I Am the President of the University

Heron Island is a seaside city, and the sea breeze blows at night.

In autumn and winter, it will be a little cold.

Fortunately, it is only the end of October, not too cold.

Even so, Chen Hao, who came out of the food stall, was blown away by the cold wind, and the sleepiness that was still there was instantly vanished.

The conversation between Ren Hong and Chen Ping came to Chen Hao's ears along the wind.

"Professor Chen, are you drunk?"

"How much do I drink, how could I be drunk!"

"Then your face is so red?"

Chen Ping blushed, "Blushing? Probably it's too hot."

Just as Professor Chen Ping finished speaking, a sea breeze blew past.

Chill.

Chen Hao shook his head, glanced over the two of them, and shouted directly at Dai Wenyu's group of people, "Little Dai, remember to take care of the next professor and Professor Chen on the way back."

"Okay, Principal Chen, don't worry." After Chen Hao shouted, Dai Wenyu also got out of the crowd and came to the middle of Chen Ping and Ren Hong.

Chen Ping's eyelids struggled repeatedly, opened and closed, still muttering, "I'm not drunk."

Chen Hao and Ren Hong looked at each other with some helplessness in their eyes.

The two of them didn't drink much, only Chen Ping drank the most.

After all, Chen Ping has been doing scientific research at Zhejiang University since he returned to China, and it has been more than ten years since then.

After leaving Zhejiang University and coming to Guanghua, it is still difficult to calm down.

Tonight's dust-cleaning feast, the drink is wine, and the sorrow is eliminated.

The group divided several cars and took a taxi back to school together. Chen Hao waved his hand in place, and then he was ready to take a taxi back to the hotel until the car disappeared from his sight.

Because he expected to drink tonight, Chen Hao didn't drive by himself. Anyway, he didn't need to bother other people too much about getting a taxi.

Called an online car, stood there and waited for a while, a black BMW slowly stopped in front of him.

Chen Hao got the license plate number, opened the back door and got in.

"Master, go to Bailu International Hotel."

Sitting in the driving position was a middle-aged uncle. He glanced at Chen Hao and asked, "Is the last number 9937?"

"right."

After speaking, Chen Hao moved his buttocks, adjusted to a comfortable posture, and turned on the closed-eye mode.

Now there are full-time and part-time car owners who drive online car-hailing.

Many part-timers work during the day and hold meetings at night to earn extra money.

Although Heron Island is not big, life is not easy.

Most of the masters like to drive and chat, but there are also a small number of masters who like to drive quietly.

For example, this middle-aged man was relieved to see Chen Hao's quiet appearance.

I was still a little sleepy at first, but when I thought of the two gold-swallowing beasts at home, I instantly regained my energy and concentrated on driving.

And Chen Hao in the back row explored the system by taking advantage of the time in the car.

Especially the new research function.

Looking at the above data, he said a little depressedly: "System, why is the progress of optical core research and development still 15%?"

When the new function was first opened, the development progress of the optical core was 14%, and then it has not changed until it increased by 1% yesterday.

The system replied: "The R\u0026D progress bar is monitored in real time according to the existing R\u0026D environment."

"But didn't Professor Chen Ping join the team? Why hasn't the progress bar changed?" Chen Hao was still confused.

The system explained: "The addition of subsequent R\u0026D personnel will not immediately increase the progress bar, but will only improve the R\u0026D efficiency."

After thinking for a while, Chen Hao continued to ask, "Is there nothing else?"

"If the R\u0026D personnel who join later have materials or finished products that are important for R\u0026D breakthroughs, they will use the R\u0026D progress to change immediately."

The system's icy voice made Chen Hao feel icy in his heart.

Professor Chen Ping also mentioned to Chen Hao about the data in the laboratory before.

Because the research and development funds of the laboratory are all provided by the state and Zhejiang University, the ownership of these materials is likely to be difficult to take away.

However, the optical core laboratory here in Guanghua is a national key project. It is not impossible to bring some materials here, but I just want to spend a while to talk.

At that time, I just wanted to promote the progress of optical core research and development as soon as possible.

Now he regrets it a little.

"It really hurts." Chen Hao sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling his teeth sore.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the car was driving on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, less than 2 kilometers away from Bailu Hotel in a straight line.

Through the car window, look at the bustling crowd outside the window.

There are young couples holding hands on the street, and sometimes a family of four who stop to take pictures.

A glimmer of envy flashed in his eyes.

But in just a moment, it disappeared.

The car stopped quickly, and after getting out of the car, he called Chen Hao with a five-star praise, and glanced at the Egret Hotel beside him.

He didn't go in directly, but walked into the underground passage on the side.

After a while, Chen Hao appeared on the other side of the road.

On the side of Huandao Road, outside the railings, is the sea with wavy moonlight.

The oncoming sea breeze made Chen Hao's restless heart gradually calm down.

Relying on Langan, Chen Hao fell into contemplation.

The conversation with Professor Chen Ping and Professor Ren Hong tonight made Chen Hao deeply impressed by Professor Rao.

For a time, there was some emotion in my heart.

How does the scientific research atmosphere in China compare to that in foreign countries?

Chen Hao had never experienced it before, but the information he learned from Professor Chen tonight surprised him.

"In Huaxia, in order to obtain major projects, an open secret is that doing research well is not as important as building relationships with certain people."

"Before, I witnessed a few old academicians, surrounded by a director with a smile."

Chen Ping couldn't get used to this scientific research atmosphere, but he could only endure it.

Sometimes those engaged in scientific research are far inferior to those engaged in administration in terms of status.

For example, in a previous research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, more than 90 researchers resigned collectively, which can be reflected.

These more than 90 people have doctoral degrees, and more than 70 people are staffed.

At the end of the last century, there was a jingle at that time: It is better to sell tea eggs than to make missiles, and it is better to use a scalpel than a razor.

Even if there is an establishment, the salary treatment is compared with the annual salary of Huaxing and Tengxun, which starts at 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, and even the million-dollar annual salary offered by top foreign companies.

Originally, the salary was not high, and he was often bullied. Dedication was not just based on words.

Kennedy famously said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

This is also the reason why Chen Hao returned to China.

He wants to come back and do something for the country.

At first he wanted to make a career in the computer field, which he is good at.

But the appearance of the system interrupted his plan.

But then, he found a better way.

Having seen the education gap at home and abroad, Chen Hao wanted to see if he could set off a huge wave in the education world.

He wants to make Guanghua University the number one university in the world.

Not only does it have the world's top knowledge, but also the best scientific research environment!

Students can concentrate on their studies without being disturbed, and scholars can also not worry about material conditions or bend their spines to seek funding for scientific research.

"There are too many smart people in the world. In their world, there are no hurricanes, no pastels, no chivalry, no stars and Wen Tianxiang. They have no idealism. They are too poor."

Professor Rao could have been such a wise man, and could have lived as comfortable as a wise man, but he did not despise it.

Chen Hao also did not want to be such a person.

Looking up, you can see the bright night sky.

He chuckled lightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a nice arc.

"It's so boring to be like that."

He turned around and plunged into the surging crowd.

He didn't know what kind of ambition Professor Rao returned to China thirteen years ago.

What he knew was that his path had just begun.

Amidst the clamor of wind, there was a word that passersby couldn't hear.

"I want to be a meaningful person."

...

Beautiful Country, Intel Corporation Headquarters.

A conference room was full of people.

What's being discussed here are talks to sell Intel's AR business.

Seller: Intel Corporation.

The buyer...is from Guanghua University in Huaxia.

Zhu Chen sat in his seat and kept his mouth shut, as if he only brought his ears and listened to the price confrontation between the two negotiators.

Sitting next to him is a business negotiator hired by Guanghua University with a high salary.

Of course, professional things must be left to professional people to do.

Intel Corp. initially offered $700 million to sell its AR business.

Of course the price is ridiculous.

Fortunately, these top international negotiators entered the field, after the recent fierce confrontation.

The price has managed to drop to $420 million.

And after today's negotiation, the $400 million price is almost no problem.

"Based on the market reaction of Intel's Vaunt smart glasses and the technical defects on this glasses... We believe that 420 million US dollars is still a bit high, and 400 million US dollars is our reserve price, and we must not add any more. "

"NO! According to IDC's estimates, the market size of augmented reality and virtual reality hardware is expected to reach $150 billion by 2025. This market prospect is very large, and our company's products are the most perfect smart glasses that have been launched... "

The two parties were tit for tat on price, and neither was willing to back down.

On the other hand, a middle-aged man with blond hair and an aquiline nose sitting next to him impatiently stopped his subordinates, skipped the negotiators, and focused on Zhu Chen.

The hook-nosed man is Horst Poirot, head of Intel's NDG division.

He presided over the sale of the AR business this time.

"Mr.Zhu, $400 million can be sold to you, but I have a better proposal."

"What advice?" Zhu Chen, who had heard some joy in the first half of the sentence, couldn't help but feel vigilant after listening to the other party's words.

Poirot lay on his office chair and said lightly: "The AR business can be sold to you for $350 million."

What kind of shit is this?

The group of Intel negotiators sitting next to him were dumbfounded.

400 million US dollars can be traded today, why should they take the initiative to drop 50 million US dollars?

"Is this too much money?"

Zhu Chen thought to himself.

But his face remained as calm as ever.

"There is a saying in Huaxia: there is no pie in the sky. Mr. Poirot, we at Guanghua University are sincerely buying your company's AR business."

Being able to become a top executive at Intel is naturally not a stupid pig.

A good price reduction, if there is no problem, the pig is not the other party but Zhu Chen himself.

"Hahaha." Poirot laughed and praised, "You Chinese people are still so cunning. In addition to our AR business, our NDG department also has the BasisPeak smart watch business. If we join this business together. Sale, $500 million."

Smart glasses + smart watch plus $500 million packaged for sale?

Smartwatches really aren't on his radar.

The negotiator John on the side whispered: "Zhu, this price is still very good, I think you can consider it."

Of course, John is so attentive because one more transaction, the more commission he gets.

And he also spoke from the employer's standpoint.

Although Intel's BasisPeak failed, it has a lot of patented technologies. According to previous assessments, the value of the smart watch business is about 200 million US dollars.

These data are prior professional asset appraisals.

Zhu Chen's brain was running at a high speed, and this transaction was naturally not a loss.

The AR business of Intel was originally intended to be purchased for $400 million, but now it is packaged with $500 million, which is equivalent to only spending $100 million to acquire the smartwatch business incidentally.

Poirot's voice came again.

"You can think about it, this transaction is definitely not a loss."

Zhu Chen was calm, just a little curious. He looked at the other party and asked, "Isn't Intel worried that we can successfully develop smart glasses?"

Guanghua was already on the opposite side of Intel, but Intel sold technology to this enemy, which made Zhu Chen a little puzzled.

"Zhu, I admit that you managed to make me laugh."

After Poirot finished laughing, his face immediately turned cold, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Even our Intel company failed, even if you Chinese people take over, you want to succeed? Oh, if it is in a dream, it is true It's possible."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked!

In particular, Intel's employees looked anxious.

I yelled at Poirot for being a fool!

It's okay to say this in private, even after signing the contract, how can you say it now!

"I'm very disappointed with Mr. Poirot's idea. Is it still unclear why the Superlight (ie Vaunt glasses) project failed?"

Zhu Chen's words pierced Poirot's heart like a knife.

"Vaunt glasses have bright prospects both in terms of design concept and implementation. Unfortunately, Intel has handed over this project to a stupid pig, otherwise it would not have consumed so much money in exchange for a failed result. "

After Zhu Chen said happily, John's face suddenly changed, and he secretly pulled Zhu Chen's clothes.

This is so offensive.

Isn't that blaming the other side for the failure of Intel's smart glasses?

But in fact, wearable smart products such as AR and VR, although they can become a way of people's pastime and entertainment, their commercial value is far less than that of smartphones.

In the past few years, in the AR and VR markets, we have witnessed the closure of projects, unfinished products, and even bankruptcy of one company after another. Here, the so-called strong man must be mentioned.

The failure of Intel's smart glasses is mainly due to the capital investment and technical requirements that are too high. With the current market dynamics, Intel must stop losses in time, otherwise it will likely affect the research and development and investment of its main business.

"You mean, the reason why the Vaunt glasses failed has something to do with me?" Poirot's face became colder and more ugly.

Zhu Chen asked back, "Why not?"

Poirot snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Then you mean that if you were to replace it, this project would be successful?"

Zhu Chen nodded and said confidently, "Of course."

Poirot took a deep breath, he really wanted to get this nasty Chinese man out of the way.

But he knows that the failure of the NDG department has brought a lot of losses to Intel, and the other party is the only one with a high bid. If these Chinese people are driven away,

He believes that Swan, the head of Intel, will also drive it away, and he will show no mercy.

He tried his best to control the anger in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "Then I look forward to the Vaunt glasses that will shine in your hands."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Chen was a little surprised.

I originally thought that this acquisition was cool, but I didn't expect the other party to be willing to sell it.

It seems that Intel is really ready to give up on the wearable smart market.

"The negotiation needs to be suspended. I need to discuss it with our principal. See you in the afternoon."

After speaking, Zhu Chen got up and left with John and the others.

Just as Zhu Chen got up and left, and the conference room door was closed, Poirot suddenly stood up from his office chair, grabbed the information on the table, and tore it into shreds of paper.

At this moment, the demeanor from the executives of the world's top technology companies disappeared completely.

It's like a drunken tramp on the side of the road, going crazy with alcohol.

"f**k, these despicable and disgusting Chinese people! I will definitely make you pay the price!"

As for the staff next to him, facing Poirot's vent, he just kept silent and did not dare to move.

Poirot left the conference room with "f**k" on his lips, ready to report to Swan.

On the way, there was a jolt in my trouser pocket.

He took out his phone and saw that the caller was an Apple executive.
