Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 113 Massive procurement of the first batch of teaching experiment equipment_1

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Massive procurement of the first batch of teaching experiment equipment_1

Once the Spring Festival was over,

the days seemed to fly by rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already February 26th, the Lantern Festival, which falls on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. In just two days, on the 1st of March, Mist City Arts and Science University would begin its new semester.

All universities across the country also resumed classes from after the Lantern Festival until the beginning of March.

As for University Town in Mist City,

it was also beginning to become lively with the return of the students.

On the 27th of February,

after the Lantern Festival, the faculties of the Mist City Arts and Science University also started returning to their posts.

It goes without saying for Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, who had arrived at the Mist City Arts and Science University on the eighth day of the lunar year to await their assignments from Principal Ding.

Huang Youjie was in charge of logistics, and needed to start coordinating various departments such as accommodation management and procurement before the start of the semester.

Logistics not only had to procure supplies for the dormitory apartment buildings but also for the supermarkets and cafeterias.

The most important aspect was the procurement for the robot experiment project. Only after Tong Yihang and his team from the Mechanical department had their materials and equipment, could they start building Big White’s robot body.

Moreover, the medical teaching equipment for the School of Medicine was procured on February 28th, and new medical teaching equipment was installed in the various major teaching laboratories in the medical teaching area.

On the 1st of March,

all the more than 9,000 students of Mist City Arts and Science University safely returned to the university, officially beginning their new semester of university life.

"Principal Ding, your milk tea."

Principal’s Office.

Like always, the first thing Wen Ruohan did every day was to bring a warm cup of bubble milk tea for Principal Ding.

She had returned to the Mist City Arts and Science University one week in advance.

While drinking his milk tea, Ding Yue was also dealing with some matters that had come up after the start of the term, mainly the materials and documents submitted by subordinate departments and colleges that needed Ding Yue’s inspection and signature.

For instance, the School of Medicine had applied for the second batch of medical teaching equipment.

Since the School of Medicine had already started procuring teaching equipment, then the other colleges also needed to purchase teaching equipment for future practical training and experiments.

This was a major expense.

Ding!

"Congratulations to the Host for completing [Start of the 2021 Academic Year], Reward: 100 reputation points, 20 million yuan for education funds."

Suddenly,

a system prompt rang in Ding Yue’s mind.

There was funding for the start of the term, this was somewhat exciting, as well as 100 reputation points.

Just this one-off of 20 million yuan in education funds was enough for Ding Yue to accomplish quite a lot.

The truth is, the start of the second term of each academic year was when there was the least to worry about, unlike each September intake, when it was necessary to take charge of the registration of new students, and the workload would skyrocket instantly.

Speaking of September,

after this semester ends, Mist City Arts and Science University would be welcoming the second batch of new students after the summer vacation.

By then, Mist City Arts and Science University will have both sophomores and freshmen.

Therefore,

Ding Yue’s objective for this semester was clear, that was to make more College Entrance Exam students pay attention to Mist City Arts and Science University.

Once the school expands, it will be completely capable of accommodating more students.

With Mist City Arts and Science University’s current reputation, Ding Yue believes that come September, there will be more students coming to Mist City Arts and Science University to start their university life.

"Principal Ding, after the various colleges saw that we approved the medical teaching equipment list for the Medical School, they all swarmed towards me to submit their own lists of teaching and experimentation equipment."

Huang Youjie’s voice drifted out from the doorway of the Principal’s Office.

He could be seen approaching Ding Yue, carrying a batch of procurement lists as he said, "Take a look."

"Purchasing teaching and experiment equipment is a given, or else would our school still operate or not?" Ding Yue rolled his eyes.

That is to say, currently, they are just freshmen.

After a few years, students will certainly need to do practical training in their respective majors, which will require teaching equipment matching their professions.

Ding Yue glanced at the list handed over by Huang Youjie.

On the list were all sorts of equipment: multi-functional electronics testing platforms, intelligent motor internal resistance devices, numerical control training machines, digital circuit logic experiment boxes, aircraft flight control systems, digital circuit experimenters, industrial network switches, programmable controllers, long focal length zoom video microscopes, ion chromatographs, architectural teaching models, laser rangefinders...

A ton of teaching, training, and experimental equipment touching on mechanical and electrical engineering, photoelectric information, electronic automation, chemical engineering and environmental science, architectural and civil engineering, and so on.

Ding Yue almost felt dizzy looking at it.

Besides these science and engineering teaching experiment devices, social sciences and arts majors also need appropriate teaching and training equipment.

For example, journalism and media broadcasting majors need broadcasting classrooms and related equipment.

Even newly established majors, such as the catering and gourmet food department and the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies, also need to purchase some teaching equipment.

"The sum of all these, just the first batch of equipment requested by all departments, comes to about 130 million yuan in funds."

Looking at the total cost of the teaching equipment, Ding Yue couldn’t help but feel immense pressure.

This is just for purchasing basic university teaching and experimental equipment. If one wants to further development and establish advanced key laboratories, the equipment needed would burn even more money.

It should be noted that a key professional laboratory might be worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

It seems that Ding Yue needs even more money to create a private university with solid teaching fundamentals.

"System, are there any tasks with more school funding rewards?"

Ding Yue immediately asked the system.

The system’s response was that after completing the annual qualified enrollment, a large amount of school funds would be rewarded.

That is to say, if we complete the enrollment of freshmen every year, according to the reward criteria after the completion of enrollment last year, that is 100 million yuan.

But one hundred million yuan for the construction and development of a university is really too little.

Aside from that.

There would also be school funding rewards after Mist City Arts and Science University wins certain honors.

"Is the most abundant school funding reward when the level of Mist City Arts and Science University is promoted?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The thought of the ten billion yuan reward after Mist City Arts and Science University was upgraded to the "minor achievements" level suddenly came to Ding Yue’s mind.

This money gave Ding Yue the confidence to expand the campus, as well as purchase a large number of teaching and experimental equipment and various teaching expenditures.

But in the future, places where Mist City Arts and Science University will burn money will definitely become more and more.

Ding!

"As the school’s level increases, the proportion of school funding rewards will decrease, and the proportion of other rewards will increase. If the host needs school funding, it can be solved according to the actual situation of the school and the Feiyue Group behind it."

"I see."

After hearing the system’s response, Ding Yue started to ponder.

The system probably means, in the future, as the level of Mist City Arts and Science University increases, the proportion of school fund rewards would be reduced, even to the point where no school funding rewards are given.

Ding Yue admitted that he could understand this.

The system also gave Ding Yue a solution, which is actually the same as Ding Yue’s original idea when he created the Feiyue Group.

That is to use the connection between Feiyue Group and Mist City Arts and Science University, with Mist City Arts and Science University providing technology and talent to Feiyue Group to make profits, and then input more school funds into Mist City Arts and Science University.

If such an internal cycle can be accomplished, Ding Yue wouldn’t have to worry about money at all.

But the problem is.

How can Feiyue Group make money by leveraging the advantages of Mist City Arts and Science University?

The first thing that came to Ding Yue’s mind was his Big White robot experiment project.

If this project can be completed, a home personal health assistant robot product can be launched on the market.

"Yue, do we need to continue recruiting faculty members for this semester?"

Just as Ding Yue was pondering money matters, Bin’s voice came through.
