Wu Changxin is right. Jinyi's place is too small. If you want to increase the building area, you can only build the building very high. But building too many high-rise buildings in the school is not a good thing, not to mention the greening requirements.
Yu Dong thought for a while and asked, "How can I help you?"
The implication is to ask Wu Changxin if he needs financial support.
For Wu Changxin and others, building a new campus may be a difficult task, but for Dong, this is not a problem.
Wu Changxin also knew what Yu Dong meant, but he still shook his head, "You have already given a lot of support to the school. If it weren't for your support in all aspects, our school would be no different from what it was ten years ago. Sometimes, I
I was walking around the school and looking at the buildings in the school now. I was also trying to remember which buildings were there ten years ago. After thinking about them for a long time, I could only think of a few buildings. Our school has a poor foundation in terms of building facilities. If we try a little harder,
Hard work can make a big difference.”
"Principal, you are joking. The changes in the school over the years are mainly due to you, the locomotive, and everyone worked together to create everything now." Yu Dong said modestly.
"You are just too modest." Wu Changxin smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to worry about funding. Our school's funding has been quite good in the past few years. Liu Changmin and his studios can still pay some money to the school every year.
I came to see you mainly because the city government sent people here to ask if we want to build a new campus in Qixia District."
"Qixia District?"
"Well, Xianlin, the area east of Purple Mountain, I heard that it was going to be planned a few years ago, but there has been no movement. Just two days ago, the city government sent people to talk to me about this matter. According to their opinions, there have been some
The school has decided to build new campuses there, including Jinling University and Jinling Normal University. I heard that the government is planning to vigorously develop the area and wants to develop it into a nationally famous open university town."
University town is a new and hot word in China. Just last year, China's first university town, Oriental University Town, was officially put into construction.
For China, university towns are a new thing. In the eyes of most Chinese people, a university is a university and a city is a city. How can a university become a city?
Someone has made a vulgar explanation for college students. If there are shops on both sides of a street, it is called food stalls. If there are universities on both sides, it is called college students.
The concept of university towns has long existed in the West, and the more famous ones are university towns such as Oxford and Cambridge.
Of course, Oxford and Cambridge are mainly formed naturally and formed slowly over a long period of history.
There are also some university towns that are actively built, such as Charlottesville, State College, and the neon Tsukuba University Town in the United States. These university towns are all led by national and local governments or well-known companies.
Yu Dong is naturally no stranger to Xianlin University Town. It would be a good thing if Jinyi can really become the first batch of schools to enter Xianlin University Town.
Compared with other schools, Jinyi actually needs a university town more. Their school buildings are too tight. It would be expensive to build on the original basis. Moreover, the school is engaged in construction every day, which also greatly affects the students' learning.
Although the school's construction work will be carried out during holidays as much as possible, there is still construction during the school day. Students from other colleges are not very dissatisfied. The most dissatisfied is the Conservatory of Music.
If there is too much noise outside during classes at the Conservatory of Music, the experience will be very poor.
Yu Dong nodded and said, "This is a good thing. Since the government is willing to do this and we are short of school buildings, it's a win-win situation."
"But there are two problems. Firstly, Xianlin is a bit remote and the transportation is not convenient. If you want to improve transportation, it will not be completed in three or two years. Have you visited that area? It is all farmland.
.In addition, the area they are willing to give is a bit small, and they are only willing to plan a thousand acres for us."
Yu Dong asked strangely, "Xianlin University Town is planned directly, shouldn't it be a matter of listing the land for sale?"
"Putting up land for sale?" Wu Changxin was stunned. He had never heard of this.
People from the government only told him that if their school moved in, they would plan a 1,000-acre campus for their school. The price per acre was 50,000 yuan. After calculation, it would cost about 50 million yuan to settle in Jinyi in the initial stage.
The price is not high, and Jinyi is certainly acceptable.
In fact, Yu Dong remembered this incorrectly. He used to always see land for sale in Xianlin University Town when reading the news, and thought that all the land in the University Town was for sale.
The one thousand acres of land left for Jinyi in the university town is indeed a bit small. Jinyi has developed too fast in recent years and has a lot more students.
Moreover, many majors have been added in the past two years, and these majors are only for junior students now. When there are senior students later, the pressure will be even greater. One thousand acres is definitely not enough.
"Then how many acres do you want?" Yu Dong asked.
Wu Changxin gestured, "It will take at least 1,500 acres. Now, one thousand acres is enough for our school, but in two years, our school will have many more students than now. One thousand acres will be enough for our school."
It’s crowded. The university town is still being planned. When it is completed, it will be three years at least. In three years, the number of students in our school plus faculty and staff may be more than a thousand. I roughly calculated, it’s a thousand
Five hundred acres should be able to be used."
"Then your demands are too different, and they will definitely not agree."
Wu Changxin twitched his lips, "More than just disagreeing, they just clung to the figure of one thousand acres and were not willing to go up at all. I told them, how could anyone do this kind of business? Guess what they did with me?
Said?"
Having said this, Lao Wu subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it, but suddenly realized that he was not in his office, so he held the cigarette in his hand without lighting it, "They told me that this is a college student, engaged in education, not
Business people. I don’t agree with this. Now that we have established a university town, we must have a business mindset. Don’t always think about innovation, but the thinking is still stuck in the past.”
Yu Dong smiled and said, "That's right. Didn't you tell them about this?"
"I told you, it's useless. Everyone who comes is just stupid and doesn't make sense."
"If someone insists on holding on to a thousand acres, will you still go?"
Wu Changxin shook his head and said firmly, "That's nonsense. We can't do anything for a living. One thousand acres is enough for us to use for a few years. Don't move there without even drying the paint and think about finding another place."
Hearing what he said was interesting, Yu Dong smiled and asked, "Then you came to me because you want me to help you talk things over?"
Wu Changxin said with a smile, "I have this idea. Even though they are building a university town that is very lively, you still have the final say on how the university town will be in the future."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Principal, where do you start with this? Our deep space park is not close to Xianlin. How can we affect their university town?"
"It doesn't matter how far it is, because students from the university town will go to Hexi to work in the future. If Hexi is not a small place, I think it would be better to put the university town in Hexi. After graduation, students can walk to their workplaces.
seamless connection."
Yu Dong curled his lips, Lao Wu was usually quite serious, why did he keep telling jokes today?
It would be a waste if the government built a university town in Hexi. Land prices in Hexi are extremely expensive now, so there is no need for the blessing of a university town.
The reason why the university town is placed in Xianlin is not because it is relatively remote and has a lot of land. Building a university town there will require a lot of initial investment, but once the area becomes lively, the land can be sold.
"Did they say when it will be decided?" Yu Dong asked.
Wu Changxin shook his head: "I didn't say that."
Yu Dong pondered for a while, "Well, let me go and ask for you. However, if you really want 1,500 acres, you will have to invest at least 75 million. Is it okay for our school?"
Wu Changxin made an OK gesture: "There is no problem at all. The money will not be handed over to them in one day. It is easy to solve. Let alone 1,500 acres, even if it is doubled to 3,000 acres, there is no problem at all.
"
Yu Dong nodded, "Well, then I understand."
…
After Wu Changxin left, Yu Dong called Yu Liang and briefly explained the matter to him.
After hearing what Yu Dong said, Yu Liang smiled and said it was up to him to handle the matter.
Yiliang's work efficiency was very high, that is to say, in the afternoon, the leader in charge of this area in the city personally called Yu Dong.
When he received the call, Yu Dong thought that the other party would say a few words, turn around, and then discuss it with him.
But what he didn't expect was that after the call was connected, the other party asked Yu Dong a question directly.
"Teacher Yu, are you sure that your school can avoid wasting these three thousand acres of land?"
"The average area per student is less than 100 square meters. Even if there is no waste, if it is 3,000 acres, it will be about 20,000 students."
"In other words, as long as the school has more than 20,000 people, it is not a waste?"
"Um."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "That's no problem, just give us another fifteen years."
"Fifteen years...Okay, in that case, I will arrange it."
Fifteen years may sound like a long time, but for a school, it is nothing. If a university town cannot even plan for fifteen years, then its vision is too short-sighted.
As for whether it is wasteful or not, it is actually just an excuse. When the government plans, the standards for each school are different, and it is impossible to calculate based on the average area occupied by students.
Take Jinling University as an example. This time the government has planned more than 3,000 acres for them, and has left room for expansion. If it expands again in the future, it can be expanded to up to 5,000 acres.
If the average student area is less than 100 square meters, Jinling University would have to have more than 30,000 students on its Xianlin campus.
In fact, the plan for Jinyi is not only 1,000 acres, but should be between 1,000 acres and 2,000 acres. Even if Yu Dong doesn't come forward, Wu Changxin can talk to them himself and hope to talk about 2,000 acres. After all, Jin Yi's current
The development can also be seen by the government.
However, the Deep Space Company came forward, and the government was naturally not stingy and directly added another thousand acres to the original plan.
Yu Dong's face is not worth less than a thousand acres of land. Besides, this thousand acres of campus is not given for free, Jin Yi also has to spend money.
As long as Jinyi students can have more than 15,000 students in the future, the 3,000-acre campus will not be considered a loss.
After several years of development, the number of full-time students in Jinyi is now close to 7,000, and will enter a period of rapid growth in the next few years. It is estimated that the number of students in Jinyi is likely to exceed 10,000 in the next four to five years.
Therefore, there is still hope for Xianlin Campus to exceed 15,000.
In fact, the government still very much hopes that Jinyi can set up a campus in the soon-to-be-constructed Xianlin University College, because Jinyi is, after all, an art college with its own characteristics. It has been very popular in recent years and has often been in the news.
After Yu Dong received a positive reply, he did not delay and ran directly to Wu Changxin's office to tell him the good news.
When Yu Dong arrived at Wu Changxin's office, Liu Changmin was also there. As soon as he entered the door, Yu Dong heard Liu Changmin say: "Principal, our studio is really too small. Several computers have arrived in the past two days.
In my office...it can't even be called my office. I don't have an office. Isn't it just a utility room? Why don't you come with me now and see what kind of mess my place is like?"
Wu Changxin frowned and said, "Solve it? How do you think I can solve it for you? Your studio is in trouble, but I will give you three rooms. The Science Fiction Association had three rooms before, so I asked me to cut it for them.
One room, and the Cucumber Garden Poetry Club. They still live in the same room until now and spend most of their time in various classrooms. Otherwise, how about I give you my office?"
"Principal, why are you saying this? I didn't mean it..."
Wu Changxin wanted to say something else. He looked up and saw Yu Dong standing at the door. A smile immediately appeared on his face, "Teacher Yu is here, come in and sit down."
Liu Changmin raised his head to say hello to Yu Dong, and then complained to Wu Changxin, "Principal, are you biased? Why do you look sad when you see me, and happy when you see Yu Dong?"
Wu Changxin said angrily: "It's not that you see a sad face, it's that you say something that makes me sad every time you come here. If you are like Yu Dong, who says good things every time you come here, I will definitely smile at you. How much do you say?
Just show a few of your teeth, okay?"
Liu Changmin muttered, "Then who says I'm really in trouble? Our studio pays a lot of money to the school every year, and I don't dare to ask for too much. After the new building comes out, just give us two rooms."
"The newly built dormitory building is a dormitory building. How can we give it to you?"
"We don't mind."
Wu Changxin snorted, "You don't mind."
"Aren't there some empty rooms in the complex? You can give them to us."
"You mean the sixth floor?"
"Um."
"The rooms on the sixth floor are reserved for new major students. They are already nervous enough, so I will give them to you."
Liu Changmin said with a crying face: "This won't work, that won't work either, what should we do?"
At this time, Yu Dong said, "I think after the dormitory building is built, we can let their studio stay in the dormitory building for a while to make a transition."
Wu Changxin sighed, "The dormitory building will be put into use after it is built. Many teachers cannot be allocated a house and can only squeeze into a house with other teachers. The problems of these people must be solved. And you, I also need to mention something.
The standards have been raised.”
"It doesn't matter to us."
"That's not possible, this is a must."
"Even if we have some, there should be some left."
"There are some left, but we can't give them offices. There will be teachers who meet the conditions and will definitely move in there. And when do you think the transition will be completed? Our school has no plans to build other buildings for the time being."
Chapter completed!
