I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 760 - 758

Upon hearing Zhang Menglong's words, Principal Chen and Han Jinyu exchanged glances, certain that Zhang Menglong was up to no good again.

"Academician Zhang, what are your demands?"

"Although our school cannot compare with your esteemed institution or Jiangnan University, we are definitely renowned in the province."

"Indeed, compared to vocational schools and junior colleges, our schools have the advantage in both faculty strength and student quality!"

"To be honest, my demands are not high," Zhang Menglong said. "Frankly, your faculty strength and student quality are of little significance to me!"

Zhang Menglong continued, "Of course, I am not insulting your students. In our current teaching model, teaching your students, a pig, or a dog, there's hardly any difference, whether they are from key schools or vocational colleges."

"Secondly, I do not mean to belittle your teachers. Should your teachers' academic achievements and abilities be brought to our school, at best they would turn 100 into 100.01. Such an improvement is of little significance to us!"

These words directly shattered the defenses of those principals.

Zhang Menglong's every statement started with not meaning to insult or look down on them, but the second half of his sentences sounded like utter contempt and disdain.

What was crucial was that they found themselves without room for rebuttal. After taking a tour around the school, they realized that, damn it, it was indeed the truth. How frustrating is that?

"Academician Zhang, what exactly are your demands?"

"Two words: obey!" Zhang Menglong said without hesitation. "Since it's a merger, obviously your school's original name cannot be preserved. All staffing must be reorganized and redefined. All colleges must merge with ours. Of course, if we do not have certain majors and colleges, they can be rebuilt on your original foundations."

"Absolutely not!" As far as they were concerned, a merger meant a nominal amalgamation, like becoming an affiliated college of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology with minimal change to administration and staffing. That way, they would be merged in name, but practically, they could still run their own show.

It was like the former Jiangnan City that was surrounded by many county-level cities. After the merger, it, in essence, retained a certain degree of autonomy.

In layman's terms, the people from the county-level cities disdained being counted as citizens of Jiangnan City and the old district residents of Jiangnan City didn't acknowledge them either, with significant differences in housing prices as well.

But Zhang Menglong meant to integrate these schools completely, dissolving leadership teams and colleges. Even if the original names were retained, they would be, in name only, utterly meaningless.

"Academician Zhang, your demands are overly aggressive!"

"Indeed, you are driving our schools to a dead end!"

"We can agree to all other conditions, but this one is not acceptable!"

"Then it will be difficult for us to continue our discussion," Zhang Menglong shrugged his shoulders. His sole demand for the school was to have all administrative control in his hands.

Zhang Menglong's teaching resources all came from Super God Academy. If the school management were lax, it could lead to unforeseen situations, such as some students using knowledge acquired from Super God Academy to engage in anti-human or anti-race activities.

Although Zhang Menglong could easily clean up these people, it would still cause him trouble. At a time when humans faced other potential dangers, being distracted by internal strife would be beyond irritating.

"However, I would like to ask one thing: do you make the decisions for your school?" Zhang Menglong twisted the knife in further.

The principals were momentarily stunned. Of course, the school wasn't solely under the rulership of the principals; otherwise, what was the difference from a dictatorship?

There were committees in the school, such as the party and academic committees, and individuals with senior professional titles had voting rights on major decisions. That meant, if others agreed, even if the principal disagreed, as long as a certain majority was reached, the matter was out of the principal's hands.

"Teacher Han, has the message been conveyed?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Yeah, I've already notified everyone about this in the group," Zhang Menglong said.

"Group? What group?" The presidents were taken aback.

"Oh, it's the equipment reservation group for the entire higher education park."

"Equipment reservation group?" They still didn't grasp what this group was all about.

"Doesn't our university have a lot of scientific research equipment? We haven't set up online reservations yet; it's all done through offline bookings," Han Jinyu explained, "This group contains contact information for the heads of all the project teams throughout the higher education park."

"What?" All the presidents panicked at once. "Does that mean that all the senior and associate senior staff from every school in the higher education park are in this group?"

If they were to pass this message along, the entire higher education park would be in uproar!

You should know that not long ago, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology had posted a recruitment notice, seeking faculty from across the nation and even the world.

The perks they were offering were astonishing, completely dedicated to the mission of improving the treatment of scientific research personnel.

You should know that even an ordinary full professor barely took home a basic salary of seven to eight thousand a month, and that's in a near-first-tier city like Jiangnan City.

Once this message got out, schools all around the world experienced a major jumping ship of their teaching staff.

Of course, the number of positions was very limited, and most teachers from those other schools didn't even qualify to have their resumes screened, let alone envy the establishment positions at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.

If those senior and associate senior staff found out about this, they would overwhelmingly support it with both hands and feet!

Not only would they get to enjoy the scientific research resources of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology from then on, but their compensation would also be more than ten times what it was—they'd be crazy not to want it!

If they knew that their presidents had rejected this requirement, it would be ten times worse than a grudge for killing one's father!

"Professor Han, what exactly did you tell them?" The presidents asked cautiously.

"Oh, I just told them about the merger," Han Jinyu took out his phone and, in front of them, sent another voice message to the group.

"Sorry, everyone. The message before was incorrect. Right now, your presidents are here with us, requesting to cancel the merger, and we're under a lot of pressure, so we're considering giving up on the idea of merging," he said.

"Whoosh!" The message was sent out immediately.

At that moment, everyone's faces turned dark.

Sure enough, less than a minute after the message was sent, the phones of all the presidents began to ring one after another.

The presidents looked at each other, none wanting to be the first to answer the phone, already dreading that in a little while, even their family members, listed on or not on their household registration books, might be receiving some "friendly" inquiries!

"President, what the hell is going on? Have you lost your mind? To turn down such a great opportunity to merge with Jiangnan University of Science and Technology?"

"You're giving up? You've got the nerve to secure some of their equipment for us then! Idiot, you push us daily for scientific results? We don't even have proper equipment, and you're pushing us? Fine, we can stay separate, but from now on, you'd better not mention anything about scientific achievements!"

"XXX, have you taken leave of your senses? Do we, the faculty, owe you something? Fine, if you refuse to merge, then we quit!"
