Ye Hualai's itinerary at HKUST is about three and a half hours, no more than four hours.
Under the reception of the school leaders, Ye Hua and Principal Bao communicated for about half an hour. This was a non-public communication.
Afterwards, Academician Bao served as a guide and took him to see the research and experimental sites of HKUST and meet many professors. It has to be said that the system of HKUST is very complete. Basically, science and engineering majors that he wants to study and are interested in can be found here.
Two hours later, a figure from Ye Hua's mouth made HKUST very excited. Coastline Group decided to fund RMB 3.2 billion to support HKUST's scientific research.
During last week's trip to Europe, although Ye Hua personally visited only five well-known European universities, Coastline actually funded more than 30 European universities or research institutes in Europe, including 220 million to the University of Göttingen.
Euros are the largest amount.
After returning to China this time, I came to the University of Science and Technology, and the funding amount was twice that of the University of Göttingen.
RMB 3.2 billion, which is definitely a huge amount of funding. Basically, professors at the University of Science and Technology doing basic research can apply for funding from this fund pool throughout the next year.
It is worth mentioning that funding and donations are two completely different properties.
Ye Hua decided that Coastline Group's scientific research investment budget would be a one-time increase of US$10 billion based on last year's total investment, which is an investment of US$22.8 billion.
Of the additional US$10 billion, US$6.2 billion was invested in Europe, US$3 billion was invested in China, which translates into about RMB20 billion, and the other US$800 million was invested in North America.
There is not much investment in North America. Americans are actually not short of money and have difficulties. Europe is different and has constant troubles. The establishment of the wsio organization has had a huge impact on employees in the technology industry represented by semiconductors in Europe.
At this time, of course, we must open our arms to accept a large number of "refugees" from Europe. In fact, Coastline is relatively late to take action. Domestic semiconductor manufacturers have long been eyeing European talents, but Coastline Group needs far more talents than
It's the semiconductor industry.
This money is used to fund universities and colleges around the world, with the purpose of establishing a global talent pool and supplying the Coastline Group.
It’s all because of the lack of talent.
Ye Hua has realized this. In the future, with the development and expansion of Coastline Group, the demand for talents will further surge. If we don't make arrangements in advance now, we will cry when there is a shortage of people in the future. Then we want to play some new tricks.
, without talents you can’t commercialize and popularize it on a large scale, you can only stay in the laboratory.
Facts have proven that at any time, the most important thing is not capital, but talent.
If you have capital and don’t have people, your capital won’t be able to operate. The principle is the same. Any business needs people to do it. To scale it up, it requires the coordination of a huge team.
…
At around 16:00, Ye Hua, on behalf of Coastline Group and HKUST, publicly announced that Coastline Group had funded HKUST RMB 3.2 billion for basic scientific research, and that the two parties had established a long-term talent strategic cooperation.
Efficiency is a place to cultivate talents, and Coastline Group is a place to employ people, so the cooperation is natural.
At 16:21, it was finally time for the last part of the trip, the speech.
The location was a multimedia hall on campus. At this moment, more than two thousand people had gathered and finally waited for the idol they had been waiting for.
On the stage of the multimedia hall, more than 2,000 people and the audience watching the live broadcast 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. Then I asked him why you had to wait so long? He said there would be no seats if you didn't wait. Wow,
I didn’t expect that I would be so popular at HKUST. I also asked the staff if you wouldn’t get bored just waiting? He said you probably would, but boredom does not mean impatient.”
"You are worthy of being from the University of Science and Technology. People who do science need this kind of patience. I give you a thumbs up."
After simply completing the opening, Ye Hua looked around the audience. The fans on the scene caught Ye Hua's gaze. Although it was only a moment when their eyes met, they were very excited.
Many students still admire him. A boss is a boss. Although Ye Hua is basically in the same age group as the 2,000 people present, he is calm and calm on the stage, full of aura, and his words and deeds are smooth.
to.
Ye Hua is used to seeing bigger scenes, but for most of the students sitting in the audience, even in such a scene, they are a little timid to give a speech on the stage. Generally speaking, science and engineering students are not so
Be good at this kind of activity.
"You may also know that I went to Europe in the past week, where I gave lectures every day. But today at HKUST, I thought about it and decided to use the so-called joint ban on Coastline Group last year as a starting point."
The scene was very quiet. Everyone looked at Ye Hua, who continued to preach:
"Looking back at the ban incident, this incident has caused a huge impact at home and abroad, especially at home. It can be seen that since the incident, even now, a large number of people tend to have a negative and pessimistic attitude, and have accumulated
A lot of anxiety and worry."
“Many people are worried that our country will fail to compete in the high-tech war, worried that our country’s products will not be able to enter the window of developed countries, worried that it will not be able to introduce talents, worried that it will not be able to introduce technology, and worried that Western developed countries will get together and kick us away.
He doesn’t want to play with us anymore, and he is also worried that China’s technical system will be isolated by foreigners and cannot communicate with the outside world, etc., etc...."
"This has caused many people to wonder, are we too immodest? We are trying to challenge the authoritative Western cutting-edge science and technology system, but in the end, it attracted people's attention, and they responded with a containment package."
"In fact, whenever you mention domestic technology, many people subconsciously sneer at it. Whenever you announce a Chinese scientific and technological achievement, many people also subconsciously question fraud or simply think that it is a government subsidy. Our Coastline Group is slightly better.
They have made some achievements, but most other domestic technology companies are not so good, especially netizens are very demanding on them."
"Does that mean we won't report any results or not? We won't publicize them anymore?"
"This issue is a huge tangle for many scientific research institutions and technology companies. In fact, what I want to say is that both universities and colleges and technology companies should openly promote their academic achievements or technological achievements.
"
"Ten or twenty years ago you said you should keep a low profile and bide your time, but now you can't hold it back even if you want to. Our country is so big and now the whole world is staring at you, how can you keep it up? You're not lying to 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 hold it any longer!"
"Actually, foreigners don't understand. They say that you Chinese people are obviously so...foreigners use the word "power". You are very powerful and you still say that you are not good. So foreigners don't understand. They think you are not honest and weird."
Yes, foreigners are a little suspicious too."
"In fact, we are very powerful now. This is an objective reality that does not depend on personal will. Foreigners have realized this, especially in the West, but the interesting thing is that some Chinese people do not realize this."
"The body muscles have been developed, but the brain thinking and self-confidence may not have kept up, so foreigners think you are Chinese and blame this place, haha~~"
"I think that not only can we not hold on, but we can't do it anymore. Now is the best time to attract talents from around the world. In today's new era, there are also new ideas and concepts. Whether it is our domestic universities or colleges or major technology companies,
Well, everyone should dare to open their arms and embrace a large number of scientists back home."
"The times are always changing, and what remains unchanged is how to adapt to the changing times. If you continue to think about hiding your strength and biding your time, digging deep holes, accumulating food widely, and holding on to the mentality of staying steady and not wandering, you will definitely miss the times."
"We are a big country, a very large country, with a population of 14.5 billion. We are born to do big things. Don't carry the flag when it's not your turn. You must carry it when it's your turn. If you don't carry the flag now,
If you don’t make your voice heard, even if you have a huge and grand plan, excellent scientists will definitely not come if they cannot see or know your appeal.”
"Careers are made by people, and only with talents can things be done, so there is no need for universities and colleges to keep a low profile. They must strengthen openness and cooperation so as to attract talents. Scientific researchers must also dare to announce their results so that others can see you.
If you hide the value of your research all day long and don’t know about it, others will definitely not support you, and capital will certainly not support you.”
"Universities and colleges are the commanding heights of the talent strategy. Our coastline has opened its arms to receive these scientists from all over the world. We are not stingy with scientific undertakings. This time we funded HKUST with RMB 3.2 billion and will provide more funding in the future. We hope to be able to
Contribute your share of capital to promote the explosion of basic research, promote the development of technological applications, and promote the prosperity and progress of scientific and technological civilization."
"thank you all."
Ye Hua gave an unscripted speech throughout the whole process. Just after the last words fell, the multimedia hall resounded with endless warm applause...
