"Professor Hu Zhengming is the first president of CAAS, and he is also my doctoral supervisor, does this feel like a king?

Mr. Lee Tsung-dao said to me, don't worry, the organization has already decided, and the second one is for you to go up and speak. If anyone has an opinion about you, and he gives more money than you, he will go up and tell him.

I instantly felt much more at ease, although everyone here is more knowledgeable than me, but everyone doesn't have as much money as me.

Haha simple joke. ”

As the largest donor of CAAS and one of the founders, Zhou Xin is naturally qualified to speak at the inauguration ceremony, and with his status, no one here will question his speech.

But Zhou Xin's little joke at the beginning still made the audience have some good impressions of him, and no one would not like a junior who is humorous and respects himself.

Zhou Xin continued: "Because of my work, I have held many press conferences, and the most crowded was probably the Quora Golden Selection Conference held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, when there were more than 12,000 people on the scene, including media reporters.

The 200 people here today put more pressure on me than the 12,000 people at that time, because you are all my elders in my age, and you are all seniors in the pursuit of knowledge.

When I talk about academics in front of everyone and talk about promoting academic exchanges between Ameriken and China, I always feel that I don't have any confidence.

Because I am still in the initial stage of academic research, I am only in my second year of PhD, and the promotion of academic exchanges between Ameriken and China is still more than lip service.

As far as I know, many of you often return to China to hold academic lectures, participate in academic forums, and conduct academic exchanges.

So here, I can only talk about why CAAS was founded, what we hope to achieve as a managing director and at the same time build a system for CAAS.

First of all, CAAS originated from the fact that I came to Ameriken as an international student, and in the process of studying at Berkeley, I realized that there are many backward places in Chinese academic education.

However, not all the younger generation in China have the same opportunity to continue their studies at Americon as I do, so I hope that the students in China can also receive a better education, at least through this kind of academic lectures, so that the students of China can increase their horizons.

Helping students in China know what the mainstream academia is doing, and then they may find their interests in it, maybe an academic lecture or an exchange and interaction with bigwigs is an opportunity for students in China to embark on the path of scientific research.

However, I can't do this alone, and I need to rely on the strength of Chinese scholars in the United States to do it.

So after I talked to Professor Hu about this, he thought we could set up an organization to do this.

Since the 80s, Professor Hu has been going to China to give academic lectures and conduct academic exchanges, and he has held several lectures at Yan University.

When Professor Hu went to Yan University to give a lecture, I had not yet enrolled in the university.

After we reached an agreement, Professor Hu had a much wider network in the academic world than I did, and later brought in several gentlemen such as Ding Zhaozhong, Lee Tsung-dao, Yau Chengtong and Zhang Zhongmou, and I sorted them by the first letter of pinyin.

Mr. Lee Tsung-dao, don't blame me for ranking you behind Mr. Ding Zhaozhong. The same is true of the latter two gentlemen.

After several seniors joined, they proposed that our goal could be bigger, not only to spread academic ideas, academic concepts and research directions in China, but also to carry out technical exchanges, and then we could learn from China what they are good at scientific research.

Chinese scholars are definitely not inferior to Ameritian scholars in terms of ability, but they lack academic foundation and academic taste due to historical reasons, and we can promote Chinese scholars to come to Americon for academic visits, and give full play to the energy between scholars from the two countries.

Eventually, the name of the organization became the current Chinese Association for the Promotion of Science.

In the future, I will donate some money as a scholarship for Chinese students to study in Americon and a living allowance for Chinese scholars to visit and study in Ameriken.

In the name of the Chinese Association for the Promotion of Science, the corresponding bonus will be established. ”

Zhou Xin also planned to set up a charitable foundation, which would invest at least 5% of its money in public welfare every year.

Therefore, donating this money to CAAS, and specifying the purpose of the donation, is to use the money that should have been taxed to fund Chinese students and scholars.

Zhou Xin continued: "As for the user system I built for CAAS, everyone can definitely feel it, and it is very my personal style.

From captcha to badges to level settings, this is to have some differentiation.

Since CAAS has the word science in its name, we hope that your power or status in the organization will be determined by your contribution to science.

Because there is also promotion in CAAS, the promotion content has also been added.

You can think of this as a role-playing game, CAAS releases tasks through the system I developed, such as going to China to hold an academic lecture in December this year, and those who are interested in participating can apply.

After the application is approved and completed, we will give you points as a reward, which can help you upgrade and enjoy the corresponding treatment after upgrading.

This kind of task belongs to the organization and release, and the seniors here have made academic breakthroughs themselves, such as what materials have been invented and what theorems have been proved, which is a task that is actively completed.

After filling in the relevant information and submitting supporting materials, we will also give points.

To put it simply, it's set up as a role-playing game.

Although I am the executive director, to put it bluntly, this role is to serve you well, so I hope that the system can serve you well in a fair, just and interesting way. ”

Zhou Xin plans to set up his own charitable foundation, and the vast majority of the fixed 5% public welfare donations every year will be donated to CAAS.

Make CAAS your own talent base.

The last to speak was Lee Tsung-dao, and Ding Zhaozhong did not like to speak on such occasions: "Zhou Xin just said it very well."

Li Yanhong watched Zhou Xin being high-spirited on stage offstage, and he was so comfortable teasing bigwigs like Li Zhengdao and Ding Zhaozhong, he felt envious in his heart.

Whether it is a Chinese or other race, a large part of the pursuit of life is nothing more than fame and fortune.

In Robin Li's view, Zhouxin's starting point can be said to be his end, and if he can make Baidu have the same market value as Quora, it will be enough for him to be satisfied.

In terms of fame, Zhou Xin is far beyond him, his fame is only limited to a small circle, and Zhou Xin is a world-renowned Internet tycoon.

What's more important is that Zhou Xin is still younger than him, and Robin Li even has six words in his mind: both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

This also makes Robin Li's idea of going public on Baidu even stronger, and after thinking about it, the biggest beneficiary of Baidu's listing is still Zhou Xin, and there is a feeling of decadence.

When the people around you are younger and much better than you, you need to adjust your thoughts as soon as possible.

Robin Li's method of self-consolation is that there is no one in the world who can be better than Zhou Xin, and he doesn't need to compare with him, he is already the best one in their class at Yenching University back then.

Baidu's next round of financing is also valued at at least $100 million.

But there's also the hard thing to do, and that's that once Quora kicks Baidu out of its list of suppliers, the valuation will be at least halved.

After Zhou Xin stepped down, Robin Li whispered as he passed by him: "Newman, you spoke very well, I didn't see that you are so good at this." ”

Zhou Xin didn't know what Robin Li thought, even if he knew, he just laughed at it, which belongs to the psychology that everyone will have:

"An entrepreneur who can't speak is not a good entrepreneur, and you didn't speak well when Baidu launched it before.

In the future, when Baidu is listed, you will have to exercise repeatedly when you need a roadshow, and everyone has this process.

In the previous press conference launched by Quora Jinxuan, I thought it was enough to send 5,000 tickets to go out, where would so many people travel all the way to San Francisco to attend the press conference.

At that time, Quora executives said to me, Newman, you have to believe in the appeal of you and quora, let me send 20,000 invitations out, and in the end we compromised 15,000, and it turned out that more than 10,000 people came.

How much pressure is there, there is a lot of pressure on the head below, you have a little content to talk about, and you will have to shout and scream to interrupt your train of thought. ”

Zhou Xin just said on the stage that this speech was more stressful, and it was completely polite, which was no different from an academic lecture, and there was no pressure at all.

The press conference held in San Francisco was really stressful, because there were too many people, and the number of people reached a certain level, and the sense of oppression brought was completely different.

And there are so many people that you can't control the situation at all, and you can't guarantee that what you're saying will go the way you want.

You think the audience is going to cheer here, but they don't, they don't think exactly the same way as you.

After attending the CAAS inauguration ceremony, Zhou Xin is about to prepare for the launch of Matrix, which is also the first product launch of Matrix.

This is a new beginning for him, and Zhou Xin has really never made consumer-grade products.

The new chip technology he established before is a product for enterprises, and there are too many cases for Internet products to learn from in later generations.

Huaguo Internet is the world's most volatile Internet market, and the Internet companies that can be killed here have their own unique skills.

Zhou Xin's Internet product thinking was a dimensionality reduction blow to the Ameriken Internet industry in 1999.

But consumer electronics is different, this is too complex, and there are countless links in the process node.

Product quality control, price, supply chain management, profit margins, brand marketing, product design, and more.

In the previous chapter, a reader replied to me that the value of the executive director is not as good as identifying with himself as a woman, and I wanted to reply under his comment, but I was swallowed by the starting point.

I would like to reply here that the executive director of the European and American Returned Scholars Association, which I know, had Deputy Minister Tongzhanbu give them a lesson when he was in Shanghai.

In March last year, this guy was able to get a special permit to go out of Shanghai. The CAAS gold content in the article is undoubtedly a step higher than that of the European and American Alumni Association, right?
