Reborn I want everything

Chapter 140 Don't care who the winner is, just mess up porn first
For ordinary freshmen, there are quite a lot of procedures to be busy on the registration day.

But Gu Zhe was an exception, so on the first day he met Professor Bushwell, who was going to take him with him in the future, and became acquainted with him.

There were also very few freshmen who registered that day, because most of them were enrolled in the fall semester, which is rare for Gu Zhe.

Professor Bushwell was a middle-aged man of about forty, young considering his rank.

There are not so many rules for new professors. Professor Bushwell is still the type who has a little relationship with Silicon Valley technology companies, so he is more easily persuaded by secular interests.

After having an afternoon tea together, the professor asked Gu Zhe to come back after the May Day holiday and have a good talk about the opening of the topic, and try to get it done in the summer semester.

For general postgraduate study, if it is a three-year program, if you spend the first year taking some cutting-edge courses and doing a good job in scientific research, it is basically considered quite satisfactory.

At Stanford, each academic year is a three-semester system, and this rhythm will be split into cutting-edge courses in the first semester and the fall semester.

In the spring semester, read the review, understand the latest industry status and pain points, and start writing the opening report.
Complete the defense of the opening report in the summer, and if there are any questions, you have to call back to revise and fine-tune the research direction planned for the follow-up.

If it is a two-year master's degree, the rhythm of opening the topic will also be compressed. Generally, it is required to complete it in the autumn and spring semesters, and the real new research has already begun in the summer semester.

Gu Zhe came late. He just enrolled in the last semester of the three semesters of this school year. The professor asked him to take advantage of the last two and a half months to three months before the summer vacation to finish all the work of the first school year. , everyone saves trouble.

This is actually nothing to Gu Zhe, because he already knows the frontier status quo of the industry very well. He is a person who has returned from the industry, and his knowledge of industry, education and research is highly integrated.

He himself is the one who writes reviews to lead the pace of industry research, and he also reads other people's reviews. The path in his heart is very clear, and he can just get started.

Skip the research, write the opening report directly, and reply directly.

……

In the next ten days, after the May Day holiday, Gu Zhe got acquainted with other senior students who were hanging out with Professor Bushwell, and inquired about what other people were studying.

Tang Yan, who received him during the orientation, was only in the same department as Gu Zhe, but he was not brought by Professor Bushwell.

There is no way, mainly because there are relatively few Chinese graduate students in the School of Physical Sciences.Tang Yan was the only one who exchanged with Gu Zhe in Donghai University in recent years.

So, among the seniors brought by Professor Bushwell, there are a total of more than a dozen people, including masters and doctorates, except for Gu Zhe, there is only one Asian, and he has a fucking plastic face.

Gu Zhe also accepted the idea of ​​forming cliques among the seniors and sisters to cultivate influence.

May 5, another Monday.With the arrival of a new week, Gu Zhe finally took out his draft proposal for the first time, and had a detailed discussion with Professor Bushwell.

In fact, this plan was not written by him on the spur of the moment, but several copies were prepared before going abroad, which are all the research and development directions that Tianyuan Technology is currently laying out.

It's nothing more than after you come here, and then see what the people around you are studying. Gu Zhe had better choose one from his pre-made plan that is not as out of place as possible compared with his classmates, and send it up.

"You want to engage in research in the field of ionized film deposition? You are a bit biased. Since you want to do this, why did you report our materials when you reported the direction?"

Professor Bushwell is quite easy to talk to. After a general look, although he is not satisfied, it is not impossible to discuss.

Of course, Gu Zhe couldn't tell him directly, "Because the prize I'm going to win in the future is the Nobel Prize in Physics, not the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. If the academic degree is in material science, it will be embarrassing for both parties."

So he could only say: "No way, this direction is related to my company's business goals. The topics I do must combine industry, education and research. I heard that Stanford University is the best in this area in the world, so I came here to study for graduate school." .

In addition, I think that although the material preparation research of the film deposition method is biased towards materials, many underlying material properties and principles can be analyzed during the research process, which may promote theoretical progress and revise theoretical expectations. "

At that time, most of the research on material physics was "to summarize the expected characteristics based on the current theoretical research, and then to develop materials",
But there are also extremely rare cases where "a new material with completely unexpected properties is accidentally developed, and then the previous theoretical understanding of physics is slightly overturned in a small corner."

The graphene that Gu Zhe wanted to develop played such a role back then.This thing is valuable, not just because of its commercial prospects-although the commercial prospects are indeed great.But the most important thing is that according to the previous basic physical theory, it is not believed that pure two-dimensional planar materials with a single layer of atomic thickness can exist in this world.

The existence of this kind of thing is even contrary to some cutting-edge quantum field theory and quantum mechanics research conclusions at that time.In the end, graphene slapped the original theory with its real existence, and theoretical physicists only made up for it after slightly trimming and fine-tuning the theory.

(Note: The existence of graphene violates the previous theoretical and physical theories. I will not go into details. I am too lazy to study so many English papers. No readers will be interested even if I write them out. This book You can also see that the book is speeding up the progress of the plot, filling in the holes dug before, and going through it quickly, there are no words.)
Of course, Gu Zhe definitely wouldn't study graphene directly while he was in graduate school, otherwise the results might be shared by Professor Bushwell.

Therefore, what Gu Zhe wants to do is to study other ionized film deposition methods, which are related to the PLGA/PVA composite material he is doing in Mingyuan International.

Fortunately, he left a few footprints in the academic world, which proves that he "studied materials by ionization film deposition method when he was studying in graduate school". Later, when he used copper ion film and methane vapor to deposit graphene adsorbed on the surface of copper film, he appeared It's not "chuck luck by accident".

Professor Bushwell pondered for a long time, feeling that Gu Zhe must have other ideas, but he didn't bother to worry too much, because Gu Zhe quickly saw enough benefits for him.

In front of him, Gu Zhe sincerely took out several draft papers. Obviously, Gu Zhe had already prepared them before he went abroad, but he didn't submit them.

These papers were all made by the laboratories under Tianyuan Technology.If some strictly follow the academic norms, Gu Zhe should hang up the newsletter (if he wants to hang up), Li Yiran should do the first and second works, and then hang up a master's degree.

However, Gu Zhe himself is proficient in relevant scientific research and legal affairs, so he will definitely not leave any flaws. He has made everything clear, and the benefits that should be given are absolutely unambiguous.

In addition, when Gu Zhe hired Li Yiran, he saw that she was someone who didn't care much about worldly affairs and sophistication, so he wanted to make a good living and devote himself to academic research.Gu Zhe then promised to purchase more equipment for the laboratory so that Li Yiran could tinker with his own preferences in the future, and the other party showed no resistance.

Anyway, these topics were chosen by Gu Zhe, and Li Yiran didn't have much affection for the topics themselves.

Professor Bushwell is also a knowledgeable person, and he soon realized how well-prepared Gu Zhe was.Gu Zhe also struck while the iron was hot and said:

"You agree with my topic selection, and these few articles are the results of your work with me. I have published a lot of CM/JMC level articles before, and there are seven or eight articles in total.

It's just that this time I want to transfer to the material field, and I may need to get acquainted with the editors and reviewers again.But I believe that when my contributor's unit changes from 'Tunghai University' to 'Stanford University', the work efficiency and emphasis of editorial staff will also increase accordingly.

If it is submitted this month, before the start of the new school year in September, these early preliminary papers can be published.It should be no problem to use these to review the status quo of the industry and determine the direction of the topic. "

Professor Bushwell thought for a long time, but finally did not object.

However, Gu Zhe didn't intend to let the professor go so soon. For him, the work of dragging the professor down had just begun.

After returning home, Gu Zhe spent a few days sorting out the thesis and making preparations before delivery, and let the professor relax a little bit, and accept the new postgraduate's work style psychologically.

At the same time, the few researchers that Gu Zhe originally transferred from China, mainly Li Yiran, Jin Can and other doctoral test dogs, also flew to the United States one after another, and came to California's Silicon Valley.

The laboratory site of Gu Zhe's new company Tianyuan Technology (US) in Silicon Valley has also gradually begun to rectify and purchase additional equipment, and everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

This Friday, May 5th, Gu Zhe found Professor Bushwell again and asked him to correct the article one last time, and then took out a card just right.

Professor Bushwell was taken aback. It was a psychological burden for him to accept a Cadillac from his students (although the property rights of the car still belonged to the technology company that Gu Zhe had just started, it was only lent to the professor to drive it, so that the professor could guide the technology company daily work)
How can I get the money directly?

But Gu Zhe told him: "Professor, don't think too much, it's nothing else, it's just an introduction fee—that's right, my new company here in Silicon Valley has just started, and the current researchers are mainly flying over from China. Yes, I also want to expand the team locally.

I need your help to introduce some candidates. At least when I approach the door, I can prove to the other party that "Professor Bushwell recommended you to us", so that the other party will not think that we are a leather bag company. "

This is a perfectly reasonable and legitimate request, and the professor should be rewarded for it.After struggling for a while, the professor accepted the first introduction fee of tens of thousands of dollars.

"I'll help you find candidates slowly and match them up." The professor took care of everything very shamelessly.

Gu Zhe: "Of course, I believe in your vision, but I already have a few promising candidates here, even from other countries, some European universities. I hope that when I send an invitation to the other party, I can borrow on your behalf, or by your invitation."

Professor Bushwell was taken aback, and for the time being, he didn't know what specific plans Gu Zhe had: "Who are you looking for? Are you in a related field? The United States is not enough for you? The other party will definitely be very cautious when recruiting people from across the country. You are not treated well enough." It is absolutely impossible for Youhou to succeed."

"Of course, I know, so I'm treated very well." Gu Zhe immediately confirmed his promise, and then took out a list.

Of course there are Andre Heim and Konstantin Novoselov in it, but it’s definitely not just these two people—Gu Zhe also needs face, he needs to cover up his real goal and real purpose, anyway, now It's not bad for a little money to make a game.

Therefore, on his list, there are a total of two professors and five newly graduated teaching assistants from the University of Manchester on the other side of the Atlantic.

Those two real targets were hidden in the seven-man roster, so they were inconspicuous.Moreover, everyone received corresponding treatment according to the previous research results and ranks, and there was no obvious preference for anyone.

"Andre Heim... I've met him at several academic conferences, but we haven't had much interaction, and we haven't chatted. This guy is quite funny, and he always does some whimsical and nonsensical research.

However, although the topic selection is nonsensical, the research process and attitude are still very rigorous, so this person is somewhat famous in the circle.You are a scientific research company with a high degree of commercialization, how could you fall in love with this kind of person?

This kind of person has a bad temper, and he has to be recruited quickly with money, unless it is several times higher than his current salary in Manchester-simple doubling is not enough, it is better to double and double to be more stable. "

Gu Zhe didn't change his face: "Then double it and double it, quadruple the salary."

Now Yin Guo is a professor of science and engineering at a non-first-class university, and a slightly poorer one is only [-] pounds a year (that is, universities other than Oxford and Cambridge, but not too bad. Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham, etc.)

If the major is a little more popular, the industry-university-research integration is close, and the personal performance is better, it will be worth [-] to [-] pounds.

Andre Heim's major is not very popular, but he is still well-known in the industry, and now his annual salary is estimated to be around [-] pounds.It's not that Gu Zhe can't afford to pay four times.

……

So, another week later, on Thursday, May 5th.

In Manchester on the other side of the ocean, Professor Andre Heim got an OFFER.

"Annual salary of $50? Join a technology company in Silicon Valley, and the exchange inviter is Professor Bushwell from Stanford? Can you provide regular opportunities and allowances for guest exchanges and academic conferences at Stanford?"

When they saw this invitation, it was impossible for Andre Heim and others to say that they were not tempted. After all, Stanford's brand is much louder than that of Manchester University.

Although Stanford will not hire him as a full-time professor, as an exchange visiting scholar, even if he is an exchange visiting scholar sponsored by a third-party company, he can still get a high salary in a third-party company, which is attractive enough.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable in the other party's invitation was that the other party had strict overtime requirements. It seemed that Americans were more passionate about striving than Europeans.But he is willing to double the overtime pay, which is also accepted.

In addition, the company’s requirements are definitely stricter than those of the university. It is required to strictly focus on the projects assigned by the company during the employment period. It is not allowed to use private time to conduct other personal research, and it is strictly forbidden to use the instruments and equipment in the laboratory to conduct research on one’s own interests.

However, for the sake of money, this is not insurmountable.
