"How was it, was Switzerland fun?" The person in charge started the conversation with so small talk.
"It was alright."
Tang Qing shook his head slightly.
"It was alright?" asked the person in charge.
It was alright, so why are you shaking your head?
"There are many ancient buildings preserved, history is everywhere, but I couldn’t really appreciate it. As for natural beauty, there are many places in Huaxia that can compare. If only they’re developed, they won’t be inferior to here."
These words.
They liked hearing them.
"Haha, right, we have such a vast land, if we develop it well, how could it not compare." After laughing, the person in charge casually asked, "I heard recently that you’re planning to establish a university?"
"It’s in the approval process, I don’t know how long it will take for it to be approved." Tang Qing feigned a helpless expression.
Being modest is better.
And this.
Made a few inford people nod silently to themselves.
So things.
Can be done.
But cannot be said, let alone be boasted about. At such a young age, Tang Qing has this awareness - it is quite rare. So people know soone and go around speaking big words, claiming there is nothing they can’t do.
They would never dare to boast like that.
"As long as the procedures are correct, it shouldn’t be too slow." The person in charge knew that there were many parties involved in this matter. Although connections had been used, it also depended on what it was about, this wasn’t a money-making deal.
Education.
The foundation of a nation.
It’s a good thing that Tang Qing has this intention."
"It’s just a pity that I can only offer undergraduate degrees." Tang Qing said with disappointnt.
"You also want to offer postgraduate degrees? Do you know that till now no private university has the authority to confer master’s degrees." The person in charge said with a chuckle, the higher the level of education, the more strict the managent.
One must be responsible for the word ’education’.
Especially for private institutions.
Self-financed.
If one day they shut down.
Would those postgraduate qualifications still count? This is a big problem, hence why the authorities are so cautious, whereas for public universities, unless they really ss things up on their own, they don’t have this worry.
At worst, universities will rge.
"I know, so it’s very regrettable." Tang Qing spread his hands open.
He never intended to gain anything here in the first place.
Useless.
Granting a private university the authority to confer master’s degrees is not sothing that can be done just by soone making a request; it has to go to a council eting, and only with impressive achievents might it be possible to achieve.
Right now.
Not even one cohort of undergraduates has graduated.
Thinking of offering postgraduate degrees.
Difficult.
What he has to do now.
Is to improve the educational standard of his own university so that the talent is recognized by the public; that is the right path. When the country opens up the first batch of pilot programs for private master’s education, try to vie for it, perhaps it could be achieved then.
As for a PhD?
He hadn’t thought about it.
Private university master’s pilot programs – ten years later and there are only five.
PhD?
That would have to wait until the cows co ho, he might as well look for other solutions, such as acquiring or collaborating with foreign universities for international degree confernt, there’s no need to stubbornly stick with dostic degrees.
"Do well, I actually want to see what will be different about your university."
"I will." Tang Qing nodded earnestly.
"You’ve been making so big moves recently, establishing research centers, and launching sothing called WeChat that has many dostic companies on edge." The person in charge shifted the topic away from universities.
"I have no other choice, to get things done, you inevitably touch upon the interests of others. I think it’s good. Everyone regards as a competitor and they all get down to hard work. I think it’s a good thing," Tang Qing said indifferently.
"..." The crowd.
Being seen as a competitor.
Yet thinking it’s a good thing.
"You’re right, with pressure cos motivation. The future international business environnt will be very complex. We need a large number of companies that can adapt to the international business environnt, are competitive, have foresight, and are capable of growth."
In response.
The person in charge greatly admired this.
Disruption.
For the economy, it’s not growing pains but rather a series of elevations. When companies lack the drive for innovation, being eliminated by the market is inevitable, and it’ll be a self-culling.
The best outco.
Would be not waiting for people from other countries to do the eliminating.
By then it would be too late.
"Very well, you can talk to us if you have any difficulties in the future."
"What a coincidence, I have one right now," Tang Qing responded hastily.
"..."
Others were taken aback.
You really know how to seize the mont.
"Oh? Let’s hear it," the person in charge asked with interest.
"Lack of funds."
Tang Qing uttered two words.
"..."
"You’re short of money?"
"Yeah, the company’s money, I’ve reinvested it to expand the scale, but we’ve recently initiated a huge project, and we need a lot of money for it. So, I thought of getting a loan, but the amount is sowhat large."
"Are you talking about Hummingbird Business Storage?" The person in charge instantly thought of a company. If we’re talking about big projects undertaken by Tang Qing recently, then this business must be it, because it’s the ’poorest’ right now.
"Yes."
"How much money do you want to borrow?" asked the ICBC Bank manager by the side.
"That depends on how much you can lend. The more, the better," Tang Qing said with a chuckle.
You’re really bold, thinking you can drain ICBC dry. However, they still have high hopes for the Hummingbird Business Storage project. The person in charge asked directly, "Na your price first."
Tang Qing extended three fingers.
"Three billion?" the ICBC Bank manager guessed.
Upon hearing that.
Tang Qing blinked, if it was just three billion, wouldn’t I have approached Qingyan City?
"Three hundred billion RMB."
"Cough cough."
The ICBC Bank manager was a bit overwheld. Three hundred billion, such a large sum, do you realize how much could be accomplished with this much money in 2008? You could build thousands of kiloters of highways.
Others also clicked their tongues in awe.
Isn’t this a bit too stimulating?
"Three hundred billion, are you sure?" the person in charge ca back to his senses.
"Originally, I wanted five hundred billion, but I was afraid the bank couldn’t co up with that much."
Tang Qing made a startling remark.
"..."
Such audacity.
Five hundred billion.
You really dare to aim high.
"What’s the collateral? Qingyuan Technology?" the ICBC Bank manager inquired, thinking it was possible if that was the case. The company’s profit was over twenty billion last year, so the risk wouldn’t be too great.
"No collateral," Tang Qing shook his head.
"Ha-ha, you want to reap rewards without sowing?" the person in charge laughed heartily.
"Heh, not exactly. I believe this project is worth well over a thousand billion, even more, but the early stages are quite costly," Tang Qing planned. A hundred billion would be enough to start the dostic layout.
But then he thought.
If I directly quote a hundred billion, they might decide to negotiate and cut the amount. It would be better to quote higher. If it works out, it simply ans accelerating the layout speed, if not, I’d still have over a hundred billion to work with.
The person in charge: "..."
It’s more than just costly.
It’s outright burning money.
"Manager Liu, what do you think?"
"It’s too much. We’d find it difficult to approve funding of this scale for such a project. Boss Tang, do you really need to invest that much?" asked the bank manager, who felt the constraints vividly since the bank wasn’t his personal property.
There are procedures.
There’s a system.
If it was a state venture.
It’d be easy.
But this is a private comrcial loan.
"Not a cent less. I estimate that just the first phase of the dostic layout will cost over a hundred billion. If we include international expansions, five hundred billion is just a starting point."
