Chapter 557: Alma Mater (Yesterday's Second Update)

After three days of wandering, it was time to leave Paris and return to San Francisco. Although Zhang Chen can be a hands-off shopkeeper now, he only cares about important tasks, but after all, the stall is too big, and he is really not at ease if he doesn't personally watch part of the work.

Tang Miaomiao inevitably complained a few words, she was still in the summer vacation stage, and she could go to her mentor Kenneth Singleton on August 25 to report.

The devil knows how she found Singleton as her mentor, Tang Miaomiao is an MBA in finance at Stanford, and she is the younger sister of Huang Ming, who just went to Cornell University as an assistant professor last year.

Huang Ming originally studied physics, and once obtained a doctorate in physics from Stanford, and later transferred to finance for a doctorate, because finance is easy to make money。。。。。。

Not only Huang Ming, but also Dai Qiang and Pan Jun were all physics geniuses of the year, and they were all students of Singleton, and they all turned from physics to finance.

There are also many Chinese fund managers who have emerged on Wall Street, many of whom have switched from mathematics, physics and chemistry to finance, and the group of mathematics, physics and chemistry geniuses in the past are still insisting on research work after 20 years.

But Zhang Chen would never believe that Tang Miaomiao's ability could be compared to Huang Ming, and Singleton could recruit Tang Miaomiao, if there was no family factor in this, then there would be a ghost.

Zhang Chen and Tang Miaomiao boarded the Gulfstream V half an hour before the plane was pushed out of the runway.

Because there were too many things to buy, two luggage carts were loaded, and three workers were laboriously loading things into the warehouse。。。。。。

Moreover, these are just a few of them, including some works by artists such as Zao Wou-Ki and Balthus.

Tang Miaomiao personally selected some of her favorite large pieces, such as some sculptures and furniture, and they all need to be packed and shipped by sea.

Cheryl Sandberg had already returned to San Francisco on her own, and she had to do a series of work, including contacting the publishing house, negotiating with Amazon for the online promotion of Harry Potter, and formulating a public relations strategy for Harry Potter with Shen Mingjie.

Zhang Chen assigned her the task of following the Harry Potter project from beginning to end.

This is also in line with Cheryl Sandberg's idea, and she also wants to familiarize herself with the way of working and the atmosphere of Silicon Valley and the West Coast through this project.

"What are you writing?" Tang Miaomiao wiped her wet hair, walked up to Zhang Chen, who was crackling and typing on the keyboard of her notebook, and asked curiously.

"To better understand Cirque du Soleil's success, we envision the market as being made up of two oceans: the red ocean and the blue ocean. The red ocean represents the industries that currently exist, while the blue ocean represents the industries that do not exist at the moment, that is, the unknown market space。。。。。。 This year, the 50-year-old U.S. Industrial Classification Standard (SIC) system has been officially replaced by the North American Industrial Classification Standard (NAICS). The latter expands the original ten industrial sectors of SIC to twenty, reflecting the reality of the development and growth of new industries... Tang Miaomiao read the lines of words typed out on Zhang Chen's screen, "Are you writing a paper?"

Zhang Chen concentrated: "It's not a paper, it's just some ideas, write a little bit every day, and make a more complete analysis in combination with the industry that Tinder Source is currently investing in, which can also be regarded as a combing of my overall thinking in strategic management." ”

Some people say that men are the sexiest when they do something seriously, Tang Miaomiao's eyes were soft, "What are you going to do in the future? Are you still ready to continue your studies?"

Zhang Chen looked back, "Of course, I am going to take the SAT in October, and then apply to Stanford for admission in the spring of next year, I did a few sets of SAT questions a few days ago, and I am still sure that I will score more than 1400 points. ”

Tang Miaomiao chuckled: "Everyone drops out of school after starting a business, but it's good for you to go to school after starting a business." And if you want to go to Stanford, it won't be that much trouble, right?"

This is the case in any university in the world, if you are already a leader in a certain industry, needless to say, come to school, if you have enough academic qualifications, you can go directly to become a lecturer, assistant professor, associate professor or something, and you may become a tenured professor for a year or two.

Zhang Chen smiled: "I didn't go to study to get a graduation certificate, but I really felt that I needed to add too many things, and the foundation was not strong enough, and many things may be known by feeling but I don't know why." ”

"If you just aim to get ahead, I believe that it is enough to have your current knowledge structure and what you have learned in various projects in the future. Zhang Chen blinked, "But people can't just pursue this point, right?"

Tang Miaomiao's eyes bent into two crescents, "Then what else do you want to pursue?"

Zhang Chen thought for a while: "I want to look at my own limits and see how much impact I can have on this world." We often talk about changing the world, but changing the world is also divided into changing the world for the better or changing the world for the worse. If you don't have enough knowledge and judgment, how can you know what is good and what is bad?"

"There are a lot of things that seem like a good thing right now, but if you stretch the timeline longer, it can be a bad thing. ”

"I don't think I'm a genius, I'm omniscient, so it's important to keep replenishing myself. Although going to Stanford may not have contributed to what I am doing now, it is necessary to optimize my knowledge structure and make my foundation more solid in the long run. Eh, what do you think?"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he looked up and saw that Tang Miaomiao, who was standing beside him, was stunned, not knowing what to think.

Tang Miaomiao touched Zhang Chen's short stubble: "I saw your changes before, and I thought you were already floating, but since you have a clear self-awareness, I am relieved." ”

Zhang Chen hugged Tang Miaomiao, "Actually, I did float, but every time I see you, no matter where I float, I will immediately return to the ground, who made you be my teacher." ”

Tang Miaomiao knocked on Zhang Chen's head, her face was flushed, and she pressed her big hand between her waist and hips: "You are a rebel, you dare to do something with the teacher." ”

——————————

Chen Huisheng has been in a good mood recently, and a few days ago he went to a meeting of the Municipal Education Commission, and Director Wen of the Municipal Education Commission took the initiative to smile and pat him on the shoulder, and said inexplicably: "Good job." ”

Did you say that the admission rate of Chonghua No. 1 Middle School this year? The college entrance examination acceptance rate is indeed okay, but there is no too conspicuous change compared with previous years. But no matter what, it's certain that the above thinks that they are doing well.

"Come, come, set up, sit, sit. Come on, why do you bring things? "Chen Huisheng didn't expect that Zhao Lixin, who had resigned for more than half a year, would come, and he also brought a lot of gifts to himself.

Zhao Lixin smiled and said: "Principal Chen, I haven't been back to school for a long time, I want to come over and have a look, and by the way, I can help someone bring you some gifts." ”

Chen Huisheng was stunned for a moment, helping people bring gifts? Wouldn't it be the parents of students who wanted to take the Chonghua No. 1 Middle School but didn't score enough to find Zhao Lixin? It seems that this person will change after a long time in society, and Zhao Lixin has never opened this kind of mouth before.

Chen Huisheng pointed at Zhao Lixin and said with a smile: "Lixin, Lixin, now you have started to do this." ”

Zhao Lixin didn't know that Chen Huisheng had a misunderstanding, and thought he was polite: "This is what I sent to Zhang Chen, among these things, just those two bottles of wine were given to you by me, don't be surprised." ”

Chen Huisheng was surprised, Zhang Chen?

Chen Huisheng didn't know that Zhang Chen didn't go to Tsinghua University to report, he already knew that this student was not something he could manage, after Zhang Chen won the national outstanding student cadre pacesetter, he also achieved the task and brushed up a wave of political achievements, but after a long time, this name has not been mentioned in his ears for a long time.

Zhao Lixin nodded, took a sip of water, and said calmly: "Yes, the company I am working for now is his, and now I am one of his department managers." ”

Chen Huisheng looked suspicious, Zhao Lixin was working as a department manager in Zhang Chen's company? How could it be that he gave up his public office and went to sea, and as a result, he went to work for his students?

Zhao Lixin smiled: "Principal, that's the case, Zhang Chen told me two days ago that Chonghua No. 1 Middle School is his alma mater, and you have taken good care of him for so long, and he still has a lot of classmates who get along very well here." Although he can't come to class now, he still wants to contribute to the school. ”

Chen Huisheng was interested: "What contribution?"

Zhao Lixin said with a smile: "Now several key middle schools directly under the city have begun to popularize audio-visual education, and computer education has also begun. Although our school now has a computer room, there are only a pitiful dozen 386s that have been eliminated, and most of the students can only watch the freshness, and the interested students can't learn anything. Therefore, he plans to donate 2 million worth of computer equipment to the school, a total of 150 computers. ”

Chen Huisheng stood up with a sigh of excitement: "What did you say!?"

The old version of the SAT has a total score of 1600, and after the SAT reform, the new version has a total score of 2400.
