Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth
Chapter 232 Turing Award
As the mainland's reform and opening up accelerates, Bao Zixuan's companies are making every effort to increase investment in the mainland. Many people don't understand this, but only you know that these investments will be earned back hundreds or thousands of times in the future. Investing now may
He was suppressed by the Hong Kong government, but considering that there is an outstanding person like Huo Yingdong ahead of him, Bao Zixuan is at least safe. Moreover, the mainland will not remain indifferent while watching patriotic businessmen being suppressed, at least on the surface, it can get by.
Bao Zixuan stayed in Xiangjiang until the beginning of 1980. At this time, he had to return to the United States. Because the Turing Award, the highest honor in the computer industry, was awarded to him, he had to return to the United States to receive the award.
In fact, the software written by Bao Zixuan and his contribution to computer hardware could have received this honor a long time ago, but many people think that he is not a computer major and is not qualified. If a layman is allowed to receive the Turing Award, then who will concentrate on learning computers.
The Turing Award, full name "a.m. Turing Award", was established by the Association for Computing Machinery in 1966 to reward individuals who have made important contributions to the computer industry. Its name is taken from the pioneer of computer science, British scientist Alan Matheson
·Turing. Due to the Turing Award’s requirements for winning
The award is extremely high, and the award process is extremely strict. Generally, only one computer scientist is awarded each year. Only in very few years do two collaborators or scientists who have contributed in the same direction share this award. Therefore, it is the most prestigious and most prestigious award in the computer industry.
A lofty award, known as the "Nobel Prize in computing".
Since the Turing Award has extremely high requirements for winning conditions and the award process is extremely strict, generally only one computer scientist is awarded every year. Only in a very few years do two collaborators or scientists who have made contributions in the same direction share this award. Therefore, it is
It is the most prestigious and noble award in the computer industry, and is known as the "Nobel Prize in the computer industry".
Each year, the ACM will ask nominators to recommend candidates for this year's Turing Award and attach a 200 to 500-word essay explaining why the nominee deserves this award. Anyone can become a nominee. ACM
A selection committee will be formed to conduct a rigorous review of the nominees and finally determine the winner of the year.
Bao Zixuan only found out that he had won the award after receiving a call from Professor Harry Rowland. Professor Roland was one of the judges of the Turing Award. He had his own special channels, and Bao Zixuan was very excited to win this award, which is known as the Nobel Prize in the computer industry.
This is nothing more than adding chips to your own genius and making yourself more famous. Everyone has to take into account many things that are not good for you.
Harry Rowland said on the phone: "Boy, this news is shocking! Isn't it right that I asked you to learn computers in the first place?"
Bao Zixuan: "Thank you very much for your training, professor. Your teachings will be unforgettable for a lifetime. What should I pay attention to and when should I receive the award?"
Harry Rowland: "I'm informing you today. A dedicated staff member will contact you then. However, the award will be held on March 25th at the ACM headquarters in New York. You go back to school first, and we will
Let’s go together.”
Bao Zixuan: "Okay, thank you, Professor. I will return to school immediately after I have arranged things in Xiangjiang."
At present, only a few people know that Bao Zixuan won the Turing Award. After all, it has not been announced to the whole world. It is only spread among top computer circles, but this is indeed shocking.
After arranging things in Xiangjiang, Bao Zixuan returned to the United States again. In fact, he was a little worried about Li Yulin. After all, he had spent too little time with his mother in the past few years. Li Yulin knew his son's worries, but he still had to deal with everything.
The overall situation is the most important thing. Only after Dr. Huang Chunqiu assured that there would be no problem, Bao Zixuan boarded the plane to the United States.
In January 1980, Bao Zixuan returned to MIT. This time he was away for a long time. The original plan was to leave for up to 2 months before returning, but due to Li Yulin's illness, he was away for 4 months this time.
After arriving at Harry Roland's office, he saw the old professor checking information in front of the computer. Seeing that it was Bao Zixuan coming over, he immediately put down the keyboard and said to him: "Boy, you're back so soon."
Bao Zixuan: "You always call me, how dare you not come over immediately, but how can I win the prize this time?"
Tomorrow he will go to New York to settle the gold and silver futures profits. Although he has notified Clay Clark on the phone to close his position, he is still a little worried. This is a business involving tens of billions of dollars, and no one dares to be careless.
Harry Rowland: "Actually, the jury has had this idea for a long time. After all, the Black Cloud office software and system software you wrote have reached a level that others cannot reach. In addition, the laptop computer you presided over the research and development has played an important role in computer promotion."
It plays a key role."
"The reason why you were not nominated before is because you are from Xiangjiang, and the most important thing is that you are not a computer science student. There is no precedent for allowing a scholar from other majors to win the highest award in the computer field. But the moment you choose to study computer science
This thing has ceased to exist since then, which is why you won the award. Also, your influence and achievements in the computer field have a very obvious advantage over other candidates, and these are the reasons why you won the award."
Bao Zixuan didn't expect this factor to exist. It seems that the relative fairness of American academics also depends on region and major. Turing is British and his main achievements were published in the United States, so this award will definitely take care of Europeans and Americans. And you are not a computer
It is also difficult to win awards for majors. It seems that there are many benefits to choosing to study computer science!
Bao Zixuan: "Then I still have to thank the professor for his guidance and support. Without you speaking for me, it would probably be difficult to win the award."
Harry Roland: "Fortunately, it's mainly because you are very strong. I'm just the icing on the cake."
In fact, just as Bao Zixuan expected, Harry Rowland really fought hard for Bao Zixuan to win the award. He convinced many well-known scholars and professors, laying a solid foundation for the final award.
Even in the key review process, Harry Rowland did not hesitate to offend other well-known professors and also helped Bao Zixuan fight for it. This is related to Bao Zixuan’s usual generous person and the reputation of the school. After all, in the Turing Award review process, the professors from MIT and Stanford
The competition can be said to be very fierce.
Bao Zixuan returned to the dormitory with the answer, but unfortunately only Joseph Kane was there, and everyone else was in class.
Joseph Kane: "Bao, I'm back. I've been away for a long time this time."
Bao Zixuan: "How have you been lately? What are your plans after graduation?"
Joseph Kane: "I'm going to set up a software company myself, mainly to do software outsourcing tasks. I'm going to start everything from scratch, and I've also found a few former classmates to join me."
Bao Zixuan: "That's a good thing! If you need funds, you can come to me. I can be your venture capitalist."
Joseph Kane: "With your words, I feel relieved. When the funds are insufficient, I will definitely find you, a rich man."
In fact, after hearing what Joseph Kane said, Bao Zixuan also knew that they were leaving. Even he himself was leaving MIT, or that his days at the school would be fewer and fewer in the future. Everyone should work hard.
, there is not much time left to study. This is reality, everyone has his own path to take. Even I have to think about the development strategy of the company after leaving the United States. After all, I have chosen a difficult path.
No one can help you when walking, and all achievements must be made by yourself. Moreover, the development of the United States in the 1980s can only be regarded as average. It will not develop rapidly until the rise of the Internet in the 1990s. RB will be the next step of Bao Zixuan.
A goal.
