Chapter 698 The Land Near the Yale Bowl
Chapter 698 Land near Yale Bowl
From an ethical point of view, there is nothing wrong with what Giama did.
Carter couldn't even judge the other party from a moral perspective. After all, Giamma was not originally trained by Yale. He had been working at Columbia University before, and the president of Yale might just be a job to him.
.
Objectively speaking, Giama's behavior is really disgusting to the New Haven City Government.
Although he nodded to the community co-construction plan, he never brought his wife and children from New York to New Haven.
In the past, it was fine if you didn't take it. After all, the quality of primary and secondary education in New Haven was really incomparable to that of New York. But now, almost half of the primary and secondary schools in New Haven have Yale teachers and students. Now
Still disgusted?!
In his heart, he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to either Yale or New Haven.
It is also because of Giamma's actions that Yale University has always felt a little embarrassed, both internally and externally, that is, in its cooperation with the New Haven City Government.
And objectively speaking, it is precisely because of this that Carter has a very clever position today.
Compared to Giyama, the seemingly distant Yale president, McCall clearly liked Carter more.
Look at the gap. You are a principal who is running around all day long, and you are a student, but you are thinking about how to fight for the rise of New Haven every day?! Are you, Giamma, ashamed?!
"It's okay. The intention is easy to reach. But I can't say yet whether the specific details can be agreed upon. Due to details, many cooperation talks have collapsed, so I can't give you a definite answer."
Thinking about these twists and turns in his heart, Carter couldn't help but wonder, why is Giyama looking for him now?
Is it a matter of changing the term of the Board of Directors? Or something else?!
"There are indeed many failures in such cooperation, but I believe in your ability! You won't make things so ugly, right?"
American praise
Oh!
He shrugged his shoulders with a smile, which was a response to the principal that Carter didn't like very much. Carter waited patiently for the rest of the story.
"You should eat first and chat while you eat. I have called you here this time to introduce you to Vice Principal Stevens. In addition to external cooperation, he also serves as the chairman of the club activity committee in the school. You should meet later
We deal with them often!”
"Principal Stevens!"
Congshan Ruliu nodded to the person next to Giyama and said hello.
Carter chose to ignore Giyama's new compliments.
The so-called club activity committee is basically similar to the student affairs office of the previous life university. In these European and American universities that implement student autonomy, the most obvious feature of student autonomy is the formation of management organizations in the form of clubs.
For example, the board of directors is responsible for managing all student clubs; then this club manages a group of students, that club manages a group, and so on. The club activity committee is set up at the school level to guide student club activities.
And the responsible unit. As I just said, the chairman will be this Vice Principal Stevens.
The committee members are composed of professors and student representatives. The student representatives may not all come from the council, but the council will definitely occupy many seats.
This is also how the board of directors can participate in school governance. The board of directors' own powers can only manage students and have no decision-making power on the school's own affairs.
But after passing the Board of Directors and holding a lot of seats on the committee, we have to consider any policy that Yale introduces for students. We will not agree to it! In this way, we will have invisible influence!
After all, you can't just encourage students to hold political rallies and challenge the school every time you want to do something, right? That's too radical!
That’s the way politicians play, not even the way politicians play, let alone the way businessmen play!
"Hello, Carter. I finally have a chance to chat with you alone. Hey, why didn't you become a student representative before? In that case, we could meet a long time ago!"
"Haha, I didn't know this before! And, as you can see, usually, I may be special and busy. I might not be able to do much if I rashly become a representative."
"What about now? Aren't you busy now?"
"I'm busy now, but in a few days, it should be much better. Moreover, time flies! In the blink of an eye, half of my college time has passed. For Yale University, if I am just an ordinary student, that's it.
But since I have the ability, I also want to try to do something for my alma mater. This may be the simplest emotion of a Yale person!"
After Carter finished speaking with a little bit of personal information, he secretly paid attention to Giyama's reaction.
However, the president's expression remained unchanged. He seemed to have been used to being teased as "not a Yale guy" many times, or maybe he didn't understand Carter's meaning at all.
"That's right! It's a good idea that you have, and we will definitely support you! If there are any problems in the future, we will actively communicate!"
"Then I'd like to thank Principal Stevens first!"
"No, no, no, no, we have the same purpose in this regard!"
After being polite back and forth, just when Carter was wondering if he was just talking to him about these things, Stevens suddenly changed the topic and asked:
"Carter, I heard from Mayor McCall this afternoon that you plan to make larger-scale investment and construction centered on the giant panda pavilion. So what do you expect the price of land nearby to be to fluctuate, or in other words, there will be
How much fluctuation?"
"It's hard to say, because the specific plan hasn't been released yet. But for now, a giant panda pavilion will drive demand for catering in the surrounding area of about two kilometers. Then the needs of catering employees, such as retail, transportation, etc. will not be a big problem. Three kilometers,
It can barely radiate, but it will be weakened a lot. Based on the basic land price in the West Haven area, if it doubles within three kilometers, there will be no problem!"
"What about places farther away? For example, near Yale Bowl. Do you think the land near Yale Bowl has development value?"
Um?!
Carter's brows jumped, as if he understood what Stevens meant.
"Judging from the current situation, the economic effect of the Giant Panda Museum cannot be radiated there, it is too far! But the land near the Yale Bowl definitely has room for operation. As long as the Yale Bowl stadium is open to the outside world, our Bulldogs can reduce some of it.
training time, or set aside a period of time every day to allow those enthusiasts to enter the arena, train with our players, or play friendly matches. This is a good place in people's lives. However, the surrounding commercial facilities are still
OK."
"There are basic convenience stores, and there are also some scattered residential areas, but they are a little less systematic and not very organized. If there is a primary and secondary school nearby, I would like to develop that area into a middle school.
The residential area should be a good direction."
"Yale Bowl is close to the city center. It is very convenient whether you go further into the West Haven area or go to the old city center. It is not far from the hospital, and the Yale Bowl can be opened to the public as a cultural and sports activity center. I think the houses there,
It should be very popular!”
