Chapter 10 Before Leaving Beijing
It basically means that people have various needs, and these needs are ranked from high to low, and when the low-level needs are satisfied, the high-level needs will be pursued.
The lowest level of needs are physiological needs, such as food, water, air, sex, and so on.
Then there are the security requirements, which require a stable and secure environment.
The next step is the need for social connections, the need for relationships to be loved.
And then there's respect, self-esteem, and the respect that others have for you.
Further up is the need for cognition, the pursuit of knowledge.
The business done by New Oriental is very high in terms of demand theory.
You should also be able to see from the operating data that your revenue scale and profit are showing a rapid growth trend. β
Wang Qiang nodded frequently when he listened. Zhou Xin's words helped him further realize that it was right to do it in New Oriental and that it had a great future.
"I understand that we often discuss in internal meetings that the wealth of society is a piece of cake.
Originally, the cake may only be enough to satisfy everyone's appetite.
In the process of making the cake bigger, there will be more subdivided needs, such as dressing, traveling, watching movies, etc.
Studying abroad is a very expensive need, and those families whose needs are met in front of them have a surplus cake to consider studying abroad for their children.
That is, the bigger the cake, the more cake New Oriental can share.
However, New Oriental is not only doing the field of studying abroad, our main business is all kinds of English training, and this cake is easier to grow. β
"Yes, so senior brother, you still work hard at New Oriental, and you have a great future if you do a good job."
Zhou Xin naturally inquired about Wang Qiang's origin from the counselor, and in his opinion, he must have mixed well with the famous teacher who joined New Oriental so early.
When New Oriental expanded in the early days, those who were assigned to other branches as principals basically started with an annual salary of one million.
From the perspective of buying a house, one million in the early 2,000s is more fragrant than the ten million in later generations.
Wang Qiang asked: "Since you are so optimistic about New Oriental, have you ever thought about returning to China to work in New Oriental?"
I'm also helping Lao Yu recruit you.
We are absolutely able to offer the best of the best. β
In fact, in this era, if you want to mix well, there are countless ways to go.
There is no need to go to Berkeley, with his ability, he can directly drop out of school to start a business, take advantage of the information gap to start an Internet company, and then sell the company.
Use the accumulated raw capital to engage in angel investment.
Wealth freedom can be achieved casually.
But why go to Berkeley? Why keep going to Hu Zhengming?
The most important reason is that I hope that when Huaguo's chip industry faces a comprehensive blockade in the future, Huaguo will have a way out and countermeasures.
He didn't want to watch a large group of enterprises take a lot of money for subsidies, and domestic equipment is still only in the laboratory stage.
As soon as the leader pays attention, it is there, and it is actually necessary to pull it to the production workshop to experiment, that is, to debug.
As an industry insider, Zhou Xin can be called the upper reaches of the food chain, including his personal relationship with Liang Mengsong, and he knows very well how the localization of the chip industry is doing.
From the establishment of the big fund in 14 years, it has become the consensus of the whole Chinese society to solve the problem of stuck neck after 18 years.
In fact, until Zhou Xinlai in 2020, the domestic equipment rate of Huaguo's 28nm chip production line was only 15%.
Even if everything goes well, Huaguo will not have the ability to produce 28nm chips nationwide until 2030.
At that time, Western countries began to produce 1nm.
At that time, relying on the advantage of computing power, the gap between foreign artificial intelligence and domestic artificial intelligence is very large.
After coming to this era, Zhou Xin has been thinking about it many times at night, whether to struggle.
Every time Zhou Xin persisted, it was the days in Washington.
As the capital of Americacan, Washington has very few Chinese people, and most of the Chinese are concentrated in California, New York and New Jersey.
Zhou Xin had a deep sense of loneliness when he was in Washington, D.C., because of his sensitive work, although it was a business activity, but he was the first line of the battle between the two giants of Ameriken and Huaguo.
Any of his actions would be seen as acting on behalf of the Chinese state, which was told to him privately by a Washington lobbyist.
Zhou Xin always had the illusion that his calls were being monitored.
During his year in Washington, he was deeply aware of the consensus reached by Ameriken to contain China's development in all high-tech fields.
Semiconductors are just the gripper that Ameriken has found.
When Zhou Xin came to this era, he hoped to go to Washington again in twenty years, they were a negotiation, not a plea like he was in Washington.
Wang Qiang didn't know why the other party suddenly fell silent, but he just saw Zhou Xin staring blankly at the teacup in front of him.
"Sometimes there are a lot of good paths, but I just want to take a path that is not so easy to take.
According to Maslow's theory of needs, I was looking for some degree of transcendence. β
The gap between Huaguo and China in the field of semiconductors is all-round, and it is not at all possible to surpass it by one person.
It is almost impossible to catch up in the semiconductor field by one person.
There is another system that says that the sΓ©ance is capable of solving all real-world problems.
"So New Oriental is a good choice, but that's not what I need.
I am still grateful to New Oriental for giving me 100,000 RMB, which helped me meet my low-level needs. Zhou Xin didn't want the atmosphere to be too serious, so he joked.
Wang Qiang realized that the young man in front of him had an incomprehensible ambition in his heart: "Okay, our Lord Yan must have this spirit of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!"
Come, I'll replace the wine with tea, and wish my brother all the best after he goes to Berkeley! β
On the eve of leaving Yanjing, except for another reunion with his roommates, Zhou Xin has been in a state of efficient study.
He needs to understand the current stage of the development of integrated circuits in academia and industry.
At the same time, I am also preparing for what I want to come up with and how far I want to show my strength after going to Berkeley.
It is necessary to have bright muscles.
Although he got along well with Hu Zhengming in his previous life, it does not mean that he wants to be treated as a laborer when he goes to Berkeley this time.
Work in exchange for a doctorate, this is the path of the average person.
The chips in Zhou's novice hands don't have to go this way at all.
Time is precious, there are too many things to do, and Zhou Xin still wants to get a start-up capital from Hu Zhengming.
The 100,000 RMB given by New Oriental is at best a living expense, and if you want to start your own business, or start a business in America, you can't afford to splash a little bit of water if you want to start your own business.
