Chapter 170: Saving the country through curves, the first person in the Hundred People Plan!
Tuesday, March 15th.
Today is Consumer Rights Protection Day, and it is also the day when "Brain Master" is officially launched.
It didn't cause much commotion.
"Brain Master" itself is not the kind of game that attracts a lot of money. It is only targeted at some specific groups of people, so it is naturally unlikely to cause too much of a sensation.
However, it is indeed a big surprise for players who like this type of game.
Bluebirds entertain each other.
It has once again been labeled as "original" by the majority of players, once again leading a new category of mobile games.
Another wave of word-of-mouth reviews.
But even if the popularity is not high, after all, with the golden name of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and the efforts of 71 Assistant to promote it, the number of downloads of "Brain Master" exceeded one million in the first hour after it was launched.
Remember, this is a working day.
As soon as the data came out, it was once again verified that 71 Assistant’s current terrifying traffic and channel advantages are obvious.
Tenda should be under pressure again.
…………
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Shuo, Jiang Yue and Wang Yan were invited to his alma mater, Binhai University.
The speeches and other matters were secondary, and the main thing was to discuss things with the school leaders. The person who came out to receive him was Tong Guozheng, the deputy dean of the School of Computer Science, who is also the mentor of senior brother Wang Yan.
"Every time we meet, Gu Ya is refreshing." Dean Tong seemed to have something in his words.
I guess it reminds me of the last party.
Although he said he was well-intentioned, he failed to recruit many valuable talents for Bu Ya.
It was a little awkward to meet again.
In fact, only two short months have passed since the last time we met, but Mo Yao seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes, and his popularity has skyrocketed.
It's hard not to feel emotional.
After the speech, Zhang Shuo and his party were received by Principal He.
"I heard that Mei Ya is interested in participating in the computer laboratory that Binhai University is cooperating with the government to build?" After the pleasantries, Principal He took the initiative to stir up the topic.
Dean Tong also straightened up.
To be honest, he didn't have much interest in Mei Ya participating in the establishment of the computer laboratory before. Now that Mei Ya is gaining momentum, he has changed his mind again.
I mentioned it to Principal He.
Zhang Shuo exchanged a look with Wang Yan and said with a slight apology: "Yes, Chunmiao Fund has prepared 10 million funds before, hoping to participate in the preparation of the computer laboratory."
Dean Tong smiled.
Don't look at the fact that when Zhang Shuo held meetings with senior executives, his expenses were always measured in hundreds of millions. In fact, ten million is definitely not a small amount, but it has helped the college a lot.
Zhang Shuo is indeed a good boy.
"It's just that later we calculated it and found that the computer laboratory is a national laboratory. As a private enterprise, it seemed inappropriate to participate in it, so we rejected it," Zhang Shuo said.
"????"
Dean Tong's smile froze instantly.
"So, what do you mean?" Principal He was also a little confused.
"I am going to donate all of this ten million to my alma mater to support the alma mater's research in basic subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc." Zhang Shuo changed his subject.
"That's great!"
Unlike Dean Tong's disappointment, Principal He was very happy that Mo Ya was willing to pay 10 million without any demands for benefits, but the conditions were more relaxed than before.
Principal He is naturally happy to see the results.
It's just that Dean Tong's expression was very unnatural, as if he had been slapped in the face by Zhang Shuo in public.
Zhang Shuo has no bad taste, nor would he offend Dean Tong for no reason. After all, Dean Tong is still his senior brother's mentor.
change idea.
It is just out of consideration for the future development strategy of the bud.
It has nothing to do with personal feelings.
As for whether Dean Tong will hate Zhang Shuo because of this incident, or even cause trouble in the upcoming graduate student reexamination in April, Zhang Shuo is not worried at all.
Because the trend is now budding.
With the rise of the bud, now it is Dean Tong who asks for Zhang Shuo, not Zhang Shuo who asks for him.
Especially after Moya donated the ten million, he really didn't worry about anyone at Binhai University who would have trouble with Zhang Shuo, not to mention Zhang Shuo abiding by the rules, even if Zhang Shuo did something outrageous.
That means turning a blind eye.
Zhang Shuo decided not to participate in the preparation of the computer laboratory. First, Germination's own scientific research strength had already improved and there was no need to take advantage of this opportunity.
And it is indeed possible to teach others how to do it.
The second thing is that although Dean Tong helped to connect people before, he followed a circle route.
Zhang Shuo didn't like it.
Circle culture looks beautiful, but in fact it is so hypocritical that it is nothing more than a fool's business.
I haven't seen anyone doing anything practical.
The previous party had failed to produce any results, which is clear proof.
As for donating 10 million yuan to his alma mater to support basic college research, it can be regarded as buying horse bones. Zhang Shuo just wants to use 10 million yuan to pry open a hole in basic disciplines.
Serve as an example.
"Dean He, if it's convenient, could you recommend Professor Li Mingzhe from the Department of Mathematics?"
Zhang Shuo also did enough homework before coming.
To be honest, among the universities across the country, Binhai University is not very powerful, and its foundation is relatively weak. In the field of basic subjects, the only one who is good at it is Professor Li Mingzhe.
If you drop ten million dollars, you have to hear a sound, right?
Li Mingzhe has already been rated as a professor at the age of 35. He is a typical young genius and has made great achievements in the field of algorithms. He is a suitable candidate to head the Sprout Intelligent Algorithm Laboratory.
"sure."
Principal He didn't care about Dean Tong's embarrassment and asked someone to call Li Mingzhe to the reception room on the spot.
A very gentle man, wearing thick glasses.
Li Mingzhe was surprised when he learned that Mei Ya was going to invest 10 million to fund basic discipline research at Binhai University. He thought he had heard wrongly.
He is just not sociable, but it is not that he is ignorant of worldly affairs.
It is clear that companies generally like to fund applied-level subject research such as computers and electronic information, but they have always been left out of basic subjects that cannot produce results.
The sprouts are obviously unusual.
"It's like this," Dean He happened to be there, so Zhang Shuo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the topic: "Mr. Ya is planning to build an intelligent algorithm laboratory and hopes to hire Professor Li as the chief scientist."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But I want to teach in school."
Li Mingzhe subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Mei Ya had just donated 10 million, he felt very embarrassed.
"There is no conflict."
Zhang Shuo had already made a plan in his mind, "Professor Li can completely retain his teaching position at Binhai University, just treat the Intelligent Algorithm Laboratory as a place where you do scientific research, teaching and scientific research."
"May I?"
Li Mingzhe didn't dare to make his own decision and looked at Principal He.
"Of course, it can be considered a combination of industry, academia and research."
On this occasion, under this situation, no matter what the principal thought privately, at least for now, there was no way to refute Zhang Shuo's request in person.
The handler has short hands!
"That would be great."
Zhang Shuo gave Jiang Yue a look, and the latter understood, took out the employment contract prepared in advance on the spot, and actually hired Principal He.
Principal He and Li Mingzhe were not given a chance to repent.
"This boy!"
Principal He smiled bitterly inwardly, as he understood Zhang Shuo's style of doing things.
Don't talk about it.
At least Moo Yao's respect and desire for talents is something he appreciates.
Only Dean Tong seemed a little lonely.
As for Li Mingzhe, after opening the contract, his hands shook three times.
The treatment Zhang Shuo gave Li Mingzhe was not only the chief scientist of the Intelligent Algorithm Laboratory, but also the first person in the budding "Hundred Talents Plan".
Five million annual salary and five million placement fee!
"If necessary, the company can also provide you with a special driver, Professor Li, so that you can travel to and from school and the laboratory to save time to the maximum extent." Zhang Shuo added with a smile.
"No, no need..."
In fact, as a professor at Binhai University, Li Mingzhe is not short of money, at least not bad.
Although there is no way to buy a house in Binhai City, I live in a staff apartment assigned by the school. Although the salary is not very high, it is enough for living needs.
But who would dislike money? Especially if you earn it through your own skills.
Even if Li Mingzhe himself does not have high material needs, he still has to consider his wife and children, especially the next generation, and cannot always live in faculty apartments.
In addition to the favorable conditions, which made Li Mingzhe happily sign, there was also no KPI specified in the contract.
It means.
Sprout does not impose strict requirements on scientists' research results, research progress, or even research direction, and allows them to fish in an open and honest manner.
It’s not that Zhang Shuo is big-hearted.
But basic research is different from applied research. Results cannot be achieved by working overtime. Creative thinking is required. Many breakthroughs often come from a sudden flash of inspiration.
Zhang Shuo remembered that Warwick once said in an interview that a scientist Warwick hired in Eastern Europe had not produced any results for three to five years.
Every day at work, I either sleep or play games.
But suddenly one day, this very individual scientist submitted a research result to Warwick's headquarters, which became one of the keys to Warwick's breakthrough in 5G technology.
"Then, welcome to join Sprout!"
Zhang Shuo was very excited after winning the first battle. Next, he planned to repeat this model. He would first donate a sum of money to the university where the target scientist was located to lay the foundation, and then propose a cooperation plan.
And in order to consider these scientists as much as possible, Sprout will also set up laboratories in major cities instead of concentrating on Binhai City.
This will help scientists travel between schools and laboratories.
It is tantamount to engaging in joint research and development.
Of course, if any scientist is willing to resign from his teaching position and concentrate on research and development in Germination, Zhang Shuo will definitely welcome him with both hands.
Even so, Zhang Shuo is not confident that the Hundred Talents Plan can be implemented smoothly.
Because the fact is that many domestic universities, especially the top ones, are actually not that short of R&D funds. It is by no means that they can be suppressed by investing 10 million yuan.
The top ones probably have a small target.
Who can bear it?
So Zhang Shuo's current plan is to take the peripheral route first, spend money on universities like Binhai University, and hire more than a dozen scientists.
Let’s solve the problem of availability first, and at least let each laboratory run first.
