In the hazy night of early summer, Carter and Stevens strolled slowly along Grove Street.

Carter has not been here since there was a murderous eucalyptus in this area.

Whether it is the residential college Davenport, or the classrooms where classes are held regularly, or some administrative halls in the school, such as the Whitney Center, they will basically not touch this place, so there are few people, quiet, and convenient for conversation.

"I don't know if you can see it or not. I don't know if what you said is true or if it's just a good cooperation! We should have a good understanding!"

Taking off his suit jacket and throwing it casually on his shoulders, Stevens acted as if he had taken off his disguise. He reached into his trouser pocket and took out a box of cigarettes, shaking them:

"Do you smoke? Do you mind if I take one?"

"Of course not, I'm an old smoker too."

Carter casually took out a cigarette from the cigarette case. Carter was not polite to the other party. He even took out a lighter and lit it for the other party.

"Where did you learn all these moves? Cough cough cough."

"You don't usually smoke, do you?"

Carter was amused when he saw Stevens choking on cigarettes just by saying a few words. He had obviously just learned to smoke.

"Yes, I have a wife and children. This thing is not good!"

"Now that you know why you smoke?"

"Hey, then why are you smoking? We should be the same, Mr. Giyama. Do you feel it?"

"It's a bit of speculation that he wants to sell, but we don't. Right?"

"Yes, he is not from Yale after all. There are some things and cultural heritage that he doesn't understand and doesn't respect. In fact, you just said it was missing. The Yale Bowl not only started a series of 'bowl games',

For example, the Super Bowl. Even the existence of football as a sport today is due to our contribution at Yale. Many of the current rules of American football came from our senior Walter Camp.”

Exhaling a plume of smoke, Stevens summed up his thoughts in a calm tone:

"So, the Bulldogs can't break up! The Yale Bowl must also be in our hands. This is no longer a simple sport or a simple business. The inheritance of football cannot be interrupted here."

"Think more of it, Mr. Giamma, after all. He only considers the problem from the perspective of running this school. From some perspectives, it is not wrong. If it is really difficult and you can't sell the Yale Bowl, what else can you sell?

It’s okay to have assets, but at least try to save the depleted finances.”

"By the way, I heard a rumor before. The school seems to be planning to expand some international enrollment from the direction of international students, and then use them to boost some revenue?"

"I did think about this problem, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that it is not easy to operate."

"How to say it?"

"We have too many students on campus now! Too many. Under normal circumstances, the undergraduate and graduate students at Yale University total about 10,000, and definitely not more than 15,000. But now, there are

More than 20,000, nearly 30,000. After the expansion of enrollment in the past few years, it has more than doubled, but our classrooms and other infrastructure have not been significantly updated to meet the living and learning needs of so many people.”…

"Have you not noticed that at Yale today, none of you can apply for a single-room dormitory? Except for graduate students who live in apartments, or those students who go out to live in apartments in their senior year, the best conditions in school are two-person rooms. This is

It turns out to be unimaginable!”

Isn’t it better to stay in a two-person room?!

Carter was speechless for a moment. He remembered that in his previous life, he went there once when his father was studying for a doctorate. Doctoral students usually lived in two-person rooms, with a bed and a table.

The size of the room is incomparable to the one I live in now. It looks almost exactly the same as an ordinary undergraduate dormitory, except that the four- or six-person room has been changed into a two-person room.

He silently complained in his heart that these people were so pretentious, but Carter didn't say anything more and just listened quietly.

"The decrease in the number of international students is a drop in the bucket for our current financial problems. It cannot solve it at all. I won't lie to you. Yale's current financial deficit is as high as 3 million, and it looks like it will increase this year."

"As the number of international students increases, the quality of education we can provide them will not be guaranteed. After these people graduate, they will have a negative impact on Yale in the long run. Moreover, we roughly calculated,

Our current tuition fee is about US dollars a year, and even if the tuition fee is higher for international students, the maximum they can receive is US$7,200, which is almost the limit.”

"We have to prepare part of the scholarships. For the full scholarship, we have to pay for the accommodation fee. The general scholarship covers the tuition fees. The rest is only to recruit 500 people, and there are almost 50 people with tuition fees. We can't earn it.

. In this way, the tuition fees for 500 people can generate an income of almost 3.24 million to fill our financial deficit."

"Not to mention that this is just a theoretical number, how do we solve the problem of food, accommodation and transportation for these 500 people? Just this year, there have been many complaints about the campus bus because too many people can't get on the bus. Okay.

Our main campus is not big and most of them can be walked, so this problem is okay. If you were to change it to Harvard, hey, we would have been scolded to death!"

"The problem of business can be solved carelessly. The problem of eating and dining. The excessive pressure in the canteen can be easily solved. After all, as long as people have needs, those who open restaurants outside will also be willing to come in and rent space. Oh, don't you have one?

HT? Why haven’t I seen you opening one in school?”

"I usually don't pay much attention to these specific matters, but I did find an HT store near the school. So now the only problem is accommodation, right? Plus, in terms of education, there may be too many people in the class, resulting in

The interactivity is reduced and the quality of the lectures is not that good.”

Shrugging, Carter was also thinking about this issue. In other words, Carter was thinking more.

As Rick once mentioned, if Yale decides to expand its enrollment of international students, then he will undoubtedly have considerable room for improvement!

China, which has just been reopened, is an excellent virgin land!

Of course, Carter is not coveting the small amount of money that the study abroad agency business may bring. That business is really not cost-effective! What Carter values ​​​​is people!

Who were the people in the 1980s and 1990s who were able to study abroad?

Either they are publicly funded international students, who are paid and appointed by the university or the Ministry of Education. There is nothing to say about the personal abilities of these people, at least in terms of academic abilities, right?!

Carter doesn't expect to blackmail the talents valued by the country, but after they go abroad, they have to live! In his previous life, Carter's father was a government-sponsored scholar, and he knows how much money is usually spent to study abroad at public expense.

The developed economy in the future will not be able to meet the needs of a slightly more comprehensive life, let alone this time.

Instead of letting these people wash dishes to earn living expenses, why not work for yourself!

In your own enterprise, put a group of kings in, just like some catfish, to stimulate the vitality of the entire enterprise. And, these people, they are really cheap.
