When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 262 Escape from freedom, education gap

As General Manager Hu's full-time secretary, Xie Shuhao's political acumen is not bad.

After all, without such ability, he would not be able to secure his position as the second-in-command full-time secretary.

Therefore, when Manager Hu met with Wang Donglai, he mentally raised his evaluation of Wang Donglai and went over Wang Donglai's detailed information. When chatting with Wang Donglai, his tone and attitude were quite kind.

After talking to Wang Dong about the official policies, Xie Shuhao asked casually: "Professor Wang, do you have any questions?"

This was originally just a simple polite word. Xie Shuhao didn't think Wang Donglai would really have any problems. After all, anyone with experience could tell that it was a polite word.

Unexpectedly.

After he finished asking, Wang Donglai said, "Secretary Xie, I really have a small problem here."

"I have a general understanding of the policies I just mentioned. I have another question here, that is, if I personally fund research, and then personally fund the construction of a research institute, purchase equipment, etc., will those preferential policies still exist?"

Wang Donglai was unwilling to say anything about such an important research project.

After just thinking for a few breaths, he said in a deep voice: "I can answer Professor Wang's question. The province attaches great importance to the development of the new energy industry. As long as it can be developed, it will be facilitated."

Xie Shuhao made this matter very clear in a few words.

"Specific preferential policies include halved land prices, taxation and other preferential conditions, and are not limited to transportation and supporting public facilities."

When leaving, Director Lu did not sit in his own bus, but sat in a car with Wang Donglai.

Director Lu kept looking at Wang Donglai on the road, as if he wanted to see something from Wang Donglai.

With that said, Xie Shuhao took out his mobile phone and exchanged contact information with Wang Donglai.

"If Professor Wang is determined to do this, he can discuss it with the leaders of Tangdu City and choose a suitable place to acquire the land."

Hearing what Xie Shuhao said, Wang Donglai felt quite satisfied and nodded.

"To be honest, Professor Wang, although Galaxy Technology is not the company with the highest market value in Qin Province, it is the Internet company with the greatest potential that the market agrees on."

Wang Donglai also returned to the office where he was waiting and saw Xu Songyao and Director Lu who were still waiting for him.

However, Wang Donglai has the ability to avoid this hidden danger, so naturally he will not sit back and watch this hidden danger arise.

"The employment environment is good. Promoting employment is only part of it. The most important thing is your company's achievements in technological innovation."

Not only this research institute, but later Wang Donglai will build more research institutes to conduct research.

From an academic point of view, as long as you are involved in the project, it is not a problem to select a few academicians, and publishing countless core papers is not a problem.

But after all, he is the general secretary of a province, and his abilities are quite good.

"Then I have no problem!" Wang Donglai said to Xie Shuhao with a smile.

"Professor Wang, you have met the general manager, and you should also know that the province and city will provide strong support to the new energy industry."

Not to mention the financial benefits.

Do it right at the beginning to avoid problems later.

He is an insider and knows some saving moves.

Among the five northwest provinces, Qin Province has the richest university resources, and the universities are concentrated in Tangdu.

Not only Tangdu Jiaotong University, but also Wang Donglai would not accept all the preferential terms offered by the province.

Xu Songyao did not ask about the content of the chat between Wang Donglai and Manager Hu, and his expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

Ever since he went to Jiaotong University in Tangdu to bring Wang Donglai, he had a slightly bold expectation in his heart.

Therefore, it is natural that this research institute should be placed in Tangdu City.

The emergence of a transformative technology will bring astronomical benefits to China, the world's most populous country.

Because he really never thought that Wang Donglai would ask this question.

"I shouldn't have said these words originally, but when I saw Professor Wang today, I felt very close to him, so I said more."

The three of them walked out of the provincial compound again.

"Let's go."

"The opinion of the provincial and municipal leaders on this is that we support self-funded research. As long as the research institute and research base are within the scope of Qin Province, regardless of whether they are in Tang Dynasty or not, they will enjoy preferential policies, and the research results will naturally be hundreds of thousands of dollars. 100% belongs to Professor Wang.”

"That's good. In that case, Tangdu City will contact Professor Wang to discuss this matter. If anything happens, Professor Wang can contact me!"

After exchanging contact information, Xie Shuhao and Wang Donglai chatted for a while and then left.

Xie Shuhao was stunned when he heard this question.

"What Professor Wang just meant was that he wanted Galaxy Technology to independently fund the construction of research institutes and experimental bases. This point has also been discussed by the leaders."

This question is raised at this time out of such considerations.

For this research institute, Wang Donglai naturally chose to place it in Tangdu City and would not choose any other place.

"The artificial intelligence medical auxiliary diagnosis system, this project is really excellent."

"This also allows the city to see Galaxy Technology's technological innovation, so the market has high expectations for your company."

"If it were just an ordinary Internet company, we in Qin Province and Tang City might not pay much attention to it, but Galaxy Technology founded by Professor Wang is different."

Although he was born in Tangdu Jiaotong University, Xu Songyao also supported him very much. No matter from which aspect, Tangdu Jiaotong University would not have any disagreement with him on the distribution of patent rights.

"Professor Wang's talent in mathematics is known to the world, but not many people know about Professor Wang's research and development capabilities in the battery field. It is undoubtedly a pity that this new energy technology research is a good opportunity. I didn't know that Professor Wang Is the professor interested in this?"

Director Lu's face was filled with a smile, but he showed no sign of the majesty of a municipal bureau leader.

The attitude and look shown also make people feel very comfortable and friendly.

How could Wang Donglai not understand Director Lu's inner thoughts? He immediately smiled and said: "Thank you Director Lu for reminding me that the new energy industry is the future development trend. Whether as a scholar or as the founder of a technology company, I Of course you won’t miss it.”

Hearing Wang Donglai's answer, the smile on Director Lu's face suddenly became more intense, and he said loudly: "That's good, that's good. I still believe in Professor Wang's scientific research strength." I want to ask, should Professor Wang choose to receive scientific research funds and conduct longitudinal research, or should he personally fund the research and form his own research team? "

Wang Donglai did not hide anything, and said aloud: "Personally funded research, there will be many places to deal with Director Lu when the time comes, I hope Director Lu can give more support!"

Director Lu's eyes lit up and he said: "Of course there is no problem. I also hope that Professor Wang will make a major breakthrough in this area. The market is actually very supportive of large companies like Galaxy Technology establishing research institutes to conduct research and experiments. , If the market knows this news, it will definitely give Professor Wang the greatest support, so Professor Wang does not need to worry too much. "

After getting the information he wanted to know, Director Lu's expression became relaxed.

Behind this relaxation, there is also a bit of excitement.

Director Lu also knew about the lithium battery technology developed before Wang Donglai. It was precisely because of this that Director Lu's attitude was so cordial.

The trend of the new energy industry is about to rise. If R&D talents like Wang Donglai develop excellent products, this will be a fruitless achievement for Director Lu.

That's why he was so concerned.

After a brief chat, Director Lu and Wang Donglai separated.

After Director Lu left, Xu Songyao slowly said: "It's a good thing that you want to personally fund the construction of the research institute. However, if you want to do research before, if necessary, the school's laboratory can be rented to you. If you need it, The school can also arrange talents for you, and will recommend outstanding students to your company. You can also establish an internship base with the school and enter the internship in advance. "

"As long as I am the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, you don't have to worry about these things!"

Xu Songyao looked calm, but his tone was extremely firm and serious.

"With Uncle Xu's support, I feel relieved!"

Students of Tangdu Jiaotong University are naturally unlikely to worry about finding a job, and high-quality talents are in hot demand wherever they are placed.

Xu Songyao can say this with great sincerity.

After talking about this matter, Xu Songyao and Wang Donglai started chatting.

"Donglai, our school's Institute of Advanced Mathematics is about to be put into operation. Since you have been here since you were a student, you are not much different in age, and you have also seen the academic atmosphere abroad. Do you think there is anything that needs to be improved in our school? of."

"It's just you and me here. Just treat it as a casual chat and tell us your opinions."

Xu Songyao said it was just chatting, but in fact he looked quite serious.

Wang Dong glanced at Xu Songyao, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Xu, since you asked me, let me just say it briefly."

"I've only been in college for one year, but I do have a lot of feelings. I'll just say it, and you can just listen to it."

"In fact, our country is so big and has a large population, the number of geniuses should be far greater than that of developed countries abroad, but this is not the case."

"In my opinion, the students trained by our country's education system may not be worse than those abroad. On the contrary, the earlier we start, the greater our advantage will be. It is only after we reach university that the gap widens."

"When I was in elementary school, the teacher would say that in junior high school, you can play whatever you want. If you don't want to learn, just stay in school for three years and go home. When I got to junior high school, the teacher said that high school teachers don't care at all. You can sleep in class or play games online. , when I got to high school, and when I got to college, I said that I could fall in love and do whatever I wanted, and the college teachers didn’t care at all, and they didn’t even mention it.”

"So, after I arrived at the university and saw the colorful life at the university, I fell into a mentality of 'escape from freedom' as Erich Fromm said."

Although Xu Songyao is an academician of science, he is naturally well-read to be an academician.

As soon as Wang Donglai mentioned Erich Fromm's "escape from freedom" mentality, he understood a little bit, and then said: "Your statement is quite novel. It's just you and me today. You might as well talk about it more. I'll take it easy." Let me hear your opinion."

Now that everything has been said, Wang Donglai stopped hiding and let go directly, saying: "Uncle Xu also seems to know the concept of 'escape from freedom'."

"The world is material, so all realistic situations have a basis for reality behind them."

"The main reason for the slow academic development in our country is that university education is not done well. The evaluation standards of meritocracy, coupled with the high cost and lack of trial and error in our country, leave many people with no choice."

"Many people have learned about capitalism from books and think that the West is capitalism and that the so-called big capitalists control the market. This is very one-sided."

“Real capitalism affects people in all aspects. First, it increases people’s freedom and can openly express dissatisfaction and criticism. Secondly, it increases people’s loneliness and insecurity. They often feel helpless and fearful. Uneasy. And these two phenomena are caused by the same reasons. One is the tendency of individualism in capitalist society, and people use each other and alienate each other. The other is the instrumental status of individuals in capitalist machine production. People are always striving for an alien goal.”

"The motivation of many people's activities is not to satisfy their own instinctive drive, but to escape the freedom of the continuous development of this society and long to return to a more secure life state that they can rely on."

"Academia, in fact, is considered by many people to be a boring and boring job."

"..."

"However, the heavy reality is forcing them to face it."

"With all these factors, without a sincere pursuit and love for academic research, the possibility of achieving results is almost zero."

"The West is the opposite of us. They have done a good job in protecting themselves. The various benefits of high-welfare countries allow students who enter universities to invest more in academic research without worrying about their own survival."

"Of course, there are also reasons why the West uses its academic hegemony to gather the wisdom of scholars from all over the world for development."

Wang Donglai talked a lot eloquently, and Xu Songyao's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

"Donglai, what you are talking about is too big and involves many things. It has exceeded my scope."

"Let's end this topic here. You'd better tell me about our school's Institute of Advanced Mathematics. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Xu Songyao changed the subject and asked Wang Donglai about his suggestions for the Institute of Advanced Mathematics.

After all, Wang Donglai accounted for a large part of the reason why the Institute of Advanced Mathematics of Tangdu Jiaotong University was approved.

After the establishment of the Institute of Advanced Mathematics, Wang Donglai became the core of the core. Therefore, Xu Songyao would ask Wang Donglai for his views and see what ideas and suggestions he had.

Wang Donglai also understood this, and after pondering for a moment, he said aloud: "I think since we have to do something, we must do it well."

"Although I have not actually inspected the Institute of Advanced Mathematics at several universities in China, but judging from the academic performance, it is obvious that they are far behind."

"Instead of doing this, it is better to choose a management method that is different from many domestic advanced mathematics institutes from the beginning."

"Of course, I am just making a suggestion. It is up to you, the principal, to decide how to manage it."

When Xu Songyao heard this, his eyes moved, and he immediately suggested half jokingly, half seriously: "I think your suggestion is very good, and I also believe in your management ability. How about it? Do you want to come?" Be the director of this institute?”

Wang Donglai said with a smile: "Let's forget it. I have too many things to do next, so I probably can't take care of this."

Hearing Wang Donglai's polite refusal, Xu Songyao didn't force it, smiled and said nothing more.
