Silicon Valley

Williams College may not be famous in China, but it is a famous school in the minds of Americans, even more popular than Harvard University, and it is the most famous aristocratic college in the United States! The college has a long history, not only pioneering intercollegiate athletic rivalries, but also the first school in the United States to use graduation ceremonies and bachelor's graduation attire.

Henry really didn't know how much it would cost to buy a school in the United States.

Williams College, as the top liberal arts college, must be very expensive. However, the college covers an area of ​​450 acres, with 315 teachers and about 2,000 students. In terms of size, it is really small and pitiful. Harvard University has more than 6,700 undergraduate students and more than 14,000 master and doctoral students, and the number of students in the school exceeds that of Williams College by 10 times.

Currently, Williams College tuition is: $44,920/year.

Room and board is: $11,850/year.

That's only $56,000 in total.

Enrolling around 500 students a year would be only $28 million a year.

And the $28 million doesn't take out the college's operating costs, including teachers' salaries, school repairs, equipment maintenance, and more. In addition, scholarships and bursaries for students are also a huge amount of money, and Williams School will provide these "financial aids" to 45% of students as much as possible. Thinking about it this way, running a school in the United States doesn't make much money! Perhaps, others don't make money by searching for tuition fees, but by donating funds!

Famous schools in the United States provide scholarships and grants as much as possible. Many students will be grateful after graduation and return to their alma mater from time to time. Harvard University's endowment fund is as high as more than 30 billion US dollars. Do you think it is rich?

Schools that are based on education and not for the purpose of making money from students will be more rich! This may be the cause of the seed...

...

Henry then made a takeover request to Williams College, offering to buy it for $1 billion.

The shareholders of private schools are called school directors, who constitute the school board and can decide the major affairs of the school. If someone else bought Williams College, they wouldn't be able to buy it if they had money. Most of Williams College's trustees are passionate about education, and $1 billion may not necessarily make their hearts go.

However, Henry was different. Cisco has established hundreds of primary and secondary schools, and Henry's reputation is also well-known in the education industry. Moreover, Henry is also a famous novelist, scientist, and a world-recognized super genius who invented graphene, a new material! He wants to buy Williams College and run a university, which naturally won the support of the school administrators. And the reason why Williams College was chosen is very clear to everyone, because the school's name is the same as his surname.

Soon, Williams College's school board replied, promising to be acquired.

On February 7, the contract was signed.

On February 20, Williams College moved from Massachusetts to Williams, California.

Henry himself served as Williams' principal.

Williams College originally had more than 300 teachers, and Henry also recruited more than 400 professors from world-renowned schools such as Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, etc. to expand the school's faculty and increase the graduate school. The original Williams College only undergraduate. However, the new Williams College is still dominated by the original education method and still belongs to the aristocratic school. However, the difficulty of recruiting students has increased and it ranks the highest in the world!

Only 1,000 undergraduates and 500 graduate students are enrolled each year.

Henry hopes that the students who go out from Williams College are the top talents in the world!

As for the Williams City Government, with the help of the Henry Think Tank team, it has gradually improved and is on the right track. At this time, Williams College also began to recruit students, but the application conditions are: the total score of the US college entrance examination SAT test is not less than 2100 (out of 2400), or the ACT test score is not less than 27 (out of 27) 36 points).

These are just the prerequisites for registration. Admission or not, an interview is required to decide.

As soon as the news of Williams College's admissions spread, countless students from all over the world signed up.

Among them, there are many students with perfect scores on the SAT and ACT tests. However, top universities in the U.S. routinely reject such perfect students, thinking they are nerds.

...

In the weather of February and March in California, wearing a single shirt will not feel cold. The new campus of Williams College is grand, classical, sci-fi, covering an area of ​​6 times the original size, with 2,700 acres. Henry took off his mask and pretended to be a Williams College student wandering around here. Since his appearance had changed a lot, no one recognized his identity.

Henry walked to the gate of the school. At this moment, there were a lot of people here, and the enrollment was going on. Henry sat on a big rock by the pond, enjoying the warm spring breeze while watching countless students sign up. For a time, Henry couldn't help but miss the scene of going to college in his previous life. Although it was a long time ago, he was still vivid in his mind and deeply touched!

At this time, a young girl walked across to Henry and stared straight at Henry, "Hello, can I sit here?" she asked.

"Of course." Henry smiled lightly and couldn't help looking at her. The first is a very good figure, tall and slender. Secondly, she looks very beautiful and is an extremely rare beauty. Her skin was white and red, and her long blond hair was draped over her shoulders. What surprised Henry was that her eyes were originally only blue, but for a moment, her eyes turned purple. Although it was only a flash, Henry would never think that he was wrong. , because at that moment, his brain was extremely active!

"Thank you!" The somewhat mysterious girl whispered and sat opposite Henry.

"Are you here for an admissions interview?"

"Yes."

"You're not too young!?"

"I just turned 16!"

"You came to Williams College at the age of 16, so it seems that you are a genius!" Henry said slightly surprised.

The girl didn't answer, but looked at Henry and said to herself, "I know who you are!"

Henry couldn't help but be surprised, "Really? Then tell me, who am I?!"

"The owner of Williams College!" the girl replied.

"How did you guess? You know, my appearance has changed a lot!" Henry asked curiously.

"secret."

"Secret?? Well, since it's a secret, I won't ask. But, can you tell me your name?"

"Diffel."

Henry smiled: "Hello, Miss Devi, can you keep a secret for me? You know, I don't want others to know my identity..."

Dephel nodded and replied briefly, "Okay!"

Saying that, Dephel stood up again and left.

As soon as Dephel walked away, a thin boy of about eighteen years old walked up to Henry, "Hey, stay away from Dephel!"

"Your girlfriend?" Henry said lightly, "If so, I will!"

"Oh, God, who dares to ask her to be her girlfriend?! I'm only from the same school as her!"

"What do you mean?" Henry asked curiously.

"I tell you," the boy said after looking around cautiously, "Diffel is an orphan, withdrawn by nature, and very evil. All those who offend her are crazy, even her The dean of her is also crazy! That's why I warned you not to approach her!"

"Oh, that's what it is! However, I have to tell you some bad news..."

"What bad news?"

"She's looking at you now!"
