Chapter 60: Running a University?

After Li Shusen, it was the turn of Chen Bo, the global president of Ant Search, to take the stage, tidy up his clothes and stride onto the podium, looking at the university representatives and immature students below, and began his speech.

"Today, I would like to start by announcing to you a piece of good news for the academic community. Ant Search officially acquired the world-renowned Wikipedia and merged Ant Encyclopedia with it, and will continue to provide free services to all netizens in the future, and still maintain a non-profit model, without any commercial advertisements on it. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of discussion and applause below.

"Cool, you actually bought the wiki!"

"This is tantamount to doing public welfare for free without asking for anything in return!"

"Ant Company is really a conscience ...... the industry"

Such comments are endless, and they come one after another.

"Let me introduce you to Mr. Jimmy Donnell Wales, the founder of Wikipedia." Chen Bo pointed casually, and then Wales, who was tall and bearded, stood up, smiled and waved to the audience.

Wikipedia is half a year earlier than Ant Encyclopedia, but its influence is much greater internationally, regardless of whether it is a student of Peng University or representatives of these universities is no stranger to Wikipedia, but they did not expect that the American who negotiated the details with them yesterday is actually the founder of Wikipedia.

I didn't expect that the encyclopedia wiki, which is famous and known as free, is now being collected by Ant Search, and I can't help but look up to this partner a little more.

Wales holds a master's degree from Auburn University and a Ph.D. in economics from Indiana University, and will later serve as the company's global vice president, where he will continue to be responsible for the Wikipedia project and will also serve as the executive chairman of the Ant Academic Alliance. Chen Bo paused and said, "I was moved by Mr. Wales's dedication and persuaded me to abandon the commercialization of wikis. ”

"Because scholarship is the crystallization of the wisdom of all mankind, it is borderless and priceless!"

The impassioned words attracted thunderous applause, as long as what he did was great, these cultural people were so foolish, Chen Bo was secretly proud.

"In the past, when we had to check papers, we had to go through various professional journals and magazines, and we would waste months in the library looking for various materials to find arguments and arguments. Although each country has its own CNKI, it is still very cumbersome to query. Ant Scholarship came into being, using our own search technology to build a platform for academic sharing, whether it is literature or articles published in academic journals, it will be easy to find at your fingertips. ”

"So that you can easily check plagiarism and citation, of course, scholarship is priceless, knowledge is valuable. Some professional papers will take the mode of free query of some key fields and full-text charging to pay our paper authors, after all, no matter how great a scholar is, he can't go hungry to do research, right? ”

Chen Bo's words resonated with most people, and writing a thesis after graduating from college is a very painful thing. It takes several months to check the data, not only to the experimental data, but also to check whether the paper is duplicated. If there is such a tool that can solve problems faster and better, then the time saved can do a lot of things.

As for the charging model, of course that's good, who doesn't want their paper to bring more value, and everyone here is both the creator and the user of the paper.

After his speech, Wales took over and explained his idea of creating a wiki and his own operating philosophy, of course, automatically hiding the fact that he had run advertisements last year and was criticized by users, but talked about ideals, ambitions, and the future.

Then the official signing ceremony began, and after each university signed the contract under the spotlight, there will be a representative of the university to give a speech on academic, sharing, scientific research and other topics. It is also a disguised process of cultural exchange, but it is not so boring.

"Your project is good, not only to improve the image of our Pengcheng, but also to give Pengda more influence by the way." Li Shusen sat next to Chen Bo and sighed and said to him, "Our Pengcheng is just this undergraduate university, you look at so many colleges and universities in Yangcheng, and the university town plan was launched in January this year." In the future, all these students will run there, and it will be difficult for our future talent pool in Pengcheng. ”

"It is completely possible to adopt the model of cooperating in the construction of branch campuses and bring some other universities over, don't we also have Lihu University Town?"

"It's all research institutes, just a park of Yenching University and a vocational and technical college, and there are thousands of people in total." Li Shusen said, "I still have to rely on myself, but unfortunately the current education budget is too small, and Pengda is still directly under the Provincial Department of Education." ”

"Then you still want to run your own college?" Chen Bo wondered.

"Why not?" Li Shusen retorted, "Now Pengcheng talent gap is very large, mainly concentrated in the middle and high end of the talent, I have done all aspects of research found that although migrant workers are the first choice in Pengcheng, but the professional and technical level is relatively low, most of them have gone to the factory general workers, assembly line operations these requirements are not high, on the contrary, senior technicians, as well as bachelor's degree or above professionals are much less." ”

"Well, that's right. I also spent two years in an electronics factory outside the Kansai area. Chen Bo nodded and said, "The income of the factory is obviously much more stable than that in the countryside, and most people's idea is that I will make money for a few years, go back to my hometown and build a house and marry a daughter-in-law." A lot of people don't feel like they belong to the city and don't want to fit in. ”

"Why? Pengcheng is such a big city and can't accommodate them? Li Shusen was stunned.

"Big mayor, the cost of living is high, and even if there are people who want to improve, there is no way out. If our government can guide more professional and technical training, so that their ability can be improved, and their living standards will also be improved, who will want to go home? Now is not a problem of labor employment, it is a problem of labor skill improvement, the era of demographic dividend will eventually pass, you will not let Pengcheng always be the world's processing plant, right? ”

"How come, I must get rid of the hat of this processing plant in office, and I must take the path of innovation." Li Shusen said bluntly.

According to his tenure, he can serve two terms at most, and there are still 8 years to go, and if he is not transferred, he may really be able to achieve this goal in his hands.

"I see that you kid has so many ideas, why don't you build a private university? Other provincial capitals are swarming to do this, and I am worried that other investors are trying to do wrong, so they use this name to make money, and they have never opened this opening. Li Shusen said again.

"Kill me, how can I do that?" Chen Bo's head shook like a rattle. "You go to our neighbor Hong Kong Island, Brother Jiacheng is the richest man, just come out of a university."

"You think I don't want to, don't you forget where his ancestral home is? This kind of good thing is not our turn, and Guangdong University is built by him and the provincial and ministerial efforts. ”

"Then there won't be a celebrity in Pengcheng?"

"There's a fart, you don't know how this city was built." Li Shusen didn't have a good airway.

That's right, it was originally a small fishing village developed, and it has become an urban village, and the probability of a few hundred people becoming the richest man is too low, and the other business owners are all immigrants from other provinces, and the second generation born in Pengcheng is still a good baby in school.

"You think about it, if you want land for land, do you want money?"

Poof, Chen Bo almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and he dared to take a fancy to my money. But he's also a poor jingle now. Besides, he hasn't even gone to college, and he knows how to run a school, so he is not afraid of other people's children?

Then put it on hold, anyway, he doesn't have this idea, and he doesn't have the energy.

"By the way, in SARS, your section to refute rumors has played a very big role in eliminating rumors, why do you want to remove it now?"

"SARS has been brought under control, and people's lives are back on track, so why stay?"

"Although SARS is gone, there will be other rumors in the future, and there are always some people who take advantage of the blind obedience of the people to make up all kinds of rumors, which makes our work very headache." Li Shusen smiled wryly, "Don't think that some things only appear in movies, you are wearing a coat on a hot day, don't you understand?" ”

"Clear." Chen Bo nodded, wearing a coat to attend in formal clothes to show solemnity, and to cover the knife wound on his arm. Anti. The Chinese forces are like lice and bedbugs, they can't shake off, but some people are willing to be deceived, and by the way, they have to bring another wave of rhythm. "In that case, let's return to normalcy, just call it a rumor buster, with the main purpose of fighting rumors and exposing scams."

"That's right, I'll go back and say hello to the city bureau, it's good for you to make more contributions to the society as a police family." Li Shusen smiled knowingly and said, this old fox has a lot of eyes.

"No matter how hard I try, the most important thing is to make government affairs open and transparent, and I have to maintain credibility. Pengcheng is a special economic zone, if everything goes according to plan, it will not play the role of a test field, you as the chief executive have to break the routine, otherwise how to produce results, right? ”

A slap doesn't make a sound, the spread of all rumors is not groundless, and how can you deeply process a plot that the public likes to see without material.

"Well, you're right, no one will believe the story of the wolf's coming." Li Shusen frowned and fell into thought, as if he was looking for the direction of his future work. He stayed until noon and left, after all, he managed a huge city and was busy with official business, so it was already very good to have time to come to the platform.

The news of Ant Search's acquisition of Wikipedia and the creation of an academic alliance has flown to all corners of the globe through television and the Internet, and has also wiped a cold sweat on the heads of countless competitors.

There are really a lot of tricks, so I am not afraid of losing money, and I am not afraid of throwing in the public welfare projects that are not profitable, and I don't know if this academic alliance can make money, and I am not afraid of choking to death! This is what most people think.

Then Ant Search quietly launched another section: Rumor Buster, the words of Pengcheng Police Station are clearly displayed at the top of the page. This is the first precedent for cooperation between a government functional department and an internet platform, and it also indirectly illustrates the level of support behind Ant Search.

Whether it is public welfare, academics or this small anti-counterfeiting project, it cannot be exemplified in the short term, and the three-board axe effortlessly breaks through the blockade of other search engines.
