Hearing this, Mr. Xiang couldn't help but fell silent.

As a politician, even though he has retired, Mr. Xiang still has some prejudices against the inland.

Of course, this kind of prejudice is just a matter of personal stance and has nothing to do with anything else. He will not be prejudiced against inland students because of his personal political stance.

In recent years, the bilateral relations between the Bay and the mainland have begun to ease to a certain extent, and some obvious signals have indicated that the tense confrontation between the two sides in the early days will change in the future.

The attitude shown after the inland political power was stabilized gradually loosened the string that had been tight in the Bayan area.

Now Wanwan is no longer the era of old Chiang Kai-shek. Ever since the inland mass murder weapon was developed, the Jiang family's dream has also been shattered.

From the fact that Yang Chen is now able to invest in both the Bay and the Inland without any influence, Mr. Xiang can guess the general meaning.

To say that the Bay Area or the mainland would go easy on Yang Chen because he is the richest man and needs his investment. In Mr. Xiang's view, this is simply a joke.

Regardless of whether it is Bayan or inland, their economy will not develop because of the lack of investment from Yang Chen.

In the 1970s, the greater Yang Chen's influence, the greater the restrictions placed on him by the Bay and the Mainland. The more antagonistic the two sides were, the more tense the relationship, the less allowed they were to have sand in their eyes.

Therefore, in Mr. Xiang's view, Yang Chen was born in a good era. The older generation of Chinese-funded bosses in Xiangjiang did not have such courage.

After a while, Mr. Xiang slowly opened his mouth and said: "The way I see it, there are 1,000 quotas for Bay Bay, 1,000 quotas for inland areas, and 1,000 quotas for Xiangjiang and other places. Let's average it out. What do you think?

"

After listening to Mr. Xiang's allocation, Yang Chen thought about it and felt that the current allocation method was obviously better than the previous two people's suggestions. Although he never liked to think about politics, sometimes he couldn't avoid these things.

Looking at Mr. Xiang's dull eyes, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and finally understood the meaning of the phrase 'having an old man in a family is like having a treasure'.

Sometimes the ideas of old people may not necessarily be the best, but they are definitely the most effective.

Yang Chen nodded, expressing his agreement with Xiang Lao's proposal.

Regarding the matter of recruiting international students from the mainland, Mr. Xiang said that he could not interfere in the matter. The martial law on both sides has not yet been lifted. Naturally, as a former senior official of the Kuomintang, he could not go to the mainland in person.

Yang Chen suggested: "I think it is most appropriate to let Mr. Xiang go and let him represent you. I will also say hello to the inland people in advance. I believe they will not refuse."

Mr. Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, let Wu Yi go on my behalf."

Next, Yang Chen discussed with several people the tuition fees for international students. According to Yang Chen's wishes, in order to recruit as many outstanding international students as possible and prevent students from poor families from being unable to study abroad, Xincheng University established a scholarship fund.

The scholarship fund is open to all Newcastle University students. Regardless of whether your family has money or has no money, as long as you are a Newcastle University student, you can apply.

The scholarship fund provides all students who apply for all expenses during school, such as tuition fees, living expenses and other necessary expenses.

In other words, as long as students are admitted to Metro University, they can complete their university studies by applying for scholarship funds.

Of course, the money from the student aid fund is not given away in vain. In the future, all international students will face two choices after completing their studies.

The first is to work for Yang Chen. If you have worked in any of his companies for five years or more, your scholarship fund fees during school can be exempted.

The second is that you will not work for them, but you must repay the student aid fees you applied for from the student aid fund while you were in school.

After listening to this, Mr. Xiang said excitedly: "Xiao Yang, I think this idea is good and very necessary. The scholarship fund will be a great boon to those students who want to study abroad.

It’s a financial burden for many students.”

Yang Chen reminded: "This scholarship fund is managed by the school, but I will send someone to supervise it. I hope that every penny of it can fall into the hands of students, and every account must be remembered clearly..."

Regarding Yang Chen's reminder and request, Mr. Xiang did not have any dissatisfaction. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to manage the scholarship fund. The Xiang family will not interfere. Not only will you send someone to supervise, but I will also keep an eye on the old man."

We will never tolerate anyone trying to get even half a cent, and the school will remember every account clearly."

"The midnight snack is ready. Let's eat something first and then talk!"

"Let's go over and chat while we eat."

"Bring the wine with you. Xiao Yang, you can have a drink with me later."

…

At the table, Yang Chen once again mentioned the idea of ​​building Xincheng into an innovative and modern city. At this time, the Xiang family, his son and others finally understood how important Yang Chen regarded Xincheng University.

It can be said that this is a pioneering work.

An initiative that no country has attempted so far.

At least this is the case in Asia. No one dares to even think about it, let alone try it.

Now everyone understands why Yang Chen must build the new city according to the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes. There is no culture at all in a modern industrial city.

Most of those cities with rich artistic and cultural atmosphere are left over from history and are not created at all later.

Okay, that, No Pants Day in the West, should be regarded as a major innovation in the 21st century in the West...

"Xiao Yang, that Mr. Yao you mentioned to me last time, I have asked our boss to invite him over."

"Mr. Yao?"

Yang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't remember who Mr. Yao was in Mr. Xiang's mouth.

Xiang Wuyi on the side reminded: "Yao Qi knows Professor Yao, the computer that Mr. Yang mentioned last time, which Professor Yao is now a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University..."

Yao Qizhi

Hi people

Born in 1946

In 1967, he received a bachelor's degree in physics from Bayan University. He then went to study in the United States and entered the most famous Harvard University in the United States, where he studied under Glashow (1979 Nobel Prize winner in physics).

In 1972, he received a doctorate in physics from Harvard University in the United States. The following year, at the age of 26, Yao Qizhi gave up his major in physics and turned to the computer technology that was emerging in the United States at that time.

In order to learn computer technology, Yao Qizhi turned to the University of Illinois to pursue a doctorate in computer science.

In just two years, this physics master obtained a doctorate in computer science from the University of Illinois in the United States.

In September of the same year, this dual-disciplinary Ph.D. entered the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an assistant professor. The following year, he entered the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University as an assistant professor.

Until 1981, Yao Qizhi became a professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley.

At the age of only thirty-five, he was promoted to professor, which caused quite a stir in the academic circles a few years ago.

When Xincheng University was being built, Yang Chen specially asked someone to collect a list of Chinese teachers from prestigious overseas universities.

Among them, Yao Qizhi is one of his favorite talents.

Being able to study computer science after getting a Ph.D. in physics, his decisiveness and foresight alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If it weren't for Yang Chen's high positioning of Xincheng University, he would really want to give him the position of professor at Xincheng University.

Now that he heard that the other person had been invited over, Yang Chen couldn't help but ask: "Which Professor Yao has agreed to come to Xincheng University?"

Mr. Xiang glanced at his eldest son. Seeing this, Xiang Wuyi said, "I agree, but Professor Yao put forward a condition."

"What conditions?" Yang Chen asked curiously. He didn't care much about the conditions or unconditional conditions. It's hard to hire a talented person. It's normal to ask for conditions. It would be strange if there were no conditions.

After all, he works at a prestigious university, so even if he changes jobs, he shouldn't come here.

Xiang Wuyi said: "Professor Yao wants the school to agree to build a state-of-the-art R&D and teaching computer center at Xincheng University."

"That's it?" Yang Chen asked doubtfully, "Is there nothing else?"

"Um" Xiang Wuyi didn't expect Yang Chen to react like this. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally said: "On this condition, what Professor Yao mainly requires is the latest complete set of computer equipment, which contains too many things, not only

teaching, and at the same time, it can also have research and development capabilities. Some equipment is not only expensive, but also difficult to import.”

When Yang Chen heard this, he waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter if it's expensive. I said before, everything at Xincheng University must be the best, whether it's teachers or teaching equipment, don't be afraid of spending money."

"Computer science is a major that Xincheng University needs to pay attention to. It is normal to establish a research and development teaching center. To apply what you learn, the school must not only impart knowledge to students, but also teach them how to use the knowledge they have learned."

"Personal computers are becoming more and more popular in the United States now. If our school can develop a better personal computer than Apple, that is definitely a good thing. I said before what the purpose of Metropolis University was.

I will not reduce my investment in Xincheng University, but if the school wants more funds, recruits more outstanding teachers, and recruits more outstanding students, then it must create value."

"School laboratories are not only used for teaching, but also for researching things and creating real objects, valuable real objects."

"When it comes to equipment issues, Mr. Xiang, please make a list for me. Whether it is equipment needed for computers or other laboratories in the school, as long as it is needed by our teachers at Xincheng University, we will use the best."

After saying that, Yang Chen thought for a while and said: "I think so, let Professor Yao be the director of the Department of Computer Science. You can ask him to ask for whatever he needs. I will satisfy him.

Study whatever you want to study.”

"However, I hope Mr. Xiang will convey this to Professor Yao, and also to all teachers, that Xincheng University is a private school, and I want to run it well, and I am willing to provide everyone with everything they need."

"However, the premise is that everyone can help my companies develop better and better. The future is an era of innovation. Most of the real things and practical objects will come out of the laboratory."

"So, I hope that while doing academic research, you can also use your research results to benefit the progress of human life..."

Regarding Yang Chen's words, the Xiang family's father and daughter didn't know what to say. Such naked words made people feel a little uncomfortable after hearing them.

Especially the three Xiang brothers, they are all mathematicians. It is too difficult for them to do research, conduct experiments, and come up with practical things.

As we all know, when mathematicians study mathematics, they do not need to consider whether it is related to reality at all.

When there are a few mathematicians doing abstract mathematics research, we can also list many "by-products" of pure mathematics in applications, but most mathematicians have other purposes for engaging in related research.

Paying too much attention to practical value is not conducive to making major breakthroughs for mathematicians.

What mathematicians hope is to meet challenges and be happy to enjoy the fun of making achievements in the spiritual world, rather than the actual objects that appear in people's eyes or be used in people's lives.

Yes, many people think so.

However, individuals have different opinions.
