The situation is not optimistic, although the sales department has increased its publicity and sales efforts outside of North America, and although HH has reached an agreement with major record companies to jointly adopt the MP4 standard of HH, the sales of iPod2 are still not optimistic. Coupled with the offensive of companies such as Apple and Sony, HH's market share, which was once as high as more than 70%, has also dropped to less than 60%.

Sony may not be able to give up the field of audiovisual products, so it can only pay royalties to HH while competing for the market with HH, while Apple may have started the development of a smartphone and is using a digital music player to develop and improve their feasibility study. Perhaps Sony has also started the research and development of smartphones, and is also borrowing the skin of digital music players to keep secrets from shareholders and competitors.

The sudden rise of the HH company, and the long-term layout, have made its competitors pay full attention. In addition, Texas Instruments took the lead in breaking through the barriers between analog and digital, and Symbian launched its operating system the year before last and launched it again this year, which has made everyone see the vague future of mobile phone and Internet connection. As an ambitious company, it is impossible to miss this opportunity to surpass its competitors or change the current landscape of the mobile phone market.

However, HH still ignored Symbian and unhurriedly developed its own mobile phone operating system, as well as those mobile phone accessories that were kept strictly secret. And with the official sale of Ericsson R380 and Nokia 9110, while winning a lot of applause, it also made the core management and R&D team of HH company scoff. If such mobile phones are masterpieces, then the work being developed by your company will be a masterpiece!

It's good, as long as the whole team is confident, no matter how big the difficulty is, it is not difficult. Although Li Jiaming made the defense of his graduation thesis and the company's finances anxious, he was still full of confidence.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the defense. Li Jiaming, an alternative student whose tutor is at Harvard, hurriedly went back to the apartment to take a shower and prepare to pick up people at the airport after handling some official work and dinner. It is not surprising that many people are polite, Li Jiaming is still accustomed to the style in China, and he is respectful to his tutor, not like his white classmates.

The more national, the more global it is, and only by maintaining one's own style can people remember it.

After washing up and changing into a decent suit, Li Jiaming went to the parking lot in front of the apartment in good spirits. Professor Thomas is an old-fashioned man, and these subsections should be careful not to be as casual as usual.

When Li Jiaming drove this specially customized black bulletproof Cadillac, as soon as he drove out of the parking lot, he saw Hu Xuanxuan standing on the side of the road with a backpack.

"Senior, can you take me with you? I want to study for Professor Thomas's Ph.D. ”

A girl who likes to read is always cuter than a girl who likes diamonds, Li Jiaming tilted his head and "got in the car".

"Hey!"

On the way, Li Jiaming deliberately asked this Taiwanese compatriot, and when he saw her face red, he knew that the drunkard's intention was not to drink at all.

Therefore, after receiving the tutor and seniors at the airport, Li Jiaming asked Hu Xuanxuan to drive, and he and the tutor sat in the back seat to ask questions, and by the way, he showed the tutor the thesis he had just revised to prepare for tomorrow's thesis defense.

Just by the lights in the car, after reading Li Jiaming's final paper, Professor Thomas was silent, not because there was a problem with the paper, but because it was getting farther and farther away from what he had imagined.

Last year, Professor Thomas made an exception to recruit Li Jiaming as a graduate student across the university, in fact, because he took a fancy to his achievements in business, and wanted to see how this Chinese boy applied macroeconomic theories to actual economic entities. But what he didn't expect was that Li Jiaming's academic ability in macroeconomics was average, while his research ability in theoretical information economics was so good that he could deduce a foreseeable future from the phenomenon that was ignored by everyone.

"Ming, in fact, one percent of inspiration is far more important than ninety-nine percent of sweat. For example, if you judge the role of the Internet and the lack of credibility brought about by the decentralization and rapid dissemination of information, many people have worried about it, but they have not found that a new economic type is likely to be born in the future: emotional economy. ”

When it was over, the professor didn't want to let him continue to study for his doctorate, Li Jiaming sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean?"

"Okay, I've read the paper you gave me last time, and I think that if you go on the road of macroeconomics, you will repeat my point of view at most, but if you develop in the direction of theoretical information economics, you may be able to perfect Spencer's theory. ”

Professor Thomas is recognized as the future Nobel laureate in economics for pioneering the school of reasonable expectations, and Professor Spencer, the dean of the business school, has also made remarkable achievements in theoretical economic informatics, especially the 'signal transmission model' he established, which is also known as the Nobel laureate in economics sooner or later.

If the senior can learn from these two masters successively, his future academic achievements are immeasurable, and the two masters are full of praise for his talent, maybe he can become a master like them.

Li Jiaming's heart also suddenly set off a turbulent wave, that is the master Spencer, a single 'signal transmission model' is enough to be immortal! That master's theory is no better than Thomas's theory, far from reaching the point of perfection, if he can join his disciples, maybe he can gain the reputation of a theoretical economic informatics cadre!

Mooney, who was sitting in the passenger cab, also turned around and persuaded: "Ming, believe the professor, he is completely correct in his opinion of you, and your ability to judge and derive microscopic information is amazing.

The professor's theory has been basically perfected, and if you continue to study it, it will be difficult to make a greater breakthrough. On the contrary, theoretical economic informatics has more room for expansion, and perhaps we will all be proud of your achievements in the future!"

The lights in the car were a little dim, and no one saw Professor Thomas's bad face. The fact that his student's research direction deviated from his own theory was not happy to anyone, but his excellent professionalism made Professor Thomas, who could only see Li Jiaming for an average of two or three months, said against his will: "Ming, if you don't mind, I suggest you go directly to Michael's doctoral program." ”

This is expelling himself from the 'reasonable expectation' school in disguise, but it makes Li Jiaming ecstatic, his mind is blank, and he only thinks about getting drunk and singing. This is Professor Thomas's affirmation, the master's affirmation of himself, three years ago I read He in the library, Li Jiaming bowed to this master!

"Professor, do you really think I have that ability and talent?"

This is a child with a talent for business, seeing that the student who deviated from his theory is so incoherent, Professor Thomas, who was originally very unhappy, suddenly became not so unhappy, and teased: "Ming, you don't want to be my doctoral student so much?"

"No, no, when I read about your He three years ago, my first thought was that I must come to the United States to study for your graduate school, you are so great!"

It's nice to be young, Professor Thomas remembered that he had stayed on to teach after receiving his Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard, but when he suddenly read it, he also worshiped Friedman and went to the University of Chicago to teach, wanting to listen to his teachings. As a result, philosophy became economics, and it took thirty-two years to study it.

"Defend well tomorrow, I don't want to teach a master's degree with a weak theoretical foundation, OK"

“ok”!

After all, he is mentally mature, and when Li Jiaming sent his mentor and senior to the hotel, and waited for the two to check in, his excited mood became calmer. Li Jiaming saw that the tutor was tired, so he sent the old man to the guest room and said goodbye, but Mooney was in good spirits and hurriedly invited him to his apartment for two drinks and chatting. The bar was too crowded and noisy for someone like them who liked to talk about academic opinions.

Mooney, who was in his thirties, was about to go to work, and of course wanted to communicate more with this wonderful junior, but he looked strangely at the young girl who was following behind. Li Jiaming was also young and could understand Hu Xuanxuan's behavior, so he had to lie for her in a low voice: "I am studying MBA in a business school and want to take the professor's doctorate." ”

"It's hard to estimate. ”

It doesn't matter, it's just an excuse. Li Jiaming drove the girl back to the apartment, and then back to his apartment, found the whiskey that he hadn't drunk last time, and asked some questions about the thesis defense and academic circles. There are some things that are better to ask the tutor than to ask the dean, especially some things that are inconvenient to say explicitly.

"Ming, in fact, the professor is very dissatisfied with you, but your thesis is really good, so he took the initiative to recommend it to Professor Michael. ”

There are rivers and lakes everywhere, and there are factions in academic circles, otherwise there would not be so many schools. It's just that this circle is more civilized, and there will be no such thing as 'punishing the young and correct'.

"I know, it's just that his theory has been perfected, and it's hard to refine it. ”

Mooney, who admonished Li Jiaming, sighed, which is why he didn't do a postdoc and went directly to MIT to teach. It is a good thing that the teacher is great, but it is too great for his disciple to have a bright future, because he has perfected the theory himself, and the people who follow him do not even have a chance to pick up the missing pieces.

"Ming, you are a genius, develop in the direction of the Internet of Things, maybe you will be as great as the professor. ”

"Huh"

"I mean, seriously, academic achievements are often just a flash of inspiration, and then the inspiration is deduced and perfected. The PhD stage is not as difficult as you think, and the main thing is to do research and participate in academic seminars. With your academic level, you may be able to succeed quickly. ”

This is a matter of experience, and the fourth brother also said so, Li Jiaming was humbly taught.
