The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide

"Professor Hu Zhengming is the first president of CAAS, and he is also my doctoral supervisor, so does it feel like an imperial appointment?

Mr. Li Zhengdao told me, don't worry, the organization has already decided, and the second is that you go up and talk. If anyone has an opinion about you, he will go up and talk about it if he donates more money than you.

I instantly felt much more secure in my heart. Although everyone here is more knowledgeable than me, they don't have as much money as I do.

Haha just kidding. "

As the largest donor of CAAS and also one of the founders, Zhou Xin is naturally qualified to speak at the inauguration ceremony. In addition to his status, no one here will question his speech.

But Zhou Xin's joke at the beginning still made the audience have a good impression of him. No one would dislike a junior who is humorous and respects himself.

Zhou Xin continued: "Because of my work, I held many press conferences. The Quora Golden Selection conference held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco should have the most people. At that time, including media reporters, there were more than one Twelve thousand people.

There are 200 people here today, which brought me even more pressure than the 12,000 people at that time, because you are all elders in my age and seniors in the pursuit of knowledge.

Talking about academics in front of everyone, and talking about promoting academic exchanges between American and Huaguo, I always feel that I have no confidence.

Because I am still in its infancy about academics, and I am only in the second year of my doctorate. As for promoting academic exchanges between American and Huaguo, I am still talking about it.

As far as I know, many seniors here often return to China to hold academic lectures, participate in academic forums, and conduct academic exchanges.

So here, I can only talk about why CAAS was established. After it was established, I served as an executive director and built a system for CAAS. What goals we hope to achieve.

First of all, CAAS originated from my study in Berkeley after I came to American from Huaguo as an international student, and I realized that there are many backward places in Huaguo's academic education.

However, not all the younger generations in Huaguo have the same opportunity as me to come to American to continue their studies, so I hope that students in Huaguo can also receive better education, at least through this kind of academic lectures, to come to the United States. Let the college students in Huaguo broaden their horizons.

Help the student groups in Huaguo to know what the mainstream academia is doing, and then they may find their own interests in it. Maybe an academic lecture or an interaction with big bosses will allow Huaguo students to embark on the road of scientific research opportunity.

However, this matter cannot be done by me alone. It needs the help of Chinese scholars in the United States.

So after I communicated with Professor Hu, he thought we could set up an organization to do this.

Professor Hu has been going to Huaguo to give academic lectures and conduct academic exchanges since the 1980s. He has held several lectures at Yanda University.

When Professor Hu went to Yanda to give lectures, I had not yet enrolled.

After we reached an agreement, Professor Hu had much wider contacts in the academic circle than I did. Later, he brought in Ding Zhaozhong, Li Zhengdao, Qiu Chengtong and Zhang Zhongmou. I sorted it according to the initials of the pinyin.

Mr. Li Zhengdao, don't blame me for putting you behind Mr. Ding Zhaozhong. The same goes for the two gentlemen behind.

After several seniors joined, they proposed that our goal can be enlarged, not only to spread academic ideas, academic concepts and research directions to Huaguo, but also to conduct technical exchanges, and then we can learn from Huaguo that they are good at scientific research. The place.

Scholars from Huaguo are definitely no less capable than scholars from American, but they lack academic foundation and academic taste due to historical reasons. We can encourage scholars from Huaguo to come to American for academic visits, fully Make use of the energy between scholars of the two countries.

In the end, the name of the organization became the current Chinese Association for the Advancement of Science.

I will donate some money in the future as a scholarship for Huaguo students to study in American and as a living allowance for Huaguo scholars to visit and study in American.

A corresponding bonus will be established in the name of the Chinese Association for the Advancement of Science. "

Zhou Xin originally planned to set up a charitable foundation. The charitable foundation must invest at least 5% of its money in public welfare undertakings every year.

Therefore, donating this money to CAAS and specifying the purpose of the donation at the same time is to use the money that should have been taxed to support Huaguo international students and Huaguo scholars.

Zhou Xin continued: "As for the user system I created for CAAS, everyone can definitely feel that it has my personal style.

From verification codes to badges to level settings, this is to have a certain degree of differentiation.

At the beginning of its establishment, CAAS did not want to adopt the model of other organizations. Whoever donates more money will have more power or a higher status. Since the name of CAAS has the word science, we hope that you will be a part of the organization. Power or status is determined by your contributions to science.

Because there is promotion in CAAS, the content of promotion has also been added.

You can think of this as a role-playing game. CAAS releases tasks through the system I developed. For example, I will go to Huaguo to hold an academic lecture in December this year. Those who are interested in participating can apply.

After the application is approved and completed, we will give you points as a reward. Points can help you upgrade, and you can enjoy corresponding treatment after upgrading.

This kind of task belongs to the organization, but the seniors here have their own academic breakthroughs, such as what materials they invented and what theorems were proved. This kind of task is completed on their own initiative.

After filling in the relevant information and submitting supporting materials, we will also award points.

Simply put, it is set up as a role-playing game.

Although I am an executive director, this role is to serve everyone well, so I hope that the system can serve you well in a fair, just, and interesting way. "

The charitable foundation that Zhou Xin intends to establish by himself will donate most of the fixed 5% public welfare donations to CAAS every year.

Build CAAS into your own talent base.

Li Zhengdao was the last to speak. Ding Zhaozhong didn't like to speak on such occasions: "Zhou Xin just said it very well."

Li Yanhong watched Zhou Xin in high spirits on the stage from the audience, and he was so comfortable teasing big guys like Li Zhengdao and Ding Zhaozhong, he felt envious in his heart.

Whether they are Chinese or other races, a large part of the pursuit of life is nothing more than fame and fortune.

In Li Yanhong's view, Zhou Xin's starting point can be said to be his end point. If Baidu can be made to have the same market value as Quora, it will be enough to satisfy him.

In terms of fame, Zhou Xin far exceeds him. His fame is only limited to a small circle, while Zhou Xin is a world-renowned Internet tycoon.

More importantly, Zhou Xin was younger than him, and Li Yanhong even had six words in his mind: Ji Shengyu, He Shengliang.

This also made Robin Li's idea of ​​going public with Baidu even stronger. After thinking about it, the biggest beneficiary of Baidu's listing is still Zhou Xin, and there is a feeling of depression.

When the people around you are younger and stronger than you, you need to adjust your thoughts as soon as possible.

Robin Li's way of comforting himself is that there is no one better than Zhou Xin in the world, and he doesn't need to compare with him. He was already the best in their Yanjing University class back then.

Baidu's next round of financing will be valued at least $100 million or more.

But there is still a very uncomfortable thing, that is, once Quora kicks Baidu out of its own supplier list, the valuation will be at least halved.

After Zhou Xin stepped down, Li Yanhong whispered when he passed by him: "Newman, you are very good at speaking. I didn't see that you are so good at this."

Zhou Xin didn't know what Li Yanhong was thinking, even if he knew, he would just laugh it off, this is the psychology that everyone has:

"An entrepreneur who can't speak is not a good entrepreneur. Didn't you speak well when Baidu launched it before.

When Baidu goes public in the future, you will have to practice repeatedly when you need roadshows. Everyone has this process.

For the press conference launched by Quora Golden Selection before, I think it is enough to send out 5,000 tickets. Why would so many people travel all the way to San Francisco to attend the press conference.

At that time, the executives of Quora told me, Newman, you have to believe in the appeal of you and Quora, and asked me to send out 20,000 invitations. In the end, we compromised and sent 15,000 invitations. More than ten thousand people.

How stressful it is, there are crowds of people below, and if you talk a little bit, the next one will cheer and scream to interrupt your train of thought. "

Zhou Xin just said on stage that this speech is even more stressful, and it is completely polite. This kind of talk is no different from an academic lecture, and there is no pressure at all.

The press conference held in San Francisco was really stressful, because there were too many people, and the sense of oppression was completely different when the number reached a certain level.

And there are so many people, you can't control the situation at all, and you can't guarantee that what you say can go as expected.

You think the audience is going to cheer here, but no, they don't think exactly as you do.

After attending the inauguration ceremony of CAAS, Zhou Xin is about to prepare for the Matrix launch event, which is also the first Matrix product launch event.

This is a new start for him. Zhou Xin has never made consumer-grade products.

Xinxin Technology, which he established before, is a product for enterprises. Internet products have too many cases that can be used for reference in later generations.

Huaguo Internet is also the largest Internet market in the world, and the Internet companies that can emerge here have their own unique skills.

Zhou Xin's Internet product thinking was a blow to the American Internet industry in 1999.

But consumer electronics products are different. This is too complicated, and there are countless links on the process nodes.

Product quality control, pricing, supply chain management, profit margins, brand marketing, product design, and more.

In the last chapter, a reader replied to me that the value of the executive director is not as good as recognizing that I am a woman. I wanted to reply under his comment, but the starting point swallowed it.

Let me reply here. I know the executive director of the European and American Scholars Association. When he was in Shanghai, he was taught by Vice Minister Tongzhanbu.

In March last year, this buddy was able to get a special permit to go out of Shanghai. The gold content of CAAS in the article is undoubtedly higher than that of the European and American Scholars Association, right?
