Chapter 123 CAAS
"I agree with Zhongmou's point of view. The purpose of our association only needs to be to promote scientific and technological exchanges between American and Huaguo." In the end, it was Li Zhengdao who came out and made a decision.

"I also agree. It's no problem for Cheng Tong to cultivate the academic accomplishment of the juniors. Similar work can be led by Cheng Tong. We all want to participate."

After Li Zhengdao and Ding Zhaozhong spoke one after another, Qiu Chengtong did not express any objection.

It's good that he takes the lead to do this, and it's not a big problem if it's not included in the purpose.

Hu Zhengming picked up the agenda in his hand and continued:
"Then let's move on to the second item on today's agenda, the name of the organization, the Huamei Science and Technology Exchange Promotion Association, and the Huamei Science and Technology Exchange Association. These two names are just an effect of attracting jade."

Zhou Xinfu, in his opinion, these two names are not as good as Ming Xinhui.

"These two names put the focus on communication, which is actually not very good. Although our vision is this, our name is too straightforward." Qiu Chengtong said.

"I don't think the name of our organization should directly put the name of Huaguo on it," Zhou Xin said.

If it is called such a name, after 16 years, Chinese scientists and engineers who joined the organization will have an even higher risk of being investigated.

Everyone chose a lot of names, and finally Li Zhengdao said: "It's called American-Chinese Association for the Advancement of Science.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, around 1946, the Huaguo Science Promotion Association was jointly established by the South China Science Society and the China Natural Science Society.

Later, this association lost its voice, including AAAS, the American Association for the Advancement of Science in American.

Huaguo did not set up a similar organization, we can set up one ourselves.

It is called Chinese Association for the Advancement of Science, or CAAS for short.

As long as foreigners with Chinese descent are Chinese. "

After Li Zhengdao said it, everyone else felt that there was no problem, and the only one who felt that there was a problem was Zhou Xin.

The problem I feel here is that there will be a problem after 16 years. Zhou Xin is unlikely to directly say that he can predict the future. With this name, when I return to China, you are still in American. You can’t even guarantee your personal safety.

Zhou Xin couldn't think of any reason to refute. He could only keep this matter in his heart and remind everyone when the situation changed.

Hu Zhengming said: "If there is no objection, let's call it CAAS."

Qiu Chengtong added: "Yes, after our organization is established, we need to tell the mainland and Wanwan to let them set up a scientific research organization later, and don't use the same name as us."

Hu Zhengming continued: "Then there is the third item. At the beginning, we hoped to invite only sufficiently good science and engineering scholars and engineers, and build an elite group against the [-]-person meeting.

But later, both Mr. Li and Mr. Ding expressed clear opposition to this.

So we don't set a threshold now, as long as you are willing to pay the membership fee, you can join the registered membership. "

Li Zhengdao and Ding Zhaozhong believe that in order to promote academic exchanges between Huaguo and American and promote Huaguo's scientific progress, if we set such a high threshold, it will not be able to effectively promote Huaguo's scientific and technological progress.

Another very important reason is that if only the elites participate, Huaguo itself is currently relatively behind the mainstream developed countries in the academic field, so it is more likely to cause the phenomenon of learning elites.

Even in a certain sense, joining their organization is equivalent to adding chips to the corresponding person to be a student.

Both Li Zhengdao and Ding Zhaozhong expressed strong opposition to this. At the same time, at this stage of the development of science and engineering, every researcher knows only a very narrow segment of his subdivision field.

If a high threshold is set, who will judge whether the other party is good enough in the academic field?

The two of them believed that there should be no threshold, as long as they are Chinese and interested in science, they can join the association, because membership fees must be paid, and only Chinese people who are really interested in science will join.

"At the same time, after a member joins, we can conduct a scoring system based on his academic contributions and contributions to CAAS.

For example, if you publish a paper in the corresponding journal, how many points will be added, and then you will be evaluated as a tenured professor of American, how many points will be added.

If you have won certain scientific awards and engineer awards, how many points will be added.

Or how many points will be added for contributing to the promotion of Huaguo's scientific and technological progress.

The score determines the level, the higher the level, it's just the honor level.

As for the contribution to CAAS, such as how much money was donated, how many points were added, how many rounds of academic lectures were held in the association, and how many points were added.

I intend to do this after preliminary communication with you, but the specific points and rules. After we finalize the framework, we will formulate the rules and give you review. "

"How do you feel?" Hu Zhengming and Zhou Xin asked when they were eating alone at night.

Zhou Xin said: "Fortunately, Mr. Li Zhengdao and Mr. Ding Zhaozhong are both so old, their thinking is still so clear, and they have their own persistence in many things.

Worthy of being a master-level character. "

Hu Zhengming: "Scientists in science and engineering, as long as they don't start their own businesses, are almost all relatively simple and have idealism.

Don't look at me, although I started a business, but my business is a small business, I am still very simple.

We are all Chinese, so we naturally hope that the Chinese can have more voices in the field of science and technology, and hope to promote the scientific and technological progress of China. "

Even without CAAS, Li Zhengdao, Ding Zhaozhong, and Qiu Chengtong all supported the scientific development of Huaguo by returning to Huaguo to give lectures, setting up a special mathematics center in Shuimu, and donating money.

Take Li Zhengdao as an example. In 1997, he donated 30 US dollars to establish the Qin Huiju and Li Zhengdao Chinese College Student Training Fund.

Li Zhengdao donated 98 U.S. dollars for the flood in 03, and 99 U.S. dollars for SARS in [-]. He even donated money to the families of journalists who died when the embassy was bombed in [-].

Of course, apart from Zhang Zhongmou, Zhang Zhongmou deliberately asked Hu Zhengming to call him to participate purely because Zhou Xin wanted to poach TSMC.

Let's put it this way: After the WTO, TSMC is the least invested in the mainland among the major semiconductor manufacturers.Intel and Samsung have much more production capacity in China than TSMC.

42% of Samsung's dram production capacity is located in mainland China, and Intel still wants to expand the Shudu plant after Huawei was banned from buying chips.

As for why they have the confidence to tap TSMC’s corner, because at the stage from the late 90s to the early 00s, TSMC’s attitude towards building factories in the mainland was divided. Zhang Rujing, Jiang Shangyi, and Liang Mengsong all left TSMC one after another.

When Zhou Xin communicated with Liang Mengsong before, he knew the inside story of what happened during this period. In his opinion, having him operate in the middle can make TSMC split even more.

If it weren't for the split of TSMC at that time, SMIC would not have been born.

"You also said today that CAAS will set up a magazine, which will be open to all Chinese. It seems that your purpose of making CAAS an elite association has been shattered." Hu Zhengming is happy to see his disciple deflated.

In his opinion, it is better to be frustrated in small things than in big things.

Zhou Xin didn't seem to care about it: "It's because my previous understanding was too shallow, but Mr. Ding and Mr. Li's ideas are more reasonable.

We need more bases to produce more elites. "

The establishment of CAAS was discussed for three days, and the main and most difficult thing was the rules.

Zhou Xin also successfully obtained what he wanted, one is the status of CAAS executive director and board member, and the other is that he came to set up a company to be responsible for the construction of the CAAS membership system.

CAAS is open to all Chinese. As long as you want to join, you can apply. After the application, fill in your own information and registration status, and then pay the membership fee regularly.

Zhou Xinhui will set the payment of membership dues to be paid through NewPay. They are currently only targeting Chinese in the American area. Chinese in other countries can join if they want to join in American.

After the Chinese joined, the information he filled in was all entered through the system built by Zhou Xin.

In the follow-up honor system, members need to add points when they complete honors, and they also enter data through their membership system.

After the data is entered, for example, the member publishes a paper in a certain journal, and then uploads the information, the reviewers will verify the authenticity.

Points will be added only after the verification is correct.

As for holding lectures or even a series of courses for CAAS internal members, these will be verified by someone specially.

Zhou Xin can grasp the development of each member in real time. If a member's score suddenly increases by a large amount, then he must have made an outstanding contribution in a certain field.

Zhou Xin can directly see the change of each person's honor score from the database, and can know in real time which field the other party is an expert in and what contribution he has made.

It is equivalent to mastering the research progress of every Chinese scientist and engineer.

In order to keep everyone motivated, Zhou Xin intends to set a corresponding level. After reaching a certain level, honor medals will be issued, similar to the medals for 10 fans and 100 million fans at station b.

It's just that the level of CAAS has more subdivisions, and then there will be corresponding rewards. For the highest level, Zhou Xin intends to award pure gold medals.

Holding a huge amount of money is so inhumane.

The establishment of an organization in American requires the selection of the type of organization based on the purpose and mode of operation of the organization. CAAS is obviously a non-profit organization.

Then there is the name of the organization and the state government where they are located. They chose California, which has the most resources of all kinds.

If the establishment is a non-profit organization, it also needs to apply for a tax ID number from the federal government.

Prepare documents including articles of association, registration application forms, board resolutions, etc., submit the prepared documents to the state government and pay relevant fees.

Finally, approval is obtained and the state government issues a certificate of organization establishment.

The entire series of processes will take at least three months.

After the discussion, Zhou Xin was responsible for recruiting people to operate CAAS, including setting up the system, organizing applications, and establishing an official website.

　Procrastination committed. . .
