Chapter 262 Escape from freedom, education gap
As Manager Hu’s full-time secretary, Xie Shuhao’s political acumen is not bad.
After all, without such ability, he would not be able to secure his position as the second-in-command full-time secretary.
So, when Manager Hu met with Wang Donglai, he mentally raised his evaluation of Wang Donglai and went over Wang Donglai's detailed information. When chatting with Wang Donglai, his tone and attitude were quite kind. .
After talking to Wang Dong about the official policies, Xie Shuhao asked casually: "Professor Wang, do you have any questions?"
This was originally just a simple polite word. Xie Shuhao didn't think Wang Donglai would really have any problems. After all, anyone with experience could tell that it was a polite word.
Unexpectedly.
After he asked, Wang Donglai said: "Secretary Xie, I really have a small problem here."
"I have a general understanding of the policies just mentioned. Now, I have another question here, that is, if I personally fund research, and then personally fund the construction of a research institute, purchase of equipment, etc., will there still be those preferential policies?”
Wang Donglai is not willing to be here. What kind of buzz has dropped on such a high-stakes research project.
Although he was born in Tangdu Jiaotong University, Xu Songyao also supported him very much. No matter from which aspect, Tangdu Jiaotong University would not have any disagreement with him on the distribution of patent rights.
However, Wang Donglai has the ability to avoid this hidden danger, so naturally he will not sit back and watch this hidden danger arise.
The emergence of a transformative technology will bring astronomical benefits to China, the world's most populous nation.
From an academic perspective, as long as you are participating in the project, it is not a problem to select a few academicians, and publishing countless core papers is not a problem.
Not to mention financial benefits.
Not only Tangdu Jiaotong University, but also Wang Donglai would not accept all the preferential terms offered by the province.
This question is raised at this time out of such considerations.
Xie Shuhao was stunned when he heard this question.
Because he really never thought that Wang Donglai would ask this question.
But after all, he is the general secretary of a province, and his abilities are quite good.
After just thinking for a few breaths, he said in a deep voice: "I can answer Professor Wang's question. The province attaches great importance to the development of the new energy industry. As long as it can be developed, it will be facilitated."
< br>"What Professor Wang just meant was that he wanted Galaxy Technology to independently fund the construction of research institutes and experimental bases. The leaders have also discussed this."
"The opinions of provincial and municipal leaders on this Yes, if you conduct research at your own expense, we will support it. As long as the research institute and research base are within the scope of Qin Province, they will enjoy preferential policies regardless of whether they are in Tang Dynasty or not, and the research results will naturally belong to Professor Wang 100%."
"The specific preferential policies include. The preferential conditions such as land price discount and tax are not limited to transportation and supporting public facilities. "
"If Professor Wang is determined to do this, he can discuss with the leaders of Tangdu to select a suitable place to acquire the land. .”
Xie Shuhao made this matter very clear in a few words.
Hearing what Xie Shuhao said, Wang Donglai felt quite satisfied and nodded.
For this research institute, Wang Donglai naturally chose to place it in Tangdu City and would not choose any other place.
Qin Province has the richest university resources among the five northwest provinces, and the universities are concentrated in Tangdu.
So, it is natural that this research institute should be placed in Tangdu City.
Not only this research institute, but later Wang Donglai will build more research institutes to conduct research.
Do it right at the beginning to avoid problems later.
"Then I have no problem!" Wang Donglai said to Xie Shuhao with a smile.
"That's good. In this case, Tangdu City will contact Professor Wang to discuss this matter. If there is anything, Professor Wang can contact me!"
said Then, Xie Shuhao took out his mobile phone and exchanged contact information with Wang Donglai.
After exchanging contact information, Xie Shuhao and Wang Donglai chatted for a while and then left.
Wang Donglai also returned to the office where he was waiting and saw Xu Songyao and Director Lu who were still waiting for him.
"Let's go."
Xu Songyao did not ask about the content of the chat between Wang Donglai and Manager Hu, his expression remained calm, as if nothing happened.
The three walked out of the provincial compound again.
Director Lu kept looking at Wang Donglai on the road, as if he wanted to see something from Wang Donglai.
He is an insider and knows some saving moves.
From the time he went to Jiaotong University in Tangdu to bring Wang Donglai, he had a slightly bold expectation in his heart.
When leaving, Director Lu did not sit in his own bus, but sat in a car with Wang Donglai.
"Professor Wang, you have met the general manager, and you should also know that the province and city will provide strong support to the new energy industry."
"To be honest, Professor Wang, although Galaxy Technology is not the company with the highest market value in Qin Province, it is the Internet company that the market unanimously believes has the greatest potential."
"If it is just an ordinary Internet company, we in Qin The province and Tang Dynasty may not pay much attention to it, but Galaxy Technology founded by Professor Wang is different.”
“The employment environment is good and the leadership is good. Employment is only part of it. The most important thing is your company’s achievements in technological innovation.”
“The artificial intelligence medical auxiliary diagnosis system is really excellent.”
"This also allows the city to see the technological innovation of Galaxy Technology, so the market has high expectations for your company."
"I shouldn't have said these words, but when I saw Professor Wang today, I felt very close to each other, so I said a little more."
"Professor Wang's talent in mathematics is known to the world, but Professor Wang There is no research and development capability in the battery field. How many people know that it is undoubtedly a bit regretful that this major research on new energy technology is a good opportunity. I wonder if Professor Wang is interested in it?"
Director Lu had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of it at all. The majestic aura of a municipal bureau leader.
The attitude and look shown also make people feel very comfortable and friendly.
How could Wang Donglai not understand what Director Lu was thinking? He immediately smiled and said: "Thank you Director Lu for reminding me that the new energy industry is the future development trend, whether as a scholar or as a technology company The founder of the company, I certainly won’t miss it.”
Hearing Wang Donglai's answer, the smile on Director Lu's face suddenly became more intense, and he said loudly: "That's good, that's good. I still believe in Professor Wang's scientific research strength." Let me ask, I don’t know whether Professor Wang chooses to receive scientific research funding. Do you want to conduct longitudinal research, or do you personally fund the research and form your own research team?”
Wang Donglai did not hide anything, and said loudly: “There will still be many places to fund the research personally. I have to deal with Director Lu, I hope I hope Director Lu can give me more support!”
Director Lu’s eyes lit up and he said: “Of course there is no problem. I also hope that Professor Wang will make a major breakthrough in this regard. Such large companies establish research institutes to conduct research and experiments The test is actually extremely supportive. If the market knows the news, it will definitely give Professor Wang the greatest support, so Professor Wang doesn’t have to worry too much.”
After getting the information he wanted to know, Director Lu's expression became relaxed.
Behind this relaxation, there is also a bit of excitement.
Director Lu also knows about the lithium battery technology developed before Wang Donglai. It is precisely because of this that Director Lu's attitude is so cordial.
The trend of the new energy industry is about to rise. If R&D talents like Wang Donglai develop excellent products, this will be a free achievement for Director Lu.
That’s why he is so concerned.
After a brief chat, Director Lu and Wang Donglai separated.
After Director Lu left, Xu Songyao slowly said: "It's a good thing that you want to personally fund the construction of the research institute. However, if you want to do research before, if necessary, the school's laboratory can be rented to you. If you need it, Talents, the school can also arrange them for you, and then the outstanding students will be given priority If you are recommended to your company, you can also establish an internship base with the school and enter the internship in advance.”
“As long as I am the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, you don’t have to worry about these things!”
Xu Songyao looked calm, but his tone was extremely firm and serious.
“With Uncle Xu’s support, I feel relieved!”
Students of Tangdu Jiaotong University are naturally unlikely to worry about not being able to find a job, and high-quality talents are in demand wherever they are placed. goods.
Xu Songyao can say this with great sincerity.
After talking about this matter, Xu Songyao and Wang Donglai started chatting.
"Donglai, the Institute of Advanced Mathematics in our school is about to be put into operation. Since you have come from the student days, you are not much different in age, and you have also seen the academic atmosphere abroad. What do you think of our school? Is there anything that needs to be improved?"
"It's just you and me here, let's talk about your opinions."
Xu Songyao said it was just chatting, but in fact he looked very serious. To be serious.
Wang Dong glanced at Xu Songyao, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Xu, since you asked me, let me just say it briefly." I’ve been reading it for a year, but I do have a lot of feelings. That’s all I’ll say. , just listen to it like this.”
“In fact, when our country is so big and has a large population, the number of geniuses should be far greater than that of developed countries, but this is not the case.”
“In my opinion, our country’s education The students trained by the system may not be worse than those from abroad. On the contrary, the earlier they are in the early stage, the greater our advantage will be. It is only after reaching university that the gap widens.”
“When I was in elementary school. , the teacher will say that in junior high school, you can play whatever you want, and if you don’t want to learn, just go to school. After three years of work, I returned home. When I got to junior high school, the teacher said that the high school teachers didn’t care at all. You can sleep in class or play games online. When you got to high school, you could fall in love and do whatever you wanted in college. The university teachers said I don’t care at all, and I didn’t even mention it by name.”
"So, after I arrived at the university and saw the colorful life at the university, I fell into a mentality of 'escape from freedom' as Erich Fromm said."
Although Xu Songyao is an academician of science , but if you can become an academician, you will naturally be well-read.
As soon as Wang Donglai mentioned Erich Fromm's 'escape from freedom' mentality, he understood a little bit, and then said: "Your statement is quite novel. It's just you and me today, we might as well Tell me more, I will listen to your opinion."
Now that you have said it. When he arrived here, Wang Donglai stopped hiding and let go directly, saying: "Uncle Xu also seems to know this concept of 'escape from freedom'."
"The world is material, so everything Realistic situations have real basis behind them.”
"The main reason for the slow academic development in our country is that university education is not done well. The evaluation standards of meritocracy, coupled with the high cost and lack of trial and error in our country, leave many people with no choice."
“Many people have learned about capitalism from books and think that the West is capitalism, the so-called It’s very one-sided that big capitalists control the market.”
“Real capitalism affects people in all aspects. First, people have more freedom and can openly express dissatisfaction and criticism. Secondly, It makes people feel more lonely and insecure, and they often feel helpless and fearful. The two phenomena are caused by the same reasons. One is the tendency of individualism in capitalist society, where people use each other and alienate each other. The other is the instrumental status of individuals in capitalist machine production, which makes people always in the same place. Strive for an alien goal.”
“Many people’s activities are moving. The motivation is not to satisfy one's own instinctive drive, but to escape the freedom of the continuous development of this society and long to return to a more secure life state that is dependent on others."
"Academic. , in fact, in the eyes of many people, it is a boring and boring job. ”
"..."
"However, the heavy reality is forcing them to face it."
"With all these, without the heartfelt pursuit and love of academic research, they want to do something The possibility of achieving results is almost zero.”
“But the West is the opposite of us. They do it in secret. Very good. The various benefits of high-welfare countries allow students who enter universities to invest more in academic research without worrying about their own survival. "
"Of course, there are also Western countries that use academic hegemony. , the reason for gathering the wisdom of scholars from all over the world to carry out development.”
Wang Donglai talked a lot eloquently, and Xu Songyao's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"Dong Lai, what you are talking about is too big and involves many things. It is beyond my scope."
"Let's stop this topic here. You are still with me. Tell me about our school’s Institute of Advanced Mathematics. Do you have any good suggestions?”
Xu Songyao changed the topic and asked Wang Donglai’s suggestions for the Institute of Advanced Mathematics.
After all, Wang Donglai accounted for a large part of the reason why the Institute of Advanced Mathematics of Tangdu Jiaotong University was approved.
After the establishment of the Institute of Advanced Mathematics, Wang Donglai became the core of the core. Therefore, Xu Songyao would ask Wang Donglai for his views and see what ideas and suggestions he had.
Wang Donglai also understood this, and after pondering for a moment, he said aloud: "I think since we have to do something, we must do it well."
"Advanced mathematics research in several domestic universities Although I have not actually inspected the college, judging from the academic performance, it is obviously not good enough. "
"Instead of doing this, it is better to choose a different management method from the beginning of many domestic advanced mathematics institutes."
"Of course, I am just a suggestion, specific. It’s up to you, the principal, to decide how to manage it.”
When Xu Songyao heard this, his eyes moved, and he immediately suggested half jokingly, half seriously: "I think your suggestion is very good, and I also believe in your management ability. How about it? Do you want to come?" Be the director of this institute?”
Wang Donglai said with a smile: "Let's forget it. I have too many things to do next, so I probably can't take care of this."
Hearing Wang Donglai's polite refusal, Xu Songyao did not He forced himself, smiled and said nothing more.
