Chapter 1374 Domestic and Foreign

Xiaojun and Xiaodang still have the impression of Du Fei as a neighbor of the courtyard.

Xiaojun has a deeper impression. Although he was young at the time, he was quite precocious.

In the memory of the night when his sister was sick and confused, the appearance of Du Fei and Zhu Ting changed the fate of him and his sister.

Later he learned that the man lived in the backyard and was a cadre of the street office.

Even though they didn't have much contact, he always remembered this benefactor. Until Du Fei got married and moved out of the courtyard, he almost had no chance to meet.

Later, the uncle was transferred to the 8270 factory and became the deputy director...

In comparison, Xiaodang's deepest impression of Du Fei was the scene of Du Fei educating her brother.

Her elder brother, who was more stubborn than a cow, didn't obey anyone except Du Fei.

In the past two years, they went to school separately and separated. They were still different. The original Bangganer always called "Uncle Du, Uncle Du" when no one was around, as if Du Fei farted on the ground, he would pick it up and smell it, and he would say it was fragrant.

Just as Xiaojun and Xiaodang were talking about Du Fei, Du Fei and his group had already entered the technical school.

This was Du Fei's first time here. The place was similar to schools of this era. The classrooms and dormitories were a series of peaked bungalows. There was no heating in winter, and they were still burning stoves.

There was a stream of gray coal smoke coming out of the roof of the house. The air was slightly pungent, mixed with the unique cold smell of winter, but it was not unpleasant.

After entering the door, there was a playground not far away, and a class was having a physical education class.

What surprised Du Fei a little was that they were just having a physical education class, but what was the meaning of everyone carrying guns?

They were all 56 semi-automatic rifles. Although they were quite far away, Du Fei had good eyesight and could see that the guns were well maintained and not just for show.

The ground of the playground was even less likely to be plastic. It was leveled with gray furnace ash residue and then compacted.

Du Fei had seen this kind of playground when he was very young before he traveled through time, but he never quite understood why furnace ash residue was used.

This thing is not only dirty, but also has many edges and corners. If you don't fall, it's okay. If you fall, it's just a small matter of your clothes being torn, but if you're not careful, you'll get injured.

Du Fei walked around the campus and even looked through the window to see what was going on inside the classroom.

Before he finished halfway, he had already made up his mind that there was no need to keep any reservations about the school here.

Whether it was the size of the venue or the various hardware facilities, this was just an ordinary factory technical school, which did not bring any unexpected surprises to Du Fei.

The only thing he was satisfied with was that the teaching order in the school was good. In the classroom, the teachers were teaching and the students were listening, and everything was very orderly, without any moths.

After a round, Principal Zhao said hurriedly: "Leader, it is an honor for our school to have you here to guide our work. Please go to the conference room and say a few words to our school's faculty and staff."

Du Fei waved his hand and said: "Just say a few words, there will be a chance in the future."

Principal Zhao was a little disappointed, but unwilling to give up, and hurriedly said: "Look, it's almost noon, why don't you eat in the school cafeteria today? Also, learn about the food situation of our students."

Du Fei smiled. This Principal Zhao, who was big and strong, was also very talkative. Not only did he stay for dinner, but he also learned about the students' meals.

If he really stayed, could the food prepared for Du Fei be the same as that for the students?

Du Fei didn't want to eat here, and said again: "Forget about eating, there are other things today, but Principal Zhao, our company will have a big move in the near future, which will involve the school, you have to be mentally prepared."

Principal Zhao was stunned, blinked, and looked at the deputy factory director in charge of logistics. He felt a little uneasy, not knowing whether it was good or bad.

Du Fei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's a good thing. I plan to expand the scale of our school and strive to upgrade it to a university."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. Du Fei had not revealed this idea before he came, and Director Yang was caught off guard.

Principal Zhao was a little confused until he saw Du Fei leaving, then he came to his senses and hurriedly sent him out.

Back in the car again, Director Yang, who was in the same car with Du Fei, couldn't help asking: "Leader, you just said... to upgrade our factory's technical school to a university, this..."

Although every word was heard clearly, Director Yang still found it a little unbelievable, after all, this was not a trivial matter.

There is no problem in running a technical school in the factory, but to run a university properly, it needs to be approved by the higher authorities layer by layer.

Then there is the teaching staff. For fire equipment companies, money is not a problem at all. Even the account of Factory 8270 alone has tens of millions of deposits.

The real problem is the teachers. If you want to support a university with the existing teachers, it is simply a fantasy.

Especially for a newly opened school, at least one top domestic or even internationally renowned expert must lead it, plus a group of experts in the industry, to be able to support this stall, and after more than ten years of development, it can be recognized.

However, Du Fei nodded lightly: "Yes, I want to run a university, focusing on science and engineering, especially engineering, and training the engineering and technical personnel we need in a targeted manner. I have thought of the name, it is called Fire Science and Technology University, and the initial investment is 100 million yuan..."

When Director Yang heard this, he couldn't help but look stunned, and he didn't hear what Du Fei said later.

To say that 100 million yuan is not a lot of money for the entire 8270 factory, but it is still a bit exaggerated to use this money to run a school.

How much money do the top universities in China, such as Yanda and Shuimu, have now? Du Fei just gave up 100 million.

Du Fei continued to say something shocking, "This is the initial funds. The funds invested in scientific research and technological improvement every year will not be less than 50 million."

If calculated according to wages, 30 yuan at this time is roughly equivalent to 6,000 in the future. 50 million a year is more than 10 billion yuan of scientific research investment.

This amount of scientific research funds may not be ranked at the top in the world, but it is definitely the best in China at this time.

If it can be done, even if the money is thrown, a first-class university can be built.

It was already afternoon when I came back from Factory 8270.

Du Fei had a working lunch with Director Yang and several others at noon. There were four dishes and one soup, which was quite simple.

After finishing the work, he returned to the unit, but did not return to the office. Instead, he turned a corner and went into Shen Jianing's room.

"Sister Jianing~" Du Fei called.

Shen Jianing was looking down at the information. Although the construction company stopped working in winter, the planning for next year, the project arrangement in the spring, and so on, all needed Shen Jianing's approval.

Residential buildings are different from other buildings. They are for ordinary people to live in, and they will live there for decades or even hundreds of years. There must be no mistakes.

At this time, there is no other idea about the house. At least for Shen Jianing, the house must be built to last for ten thousand years. One house can be passed down for three generations. The people are gone, but the house is still there.

As for the idea of ​​getting a new house after ten or twenty years, that doesn't exist.

"You scared me. What are you doing? You are in a hurry." Shen Jianing raised his head.

Du Fei smiled and sat down opposite Shen Jianing's desk: "Sister, I want to discuss something with you."

Shen Jianing knew that he was not holding back when he looked at him like this, and pouted: "Just tell me if you have something to say, don't give me those nonsense."

Du Fei leaned forward, put his hands on the desk, and said calmly: "Sister, I want to take the land next to Shuimu and Yanda, and plan a new campus."

Shen Jianing frowned, not understanding what Du Fei meant: "What new campus?"

Du Fei then explained in detail that the technical school would be upgraded to Fire Science and Technology University, and the campus would be located next to Yanda and Shuimu.

Shen Jianing thought Du Fei was joking at first, but he didn't look like that, so she asked, "Are you serious?"

Du Fei said, "Of course it's true. This is our university, which is dedicated to training the talents we need. In the future, the number of students will exceed 40,000, and there will be more than 10,000 graduates each year. We can choose the best. In the early stage, I plan to invest 100 million yuan and build it next to Shuimu and Yanda. The area of ​​the new campus will be larger than the two combined! So, sister, you must help me get the land no matter what."

Shen Jianing was not surprised to hear 100 million yuan, but she also understood that Du Fei was not joking.

He couldn't help but frown and said, "It's not easy to run a university. Land and school buildings are not difficult, but the problem is where will the teachers come from? You can't just move the technical school of Factory 8270 to the side of Yanda University, hang a sign, and it will become a university~"

Du Fei had already made plans, and lowered his voice and said, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity~ I have thought about all you said. Just let someone invite experts and professors in science and engineering in Beijing, and then those with special identities can be brought back from other places, first use the identity of school workers, and the salary and benefits are all normal, and they will be paid in accordance with professors and associate professors..."

Shen Jianing listened to him talking and talking, and he really thought it over.

And what Du Fei said was right. If it were any other time, it would really be difficult to run this university.

After all, talents are rare, and one carrot has one job. It's not easy to get so many experts and professors.

The experts and professors of this era are not the kind of people who will have a bad reputation in the future. At this time, any one who is picked out has first-class ability and integrity.

Moreover, Du Fei also considered the reality, so he would not give the title first, but compensate them in terms of salary.

First, 30 staff residences were planned in the new campus, with three units and five floors in one building, for a total of 30 households.

Excluding the common area, each household has three bedrooms and one living room, and the living area is more than 100 square meters.

30 buildings can solve the housing problem of 1,000 staff members. Apart from other things, this alone is attractive enough.

Now many university teachers in Beijing are crowded in messy tube buildings, with several households sharing one bathroom and cooking in the corridor.

Not to mention those who have been transferred to other places for various reasons.

Then there are those well-known experts. If they really can't be poached, they can also teach part-time. Anyway, we have money and pay them according to the class hours.

Shen Jianing leaned back a little to prevent Du Fei's spit from splashing on her face.

Remind: "This is not good~ We are poaching people like this, what do other brother units think?"

Du Fei curled his lips: "No matter what they think, the hatred between peers is naked."

Shen Jianing was stunned, laughed, and said angrily: "It's all perverse logic, don't dare to say such nonsense outside."

Du Fei chuckled and continued: "Actually, there is nothing wrong. The knowledge of these comrades is the precious wealth of the Guo family. It is our duty to let them play a greater role. Only teaching in one place, how can we play all the value."

Shen Jianing was speechless and could only say that you are right.

Du Fei took the opportunity to hand over all the planning and construction of the new campus to her.

The first is the issue of land. Just now, Du Fei was very happy and directly waved his hand. It will be larger than Shuimu and Yanda combined, but whether the land can be approved is not up to him.

Only then did Shen Jianing realize what she was doing, and she said a lot of things like "Come to me, come over here." She was asked to do all the hard and tiring work.

"What are you thinking~" Shen Jianing said angrily: "I am the one who runs the planning bureau when you say you want land. It is bigger than everyone else combined."

Du Fei said without hesitation: "Hey, isn't it because of you~"

Shen Jianing rolled his eyes and couldn't even see the black eyes. He really had no way to deal with him, so he finally had to agree: "I will go back tonight and ask my godmother if it can be done. I don't dare to guarantee it for you."

When Du Fei heard this, he knew that this matter was close to the truth. If it was true, Shen Jianing would not alarm Director Jiang.

After Du Fei left with satisfaction, Shen Jianing said "Oh" and thought about what to say when he went back tonight.

Regardless of how happily she agreed just now, in fact, this matter is not simple at all.

…

At night, it was getting dark outside before five o'clock.

Shen Jianing first called her sister and told her that she would go back to Director Jiang's place that evening and there was no need to leave any food for her.

Shen Jiaxing didn't ask any more questions and just answered on the phone.

Shen Jianing asked the driver to give her a ride at work.

When they got to the place, cars outside were not allowed to enter. Shen Jianing got out of the car and walked in. She called "Mom" when she entered.

Through the phone call in advance, Director Jiang knew that she was coming and was making dumplings in the room. He smiled and said: "Hurry up and make dumplings with mom."

Shen Jianing responded, quickly took off his coat, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and said with a smile: "Mom, what kind of stuffing is this?"

"Celery and pork, your favorite food." Director Jiang said as he made a dumpling and placed it on the curtain.

Shen Jianing said "Thank you, Mom" ​​and stretched out her hand to wrap it up.

Director Jiang asked: "It's not the right time for me to come back suddenly. What's the matter?"

Shen Jianing didn't mince words, and directly told Du Fei about setting up a university, and finally said: "I can't help it, I can only be forced to come to you by him."

Director Jiang smiled and said: "He has long-term plans and actually wants to build a university!"

Shen Jianing said: "Mom, do you think this can be done? Why do I always feel a little weak?"

Director Jiang slowed down his hand movements and muttered: "It's hard to say whether it will work or not, but... if you spend so much money, there will always be some movement. Speaking of which, he is really capable. After going out for a spin, he can do it. Bring back hundreds of millions of dollars.”

Mentioning this, Shen Jianing also became interested and talked about it in a small talk: "Earlier, I also felt that his things were exaggerated, but since I joined his company, it's really... nothing else. He said, let’s go over to the construction company he dumped on me. There are so many units in the first, second, and third buildings, and there are quite a few buildings built. Which one of them has come up with new tricks..."

Shen Jianing said blatantly, but did not notice that Director Jiang's eyes became meaningful, and suddenly interrupted: "Jianing, I have never heard you praise a man so much in my whole life."

Shen Jianing stopped abruptly, her cheeks turned red, and she said angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about? People have families, I... how can I have any other ideas?"

Mentioning this issue, Director Jiang sighed, pinched another dumpling, lowered his head and said, "Jianing, I have suffered so much for you and your sister over the years. I was negligent and did not find a good match for you earlier. Until now..."

Shen Jianing felt unnatural for a moment, but immediately covered it up and pouted: "Mom, what are you talking about~ I will stay with you forever."

Director Jiang smiled and said, "I've already buried half of your silly words. You are still young and your days are still long. Why do you stay with me?"

Shen Jianing lowered her head and made dumplings without saying anything.

Director Jiang asked again: "Tell me the truth, do you really like Du Fei?"

Shen Jianing stamped her foot: "Mom, you still said that I was really angry! I already said that Du Fei has a family, are you letting me make a mistake?"

Director Jiang curled his lips and said: "You don't know what kind of character that boy is. The little widow in the steel rolling mill is probably more than that. Besides, since ancient times, heroes have been paired with beauties. If you really want to, your godmother will make the decision for you."

Shen Jianing's heart trembled and she panicked, and she quickly said: "Mom, I really don't have one. Besides... I'm no longer old, and I don't want to get married in this life. I treat him like a younger brother. I really have no other thoughts. "

Seeing her firmness, Director Jiang said helplessly: "Forget it, let it be up to you. Men and women are like drinking water and knowing whether it is hot or cold. You know what you are thinking. Mom also came from your age. If you really don’t mean it, why are you worried? Are you afraid that if you break the window paper, you may not be able to maintain the current relationship? "

When Shen Jianing was told what was on her mind, she lowered her head and said nothing in a low voice for a while: "Mom, it's fine now, really!"

Director Jiang sighed again: "As long as you don't regret it in the future, we women can only be beautiful in these few years, so don't let yourself go."

"Hmm~" Shen Jianing responded like a mosquito.

…

The next day, Du Fei came to the unit early in the morning.

It snowed again last night. Although it wasn't heavy, the ground was extremely slippery. I saw several bicycles slipping along the way.

Just in time for work, there were so many people, it was really a big crowd.

Fortunately, people's skin was strong at this time and they wore a lot of clothes in winter, so no one was injured.

Du Fei walked into the unit and happened to meet Shen Jianing who had just arrived. For some reason, he looked at him strangely. He hurriedly said hello and entered the room.

Du Fei didn't think much about it. Now his mind was full of the issue of going from technical school to university.

It is not an easy task to turn a factory-run technical school into a university. The most important thing is "people".

Just like the "Southwest Associated University" in the past, it went all the way from Beijing to Changsha, and then from Changsha to Yunnan Province. It was displaced, but it did not disperse. As long as people were there, the school would be there.

In contrast, the former Northeast Jiaotong University was also glorious at the time, but the people were killed by the Japanese devils, some died, some scattered. Even if the school building was still there, the school was gone.

Du Fei thought about it all night, and finally had to start from the Northeast.

He picked up the phone and dialed it. After transferring once, he finally got through: "Hello, Brother Zhao, I'm Du Fei..."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yutian didn't expect Du Fei to call him.

Since he found the artillery expert Tan Zhigao in the Great Northern Wilderness through Zhao Yutian last time, Du Fei has not contacted there much.

It's not that Du Fei uses people forward and doesn't use people backward, but it's mainly because he is too busy. With the change of identity, it is impossible to maintain the original social relationship.

For example, Wang Dacheng and Niu Wentao, who had a good relationship with Du Fei before, have rarely contacted each other now, and even Chu Cheng is almost the same.

They are at different levels, and it would be awkward to force them to get together.

This is also why they vowed to keep in touch when they graduated from high school, but gradually stopped after entering college.

Different living environments and different life opportunities make it difficult to find common ground.

Zhao Yutian was a little surprised. Du Fei took the initiative to call him, so he must have something to do, not to chat with him.

Now, being able to help Du Fei is a rare opportunity for him and even the entire Zhao family. This is a very precious personal relationship.

Du Fei didn't hesitate. After a brief greeting, he asked directly: "Brother Zhao, the people you put down on the farm... yes, no liberal arts majors, only science and engineering majors..."

Zhao Yutian understood Du Fei's request and said curiously: "I say, what do you want these people for? You know the situation of Gada better than me, and you dare not touch it easily."

Du Fei heard Zhao Yutian's good intentions and smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, thank you, I know the limit..." Then he told him about the idea of ​​turning the factory-run technical school into a university, and emphasized again that only science and engineering majors are needed.

Zhao Yutian breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just science and engineering, it wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, with Du Fei's ability, he wouldn't fall into such a trap. He simply patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this. How many people do you want?"

Du Fei knew that it would be right to find Zhao Yutian first. With the Zhao family's connections in Heilongjiang Province, the matter would definitely be done properly: "As long as they meet the requirements, as many as possible."

Zhao Yutian was taking a sip of water when he heard this and almost spit it out: "I say, brother, this will take hundreds of people! If you bring your family, there will be thousands. Can you take it all?"

Du Fei said confidently: "Don't worry about this. I plan to build 30 teaching and staff buildings on the new campus first, with the standard of three bedrooms and one living room. As long as you come, you will be given a room. In addition, the salary and benefits will be increased by one level based on their original titles."

Zhao Yutian blurted out "Fuck"

He still hasn't even gotten a three-bedroom apartment yet~

This era is far from the later generations. Even people with a background like Zhao Yutian have to obtain resources within the rules. Chu Cheng and others, who only rely on the company to allocate housing, also have two bedrooms and a living room, which is just over 60 square meters.

And Du Fei, the company also allocated a two-bedroom apartment.

This condition is much better than that of ordinary people, but it does not widen the gap.

There is no huge gap between "some people live in mansions of thousands of square meters, while some people have no place to live".

So, Zhao Yutian reacted so much when he heard that Du Fei directly allocated a three-bedroom apartment.

Du Fei was determined to spend a lot of money to build this "Fire Science and Technology University".

By the way, let the people in Beijing and even the country see that as long as they have real skills, no matter how old they are, what their background and qualifications are, they will be given housing first.

Not only that, Du Fei's eyes are not fixed on the country.

After talking to Zhao Yutian on the phone, Du Fei made another call.

About forty minutes later, a black car stopped in front of the fire equipment company.

McKekin pushed the door open and got out of the car, glancing at the black plaque on the white background beside the door.

Since becoming the person in charge of the cooperation project between the two countries, he has only been back to America for more than ten days.

The shadow of Du Fei could not help but emerge in his mind. This young fruit and vegetable man completely changed his fate.

He walked up the steps and soon came to Du Fei's office.

Du Fei was waiting, smiling and hugging McKekin: "Mike, judging from your complexion, you are living quite well here with us~"

McKekin said: "Thank you for your good words. To be honest, the fruit and vegetable dishes are so delicious. I really don't know what to do when I return to America in the future."

This is not a compliment, as evidenced by his weight. McKekin's cheeks are much rounder than before.

Du Fei said: "This is easy to handle, so just stay forever~"

McKekin was stunned and instantly thought of some bad things, such as Du Fei using his handle to put him under house arrest or threaten him.

Du Fei patted his shoulder a little harder and said with a smile: "Just kidding, I don't have a big house like you have in America."

McKinney laughed dryly and started to talk about business: "Du, I wonder what you want from me?"

The two sat on the sofa. Du Fei asked Secretary Zhang to pour two cups of tea. He asked without beating around the bush: "Mike, I am going to set up a university. Can you help me introduce a few professors from abroad?"

McKin frowned and said in embarrassment: "This... I am afraid it is not easy to do. It's not that I don't want to help, it's really... you know, our publicity for you."

Du Fei certainly understood that even if he was getting closer to America and the two sides had a so-called honeymoon period, America's public opinion had not changed much.

Some things have huge inertia and are not so easy to change.

This is why it is necessary to correct the wrongs.

Du Fei was not in a hurry. After he finished speaking, he said calmly: "Mike, of course I know, but the top experts in all walks of life cannot be in America... Ten thousand US dollars for each person, how about it?"

McKin's eyes lit up.

Du Fei emphasized: "It must be a top scholar in the industry. I will not recognize those who are just filling in the numbers."

McKin pursed his lips: "I can guarantee this. Besides, I dare not lie to you~"

This is true. MacKin has long known the fate of the King of Siam, and of course he knows that Du Fei is not easy to mess with.

He can kill a king, and he really wants to kill him like a game.

McKin said again: "But I am only responsible for matchmaking. Whether the final deal can be reached depends on the conditions you can offer."

Du Fei stretched out his hand: "It's a deal!"
