Chapter 786 The money the council can earn

Julian's suggestion was pertinent, but it failed to inspire Carter at all.

Everyone knows that doing things with the Council as the core, or doing things in the name of the Council, will bring about the best results. However, as a student public organization like the Yale Council, it can neither make any investments nor make any investments.

What business to do.

The only honest source of income is the operating funds drawn from paid service activities of student societies on campus. To use a very appropriate metaphor, it is like the nickname of the Board of Governors "Yale Undergraduate Government"!

For this kind of "government" institution, if you want to achieve results, you want to achieve results in a short period of time.

“We still have to work on some big projects!”

In early October, after completing the resignation of the chairman of HT and becoming an independent director; and after signing Ghoshal in advance as the general manager of Vision, Carter returned to school and completely shifted his work focus to

On school affairs.

In terms of business management, Carter at this time agreed very much with President Sloan's idea: the so-called senior managers only need to perform their three major functions well.

Designing the company's structure and selecting the company's information and control systems are the responsibility of a team of professional managers headed by Ghoshal. The only work left for them is to decide on the company's strategy!

As the saying goes: show the way!

It is enough to point out the direction of development. And this is also the job that can best utilize your advantages as a time traveler.

"Big project? What big project?"

In the board of directors' office, Rick, who had just finished class, was in no mood to pay attention to Carter's worries. He threw a folder in front of Carter:

"I just met Andrade on the way here, No, event approval."

"This should be given to Manfred! If the approval for any activity has to go through me, how the hell am I still alive?! Don't watch!"

Pushing the folder in front of Rick who had just sat down, Carter had no desire to open it.

The restless college students are extremely enthusiastic in organizing various activities.

And in the United States, a place that is sometimes called tolerant at best, but is called a mass of demons at worst, there are so many applications for various activities!

There are exchanges between enthusiasts, sharing of handicrafts, tea parties, etc. It’s all great!

But there are always some activities with political overtones, such as the debate between the Yale Democrats and the Yale Republicans on a recent policy, or the debate on a certain case.

The judicial adversarial nature of the Anglo-American legal system also has a particularly strong political transmission effect!

In addition to this kind of old traditional activities that love bonding, there are also some sub-cultural exchanges that look like a group of XP weirdos who apply for partying activities.

No matter whether they can pass or not, at least in terms of application, these students who are not afraid of tigers are really big on the scale!

Of course, there are not serious ones here. There are also some funding applications for small inventions.

As a result, a large number of activities cannot actually pass the review at all. Generally speaking, when the funds involved are not large, the approval work of some activities does not require Chairman Carter to personally check it. But in front of this.

"I know, but the funding Andrade is applying for this time is beyond his authority. They want $5,000."

"He might as well ask for fifty thousand!"

Of course, Carter knew that the application that Rick would bring to him would either be controversial about the content of the activity, or the funding would be exploding.

Just here.

"It's not like you don't know what I want to do now. If you want the council's funds now, it will cost me my life! Just reject him directly. Why did you bring him here?"

"This guy is also a blind person. The school season has just passed, and there is an autumn carnival immediately following. They are all bleeding projects, and he still applied for 5,000 at this time."

"Oh, who told you to be so famous at the end of last semester? Who doesn't know that the chairman is a rich man now? They all thought that applying for funds would be easier now."

After hanging out with Carter for a long time, Rick also fell in love with the term "rich".

"Let's not talk about it now. I only brought it here for procedural justice. Even if I refuse, it will appear more formal. Let's talk about something else. You just said, a big project?"

"I want to do some big projects with immediate results and make big noises. But it's difficult! The key is money! You can't do anything without money. No, this is after Tasia and the others went to the library and the Student Affairs Center.

results”

While talking, Carter picked up another folder on the table:

"Mr. Stevens and I have also discussed the issue of extending basic service hours on campus, and the core conflict lies in money! It is possible to extend the service hours of those librarians and clerks, either by paying them overtime pay or by expanding enrollment.

Staff, additional shifts, schools. In Mr. Stevens' words, there is simply no extra salary space to do this."

Carter, who debuted on the political stage for the first time, still has a lot of political integrity.

Carter has not forgotten these campaign promises.

"It's normal. After all, these teaching assistants have never been taken seriously. The school's salary budget is mostly prepared for professors. But these salaries themselves do not need to be paid by our council! You have to pay attention

This point, even if you make the council rich, you can't bear these expenses that we shouldn't bear!"

"I will definitely not care about the expenses of teaching assistants. At most, I will respond to the school more. But some canteens, some restaurants, shops, etc. I think as long as we can find a way to let them make money,

They probably won’t refuse to open for more hours, after all, who can’t live with money?”

"In that case, it can be considered that I have fulfilled the promise I made during the campaign! It's just that it has been compromised a bit. Only some of the campus facilities that serve students have been extended, but it's not that nothing has been done!"

As long as PTU loans can be disbursed, more consumption will flow to a series of commercial services on and off campus compared to the club activities organized from time to time.

Compared with students, those small businessmen outside are undoubtedly easier to talk to! If you don't make money, you are a bastard!

Just going around and around, the topic returned to its original starting point:

How to issue PTU loans, or in other words, how to gain everyone’s trust

"Rick, what project do you think is better? It shows that our current board of directors is different. It is really doing good things for the students! Or is it more profitable? Also, the board of directors can

Money earned!”

"The council can make money by being on campus, and it must at least sound more knowledgeable and high-sounding. I remember that last semester, didn't you visit professors in various departments and seemed to plan to hold open classes? Otherwise, use this class.

Come and collect the tickets?”

"If you want to make a name for yourself in Yale's open courses, you must use the name of Yale. It makes sense for the coordinator to be under the name of the Board of Directors, but the students don't seem to be able to participate. Even the top students probably have to go to the graduate school.

Only those who can serve as lecturers can serve as lecturers. Alternatively, you can communicate with the Graduate Student Senate to see how the income is divided between the two parties. We provide management and operations, and they provide content."
