Chapter 236 Someone's sky is about to collapse

What bad thoughts can young people have?
Think about it, the vast majority of ordinary working people in the new city of the West Region can also spend a few dozen yuan to get an expert account, and no longer have to worry about not being able to afford the ambulance fee;
You only need to take out 20% of your income to meet your monthly living needs. You can enjoy a convenient and fast public transportation system without needing a private car;
A convenient and fast two-wheeled electric vehicle can shuttle through the streets and alleys, and use a cashless payment system to rectify all kinds of petty thefts;
Basic livelihood prices will be guaranteed. Brush lunch loans into the historical garbage dump, and replace them with the nutrition improvement plan for compulsory education students;
There are more free public toilets, and it is prohibited to scatter in the subway... I think ordinary people should prefer this new city with a new vitality.
As for those capitalists... this has nothing to do with him. The only thing Qiao Yu wants to have something to do with these big guys is to share wealth and wealth.
In fact, from the perspective of Chinese people, any grand narrative cannot be separated from the daily life of ordinary people.
Or the daily life of ordinary people is the true deconstruction of all grand narratives.
So the most important thing is that which side is the projection of collective consciousness of ordinary people. In other words, the final fusion is the assimilation of unconfident and confident.
Obviously, the opposite side is no longer so confident.
Otherwise, I wouldn't beg for a visit.
So although Qiao Yu said a lot of words he didn't believe very much, he did not have any psychological burden.
He has been tricked from high-tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc.... Well, no, can the money he earns be transferred to ordinary Americans?
The answer is obviously no.
This large amount of money eventually fell into the hands of those capitalists and turned into a bunch of cold numbers on the account.
So it would be better for him to get it first, which might reduce resistance to the integration brought by future cultural confidence. From this point of view, Qiao Yu feels that he is doing good deeds.
In order to make the vast majority of people in the world live a good life quickly, he is not understood and even bears some infamy, Qiao Yu thinks it is acceptable.
Even Qiao Yu was moved by himself and felt that he had made such a huge sacrifice. If he did not bring in some private goods, his moral standards would be too noble.
After all, he doesn't want to be a saint.
The most important thing is that those who work in technology are relatively simple. But Qiao Yu feels that when John Martinis reports like this, the management feels that their conditions are too simple and may not be adaptable.
After all, Qiao Yu felt that the impression that he gave people was not that kind of person who was particularly easy to talk to.
So when John Martinis decided to temporarily end this historic call, Qiao Yu added a small condition.
"John, I almost forgot to tell you that I have a small request."
After saying that, without giving John Martinis a chance to react, Qiao Yu continued, "You may not know yet, I have some displeasure with the University of California, Berkeley. So if Google really wants to work with me happily...

Well, it is best to publicly cancel or suspend a series of possible cooperation now and in the future before we officially reach a cooperation.”
“These are all small things…”
My mind was full of how to report the results of the negotiations with Qiao Yu to my leaders, and how to persuade senior Google executives to agree to Qiao Yu's request, John Martinis responded casually before he could react.
But soon he realized that this seemed no trivial.
After all, Google seems to have a lot of cooperation with Berkeley, including artificial intelligence, robot research, and many other fields.
Of course, Google mainly pays for it, asking Berkeley professors to do things with the research team. After all, Berkeley is still very well-known in the field of computers.
In theory, it is not a big problem for Google. There are still many powerful universities in the United States.
Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Massachusetts, Stanford...
As long as you are a funder, who will not cooperate with? Even if there are amazing talents at Berkeley, with Google's influence, those professors will naturally choose to change jobs.
Professors who can bring their own programs will welcome any university in the world with their hands.
The only problem is, if there is no reason, what did Google suddenly announce such news and make people at Berkeley think?
In addition, John Martinis really couldn't figure out how Berkeley provoked Qiao Yu. He had never heard of such a big gossip in the academic circle.
"Well... that, although this is indeed not a big deal, there must be a reason. After all, the company is in the spirit of contract. We cannot terminate the cooperation without reason, and immediately suspend or cancel all previous cooperation.

John Martinis said in embarrassment.
Qiao Yu just smiled and replied: "It's okay, Professor John. Anyway, you have to report my thoughts to the above. You only need to tell me this condition with the conditions just now.
As for whether to accept it, it is considered above and has nothing to do with you. We Chinese call cooperation fate. If the upper class cannot agree with my conditions, it only means that our fate has not yet arrived."
A very euphemistic statement.
However, John Martinis already understood that this condition will not be a big deal, but a necessary condition for the two parties to reach cooperation.
"Can I ask? Dr. Joe, what's the displeasure between you and Berkeley? I think maybe there's a misunderstanding between this.
You know, I know a lot of people from Berkeley, professors and even members of the board of directors. Maybe I can help you communicate and resolve the misunderstandings."
John Martinis said this with good intentions, but Qiao Yu suddenly became difficult to communicate and said firmly: "No, no, no, no, no, no misunderstanding. John, I know you are a good person, but this matter has not been done. Need to discuss.
And it's not just Google, including Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Nvidia, etc... In short, as long as it proposes companies that want to cooperate with us in quantum simulation computing, I will make the same request.
If Google agrees to this condition, I am even willing to make some concessions in the forward stock option rewards. By the way, I am also promoting China University to cancel all cooperation with Berkeley.
I believe you will receive news from China soon, so you don’t have to persuade me anymore, it’s useless to persuade me. Of course, this is not your fault, or even Berkeley’s fault.
Okay, let's stop here today, you know, I have some other talks. Alas, the jet lag is really annoying. Goodbye, John."
"Wait, Dr. Qiao, there's something else."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"That's right. This year's Quantum Computing Industry Development Conference is planned to be held in South Korea. The conference organizing committee has sent you an invitation letter. Will you attend this conference?"
"I have no interest in this at all, and I don't have time, so I probably won't go. Goodbye."
"Oh, then goodbye, Dr. Joe." John Martinis had only time to respond, and the opposite side quickly hung up the video.
When he came back, the video was dark.
This important Google scientist sat there for a long time without coming back to his senses.
The little guy on the other side wants to mobilize the entire industry to boycott Berkeley! What kind of hatred is this to make a genius boy have such great resentment?
No matter how famous Berkeley is, no matter how strong it is, it cannot withstand such a play!
If this news spreads, there will be a lot fewer candidates applying for Berkeley.
For such a scientific research university, the professors in the most powerful major cannot get investment or start projects, which will definitely be devastating to cause a blow.
If Qiao Yu really had to play like this, it would probably be removed from the top universities in a few years.
The boss has left, who else can be left?
But what does it have to do with him?
As Qiao Yu said, he only needs to report to the above. As for whether he agrees with Qiao Yu's suggestions in the end, it is the issue that the boss needs to consider.
...
After calming down, John Martinis picked up the phone and dialed Thomas Curian directly.
The group's senior vice president and his direct boss had already explained to him that no matter what the result was, he must report it as soon as possible after the talks with Qiao Yu.
John Martinis could also feel the urgency of Thomas Curian. The phone was called and it was just ringing.
You should know that he called Thomas before, and it often took a long time to answer. This also made John Martinis suddenly feel a strange feeling.
Google executives are likely to agree to Qiao Yu's conditions.
Even in a sense, this practice does not conform to what he believes is business ethical constraints.
However, as soon as the phone was answered, the first question asked by the other side made him feel a little strange.
"Have you finished the talk? Did Qiao Yu agree to attend the quantum computing conference held in South Korea?"
"Yes, it has been discussed. He refused the matter of the conference and expressed his lack of interest."
After a moment of silence, the opponent continued to ask, "Okay, what are the suggestions for our cooperation?"
"He rejected our proposal because of some scientific research ethics and moral considerations, but Dr. Qiao felt that we could use another way of cooperation..."
Soon John Martinis briefly explained Joe Yu's idea.
"Well? Cooperation in theory? He is even willing to help us cultivate relevant talents?"
"Yes, it does not involve specific technologies, but he will train a group of talents who can understand the essence of their theory, and then cooperate with our engineers to do relevant research and development.
But he still has one condition. If his condition is not met, he will not recognize anything we discussed before. He will not cooperate with Google."
John Martinis said truthfully on the phone.
"Damn it! I hope this is not a requirement that is incomprehensible and impossible to achieve!"
"In fact, this requirement is indeed difficult to understand, but I don't think it's very difficult to achieve it."
"Oh? Damn it, don't keep it a secret, what exactly does he want?"
"He wants Google to suspend immediately and it is best to terminate all cooperation with Berkeley. At least during the technical cooperation with us, Google will not have any technical cooperation with Berkeley in any way."
"Ahem... that, are you sure you didn't misunderstand Qiao Yu's intentions, just ending your cooperation with Berkeley?"
"Yes, I'm very sure. He's very sure about this. He's even more than us, including other companies that want to work with, will make the same request. For this reason, he can even ask for less incentive options.
In addition, he has used his influence to make the Chinese academic community cancel various forms of cooperation with Berkeley. Don’t ask me why, I asked, but he refused to say it.”
Although John Martinis said this clearly, Thomas Curian still felt a little confused.
"So anyone at Berkeley offended Dr. Joe?"
"I just said that I don't know the reason, but this is the prerequisite. If you refuse, there is no need to talk about it."
After a full half-minute silence on the phone, John Martinis almost thought that Thomas was going to do something else before the voice came slowly.
"Okay, I understand. Have you made an appointment for the second meeting?"
"He added my number to the whitelist. If we have news here, we can contact him at any time during non-rest."
"So...Professor Martinis. Then you need to come to Alphabet headquarters now. I think Mr. Pichai will hope to listen to your report in person."
"Okay. Should I set out now?"
“Yes, right away.”
...
Qiao Yu was confident in taking his anger. That night, Qiao Yu talked about three companies, whether they were technical supervisors or senior management of the other party, they all made the same requests.
Money, stocks, incentive options and other benefits can be discussed, but there is no need to discuss the termination of cooperation between Berkeley.
There is only one prerequisite, which really puzzles many people. It quickly spread throughout the world and academic circles.
The International Mathematician Conference has only been two months ago, and the attention brought by the Fields Medal has not completely dissipated. Qiao Yu has just held a report meeting at Yanbei University, and the latest results have even directly affected the financial system.
stability.
It was when the world paid the most attention to this young scholar, and suddenly this news made a big splash in everyone's glasses.
Everyone began to inquire everywhere about what was going on. Which master Berkeley offended this rookie master in mathematics.
And if it is so big, it must be a deep hatred, so was it a professor at Berkeley who robbed Qiao Yu's achievements?
So someone began to ask the editors of major mathematics journals if a professor from Berkeley recently published a paper, and the research coincided with Qiao Yu...
As for the board of directors of Berkeley, it just felt like the sky had fallen!
