The old principal soon sent back the news, and in Song Weiyang's expectation, Taurus Business School wanted to obtain the qualification for a master's degree, which was purely a daydream, and it was impossible for at least two or three years!

A leader in the education department gave Song Weiyang two choices: one was to affix Taurus Business School under the name of a regular university and become an independent college with private investment (three universities), but could only issue a graduation certificate to students, and the degree certificate needed to be issued by affiliated units; the other was to register Taurus Business School as an educational and training institution, which was no different from New Oriental, Lan Xiang and others.

No matter what kind of school you are registered as, the leader can help you get out and his attitude is very enthusiastic. Because he is also a student of the old principal, he can be regarded as a fellow disciple of the same school with Song Weiyang, and by the way he can also take this opportunity to establish a personal relationship with Song Weiyang.

Although China has begun the reform of education industrialization since the mid-1990s, the gap in diplomas has not been released, and it is all in the hands of regular universities.

Another time and space, the Yangtze Business School is an exception. It took several years to obtain diploma qualifications and was unable to become a private college. It can only maintain the attributes of a "non-profit educational institution".

The first private university in New China should be West Lake University led by local governments, initiated by many academic giants, and sponsored by many wealthy people (the opening ceremony was accompanied by 5 Nobel winners, more than 70 domestic and foreign presidents, and nearly 100 donors including Xiao Ma Ge).

Even with such a deep background, West Lake University was just a private research institute at the beginning, and it was approved to establish a private university for three years. After it was completed, it could not recruit undergraduate students, but directly recruit doctoral students. It was too difficult to run a comprehensive private university in China.

Song Weiyang asked the leader to discuss it and made it clear that he did not want to run a third-tier university. The other party suggested that he set up an educational and training institution first, to build software (teachership) and hardware (site equipment), and then apply for a master's degree qualification after creating social influence.

After the basic development direction was determined, Song Weiyang immediately set off for the Special Administrative Region to hire the dean for Taurus Business School, and attend the "Ma Shi Huangpu First Phase Teachers and Students" gathering.

Who is the first dean that Song Weiyang likes?

It was Xiang Bing, the first dean of the Changjiang Business School in history.

It’s not just that I want to be unable to get along with Li Chaoren, but that I only have this choice, and it’s the most suitable person to search all over China.

So far, only two universities in China have opened emba classes, specializing in serving high-end business management talents.

Peking University was the first to try it out (1999), Tsinghua University followed closely (2000), Fudan has confirmed the project (at the end of 2001), and other schools have also begun to prepare for emba classes and mba classes one after another. Simply put, the former is more advanced, and you must have at least 5 years of corporate management experience or more than 8 years of work experience before you can register.

By the way, even the Emba class at Tsinghua University and Peking University Fudan was not qualified to issue relevant master's degree at this time, and it will not be approved by the education department until 2002, so Song Weiyang's Taurus Business School should not even think about it. Because at this time, a group of entrepreneurs and company executives studied Emba class for two years, which was still in the category of adult continuing education and was not qualified to obtain a serious diploma at all.

Now only Tsinghua and Peking University have emba classes, and the two schools have different school management models.

Tsinghua is rich and invited chairman or CEO of 30 multinational companies, including Sony, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Citi, and Intel, to serve as a member of the advisory committee of the Emba project. He also invited famous scholars such as Harvard Business School, mit Business School, and Stanford Business School. These people will come to Tsinghua regularly to teach, which is very international, but they do not follow the Chinese local spirit. There are also some professors from our school who teach, but they are also unable to connect with reality and they all talk about some theoretical knowledge.

Peking University is much more practical. Its emba class is located in Shenzhen High-tech Zone and was founded in collaboration with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and both parties jointly provide faculty.

The MBA teaching strength of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has always been among the top three in Asia, and later became the number one in Asia. It was a test for each other with Peking University in Shenzhen, and it received strong support from the SAR government. It has begun to explore the path of combining official, production, education, research and investment. Perhaps the teachers are not as good as the Tsinghua Emba class, but they definitely know China better and know what knowledge and experience to teach students.

As for Xiang Bing, he is the founder of the emba class of Peking University and serves as the center director of the project.

This person used to be a professor at the University of Science and Technology of Hong Kong, and later a professor at Peking University. The emba project of Peking University was built entirely by his connections between them, and he can be called the "father of emba" in China.

So in another time and space, Li Chaoren founded the Yangtze Business School and founded the Yangtze River Business School. Now Song Weiyang founded the Taurus Business School and also came to find Xiang Bing. As long as this gentleman is willing to accept the employment, Song Weiyang will not have to worry about the rest. He only needs to provide start-up funds, and Xiang Bing can handle the other things himself. At most, he can use Song Weiyang's connections at critical moments.

Shenzhen City, High-tech Zone, Peking University Emba Training Center.

Even Peking University, in the emba area, can only establish education and training institutions now, and there is no major in the education department at all.

"Director Xiang, Boss Song is here!"

"Please come in quickly."

Xiang Bing quickly walked to the door to greet him. As soon as Song Weiyang stepped into one foot, he shook hands and said, "Mr. Song, you are a rare guest, I have long admired the name!"

"I have long admired Professor Xiang," Song Weiyang smiled. "I have heard that Peking University has created the first emba class in China. I have wanted to come and have a long time ago to experience the professional and academic atmosphere."

Xiang Bing smiled and invited Song Weiyang in: "Mr. Song is so polite. With your qualifications and level, you can come to our emba class to give lectures." Xiang Bing beats the snake and doesn't treat himself as an outsider. After Song Weiyang sat down, he smiled and said, "It's the weekend. If Mr. Song has time, he will give our students a lecture."

Song Weiyang asked: "When will you go to class?"

Xiang Bing explained: "Students have their own jobs and must manage the company in normal times, so class time must be arranged reasonably. Our school system is two years, and each period is closed for one week at the beginning of each period, and then classes are held every weekend. As long as you finish the credits and pass the paper, you can issue a graduation certificate."

Song Weiyang didn't say whether he agreed or not, and continued to ask: "The emba class at Peking University has been held for two years. How many students can each class recruit? "

"Not many, more than a dozen each year." Xiang Bing replied.

"It's a little bit too little." Song Weiyang said.

Xiang Bing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The tuition fee is too expensive, and most people cannot afford it, and they are not qualified to register. Those who are qualified and rich are also busy managing the company and doing business. How can they have the leisure to study and further their studies?"

In fact, Xiang Bing has the most important point, that is, the Emba class at Peking University is still a training institution, and can only get a diploma, cannot obtain a degree certificate, and cannot get a recognition from the government and society. Many people would rather go to the MBA class at various schools than to the Emba class without a diploma, while the vast majority of entrepreneurs and company executives cannot tell the difference between Emba and MBA.

Let me put it this way, when Xiang Bing contacts to recruit students every year, many entrepreneurs will regard it as a liar.

Song Weiyang understood this very easily, so he had the confidence to fool him. He talked to Xiang Bingdong and suddenly explained his purpose: "Professor Xiang, I plan to run a business school, and currently only recruit emba students."

"Do you run your own business school? Can the government approve it?" Xiang Bing was a little surprised.

"It can definitely be approved, but like the emba class at Peking University, you can only issue a diploma, not a degree certificate," Song Weiyang smiled. "It is definitely easier to recruit students. I plan to recruit at least 100 people in the first session."

Xiang Bing thought seriously: "If Mr. Song had come out to do publicity personally, he would have attracted so many people."

Song Weiyang said: "Not only do I personally promote it, but I also plan to teach a few classes myself."

"Then you can recruit 500 people." Xiang Bing sighed because it was too difficult for him to recruit students.

The richest man in the mainland personally teaches the class. Even if he doesn't say anything serious and just brags a few times, it will attract countless private enterprise bosses. The small amount of tuition is nothing to them. Anyway, he doesn't need to attend classes every day, so he just treats it as spending money on traveling and activities. As long as he can say a few words to Song Weiyang, he can still be a big shot when he goes back to do business.

Song Weiyang's picture was revealed: "Professor Xiang, you are the number one person in the emba field in China. I'm here for nothing else this time, I just want to ask you to start a business school together."

Xiang Bing said: "I am currently a professor at Peking University, so I can't resign, right?"

Song Weiyang said: "Why can't you resign? With your knowledge and level, do you still have a strong job mentality?"

Xiang Bing said: "Then I have something to say. Your business school has no precedent in New China and its future is not very clear. Maybe one day I will not do it. Then wouldn't I give up halfway?"

Song Weiyang said: "As long as the government does not ban it, I will continue to do it. Taurus Capital will provide start-up funds, and I will donate a portion of it every year. As long as I can get on track, the remaining money can be maintained by tuition and student donations. I can guarantee that this business school is not for profit. Taurus Capital and I personally do not interfere in financial management, and will only send people to check the accounts regularly. As long as you agree to be the dean, all funds will be controlled by you, but you must also be responsible for building the business school."

"Well, I'll consider it again." Xiang Bing was a little moved.

The main reason is that Xiang Bing's situation is a bit bad at this time. Although he is a professor and doctoral supervisor at Peking University, he has been in charge of the Emba project in Shenzhen for a long time. This project has been underway for two years. Even if he has received support from all parties, he cannot recruit students. He wasted his time all day in a deserted manner and is often questioned and constrained by some people in the school.

Once Song Weiyang agreed to, although he had no Peking University as his backer, he could let himself play, and he would not be embarrassed and depressed that he could not recruit students.

Song Weiyang observed his expression and struck the railway while it was hot: "What's the point of thinking about this? I'd rather make a chicken head than an oxtail."

Xiang Bing smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Song, you are too anxious. You don't give me any time to consider it."

"Then think about it slowly, making me feel like torture," Song Weiyang couldn't help but feel funny, and stood up and said goodbye, "No matter what, I'll come here to have a lecture on the weekend."

Xiang Bing is a little fat man, rubbing his fat face. The moment Song Weiyang stepped out of the room, he suddenly shouted: "Mr. Song, I promise you!"

"Welcome!" Song Weiyang immediately turned around and returned to shake hands.

The two finally started to discuss in detail, discussing the details of the establishment of Taurus Business School, and they were still chatting until they went out for dinner in the evening.

The next morning, someone suddenly visited again and said straight to the point: "Professor Xiang, Chaoren Li wants to run a business school and invite you to participate in the establishment and serve as dean."

"Ah?" Xiang Bing was a little stunned.

At this time, only Tsinghua and Peking University were working on the emba project. The reason why other schools followed the trend was that they only compared their political achievements, and they did not recognize it from the official to the public.

Why did the richest man in mainland China and the richest man in Chinese come together? They all look forward to this thing and even come to invite him to be the dean?

How to choose?

Although Song Weiyang is the richest man in the mainland, he has more money than Li Chaoren. He is the richest man in the world!

Xiang Bing was surprised and replied with a serious expression: "I'm very sorry, I have accepted the employment of other institutions. Please say hello to Li Chaoren on my behalf."
