"You want to build a university?"
Chu Wen gasped and was shocked speechless. She didn't know what was wrong with Lu Hao to suddenly come up with such an idea.
"Crazy, too much money to burn?"
She added subconsciously.
Building a university is not an easy task. Good universities are supported by state financial subsidies, while bad universities rely on sucking the blood of students to make a living. There has never been a precedent of a private university being established as a first-class university in China. As for foreign countries, there are some, but they all have mature alumni donation systems.
Lu Hao was a little surprised by her shock and nodded calmly.
"Yeah, it's just that the money is too much."
But I was silently complaining in my heart, thinking that after spending these 10 billion, if you are lucky enough to draw the golden scale grass, you will know how worthwhile the money is.
"I support it. Starting a school is a good thing. You want to start a professional university in film and television, right?"
Xiao Meng was doing yoga with a flushed face and sweat all over her forehead. She raised her hand to join in the conversation and showed great interest in the matter.
In fact, being a teacher has always been one of her life ideals.
It would be best if it is a kindergarten teacher, but a university teacher would also be fine.
"Yes, I plan to teach in small classes, using the traditional master-apprentice model of traditional craftsmen. I won't recruit students from undergraduate sources, but from outstanding graduates. The curriculum will be designed to meet the standards of graduate or doctoral students. In fact, in the early stages, it will be more like a research laboratory."
The film and television industry still has its own particularities and is not very suitable for the "big pot" teaching model. Many of the things that relevant practitioners have learned in school now are also seriously lagging behind, and many skills are only honed bit by bit after work.
As for research in cutting-edge fields and related theoretical research, it lags far behind practice by many years.
Under normal circumstances, research is based on theory guiding practice.
But in the film and television industry, only after a work becomes popular will a large number of people begin to study how it became popular.
This is indeed a correct approach, but the result is the serious homogeneity of works and the phenomenon of following trends.
Since it’s about spending money anyway, Lu Hao also wants to explore the possibility of another model.
"Oh, this isn't a university. It's just a department at best. If you want to do it, then go ahead. I fully support you."
After listening to Lu Hao's words, Chu Wen thought about it and expressed her agreement.
This is certainly a good thing.
Apart from anything else, the cultivation of a talent pool is a huge thing.
Lu Hao nodded, sat on the sofa, and continued to think about this matter while playing with his son and daughter.
There's nothing wrong with running a university, but after thinking about it, there's still one thing...
money!
It's not that it's not enough, it's that it's too much.
The development of a university is a long-term process. It is impossible to spend 10 billion yuan in a year. At most, if half of it can be spent, it would be quite good.
This won't work.
The money is not going away fast enough.
After thinking about it, the fastest and best way is to invest and buy a company.
There are three types of financial freedom. The lowest level is supermarket freedom, which means you can buy whatever you want in the supermarket. The next level is car-buying freedom, which means you can buy any car you want. The highest level is company freedom.
If you want to buy from any company, place an order directly.
However, Lu Hao certainly cannot afford to buy those companies worth tens of billions of dollars for the time being, and there is no need to do so. He also does not want to consider listed companies as they are too troublesome.
The goal is still to set a valuation of less than one billion US dollars, with certain development potential and industry reputation, preferably an international film company or special effects company.
Thinking of this, Lu Hao immediately sent a message to Wang Hui, asking her to collect relevant information and send a report to him.
Just one word, buy!
DreamWorks and Dream Video actually bought quite a few companies before, but they were all for copyright, and they were all domestic, not very large in size, and they were basically bought in the form of equity participation, so their actions were relatively restrained.
And now, Lu Hao has opened the valve and is ready to spend his fortune in a big way.
What is it like to spend 5 billion at one time?
He really wanted to experience what it was like to experience this.
…
While the matter of buying a company is still under investigation, Lu Hao has already put the establishment of a university on the agenda.
Establishing a private university with full capital is very difficult in terms of policies, and the national approval process is also quite long. So after careful consideration, Lu Hao chose to take a roundabout way to save the country.
We will jointly run schools under the name of DreamWorks with existing film, television and media universities.
It would be much easier to set up a branch under the name of an existing communication university.
After all, school-enterprise cooperation is a very normal thing. Many well-known universities have done this, including Peking University and Tsinghua University, which even have special departments.
Since it is a film and television school, the first ones that caught Lu Hao's sight were naturally the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy and the Magic City Film and Television Academy.
These two schools can be said to be the Shaolin and Wudang of the media industry, one in the south and one in the north, each occupying half of the market and cultivating countless outstanding actors and directors.
The main reason is that the starting point is too high.
Every year when these two schools recruit students, there are always a large number of applicants, including all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women. The enrollment alone can attract countless reporters and even make headlines.
With Chu Wen's help, Lu Hao planned to talk to the leaders of the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy first.
"I……"
"I suddenly thought of something."
"You're running a school... aren't you thinking of something else?"
On the way to the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy, Chu Wen couldn't help but ask a question, but she seemed a little hesitant.
Lu Hao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her with a puzzled expression: "What else?"
Chu Wen blushed slightly.
"It's okay."
She took the initiative to end the topic.
She now feels more and more that Lu Hao's behavior and thoughts are unpredictable. The feeling of telepathy they had before seems to have gradually faded. She doesn't know whether she can't keep up with Lu Hao's growth or if life is just like this.
Xiao Meng enjoys this state very much. After all, this is her comfort zone. She never interferes with Lu Hao's work and just takes care of the family peacefully.
But for Chu Wen, this situation made her feel a little panicked for some reason.
Lu Hao drove the car steadily for a long way before he suddenly remembered what she wanted to say. He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and asked directly.
"Do you suspect that I might transform into Principal Lu, who is worse than an animal?"
Chu Wen had just calmed down, but now her face turned a little red with embarrassment after hearing these words.
This suspicion is totally groundless and unreasonable.
How did I become like this?
She subconsciously asked herself this question.
