Chapter 222: Iron Bones Don't Eat
"Brother, that American 'Schulhoff' from our school today, on behalf of Tencoin Entertainment, also brought a Stanford professor to talk about the commission training exchange program, was it instructed by you!
Before class ends today, the school issued an urgent notice saying that the selection exam will be held tomorrow, and it was organized temporarily, and now the students are in a mess! Why don't you even tell me!"
On the afternoon of the day when Shulhoff went to Zhejiang University to make waves, as soon as Gu Min returned home, he immediately picked up the phone and called his younger brother in the capital to question the truth.
On the phone, Gu Xiao calmly persuaded her sister not to get excited: "Sister, don't worry, my plane will go back to Qiantang tonight, and I will make it clear to you in person when the time comes-the reason why I don't tell you is that I am afraid that you will spread the word, if people know the so-called 'sponsorship of the president of an American company in Silicon Valley', in fact, there is a Chinese standing behind it, and the threshold of our family has not been broken!"
And this kind of thing is too hateful, Shengmi en's hatred, it's better to let Schulhoff stand in the front desk to play the iron-faced and selfless role, let's just use people in the back to collect the accounts. β
As soon as Gu Biao explained this, my sister immediately understood.
Don't look at the business of Tiankun Media/Tiankun Entertainment has become so big now, and there is a turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars this year (counting the box office share of "Terminator", it is still not enough to buy 100 million just by selling game consoles, and it is only tens of millions. οΌ
However, the English translation of the brand "Tencoin" has definitely not been promoted in China.
Because Gu Biao will only put this LOGO on the boot display interface of the game console, the game opening interface, and even the game console shell. And Gu Xiao's game console has never been sold to Chinese mainland so far, and people in China can only recognize it unless they have played the game console there when they travel to the United States.
With the English level of the Chinese people in 1981 and the ability to transliterate and associate, Gu Biao felt that even in Zhejiang University, except for Yang Hao, Lu Yunda and a few other people he was going to dig, everyone else did not know the truth.
This provided him with the best smoke bomb to hide his fame and prevent him from making mistakes.
Gu Min whispered into the phone: "Okay, I don't blame you, then Yang Hao and they themselves know? I was surprised when I saw him at noon today, and then he was very eager to try, I should have guessed it." β
Gu Biao: "Sister, don't worry about this, you invite the four of them to come to the house for dinner tonight, or eat outside, the time is about a little later, I will personally explain to them a few words, about the exam." β
Gu Min: "Then I'll rest assured." β
Gu Biao: "Also, in order to prevent outsiders from seeing it, I won't arrange for you to study abroad, that's too eye-catching, you can go wherever the school assigns you to whichever unit you are assigned to." β
Gu Min: "I know! I still need to say this! I won't go abroad if you ask me to go abroad! I'm still going to wait for Ashin to get married after graduation next year, how can I go to the United States to study." β
Gu Biao stroked his forehead and suddenly said: "It's me who is a villain in vain, okay, then you go to the unit to work hard for a year or two, and when the wind is not so tight, I will get you a place to study abroad without pay." β
Gu Min hung up the phone, hurriedly drove back to school, gathered Yang Hao and the four backbones who worked for Gu Biao after school, and pulled them to the exhibition hotel to open a box for dinner.
A group of people ate and waited, drank a little wine, and spent until nine o'clock in the evening, when Gu Biao rushed back to the city from Cambridge Airport.
"Mr. Gu!" Yang Hao and the four of them saw Gu Biao enter the box, and hurriedly got up and stood solemnly.
Gu Biao has the demeanor of a big man: "Sit down, wait for a hurry." β
The horses hurriedly humbled themselves: "No, Sister Min is too polite, and let us eat first." The food is so good, I am willing to eat it for a long time. β
Gu Biao nodded: "Then I won't bother to talk, I will mainly tell you about the proposition ideas for tomorrow's noon exam." I don't do anything to leak the question, not to mention that the topic is not made by me, it is a professor at Stanford - people are also world-famous schools, do you have a specialization in the art industry, this bit of face still has to be given, and the one who can but does not win will win.
What I can decide is nothing more than the direction of the ability to be examined and what talents are needed to enter the work of Tiankun in the future, so the other party will strictly follow the direction of the investigation I provide, which is roughly the same as the skills you usually use for me in research and development......"
Gu Biao spoke for half an hour, explaining the key points of the assessment.
He didn't think it was cheating, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with not giving other outsiders a fair chance to compete.
Fairness, for public education, the state pays for it, and of course all taxpayers must be fair.
And Stanford is a private university, so it has the right to do special things. What's more, this money is from Gu Biao, he wants whoever he wants, and going through the motions is nothing more than adapting to China's national conditions, lest those who have never heard of private education get into the horns of the bull and never forget to pull the hatred value.
"Mr. Gu, don't worry, if we can't pass the test in this way, we won't have the face to be a man. After listening to the outline, Yang Hao and the others patted their chests and said that there was no problem.
"Then I won't delay you, sleep well tonight, and sort it out tomorrow morning, I believe you also need to cramm. β
β¦β¦
In the afternoon of the second day, more than 300 candidates from the School of Digital Sciences and the Institute of Electrical Engineering of Zhejiang University poured into the eight examination rooms and classrooms - in fact, there are more than 200 numbers here that have already been set up to receive units, but they still have to come over to try their luck.
No way, no matter how good the unit in China is, it is completely incomparable with going to Stanford to study for graduate school.
Everyone did not know the content of the exam in advance, only that it was an extension of the internal proposition from the undergraduate courses of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences and even the Institute of Electrical Engineering, and even the follow-up practice.
So everyone is very confused, and they can only improvise.
There is only one exam in total, and the exam is completed in three hours in a row, and there are several exam papers, which is very messy.
As soon as the exam papers were sent, everyone forcibly calmly flipped through them, and found that the papers on the side of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences included algorithm thought optimization, C language, assembly language, and a small amount of mathematical analysis.
Of course, all language courses can be answered on paper, and it is impossible to give people a computer - historically, the Institute of Mathematics of Zhejiang University equipped itself with a small computer/microcomputer about 1984, and now there is only one computer (small computer) in the province.
"It's over! Why is the topic so biased! Sure enough, they are all proud that they will use it in their project, right? I have prepared more than others, but I definitely can't get another spot......
Chai Qian read the question a little and became flustered.
But in fact, she is quite good, because she has always been secretly observing what classes Yang Hao is learning, so she is secretly ready to think of a common language, and when she chooses a topic tutor in her junior year, she can be regarded as a tutor with Yang Hao.
Other top students in the school who usually perform better, especially those whose research direction and supervisor are not quite right, are even more confused at the moment.
"Damn! It's all algorithmic ideas and programming applications! This is not fair! How can this kind of class represent the frontier and difficult points of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences!" The top students were indignant.
"Teacher, the scope of this topic should not be our major!" A student couldn't help it and stood up in protest.
"Ye Maosheng, sit down for me! This is a question from Stanford, what do you have to question, they want to choose the talents they need!" the invigilator scolded sharply, but he gave the other party one last chance to repent and take the test.
However, Ye Maosheng, whose thinking mode is still at the stage of the national character, does not appreciate it.
"This is definitely not the university's selection criteria, it's the sponsor's selection criteria!
The invigilator was furious, pointed his nose and drove people away: "You let me out! You actually disturb the order of the examination room? If you shout again, I will punish you and transfer you to an assigned unit where no one goes!"
The last deterrence is still a bit powerful, although Ye Maosheng has received his graduation certificate, but it is also very miserable to be disgusted in the assigned unit, so he can only leave the scene in grief.
Two hours later, the results were in. It was posted directly in front of the book and newspaper column of the teaching building of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences.
"The list of those who have passed the written examination of the United States: Academy of Digital Sciences: Yang Hao, Dai Jianguo...... Electric Power Institute: Lu Yunda, Fu Desheng...... Please stay for a while and attend the emergency interview in the evening. β
Neither Gu Min nor Chai Qian appeared on the list of those who passed the written test.
Especially Gu Min did not appear, which gradually extinguished the conspiracy theories in the venue.
"Minmin, do you say that I am hopeless with pride, what I was worried about really happened, woo woo woo ......" Chai Fei felt a little weak in her legs and feet, squatted on the ground and sobbed.
"It's okay, you have to believe in pride, he will definitely come back after graduation, or he is developed in the United States, earns money, and pulls you to work together." You are not in a hurry, and it is not too late to get married at the age of 25. Gu Min could only comfort him.
Of course, what she said was also the truth, Chai Fei was not a particularly old candidate, and she was only 22 years old when she finished high school and caught up with the college entrance examination.
But when these words fell on Chai Xuan's ears, she heard a few different meanings: "Minmin, do you know the details of this sponsored American company?"
Gu Min's expression was cold: "Sister Chai, if you want to be with Pride, it's best not to ask, it's not good for you." β
The other party was immediately silent.
Those who failed in the written test went to the cafeteria to eat something in a hurry, and then came back to watch, and everyone was curious about the final result, even if they had been brushed off, they had to see who was officially selected.
The hospital was under a lot of pressure for a while.
Dean Zhu of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences also had to take time out to sit in on the oral examination at Stanford to show his concern for his classmates.
Although he does not have the right to score.
The final result, without any suspense, was that four of the people who had followed Gu Biao got the quota of Americans.
However, early the next morning, some unconvinced people ran to the bottom of Dean Zhu's office building to secretly post big characters and pull banners.
There are also small leaflets distributed, saying that the Academy of Mathematical Sciences has lost its power and humiliated the country, allowed foreigners to blindly formulate talent selection standards, and lost all the iron bones left by the old dean Su in the past. (Academician Su Buqing served as the dean of mathematics at Zhejiang University in history, and the time in the book is the president of Fudan.) οΌ
Early in the morning, a big-name professor surnamed Chen walked into Dean Zhu's office and shouted for his proud protΓ©gΓ©: "Dean! I looked at the so-called selection yesterday, and it doesn't represent the highest academic level of our Academy of Mathematical Sciences fresh graduates at all!"
What can be seen from the topic of the embroidered legs? It does not involve the frontier of mathematical research at all, and the selected students have not assisted in winning any awards for scientific and technological achievements, second, they have not participated in projects at or above the provincial level, and third, they have not published national journal papers.
Among the other outstanding students in our Academy of Mathematical Sciences, there are more than a dozen of them who have done these three. We can't let the likes and dislikes of foreigners and capitalists come from chaos! Where is the backbone of our pursuit of academic independence?"
