Chapter 8: Geniuses and Gentlemen
Founded in 1965, Xu Qing's Stanford Department of Computer Science is a popular major, and it is the first university in the United States to set up a computer science major.
Stanford has produced many cattle people, attracting many rich people to send their children to Stanford, such as the two sons of the richest man on Hong Kong Island.
Although if you donate $1.5 million to any university in the United States, the doors of that university will open for you.
But there is a quota, and the related households are preferred, politicians, big entrepreneurs, children of Stanford teachers, etc.
Xu Qing's grandfather has a little relationship with Stanford's principal, Gerhard Caspar, so Xu Qing can study at Stanford only if he is a scumbag.
Xu Qing had to thank the original guy for choosing the Stanford Computer Science Department, although the original guy chose the Computer Science Department because he felt that computers were a fashionable thing.
Reborn in this era, the industry that Xu Qing most wants to enter is the Internet.
Now he's a computer science student at Stanford, and there are a lot of computer talent here, and he can use his alumni status to fool these talents and use them for him.
The parking lot was very close to the classroom where Xu Qing was about to take class, and after walking about 100 meters, Xu Qing came to the classroom.
It's a big classroom that can seat hundreds of people, but now there are very few people in the classroom.
Xu Qing saw a male student with glasses, fluffy hair, and sunken eye sockets sitting in the third row of the classroom, this was Garriti, one of his roommates.
Garrity was a computer genius and created a lot of websites, but it didn't take long for him to sell them and go on to create them.
Garrity once rejected the invitation of Microsoft and Apple, and he felt that large companies like Microsoft and Apple were too bureaucratic, hierarchical and not free enough.
This is a wayward genius.
Xu Qing sat down next to Garriti: "Good morning, Garriti." ”
Garriti's gaze jumped out of the book and fell on Xu Qing's face, he felt that he was hallucinating, took off his glasses, wiped them a few times with the glasses cloth he carried with him, put them back on, and then lowered his head to read the book again.
Xu Qing's greeting hand stopped in mid-air, his expression stiffened, and after a while, he withdrew his hand, his eyes looked over Gariti, and he saw a lot of English words that he couldn't understand.
"Garriti, the teacher is here. ”
Garriti was indifferent, still reading intently.
"Garriti, it's on fire. ”
Garriti lifted her glasses, unmoved.
Xu Qing has no choice, Garriti has entered a state of being like no one else, and the world of geniuses is really different.
Time passed slowly, more and more students entered the classroom, and Xu Qing saw that his other two roommates also came to the classroom, and Xu Qing greeted them.
They paused for a moment before raising their hands in response to Xu Qing, and then scratched their heads and walked to the other side of Garriti and sat down.
"Xu, you're finally here, I thought you died on the belly of some hot girl. An obscene male voice sounded in Xu Qing's ears.
Xu Qing didn't have to look back, just listening to the voice and knowing who was coming, Sanders, one of the original guy's fox friends and dogs.
"Sanders, you're going to die in the belly sooner than I do. Xu Qingtou didn't reply and said back.
"Hahaha, it's my honor to die in the belly, by the way, why did you come to school today and still sit in the third row?" Sanders sat in the seat next to Xu Qing and asked suspiciously.
"I said I want to be a good student, do you believe it?" Xu Qing said.
"If Caspar steps down today, I believe you. ”
Sanders didn't believe Xu Qing's words at all, Xu Qing and he were both gentlemen who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and didn't know what learning was, how could people like them study hard.
"He will be re-elected until 2000. Caspar was the president of Stanford, who took office last year and stepped down in 2000.
"Xu, this joke is not funny. Sanders said unpleasantly.
"You guy is coming to school too, you won't show up except for exams. ”
Sanders, like Xu Qing, was admitted to Stanford through donations.
"Hey, didn't you know it was Corinna's birthday?" said Sanders in surprise.
"Corinna's birthday?"
Xu Qing looked puzzled, how did he know Corinna's birthday, it turned out that the guy and Corinna didn't have much intersection, and he liked Liu Yuexin and rarely paid attention to Corinna's information.
"Poor Xu, it seems that Corinna didn't invite you to her celebration, so let me tell you, today is Corinna's birthday, and it's also the day she joins the sorority.
So she invited a lot of people to have a celebration party at the villa in District D tonight, how about it, do you want me to take you to have fun, there are a lot of hot girls. ”
Sanders looks like you're begging me.
"I'm not interested, the teacher is here. Xu Qing leaned back in his chair and looked at the teacher who came in from the door.
"I forgot that what you like is Liu Yuexin, but you have been chasing for so long, and you haven't caught up yet, it's too much of a failure. Sanders scoffed.
Xu Qing ignored Sanders, the more he paid attention to him, the more energetic he became, Sanders waited for a while, and saw that Xu Qing really ignored him, and was bored lying on the table to sleep.
Today's course is computer theory, a very boring course, Xu Qing kept saying in his heart to be a good student and listen carefully.
But because the inertia of the original guy was too strong, the class was too boring, and he ended up sleeping on the table.
The teacher on the stage was no longer surprised, and continued to lecture without pausing.
At the end of the class, Xu Qing and Sanders woke up on time, Sanders pointed to the blood-red on Xu Qing's face and smiled: "You also said that you want to be a good student, hahaha." ”
Xu Qing didn't see Sanders' ridicule, rubbed his face, and left his seat.
Sanders said to Xu Qing, and left the classroom with a few boys in the class, apparently going to have fun again.
Just as Xu Qing was about to walk out of the classroom, he saw Garrity finally close the book, stretched, picked up the book and left the classroom.
Garriety saw Xu Qing standing at the door of the classroom, ran to Xu Qing excitedly, and said in a hurried tone: "Hi, Xu, I'm so happy to see you at school today." ”
"I'm also very happy, how are you doing?" Xu Qing responded.
"I built another website, and when it goes online, I invite you to sign up, it's a fun website. ”
Garriti's speech speed was to the limit, but fortunately Xu Qing's English listening ability was excellent, otherwise he doubted that he would be able to hear the English words Garriti said clearly.
Xu Qing chatted with Garridi for a while, and came to the parking lot, today there is only a computer principles course, he has nothing to do at school, it is more comfortable to stay in the villa.
Back at the villa, Xu Qing swam in the pool for half an hour, and then lay on the lounge chair, his brain turned, and Xu Qing felt that he had to adjust the class schedule.
Xu Qing can't go to class every day, what he lacks is experience in managing a business, dealing with people, and business warfare, which he can't learn in school.
He doesn't need to make a computer operating system himself, but he knows what kind of operating system is good.
Knowing the information of the future is Xu Qing's greatest advantage.
Xu Qing feels that what he should really do is to find the right talents, make the right products, manage these people well, and grow the company step by step.
Of course, occasionally I still have to go to class, the school teaches rich theories, and talented classmates, these are also what Xu Qing needs.
Especially the outstanding students, Xu Qing is very greedy, and he must recruit them to his own company in the future.
