Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Press, that, the no-pants day in the West should be regarded as a major innovation in the 21st century in the West...

"Xiao Yang, the Mr. Yao you mentioned to me last time, I have asked our boss to invite him over."

"Mr. Yao?"

Yang Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and for a moment he couldn't remember which Mr. Yao was mentioned by Mr. Xiang.

Xiang Wuyi reminded: "Yao Qi knows Professor Yao, the computer that Mr. Yang mentioned last time, which Professor Yao is now a professor in the computer department of Stanford University..."

Yao Qizhi

Hi people

born in [-]

In 1979, he received a bachelor's degree in physics from Wanwan University, and then went to the United States to study, and entered the most famous Harvard University in the United States, where he studied under Glashaw (the winner of the [-] Nobel Prize in Physics).

In 26, he received a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University in the United States. In the following year, at the age of [-], Yao Qizhi gave up his major in physics and turned to computer technology, which was emerging in the United States at that time.

In order to learn computer technology, Yao Qizhi turned to the University of Illinois to study for a doctorate in computer science.

In just two years, this physicist received a doctorate in computer science from the University of Illinois in the United States.

In September of the same year, the double doctor entered the Department of Mathematics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an assistant professor, and the following year entered the Computer Department of Stanford University as an assistant professor.

Until [-], Yao Qizhi became a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.

At only 35 years old, he was promoted to professor, which caused quite a stir in the academic circle a few years ago.

Back then when Xincheng University was being built, Yang Chen specially had someone collect a list of Chinese teachers from various prestigious overseas schools.

Among them, Yao Qizhi was one of the talents he valued the most.

Being able to switch to majoring in computer science after obtaining a Ph.D. in physics, the decisiveness and foresight alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If it wasn't for Yang Chen's high position on Xincheng University, he really wanted to give the other party the position of professor of Xincheng University.

Now hearing that the other person has been invited, Yang Chen couldn't help asking: "Which Professor Yao agreed to come to Xincheng University?"

Mr. Xiang glanced at his eldest son, Xiang Wuyi saw this, and said, "Yes, yes, but Professor Yao put forward a condition."

"What conditions?" Yang Chen asked curiously, he didn't care about what conditions were unconditional, it's hard to hire a good person, it's normal to say conditions, it would be strange if they didn't.

After all, he works in a famous university, even if he changes jobs, he shouldn't come to him.

Xiang Wuyi said: "Professor Yao wants the school to agree to establish a state-of-the-art R&D teaching computer center in Xincheng University."

"That's it?" Yang Chen asked suspiciously, "Is there nothing else?"

"Ah..." Xiang Wuyi didn't expect Yang Chen to have such a reaction. He didn't know what to say for a while, and finally said: "On this condition, the main requirement of Professor Yao is that the latest complete set of computer equipment contains too many things. Not only Teaching, but also have research and development capabilities, some equipment is not only expensive, but also not easy to import.”

Hearing this, Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as I said before, Xincheng University needs the best in everything, whether it's the teachers or the teaching equipment, don't be afraid to spend money."

"Computer is a major that Xincheng University needs to pay attention to. It is normal to establish a research and development teaching center. To apply what you have learned, the school must not only impart knowledge to students, but also teach them how to use the knowledge they have learned."

"Nowadays, personal computers in the United States are becoming more and more popular. If our school can develop a better personal computer than Apple, it will definitely be a good thing. I said before, what is the purpose of the establishment of Xincheng University.

I will not reduce the investment in Xincheng University, but if the school wants more funds, recruits more excellent teachers, and recruits more outstanding students, then it must create value. "

"School laboratories are not only used for teaching, but also for researching things and creating real objects, valuable objects."

"Mr. Xiang, when it comes to equipment problems, please make a list for me. Whether it is the equipment needed by the computer or other laboratories in the school, as long as it is needed by the teachers of our Xincheng University, we will use the best ones."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chen thought for a while, and said, "Let's see it this way, let Professor Yao be the director of the Department of Computer Science, let him mention whatever he needs, and I'll satisfy him. Study whatever you want to study."

"However, I hope that Mr. Xiang will convey my words to Professor Yao and all teachers. Xincheng University is a private school. I want to run it well, and I am willing to provide you with everything you need."

"However, the premise is that everyone can help my company to develop better and better. The future belongs to the era of innovation. Most of the real things and practical things will come out of the laboratory."

"So, I hope that while doing academic research, you can also use your research results to benefit the progress of human life..."

Regarding Yang Chen's words, the Xiang family father and son didn't know what to say. Such blatant words made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially the three Xiang brothers, they are all mathematicians, it is too difficult for them to conduct research, conduct experiments, and come up with practical things.

As we all know, when mathematicians study mathematics, they don't need to consider whether it is related to reality.

When a few mathematicians research abstract mathematics, we can also list many "by-products" of pure mathematics in application, but most mathematicians engage in related research for other purposes.

Too much focus on practical value is not conducive to making major breakthroughs for mathematicians.

What mathematicians hope is to meet challenges and enjoy the fun of making contributions in the spiritual world, rather than actually appearing in people's eyes or applying them to people's lives.

Yes, many people think so.

However, individuals have different opinions.

It cannot be generalized.

Xiang's old three Wude were a little unhappy and said: "Practical value should not be the basic criterion for judging scientific research, it is unrealistic to lead research direction purely with practicality.

In America, schools give scientists the freedom to experiment, because no one knows when what is momentary ambiguity will become a practical tool..."

"Uh..." Seeing Xiang Wude's displeasure, Yang Chen knew that the other party had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Wude, don't get me wrong, I just hope that Xincheng University can try its best to solve problems in real life in terms of research in the future. problem, thus generating more practical value.”

"It takes a lot of money to do scientific research. This is not a question of whether I am willing to invest or not. I have said that I will not lose a penny in my investment in Xincheng University, but I want Xincheng University to develop more in the future. Well, we can’t just rely on my own strength, but Xincheng University also needs to contribute.”

"Several people who have also served in prestigious American schools, you should know better than me that all famous schools in the United States, their sources of funds, in addition to national financial allocations and social donations..."

Yang Chen has always believed that the best school is one that can be self-sufficient. The school needs talents, equipment, and funds. As long as those knowledgeable professors are willing, they really want to develop some practical Things are simply not too easy.

With such resources, why not use them. Xincheng University is a private university, not a public university. Yang Chen hopes that Xincheng University can become like Bell Labs, no, even half, or even one third will do.

Only by creating some practical value and applying what you have learned, you will not wait too long to become famous. The process of creation is actually a kind of learning.

Chapter 927

It was already very late when I left the Xiang family, but this trip did not disappoint Yang Chen, at least the Xiang family knew which direction Xincheng University should develop in the future.

As for the development in that direction

no doubt

It can only develop in the direction Yang Chen wants to see. Only when it develops in the direction Yang Chen wants to see can Xincheng University get the greatest support.

This person, especially the elderly, can best weigh the pros and cons.

Because the elderly see farther than the young, and don't care about temporary gains and losses, the elderly know how to compromise and how to choose the right one.
