Chapter 3000

In fact, Su Xinghui was also willing to see the establishment of Baozhou University. Although this craze for university mergers made many people dismissive, and there were some failed examples, for a non-provincial capital city like Baozhou City, a comprehensive undergraduate institution was still very important.

Having such a school could greatly enhance Baozhou City's city image and city strength. A city's educational strength was not just primary and secondary education; how higher education was was also very important.

How Baozhou City's development potential was was also related to the cultivation of talent. If there was such a good undergraduate institution in Baozhou City, then a batch of university graduates could be cultivated every year. The probability of these university graduates staying in Baozhou was always much higher than the probability of university graduates from outside coming to work in Baozhou City.

Moreover, the Baozhou Municipal Government could also introduce some preferential and reward measures to attract university graduates to stay.

Zhu Jimin was also over fifty years old this year and was a university president, so Su Xinghui still respected him very much. He stood up personally, made a cup of tea for Zhu Jimin, and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhu Jimin.

Zhu Jimin hurriedly leaned over to take the teacup and said, "Mayor Su pouring tea personally, I dare not accept, I dare not accept!"

Su Xinghui laughed, "President Zhu is an elder, it is only right for me to pour tea for you."

Saying this, Su Xinghui sat opposite Zhu Jimin.

Zhu Jimin said, "Mayor Su, I came to see you still for the matter of establishing Baozhou University. Establishing Baozhou University has great benefits for Baozhou City's cultural atmosphere and city image, so I hope Mayor Su can support it!"

Su Xinghui said, "Personally, I still support the establishment of Baozhou University very much. It is mainly that this matter also involves three other schools, so we still need to do more work together."

Zhu Jimin said, "Mayor Su, this matter cannot be delayed. The deadline for submitting the application is the third quarter. If it is overdue, we have to wait another year. We can't afford to delay! Our city still has to submit an application to the province, and the province still has to submit an application to the State Council. Three months doesn't seem short, but it passes in a flash."

Zhu Jimin was, after all, from an educational background, so his speech was not as slick as an ordinary bureaucrat, and he spoke too directly. If it were another Vice Mayor, he would inevitably feel some displeasure in his heart.

Fortunately, opposite him was Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui had dealt with him several times and knew his temper, so he didn't take offense.

Moreover, Zhu Jimin's words were indeed reasonable. This matter still had to be haggled with those three schools, then an application had to be submitted to the province. After the province approved it, an application had to be submitted to the State Council.

This matter was not a small matter, and the style of the organs was sluggish. If the province delayed for a few months, it would be a big trouble. The application deadline for this year would pass, and they would have to wait another year.

Su Xinghui said, "President Zhu, don't be impatient. I will also be as fast as possible. I have actually talked to the presidents of those schools, and they basically all agree with the plan of merging the four schools to establish a new Baozhou University. It's just that they still have some opinions on some details. Let's find a time for the leaders of your four families to sit together and discuss the details."

Zhu Jimin was overjoyed. When he told Su Xinghui about this some time ago, the leaders of those three schools were very resolutely unwilling to merge with Baozhou College. That attitude was so resolute that it was simply awe-inspiring. It seemed that if they agreed to the school merger, they would be traitors selling their country for glory.

He didn't expect that Su Xinghui had already talked to the presidents of those three schools and talked so well. If this was the case, then the biggest obstacle would not exist. As for those details, they were all easy to talk about, just let them make some concessions and let the leaders of those three schools have some face.
