Chapter 146 University Plans

After chatting for a while, Su Yehao took a car back to Deep Water Bay.

Sweet Fish Entertainment was on the right track, and Nangong Tian wasn't too busy with work. Recently, she'd dragged Jiang Yu along to enroll in a baking class, learning how to make bread and desserts from a rather famous female pastry chef.

Ever since they went to this baking class, Su Yehao had been eating bread and desserts in various ways every day.

Whenever he came home, he could smell a cake shop. The leftovers were shared with the bodyguards and nannies. Nangong Tian seemed to enjoy the baking process more than how to eat it.

Jiang Yu also became fascinated with learning pottery at the training institution. A few days ago, she sent Su Yehao a set of teacups. To be honest... they didn't seem much different from the teacups that cost a few dollars on the street.

They had finally found some small hobbies, so Su Yehao never interfered too much and was quite supportive.

It was a little after ten in the morning.

When he got home, Nangong Tian was feeding the koi by the pond. She happily walked over and said:

"Brother Hao, you're in for another treat! My pineapple pie will be ready soon. By the way, the big koi in the pond are growing really well. I often see stray cats squatting on the rocks, eyeing them hungrily. Losing one would cost hundreds of thousands. You have to be careful."

Su Yehao waved his hand and said calmly:

"Don't worry, my koi are so big, how could they be caught by a cat? I'd believe that stray cats could be swallowed by these fish. There are several fish over a meter long."

In Japan, the fish kings selected for three consecutive years were all bought by Su Yehao.

To raise these fish, he even went to the reservoir to get water and hired professional talent to help raise them. As one of the longest-lived pets, some koi can live for more than two hundred years. As long as they are carefully cared for, they can outlive two or three generations of people.

Nangong Tian smiled and said, "That's right, they're so fat that cats probably can't drag them away. Brother Hao, you went to discuss the university land, what did they say?"

"What else could they say? Even though it's school land, the procedures are quite troublesome. I just went to say hello in advance today. The specifics probably won't be formally approved until a mature plan is presented."

Su Yehao loosened his tie and tossed it to Nangong Tian. He put his arm around her shoulder, basking in the sun and taking a walk, adding:

"After looking around, I feel that the European-style campus has more flavor. In the future, when you get tired of Sweet Fish Entertainment, I'll let you be the principal of the university. Let's get the concept map out first and test people's attitudes online. If most people support giving me the land, the land in the west will be basically stable. Although the universities in Hong Kong are good, they lack a top-notch science and engineering research university. I plan to focus on cultivating science and engineering talents, and also set up a business school, a mathematics school, and so on."

"Besides these, are there any others? Like a law school, a liberal arts school, etc.?"

"There must be a medical school, as well as engineering and architecture, and computer science. My idea is to focus on cultivating scarce talents. Every school has liberal arts and foreign language schools, and it's not very interesting to compete with others."

Su Yehao was temporarily short of money, but he was confident about the future.

Saying that the total investment would be 30 to 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, spread out a little each year, was actually not stressful. Relying on the dividends from Maotai Distillery alone would probably be more than enough at that time.

At that time, he gave Maotai Distillery a financing loan of 2 billion. This money was used by Maotai Distillery to expand its products and improve its marketing channels. The outside world believed that Su Yehao loved to drink Maotai, which saved it a lot of advertising expenses.

Up to now, Maotai still has idle funds on its books, as much as 700 million RMB in 5s Asset Management, purchasing various wealth management products.

Due to Su Yehao's intervention, there was no need to list Maotai Distillery in the short term. Currently, the general direction above is that whichever company lacks money will be listed first. Given the situation of Maotai Distillery, there was no need to rush.

Maotai Distillery also expressed its intention to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but Su Yehao rejected it, saying that many investors in Hong Kong and abroad did not like to drink baijiu at all, so it would naturally be less attractive.

The beauty of baijiu stocks will have to wait for a while to ferment, but the profit from selling wine is already very considerable. The current net profit margin exceeds 59%, no wonder it is regarded as a luxury, with extremely high brand added value.

Nangong Tian almost laughed when she thought about becoming a principal, and replied:

"If it weren't for your help, whether I could get a degree from Hong Kong University with my credits is unknown. It would be strange if others obeyed me when I manage those students. Don't let me get scolded."

"What are you afraid of? I'll support you. As long as you control the school's finances, even a Nobel Prize winner will have to look at your face."

Changing the subject, Su Yehao added: "After thinking about it seriously, forget it. What if there are handsome guys chasing you at that time? Those students are all young and energetic, and they don't have to worry about their families anyway, so they won't give me face."

"Hahahaha, I'm afraid I'll be almost thirty years old when your school is built. I won't pay attention to them."

"Thirty is still a very charming age, and it's easier to be missed. I feel that my school is still relatively advantageous, because many talents can be digested internally. As long as they are outstanding enough, they don't have to worry about finding job opportunities. Students may not care about these, but most parents in the mainland will be moved. The group of Chinese-American talents I recruited in Silicon Valley are the most serious and hardworking during their work and are easy to manage."

They chatted while strolling.

After listening to him, Nangong Tian nodded: "That's because they have no way out. It's much more difficult to study abroad and find a high-paying job than it is for white employees, so they have to work hard and sell their lives. It seems that your company in the mainland is more cost-effective. Although the employees' income is less, the cost of living is also much less."

Su Yehao said:

"Well, the business in Silicon Valley is expanding, and the cost of hiring full-time employees is too high. In fact, we can follow the model of Indian outsourcing companies and establish a software solutions company in the mainland. India's Tata Consulting, Infosys, and Wipro are all relatively good in scale. They often wanted to cooperate with me in the first half of the year, but there seems to be no movement since the second half of the year. I'm afraid they don't lack orders. The problem is that there are a few talents related to computers in the mainland. By the time my university is built, the day lilies will be cold..."

Indian Internet companies are not famous.

However, in the field of software outsourcing, it almost monopolizes the Silicon Valley market.

This year, the total scale of the global software and IT outsourcing market is estimated to exceed 300 billion US dollars. The number of global netizens is soaring, and various Internet companies under Su Yehao are short of manpower recently.

It is better to hand over the orders in Silicon Valley to the mainland, but in the mainland Internet companies, the market scale cannot support the huge labor cost expenditure, and the funding gap is getting bigger and bigger, all relying on Su Yehao to constantly transfuse blood.

Coincidentally, in Qianxin City, the office park is about to be completed. In the past few years, computer majors have been very popular, and the talents trained have also entered the society one after another.

Out of consideration for controlling costs and increasing employment, it is indeed possible to establish a software outsourcing company.

In this era, the gold content of college students is still quite high.

This year, there are only more than one million college graduates in the mainland. Whether it is ability or work attitude, it must be better than it will be ten or twenty years later.

If we first recruit some people through the outsourcing company, and then select the group of talents with the best comprehensive conditions from within the outsourcing company to join tAt, tot, Taobao and other companies, I believe it will be able to raise the competitiveness of these companies by a large margin...
