We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Counting the time, I haven't been here for a year since Hong Kong University of Science and Technology got on track.

Looking at the obvious increase in the number of students in the college, the sense of accomplishment in the Luo Nian Center is beyond words.

If Luo Nianzhong evaluates the most fulfilling thing in his life, the first thing is that the motherland has become stronger and more prosperous than the same period through his own efforts, and the second thing is the establishment of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Achievements in the semiconductor industry? In this era, as long as you are willing to invest and find the right direction, semiconductor breakthroughs will not be as difficult as later generations.

The office of Chen Shubai, the president of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, can be said to be in high spirits recently.

Whether it is the reputation of the Far East Group's comprehensive partner institution or the faculty with a certain status in various fields, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has quickly emerged from the circle in just two years.

Last year, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology enrolled 3683 students, which was much more than the more than students in the first semester.

It's not that there aren't more students who want to apply, but that Chen Shubai controls the number of students.

The number of majors taught at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is not very large yet, and it will definitely increase in the future. The current number of students is already quite small.

"New enrollment will start soon, right? Are there any changes this year?"

Students will be on vacation soon, and enrollment will be the next focus of Island University of Science and Technology.

"Enrollment is very simple for us now. Through various publicity in the past two years, our Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has a certain reputation in the world, especially in Asia."

Chen Shubai's face was full of pride when he spoke. No matter what the reason, his contribution as the president of the Island University of Science and Technology in becoming a famous university in Asia cannot be underestimated.

“As for changes, it’s definitely a step closer to being a top university.

This year we have opened 9 new majors in 27 majors, including medicine and agriculture. In science and engineering, we have also added 17 new majors, including marine science, mining, etc. It can be said that our Hong Kong Island University of Science and Technology has the largest number of teaching majors. Already catching up with the top schools in the world.

In addition, I am already preparing to open a business school this year and recruit graduate students in computer and semiconductor.

I have communicated with President Welch, and Far East Group is very supportive of this. He will not only come and give speeches in person when he has time, but will also help invite experts in related majors to give lectures. Far East will also provide corresponding internship positions to increase the number of students. workplace experience.

If the results are good, the Mechanical Research Institute and the Financial Research Institute will be opened next year."

Luo Nianzhong didn't know this, and Welch didn't tell him about it.

However, Luo Nianzhong still agrees with the increase in graduate students. This is a large amount of cheap labor, which benefits both parties.

The key is that this move can cultivate talents' favorability and identification with the Far East, and its hidden value is immeasurable.

"What's the enrollment number this year?"

"Not counting the 1 to 1 graduate students, it will not exceed this standard in the future. My goal is that the ratio of undergraduates to graduate students will reach : in the future."

Luo Nianzhong nodded in approval. Although it is said that there is no distinction between teachers and students, recruiting more people is not necessarily a good thing.

"By the way, this year's admissions to the Island University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong will be very biased towards Rabbit. There is a treasure trove of talents there.

Although some theoretical knowledge and thinking are still very backward, they are easy to learn and very diligent.

In just two years, the students there have gone from being at the bottom of the class, unable to keep up with the curriculum, to being at the top of the class in test scores. Their rapid improvement has been rapid, and their hard-working learning momentum has been praised by many teachers.

So this year I sent Director Yu from the Admissions Office to go to Rabbit in person. I think they have already started their work by this time."

Director Yu from the admissions office was impressed by Luo Nianzhong.

I remember that Luo Nianzhong had approached him and his brother-in-law who contracted the canteen because of the increase in food prices in the canteen.

"Ok".

Seeing Luo Nianzhong frowning slightly and not saying much, Chen Shubai thought he had some objections.

"What's wrong, do you have any opinion on UC's enrollment in Rabbit?"

"No." Luo Nianzhong came back to his senses and knew that the other party would have misunderstood.

"I'm thinking about setting up a preparatory class at Rabbit."

"What do you mean?"

Later, it was common for international students to attend preparatory courses, but now it’s really not the case.”

"Didn't you say that Rabbit students have a hard time studying in the early stage? Then we will use the summer vacation to add a preparatory class to let them study in advance.

This preparatory class is free, not only for admitted students, but also for local students who want to take it.

This will increase our exposure and lay the foundation for attracting graduate students in the future.”

“This is a good idea, it will help these students keep up with the progress better, and it will also give them more time to improve their studies.

I will call Director Yu and ask him to discuss with the relevant departments over there and rent a venue. After I have a meeting here to study, I can send teachers there."

Chen Shubai thinks that Luo Nianzhong's idea is genius. For example, semiconductors and the like can accept the latest knowledge and theories in advance, and those unnecessary subjects can also learn languages ​​in advance.

But what Chen Shubai didn't know was that Director Yu, who chose the capital as his first stop, encountered great setbacks and was scratching his head at this time.

The Capital Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel, an international five-star hotel chain that was completed and opened at the end of last year, is not the first high-end foreign brand hotel in the capital. The first one was the Sheraton Hotel, which opened in 1983.

However, not being number one does not prevent the Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel from being more popular than the Sheraton. For a capital city where the largest number of foreigners are Southeast Asians, the Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel's influence and reputation are not as small as the Sheraton Hotel.

And because the Oriental Grand Hyatt hotels in various places are all newly built, many people think that the Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel is better than the Sheraton Hotel in terms of software and hardware facilities.

Therefore, whether you are here for tourism or business investigation and cooperation, Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel has become the first choice. Since its opening at the end of last year, the occupancy rate has been maintained at more than 70% for a long time, which is already a very high occupancy rate.

"Director Yu, this won't work. We sent out a lot of flyers, but not a single student came for consultation."

It has been two days and no student has been recruited. Those in the admissions office are lying if they say they are not in a hurry.

"What's the reason?"

"The cost issue is that the cost of studying abroad is too expensive and cannot be afforded by people here now."

It seems that these people are not messing around, at least they know what the problem is.

This enrollment is not paid for by the state. This is an additional quota, and of course you need to pay for it yourself.

"So? Does it work just to stare at the big and small here? Solve the problem?"

"Isn't there any charge?"

Director Yu almost died from anger at what one of them said.

"Stupid, re-create our admissions brochure.

List out the student loans, work-study program, daily expenses at HKUST, and their average starting salary if they stay in Hong Kong Island.

The meaning is very simple, it is to tell them that tuition is not a burden but a bright future.”

It seems that Director Yu still had a moment, grasped the key to the problem, and found a way to change the situation or publicity.

Sometimes admissions and operations are the same. The same thing depends on how to say it more attractively.

And not everyone is not interested in the admissions of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Some students who want to get ahead are interested. It is rare that there is a dispute with their families.

In this era when the per capita salary is around 100, which parent wants their children to be burdened with debts of hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars or more at the beginning of their lives?

The tuition fee at Island University of Science and Technology is neither high nor low. It is basically the same as other universities on Hong Kong Island, about HK$20,000 per year.

But these are local students. The Hong Kong government provides subsidies for local students. If they are students from non-Hong Kong Island, the tuition fee is about HK$3.8 a year, which can be said to be doubled.

Although there is no way to compare with the tuition fees in beautiful countries, there is still some distance, but for 99% of the families in the capital, it is really unimaginable and sky-high price.

Then again, not all children are obedient and obedient to their parents. There are quite a few young people in this era who are aggressive at heart.
