Everyone burst into laughter.
Ma Ning, from the Education Bureau, pondered for a moment, then reminded Lin Yifeng of this unrealistic idea.
"Young Master Lin, putting everything else aside, we are all familiar with the universities that remain in Muye City."
"Besides the two undergraduate institutions, the other three apply every year."
"Opening a university is easy, but recruiting students takes time. It's this thing that takes more than ten years to accumulate, so it's impossible to get it done in the first place."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room let out a long sigh.
Now that we've entered an era of "going into business," the burden on their shoulders is by no means light.
Besides their daily work, a considerable number of people seek their help through connections. These people come from various industries, and frankly speaking, it's a tough situation.
It's not just in terms of opening a normal restaurant business, but it's also extremely difficult to do anything else.
Lin Yifeng took advantage of the good opportunity, having settled everything last year and gotten to know this group of people.
Others who don't resemble Lin Yifeng, if they want to open a shop, they simply can't get through the process every three to six months, let alone those who also want to open a supermarket.
This spring alone, the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Education Bureau have been extremely busy, dealing with all sorts of people, from shop owners to schools complaining of poverty.
Not to mention Ma Ning and Zhao Youming, even Zhou Zhengcheng, who came from the procuratorate, was so busy he was dizzy.
After a group of people complained about the environment this year, Zhang Guochen and Ye Wuzheng stood out from the crowd.
Their two systems are usually fine, but if something happens to them, it will definitely not be a small matter.
After a brief chat, Zhang Guochen, as an outsider, also raised a question from his own perspective.
"Why don't these five universities unite?"
“They’re all in the south and north of the city, fighting each other every day.”
"It's like they're from five major factions, even though they're all from our Makino City education system."
Ye Wuzheng shrugged and explained from the side.
"The five of them are all in the same system and are in a competitive relationship. What do you know? You didn't study in high school."
Zhang Guochen scratched his head awkwardly.
He belongs to the military and works within the military system, which is completely different from their traditional political system, and there are no educational requirements.
Although Zhang Guochen also had a diploma from the military academy, he rarely went there. He only went for a year, and it was just a formality. He knew absolutely nothing about school affairs.
Ma Ning, who came from the Education Bureau, rolled her eyes and coldly mocked.
"You want to unite these five universities? Aren't you trying to kill them?"
"I would be incredibly grateful if those five universities could sit at the same table and eat together."
"It will save us from all this trouble."
This isn't something Ma Ning is bragging about.
Makino City itself is not very big, and university students are even scarcer. The five schools are always competing fiercely with each other. If a student from outside the province applies, they would fight tooth and nail to get him.
Expecting these five universities to peacefully share educational resources is like believing Ma Ning to be Qin Shi Huang.
When Zhang Guochen asked this question, the others offered explanations.
Lin Yifeng, however, rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
After a moment, he looked at the people in the room and asked tentatively.
"What do you think? How about I get the whole university town?"
The room fell into a deathly silence.
All six people's eyes were fixed on Lin Yifeng, and their expressions became somewhat strange.
Their bigger problem now is not the idea Lin Yifeng proposed.
"Brother-in-law? What's a university town?"
Ye Wu was blinking, showing great interest in the word Lin Yifeng had suggested.
Lin Yifeng was slightly taken aback, only then realizing that the concept of a university town didn't exist back then.
After his explanation, everyone fell into thought.
The concept of a university town is quite simple: it involves concentrating the resources of undergraduate, junior college, and vocational schools from across the city in one area, creating a consumer group primarily composed of university students.
Although the general public's income was not high at this time, the spending power of college students was actually not low.
Because of their small numbers and the support from the government, all of these students who are admitted to universities are high achievers and enjoy various tuition subsidies and scholarships.
Rather than saying that in later generations students used tuition fees to support universities, it would be more accurate to say that now the state supports universities, and universities support their students.
"This isn't like starting a university."
"Young Master Lin, are you getting into the real estate business?"
Zhao Youming gasped, quickly realizing the essence of the problem.
Lin Yifeng nodded silently beside him, confirming Zhao Youming's idea.
Upon hearing the word "real estate," the expressions of everyone in the room changed drastically.
"Don't touch this."
Ma Ning looked serious and spoke up to remind Lin Yifeng.
Zhang Guochen and Qian Feng also shook their heads vehemently, disagreeing with Lin Yifeng's idea.
It's not because this thing costs too much money, but because it's completely incompatible with current policies.
After the top leader inspected the south in 1992, a serious bubble economy emerged in the real estate-related industries in the south, and all kinds of unfinished buildings made the news.
Generally speaking, if you want to make money by "going into business," you should follow national policies. Lin Yifeng, however, is definitely doing the opposite.
Of course, Lin Yifeng's thinking about this was mainly related to policy.
Since the emergence of the economic bubble, the government has begun to regulate and supervise the market this year, which has caused real estate prices to plummet.
