v3 Chapter 936： Meet MacLehose

Remember in one second【】

As time went by, and a week was fleeting, Lin Shanyuan and others finally came up with a more complete plan.

Xia Yu once again convened everyone for a meeting, and at the same time called Wang Gengwu to attend the meeting. After brainstorming, the plan was further improved, and the new departments and majors of Jiuding University were also confirmed.

After the meeting, Xia Yu ordered Huo Jianning to contact the Hong Kong government and voted a greeting. MacLehose confirmed that he would be able to set aside an afternoon to meet Xia Yu in the afternoon.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Yu raised his spirits, took Huo Jianning and his bodyguards, and drove to the Governor's Mansion.

Led by MacLehose's personal secretary, Xia Yu and others came to MacLehose's office.

Seeing Xia Yu's figure appear at the door, MacLehose, who was working on the documents, immediately smiled and stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Xia, you are welcome!"

"Mr. Governor, good afternoon!"

"good afternoon!"

After a good greeting between hello and me, MacLehose led Xia Yu and Huo Jianning to sit down. After his secretary asked them their preferences, they began to make tea.

"Mr. Governor, I have to take up more of your precious time this afternoon."

Before the tea was brewed, Xia Yu said in a joking tone.

MacLehose smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia, you are modest by saying that. You say that my time is precious. Isn't your time more precious than mine?"

"Throughout the entire Xiangjiang, you are the first person to be the guest of the President of the United States, and what you are talking about has long been more than just a small Xiangjiang."

"As the person with the strongest vision and strength in Xiangjiang International, I have always wanted to have a good chat with you."

After all, MacLehose is not an ordinary person. Although Xia Yu did not let Jiuding Newspaper Company report news related to him, the impact of the change of the US president was too great, and MacLehose would naturally get relevant news from other channels.

In Xiangjiang, Xia Yu was still able to control public opinion, but in the United States and Europe, the appearance of Xia Yu, a yellow man, also attracted the attention of some media.

However, MacLehose did not learn from the media, but from the news from the United Kingdom, reminding him that Xia Yu's international influence is already extraordinary, and he should pay more attention.

Xia Yu didn't care, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Governor, I am not a guest of the President of the United States. I just happen to have some topics in common with Reagan, such as economics and employment."

"It just so happens that I have seen a lot of things in the United States this time, and I was very touched, so I came this time to have a good chat with Mr. Governor."

"Think about it carefully. It seems that although I have visited Mr. Governor many times, I have never really sat down and talked."

MacLehose smiled and nodded, then asked, "Yes, but isn't it a good start now?"

"Yes!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded back.

Then he looked straight and said: "Mr. Governor, although I have a lot of business in the UK and the US, in the final analysis, Xiangjiang is where I was born and raised. This is my hometown. You have been in Xiangjiang for more than nine years. It’s time, we should know the Chinese's love for their hometown."

MacLehose nodded in understanding. He really understood and respected the Chinese local feelings.

Xia Yu continued: "Although Xiangjiang is my hometown, I can say bluntly that only after seeing the appearance of developed countries, I have a specific concept of Xiangjiang's backwardness and poverty. If I don't have the ability, that's all. Since I have a certain ability, then I can't let it go."

"My original intention is the same as you!"

"Mr. Governor, you have been deeply loved and supported by Hong Kong people for more than nine years in power in Hong Kong. You are the best Governor in Hong Kong's history. You have promoted drastic reforms and made Hong Kong's society profound. Under your administration, Xiangjiang has undergone earth-shaking changes in medical care, education, transportation, welfare, social security, and infrastructure."

Hearing this, MacLehose couldn't help but smile.

The same sentence will have completely different effects in different populations.

Compared with ordinary people, Xia Yu's praise of his ruling performance from a top boss is undoubtedly quite pleasant to MacLehose, and he is very comfortable to hear.

Xia Yu is not flattering and flattering, but has a point.

It is like the merits and demerits cannot be offset.

Motivation belongs to motive, action belongs to action!

It is undeniable that MacLehose’s ruling Hong Kong has elements of wrestling with the mainland and establishing a positive image of Britain in the eyes of Hong Kong people.

But he did make huge changes in Xiangjiang. Under his administration, Chinese became the official language of the land in Xiangjiang. The construction of public housing in ten years improved the living environment of at least one million citizens, and nine years of compulsory education was implemented. The Independent Commission Against Corruption was created, the subway was built, and people's livelihood was improved.

Later, Xiangjiang became the "Four Asian Dragons" because of the solid foundation he laid during his ten and a half years of tenure.

But Xia Yu didn't just come here to make MacLehose happy.

Then he changed the conversation and said: "Mr. Governor, you came to Xiangjiang in 1971, this year is 1981, and your tenure will soon expire ten years. Although there are still seven or eight months, things are basically set. , The outside world has begun to talk about the ten-year period that is about to pass and the new ten-year period that is about to begin."

"At this critical time, my heart told me that I should do more for Xiangjiang!"

"in

^0^Remember in one second【】

Legally, it is the responsibility and obligation of the Hong Kong government to build Hong Kong, but if you look at it on a larger scale, it is the unshirkable responsibility of every Hong Kong citizen. "

"I think, with my ability, I should be able to help the Hong Kong government!"

MacLehose felt that he had roughly understood the meaning of Xia Yu's words, so he nodded affirmatively without hesitation: "Mr. Xia, if you have no ability, then no one in Xiangjiang has this ability!"

"You have made an indelible contribution to Xiangjiang in education, anticipation, charity, employment, etc.!"

"On behalf of the Hong Kong government, I thank you for your dedication to Hong Kong, and sincerely hope that you can continue to contribute to Hong Kong!"

Xia Yu smiled and humbled before saying: "Since Mr. Governor approves, then I will speak straight."

"Please speak!" MacLehose stretched out his right hand and made a please gesture.

"The first thing is about Jiuding University."

With that, Xia Yu looked at Huo Jianning next to him. Huo Jianning immediately took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Xia Yu. Xia Yu handed it to MacLehose.

The latter immediately took it.

Xia Yu’s words followed: "Mr. Governor, the first phase of Jiuding University has been completed. You also participated in the groundbreaking ceremony before, and the school will start in September this year. This is about the situation and planning of Jiuding University. Check it out in a few minutes."

"Ok!"

MacLehose nodded and replied, then opened the file in his hand.

A few minutes later, McLehose said to Xia Yu in surprise: "Mr. Xia, Jiuding University plans to enroll 8,000 students this year? This number has exceeded the total enrollment of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University!"

Xia Yu immediately said: "Yes, but even so, this year most students will still be unable to receive higher education after graduating from high school. If possible, I would like to increase the number of enrollment, but unfortunately the conditions do not allow it."

"Jiuding University can enroll 8,000 students, so it will benefit at least 8,000 families!"

MacLehose first affirmed Jiuding University, and then asked: "However, Mr. Xia, running a university is not simply to recruit students, but to give students a good education. Can Jiuding University achieve this?"

Xia Yu replied: “It can be achieved. In terms of hardware, Jiuding University has received a total of more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars in social donations. In addition to the construction of the school and the purchase of various hardware facilities and experimental equipment, there are more than four in the school’s account. Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in funds, so there will never be shortcomings in hardware!"

"In terms of software, Jiuding University has recruited high-level teachers and professors from all over the world. Now it has recruited 621 teachers and professors. Moreover, President Wang is still actively recruiting teachers. I believe it will be possible before June. More than 1,200 teachers and professors have been recruited for the school, enough to maintain the teacher-student ratio under one to seven!"

MacLehose nodded suddenly, and his worries disappeared. The teacher-student ratio of one to seven is particularly good. As far as he knows, the teacher-student ratio of Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University is between one to eight and one to nine!

Hardware can be made with money. Jiuding University’s financial resources are many times stronger than Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University. The hardware is definitely no problem.

The software and hardware are better, and it makes no sense that students at Jiuding University cannot receive a good education.

In that case, what is Xia Yu worried about?

Although there was a faint guess in his heart, MacLehose still asked: "Mr. Xia, what are your concerns?"

Xia Yu said immediately: "The school area is too small!"

"Now Jiuding University covers an area of ​​60 hectares, and the teaching buildings and dormitories built are enough to accommodate 20,000 teachers and students But this year, Jiuding University will enroll 8,000 students, plus more than 1,200 teachers. , There are some administrative and basic school personnel, then after the start of this year, Jiuding University will have about 10,000 people."

"If we don't expand now and wait until next year to enroll students, Jiuding University will be full, and it will not be able to enroll students until the next year."

"So the area of ​​Jiuding University needs to be doubled at least, otherwise there will be problems after two years!"

"I hope that Mr. Governor can allocate part of the land around Jiuding University to Jiuding University for school construction!"

MacLehose frowned slightly, always feeling something was wrong, and he thought to himself.

Without urging, Xia Yu picked up the tea cup and drank slowly.

After a while, McLehose looked at Xia Yu abruptly and asked: "Mr. Xia, I remember that when the school was awarded to Jiuding University for the establishment of the school, the area was communicated with you. Why is this happening now?"

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
