Chapter 441: RMB¥3.2 billion funding
Ye Hua's trip to HKUST is about three and a half hours, and it will not exceed four hours.
Under the reception of the school leaders, Ye Hua and Principal Bao exchanged for about half an hour, which was a non-public exchange.
Later, Academician Bao made a cameo appearance and the guide took him to see the research and experimental sites of the University of Science and Technology, and also met many professors, I have to say that the system of the University of Science and Technology is very complete, and science and engineering can basically find the majors he wants to study and are interested in here.
Two hours later, a number from Ye Hua's mouth made HKUST very excited, and Shoreline Group decided to fund RMB?? $3.2 billion to support HKUST's scientific research.
During last week's trip to Europe, although there were only five well-known European universities visited by Ye Hua, Coastline actually funded more than 30 European universities or research institutes in Europe, of which 220 million euros was funded by the University of Göttingen.
After returning to China, he came to HKUST and donated twice as much as the University of Göttingen.
RMB?? 3.2 billion, which is definitely a huge amount of funding, basically the professors of HKUST who do basic research, can apply for funding from this pool for the whole year in the future.
It is worth mentioning that funding and donations are two completely different natures.
Ye Hua decided to increase the scientific research investment budget of the Coastline Group by 10 billion US dollars on the basis of last year's total investment, that is, 22.8 billion US dollars.
Of the $10 billion added, $6.2 billion was invested in Europe and $3 billion was invested in China. About 20 billion yuan, and the other 800 million yuan is invested in North America.
North America has not invested much, the Americans are not short of money and it is more difficult, Europe is not in trouble, the establishment of the SIO organization has a huge impact on the technology industry practitioners represented by semiconductors in Europe.
At this time, of course, we have to open our arms to accept a large number of "refugees" from Europe, in fact, the coastline is still a relatively late one, and domestic semiconductor manufacturers have long been eyeing European talents, but the coastline group needs talents far more than the semiconductor industry.
The money is used to fund universities and colleges around the world, with the purpose of establishing a global talent pool and transportation for the Coastline Group.
It's all forced by a lack of talent.
Ye Hua has realized this, in the future, with the development and expansion of the coastline group, the demand for talents will further surge, and if you don't lay out early now, you will cry when there is a shortage of people in the future, and when the time comes, you want to play some new tricks, you can't commercialize and popularize it on a large scale without talent, so you can only stay in the laboratory.
In fact, it turns out that at all times, the most important thing is not capital, but talent.
If there is no one in the capital, your capital will not be able to operate, the truth is the same, any business needs people to do, and the scale needs a huge team to coordinate to do.
……
At around 16:00, Ye Hua, on behalf of the Coastline Group and the University of Science and Technology, publicly announced that the Coastline Group would sponsor the University of Science and Technology. 3.2 billion yuan for basic scientific research, and the two sides have established long-term strategic cooperation on talents.
Efficiency is the place to cultivate talents, and the coastline group is the place to employ people, and cooperation is naturally a perfect fit.
At 16:21, it was finally the last part of the trip, the speech.
The venue is in a multimedia hall on campus, and at this moment, more than 2,000 people have gathered for a long time, and finally they have waited for the idol god they have been waiting for.
On the stage of the multimedia hall, more than 2,000 people and the audience watching the live broadcast all looked at Ye Hua who had just appeared on the stage.
"Hello everyone, I just heard from the staff behind the scenes that the students here have been waiting here for more than two hours, I was surprised, and then asked him why did you wait so long? He said that there would be no place if he didn't wait, wow, I didn't expect me to be so popular at HKUST. I also asked the staff, "Won't you get bored while waiting?" He said he probably would, but boredom doesn't mean impatience. ”
"It is worthy of the University of Science and Technology, and it is necessary to have this kind of patience to do a scientific career, praise one."
After completing the opening briefly, Ye Hua looked around the audience, and the fans on the scene caught Ye Hua's sight, and although it was only a moment when they looked at each other, they were also very excited.
Many students still admire it very much, the big guy is the big guy, although Ye Hua's age is basically in the same echelon as the two thousand people on the scene, but he is calm and relaxed on the stage, full of aura, and his words and deeds are smooth.
Bigger scenes are also commonplace, but for most of the students sitting in the audience, even if there is such a scene now, it is a little timid for them to go to the stage to give a speech, and science and engineering students are generally not so good at this kind of activity.
"As you may know in the last week, I went to Europe and gave lectures every day. However, today at HKUST, I have thought about it and decided to use the so-called joint blockade of the Coastline Group last year as a starting point. ”
The scene was quiet, everyone looked at Ye Hua, who continued to speak:
"Looking back at the blockade, this incident has caused a huge impact at home and abroad, especially in China. It can be seen that since this incident, even now, a large number of people tend to be negative and pessimistic, accumulating a lot of anxiety and worry. ”
"Many people are anxious that our country will fail to compete in high-tech wars, that our country's commodities will not be able to enter the window of developed countries, that we will not be able to introduce talents, that we will not be able to introduce technology, that the developed countries in the West will join forces and kick us away from us, and that China's technological system will be isolated by foreigners and cannot communicate with the outside world, and so on, ......etc., etc."
This raises the question of whether we are too immodest. Trying to challenge the authority of the West's cutting-edge science and technology system has attracted people's attention, and they have asked for a containment package with their backhand. ”
"In fact, whenever you mention domestic technology, many people's subconscious is to scoff at it, whenever you announce a Chinese scientific and technological achievement, many people also subconsciously question the fraud or simply think that it is to cheat the government subsidies, our coastline group is a little better, and has made a little achievement, but most of the other domestic technology companies, they are not so good, especially netizens are quite demanding on them."
"Does that mean that there is no report on whether there is any result or not? It's not advertised anymore? ”
"This problem is a huge problem for many scientific research institutions and technology companies, in fact, I want to say that whether it is a university or a technology company, they should promote their academic achievements or technological achievements in a dignified manner."
"A decade or two ago, you said that it was okay to keep a low profile and say that Taoguang was obscure, but now you can't stop it, our country is so big, and now the whole world is staring at you, how can you still Tao? Isn't it to cover your ears and steal the bell to deceive yourself? To use an Internet buzzword, even if we want to keep a low profile now, our strength doesn't allow it. ”
"I can't stop it!"
"Actually, foreigners don't understand it very much, saying that you Chinese people are obviously so ...... Foreigners use the word Poer, and your strength is very strong and you say that you can't do it, so foreigners don't understand it, and think that you are not honest and weird, and foreigners are also a little suspicious. ”
"In fact, we are very strong now, this is an objective reality that does not depend on personal will, foreigners have realized it, especially in the West, but it is interesting that some Chinese people do not realize this."
"The muscles of the body have been trained, but the brain thinking and self-confidence may not have kept up, so foreigners feel that you are strange to the Chinese people in this place, haha~~"
"I think now is not only the best time to absorb global talents, in the context of today's new era, there are also new ideas, whether it is our major universities and colleges, or major technology companies, we should dare to open our arms to embrace a large number of scientists back to China."
"The times are always changing, what remains unchanged is how to adapt to the changing times, if you continue to think about Taoguang and raising obscurity, but also thinking about digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and holding the mentality of stabilizing other waves, you will definitely miss the times."
"We are a big country, a super-large country, with a population of 1.4 billion 1.4 billion, we are born to do great things, you must not carry the flag when you should not carry it, you must carry it when you should carry it, you don't carry the flag now, if you don't make your voice heard, even if you have a huge grand plan, but excellent scientists can't see and don't know your appeal, he will definitely not come."
"Careers are made by people, and only with people can we do things, so there is no need for colleges and universities to be low-key, to strengthen open cooperation, so as to attract talents, and for scientific research workers, we must also dare to announce the results, so that people can see the value of your research, and cover others all day long and don't know that they will definitely not support you, and capital will certainly not support you."
"Colleges and universities are the commanding heights of talent strategy, our coastline has opened its arms to accept these scientists on a global scale, we are not stingy with scientific careers, this time to fund HKUST 3.2 billion and more in the future, we hope to be able to contribute our own capital to promote the blowout of basic research, promote the development of technology application, the prosperity and progress of scientific and technological civilization."
"Thank you."
Ye Hua gave an unscripted speech throughout the whole process, and as soon as the last words fell, the multimedia hall resounded with long-lasting warm applause......
