1991 Starting from the core

Over the weekend, Su Yuanshan returned to his home in Electrical Engineering.

Logically speaking, regardless of Professor Su Xinghe's level or the Su family's wealth, they should not continue to live in the old building. But the son missed the old days and didn't want to move to a new home... So Su Xinghe and his wife followed Su Yuanshan and lived in the old building.

After casually parrying his mother's questions about when Ye Zi would come back, Su Yuanshan chatted with his father about business.

Dad, of course the success of Silicon Valley can be copied, but if you want to succeed, you must completely copy the Silicon Valley model... I don't really agree. Su Yuanshan said while holding his briefcase.

He originally didn't want to interfere with how the electronic science department should develop, and allowed the old man to develop on his own. But after listening to his father's worries that day, Su Yuanshan realized that his father also had his limitations. In the face of increasingly fierce competition, the Electrical Engineering Department cannot simply rely on a principal with a passion and reform spirit to achieve success. Soaring.

As the helmsman of Yuanxin, Su Yuanshan knows better than anyone else that the route determines everything.

This week, I learned about the vision of the province and the management committee for major colleges and universities in the provincial capital, as well as the policies to be introduced by the future development zone management committee... I have a feeling that whether it is from top to bottom, or from bottom to top, Everyone in the government seems to think that schools such as Electronic Science and Technology, Provincial University, Jiaotong University, and Science and Technology should serve the industrial zone and provide excellent talents and technology to help the development zone become Silicon Valley.

Isn't it supposed to be this way? Professor Su Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked: We educate students to become talents and provide scientific research results. The industrial zone provides nearby jobs and technology marketization. At the same time, we can also improve each other. Influence - ultimately achieving win-win and mutual strength.”

Of course the ideal model is like this. But dad, don't forget... what is the first driving force for technological development? It is technological innovation. Although we are now clamoring for innovation in all walks of life - you can walk into any store with a little Companies that have something to do with technology will definitely have the word ‘innovation’ on their wall.”

Professor Su Xinghe frowned slightly, looked at his son, pondered for a few seconds and then nodded.

Indeed, in recent years, the country’s investment in technology and education, based on the semiconductor industry, is obvious to all. And everyone from top to bottom is shouting for innovation and development.

From scientific research institutions to schools, and even to rural areas... various inventions and patents are emerging one after another.

Not to mention whether these inventions have practical value, at least, this trend exists.

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: Then the question is, why do we train the most imaginative and creative group of people - college students - in the direction of 'adapting to work' and 'adapting to the market'? Well... it's a bit like that. Absolutely. After all, many people go to college just to find a good job and live a better life...

“But we must realize, at least now, that we need to give those students with ideas and creativity a platform and opportunity, so that they have the opportunity to realize their dreams, the courage to dare to challenge the future, and... a way out .”

Su Yuanshan thought about it for three days, and also talked with Chen Jing, Mr. Xi and other senior officials, as well as several of his graduate students and even many people who had just joined Yuanxin...

Except for a very small number of people who expressed the courage to drop out of school and start a business, everyone else said that in the current domestic environment, dropping out of a university, especially one of the country's leading science and engineering universities like Electrical Science and Engineering, is indeed a difficult task for a family. A huge thing.

Apart from anything else, your parents can't pass the test - believe it or not, as long as your parents get a little bit of news, they will immediately run to you, kneel on the ground, cry and shout, begging you to stop thinking, study hard, get a diploma and find a job?

Therefore, in order to encourage college students to innovate and start businesses, in addition to the environment provided by the school, there must also be a way out.

Su Yuanshan opened his briefcase and handed his father a ten-page proposal he had written.

Dad, you know, in Silicon Valley, I have two very famous friends. They dropped out of college to start their own businesses.

Professor Su Xinghe took the file and before he opened it, he had an idea and asked, You mean Bill Gates and Steve Jobs?

That's right. Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: But we cannot require everyone to have the talent and courage of Gates and Jobs. Therefore, schools must give them courage, opportunities, and confidence.

Professor Su Xinghe opened the file thoughtfully.

Imagination on guiding and encouraging college students to start their own businesses

In this idea, Su Yuanshan proposed that the school should establish an entrepreneurial charity fund to actively provide start-up funds, guidance and support to students who have ideas, skills, and even certain achievements.

——Although the software park itself also has entrepreneurial funds, the software park entrepreneurial funds focus more on investments that require returns and support micro-enterprises, while Yuanxin's funds consider more angel investments.

In a sense, the threshold of these two funds is relatively high, and they are absolutely strong for college students.

Not to mention that college students with entrepreneurial ideas can get investment, sometimes they may not even have the courage to come to them.

And if the school establishes such a public welfare entrepreneurship fund, accepts alumni donations as the main source of capital, and manages it in an open and transparent manner... coupled with the school providing policy support such as retaining student status, then it is obvious that it can amplify students' of mobility.

——Su Yuanshan knows the thoughts of some students very well. Sometimes there are good projects and ideas, but for one reason or another, or even just because of trouble, they are unable to get started and finally give up on the idea. I chose to study honestly.

In addition, dad... we must carefully control the whereabouts of this fund, and try to avoid money fraud as much as possible, and... teachers plundering students' achievements.

Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and looked at his father solemnly.

Su Xinghe had already focused on the documents. When he heard this, he raised his head and frowned slightly: What about the start-up capital? Are you donating it?

Last time, Su Yuanshan made a phone call in front of him and donated money to the new campus of Electronic Science and Technology in the name of all the senior brothers. In the end, a total of 1.3 billion was allocated to the Electrical Engineering Technology...

Some of these donations are targeted and some are for establishing student aid funds. The most touching thing among the students, and what can even be said to have brought an enrollment advantage to the Department of Electrical Engineering, is that all student dormitories in the new campus are equipped with air conditioners.

As a result, students in the electrical engineering department all have the goal of entering Yuanxin.

I'll just donate it. I have so much money... I won't take it with me in life or death. What can I do if I don't donate it? Su Yuanshan shrugged and joked: Gates is encouraging me to go to Africa to do something. Wildlife Sanctuary, I also plan to take him for a tour of Daliang Mountain to see whether the wild animals need protection, or the people of Daliang Mountain need rescue more.

... Professor Su Xinghe was speechless for a while, then laughed: How about setting up a protected area?

It still needs to be done, and Yuanxin must also link up and donate and fund groups, individuals, and scholars around the world who are committed to wildlife and environmental protection - to put it bluntly, we are learning from foreigners.

At the very least, in the animal world from now on, we can't just take a picture of the African savannah and it's all foreigners. There has to be some trace of us yellow people, right?

Su Yuanshan said, frowning again.

Thinking about future generations, there are so many large factories and companies in China, but none of them has any investment in NGO organizations such as animal protection and environmental protection that seem to have nothing to do with profit.

——There may be investment, but at least it has no influence.

Otherwise, how could it be penetrated like a sieve?
