Chapter 93: Monkey King University
Zhang Feng came to the company this time with the intention of asking the Monk family to apply for a university in the United States. His purpose was certainly not to let his children attend his own university.
His apparent purpose in establishing a university was to realize his own charitable aspirations, to contribute to society and to give back to society.
The real purpose is to create a charitable image for oneself, give oneself a protective color, and improve one's social status in America.
Secondly, he hopes to cultivate the next generation of elites by establishing a university and use them for his own purposes. He hopes to recruit scientific and technological talents into his own company and political and business talents into his own network.
Another reason is that it can serve as a bridge for future educational communication between America and Zhangjiacheng.
Of course, it is also a pleasant thing to have an Ivy League university named after you in the United States.
There are 99 floors in Phoenix Building. Zhang Feng’s office is on the top floor, but he seldom comes here to work.
"The content of today's meeting is to discuss the establishment of a university, how many colleges to open in the initial stage, and which colleges." Today's meeting was chaired by Zhang Feng, who spoke first.
"Boss, Shennong Biopharmaceutical Company can help open a medical school, mainly in medicine, biomedicine, hygiene, etc. The company has a lot of talents in these fields and can fully support a college."
Sharlock, president of Shennong Biopharmaceutical Company, was the first to speak.
"Boss, Liushen Company can provide assistance in material science." said the manager of Liushen Company
"Boss, Maple Leaf Group can provide support in legal and financial management," Paulson said.
"Well, there are already four colleges. Are there any additional ones?" Zhang Feng asked after looking around.
"Boss, I think we should also open a college of natural sciences. This is the foundation of science." The speaker this time was a recently recruited think tank member.
"Then the humanities are naturally indispensable." Another think tank member said immediately.
After a heated discussion, it was finally decided to set up the following disciplines:
1. Medical School: covers disciplines such as medicine, biomedicine, and public health.
As a medical education and research center, it is committed to training students to become qualified doctors and medical professionals, promoting medical research and clinical practice, and is also the talent base of Shennong Biopharmaceutical Company.
2. School of Engineering: covers disciplines such as materials science, mechanical engineering, and electronic communications; it mainly cultivates students' engineering design and problem-solving abilities, and focuses on technological innovation and applied research.
3. Law School: Mainly trains lawyers and politicians
4. Business School: covers disciplines such as management, economics, marketing, and finance; it is committed to cultivating students' business acumen and management capabilities, and training students to become outstanding business leaders and entrepreneurs. In fact, its main purpose is to train senior employees for Zhang Feng's company.
5. School of Natural Sciences: covers disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, and geography; mainly basic sciences, the school focuses on cultivating students' scientific thinking and experimental abilities, and promoting the development and innovation of science and technology.
6. College of Humanities: covers a wide range of disciplines, including literature, history, language, philosophy, etc. The college is committed to cultivating students' humanistic literacy and critical thinking skills, and encouraging academic exploration and innovation.
7. School of Social Sciences: covers disciplines such as psychology, political science, economics, and sociology.
8. School of Education: covers disciplines such as pedagogy, psychology, and educational technology; trains students to become outstanding educators and educational managers.
For now, there are these 8 colleges, and we will increase or reduce the number according to the development of the times.
"You organize a school-running team, allocate funds, survey the school site, build the school, recruit university administrators,
"I will be responsible for the recruitment of teachers, students, etc. If you have any questions, please report to me at any time. As for the name of the university, it will be called Mengqizhang University."
Zhang Feng gave the final instructions.
Zhang Feng has made up his mind to run this university well, and make as much money as possible from the catfish and Zhou Gongzi in China.
Donations from China's wealthy people are also important, as their money comes easily.
Running a university is a huge expense, and it is destined to require continuous investment in the early stages. Before it becomes famous, there will be no donations from philanthropists and wealthy people, and it is even more impossible for well-known alumni to give back to their alma mater, and student places are not valuable.
Madagascar’s cooperation with Germany is also a bottomless pit. Now it is at war with Saudi Arabia in Yemen. The British Empire is ready to make a move, and the French will soon be unable to hide it.
All of this requires a lot of money. Zhang Feng found that he had spread his business too wide, but after thinking about it, he felt that the time window was not long. Ten thousand years was too long, so he had to seize the day.
You still have to persevere. The more you invest now, the greater the rewards you will get in the future.
Zhang Feng was the only one left on the 99th floor. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the white clouds in the blue sky and fell into deep thought.
Thinking about other profitable industries, now that he had the Phoenix Sports Club, could he also make sports shoes and clothing? However, the money came in too slowly and too little. Suddenly, he thought of the temple gold that appeared in many time-travel novels before. Maybe it was time to withdraw the money he had deposited in India. It had been almost 9 years and there was no interest.
As Salafiya, Kingdom of Yemen.
Li Yalong discussed with the Yemeni military to gather troops from the southern region. The Yulin Mercenary Company sent 5000 people to form the Southern Corps to launch a counterattack against the Saudi army in the Hodeidah area. Yemeni King Yahya has also agreed.
After nearly a month of efforts, the Yemeni military gathered the previously defeated soldiers and forcibly captured some strong villagers to form an army of 2 people.
"Soldiers, we have suffered humiliation and oppression since the Ottoman Empire occupied our territory. Then the British came and occupied a large area of our southern land and forced us to sign an unequal treaty. After our great king led the people to independence and established the Kingdom of Yemen, the Saudis came to massacre our people. In order to stop being oppressed, we must pick up our guns, drive away the invaders and defend our country."
A general was standing on the stage and giving a passionate speech. Some of the soldiers below were excited, while others had no expression on their faces.
"Captain, I remember that when Boss Zhang gave us a speech last time, he used the idea of defending our current affluent life to inspire everyone to fight bravely. Why did their general use his previous suffering experience to inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit? I don't understand."
A Yulin mercenary looked at the captain beside him and asked.
"Because a wealthy life has nothing to do with them. Their lives were the same before independence. Look at this Yemeni general, he has a thick neck and a big belly, he doesn't look like a soldier at all, and these soldiers are skinny. Their interests have been plundered by their king and ministers. Now only this can inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Don't you see that these Yemeni soldiers are numb? I think this war will be difficult to fight."
The captain said with a pout.
According to his observation, the soldiers near the Yemeni capital are still capable of fighting and have the courage to defend their country, but in areas outside the capital Sanaa, there is no difference between soldiers and refugees and they have no fighting spirit at all.
No matter how bad these soldiers were, they were still fully qualified to be cannon fodder. The Yulin mercenaries became temporary instructors for these soldiers and gave them a week-long intensive training.
We strive to enable them to play a certain role on the battlefield in the near future and reduce the losses of the Yulin mercenaries. After all, a considerable amount of pension will be spent for each death.
Just as the Yulin and Yemeni coalition forces were forming the Southern Legion, Saudi Arabia was also taking action.
Saudi Arabia sent envoys abroad to find the Governor of Aden and expressed that the interests of the two sides were consistent. Currently, the Saudi army was under heavy bombardment from the aircraft and tanks of the Yulin mercenaries and was retreating step by step.
So the hope is to buy some planes and tanks from the British Empire at a low price.
Prior to this, Saudi Arabia had contacted American arms dealers through Mobil Oil Company.
The predecessor of Standard Oil Company was the Pacific Coast Oil Company, which was founded in San Francisco, California in 1879 and was acquired by the Rockefeller Consortium in 1900.
In 1933, Saudi Arabia leased the right to exploit oil in an area of 93.2 square kilometers to Standard Oil Company of California, USA for a period of 66 years.
Through this relationship, Saudi Arabia easily ordered dozens of aircraft and tanks. At that time, Saudi Arabia was not as wealthy as it will be in the future.
Saudi Arabia first discovered oil in 1938, when Standard Oil Company explored for oil on leased land. Saudi Arabia then gradually took off and became a major oil exporting country.
Moreover, even if it bought the planes, Saudi Arabia does not have any pilots, and the pilots still need time to be trained.
In addition to hoping to purchase aircraft and tanks from the British Empire at low prices, Saudi Arabia's goal this time also hopes that the British can send pilots to support them in combat.
Of course, it would be best to persuade the British to intervene directly and for the two countries to unite against the Yulin and Yemeni coalition forces.
The British will certainly not get involved personally. If the war is on land, the British will try not to get involved if possible.
The British Empire only wanted to maintain a balance on the various continents, allowing them to check and balance each other on land. It would be best if they both suffered losses in the fight, so that the British Empire could reap the benefits.
The British Empire's reputation as a troublemaker was not earned for nothing, and the Continental Balance Policy did indeed bring them unimaginable benefits, but in the end it also backfired.
Therefore, the British Empire only agreed to sell a batch of retired or even in-service aircraft at a low price. They had to replace their equipment anyway, so they could make a profit.
As for sending pilots, that's no problem, but they need to be paid.
In the end, the two countries reached an agreement. Britain sold a batch of aircraft and tanks to Saudi Arabia at a low price, and also sent a group of pilots as volunteers to support Saudi Arabia's just war against the Yulin and Yemeni coalition forces.
