Chapter 304: Humiliation

If you are willing to gamble, you must admit defeat!

In the matter of repurchasing shares, Li Jiaming and the others did not get a bargain, but they still approved PCCW's application and agreed that the other party should send a representative to join the board of directors. Even before Christmas, CEO Ma Huateng invited PCCW to attend the year-end meeting and annual meeting of the group's board of directors.

It is said that it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, but it is different when it comes to Li Zekai, the chairman of the Digital Pacific Technology Group, who twisted his fingers in public at the beginning. Therefore, before the year-end meeting of the board of directors, he came with a victorious attitude, and as if he was afraid that Li Jiaming would not know, he notified the group to send someone to pick up the plane before getting on the plane.

Fuck off!

Li Jiaming and Ma Hua, the two cores of Lifang Group, are on a business trip or returning to Beijing, at most their personal assistants will pick up the airport, and you are not even a director, so you want the company to send someone to pick up the airport?

Fortunately, Assistant Tang, who received the call, was very kind and communicated well with the secretary over there, and told her euphemistically that Lifang Group did not have this practice. If Li Sheng arrives in the capital, he will either arrange for someone to pick him up, or the company will send a car, but he will have to pay for his own expenses.

The United States is a paradise for the rich, but it is not necessarily a hell for the poor. If you can't, you can still apply for relief and go to the city with food stamps to get free food.

This is the Indian Mooney's perception of the United States, and the food stamps are also something that accompanied him throughout his childhood and youth, and it was precisely because he was born in a poor family that Li Jiaming asked him about some information about the postdoctoral fellow. If you want to change to an Asian American in a business school, asking is tantamount to asking in vain, and most of the Asians who can go to business school are from well-off families.

But Mooney's attribution of the plight of Asian-American postdocs in the United States to cultural issues rather than economic issues is difficult for Lee to understand, or rather to say that his thinking has not turned that round. Mooney also knew that his junior usually only focused on his studies and career, and did not look at the whole society, so he did not think about this aspect, so he explained very patiently.

Americans, even black, people of color, are culturally very different from Asians, and they go to college not for employment but for interest.

"Ming, my father was an illegal immigrant, and he got his green card through President Nixon's amnesty. My father repaired the lawn, ran the sewers, and delivered food, and my mother did the laundry, maid, and food stamps, which was barely enough for our six children to go to school, and my education was completed on loans.

When I graduated from high school, I received an admission letter from mIT, ca1, computer science, full scholarship, but I gave up and preferred to go to Harvard to study economics without a scholarship. Fifteen years ago, computer science was far more promising than economics, even now, if it was for employment and salary reasons.

Why? Interests, second-generation immigrants like me are still more focused on ideals and interests than career prospects when choosing a career direction in life, you can imagine those white people. ”

Li Jiaming was thoughtful, so those doctors in obscure majors such as biology and chemistry in the United States, and even philosophy majors, would choose to lower their standards when they could not enter universities or companies for employment.

They study out of interest, not in return, you can go to middle schools, primary schools, there are not a few people with doctoral and master's degrees. My former chemistry teacher, a Stanford Ph.D., continued his passion for chemistry research while teaching. ”

After thinking for a moment, Li Jiaming retorted: "No, there is another problem, that is, the question of nationality." ”

"No, it is not difficult for people who can get a doctorate degree to apply for U.S. citizenship and residency, as long as there is no criminal record, the immigration bureau will not be embarrassed at all. Mainly cultural, Asians, especially East Asian peoples, value getting ahead more than ideals, so they would rather stay in the lab as a postdoc than lower the standard of employment.

Ming, a middle school teacher's salary plus benefits, about $40,000 a year, can already give them a decent life. Of course, I do not deny that in order to cheaper high-level labor, the government has given a large number of visas to foreign PhDs to come to the laboratories of American universities to work as postdocs. ”

Li Jiaming, who figured it out, couldn't help but smile bitterly, loving a certain major and studying diligently in a certain major are two different things. People who can achieve success in a certain field must have enough love for their profession, and this is why they will have that damn 1% inspiration.

The times are different, and all majors have reached extremely high heights, and it is not easy to break through the achievements of the predecessors? Alas, if you don't become crazy, you can't survive, and in a country like the United States, which has a high level of attainment in all fields, you can't devote yourself to a certain cause, even if you have a high level of talent, how can you succeed?

In other words, those postdoctoral fellows who are struggling in the laboratory now, although they are all IQ groups, most of them have tapped their potential, and they can only act as scientific research assistants for others, and it is difficult for them to study something by themselves, because they do not love this profession, and they are engaged in this profession for green cards, naturalization, and getting ahead.

"Yes, academia is actually simpler than business and politics, and if you do excel, no one will deliberately embarrass you. The United States is a commercial society, and schools need to establish their academic status to attract students, donations, and government funds, and will not allow deliberate suppression and discrimination, and generally fair competition. ”

Yes, that's easier said than done. As we all know, honor and interests are based on achievements, and achievements require you to devote yourself wholeheartedly, but from the beginning mixed with the motivation of fame and fortune, you cannot devote yourself wholeheartedly. No one is a saint, everyone has selfish thoughts, and this selfish thoughts are a huge obstacle on the road to success, and most people can't get around it at all, and can only rely on love to support you to continue walking.

Therefore, successful people are paranoid, and they are paranoid because they love it.

In fact, the best way out for those postdocs is to return to China, only in China can they gain respect and pick up their long-lost confidence and love. However, it is very difficult to go abroad and want them to return to their home country again, and to return to China without achieving anything. Just like many Chinese international students, they are not much interested in their majors now, and they will still grit their teeth to complete their doctorates. Not for anything else, just for face, your own face, and your family's face.

Don't laugh at the second eldest child, I am almost the same, didn't I just go across the ocean to Haiti to study hard for the sake of a doctor's false name? I am lucky, I found my interest in time, and I have a strong economic foundation, so I can take bitterness into happiness. If you put yourself in the position of Sun Gan and them, you will definitely not be as good as them, and if you don't do it, you will use your professional knowledge to go to the sidelines, such as drug production?

After figuring out this problem, Li Jiaming, who is a businessman, thought deeply about Yang Fenhua's naΓ―ve business plan.

There are no absolutes in the world, and many Chinese postdocs may not have the potential to succeed, but it is a pity to have solid professional knowledge and just engage in some cheap senior labor. The United States is highly attached, but the country can lag behind in scientific research, if the United States set up a research institute for domestic enterprises to carry out research and research, it may not be impossible to achieve a win-win situation.

No matter how bad it is, it is better to transplant the mature technology of the United States back to China than to take a detour by domestic enterprises.

It's just that this pit seems to be bigger than the pit that Yang Fenhua brought to himself, China is used to the doctrine of borrowing, and the imported technology can not be reversed in three months, and the technology introduced at a high price will not become charity?
