Chapter 392 Summer Internship
Guanghua Building, Student Affairs Office.
Although it was about to have a holiday, Chen Qiaoshan was still called by the counselor.
As soon as I entered Guanghua Building and passed by the notification bar in the hall, there was news of Bill Gates' visit hanging on it.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little gloating, and the trip of the richest man might not be very pleasant.
Although the domestic anti-monopoly law is still a draft, not long ago, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce gave an anti-monopoly list, and Microsoft ranked first.
Microsoft has been very injured in recent years and has just escaped the fate of being split. In the past two years, it has been repeatedly subject to antitrust sanctions from the EU. In the first quarter of this year, Microsoft spent 2.5 billion US dollars due to litigation and judicial compensation, which is twice its profit.
Just before Gates came to China, the Linux Summit Forum just ended.
In May, the Linux public service platform was launched. Both were jointly led by various ministries and commissions. Participants include international manufacturers such as Intel, HP, and IBM. The meaning of pressure is obvious.
To put it bluntly, Bill Gates is here to do government PR this time.
Chen Qiaoshan did not pay attention to these old news, and he knew more than others.
For example, Gates Melinda Fund signed the Liu stock god in China as a fund manager this year. It has a principal of 100 million US dollars and earned 1.4 billion US dollars from China in ten years. Compared with donations, the ability to make money in this fund has always been ignored.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Chen Qiaoshan. What he cares more about is the cooperation between MSN and Maopu.
MSN is not a simple social platform nowadays. Search services are the focus of its business. Just like Google's investment in Tianya, the threat of both to a messy future cannot be underestimated.
Chen Qiaoshan knew in his heart that this was a sign that the Internet landscape was about to change.
With the participation of these giants, the forum will surely usher in a leap, with the number of users jumping from the millions and rapidly expanding to tens of millions. It is only a matter of time before over 100 millions are over.
The emergence of disruptors not only magnifies risks but also promotes market development.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that even if there was no shortage of funds, with the help of MSN and Google, it was not easy to suppress Maopu and Tianya.
He also understood that it was too early to worry about these things now, and it was imperative to find a new home for Qingshan Forum first. Without funds, everything is empty talk.
...
When he arrived at the Student Affairs Office, Zhou Sheng was already a little impatient. When he saw Chen Qiaoshan coming in, he scolded him and said, "What's wrong, isn't it easy to invite you here?"
"Teacher Zhou, I haven't delayed for a moment since I received the notice." Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to delay. He didn't know the purpose of finding him to come over. It's already summer vacation. Anything should have been solved long ago, and it's impossible to delay until today.
Chen Qiaoshan suddenly remembered that there was an acquaintance in the Grade Office. Wang Qian was an assistant counselor and had informed him a lot before. He hadn't contacted him for a long time. "Teacher Zhou, where has Wang Qian been? Why haven't I seen her in a long time?"
Zhou Sheng glanced at him and said angrily: "Why, I want her to send you news. Wang Qian has already been admitted to graduate school and resigned from the School Office last month."
"No, isn't Wang Qian a part-time graduate student?" Chen Qiaoshan was a little confused, and he seemed to have never heard of it in his impression.
"Who did you hear that she is a graduate student?" Zhou Sheng asked, and before Chen Qiaoshan answered, he continued: "Wang Qian is a student in the postgraduate degree. How about it? Our college has a lot of places to pass the postgraduate degree. If you have any ideas, you can also report to the School Office. I will definitely open the back door for you."
Chen Qiaoshan shook his head repeatedly. Although the student-level education and graduate school requirements are low, he has to work in the Student-level office for two years. It is not good to have that time to do something, and he is not interested at all. "You should give me aside. If I have this time, I will not skip classes."
"Hey, I said Chen Qiaoshan, don't be ignorant of it." Zhou Sheng was a little disappointed. In his heart, Chen Qiaoshan was a special student.
Zhou Sheng is very optimistic about Chen Qiaoshan. Although this guy is not very careful in his studies, he is the one who has the most outstanding students at Peking University. On the contrary, the ones that can make trouble are extreme.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Old Zhou, you are also a tough guy. As far as I know, the grades of academic and graduate school must be more than 70%. Just like me, I can only be at the bottom, and I don't have the chance to be admitted to graduate school."
Zhou Sheng was no longer angry. Although the academic warning storm at the beginning of the year was resolved, Chen Qiaoshan's grades were indeed not very good. His 3.0 GPA was at the bottom of the school.
"I'm so surprised. What do you do on your daily basis? Let's not talk about your grades. Look at your attendance rate, which is notoriously low in Guanghua. Can't you take some time to attend classes?"
Chen Qiaoshan almost laughed out loud. The teacher was quite interesting. He asked the students to take time to attend class. If this spread, it would probably be another fun.
Zhou Sheng is good to him, and Chen Qiaoshan is not ungrateful, but he will definitely not be able to attend class with peace of mind, and that is not suitable for him.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't know what to say, but when he saw that he kept silent, Zhou Sheng didn't do anything, "Then tell me, what do you do when you skip classes? I'll ask your class committee for inquiries. No one knows. You are doing a good job in keeping confidential?"
Chen Qiaoshan was no longer angry, "Old Zhou, you came to me today. You shouldn't be scolding me for skipping classes?"
"Don't smile, it's summer vacation soon, I wish you guys got out right away." Zhou Sheng had a headache. It was difficult to do a job in school, especially Chen Qiaoshan's thorny head. "Okay, let's go back and count the attendance rate, and let's talk about the serious matter first."
Zhou Sheng took out a document from his desk and said seriously: "Chen Qiaoshan, congratulations on becoming Goldman Sachs Asia's summer intern this year."
"Old Zhou, aren't you kidding?" Chen Qiaoshan looked surprised. What's the point of this?
He has never attended Goldman Sachs' lectures, nor has he applied for a summer internship. Now he tells him to get an internship opportunity, isn't this a joke?
Zhou Sheng didn't say much, but just handed over the documents in his hand.
Chen Qiaoshan snatched it and looked carefully from beginning to end. He couldn't help but be stunned. This was indeed a summer internship notice from Goldman Sachs.
"How could I joke with you about such an important thing? Congratulations!" Zhou Sheng finally showed a smile on his face. As a member of Guanghua, he naturally knew what Goldman Sachs' internship position meant.
When Chen Qiaoshan was not elected to Goldman Sachs, Zhou Sheng was still a little disappointed, but now he was extremely shocked.
Summer interns and Goldman Sachs are completely different. The former has a limited number of places every year. Applicants have to compete with students across the country, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. From the start of the application, they need to go through several rounds of screening. All the ones that can be left behind are elites.
Zhou Sheng was full of curiosity. He could not imagine that a freshman would have such an encounter.
Chen Qiaoshan was also surprised that this summer internship was inexplicably wonderful. If Zhou Sheng hadn't emphasized it repeatedly, he would have thought the other party was joking.
The matter was obvious, and Chen Qiaoshan had to believe that he had indeed received an internship opportunity that was enviable.
90% of the full-time offers from major top investment banks are given to summer interns. After the internship, the list of jobs for next year has basically been locked.
The competition for summer internship opportunities for top investment banks is very fierce. Once you get the entry ticket, it basically means you have entered this industry with one step.
Investment banks are a very small circle and can also share resources with each other.
Whether you get a summer internship at Goldman Sachs or an opportunity to get a big and big motorcycle motorcycle company, you will receive an interbank invitation at the beginning of the internship training. As long as you leave the contact information, you will receive several interview invitations from other investment banks before you get the return offer after the internship.
With an internship opportunity, you can get the final appearance of several top investment banks, which is an opportunity that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Of course, internship opportunities are very rare, and you need to make an appointment in advance one year in advance. In other words, students who are interested in investment banking must start applying after graduating from their sophomore year, and they are competing with the entire Asia-Pacific region, which is easy to imagine.
Among the nine investment banks, only Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase will give sophomore internships opportunities, while the rest will only recruit junior graduates. Even if Chen Qiaoshan applies now, the internship period can only be during the summer vacation of the sophomore year, which is obviously unreasonable. "Why me?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhou Sheng showed a constipated expression. From the moment he received the news, countless thoughts turned into his mind, but he was still confused.
