Chapter 256 Blue Academy

There are all surnames in China, but there seem to be very few people with the surname Dian. According to legend, this surname was an official who was in charge of whipping during the Han Dynasty. Because whipping was also called Tingxing, the one who performed the punishment was called Ting. The ancients used Dian to connect Ting, so the descendants of these Tingjian took officials as their surnames, so that the surname Dian was left behind. This surname Dian was not only not found in the hundreds of families, but was rarely seen in reality.

"Is there really a surname Ding?" Tu Anbei asked in surprise. Logically, he was well-informed, but he had never heard of anyone calling this surname.

"Of course." Zhou Shuo nodded while looking into the distance. He said seriously: "If it weren't for Professor Zhu Liwen's introduction, I would have never heard of this person. In the American Chinese technology industry, he should be considered an unknown person. However, he must have a special reputation for being praised by Professor Zhu."

"By the way, what's this person's name?" Tu Anbei asked in a daze.

Zhou Shuo thought about it and replied seriously: "It should be his surname is Dian, and his name is 'Dian.'"

While the two were talking, a convoy suddenly turned out at the intersection not far away. The first one was Cadillac, which was very rare in the imperial capital, and behind them were a series of Mercedes-Benz and Lincoln, and the second was a brand new Audi. The convoy turned from the turn for more than ten minutes, but it didn't finish it. The series of luxury cars attracted the attention of passers-by.

Of course, it is impossible for all of these cars to be owned by Fanhan Group. In fact, many of them were borrowed from various project partners. Fanhan Research Institute is a project worth tens of millions of dollars, and it is a great deal to borrow a car by a partner. However, as soon as the convoy appeared, it really attracted a lot of attention in the imperial capital.

Cadillac stopped slowly. The driver in a black suit trotted out of the driver's seat, pulling open the rear door while blocking the top of the door.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the car. He had half-flowered hair and an extremely strong physique. Although a pair of sunglasses blocked half of his face, he could not stop his unparalleled self-confident temperament. He was wearing a decent casual suit and was not inferior to that of a big Hollywood star.

"You must be Zhou Shuo, Zhu Liwen praised you." As soon as the man stood firm on the ground, he laughed and stretched out his hand to Zhou Shuo.

"You are Dian... sir, I've been reliant on you for a long time!" Zhou Shuo was really not used to it. It was a bit awkward to call someone's surname Dian.

"Haha, call me Uncle Net." Uncle Net smiled generously and looked at him: "This is Academician Tu Anbei? Hello, I am the Power Grid."

The power grid...

Tu Anbei really didn't expect that someone would call this name. He was stunned for a moment. Then he reached out to shake his hand and shook it with him, and smiled and said, "I am Tu Anbei, welcome to China."

Although the power grid is unknown, it is the school that Zhu Liwen specially recommended to Zhou Shuo. When Zhou Shuo said that he hoped to build a school like Stanford University in China, Zhu Liwen pondered for a long time before recommending the power grid to him.

Zhou Shuo never figured out what Uncle Net came from. Zhu Liwen said that his job was a librarian at Stanford University. As for why a librarian could make her look at her so differently, there was no answer. But out of trust in Zhu Liwen, Zhou Shuo still used the highest specifications to welcome his arrival.

Behind the Cadillac, Uncle Net was riding, some people got out of the car one after another. Some of them were obviously yellow people, while others had the characteristics of yellow people. Some were basically the appearance of foreigners. However, most of them were Chinese. These people were all educational talents collected from all over the United States by Zhu Liwen, Jerry Yang and others. Although there were not many great men willing to leave their hometowns, the reality is that the education level of Americans is much better than that of domestic ones.

The popular foreign teachers in China have to wait until at least 2000, and most of them are just waiting to teach English. Professionals like Zhu Liwen recommend them are actually scarce resources.

The researchers behind Tu Anbei looked at them novelly, and they were also novelly looking at this strange country. They came all the way from the Imperial Capital International Airport. The country gave them a very different feeling from their previous impressions. The people here did not drag their slender pig tails behind their heads, and they were not wearing all green military uniforms. Although there were few good cars on the road, they were still flowing.

Moreover, the sky here is very blue, the people are very harmonious, the owner is enthusiastic, and the most important thing is that you make more money than the United States.

Some interns recruited by the Panhan Institute came over with the courage to greet them enthusiastically. Those who were close to them and helped carry their luggage made these Americans a little flattered.

Although the United States is a super dominant internationally, young people who are young and have never even walked out of campus are still very cute. They have never come into contact with Chinese people, and generally look cautious. They are completely incomparable to those foreigners who have already developed shamelessness in later generations.

With the warm welcome from the Fanhan Institute, this foreign coaching team was welcomed in a vast array. Four rows of color steel houses have been built on the playground behind the main office building of Menghai Microelectronics, and most of the people's office space has been moved. Fortunately, summer has passed, otherwise there will be people living in the stuffy color steel house.

The office they vacated was transformed into a temporary residence for these people. After Tu Anbei arranged the reception work for the people below, only he and Zhou Shuo surrounded Uncle Net to go upstairs.

In Tu'anbei's conference room, Uncle Net was flipping through the planning book handed over by Zhou Shuo. It took him only an hour to finish reading the hundreds of pages of the documents. Don't think that he had just browsed it roughly. In just a moment, he made notes on almost every page of the documents.

"Your goal is to build a Stanford-level university in China?" Uncle Net rubbed the corners of his eyes and raised his head to ask.

Zhou Shuo pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, there is currently no Stanford-level university in China. I think this is a good business opportunity."

Of course he didn't tell the truth, what is the significance of Stanford? Is it just a private university that makes money? Without it, there would be no Silicon Valley. Without Silicon Valley, there would be no prosperity in the United States' integrated circuit industry.

It can be said that without Stanford University, the United States may not have had great developments in integrated circuits. But just like Chinese aircraft, it will definitely lack a powerful domestic engine.

Stanford University is the engine of the American semiconductor industry. From the blue giant ibm to the software overlord Microsoft, from the originator of assembly machines, to the fashion darling Apple, from the originator of mobile phones, to the military-quality Nokia, from the network miracle Yahoo, to the rising star Google, from basic semiconductor materials, chip design, production, software system design to the development of network technology.

Almost every corner, Stanford graduates can be seen. They are not only filled with Silicon Valley, but also sprinkled the United States, Europe, and finally the world.

If China's electronics industry wants to surpass the United States, it is impossible to lack such a domestic engine.

Of course, Zhou Shuo would not tell a Chinese American like Uncle Net for such reasons. This is not only an indispensable guardianship, but also a kind of protection for him.

If there are some sensitive issues in the future, he can still refuse to be completely deceived by Zhou Shuo.

Uncle Net looked at Zhou Shuo for a while, nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I'll just pretend to think this is a good reason."

"Since that's the case, you can throw away your plan." Uncle Net said, throwing the documents into the garbage basket, clapping his hands and saying: "From the design of the university, this is a good plan. But if your goal is Stanford, you are going in the wrong direction."

Zhou Shuo was stunned. He had left the relationship with this document and asked an old leader of the Ministry of Education to gather more than a dozen education experts in the industry. The experts of this era are not as unreliable as those of the bricks twenty years later. They are all figures who have been doing research in national research institutes or professional institutions for more than ten years. How could they say that their professionalism is not strong?

However, Uncle Net was introduced by Zhu Liwen after all, so Zhou Shuo still has this patience. He sat quietly and nodded and asked, "What about your opinion?"

"I don't know if Mr. Zhou has heard this saying. Stanford is like a company, more like a university. Stanford University is one of the most assets among American universities. It not only produces scholars, professors, scientists, but also produces successful businessmen and millionaires. The success of Stanford University is not the success of one person, but the success of many graduates."

Uncle Net paused, looked at Zhou Shuo and continued, "To be offensive, you can't afford to buy one tenth of Stanford if you sell it alone. Stanford University has a history of hundreds of years of establishment, and the school has shares in many companies opened by graduates. Relying on the huge scale of outstanding graduates, this is why Stanford University can become the seventh-ranked university in the world."

"So with your opinion, how should we start?" Zhou Shuo nodded and asked modestly.

"From the situation in China, my suggestion is that you should start with professional and technical skills first. I see the blue ones in China..."

"Blue?" Zhou Shuo widened his eyes. This guy was not a time traveler. Could he be talking about "Lan Xiang"?
