In the suburbs of Coro City, a 2000-acre, European-style manor stood tall . The majestic main building revealed the atmosphere of the academy with its green lawn and campus full of vitality . At the moment, in front of this luxury building, a crowd stood together . It was full of young people with faces full of energy .
The person standing on the high stage in the doorway was our protagonist, Jiang Chen .
First of all, this wasn't Jiang Chen's manor but a newly built university . . .
Well, in fact, there was essentially no difference between the two .
When Jiang Chen stood on the podium, people burst into cheers . People below the stage waved the Xin flag and the flag with Future Group's logo . They offered their highest respects to the leader of science and technology that led Xin to prosperity .
In the minds of the young people, he undoubtedly had an unwavering influence .
Wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, Jiang Chen stood on the podium, waved at the crowd, and picked up the microphone .
"Your enthusiasm really surprised me . This is probably the most energetic crowd I've made a speech to . "
" . . . "
Seeing Jiang Chen waving at them, the cheers of the people below the podium erupted like a flood .
"Look! He's waving at me!" A tall, beautiful woman pulled her best friend and shouted in excitement .
"Ah! He looked over here~"
"Long live Jiang Chen! Long live Xin! Long live Future Group!"
" . . . "
Looking at the pairs of eager eyes below the stage, Jiang Chen was smiling . Although it wasn't the first time he stood in front of tens of thousands of people, no matter how many times he stood in place, he still felt an endless wave of emotions . The young people below the stage were the future elites of Xin . They came from Xin and the whole world . Earning the praise of these proud intellectuals brought him a great sense of accomplishment .
With the atmosphere almost at its climax, he cleared his throat and spoke his opening remarks .
"I'm extremely honored to be here . As the first principal of Coro University, I will give an opening speech to our first freshman . "
Applause resounded then gradually stopped .
The noise gradually subsided, and the audience's eyes focused on him . In response to their eager gazes, Jiang Chen continued .
"I don't have much to say . I assume you don't want to hear me read a list of school regulations . Here, I'll talk about why Coro University was founded . "
"I've always stressed the importance of science and technology . Technology is changing our lives, changing the earth under our feet, and will change the solar system and even the milky way . "
"And it won't be banknotes, nor sophisticated experimental equipment, nor a principal who brags in front of you . . . that achieves all of this . "
After a pause, Jiang Chen's eyes glanced over every student below the stage .
"It is you who will make the change . "
"I believe this is also the reason why you have entrusted us with your futures . "
Thunderous applause resounded . There were faces full of passion and ambition . Jiang Chen recalled himself from seven years ago . At that time, he was also in a similar mentality and entered the big melting pot known as society . He was prepared to demonstrate some ambition in the field of mechanical automation . . .
In the end, he became a salesman and was let go .
He never thought it was due to his own abilities . At most, he chose the wrong road or chose a road that wasn't suitable for him . He always believed that no one was a genius, and mediocrity was simply a result of a person not being on the right path .
Under the flashes of the media and thunderous applause, Jiang Chen strode forward and pulled off the red silk covering the school monument, exposing the two gold-encrusted words "Coro University" before the eyes of the world . There was also the school motto engraved on the monument .
"Discovery, attempt, change . "
This was also the purpose of Coro University .
To discover, not to instill . Discover the merits of each student and guide them to find the right path for themselves . Their seemingly small forces would eventually breed the power to change the entire world .
. . .
Education is a strong foundation for a country's development . When he first started building Coro Island, Jiang Chen was already planning to build a world-class academic institution, freeing Xin from dependence on foreign talent and truly start nurturing Xin's own talents .
And now, he finally fulfilled his original idea .
Coro University had six colleges for the time being - the School of Economics and Management, the School of Information Technology, the School of Engineering and Technology, the School of Life Science, the School of Science, and the School of Aerospace Technology . When the teaching team was adequate, the School of Law and School of Culture and Media would also open, as well as the School of Marine Resources Development and so on .
The educational background of Xin was weak; it wasn't enough to support the faculty resources of a university .
However, the beautiful capital was here . Although it was just a pile of green money, it had the magic to change the world .
Future Group announced the establishment of the Xin Education Foundation and injected a billion US Dollar to Coro University in the name of a foundation, while promising to invest more than 100 million US Dollar each year . This 1 billion would be used to pay for professors' salaries, purchase advanced experimental equipment, improve the teaching environment, and most importantly, headhunt people .
If Xin didn't have professors who could teach, then they would go to a foreign university to buy them!
Harvard, Imperial College, MIT . . . as long as the professors met their requirements, then they would try to secure them at all costs! With high salaries and the most advanced experimental equipment, Jiang Chen didn't believe those professors and scholars who received invitations would be unmoved .
As for the cost? That wasn't what he was worried about at all .
Money put in the bank was merely a pile of waste paper . People would also think too much when the number was too high . It was only when money was spent that its value could be appreciated . Education was the only investment that would never lose money and Jiang Chen firmly believed this!
While expanding the academic abilities of Coro University, Jiang Chen didn't lessen his support of the supportive element of the university .
Each year, Future Group would provide 5,000 internship jobs to Coro University and recruit at least 3,000 people from the graduates to work in each subsidiary of the group .
For those students who had outstanding performance in certain areas, Future Group would also sign contracts directly with them and waive their tuition fees and living expenses during their schooling . After graduation, they would assume employment at Future Group . At the same time, Xin Education Foundation would set up a total of 1,000 scholarship awards and award a total of 10 million US Dollar a year to students who demonstrated excellence or required financial assistance .
This was undoubtedly great news for foreign students in Hua and even in the world .
The former resolved concerns related to graduation and the latter resolved the urgent problem at hand . For the young people who were deeply influenced by the Internet, what was more attractive than working at Future Group? As for tuition and living expenses, as long as students could get a scholarship, they didn't even need to spend a single penny for four years .
