Chapter 59: The Professor is Looking
The next day, when Jiang Hui was working hard in the library to write another small paper, he received a call from the counselor, Xu Yun, saying that Professor Chen was looking for him and asked him to go to the professor's office. After Jiang Hui asked the location of Professor Chen's office, he packed up his things and went to the professor.
When he came to the door of the office, Professor Chen was sitting at his desk working on documents, and Jiang Hui knocked on the door.
"Hello Professor Chen, I'm Jiang Hui, a first-year student in industrial engineering, I heard Director Xu say that you are looking for me?" Jiang Hui said.
"Oh, it's here so soon, I'll just sit down for a while," Professor Chen looked up and said a word, and then began to work on the documents again.
Professor Chen is the head of the Department of Industrial Engineering, and in addition to scientific research and teaching tasks, there are also some administrative matters to deal with. You know, even for graduate students, many classes are taught by associate professors or even lecturers.
"Classmate Jiang Hui, I'll call you Xiao Jiang, I have read the little paper you handed in yesterday. Can you tell us how you thought about writing this article?", Professor Chen got up and walked to Jiang Hui's side and sat down, holding the article Jiang Hui handed in yesterday in his hand and said.
"That's right, Professor Chen, I've been very interested in computers and the Internet recently, and I'm reading some books on this topic, and I think the rapid development of computer technology has been constantly affecting everyone's work and life, and I think this impact will be bigger and faster in the future. Then I was thinking, since computers have affected people's daily life and work, what is the extent of its impact on industrial production?" Jiang Hui said calmly.
"You go on," Professor Chan said.
"I consulted some articles and also went online to learn about industrial production abroad. At present, the wages of workers in China are generally low, and developed countries are not in the same order of magnitude. In developed countries such as Germany and the United States, on the one hand, the number of people is limited, on the other hand, the wages of workers are high, and various welfare expenditures are high, so enterprises will consider the use of automation equipment as much as possible in the production process", Jiang Hui said for a while, looking at Professor Chen's reaction.
Then he continued: "I think that in the next ten years, China's labor costs will continue to rise. For example, if a robot is now 300,000 yuan, and the income of ordinary workers may be less than 20,000 yuan, then it must be more cost-effective for enterprises to use workers than to use robots. But in a decade or so, a robot may only need 200,000 or even less, while a worker's salary may have reached 50,000 or 60,000 or even more. At this time, it should be a better choice for enterprises to choose robot hands to replace workers. Then the production mode will change slowly, and if the production mode changes, then the management will inevitably change......"
Jiang Hui talked endlessly for more than 20 minutes, during which Professor Chen basically did not speak much, listening carefully to Jiang Hui's thoughts.
"You don't have to take the exam for this course, just yesterday's essay as the teacher's content, and I will give you full marks," Professor Chen said.
"Thank you, Professor, I was inspired by you," Jiang Hui said.
"You little guy, you're playing tricks with me, I haven't seen you in class a few times, where did you get the inspiration. This article is very good, I have a classmate at Shanghai Jiaotong University, and the journal "Industrial Engineering and Management" edited by them is quite good, I will recommend this article to you," said Professor Chen.
"Great, thank you, Professor. I wrote an article last night, and I would like to ask for your advice?"
"I took it and read it, and reading your article made my rigid brain feel like fresh blood was injected, which was very rewarding," said Professor Chen.
"I haven't had time to print it in the computer, I'll open it for you to see," Jiang Hui said as he turned on the computer.
Professor Chen got up to his desk, picked up a pair of glasses, and looked at Jiang Hui's article seriously.
"There are others, I have been hidden enough at one time," Professor Chen said.
"There's still one that I haven't had time to finish," Jiang said.
"Open it and take a look, I can't wait for you to finish writing," Professor Chen said.
Jiang Hui opened the small paper he was writing just now and showed it to Professor Chen.
"Xiao Jiang, have you ever thought about staying in school for graduate school after graduating from undergraduate? I will give you a place, as long as you don't get too bad in other courses, you can be sent directly," Professor Chen said.
"Professor, I've only been a freshman for more than two months now, and what you said about graduate school is too far in advance, and I haven't thought about it yet", although Jiang Hui didn't have the idea of staying in his heart to study for graduate school, after all, he was a doctorate-level person, but he still gave a tactful answer.
"It doesn't matter, remember to come to me one day when you think about it, I welcome you at any time," Professor Chen said.
"Thank you, Professor, for your kindness," Jiang Hui said.
"I also sent me the article just now, and I will recommend it for you, and if you are in time, you will be able to see your article in the journal this month," Professor Chen said.
"Okay, I have to ask you to help polish the article again, I don't learn a lot of things systematically, and some places are not well written," Jiang Hui said.
"Well, it's okay, I'll go back and change it and send it out again, and I want to tell you, after all, you're still in your freshman year, and if you post it under your name alone, it is likely that it won't be taken seriously, I suggest that you publish these articles as the first author and me as the second author. Professor Chen said.
"Okay, no problem," Jiang Hui said.
"I want to make it clear that I don't want to sign because I have any other ideas, but I just hope that these good articles will be available to you as soon as possible," Professor Chen said.
"I understand, thank you very much, Professor Chen, and I may continue to cause trouble for you in the future," Jiang Hui said.
"I like your trouble, and I can't wait to be troubled every day," Professor Chen said.
At this time, there happened to be a phone call, Jiang Hui hurriedly got up and said goodbye, today he finally successfully completed a course, and kept sending some papers, and Jiang Hui would not seem so abrupt if he had other achievements in the future.
Except for weekends, Song Min and the others eat together at noon and then go to the afternoon class. Jiang Hui walked out of Professor Chen's office, thinking that he was in the mood now, so he didn't rush to lunch, and finished writing the unfinished article first.
