Chapter 974: Westlake University
Zhou Shi was hot-headed for a while, and he offended Baidu all of a sudden, you must know that there is nothing wrong with offending ordinary people in Huaxia, anyway, the public is forgetful, and it won't take long to forget all about the previous things. One second can shed tears for a person, and the next second can conclusively knock people down the abyss. There are many examples, whether it is a boycott of Japanese products, or a boycott of certain companies or brands, most of the time it is just a gust of wind, or it will not be long before there will be a retaliatory backlash.
Offending a business or offending an entrepreneur is different, there are many people who think about entrepreneurs, even if there is no contradiction, the public will create contradictions for two public figures. For example, the marriage problem between Goudong's Dongge and Milk Tea Meimei, so many people are looking forward to breaking them up. The problem is that it is still very possible, whether it is media reporters or the people who eat melons, they are all doing evil, reminding them of this moral incident, it seems that the innocent milk tea beauty is heinous and shameless if she does not divorce Dong Ge. Therefore, Zhou Shi's criticism of Baidu will always be remembered by Robin Lee, and even ten years later, someone will kindly remind them.
Why don't domestic entrepreneurs express their opinions on public events, and it goes without saying that the design of the imperial court is made. It is not easy to say about other enterprises, most of the well-known entrepreneurs are the first generation, and their influence in the enterprise is very huge, and it is very likely that they will do some irrational things against the laws of business. The mouth is fast for a while, and if the mouth is fast all the time, you can only be unlucky all the time. Not to mention that some entrepreneurs may unknowingly stand on two sides with the general public, and their positions are already different. Naturally, it's hard to hear!
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Shi returned to Yanjing, not to apologize to Robin Lee, Baidu already had a big problem. I don't know if Robin Lee is afraid of losing his rights, no matter how good Baidu's second-in-command is, it will be difficult for him to survive in the company for a long time. Not to mention Baidu's values!
If penguins are harmless, Ali has ideals, and whiteness is the kind that has lost faith. For the sake of lucrative medical advertising, I don't care if it will have a bad impact on society. However, Zhou Shi actually doesn't have much opinion on Baidu's approach, and the reason why the company can survive well without morality is just that many people just don't want to admit it, those who continue to use the Baidu search service while scolding Baidu, and those in charge and relevant departments.
But that's fine, the bigger the whiteness matter, the higher Yahoo Search's market share in China. You must know that the gap between the quality and whiteness of Yahoo search is not much, and unlike 360 and Sogou, which have huge money-making pressure. Fortunately, Zhou Shi had Yahoo, and after making a mistake, he threw Yahoo out and said, "Come to Yahoo, it's cleaner here!"
Because of this sentence, people "saw through" their intentions, but no one developed too many associations.
Zhou Shi returned to Yenching this time because "Westlake University" still appeared, and he wanted him to become a funder. At the beginning, Zhou Shi directly refused, so the 100 million small target Lao Wang and the women's clothing boss accompanied Xiao Ma Ge to invest in this Westlake University, and Shi Yigong, Chen Shiyi, Pan Jianwei, Rao Yi, Qian Yingyi and other well-known scholars issued an initiative to express their support.
Among them, Pan Jianwei is the father of quantum communication, and Time's quantum computer project has received his help. However, he still refused his request.
Jackma also did not sponsor Westlake University, a non-profit high-end scientific research institution, but Jackma also had a reason to invest in Lakeside University, Guo Guangchang, Liu Chuanzhi and others also invested in this business school. It seems that only Zhou Shi, the richest man in the world, has not invested in a higher education institution.
When he returned to Yenching, some experts and professors from the Analysys International think tank and several advocates of Lakeside University, including Pan Jianwei, were waiting for him. It is hoped that Zhou Shi can support the first new type of research university in the history of China that is organized by social forces and supported by the state.
Zhou Shi did not like the model of Westlake University from the beginning, they adhered to the "high starting point, small and refined, research-oriented" school positioning, focusing on science, life and health, cutting-edge technology and other directions to set up first-level disciplines, to be the Chinese California Institute of Technology and Stanford University, to be a high-end scientific research and applied private university.
Well, there are still ideals to be had, but the question is whether to study comprehensively or partially? Is it really necessary to be an elite educational institution? Except for those talented students, will the vast majority of students be those from superior family conditions? To be honest, if this matter is analyzed rationally, it is really good, and it will have many benefits for the development of science and technology in China. But the question is, why do elite education?
"One of the purposes of the establishment of Time is to let ordinary people have more opportunities in the future world, and my pursuit is to build a relatively fair society. Instead of a world ruled by elites!" Zhou Shi
"We don't have the idea of doing elite education!" said Shi Yigong
"What is the tuition fee for the future undergraduate education at Westlake University, and can it be the same as public education?" Zhou Shi, the tuition fee of most ordinary colleges and universities is less than 5,000 yuan, and most of the other funds have to rely on financial allocations, and there were taxes in the past. But Westlake University is a private university, and their expected renewal standards may be in line with those of the lighthouse country. Even if the tuition fee is as high as 300,000 yuan, Zhou Shi thinks that this school will be overcrowded. There is no shortage of rich people in China......
Even if it is the school's funding, Zhou Shi does not think that there will be a big problem, and Westlake University must have made a commitment to settle in Zhejiang. For example, how much money and policy investment the local court will have, the preparation of Westlake University has been considered.
And if Westlake University sets up some unspoken rules, such as donors and alumni descendants have priority, such as the patented technology produced by the university, donors have priority, and patents generated by a certain scientific research project are obtained by donors...... Once it has been implemented and it has an effect (a patent is very promising...... After that. Westlake University is easy to do without bad money!
"I would rather invest in basic education than in elite education, which is different from my ideals!" Zhou Shi firmly believes in his own judgment and maintains his original intention. The enterprise is an excellent scientific research institution, and the efficiency is much higher than that of the school. In his opinion, colleges and universities are a lot of investment, and then a long-term choice, blooming a not very beautiful flower...... And not a high-tech like Westlake University. This is what businesses should do!
"......" everyone was suddenly silent, and the latest chapter of "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legendary Claw Book House" was read for free for the first time.
