Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 941 Student Grants
Without wasting too much time, after interacting with the students cordially for a while, and showing his good image of "being close to the people and loving the people", Wang Ye waved goodbye to everyone.

Before leaving, he joked that the graduation ceremony was about to begin, and if he was late, maybe the principal wouldn't issue him a diploma!
Although the joke was a bit cold, the students present still laughed cooperatively.

Everyone knows that even if he doesn't come today, it's impossible not to get his graduation certificate. After all, this is the "most promising" student who has graduated from Moda in the past 30 to [-] years!

Seriously, if at the graduation ceremony later, the principal announces that Wang Ye will be awarded an honorary doctorate, or even hired as a visiting professor, no one will be a little surprised!

Because he is worthy of……………

Watched by many students, the convoy started slowly and headed towards the main building of Mo University.

Today's graduation ceremony is held in the largest auditorium in the main building of Mo University.

…………

When Wang Ye arrived at the auditorium, the school leaders had already been waiting for a long time.

Although it was a little inappropriate for teachers to wait for students, obviously no one cared about this. Wang Ye's identity had long been separated from the category of ordinary students.

Not to mention ordinary teachers, even if the principal wants to see him, he has to make an appointment with Wang Ye's secretary in advance...

Therefore, the leaders and teachers in the school have long stopped treating Wang Ye as an ordinary student.

Seeing Wang Ye walking in under the guidance of the staff, the principal greeted him with a smile on his face.

After shaking hands with Wang Ye vigorously, he said with a smile, "Mikhail, apart from giving a speech as a graduate representative today, you have one more thing to discuss with you."

Wang Ye smiled and nodded, "What is it, please tell the principal."

"You have been selected as an outstanding alumnus of the school, you already know about this."

Wang Ye nodded, "The head of the department told me about it two days ago."

The principal continued: "But I heard that you haven't decided whether you want to continue your postgraduate study or not, have you?"

The head of the department did talk about this matter when he went to see Wang Ye a few days ago.

Of course, the dean of the department wants Wang Ye to continue to study at MOU until he graduates with a Ph.

But Wang Ye still hesitated.

It can be predicted that even if I continue to read, I don't have much time to come to class.

Of course, even if I miss one day of class, I can still graduate smoothly and get a doctorate.

But such a degree is nothing more than a false name. Not only can it not add any aura to oneself, it may even become a "weak spot" of oneself, which is used by political opponents to attack oneself!

Although such an attack does almost no damage...

"Yeah, I'm worried that I don't have much time. As you know, I've been busier and busier these two years. It's thanks to the teachers that I was able to successfully graduate from my undergraduate degree. When I get a master's degree, I always have to write a thesis and do scientific research. Projects or something..." Wang Ye said a bit embarrassed.

In fact, these are not problems for him, and he doesn't even need to say anything. Naturally, someone will help him get everything done.

But Wang Ye didn't think it was necessary anymore, and he didn't need that doctorate title.

Hearing what Wang Ye said, the principal nodded his head to express his understanding, and then he said: "Since you don't want to continue studying, then we won't force you. However, this doctorate is still required, let alone with your level, it is not inferior to any doctor. So, today I will award you an honorary doctorate, I hope you will not refuse!"

It turned out that he was waiting for Wang Ye here.

It seems that this Ph.D. Wang Ye can't do without it...

Wang Ye was not hypocritical, and smiled heartily: "That's great, you don't need to spend a few more years to get a doctor's degree. Naturally, I won't refuse such a good thing, thank you principal!"

Thinking about it is outrageous.

People in the same class as Wang Ye, such as Nalan Yaqi, Song Xiaogang, and his classmates.

Everyone entered the school in the same year, and others worked hard for four years, and they were still afraid of failing every exam.

In case of failure, it means at least an "expense" of US$[-] per subject!

In the end, there are still a considerable number of students who cannot successfully obtain their graduation certificates, and those who can graduate smoothly deserve to be applauded.

As for Wang Ye, he hardly showed his face in school in the past four years, but he graduated with excellent grades.

If it's just like this, then that's fine. What's even more outrageous is that everyone else graduated with a bachelor's degree today, but Wang Ye graduated with both a bachelor's degree and a doctor's degree at the same time...

You can call him "Dr. Wang" from now on...

Oh, that's not right, the man "Wang Ye" has disappeared in Russia, and now there is only Mikhail, so he should be called "Dr. Mikhail"!
…………

After the commencement of the graduation ceremony, Wang Ye came to the stage and gave a speech.

However, he didn't shout any fake slogans, nor did he talk about great principles. Instead, he chatted with everyone about future employment and development in a very down-to-earth manner.

Of course, he also told all the graduates in a positive tone that in the next few years, Russia, or more precisely, the two major cities of Moscow and Petersburg, will usher in a big wave of development!

Not only can it provide a large number of job opportunities, but also the best opportunity for everyone with dreams to develop their careers!
You know, every era has its opportunities.

In the ten years after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, those who worked in energy and finance seized the "opportunity" and made a lot of money.

Although this kind of behavior is not worth advocating and it is difficult to imitate, it can only be said that it is also created by a special era.

In the next ten years, a new wave of the times has arrived. Whether we can seize this opportunity depends on our respective abilities.

Because the opportunities provided to everyone this time are equal and open and transparent!
Every student here today, with their hard work and knowledge, can ride this wave of development!

Perhaps in another five or ten years, many entrepreneurs and upstarts in technology will be born among the students present...

…………

I have to say that the effect of this speech is still very good.

Originally, these fresh graduates were the age most likely to be excited. In addition, Wang Ye had a huge influence and appeal among his peers, and what he said was easier to be heard.

In addition, Wang Ye did not fool everyone.

A lot of what he said is actually happening, and everyone can see it!
For example, he has been promoting the low-rent housing project, which provides better and cheaper living conditions for the majority of graduates.

In the past few years, many large local Russian companies have also been booming. Even the annual school recruitment, the number of participating companies is much larger than before, and the positions and salaries provided are also increasing year by year visible to the naked eye!

This change in the general environment and the overall vigorous and upward development atmosphere can be felt by every college student.

Many graduates at the scene basically plan to stay and work in Moscow, and most of them have already found suitable jobs.

Anyway, this is a great place, the highest institution of higher learning in all of Russia, none of them!

Therefore, if the graduates of Moda are not too unpopular in their majors, they still don't worry about their jobs.

On the Russian side, the only super metropolis is Moscow, and even Petersburg cannot be compared!

Graduates of Moda University, if they don't plan to study abroad, they will naturally stay and work in Moscow, and they don't like other cities...

…………

At today's graduation ceremony, Wang Ye also brought a gift to his alma mater, Mo Da.

He announced on the spot that he would donate [-] million US dollars to set up a student fund!
There are two types of reward objects for this fund, one is students with poor family conditions.

In every university, there are actually quite a few such students. Wang Ye knew several Russian college students of this kind in his "previous life".

Because of their poor family background, even though they were admitted to university, some outstanding students even received scholarships, free of tuition and accommodation fees.

But even so, I still have to do part-time jobs in my spare time to earn living expenses.

After all, this is Moscow, life is not easy!

Many people may think that Russians are free from elementary school to university, but this is actually a misunderstanding.

It is true that all state schools are free from elementary school to high school, but not college.

Each national university also has some free places, but it is difficult for ordinary students to get them, and they need particularly outstanding ones.

For example, if you participated in the Olympiad and won an award in high school, you can apply for a university scholarship, free of tuition and accommodation fees.

Most of the other students have to pay tuition fees, but their fees are much lower than those of foreign students.

It is about one-third of the cost of foreign students.

That is to say, if a Chinese student studying in Moda University for one year needs a minimum of $[-] for tuition plus accommodation and living expenses, then the old Maozi student needs a minimum of around $[-].

At that time, this amount of money was definitely a huge sum of money for most Russian families!

Therefore, students from poor families have to do odd jobs to earn money in their spare time in order to earn tuition and living expenses.

Now the fund established by Wang Ye is to provide help for such students with poor economic conditions!

Let them spend more time on their studies, and don't waste their precious time on odd jobs for tuition and living expenses.

In fact, there is no need for too much funding. The annual stipend of [-] US dollars per student is enough.

The fund grants [-] scholarships to such impoverished students every year!

Don't think that the number of places is too small. You must know that the fund donated by Wang Ye is only open to the school of Moda, and has nothing to do with other schools!
And there are probably less than 5000 new students from all majors in Moda every year, which is almost one-tenth of the quota, not a lot!
…………

The fund will also reward another category of students, that is, those who performed particularly well during school!
This has nothing to do with the student's financial situation. Everything depends on your academic performance. As long as your grades are good enough, even if you are a rich second generation, you can still enjoy this scholarship.

And this kind of scholarship is relatively high, starting at [-] U.S. dollars, and there is no upper limit!
If there is a student who can win a Nobel Prize or something during school, the scholarship awarded to him by the fund may be more than the Nobel Prize...

Of course, it's almost impossible for this to happen.

There is no quota limit for this type of award. As long as the conditions are met, you can get the scholarship, and there is still no cap!
Calculated in this way, in fact, the annual expenditure of this fund is not high, maybe two to three million U.S. dollars.

Wouldn't it take decades to spend a $[-] million fund!
If the fund is deposited in the bank to earn some interest, or if there is some income from financial management, it is almost impossible to spend it all!
This is exactly the purpose of Wang Ye.

The money he donated is not for the school to spend all at once, but for the fund to exist for a long time, so that the students who enter the school after many years can also enjoy the benefits brought by him as an "old senior" Welfare!
To be honest, although MoU was considered a world-renowned school at that time, it was often ranked among the top ten in the world.

But that relies on the previous "old background".

After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Mo Da was also in a state of desperation. The annual budget was not high, so it could only be said to barely maintain the operation of the school.

So Wang Ye's donation of [-] million US dollars is like sending charcoal in a timely manner.

Ever since he said he wanted to donate money, the principal and the school leaders have never closed their mouths...

…………

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Although all the people present were graduates, they probably wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits brought by Wang Ye.

But everyone is still happy for their alma mater and for their juniors, because with this fund, it is foreseeable that MODA will become better in the future.

At the same time, everyone has really seen what it means to be truly rich and powerful!

[-] million dollars...

This may be a huge amount of wealth that all the graduates present will not be able to earn in their lifetime!
Of course, to get rid of Wang Ye himself...

And Wang Ye donated it casually, and even specifically told the principal not to use his name as the title, obviously because he didn't want everyone to think he was trying to gain fame.

It is a great honor for everyone to be in the same class as such a person!
…………

Donating [-] million U.S. dollars to set up a student fund is something Wang Ye has prepared in advance.

It's just that I didn't inform the school in advance, so it was a "surprise" for the school!

So far, the effect is quite good.

With a bright smile on his face, the principal came to the stage to hug Wang Ye, and raised Wang Ye's hand to let him enjoy the thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.

After the audience calmed down, the principal announced logically that Wang Ye would be awarded an honorary doctorate and officially elected as an outstanding alumnus!
These are all intended, so no one is surprised or unreasonable or anything...
