I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 723 - 721: I’ll Pay for Their Relocation

The World Academic Symposium this time came to an end in an atmosphere filled with striking contrasts.

From an initial skepticism towards the Huaxia scientific research team to the overcrowded meetings hosted by Zhang Menglong and others, once again proving Professor Wang's "True Fragrance" Law.

There was simply no help for it; the lectures and reports by Zhang Menglong and his team were too spectacular, crushing the most cutting-edge results of the day, and even they were able to learn a great deal from them.

Especially for some globally watched themes, over a thousand people crammed into a conference hall meant for only two hundred, making the reporters from other countries feel quite embarrassed.

In Zhang Menglong's conference hall, no matter if you are a Nobel Prize laureate, no matter if you are a professor from a top ten university in the world ranking, if you can't find a seat, you'll have to stand and listen to the report!

Even until the report finished, they still appeared as if they hadn't had enough; after all, some of the core technologies and data will not be announced to the public.

Thus, countless people surrounded Zhang Menglong, hoping to have the opportunity to study in Huaxia in the future, especially at Zhang Menglong's alma mater, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, which must be a very humble, mysterious, and awesome place, right?

The moment he returned to Huaxia, Zhang Menglong received a call from Han Jinyu.

"Menglong, good news!"

"What's so funnily worth your personal call, Professor Han?"

"Hahaha, guess?" Han Jinyu teased.

"Do you guess I'll guess?"

"It's so dull talking to you!" Han Jinyu said with a bitter smile, "I'll just tell you then, our university has been upgraded again, now it's one of the new batch of national key construction universities, with only five in the whole country, Yanjing University, Qingbei University, Jiangnan University, Modu University of Transportation, and our Jiangnan University of Science and Technology!"

At this point, Han Jinyu became very excited, "You have no idea how big of an academic sensation you caused at the World Academic Symposium. Every single one of your topics could open the eyes of Nobel laureates and awardees of the same rank, and now they are all eager to come to our school for visiting studies!"

"It's not just for academic visits, it's for visiting studies! Studies! Nobel laureates coming to learn from you, do you realize what that represents?"

"Isn't that quite normal?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "They are not as good as us. If they want to improve, they'll just have to come and learn properly—nothing wrong with that! Be composed, Professor Han, this is all standard procedure!"

"You don't understand," Han Jinyu said excitedly, "in the past few days, we've already received more than thirty visit applications from Nobel laureates in various domains, and as for those from world-renowned Ivy League universities, professors from Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, their applications are countless. Now the whole world wants to come and visit our university."

"Let them line up, holding a number of love!"

"Exactly, there are even several Ivy League university professors trying to jump the queue. Seriously, Nobel laureates need to wait in line; when was it their turn to play the maverick?" Han Jinyu said with a sense of triumph.

"It's not just the top scholars, the number of applications now received by our school is beyond count!"

There are foreigners in Zhang Menglong's research group, but they are from countries like Bangladesh. To be honest, their educational level isn't good enough to attend better universities, so they could only come to an ordinary first-tier college like Jiangnan University of Science and Technology for gold-plating.

But now things are different. The foreign students in the school walk with heads held high with pride. Now, when they return to their own countries and tell others they studied at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, they will surely receive countless envious glances.

In the past, both domestically and abroad, people tried every means to send students to famous foreign universities, but now everyone is desperately trying to get people into Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.

In these past few days, the school has received more applications than in the previous ten years combined, and even undergraduates from Ivy League institutions are giving up the opportunity to continue their studies there, instead wishing to secure a place at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.

You should know that this place has now become the center of world academic exchange. You might be walking down the tree-lined campus paths, and the person brushing past you could be a Nobel Prize laureate.

You go to the restroom, ask the guy next door for a piece of paper, and the person handing you the paper might just be a visiting honorary professor from an Ivy League school!

Of course, due to the explosive increase in visitors and international students, the current size of the campus can no longer accommodate so many students. According to incomplete estimates, the campus area might even need to expand three to five times in the coming years!

"We're already applying for other locations," Han Jinyu said, "and soon we'll be able to have several campuses just like Jiangnan University."

"I don't think that's a great idea!" Zhang Menglong said, "I still suggest that we build the whole school as one unit. It's better for management and the integration of the school. Imagine, others walk in and see that a large expanse belongs to our school, even requiring a bus ride to get to class. How cool would that be?"

"Although that's a good idea and would indeed be more powerful for our school," Han Jinyu explained, "it's just not feasible. We have Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, Jiangnan University of Finance and Economics, Jiangnan Quantum University beside us. It's not like we can just make them move and leave the land to us for campus development, right?"

"Well..." Zhang Menglong laughed, "that's not impossible! We could give them two options: either merge with us and continue to grow as one, or we help them relocate."

"You're dreaming," Han Jinyu laughed, "even if they agreed, the Department of Education and Research would never approve it."

"Then let's offer them a move, I'll show up, give them a bigger campus!"

"Hahaha, that's so you," Han Jinyu initially thought Zhang Menglong was joking, but then he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hong Yi, find a way to buy all the land around our school. If there's a company, buy land and build them another one. If there's a school, sell them a piece of land and build them another school!"

"Okay," Hong Yi said, "there is lots of unused land in the northern and southern parts of Jiangnan City, and given the prestige of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, I think Jiangnan City will be very willing to do more in favor of your school!"

"Alright, let's do it that way!"

"Menglong, are you... are you serious?" Han Jinyu's mouth fell open. Such a big decision, made just like that with a few words?

"It's not a big deal. It's not a problem if money can solve it!" freёwebnoѵel.com

"Great, I'll let the principal know right now!" Overflowing with excitement, Han Jinyu thought if Zhang Menglong could really pull this off, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology could instantly expand more than five times. All the campuses connected, what would other institutions even count for then!"

"Also," Zhang Menglong added, "we can't just let these international students come in so easily now!"

"Don't worry, we're not short of student applications now, we'll definitely be doing a thorough selection. They've got to have some academic achievements to qualify for studying for masters or Ph.D. at our school!"

"It's not just that," Zhang Menglong laughed, "To go abroad, don't they have to take tests like IELTS or TOEFL? So, to come to our Huaxia, shouldn't they at least understand some Chinese?"

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't there a Chinese Listening Test?" Zhang Menglong said, "To enter our school, first off, they can't be speaking that bird language every day. They need to pass Huaxia, and the standards must be high, dialect promotion also needs to be in place. When foreigners can fluently say 'every country has its own national anthem' in Cantonese, our education has succeeded."

"Giggle giggle giggle... No way, Cantonese is too difficult. I feel like I've turned into a chicken."

"Hahahaha!"
