Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Inside the principal's office.
Xu Songyao asked with a gentle smile: "How about it? Do you want to try to take care of a few graduate students this year?"
"Forget it, I don't have the time to take care of students, no. With Professor Zhang, his mathematical ability is more than enough to guide graduate students. If we are lucky, the school may not be able to develop the mathematics department and become a top major."
Wang Donglai was not polite and refused directly. stand up.
Xu Songyao didn't take it seriously, nodded, and said: "That's right, asking you to take care of graduate students is really a waste of your time."
"Professor Ruan Wei's matter has been dealt with by the school. , it happens that the school is also preparing to carry out half-term Majoring in conductors, with the arrival of Professor Ruan Wei, I feel more confident.”
When Ruan Wei said that he wanted to come to Tangdu Jiaotong University from Tianjin University, he was not polite, but serious. He was talking to Wang Donglai. After finishing speaking, he handed over his resignation letter to Tianjin University.
On the Tangdu Jiaotong University side, there was naturally no reason to refuse, and they immediately completed the acceptance work.
At the same time, even the companies in Jinmen were split and relocated, preparing to move to Tangdu.
Wang Donglai nodded and said: "Uncle Xu, let me tell you something from my heart. Tangdu Jiaotong University has a long history and strong faculty, but it still has shortcomings in many aspects. The decline in university rankings in the past two years is evidence of this."
“Of course, I also understand that this is also because Due to the shortage of funds, there are still certain problems in the school's internal management. "
"In the future, majors such as chips, artificial intelligence, and new energy will become new development forces, and there will inevitably be gains in this area. With the increasing attention from above, it is impossible for our country to To always only engage in low-end processing industries, we must carry out industrial upgrading, eliminate backward production capacity, and develop high and new technologies.”
“Biochemical and environmental materials, these four major tiankeng majors, from the current point of view, are indeed the best. sinkhole, but with the development of technology, the situation is likely to change . ”
“For example, artificial intelligence technology can be used to conduct simulation experiments in the field of materials. In the past, it took luck and time to find a qualified material, but with the blessing of artificial intelligence, Not necessarily.”
"In my opinion, artificial intelligence is not omnipotent. It is just an accelerator that plays a supporting role. It uses artificial intelligence technology to accelerate the completion of other tasks."
Xu Songyao listened carefully and asked: " What’s your suggestion?”
Wang Dong glanced at Xu Songyao and could feel Xu Songyao’s seriousness, so he said Said: "Cancel some majors and open up some new majors."
"For example?"
"International economics and trade, sociology, business administration, e-commerce, finance, accounting Studies, labor and social security, trade economics, English, Japanese, administrative management, environmental design, calligraphy..."
“These majors are offered by ordinary private colleges and universities, as well as by second-level and ordinary colleges and universities, so we don’t need to develop in this area.”
“Comprehensive universities seem to have everything, but in fact they have Apart from the trump card major, the other majors are not very good.”
“Just. For example, what is the significance of the English, Japanese and French majors offered by the school? Those who can get into our school are all students who get high scores in the college entrance examination. As a result, they study these majors, which is absolutely beneficial to their future. It’s a waste.”
“In my opinion, small languages. There are just a few schools across the country, and some fields are not useful at all. Many schools have opened, and students have studied for four years. After they go out, they face unemployment. The job they end up in is not far from their major, but it is definitely the same. It has nothing to do with it!”
“Calligraphy, Business Administration, Finance In fact, these majors should not be offered in our schools. How many students studying business administration have companies to manage? Ninety-nine percent of them have to work as workers after graduation, let alone finance. If you don’t have tens of millions and can’t even get in, what’s the use of learning?”
"What's more, I'm not saying, what is the school's teaching staff in this area? What is the level of textbook compilation?"
"It is a bit excessive to say that it is misleading the students, but it is a delay of four years. , Absolutely right!”
“In my opinion, the school might as well cancel all these majors, and then open majors with more development prospects, and increase investment in basic majors such as mathematics and physics. Enter, this is the true academic attitude!”
“Blindly pursuing a comprehensive university, for the sake of the reputation of a comprehensive university, and for the sake of domestic university ranking assessment, wantonly opening some useless majors, for It is a burden for the school, and it will also delay their future for the students.”
Xu Songyao was sweating profusely and frightened when he heard Wang Donglai’s words.
"Dong Lai, please don't say this in front of the media. If word spreads, someone with ulterior motives will label you as attacking the education system."
"Actually, what you said I also know these things, but I think you should be able to understand that if so many majors want to be abolished, the impact will be The higher-ups will never agree to that. ”
“Furthermore, the establishment of majors such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence as you mentioned requires both faculty and equipment. It is not just about setting up majors. ”
Xu Songyao also wanted to talk to Wang Donglai about the difficulties involved.
Wang Donglai interrupted directly and said: "Principal, you are the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University. You are responsible for the future of tens of thousands of students of Tangdu Jiaotong University and the development of Tangdu Jiaotong University. There are difficulties, and I understand them.”
"But many times, the impact of a person's achievements depends on his choice when facing difficulties, whether he chooses to solve it bravely, or whether he gives up or even ignores it."
"Tang Du Jiaotong University is my alma mater. In recent years, thanks to the support of my alma mater, I have been able to develop so smoothly. I am very grateful.”
“So, President Xu can think carefully about the suggestions I just mentioned. ”
< br>"Galaxy Technology will increase its investment in research and development in the field of advanced technologies. It is conservatively estimated that 50 billion will be invested in research and development of various tasks in the next three years, only a lot more."
"If the school is interested, I will expand the scope of previous cooperation with the school. The school will offer relevant majors and Galaxy Technology will provide financial support. After graduation, students can directly enter Galaxy Technology to work."
"Not only Tangdu Jiaotong University, I will also cooperate with Tangdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, Jiancheng University, Northwest Agricultural University and other universities on this matter."
Wang Donglai mentioned this, Xu Songyao naturally will not continue hesitate.
A trace of determination appeared on his face, his eyes shone brightly, and he said firmly: "Okay! Since you said so in Donglai, I will accept this matter!"
"If only a few majors are to be cut, I can decide. However, since there are so many majors in the design, I also need some time to communicate with the superiors.”
“However, I can promise you that as long as I stay in the position of principal for one day, I will put this into consideration. Try your best to push forward.”
"The success does not have to be mine, but the success must be mine! That's enough!"
Wang Donglai was somewhat surprised by Xu Songyao's decision, but he can still understand it after thinking about it.
After all, Xu Songyao is the kind of person who really does things.
"Uncle Xu, I believe the students at Tangdu Jiaotong University will remember you!" Wang Donglai said with certainty.
Xu Songyao waved his hand and said: "In my position, I will pursue my political affairs. Since I have become the principal, I should do this. This is my responsibility."
"By the way, you taught in the Wudaokou Yao class in the first half of the year, and Yanda University had a lot of opinions. What do you think?"
Hearing Xu Songyao talk about this, Wang Donglai also thought about it. , said: "I am going to select a few good students from Wudaokou's Yao class to see if they can be trained into talents in the field of artificial intelligence. When the time comes, they will be recruited to the company, and with Professor Yao's expertise That’s why I did it because of my professional ability.”
“As for the Mathematics Department at Yanda, I don’t want to go there anymore. I think they will be convinced by me, so instead of doing this, I don’t have much interest in going to Yanda, so I might as well forget it!”
Wang Dong is telling the truth, Yanda’s mathematics department is famous throughout the country.
Wang Donglai emerged from Jiaotong University in Tangdu and won three top awards in the international mathematics community. As for some other awards, they are not famous enough.
As a result, many people became dissatisfied with Wang Donglai invisibly. For example, among the mathematics awards within China, Wang Donglai only won one Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award.
There is no news about the identity of the academician.
You know, if this honor that Wang Donglai received were replaced by another professor, I am afraid that at the beginning of the year, there would be news that he would become an academician.
However, Wang Donglai made no movement at all.
Just now, Xu Songyao deliberately mentioned Yan Da, which was actually a hint to Wang Donglai.
However, after hearing Wang Donglai's answer, Xu Songyao sighed softly and said, "Donglai, since you have gone to Wudaokou, you have also jointly developed a large artificial intelligence data model, and also Yanda has long been envious of products like artificial intelligence assistants. If you don’t go, the impact will not be very good.”
“After all, in the field of domestic mathematics, Yanda’s mathematics department is still the best. You have a lot of say. If you go there and maintain a good relationship, it will be beneficial to your future development!"
"Of course, this is based on your willingness to develop academically! "
"However, in my opinion, I still recommend that you maintain your relationship with Yanda, whether it is business or academic, the benefits are obvious!"
Xu Songyao's words definitely came from the bottom of his heart. Wang Donglai thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay, in that case, I will spend half a semester at Yan University as an exchange student."
Xu Song Yao continued: "Well, Yan University is also one of the top universities in the country. You can also go and have a look at the school. For a change of environment, you might get some new inspiration!”
“By the way, if you are not busy, you can write a paper and publish it in "The Future of Mathematics"! , after you submitted the article, "Mathematical Future" appeared immediately "The original form."
When Wang Donglai heard the last words about "The Future of Mathematics", he shook his head and refused without thinking: ""The Future of Mathematics" has established a firm foothold. The next step is to attract scholars to submit manuscripts. The thing is actually very simple, throw money at it That’s it. The second step is to organize studies and seminars for scholars.”
“It’s impossible for me to support “The Future of Mathematics” alone. There are so many scholars at home and abroad. As long as we can give a qualified price, I don’t have to worry about it. People contributed.”
After saying that, Wang Donglai sighed and changed his mind and said: "Forget it, I will take some time out and write a paper then."
"However, I am going to be a top student in "The Future of Mathematics" To develop a journal, you must do all the work well from the beginning, and don’t be eager for success. When presiding over work, you must have a long-term perspective."
Xu Songyao also nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I will bring this up when I preside over the meeting."
……
Time flies and it’s the end of August.
During this period, Xiaomi became the first domestic mobile phone manufacturer to officially reach an agreement with Galaxy Technology on artificial intelligence assistant patents.
The cooperation agreement is complex, but the core is very simple.
Xiaomi Mobile is willing to spend 1.5% of the selling price of the mobile phone as the patent licensing fee for the artificial intelligence assistant.
Not only that, Rebus even spent an extra amount of money and made a request.
That is to let Galaxy Technology provide technical support and customize a smart assistant belonging to Xiaomi according to the needs and programs of Xiaomi mobile phones. This Xiaomi mobile phone comes with a smart phone assistant tentatively named Xiaoai. .
Wang Donglai did not refuse this request and directly decided to agree.
At this point, 2% of the selling price of Xiaomi mobile phones will become the exclusive royalties of Galaxy Technology.
Compared with Qualcomm’s 6% Qualcomm tax, it is still two-thirds lower.
As soon as the news came out, the Internet was full of expectations for Xiaomi mobile phones, and the entire Internet was urging Xiaomi to launch new phones.
This kind of news also makes domestic mobile phone manufacturers unable to sit still.
Several mobile phone manufacturers such as Warwick and Blue Green Factory came to the door one after another, and finally reluctantly agreed to a 1.5% patent fee.
After completing cooperation with several major mobile phone manufacturers, Galaxy Technology officially announced that in order to protect the rights and interests of each company and avoid monopoly in the market, it would no longer authorize domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
As soon as this news came out, there was a lot of applause in the country, and everyone felt that Galaxy Technology was mentally ill and was not making money.
And those foreign mobile phone brands became panicked.
Samsung, which was still pushing back, quickly passed various agreements with Galaxy Technology after holding another meeting.
In the end, Samsung obtained Galaxy Technology’s decision to withdraw the lawsuit with a settlement fee of 1.5 billion Chinese dollars.
In addition, Samsung also agreed to use 3% of the ex-factory price of the mobile phone as a patent licensing fee to obtain a patent license for the artificial intelligence assistant.
Samsung originally wanted to hide this news.
However, Galaxy Technology did not cooperate and immediately announced it on the official website.
As a result, the entire network was shocked.
1.5 billion settlement fee!
No matter how much Samsung emphasizes that the Meipai incident was caused by the mistakes of the technical team and the omissions of outsourced employees, netizens do not believe a word of it.
Because netizens are not fools. If there was no infringement, how could Samsung pay out a settlement fee of 1.5 billion.
Fortunately, what makes Samsung more gratified is that although many people think that the Samsung Meipai incident plagiarized Galaxy Technology, they still expressed their expectation for Samsung's new phone.
It can be considered the good news among the bad news.
As a result, only apples remain.
Wang Donglai also made a condition for Apple, a settlement fee of US$500 million!
Otherwise, Apple will be sued globally.
The news reached Apple headquarters, and Apple executives held meetings one after another, and finally had no choice but to accept it.
As for the artificial intelligence mobile assistant, Apple has not chosen to accept it, but is preparing to increase the size of its R&D team to catch up.
It happened to hit it off with Google, which was impacted by Galaxy Technology's technology, and they joined forces to prepare for larger-scale investment and research and development in the field of artificial intelligence.
Galaxy Technology has not made the settlement with Apple public.
This is mainly because Apple would rather not reconcile and drag it out than accept the news.
So both parties have signed a confidentiality agreement.
However, this can only be hidden from netizens, but everyone within the industry knows everything that should be known.
For a time, Galaxy Technology, which won a settlement of US$500 million from Apple, once again became a hot commodity. (End of this chapter)
