Having once again grasped the key point through the words and deeds of these school principals, Young Master Wang felt even more confident.
Facing the seemingly benevolent principal, Wang Zheng slowly retorted:
"You don't need to be so quick to label me, and even threaten the foundation of China? That's utter nonsense!"
If it was really that serious, why didn't you stop me on the spot? Why did you have to come to the Education Bureau and complain afterwards? It seems a bit petty.
As for the consequences you mentioned, it's nothing more than Nanjing University's future enrollment quantity and quality will increase, and its strength will be stronger. What impact could that have? It's a good thing..."
Seeing that the other person's face turned red from being ridiculed, and that he seemed about to speak again out of resentment, Wang Zheng quickly waved his hand to stop him:
"You are Principal Zhu of Huazhong Normal University, right? Speaking of admissions, I actually have a question that I have to ask."
I'm young and inexperienced, and I say whatever comes to mind. If I've said anything wrong, I apologize to all the elders and ask for your understanding..."
Wang Zheng paused at this point.
"Let's talk about the Nanjing University subsidy for freshmen. Logically speaking, even if these freshmen don't come to Nanjing University because of the reward, they wouldn't be able to come to your school either."
There are only so many naturally awakened people each year. Ninety-nine percent of the awakened people in the country have already been swept up by the two companies in the capital and Shanghai. Why are you principals so excited?
You are all senior figures with countless students and profound wisdom. Could it be that you have been used as pawns?
Moreover, everyone should know very well what has been going on all these years, including Nanjing University. Who hasn't been struggling? We had no resources and no students. Now that Nanjing University has set this precedent, it's a good thing.
If everyone follows suit, hiring more capable people and fewer incapable ones, things won't get any worse than they are now.
Why is Nanjing University now being portrayed as the bad guy? Or are the university presidents simply very satisfied with the development of their own institutions?
Wang Zheng's words immediately singled out Nanjing University and placed these two prestigious universities in opposition to all other schools.
That's just the truth. The reason these university presidents are so indignant now is simply because they feel they don't have the qualifications to compete with Nanjing University, and they're just jealous.
Upon hearing Wang Zheng's suggestion to shift the blame, Fang Zhenxing and Yan Kaifu immediately changed their expressions.
When President Fang of the Imperial University saw that Wang Zheng had pushed his own school out to take the blame, he was furious.
"Little guy, don't spout nonsense and sow discord. The resources the country allocates each year are fixed. It's already quite difficult to just barely keep going. Where would we get extra resources to train new students?"
Seeing Fang Zhenxing's cooperation, Wang Zheng's smile widened even more.
"Principal Fang makes a lot of sense. In previous years, the quota was indeed fixed, but..."
I have some data here showing the resource allocation of major universities last year.
Roughly converted into education funds, universities in Beijing cost 450 billion yuan, while universities in Shanghai cost 430 billion yuan.
Our Nanjing University barely made it into third place, with a mere 180 billion.
Tsk tsk tsk, this is what I earned myself after winning first place in the challenge. It seems the Demon Exchange only has 120 billion? And this is the share after winning against the Capital.
This situation makes one wonder: with such a large discrepancy, where did the resources allocated by the Ministry of Education go?
If Nanjing University's School of Diplomacy is like this, I believe that even at South China Normal University, where President Zhu is located, there are even fewer.
If that's the case, why haven't we seen President Fang apply to voluntarily reduce the resource allocation of Beijing University and share more with our friendly universities all these years?
I see that the resources at the Imperial Capital University are more than enough to use up. Even a mere E-level freshman doesn't care about spiritual energy crystals anymore. I saw this with my own eyes on my very first day in the Imperial Capital.
Why don't you show some generosity now and lend a hand to everyone?
Hearing Wang Zheng's sophistry and his reliance on isolated cases, Fang Zhenxing was furious. He was about to retort when the cunning Yan Kaifu blocked his way.
These two are now in the same camp and are both considered resource tycoons by Wang Zheng, so he naturally can't watch Fang Zhenxing fall into Wang Zheng's verbal trap.
So he added with a smile.
"How about we start this year? Nanjing University is number one this year, so it should take the largest share. Since you're so generous, Wang Zheng, why don't you set an example and we'll all follow suit from now on?"
Upon seeing this smiling tiger, Wang Zheng immediately raised an eyebrow.
That old man is really wicked, but if he thinks he can just block Wang Dashao's escape route with this, then he's underestimating him.
Young Master Wang didn't follow the usual script and agreed immediately.
"Great, that's a good thing, but how to distribute it is a problem. If some families get more and some get less, there will inevitably be disputes later."
How about this: I suggest that educational resources be evenly distributed among the 39 schools nationwide each year?
Students from all over the country will be recruited locally. Future martial arts tournaments will be treated as exhibition matches; everyone can sit back and share the spoils. There's no need for life-or-death struggles; let's work together for a win-win situation!
Wang Zheng's words immediately caused an uproar, and nearly half of the school principals subsequently switched sides...
Yes, these principals who were initially angrily denouncing Chu Tianxing for breaking the rules have betrayed them.
Although Wang Zheng was joking, what if it actually came true?
No matter how you look at it, it's a sure thing for them. Besides, the fact that Nanjing University is distributing resources doesn't really affect schools like theirs that are ranked at the bottom. They're just here to join in the fun and be bystanders.
Now that they hear there are benefits, they'll naturally flock to whoever benefits them, right? Supporting anyone is the same to them, isn't it?
When Yan Kaifu saw that Wang Zheng spoke so concisely and without any beating around the bush, and Chu Tianxing remained silent, Yan Kaifu's heart skipped a beat.
Although he still suspected that Wang Zheng was just trying to force him to give up by using a self-destructive tactic, he couldn't think of any reason to refute it and could only stand there awkwardly.
Just kidding, we can put the issue of resources aside for now, but the issue of student enrollment is a matter of life and death for these two prestigious universities.
If they agree to this rashly, their advantage as students at Magic University will vanish.
Before Yan Kaifu could figure out how to respond, Wang Zheng launched a new offensive.
Suddenly, Young Master Wang stood up and said righteously:
"No, that's not enough!"
I've just thought about it carefully, and if resources are simply allocated equally each year, it won't be of much help to the lower-ranked schools.
How about this, Nanjing University will take the lead and voluntarily open up the campus warehouse. Let's all bring out all our resources and divide them up cleanly at once, okay?
That way, the problem will be solved once and for all, and no one will be able to say anything unfair. I, Wang Zheng, always strive for fairness in everything I do!
