the wrong path, or because he was too perfunctory in choosing a path that was not suitable for him. He had always believed that no one was a genius, and that mediocrity was simply because they had not found the path that was not mediocre.
In the flashes of the media and thunderous applause, Jiang Chen strode forward, waved his hand, and removed the red brocade on the school monument, exposing the four gold-inlaid words of Coro University to the eyes of the world. At the same time, the motto engraved on the stone tablet was also recorded in the history books.
"Discover, try, and change."
The same was the purpose of Coro University.
To discover, not indoctrinate. Discover every student's strong points and guide them to find the path that suits them best. Those seemingly small forces would eventually give birth to the power to change the entire world.
…
Education was the foundation of a country's development. As early as the establishment of Coro Island, Jiang Chen planned to build a world-class institution of higher learning to free Xin from its dependence on foreign high-tech talents and truly achieve the goal of producing and selling high-end talents.
And now, he finally realized his original idea.
Coro University temporarily had six colleges: the College of Economics and Management, the College of Information Technology, the College of Engineering Technology, the College of Life Science, the College of Science, and the College of Aerospace Technology. When the faculty team was sufficient, the College of Law and the College of Culture and Media, as well as the College of Marine Resources Development, would be opened.
The educational foundation of Xin was very weak and did not have the faculty to support a university.
However, the charm of capital was here. Although it was just a pile of green bills, it had the magic to change the world.
Future Group announced the establishment of the Xin Education Foundation and injected 1 billion US Dollar into Coro University in the name of the foundation, with an annual injection of more than 100 million US Dollar. The 1 billion US Dollar would be used to pay teachers' salaries, purchase advanced experimental equipment, improve the teaching environment, and most importantly, poach people.
If Xin didn't have professors who could teach, then they would buy them from foreign universities!
Harvard, Imperial College, MIT … As long as they met the requirements, they would buy them regardless of the cost! With high salaries and state-of-the-art experimental equipment, Jiang Chen didn't believe that the professors and scholars who received the invitation would not be tempted.
As for the cost? That wasn't a problem he considered at all.
Bills in the bank were just a pile of waste paper, and storing too much would only make people worry about it. Only when it was spent would its value be reflected. And education was the only investment that would never lose money. Jiang Chen had always believed in this!
While expanding Coro University's hard power, Jiang Chen did not relax on its soft power.
Every year, Future Group would provide 5,000 internship positions to Coro University and recruit at least 3,000 people to work in the group's branches.
For students who performed well in certain aspects, Future Group would also directly sign contracts with them to fully cover their tuition and living expenses during the school period and agree to work in Future Group after graduation. At the same time, the Xin Education Foundation would also set up a total of 1,000 scholarship awards and provide a total of 10 million US Dollar each year to students with outstanding performance or in need of help.
This was undoubtedly great news for international students in Hua and even around the world.
The former solved their worries, and the latter solved their top priority. For young people who were deeply influenced by the Internet, what was more attractive than working in Future Group? As for tuition and living expenses, as long as they could get a scholarship, they didn't even need to spend a penny.
