Chapter 231 Participate in the ICPC qualifiers?
"ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition Shanghai Division Qualifier? ICPC?"
Xu Qingshan looked at the brief message Chen Dayue sent to him.
On September 20 this year, the online preliminaries of the 34th ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition Asia Qualifiers (Shanghai Division) will be held at East China University.
Chen Dayue came over to ask Xu Qingshan if he was interested in participating.
After all, Xu Qingshan had already shown his talent in the computer field as early as the first half of the year. Although Chen Dayue didn't know Xu Qingshan's strength in more practical projects such as programming, as the current leader of Peking University, he As Xu Qingshan’s life mentor, he will remind Xu Qingshan of these related events.
The main reason is to prevent Xu Qingshan from missing a lot of news because he is in Yuanpei College.
The Academy of Information Science and Technology has already notified it.
Xu Qingshan was a little interested. He simply replied to Chen Dayue. Chen Dayue replied instantly. If he was interested, he would go directly to the dean's office of the Academy of Information Science and Technology after finishing the introduction to information science and technology class tomorrow afternoon. He Mei Hong has been notified and Mei Hong will help him handle it.
If you were just an ordinary Yuanpei College student, you would naturally not have so many department heads and deans to help with these trivial matters.
But if this person is Xu Qingshan.
The deans of each college would be eager to look for him.
In fact, Chen Dayue could handle the registration for the ACM qualifiers, but when Mei Hong came to Chen Dayue to talk about it, he repeatedly emphasized that if Xu Qingshan was willing to participate, he must let Xu Qingshan go to him and have something to explain.
After Xu Qingshan agreed, he casually searched for information about ICPC on his mobile phone.
But I discovered that the 33rd ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition Global Finals was held in Stockholm, Sweden, in late April this year.
The team from the St. Petersburg Institute of Information, Precision Mechanics and Optics from Russia successfully defended the championship.
Huaqing University next door won the runner-up, St. Petersburg University won the third place, and Saratov University won the fourth place. The top four schools all won gold medals, and Oxford University, Jiangdong University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Altai Technical University won the third place. The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth places were awarded silver medals. The University of Warsaw, University of Waterloo, University of Tbilisi, Carnegie Mellon University and South China University of Technology were ranked ninth to thirteenth and won bronze medals.
And the Peking University team didn’t even make the final list of winners.
In terms of engineering, even Peking University has invested a lot of money in the construction of the School of Information, but it is still difficult to achieve results.
This is exactly the same as Huaqing spending a lot of money on mathematics construction.
These two brothers can be regarded as twins to a certain extent.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Huanxi woke up leisurely and saw Xu Qingshan turning on the computer and meditating on his mobile phone.
There was no class in the first period in the afternoon, so they went back to Yandong Garden to take a short lunch break.
"Teacher Chen asked me if I would participate in the ACM Programming Competition. I agreed. When the time comes, we will need three people to form a team. You can also invite Ye Qianqian."
Xu Qingshan made up his mind.
"hold head high?"
Jiang Huanxi sat up from the bed. She was wearing a lace nightgown, and she looked a little confused.
"But Qianqian doesn't understand computers? I don't know much about it either. I may be able to do math-related algorithms, but I'm really bad at writing programs."
Jiang Huanxi was a little annoyed to wake up.
It's just that she didn't get angry when she got up, but got up from the bed softly and moved to Xu Qingshan's side.
Xu Qingshan understood, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and let her sit on his lap.
"It's okay, I'll be fine."
Xu Qingshan was also thinking about it. He didn't pursue this kind of competition that much. He just wanted to participate. After all, he had not tried to challenge the difficult programming competition in the past, so he just wanted to try it this time.
"Then if we two can't help."
Jiang Huanxi has always disliked herself holding Xu Qingshan back, which is also one of the important driving forces for her to study hard now.
"It doesn't matter, I haven't tried it either. This time we focus on participation."
Xu Qingshan stroked the girl's hair with his palm and said slowly.
"Yeah."
Jiang Huanxi buried her little face into Xu Qingshan's neck and narrowed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of a close lover.
"By the way, I have to take leave from my evening class tonight. It's a chemistry class. I need to go out. Do you want to come with me?"
Xu Qingshan was talking about Wang Chuan.
"Can I come along?"
Jiang Huanxi raised his head.
"sure."
That night, after class 7-8, Xu Qingshan took Jiang Huanxi out of the east gate of Beijing University. Wang Chuan had already been waiting outside the door in his Maybach.
They are already college students, so naturally there is no need to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time.
And there are countless luxury cars in the capital.
Even if it is a classic Maybach, it will at most make people passing by take a second look, and it will not be focused on.
Xu Qingshan opened the door first to let Jiang Huanxi get in the car, and then got in from the other door.
"Boss lady, boss."
Wang Chuan was very discerning, and he greeted Jiang Huanxi first as soon as he got in the car.
It's just that this strange-sounding call made Jiang Huanxi a little unresponsive.
"Let's go. Are the restaurant arrangements ready?"
"Xiao Nanguo, we've booked a private room. Mr. Lin should have almost arrived."
"good."
Jiang Huanxi was a little nervous.
She already knew that she was going to have dinner with Xu Qingshan's uncle and grandma tonight. But what Wang Chuan actually came to see Xu Qingshan was discussed in the car.
"Brother Chuan, how is the situation between the two sides recently?"
"The yard over at Nanchizi has now completed the procedures and started to demolish some of the exterior buildings. The design team has been invited and we are currently conducting on-site surveys. When the survey is completed, we will see what style of design plan you like."
Wang Chuan held the steering wheel with both hands and said.
"Okay, I'll stop by and have a look after dinner in the evening."
Xu Qingshan nodded.
"The situation at the milk tea shop is a little more complicated. The shop on the corner with the best business rejected the acquisition intention, but a small shop next to it agreed, but the lease of that shop is about to expire."
"How's the situation in that store?"
Xu Qingshan asked.
"In the survey, that small store has the highest reputation and repurchase rate, but because there is only one shop owner, it is slow to place orders, and the price is higher than next door, so the customer flow is not actually large."
Wang Chuan drove steadily without squinting.
"The information is on the passenger side, you can take a look."
"The owner of this shop uses fresh fruits to make milk tea and fruit tea? And he also researches the tea style himself? The response is good?"
"Yes, it's also because of this that the unit price of his milk tea is several yuan higher than that of the store next door with the best customer flow."
Xu Qingshan looked at the pile of information in the document bag provided by Wang Chuan, as well as the actual pictures taken at the scene.
From the perspective of market research, Wang Chuan has done a very good job, with a sense of beauty that combines a private detective and a data analyst.
"The research is well done."
"I formed a temporary team based on my boss's advice. I can only direct, and the rest of the specific work is done by the people in the team."
Xu Qingshan was quite satisfied.
Wang Chuan has shown that he has a certain ability to lead a team, so he can safely leave the milk tea brand to him.
"Then go and talk to the owner of this small shop. I think his lease will end in November?"
"Yes, he is now debating whether to renew the lease because the customer flow is not enough, the profitability of his store is not high enough, and the rent will increase in the next period."
"No more renting."
Xu Qingshan put away the information and said.
"You go and set up a company to be responsible for the incubation of milk tea brands. In the early stage, you will build a milk tea brand first. You go talk to the owner of this small store and ask for his people and equipment. He will open the first flagship store. Become a store manager and set up a research and development team to research more milk tea and fruit tea styles. "
Xu Qingshan first set the tone for the next goal when he opened his mouth.
"There is no need to continue to rent the store there. We can directly rent a large store in Wudaokou Shopping Center."
“Then it might not be cheap.”
Wang Chuan hesitated.
Although they are both in the same sector, the prices of ordinary street stores and stores inside well-known shopping malls are different.
“To build a brand image, this money should be spent.”
Xu Qingshan said.
"The new store will be rented starting from November, and we will try to open it smoothly in December."
"During this period, you leave the work of connecting the design team of Nanchizi Street to my old uncle and let him handle it on the side, while you focus on the milk tea brand."
"In the past month or so, you have been doing some research in the capital first, and then going to Shanghai and Hangzhou. You can check out Tea Hundred Ways, Mixue Ice City, Shu Yishao Xiancao, and the CoCo we drank that day. , go and investigate and find out.”
Xu Qingshan's words made Wang Chuan hesitate for a moment.
"That's if you use a car."
"Let's leave the car in Yan Dongyuan first. I have a driver's license, so you can go about your business with peace of mind."
Xu Qingshan smiled.
"This time the matter is done, then we can just hire a new driver in the name of the company."
"OK."
Wang Chuan was remembering the names of those milk tea brands.
"For the new company, I will provide full capital. You will hold 13% of the shares, I will hold 80%, and the other 7% will be used as equity incentives for R&D and marketing."
"Let's get the first direct-operated flagship store ready first. I will sort out my thoughts tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and arrange a specific resource integration model for you. You can familiarize yourself with it in advance."
"I will participate in the early start-up and operation of the company. You should also get started quickly. The follow-up work will be arranged for you. Go ahead and do it boldly. Don't be afraid of losses."
Xu Qingshan said.
"You are my person, and you are worth the cost of trial and error."
"Thank you, boss."
Wang Chuan held the steering wheel tightly with both hands.
After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall, Xu Qingshan asked before getting out of the car.
"Okay, don't you really want to eat together later tonight?"
"No, I plan to check out other milk tea shops."
Wang Chuan is still steady, but the unstoppable look of excitement in his eyes proves that he is also looking forward to future development.
Maybe I’ve been working a lot lately, and my heart wasn’t feeling well when I was typing last night. I lay down on the bed to relieve my pain, but fell asleep as soon as I lay down.
Today I will catch up on the early morning update, and try to advance the evening update time. Yesterday, I solved all the complicated work recently. I can't stay up any longer, it's too overdraft.
