On July 20th, Forbes China released the 202 1 China charity list, which is the15th charity list released by Forbes China. 100 The total cash donations of the listed entrepreneurs reached 245 1 billion yuan, a substantial increase of 37% compared with last year's1795438+billion yuan. This is the sixth time that the total donation has exceeded11,20 17, 20 18, 20 19 and 2020. This year's entry threshold is 22 million yuan, much higher than last year's100000 yuan. It can be seen that many entrepreneurs, while leading the growth of enterprises, do not forget to do their best to give back to the society, including Cao, the "king of charity".
The Heren Charity Foundation, founded by "Glass King" Cao, announced on July 23rd that in order to support the flood relief work in Henan Province, the board of directors of Heren Charity Foundation decided to donate 6,543.8+billion yuan to the People's Government of Henan Province on the proposal of the donor of Heren Charity Foundation and the chairman of Fuyao Group. Now, this donation has been remitted to the account designated by the Henan Provincial People's Government in one lump sum.
In fact, speaking of Cao, the "king of glass", I believe no one will feel strange. Cao Wangde started a company with a market value of hundreds of billions from scratch, and his talent in this respect is beyond doubt. Moreover, Fuyao Glass has long been one of the largest automobile glass manufacturers in the world, and its share in the global market has exceeded 25%.
Apart from his career success, Cao is best known for his love of charity. In charity, his attitude is not preaching, but repaying the society with practical actions. As we all know, the shortage of people in domestic manufacturing industry has been a big problem in recent years. In this case, Cao repeatedly called on young people not to always look down on manufacturing.
However, in terms of employment, fewer and fewer young people choose to work in factories. Based on this background, on May 2, the construction of Fuyao University of Science and Technology (tentative name) with a total investment of 654.38+0 billion yuan and high-level research was officially launched. After successful completion, this school will be the fourth in China and the first newly-built university in Fujian Province, which will greatly improve the level of higher education and personnel training in Fujian.
If 140 national "double first-class" universities are taken as the benchmark of "good universities", then in the most ideal situation, each province in China has at least 1 "first-class universities" and three "first-class discipline" universities. But this is not the case. In Fujian, a coastal province in Guangdong, there are only two "double first-class" universities, Xiamen University and Fuzhou University.
Among the provinces lacking "good universities", there are not only sparsely populated and backward areas such as Tibet, Qinghai and Ningxia, but also populous provinces such as Henan, and even places such as Henan and Hebei where the number of applicants for the college entrance examination exceeds 6.5438+0 million. It has become a new development trend to strengthen the strength of local higher education, actively organize new universities and vigorously organize new universities.
From the name of Fuyao University of Science and Technology, it seems to be private, but surprisingly, this school is approved by the state and belongs to a public university. In fact, from 1983 to 2020, Cao's personal donation has reached tens of billions, so he is called "the first good in China". Moreover, this generous investment of 654.38+0 billion yuan to build HKUST shows the importance it attaches to talents.
Originally, it was a good thing, but because this university belongs to the public nature, its name has certain ambiguity, so many people argue endlessly about the name Fuyao University of Science and Technology. After all, it seems a bit unconventional to name a public university with this name. It should be pointed out that the name of this university is only tentative at present, and the possibility of changing it will not be ruled out in the future.
Different from other universities, the university founded by Cao has a big "bright spot", that is, to explore a new mode of running public universities. As the manager of the school, the fund sets up the board of directors, and then is responsible for the major strategic decisions of the school, including the school budget and the selection of principals.
From the domestic market, there are only a handful of universities that adopt the foundation-based school-running model. Whether for public universities or private universities, running schools through foundations is of far-reaching significance. It can not only ensure the public welfare of the school, but also expand the resources for running the school.
Many public colleges and universities are funded by government grants, student tuition fees and social donations. In most cases, due to excessive dependence on financial subsidies, the funding for running schools is limited, which affects the independent running of schools. However, the operation mode of the foundation is quite different. Although the school is run by a foundation, it does not affect the nature of public schools at all.
So, what are the new universities in China?
West Lake University
20 16 12 10 "Zhejiang West Lake Institute of Advanced Studies" was formally established in Xihu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang. At the beginning, Zhejiang Province sent an invitation to Tsinghua University. With the consent of Tsinghua University and the approval of the Ministry of Education, Shi became the president of West Lake Research Institute.
The National West Lake Research Institute consists of four research institutes: Institute of Biology, Institute of Basic Medicine, Institute of Science and Institute of Frontier Technology. The researchers in this institute mainly train doctoral students and engage in various basic research, which laid a good foundation for the establishment of West Lake University in the future. 20 17 The application for the establishment of West Lake University was formally submitted to the Ministry of Education. With the approval of the Ministry of Education, the inaugural meeting of West Lake University was held in Hangzhou on the morning of 20 October, 2065438+2008/KLOC-0. This is the first new research university in the history of New China, which was organized by social forces and supported by the state.
Oriental University of Science and Technology
At the beginning of this year, according to the news released by Ningbo, Yu, the 85th alumnus of Ningbo Zhenhai Middle School, decided to build a new research-oriented university of science and engineering in his hometown, with an investment of more than 20 billion yuan. The university is named "Oriental University of Technology", and the project is located in Zhenhai District of Ningbo City, covering an area of 1 1,000 mu, and has been fully launched. Instantly caused a sensation. "Oriental University of Technology" is a new research university of science and engineering in the specific orientation of running a school.
It is reported that the founder of Will invested in the establishment of Oriental Institute of Technology. Since the establishment of the company, Will has been committed to the design and sales of semiconductor products such as semiconductor discrete devices and power management IC. Will shares were listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in May 20 17. After that, Weill completed the acquisition of image sensor chip giant Howell Technology.
Nanjing university of integrated circuits
Faced with this situation, on1October 22nd, 2020, 10, Nanjing University of Integrated Circuits, which once caused a heated discussion, was officially unveiled, marking the formal establishment of Nanjing University of Integrated Circuits.
These new universities, which are under construction, have a large investment, a high starting point and no historical burden. Maybe they can fill in more colors and provide more choices and possibilities for the territory of higher education in China.
In the future, they will become an important part of promoting the development of higher education in China. All we have to do is wait slowly.
