From the perspective of future generations, the "resistance" between Professor Chen Tianming and Ye Maosheng and others is ridiculous.

But the position of the Chinese people in 1981 was roughly like this. After all, they had never seen the academic exchange model of "corporate sponsorship", and there was no string in their minds that "whoever pays for it determines the talent standard".

All the public-funded students they met before were paid by the state, and they paid attention to fairness and openness.

On the other hand, Stanford blames them for not giving them the perspective of God.

How much money Schulhoff promised to Stanford is a matter between Tiankun and Stanford.

Stanford also wants to save face and doesn’t want to make it too clear when working with Zhejiang University.

Therefore, many professors from Zhejiang University only know that there are sponsors behind this matter, but they don’t know how much the money is. They thought that at most it was just as much as the normal tuition fee.

The group even secretly informed the news, alarming the relevant comrades of the Provincial Department of Education and Foreign Affairs. A bunch of people came to the school and interrupted the news with the name of "understanding the situation and helping to coordinate foreign affairs work."

Dean Zhu was dizzy by their "big righteousness" and could not withstand the pressure. He ran to the exhibition hotel where the foreign guests stayed overnight. He used his poor English speaking to secretly discuss with Stanford's representative, Professor Radmond.

"Professor Radmond, you see, we also want to provide the best talents for your school. In fact, a surprise test without notifying the scope of the exam in advance does not reflect the true level of students. How about you consider other comprehensive assessment factors?"

Professor Radmond directly pushed it completely: "Director Zhu, this is a third-party commissioned project. I did not participate in the previous domestic negotiations in the United States.

I just follow the instructions of President Perry to come to China to sign an agreement with you and supervise the implementation. If you have any questions, you can find President Schulhof, and I will give up."

Only then did President Zhu truly realize Shurhof's energy and had to look for it again.

Fortunately, I live next door, which is very convenient.

After hearing this, Shurhof did not embarrass Dean Zhu directly, but instead said it more tactfully, but the meaning was the same: "Zhu, we are certainly welcomed by better talents. But more important talents must be combined with the current cutting-edge industries in Silicon Valley."

The reason why he said it so tactfully is that Schulhof is a person who understands Eastern culture very well and does not go straight to history. When he was the president of Sony America, he was known for his ability to deal with Eastern people as vainly as he did, and would not be so arrogant.

Even when Akio Morita wanted to acquire Columbia Pictures in 1988, Sony had calculated that it was really too much of a loss. Columbia was asking for a huge price and should have stopped the acquisition.

But just because Akio Morita was drunk while drinking his homemade "Kirisong" sake while having a banquet with other executives, she lamented: How much I want Japanese culture to be introduced into Hollywood and own a top Hollywood film company.

Then Schulhof understood in a second, and bought Columbia Pictures, which had a market price of $11 per share, at a premium of $27, spent more than $6 billion in Sony, and eventually lost a huge loss. And called the deal "a gift to Chairman Zhaofu."

In contrast, look at Shulhoff's predecessor, Sony America's first American president, Harvey Shain, is a typical American straightforward style. Not only did he dare to argue against Akio Morita's decision to push the betamax video recorder standards, he even dared to insult his younger brother Masaaki Morita in public on the board of directors. The trouble made Akio Morita's psychological shadow, and after he fired Harvey Shain, he did not dare to use Americans as president for many years.

"So there are also donations for scientific research funds? Are they all bound?"

This is the first time that Professor Chen Tianming from the opposition to Deputy Director Liang of the Education Department, Director Chu of the Foreign Affairs Department has heard of this price.

Professor Chen originally wanted to add his favorite disciple, but now his face was ashamed.

Shurhof did not give a breath, and gave a sweet date just right: "Of course, we also considered the difficulties brought about by hasty selection. I believe that your starting point is good, and I want to provide the best students for this commissioned project.

So after we compromised, we decided to make the following adjustments: starting next year, we will send the enrollment selection outline to your school one year in advance. Students who are interested in participating in the selection can be trained in a targeted manner according to this skill standard.

In addition, in order to give this class a chance, our selection scope in the next two years can be relaxed to your school’s first-year graduate students. As long as their performance is good enough and can create more results for the commissioned company, this model may expand in the future. As for the list of this class, it is decided, there is nothing to say!"

I heard that it was related to the increase or decrease in the number of exchanges in the future, and all doubters immediately fell silent.

Finally, President Qian Sanqiang, who rushed back to Qiantang from Beijing, asked in person: "Mr. Schulhof, other departments of science and engineering at our Zhejiang University also have many strengths. Don't you consider your company's projects?"

(Note: Qian Sanqiang was a deputy director of the National Association for Science and Technology at that time and was in Beijing all year round. The president of Zhejiang University only worked part-time, and the executive vice president was also in charge of the work.)

Schulhoff gritted his teeth and remembered the explanation he had when he called his boss yesterday.

Principal Qian is someone you cannot offend. People flew from the capital, so they must be given this face.

An old scientist who has participated in the two bombs and one satellite and has worked as a deputy department of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, his face is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. He can never make a mistake in selling personal favors.

"Next year. If this year's performance is good, we promise to sponsor at least one quota to other departments from next year. As for what majors are needed and how to select them, we will notify at least one semester in advance." Schulhof said.

Mr. Qian nodded with relief and ordered the executive vice president next to him: "Xiao Yang, it's rare to have an opportunity. Follow this matter and strive to expand the scale."

"Okay principal."

If you say this, even if it is a foregone conclusion, others will definitely not be able to make trouble again.

...

"Professor Chen, what's going on? Is there any hope?" Ye Maosheng waited for Professor Chen Tianming to come out and hurriedly greeted him.

He is the one who Professor Chen Tianming appreciates the most among all the students in the 77th grade, otherwise he would not have given up his old face and fought for him.

"Principal Qian personally spoke, and this matter is decided. Follow me to study for graduate school and strive for opportunities next year. If you are willing to follow Yang Zihao and others to adjust your research direction. People say that people who have admitted to graduate school in the year will go." Professor Chen sighed helplessly.

The same scene gradually spreads on campus.

Several thorns who originally thought they were quite hopeful, but heard that the principal flew back from the capital and discussed with the Americans, and he was determined and immediately became silent.

Then I entered the real fragrance mode and began to inquire about the new academic selection criteria for Americans.
