Chapter 236: Someone's sky is about to fall again
What bad intentions can young people have?
Think about it, the vast majority of ordinary working people in the new city of the West Region can also spend dozens of dollars to get an expert account, and no longer have to worry about not being able to afford the ambulance fee;
Only 20% of your income can meet your monthly living needs. You don’t need a private car and you can enjoy a convenient and fast public transportation system;
Convenient A fast two-wheeled electric vehicle can shuttle through the streets and alleys, and use a cashless payment system to rectify all kinds of thefts;
Basic livelihood prices will be guaranteed. Brush lunch loans into the historical garbage dump, and replace them with the nutrition improvement plan for compulsory education students;
There are more free public toilets, and it is prohibited to scatter in the subway... I want to come Ordinary people should prefer this new city with a vibrant and refreshed look.
As for those capitalists... this has nothing to do with him. The only thing Qiao Yu wants to have something to do with these big guys is to share wealth and wealth.
In fact, from the perspective of Chinese people, any grand narrative cannot be separated from the daily life of ordinary people.
Or the daily life of ordinary people is the true deconstruction of all grand narratives.
So which side is integrated and which side is the most important thing is the projection of collective consciousness of ordinary people. In other words, the final fusion is the assimilation of self-confidence.
Obviously, the opposite side is no longer so confident now.
Otherwise, I wouldn't beg for the door.
So although Qiao Yu said a lot of things he didn't believe, he didn't have any psychological burden.
He has been tricked from high-tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc.... Well, no, can the money he earns be transferred to ordinary Americans?
The answer is obviously no.
This large amount of money eventually fell into the hands of those capitalists and turned into a bunch of cold numbers on the account.
So it's better to get it first, as it may also reduce resistance to the integration brought by future cultural confidence. From this point of view, Qiao Yu felt that he was doing good deeds.
Jiu Yu thought it was acceptable for most people in the world to live a good life quickly.
Even Qiao Yu was moved by himself, feeling that he had made such a huge sacrifice. If he did not bring in some private goods, his moral standards would be too noble.
After all, he doesn't want to be a saint.
The most important thing is that those who work on technology are relatively simple. But Qiao Yu felt that when John Martinis reported this, the management felt that their conditions were too simple and might not be adaptable.
After all, Qiao Yu felt that the impression that he gave people was not that kind of person who was particularly easy to talk to.
So when John Martinis decided to temporarily end this historic call, Qiao Yu added a small condition.
"John, I almost forgot to tell you that I have a small request."
After saying that, he didn't give John Martinis a chance to react, Qiao Yu continued, "You may not know yet. I have some unhappiness with the University of California, Berkeley. So if Google really wants to work with me happily... …
Well, it is best to publicly cancel or suspend a series of possible cooperation now and in the future before we officially reach a cooperation. "
"These are trivial matters..." br>
The mind was full of how to report the results of the negotiations with Qiao Yu to the leader, and how to persuade senior Google executives to agree to Qiao Yu's request. Before he could react, he responded casually.
But soon he realized that this seemed no small matter.
After all, Google seems to have a lot of cooperation with Berkeley. Including artificial intelligence, robot research, and many other fields.
Of course, it is mainly Google that pays money and asks Berkeley professors to do things with the research team. After all, Berkeley is still well-known in the field of computer science.
In theory, it is not a big problem for Google. There are still many powerful universities in the United States.
Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Massachusetts, Stanford...
As long as you are a funder, who will you cooperate with, not? Even if there are amazing talents at Berkeley, with Google's influence, those professors will naturally choose to change jobs.
Professors who can bring their own programs will welcome any university in the world with both hands.
The only question is, if there is no reason, Google suddenly announced such a news, what will the people at Berkeley think?
In addition, John Martinis really couldn't figure out how Berkeley provoked Qiao Yu. He has never heard of such a big gossip in the academic circle.
"Well... that, although this is indeed not a big deal, there must be a reason. After all, the company is about the spirit of contract. We cannot terminate the cooperation without reason, just start the previous cooperation immediately. All are suspended or cancelled.” John Martinis said in embarrassment.
Qiao Yu just smiled and replied: "It's okay, Professor John. Anyway, you have to report my thoughts to the above. You only need to talk about my conditions with the conditions just now.
As for Whether to accept it is the above consideration and has nothing to do with you. We Chinese call cooperation fate. If the upper class cannot agree with my conditions, it only means that our fate has not yet arrived."
A very euphemistic statement .
But John Martinis already understood that this condition will not be a big deal, but a necessary condition for the two parties to reach cooperation.
"Can I ask? Dr. Qiao, what are the unpleasant things between you and Berkeley? I think maybe there is a misunderstanding between this.
You know, I know a lot of people at Berkeley, professors and even members of the board. Maybe I can help you communicate and resolve the misunderstandings. "
John Martinis said this with good intentions, but Qiao Yu suddenly became difficult to communicate with and said firmly: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. John, I know you are a good person, but this matter is undiscussed.
And it's not just Google. Including Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Nvidia and other... In short, as long as I propose companies that want to cooperate with us in quantum simulation computing, I will make the same request.
If Google agrees to this condition, I am even willing to make some concessions in the forward stock option rewards. By the way, I am also promoting China University to cancel all cooperation with Berkeley.
I believe you will receive news from Huaxia soon, so you don’t have to persuade me anymore, it’s useless to persuade me. Of course this is not your fault, or even Berkeley's fault.
Okay, let’s stop here today. You know, I have some other talks. Alas, the jet lag is really annoying. Goodbye John. "
"Wait, Dr. Qiao, there is one more thing. ”
“Oh? What's up? "
"That's right. This year's Quantum Computing Industry Development Conference is planned to be held in South Korea. The conference organizing committee has sent you an invitation letter. Will you attend this conference? "
"I have no interest in this at all, and I don't have time, so I probably won't go. goodbye. ”
"Oh, then goodbye, Dr. Joe." John Martinis had only time to respond, and the opposite side quickly hung up the video.
When he came back, the video was dark.
This important Google scientist sat there for a long time without coming back to his senses. The little guy on the other side is going to mobilize the entire industry to boycott Berkeley! What kind of hatred is this that can make a genius boy feel so much resentment?
No matter how famous Berkeley is, no matter how strong he is, he cannot withstand such a play!
If this news spreads, there will be a lot fewer candidates applying for Berkeley.
For such a scientific research university, the professors in the most powerful major cannot get investment or start projects, which will definitely be devastating to cause a blow.
If Qiao Yu really had to play like this, it would probably be removed from the top universities in a few years.
The boss has left, who else can be left?
But what does this have to do with him?
As Qiao Yu said, he just needs to report to the above. As for whether to agree with Qiao Yu's suggestions in the end, it is a question that the boss needs to consider.
…
After packing up, John Martinis picked up the phone and dialed Thomas Curian directly.
The senior vice president of the group and his direct superior had already explained to him that no matter what the result was, he must report it as soon as possible after the talks with Qiao Yu.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
John Martinis could also feel the urgency of Thomas Curian. The phone was called and it was just ringing.
You should know that he called Thomas before, and it often took a long time to answer. This also made John Martinis suddenly feel a strange feeling.
Google executives are likely to agree to Qiao Yu's conditions.
Even if in a sense, this practice does not conform to what he believes is business ethical constraints.
But as soon as the phone was answered, the first question asked by the other side made him feel a little strange.
"Have you finished the talk? Did Qiao Yu agree to attend the quantum computing conference held on South Korea?"
"Yes, it has been talked about. He refused the conference and expressed his disinterest." After a moment of silence on the other side, he continued to ask, "Okay, what are the suggestions for our cooperation?"
"He rejected our proposal because of some scientific research ethics and moral considerations, but Joe The doctor felt that we could use another way of cooperation…”
John Martinis briefly explained Qiao Yu’s idea.
"Huh? Cooperation in theory? He is even willing to help us cultivate relevant talents?"
"Yes, it does not involve specific technologies, but he will train a group of talents who can understand the essence of their theory and cooperate with it. Our engineers do related research and development.
But he has another condition. If his condition is not met, he will not recognize anything we discussed before. He will not cooperate with Google. ”
John Martinis said truthfully on the phone. "Damn it! I hope this is not a requirement that is incomprehensible and impossible to achieve!"
"In fact, this requirement is indeed difficult to understand, but I don't think it's difficult to achieve it."
"Oh? Damn it, don't keep it a secret, what exactly does he want?"
"He wants Google to suspend immediately, preferably terminate all cooperation with Berkeley. At least during the technical cooperation with us, we should not have any technical cooperation with Berkeley in any way."
"Ahem... that, are you sure you didn't misunderstand Qiao Yu's intentions, just terminate your cooperation with Berkeley?"
"Yes, I'm very sure. He's very sure about this. It's even more us. , including other companies that want to cooperate with, he will make the same request. For this reason, he can even ask for less incentive options.
In addition, he has used his influence to make the Chinese academic community cancel various forms of cooperation with Berkeley. Don't ask me why, I asked, but he refused to say it. "
Although John Martinis said this clearly, Thomas Curian still felt a little confused.
"So anyone at Berkeley offended Dr. Joe? "
"I just said, I don't know why, but this is the prerequisite, and if you refuse, there is no need to talk about it. "
Silenced on the phone for a full half minute. John Martinis almost thought that Thomas was going to do something else, and the voice came slowly.
"Okay, I understand. Have you made an appointment for the second meeting?"
"He added my number to the whitelist. If we have news here, we can rest at any time. "Then...Professor Martinis. Then you need to come to Alphabet headquarters now. I think Mr. Pichai will hope to listen to your report in person."
"Okay. Are you going to set out now?"
"Yes, right away."
...
Jo Yu is trustworthy when venting his anger. That night, Qiao Yu talked about three companies, whether they were the other party’s technical supervisor or company executives, they all made the same requests.
Money, stocks, incentive options and other benefits can be discussed, but there is no need to discuss the termination of cooperation between Berkeley.
There is only one prerequisite, which really makes many people confused. It also quickly spread throughout the world and academic circles.
The International Conference of Mathematicians has only been two months, and the attention brought by the Fields Medal has not completely dissipated. Qiao Yu has just held a report meeting at Yanbei University and announced the latest results It even directly affects the stability of the financial system.
It was when the world paid the most attention to this young scholar that suddenly made such a news that it really made everyone's glasses.
Everyone began to inquire everywhere about what was going on. Which master Berkeley offended this rookie master in mathematics.
And it is so big that you must have a deep hatred, so was it a professor at Berkeley who robbed Qiao Yu's achievements?
So someone began to ask the editors of major mathematics journals whether a professor from Berkeley was publishing papers recently, and the research coincided with Qiao Yu...
As for the board of directors of Berkeley, only It feels like the sky is falling!
