Chapter 709 A New Trade Route
Chapter 709 A new trade route
Thanks to the blessing of his previous life, Carter just opened his mouth to write a short composition in Mandarin.
His face is not red and he is not breathless.
It's just that in the face of a real politician like Jimmy Carter, he said this.
"Can you please say something humane? This is my office and no one else is here."
He glared at Carter with black lines on his head. Mr. Renzong's eyes were quite like an elder looking at a naughty junior.
"It's just that Yale University's finances are a bit tight right now. It should be said that it's very tight. And since I just took office, I also want to do something and get some results to prove myself."
"I know that the Yale Board of Trustees has nothing to do with the school's financial revenue, right?"
It's what people say, but this is a new explanation. Renzong understands it if you listen to it alone, but you can put it together.
Is it Carter that you stretched your hand too far, or is there no one at Yale?! We need your help to solve this kind of thing?!
"Normally speaking, it doesn't matter, but who wants me to be greedy? I was in Connecticut back then."
After the hilarious greetings, Carter sat down on the sofa opposite Renzong's desk and slowly told the story of the ins and outs of the establishment of B-5 Police Company.
Due to security issues, a student at Yale University was killed and even put himself in danger.
Back then, no, it should be said that the current public security in New Haven is not very good. This is more or less the fault of Renzong. Who made Kangzhou a blue state, and the bad situation in those years was also caused by Mr. Renzong.
What about under his rule?
Carter's words did not intentionally lead in this direction. They were just normal narratives. Carter did not expect whether he could stir up the guilt in Renzong's heart. There is the best, but he can accept it if he doesn't!
"Due to Yale's financial problems at that time, the school was unable to come forward to order our security management services. This directly led to a very embarrassing situation now, that is, the current B-5 police can only give people the image of community police.
.As residents of the Yale community, they purchase products on their own, which is not conducive to the development of this company."
"I want to promote this change during my term in office. Transforming B-5 from the community police in people's minds to a professional campus police service organization. Increased professionalism will not only better ensure campus security, but also
Accumulated a lot of experience, provided different security packages for schools of different specifications, and used them in the future
Police officers can move on a large scale. For example, where there is recent instability, especially in border areas, our police officers can mobilize reinforcements from other areas at any time. This can also avoid gathering a large number of people in one place during normal times, causing a waste of resources. Also
This avoids the disadvantage of being unable to respond quickly in special circumstances."
"Of course, this is just an idea. To achieve this step, it is necessary to win over Yale's market first. Only if the school comes forward to purchase, can we openly include the name of Yale University in our customer list.
.If we win Yale, we are not far away from winning Southern Connecticut State University and the University of New Haven!"
"By winning the university market in New Haven, we can continue to move towards Hartford, and then use Connecticut as a springboard to radiate the entire Ivy League!"
"So you are so active in finding international students for Yale because you want to reach an exchange agreement with the Vice President Stevens you mentioned? You help them get international students. After Yale makes money, it will be unified in the name of the school.
Purchasing your services?”
Tapping his fingers on the table, Renzong was thinking about the information revealed in Carter's words.
When it comes to guilt, Renzong feels a little guilty. After all, he was indeed unable to reverse the situation when he was in office. But as a person who is keen on political activities, Renzong's considerations are not that simple.
For a person who wants to do something, he often thinks about problems and subconsciously thinks about the feasibility. After thinking about it for a while, Renzong suddenly discovered that Carter seemed to have really picked a market.
Campus police!
This police force has a short history in the United States. As of 1968, except for Oregon, the remaining 49 states have passed legislation allowing colleges and universities to have their own police teams. From a legal and judicial perspective,
Officially marks the popularization and full establishment of campus police.
But this is only a legal permission for colleges and universities to build their own police stations, and they have a police team that belongs to the employees of the school. But in fact, not many colleges and universities have campus police stations!
And the ingredients are not uniform.
Early American universities, until the 1940s, were similar to Chinese universities. Those responsible for campus safety were security guards or security guards, and these people did not have law enforcement powers.
Then, with the end of World War II, a large number of retired soldiers returned to school, and historically speaking, there was a wave of newborn babies after the war. This group of people poured into major universities in large numbers around the 1960s. Campus Security
The pressure on all sides suddenly increased!
At the same time, the anti-war movement, the hippie movement, and the black movement took place frequently.
During the transition from the 1940s to the 1950s, the pressure faced by the security of colleges and universities only increased as the scope of management increased and the pressure increased. Many colleges and universities responded by hiring retired soldiers or retired police officers.
In the 1960s and 1970s, anti-war demonstrations spread to colleges and universities. A small number of security guards were unable to effectively deter some extreme demonstrators.
It was not until this period that each state passed legislation allowing colleges and universities to establish their own police teams with law enforcement powers. Until now, the time span has not even been twenty years!
During this period, although a large number of universities have legal permission to establish police forces, they do not have the strength, or the need, to establish their own police forces.
After all, the cost of raising a police force is not low! And if you want to obtain the power of law enforcement, you must have the necessary training, study, and examinations. This is much more expensive than hiring a security guard!
According to Jimmy Carter's understanding, only 30% of public schools have their own police departments; among private schools, this proportion is less than 10%.
The market gap is huge!
Moreover, American colleges and universities now have campus security systems built on multiple systems such as campus police systems, security systems, and employment security systems.
There is no legal prohibition on purchasing services provided by third-party campus security service providers?!
Maybe we can actually find a new route for Carter?!
"There is no agreement. This is business, but it is not business!"
Hearing Mr. Renzong's question, Carter did not expect that Renzong would think of so many things in an instant.
"I am a businessman, and I will not fail to make a profit. But besides being a businessman, I am also a Yale man, right? If there is a time when I can contribute to my alma mater, I will be happy to do it. This is the same as me.
There is no conflict with thinking about doing this business."
"There is no causal relationship between the two. Even if Yale does not purchase my services, if I can help recruit a sufficient number of international students, I will do so. But objectively speaking, there are only enough international students coming to Yale.
Then Yale can have that amount of funds that may be used to order security services!”
Chapter completed!
