Chapter 729 Hiring the Principal of MIT

There are a total of 6,217 freshmen in the first class. After half a year of matriculation, they will start their first school year in early September this year.

Raphael Leff, the seventeenth president of MIT who has been in office for 12 years, was recruited by the headhunting company hired by Jiang Chen with an annual salary of 4 million U.S. dollars after his retirement. This is almost twice his annual salary in the past. Even compared with the University of Chicago, which has the highest salary level, the annual salary Jiang Chen offered him is a full 1 million higher.

In fact, to be honest, 65% of Keluo University is Chinese, and the board of directors suggested Jiang Chen to recruit people from Huaguo University. However, after some careful consideration, Jiang Chen rejected the proposal. Regardless of the two aspects of identity and ability, he does not want to copy the bureaucratic management model of domestic universities to Xinguo.

As the first university in Singapore, Korot University will be a model for future education in Singapore. Academic bureaucratization is by no means a good phenomenon. After exchanging opinions with scientists such as Lu Yuan and Amos, Jiang Chen finally made this decision.

Compared to training a group of technicians with strong digestion ability, Jiang Chen hopes that Keluo University can train a group of scientists with strong innovation ability.

After Raphael Leif arrived in Xinguo, Jiang Chen personally picked him up from the plane. Mr. Leif was also obviously flattered that Jiang Chen valued him so much. Although he has a good influence in the academic world, he can't compare to Jiang Chen, the chairman of the future group with a legendary experience.

The gray-haired old man was wearing a suit, and his body looked tougher than expected.

"I saw your speech at the University of Munich."

"Did you laugh?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Please don't be so humble. No one has more say in the field of artificial intelligence than you. Now there is another graphene. I think the boys at the University of Munich will be very grateful to you." Mr. Leif smiled and Jiang Chen shook hands.

After a pause, he continued.

"Honestly, I was already ready to retire, but after hearing about the educational philosophy of Keluo University, I suddenly felt that I could still work for a few more years. But I have a condition before starting work, that is, I don't want the school board to criticize My philosophy of running a school interferes too much."

"Don't worry, the school board will not interfere with your school running. After you take office, I will give you the position of principal, and I will only be named as the honorary principal. We are only responsible for providing funds, and you are responsible for helping us build a Pacific Ocean. Massachusetts Institute of Technology." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mr. Leif finally nodded in relief.

Running a university is different from running a business.

Historical heritage and cultural accumulation cannot be completed overnight. When Keluo University really becomes a world-renowned famous university, it will take at least four years for the first batch of graduates to leave the campus.

The two chatted for a long time about the school-running model of Keluo University.

Before saying goodbye, Leif suddenly spoke half-jokingly.

"Speaking of which, are you interested in giving lectures at my Keluo University? Although I can only offer you an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars."

"Me? I'm afraid I have nothing to say." Jiang Chen laughed.

His education is only undergraduate, not even a postgraduate. He is very clear about his own situation. If he asks himself, it’s okay if he is allowed to talk nonsense, but let’s forget about lecturing. That would be a mistake.

"No, I think you still have a lot to learn from Keluo students, but you haven't even discovered it yourself." Leff looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, "Keluo University's school motto is to discover, try, and change. .”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen spoke.

"...I will consider your opinion. But let me state in advance that I will only do one elective course at most."

"I bet that must be the most popular elective course." Leff said in a joking tone.

...

As Keluo University gradually got on the right track, Jiang Chen also shifted the focus of his work to the Future Group.

Penglai City is about to be completed, the Global Commodity Fair, vrcity, and the upcoming mobile phone from Futureman Technology... When Jiang Chen personally participated in these tasks, he truly realized how huge the industry under his name is, and at the same time I felt how hard it was for Xia Shiyu to carry the weight of the entire group as a girl.

According to Jane's statistics, she has been living with an average of two meetings a day and 30 document approvals. Fortunately, Jane can help now. In the past, she had to review these documents manually.

In the evening, Jiang Chen was sitting in the chairman's office, holding the coffee made by his secretary, looking at the night view of Surero City through the floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking about the future direction of development.

Tanaka has been sealed in the basement of Crescent Island, and the Black Ship Organization has existed in name only. Holding Mitsui Hiroshi's list, the ghost agents have already arrested most of the members of the Asian branch of the Black Ship, leaving only sporadic remnants fleeing in various places.

During the capture and assassination of these people, the ghost agents sent by Jiang Chen discovered some strange phenomena.

Many members of the Black Ship organization have shown unimaginable abilities in the fight against ghost agents...like superpowers?

According to the intelligence fed back by the agents, Aisha summarized these abilities. Among them, the normal ones include enhancement of the five senses, enhancement of recovery ability, enhancement of athletic ability, etc., while unscientific ones include manipulating magnetization, electric discharge, mental shock, etc...

Intuition told Jiang Chen that these abilities are probably related to hiding genetic codes. And these people... let's call them "superpowers", how to unlock the power of the genetic code without genetic medicine is still unknown.

Did the black ship transform them, or did they become members of the black ship because they possessed these special abilities?

But how did Tanaka bring these people together.

Sighing, Jiang Chen drank the remaining coffee in the cup in one gulp. Originally, he was thinking about the direction of development, but for some reason, he thought of other things.

"Forget it, let the ghost agents solve these little ones. As for the superpowers... let's catch some of them first and then study them slowly."

Putting the coffee cup on the table, Jiang Chen was just about to ask the secretary on night shift to make another cup when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Xia Shiyu pushed open the door and walked in holding a document.

Looking at her who was still working so late, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel apologetic.

"Thanks a lot."

"Where, this is my job." Tucking her hair behind her ears, Xia Shiyu said lightly, "...This is the planning plan for the commodity fair, and this is the project proposal for vrcity, although I have I reviewed it for you, but it’s better to have a look at it before signing.”

After receiving the documents from Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen started the approval work under her guidance.

The faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose, lingering. Perhaps because he was so close, he could even feel her breathing and her tense heartbeat. (To be continued.)
