Chapter 38: Treasure or Bomb?

Before the Youth League Committee notified the student union, it was a phone call to the instructor, this time Jia Zhengsheng's tone and attitude were so modest that Shi Jiaxun almost doubted that he had talked to him about students to focus on learning before, and even asked himself as a counselor not to get involved, was it a person?

"Teacher Shi, last time, our Youth League Committee was not too thoughtful, so I asked you to go back and wait for news......"

Looking at Jia Zhengsheng with a sincere face, Shi Jiaxun felt that something was wrong, didn't you say that last time......

"Now that the news has been made, after our internal discussion, your application for the club has been approved, we have always respected the wishes of students, and we hope to enrich the daily life of students......"

Not only Jia Zhengsheng, but also other people from the Youth League Committee next to him, in the end, Shi Jiaxun was almost welcomed out of the door, and when he was sent away, the eyes of the people behind him were very eager, this was probably the first time he felt this kind of treatment.

Shi Jiaxun, who came downstairs, looked at the flower bed next to him, a few days ago, when he also walked out of Shaw Tower, he sat in front of this ridge and looked up at the clouds for a long time.

And now, Shi Jiaxun kicked at the flower bed.

Hold one's head high!

Then the person who came from behind the flower bed looked at him in surprise, Shi Jiaxun took his foot back, handed it out and pressed his leg, looked up at him left and right, "How can this be so long?"

"My leg is numb......"

......

"Lao Shi is amazing......"

"Teacher Shi, what are we talking about...... Or your face-......"

"Before, Lao Shi, you told us that it was inappropriate for the Youth League Committee to say it...... As a result, I kept a hand, I don't want us to be disappointed...... After all, people still look at your face and buy it, what do we say, Lao Shi, you are very safe and down-to-earth...... I think it's a good example, you're a counselor, and that's where we learn......"

Shi Jiaxun received extraordinary treatment in 409, a cadre of people let him sit upright, someone next to him lit a cigarette, all kinds of boastful words said that he didn't want money anyway, and someone was ready to come over to beat his legs, Shi Jiaxun threw away the people's hands, with an expression of being about to fight, which made the laughter continue.

Shi Jiaxun is helpless and funny, it seems that he has returned to the days of studying, in fact, Shi Jiaxun also knows that these passions of today's people will eventually fade and stop as college life progresses. The reason why he still runs for them like this is actually because, I hope that one day when they recall the past, they will not feel that they just did a meaningless thing and laugh, but remember that there is a counselor like him who has affirmed their attempts.

"I met a senior brother in the cafeteria before, and he told me at the time, I heard that our Tianxing Club has applied for it, our counselors are too good, and their juniors and seniors have not seen it in HKUST for so many years, this is the first case......

Because basically this matter was finally called by the Youth League Committee to Shi Jiaxun to inform him, everyone thought that it was Shi Jiaxun's face. At this time, surrounded by people again, of course Shi Jiaxun will not deny it, and to be honest, it feels pretty good.

It's just that I always feel that something is wrong, and I wasn't on the opposite side of them...... How did I help them apply by mistake, and in the end, they actually passed it.

So now, the Tianxing Society is officially going to be established with his help.

I feel very happy...... What am I happy about?

The most potential student in the class went to become the president, maybe it will affect his grades in the future, and he is still blindly happy.

Shi Jiaxun felt that he had become a walking contradiction in Escher's paintings.

In the middle of everyone's enthusiastic discussion about the establishment of the association, Shi Jiaxun was standing on the balcony of the bedroom and smoking, Cheng Ran looked at him who had been talking to himself before, Cheng Ran stepped forward, and was alone with him on the balcony, and took the lead in speaking, "Thank you, Mr. Shi." I, the president, can finally be a solid man now. ”

Shi Jiaxun looked at Cheng Ran, "Who did you ......talk to when you received the highest entrance scholarship from HKUST?"

Of course, Shi Jiaxun is not deaf, he has more or less heard some statements about this matter in the teacher's circle, and some things are very mysterious, saying that there are leaders to the Youth League Committee, Jia Zhengsheng was criticized, and the Institute of Computer Science and Technology also spoke...... In short, the things are outlined, and there is a kind of unpredictable but suffocating storm faintly brewing.

That's not a kind of energy that a low-level counselor like him can know, but overall his feelings are there, Jia Zhengsheng's attitude of being condescending, and the eyes of the rest of the Youth League Committee looking at him. It's all there.

Of course, this kind of thing only spreads at the level of the teacher's circle, and he is the instructor of the association concerned, so some news has only flowed to his ears. At the level of ordinary students, of course, they are unaware of this.

If the rumors are true, then why did such a thing happen? Shi Jiaxun does not think that it is because of himself, at least himself, that it is impossible for the Institute of Computer Science and Technology to speak out.

Could it be that those sophomores who want to set up the Tianxing Club have any channels and connections? First, he thinks it's unlikely, he more or less knows those sophomores, he has never heard of anyone with such ability, and the motivation is not enough.

Then the only doubt falls on the candidate for the president of the association. Things are for the Celestial Society, and the president of the Celestial Society...... It's Cheng Ran.

"Provost Chen Xiuping Chen ...... HKUST"

Chen Xiuping is the Provost of HKUST and an assistant to the Provost Poon Ka-man...... If such a person speaks for Cheng Ran, it also has a lot of weight.

Shi Jiaxun smiled, "Don't thank me for this, the above can be passed, I think a big reason is also the reason why you are the representative of the freshmen." It's a trust in you, do a good job. ”

"The support given to us by Mr. Shi is the greatest support. ”

Shi Jiaxun turned his head to look at him, Cheng Ran was just facing the school outside the guardrail, and no one spoke between the two of them, Shi Jiaxun felt for the first time that he was not that simple as a student......

Did you find a treasure, or did you hide a time bomb?

......

In November north of London, the air is cold, Zhao Qing and his team have been stationed in Cambridge for nearly half a month, and before this time, he has traveled back and forth between China and Britain many times, just to sort out the British industry.

On the territory of Tianxing Holdings, it is called the Atlantic Theater.

During the period when the Nasdaq cold wave came and the global technology stock bubble burst, Tianxing Holdings bought two companies in the UK, both of which were small companies, specifically more like workshops.

The privately owned design company, a team of nine people, is unique in signal processing, infinity and multimedia applications.

The other is called Allen Software, which is even smaller with only five people. is a micro company specializing in multi-core debugging technology.

Both are small companies, and Zhao Qing was very surprised when they were listed in the acquisition list, but since the team came to the UK, contacted, researched, and it was not until the final acquisition was completed that Zhao Qing understood that these technology companies were very small, but in fact, they had extremely good results in specializing in a certain aspect, and some could even be said to be groundbreaking.

The so-called pioneering means that in the same field, they are the first, and they are the precedent ahead of everyone.

For example, Allen Software has a unique technology called ASPEX. This technology provides a complete development environment that includes an integrated, context-sensitive editor, build tools, source code version control management, ASPEX debugger, code generation tools, simulations, and other necessary software development tools.

Previously, Allen's basic business was to provide development and debugging solutions for system-on-chip design, which has been going on for many years. It can be said that in this regard, it is also the first in the world.

After Zhao Qing came into contact, he consciously understood Cheng Ran's strategy, that is, this small and micro company, don't look at their single technology, but they are often stuck in the throat of the industry, there is only so much they can do, but that little bit is also a part of the gear in the entire industrial chain.

The point is that the two companies don't spend much, adding up to $1.2 million, and of course leaving some incentive equity for the team to avoid the reduction of the company's efficiency after getting the money. In this cold winter when Nasdaq technology stocks were shattered, this acquisition came unusually smoothly, and even had a taste of charcoal in the snow.

Zhao Qing had to admire Cheng Ran's prediction, in fact, the acquisition of such a small company, in the future, is often to help large technology companies do debugging and provide professional business, just like holding a faucet, and also making money continuously.

Zhao Qing once thought so.

Until one day, an acquirer came to the door.

They claim to be the M&A arm of the UK-based Cambridge Arm International Technology Group.

It is also referred to as ARM by the outside world.
