Chapter 10 Ideas
"Mr. Du, some people manipulate public opinion to deal with Snapdragon, which is worthy of attention. I suggest holding a director-level management meeting, so that everyone can communicate with each other and prevent it before it happens."
"I agree, please arrange the specific schedule."
"OK."
Yang Fan looked solemn. After leaving in a hurry, about half an hour later, Chen Zhiyang's secretary Cai Xinghuo sent the college entrance examination materials. He often participated in the organization of campus activities jointly organized by Snapdragon and Sanjiang University. He was familiar with Du Qiu. When he received the invitation letter, he asked: "Mr. Du, can my girlfriend and I go to see each other in your company's New Year's Day party?"
"There is no celebrity invitation this party, but the company's internal employees gathering, which may be boring." Du Qiu explained and ordered: "Dai Yi, go and get a few more invitation letters to Secretary Cai."
"Thank you, Mr. Du, your company has been hiding and hiding. The versatile people have gone, so it is impossible to be bored." Cai Xinghuo is a secretary who loves to perform and said without saying anything: "Mr. Du, your English version of "Kiss Goodbye" is really good, and it sounds better than Jacky Cheung's original version."
"I'm just playing, and my singing skills are far worse than Jacky Cheung." Du Qiu asked while reading the information: "Where did you hear me sing "Kiss Goodbye"?"
"Our school student union also wants to hold a New Year's Day party. Principal Chen takes your video tape for them as a reference." Cai Xinghuo made a Stephen Chow exaggerated expression and said with a smile: "The students were shocked and expressed their intention to replace them, but the boys wanted to replace them by General Du, and the girl wanted to replace them by the elder sister."
"You are very familiar with the students?"
"Of course, I am usually responsible for the work related to the student union and often contact them."
"Then I'll ask you something." Du Qiu raised his head and asked, "How do the students in your school evaluate me and Snapdragon?"
"Of course I admire Mr. Du..." Cai Xinghuo's attitude was very high. Halfway through compliment, he saw Du Qiu's face showing unhesitation, and immediately changed his words with a smile: "This scorer, who often comes into contact with Snapdragon, is absolutely admired by Mr. Du, and he also wants to work with Snapdragon. He has never been in contact with Snapdragon. He is a little bit like Mr. Du and Snapdragon... How do you say that, you probably don't agree with them."
"Don't you think so?" Du Qiu nodded slightly and said to the guest: "I'll bother Secretary Cai this time. I'll invite you to have dinner with your girlfriend if you have the chance in the future."
"How can I be embarrassed? This is my job, it should be."
After Cai Xinghuo left, Du Qiu glanced at the sofa where Yang Fan had sat before, smiled slightly, put his feet on the coffee table, leaned against the back of the chair in the posture of Ge You lying, and looked at the college entrance examination materials with a relaxed expression.
Don't think so, that's right!
Snapdragon has risen too quickly, subverting traditional business rules and public perception. As the founder and technical core, Du Qiu has neither awesome family background nor a strong educational background. He lacks the two most successful factors that the general public valued most in the 1990s, making those who have never come into contact with him at a loss. When humans face things that cannot be judged, most people choose to ignore or wait and see. Therefore, what Cai Xinghuo said is not optimistic is the mainstream view in the current higher education system. As for the resistance and hostility that Yang Fan mentioned, it should be the overreaction of a small number of people after being incited by the media. With the continuous development of Snapdragon, it will disappear soon.
In fact, to be honest, Yang Fan is the one who disagrees with Du Qiu the most. When he signed a work contract, he immediately played the trick of driving tigers and swallowing wolves, trying to seize control of Snapdragon. It was not until he suffered a loss that he changed from indifference to attention under Liu Yunlai's reminder. He was eventually impressed by Du Qiu's technical ability and overall view of the times, and never made any trouble again.
Although Yang Fan made many very important contributions after joining Snapdragon, such as establishing a complete management system, promoting the construction of software parks, and inspiring ideas for smart cities, Du Qiu was skeptical about many of his remarks and thought twice before acting.
For example, when he was just suggesting to take the high school entrance examination and accept recruitment, Du Qiu secretly thought that this was his concern for his reputation, because there are many jokes in the outside world such as "college students work for elementary school students" and "study abroad to work for those who are trafficking abroad". If Du Qiu went to college and got a diploma, this argument would naturally disappear.
For example, Yang Fan suggested that the college entrance examination scores be lower. In Du Qiu's opinion, it was probably a psychological cause similar to "I am not as good as you, but the college entrance examination is better than you". Because the reason is too far-fetched, whether it is attacked by the media as an example to high school education or the college entrance examination system, it is a cloud in the sky and it is irrelevant.
Isn’t it a waste of talent if you don’t get a high score if you satisfy your ambition to be a top student?
Therefore, Du Qiu did not intend to adopt Yang Fan's suggestion because his motivation for taking the college entrance examination was very simple. One was to satisfy his mother's feelings, and the other was to pretend to be a fool by himself. Because in China, no stage of life is more eye-catching and memorable than the college entrance examination. Moreover, he had no idea of going to college. If he wanted to go to school, he had already agreed to Professor Pan's special invitation from Peking University during the Internet Conference.
Of course, Du Qiu would not lower his evaluation of Yang Fan because of these small actions. On the contrary, he once again raised the importance of Yang Fan because this guy relied on his memory to detect and analyze from dozens of media reports that someone secretly manipulated the media to deal with Snapdragon, and then immediately made corresponding arrangements. This is very critical, indicating that Snapdragon's development has entered the deep water area and has begun to touch the interests of many big zombies. The road ahead is full of thorns and must be dealt with carefully.
Yang Fan is very capable and has a strong desire to control. He often consciously or unconsciously influences other people's thinking and induces them to do things according to his ideas...
You can use this feature to deal with the employees below. As for yourself, of course I respect Xie Bumin...
The college entrance examination materials sent by Cai Xinghuo were very comprehensive, from 1977 to 1995. At the beginning, Du Qiu just flipped through them casually, browsing and thinking, but not long after, his expression became serious because he discovered a gray rhino that he had always ignored.
Gray rhino is a professional term in the financial field, referring to those high-probability risk events that are often prompted but not fully valued. The gray rhino discovered by Du Qiu has nothing to do with risk events, but is related to historical events - university enrollment expansion!
The expansion of university enrollment was a policy that was only implemented in 1999, which was a bit far from 1995. Moreover, Du Qiu didn't know much about the enrollment policies in the 1990s, so although he often went to and from universities, he never noticed this. It was not until now that he saw the specific data that he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity that was crucial to Snapdragon.
In 1995, all junior college and undergraduate students in the country were admitted to only 923,000 people...
When I took the college entrance examination in 2008, I admitted nearly 3 million undergraduate programs nationwide...
This is a huge group that is growing rapidly!
This is a perfect group to warm the ground for the smart city pilot zone!
Before the concept of smart city was proposed, Snapdragon's development was only related to Du Qiu and the company's employees, but after that, Snapdragon's interests were tied to the development of Yuncheng. The better Yuncheng develops, the more benefits Snapdragon will gain. The key to Yuncheng's development is in the experimental zone.
Last week, Yuncheng invited experts from the China Urban Planning and Design Institute to investigate. In the preliminary research report, the experts pointed out a difficult problem to solve, that is, Yuncheng is too large and has too few populations, nominally 4 million. In fact, the urban population is only about 1 million, and the remaining 3 million are scattered in towns and rural areas in the jurisdiction. Specifically, near the Majiaqiao Reservoir, there are less than 2,000 households on about 25 square kilometers of land, and the population resources are seriously insufficient.
According to experts' estimates, if the pilot zone wants to develop rapidly, the population of the core area must be at least 80,000, but at present, all netizens in China cannot gather 80,000, so it is impossible to support the Internet companies attracted by Snapdragon and Snapdragon alone. Yuncheng has no other companies that can attract a large number of middle and high-tech talents. Unless the government engages in forced migration, this problem is unsolvable.
But now, Du Qiu has discovered a solution without any intention of planting willows, which is to build a university town three years in advance!
Where is the most concentrated talent in a city? University...
Which people are the easiest to migrate in a city? College students...
In a city, which community can gather popularity the fastest? University Town...
After the expansion of university enrollment in 1999, many university towns sprung up like mushrooms across the country. These projects were well-known and bad. The good construction really improved the teaching environment and scientific research atmosphere, and promoted the development of surrounding areas. As for the poor construction, it can only be described as a lyric by folk singer Zhou Yunpeng: Tens of thousands of youths are used to warm the land for nearby real estate.
To put it bluntly, a university town is nominally supporting education, but actually a real estate development project. Therefore, in the early 21st century, many cities expanded outward and planned to build new districts, they would first build university towns nearby, so that the majority of students would first warm up the land, and then use educational resources to attract developers. The developers used school district concept to attract leeks, and leeks used food, clothing, housing and transportation to cultivate business districts. In this way, a prosperous new urban area was built. The most successful examples were Jiangning University Town in Jinling and Xiaoguweidao University Town in Yangcheng.
Overall, the expansion of university enrollment is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, such as improving the quality of the people, enhancing scientific research strength, etc. However, the policy was introduced in 1999 and was too vigorous, so the enrollment was expanded by 48% that year, resulting in the inability to keep up with the hardware facilities and supporting resources of colleges and universities, resulting in the lack of dormitories after admission, poor students cannot afford tuition fees, insufficient faculty, and declining teaching quality.
As one of the famous science and education bases in China, Yuncheng has dozens of colleges and universities, with nearly 300,000 faculty and staff and students in total, so there is no need to worry about the source of students. Moreover, there are still three years left before 1999. After the construction is completed, it just happened to expand enrollment, which not only solved the population problem of the new district, but also solved the supporting problems in the future. Du Qiu can also use the surrounding land for commercial development, benefiting the country, the people, and the people, which is perfect.
Wait, since I want to do it, why not make a big deal? Someone manipulated public opinion to make the elites in the higher education system unhappy with me. Why don’t I do it by doing it with the other person, and also manipulate public opinion to promote the expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities in advance, turning the entire system upside down...
