Chapter 81: Chapter 81: First Stage of School Expansion Project (1/3)_1

"What are you two thinking about?"

Ding Yue chided Huang Youjie and Xu Bin and then sat casually in his office chair, continuing, "When I speak of acquiring, I don’t mean it literally. Lin Zhirou is a very promising music student. Her future after graduation has already been clearly planned by me."

"Have you signed her?"

Xu Bin understood what Ding Yue meant and immediately asked.

A few days ago, Xu Bin learned that Ding Yue had registered the Feiyue Group Company, he knew Ding Yue’s development strategy.

"Hm, I’ve signed her, for ten years after graduation." Ding Yue laughed, nodding in response.

"What have you signed? And for ten years? What does this have to do with Lin Zhirou?"

Huang Youjie was completely confused.

Hearing Ding Yue and Xu Bin’s conversation, Huang Youjie suddenly felt like he was listening to gibberish. Could it be that he had been reading his law textbooks too much lately, and his response has deteriorated?

"Old Huang, you’ve been engrossed in your ’Criminal Law’ book and have no idea about the outside world. Even this you don’t know?"

Xu Bin patted Huang Youjie’s shoulder and said with a laugh.

"Tell me about it."

"Yue has registered a company, called Feiyue Group, to help support the development of our Mist City Arts and Science University. Think about it, if the university cultivates excellent talents in various disciplines, is it better for us to retain these talents or let them be recruited by other companies?"

Xu Bin explained to Huang Youjie.

"Of course, it’s better to keep them working for us." Huang Youjie might have been a little slow to react but was not stupid. He naturally knew that if excellent graduates could be absorbed internally, the benefits could be maximized.

And others won’t benefit from it.

"Bin is right". Ding Yue nodded as well, "The purpose of registering Feiyue Group was to maximize profits and at the same time giving back to the school, promoting the better development of the school."

"Old Huang, let me give you an analogy."

Seeing that Huang Youjie still didn’t quite understand, Xu Bin explained further: "Suppose a student from our school’s engineering discipline has the potential to develop a very promising technological achievement, then when the time comes, the school can invest in his research project, and simultaneously, under the school’s backing company, retain the technological breakthrough and the person, this way the technological results and talents will not be leaked to other companies. We will absorb internally and then make big money trough this technological breakthrough, understand?"

This time, Xu Bin explained it clearly enough.

After hearing this, Huang Youjie looked dazed and nodded his head.

In fact, Huang Youjie had understood already and after a moment, he gave a thumbs up to Ding Yue. "Yue is indeed Yue, truly far-sighted."

"Heh~ Such flattery makes me feel good. Alright, you two came to see me because you need something, right?"

Ding Yue said with a face of "enjoyment".

Knock, knock, knock!

Just as Ding Yue finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The one who came in was Ding Yue’s intern secretary, Wen Ruohan. She was holding some documents and files.

"Principal Ding, Director Huang, Director Xu, I’ve brought all the paperwork." Wen Ruohan came over and put all the documents on Ding Yue’s desk.

"Is it regarding the construction land procedure?"

Ding Yue took a look, there were things like the land use planning permit.

"Yes, after our school’s architecture faculty conducted surveys and designs on the land, I ran around with the drawings for approvals and did all the paperwork. I’ve got all the relevant procedures done during this period."

Wen Ruohan sounded a bit proud as she spoke.

"Secretary Wen even communicated with our logistics department, discussing the preparation for the bidding conference."

At this time, Huang Youjie nodded approvingly at Wen Ruohan.

Xu Bin also said, "So we came to discuss with you about assembling personnel from various departments to form a bidding office and get ready for the bidding conference."

"Yes, yes, yes. With all the work I’ve been doing, I almost forgot."

Upon hearing, Ding Yue reacted.

He remembered last time he asked Wen Ruohan to discuss the bidding conference with the logistics department.

"Since all our procedures are in place, let’s assemble some people from the logistics and administrative departments to form a bidding office. I will personally be in charge of it."

Ding Yue had to supervise this matter personally.

After all, if someone else was left in charge of choosing the bidding companies, who knows if there would be some underhanded business going on?

At this stage, inviting bids for construction companies to expand the campus is a crucial matter for Mist City Arts and Science University.

Regrettably.

The students at the current School of Architecture are still not capable of being in charge of this construction project.

If they were, Ding Yue would have used his own people.

The initial stages, including the construction of a new library and the first batch of apartment dormitory buildings, still require the invitation of external construction companies for the construction work.

Once the students of the School of Architecture at Mist City Arts and Science University are accomplished or graduated, Ding Yue will set up his own construction company within the Feiyue Group and venture into the field of construction.

By then, the subsequent school expansion projects might be carried out by construction crews composed of the university’s graduates.

"Alright."

Huang Youjie and Xu Bin nodded in unison, always obeying the instructions of Principal Ding.

"Besides, for this bidding, we will first set up the first-phase project, including new libraries, apartment dormitory buildings, etc. Subsequent construction will be determined based on real conditions as the second phase, then discussed later."

Currently, the teaching buildings of Mist City Arts and Science University are basically enough. After all, there was originally an area of 2,500 acres.

There is only the first-year class now, and many classrooms are not even in use yet.

The laboratory buildings and practice bases are not in a rush, as many majors will not need them during the first or second academic year.

If some students do require a laboratory for their projects in these two years, the existing laboratory building should suffice.

The remaining issue is the experimental equipment, which can be bought with money.

So, Ding Yue knew very well that what Mist City Arts and Science University urgently needed to construct were new libraries and apartment dormitory buildings.

The library is already full every day and completely insufficient.

As for the apartment dormitory buildings, due to the consistently low number of students at Mist City Siyuan University it was previously, so the number of their apartment dormitories was also relatively few.

About ten thousand people might be just enough.

At least another ten thousand will be enrolled next year, so apartment dormitory buildings also need to be expanded in the first phase.

The construction projects such as the new library and the apartment dormitory buildings are the first stage. If you can’t use your own people, you can only invite outside construction companies for construction.

If one can utilize their own construction company’s crew, it could save quite a bit from the cost.

Mind you, the costs of future expansion projects at Mist City Arts and Science University will inevitably be in the range of billions.

"Hmm, I agree with the phased expansion."

"I also agree."

Huang Youjie and Xu Bin both thought that Ding Yue’s idea was excellent.

Blind expansion might lead to unreasonable use of funds, while phased expansion could rationalize the use of funds.

"Well, where do we find a construction company? We certainly can’t invite some worthless construction crews to the bidding convention, right?"

Huang Youjie suddenly asked a vital question.

"That indeed is a problem." Ding Yue murmured softly.

There is a real possibility that the bidding units might be worthless ones without any real strength. Even small subcontracting teams might come trying to get a piece of the work, and one can imagine the quality of the buildings they would construct.

School expansion.

You have to find a reliable construction company no matter what.

"I’ve got it, there is someone who might be able to help." Ding Yue suddenly thought of someone.
