Reborn multinational giant

"Himalaya Foundation?"

Zuo Ruichao carefully pondered the name, which reminded him that two years ago, in response to Qian Xuesen’s question and in order to change the education dilemma that it is difficult to cultivate top talents in China, the Ministry of Education united multiple departments with Yan University and Huaqing. A dozen well-known universities in China have launched a project called "Experimental Program for Training Top Students in Basic Subjects."

This project aims to explore the experience of cultivating top talents in basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry through a small-scale experimental education reform!

Because this project hopes to cultivate top talents, this project is also dubbed the "Everest Project". At that time, Zuo Ruichao was studying in Huaqing, and his life science major happened to be part of this project. Within the scope of training, he has also heard of this plan. The vision of the Himalaya Foundation mentioned by Fang Zhe is somewhat similar to this plan!

It’s just that the “Everest Project” is a state-led initiative to cultivate top talents through cooperation with higher education institutions to experiment with educational reforms. The way the Himalaya Foundation trains top talents in Fangzhe’s plan is a bit simple and rude. money!

Although spending money may not necessarily train top talents, spending money will definitely increase the success rate of cultivating top talents.

For example, Edison experimented with the invention of the light bulb thousands of times. Without financial support, how could he do thousands of experiments?In the last century, the famous Bell Labs that changed the world was the result of its parent company AT&T using money.

Of course, at this stage, Fang Zhe does not plan to spend tens of billions to build any Oriental Bell Labs, nor does he plan to fund any crazy scientist to continue experiments. What he wants to do is just to fund a group of outstanding foreign students first. To start, work hard to sow the seeds of top talent.

In Fang Zhe's plan, the future development of the Himalaya Foundation can be roughly divided into three stages.

In the first stage, after the foundation was established, it began to fund domestic basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, as well as outstanding young people who are interested in chips, artificial intelligence and other future scientific and technological fields to study abroad. Fang Zhe cannot deny that at this stage In the field, there is still a big gap between domestic and foreign countries.

The second stage, roughly three years after the foundation was established, that is, around 2015, began to establish a prototype similar to the former Alibaba Dharma Academy and Bell Labs.

At that time, after another three years of development, Huizhong must have become the world's top giant close to or even comparable to Microsoft, Google and other companies. By then, Huizhong will start to follow trends in the 3G era and the mobile Internet era. The transformation of top technology companies that lead and create the trend of the times.

As for the third stage, it is still a little too far away for Fang Zhe and Huizhong. At least in Fang Zhe’s vision, at least the glory of Bell Labs must be realized. Every invention is to change the world!

"I just recently arranged for someone to start planning for the foundation. I am looking for you today, mainly because you just returned to China, and you happen to be one of the main objects of my establishment of this foundation, so I want to talk to you about it. Views.

You know that although there are many international students in China every year, most of them go there with a gilded mentality. Those who are truly committed to pursuing academic and scientific beliefs have basically stayed abroad."

Speaking of this, Fang Zhe smiled helplessly. Although China has the largest overseas student population in the world, the rate of loss is also the highest in the world. The higher the talent, the easier it is to stay abroad and not return. There are many people in China who are ridiculing, our Huaqing Yan University is dedicated to cultivating talents for foreign countries!

Although Fang Zhe established the Himalaya Foundation to cultivate the seeds of top talents, he certainly hopes that these talents can be used for himself and Huizhong and serve the motherland after they have learned something.

As a PhD student, Zuo Ruichao naturally understood the meaning of Fang Zhe's words with his IQ. Not only was he not disgusted with this, he felt that it was natural and even a little grateful.

As far as he is concerned, although he accepted Fang Zhe’s aid for studying abroad, he also hopes to repay Fang Zhe someday in the future. He does not hope that Fang Zhe’s aid to him is a kind of compassion from the rich to the poor. It is equal and equal exchange, and only in this way can he truly feel respected and self-esteem.

The two chatted in the living room for more than two hours. The many suggestions Zuo Ruichao gave Fang Zhe gave Fang Zhe a more complete idea of ​​the talent training plan of the Himalaya Foundation, including the language that many foreign students have troubled. The problems include the lecture forums of some top academic masters that many international students cannot participate in because they can't afford air tickets or because they don't have enough status, including the inability to access many core knowledge and technologies because of the Chinese identity.

The more he talked, the more Fang Zhe felt that it was not easy to cultivate a top talent. Fang Zhe remembered that whether it was Einstein, von Neumann and other historical celebrities in the past, or now some international masters who have made great statements, among them Many of the people have basically studied or worked in two or more top universities or research institutions. The so-called endless learning experience is a step-by-step accumulation of achievements, even if they are rich in resources!

At noon, Fang Zhe hosted Zuo Ruichao for a meal at home, and he was about to leave. Before leaving, Zuo Ruichao asked hesitantly:

"Your sister didn't have a holiday?"

"No!"

After Fang Zhe replied dryly, Zuo Ruichao said nothing. After a while, he said again:

"You said that the top expert in brain neuroscience, I also know one in Switzerland. When I go to Switzerland, I will help you get in touch with each other. Virtual reality technology has been studied abroad for decades, and I want to truly achieve it. There are still many difficulties to overcome at the level of technology of Sword Art Online.

But you are a big capitalist and you are not afraid of throwing money. Maybe when you are old, you will have the opportunity to experience a real holographic game!"

Fang Zhe heard that the day after Zuo Ruichao left, he went to Switzerland again. Fang Zhe didn’t know when he would see Zuo Ruichao next time, or whether Zuo Ruichao’s future would be real. To be able to achieve something in the field of biological sciences, Fang Zhe only knows that Zuo Ruichao is still full of enthusiasm and desire for biology as he did when he first met him three years ago.

And my sister Fang Ying, after Fang Zhe told him Zuo Ruichao had come, she simply said "Oh", and then there was no more.

Perhaps each person has his own fate for emotional matters!

Time enters the end of the month at the end of December, and in a few days, 2011 is about to pass. With the approach of New Year's Day, a frantic complaint caused by buying a ticket to go home has begun to spread and spread across the network!
