Chapter 109 Dehua University

(first update)

The most famous school in Qingdao is the Qingdao Special Higher Education College located on the southwest of Emperor William's shore of the railway station. Although the British and American churches established universities in China for a long time, these schools have never been recognized by the Qing government. Only this Qingdao Special Higher Education College is the first higher education school jointly run by China.

The campus of higher education schools extends to the beach. To a certain extent, it is happy to go to school here. It faces the sea and has beautiful scenery. Opening a window is a painting, and what makes students feel most happy is probably that they enjoy a superior special treatment.

In Qingdao, on this German land for rent, Dehua divided the Germans. The Germans had many restrictions on ordinary Chinese people, but they treated the students in this school differently. Each student held a special passport issued by the Governor of Jiaoao. With this passport, some of them were listed as "forbidden zones" that Chinese people are not allowed to enter, and they could also enter at will.

The park near the German Admiral Building is an area where the admiral couples take a walk. Idle people are strictly prohibited from entering, otherwise they will be arrested and punished. However, students in the school can enter freely. Huiquan Forest Farm is strictly prohibited from entering. If they accidentally enter the forest farm and are found by the forest police, they will be beaten. However, students in the higher school can play at will in the forest farm.

Although this is a university jointly organized by the Qing government and the Germans, and although the courses here adopt the "science + Confucius" teaching model, the founders of this university introduced the German academic research methods and modern discipline classification system to this school with their rigorous attitude, which was well-known for. This place infected traditional German universities' sacred reverence for knowledge, and filled with a pure academic atmosphere of super utilitarian and super religious.

Full academic freedom, first-class German local scholars and professors, German teaching, original textbooks from the Royal Bayern Higher Technical School in Munich, Germany, and especially the addition of some reputable scientists, made the higher schools comparable to the research level in Germany at that time in natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. In the end, this first-class higher engineering school in Asia was created.

Holding a special passport issued by the Governor General of the Governor's Office in Germany and walking into the campus of Dehua University, Li Zicheng couldn't help but look at the school. The school was not large in size, and it was even worse than a middle school. If we look at it from later generations, it was even worse than a primary school, at least in terms of the size of the school's construction.

"Chairman, that building is the teaching building of Dehua University."

Ye Yingming pointed to a two-story building in the south of the campus and said that it was indeed beyond his expectations that the chairman would come to Qingdao in person. This time he made a special trip to Dehua University. For this reason, he even applied for an unrestricted special passport from the Governor's Office. When the staff of the Governor's Office heard the name, they immediately issued a special passport.

“Below the reputation”

When thinking about applying for a passport, the Secretary Henls of the Governor's Office showed a look on his face. Ye Yingming couldn't help but look at the chairman next to him again. Who could believe that the chairman would be so young?

Looking at the building with four slopes on the roof, Li Zicheng just nodded. This time he came to Qingdao to discuss with Dehua University about co-organizing a branch in Lianyungang. The reason why he came to Qingdao in person was because he was afraid that others would take the business trip to do this business. Now he was not willing to wait for a day. It would be best if he could finalize the agreement today and start the school tomorrow after tomorrow. However, this was just a thought. After all, Lianyungang has only begun to purchase school land outside the company's land.

At this moment, a sound of commands came from the playground in the distance. Looking through the bushes, only 20 Chinese students were seen marching German stance under the command of German officers under the command of German officers.

"This is……"

The scene in front of him only surprised Li Zicheng. What is he doing? Is this a higher engineering school?

Realizing the surprise on the chairman's face, Ye Yingming, who was a "Qingdaotong", quickly explained.

"Chairman, this is the students taking physical education classes. Most of the school's courses are imitated by Germany, so there is military exercise training in physical education classes. Now the same is true for our domestic universities and middle schools, but the guns and bullets here are kept by the students themselves."

Ye Yingming's explanation only made Li Zicheng stunned. There would be such a school. Li Zicheng, who was in a state of ignorance at this time, just nodded. No matter how they taught, all he needed was a real university of science and technology.

"Let's go and visit Principal Kebel."

As the supervisor of the school, whenever Georg Keber sat in his office and looked at this not-so-large school, he felt a sense of pride. It was with his efforts that this university became the first-class in Asia and was no less than the higher engineering school in Germany.

“It’s a pity that the Admiralty has no intention of expanding this school”

Thinking of the Admiralty’s repeated refusal to request the expansion of the school, Georg Keber always felt helpless because all the higher education subjects were taught in German by German professors, which was in sharp contrast to Shandong Christian University. Many Chinese young people regarded studying at the school as studying in Germany and rushed to sign up. As a result, the number of scholars seeking scholars year by year, and they were suffering from receiving them.

Faced with this situation, Georg Keber, as a supervisor, was naturally inspired. The purpose of founding this school was that Germany hoped to find a stable and orderly way of cultural expansion in China, build it into a base for "Germanized" education for Chinese people from all aspects, take advantage of Qingdao's competition without British and American forces, and present it to the Chinese as the "best master of modern education", and ultimately cultivate the awareness of pro-Germany of the Chinese elite.

When Chinese students were rushing to sign up, the school should seize the opportunity to expand and expand enrollment at the same time, but its proposal was rejected by the Admiralty. Although it was a school founded by Germany and the Chinese, Germany was the main provider of funds, with a regular annual funding of 130,000 marks, while the Chinese were only responsible for 40,000 marks.

"At this stage, during the arms race between the Navy and the UK, it is undoubtedly unwise to expand the establishment of higher education institutions..."

In the end, the handwritten letter from Tilpitz, the Imperial Naval Office secretary of the Imperial Naval Office who was the famous advocate of "Great Navy" and was in charge of Jiaoao leased affairs, completely dispelled Kebel's idea of ​​running a real "Derhua University". It requires a lot of funds to support a university. Without money, it is naturally impossible to build the university in his mind.

However, as a geologist and an official of the Admiralty, Kebel has never been able to put down his ambitions of "Dehua University". Even in this school, the reason why students are asked to call the school "Dehua University" is because the title of "Creator of the University" is tempting him.

"After a hundred years, everyone will forget Georg Kebel, but only when it exists at Dehua University, people will remember Georg Kebel."

When the voice in my heart sounded again, Kebel sighed helplessly. Maybe, in a few years, his dream will come true.

"Mr. Kebel, Mr. Li Zicheng from Liuhe Company is here"

"Oh, please invite him in, no, I'll go and greet him in person."

As a geologist, to some extent, Kebel admires this "inventor", so he seems a little excited when he hears Li Zicheng's visit. He originally wanted to invite him to Dehua after learning that Li Zicheng came to Qingdao, but he didn't expect that now he actually came to the door.

As soon as he walked out of the office, Kebel saw two Chinese people standing outside the office, looking at the young man in a black wool coat standing in front, and smiled on Kebel's face.

"Mr. Li, welcome to Dehua"

Kebel speaks Chinese.

"Hello, Mr. Kebel"

Li Zicheng spoke German. Although German was not fluent, Kebel was still happy and quickly spoke in German.

"I have always wanted to invite you to visit Dehua at the right time, but...but, I think we have already had a deal with each other."

Kebel said with some point of view that a few days ago, the managers of those foreign companies complained a lot that Liuhe Company poached a large number of Dehua graduates.

"Mr. Kebel, I want to express my gratitude to Dehua this time. Thanks to Kebel and Dehua for cultivating a group of outstanding engineering talents. Now, what they have learned will be more fully developed in Liuhe Company. I think this should be far more suitable for their development than being a translator in a foreign company."

"certainly,"

Kaiber nodded affirmatively and asked Li Zicheng to enter his office.

"However, Mr. Li, you seem to have come a little early this time. This class of students will graduate until April next year. Well, you have come five and a half months ago."

Kebel, who is not yet clear about Li Zicheng's purpose, said tentatively. In his opinion, the reason why Li Zicheng took the initiative to come to Dehua was probably because of the one hundred graduates of this class. In Kebel's view, Li Zicheng in front of him is not just an inventor, but also has a very far-reaching vision. Just from the fact that he can poach Dehua University's graduates at all costs, it can be seen that he has far more vision than most Chinese entrepreneurs.

"Mr. Kebel, I'm here not just for those students, but for Dehua."

Li Zicheng told his purpose straight to the point.

"oh"

"I would like to ask Mr. Kebel if he intends to set up a branch of Dehua University in Lianyungang."

Kaiber's eyes opened and he looked at Li Zicheng, and he came to his senses for a while.

"Dear University? Branch?"

(To be honest, Wuyu really didn't expect that there is a Dehua University in history, which is the "No. 1 Polytechnic School in Asia". What a pity).
