Chapter 1146 I Want Age Discrimination

Compared with the first two points, the third point is more prominent, and it is also an important problem that Ziweixing needs to participate in to solve.

"The phenomenon of seniority ranking is too serious." Liang Jing sighed, feeling very emotional, "The older ones with high status are planning how to spend their money every day. It is easy for them to get funding. A large part of their energy is not doing scientific research, but Find a way to spend the money. Young people are different, they are constantly applying for funding, but they can’t get it. A large part of their energy is not doing scientific research, but constantly looking for funding.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "On the one hand, there are endless flowers, and on the other hand, there are no flowers."

Liang Jingdao: "The approval of scientific research funds mainly depends on the honor of the applicant, as well as the social relationship and personal background. The project itself is not important. This is the most critical point. Ziweixing must improve it."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's right, this is also the reason why I insist on having the right to approve funds. It is to avoid the academic atmosphere in the system. Doing scientific research, especially high-end scientific research, is age-discriminated."

Liang Jing twitched her lips, "Age discrimination..."

Zhou Buqi glanced at her, "Don't be unconvinced, I know you are a student of Academician Ni, but at Academician Ni's age, can his technical level keep up with the trend of today's times?"

Liang Jing shook her head lightly, "I'm not unconvinced. Teacher Ni knows that when we were making Ark chips, he was the vice president in charge of marketing and has left the R\u0026D post."

Zhou Buqi smiled, quite satisfied, "Yes, research and development is not an old man's business. Even century physicists like Einstein, Planck, and Yang Zhenning made their greatest achievements when they were young. Older It’s gone. This is a decline that humanity cannot resist.”

Liang Jingruo realized something, "When we approve projects, should we focus on young professors?"

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "That's for sure! The more high-end the project, the more you have to concentrate on it. As you get older, your energy declines. Especially after becoming famous, you have to face the media, school and other aspects of interpersonal relationships. , the energy invested in technology research and development is very limited. In contrast, young talents with simple social relationships are more tenacious, more devoted, and more focused."

There is another layer of meaning, which he didn't say clearly.

When a person is successful, don't praise him for icing on the cake, but criticize him vigilantly;

This is Zhou Buqi's consistent "different" philosophy.

When others turn to the left, he turns to the right.

Many aura-shrouded scientists can easily get funding and get a lot of money from the state and schools to do research. At this time, Ziweixing rushed up to give money again, but he didn't care at all.

Backed by the country, who cares about the funding of a company? Maybe they also dislike the stink of copper in the funds of capitalists.

Return on investment is too low.

Giving grants to young scholars and professors is different.

They have no reputation, no qualifications, they cannot apply for funding despite all difficulties, they have great ambitions but no opportunities, and they cannot get money from the country and schools... At this time, Ziweixing came to help.

At this time, young scientists must be grateful.

Once successful, Ziweixing will be the noble person they hit, and the relationship between the two parties will be further deepened. He may even give up his status as a professor, withdraw from the system, and join Ziwei Star.

Ziweixing’s Wang Jian, Yang Zhenkun and others were also members of the system back then. They were all university professors. Later, they left the system and entered a market-oriented enterprise.

Liang Jing asked, "What are we going to do?"

Zhou Buqi managed so many technical experts under his command, he was more experienced, and said decisively: "First, reject all scientists over the age of 60, no matter what their titles are, whether they are academicians or doctoral supervisors, stay away from them." point!"

Liang Jing froze for a moment, "One size fits all?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, one size fits all!"

"What if some elderly scientist actually has a good project?"

"There are good projects, and they are not short of money. There is a country and a school to support them. There is no need for Ziwei Star to join in the fun. We are just an enterprise. In terms of financial strength, we are not as good as the government and schools. Good steel must be used wisely. .Besides, I don’t think an old man in his 60s can make any technological achievements.”

Liang Jing curled her lips, thinking that this big boss is really age-discriminatory.

You are young, you are great?

Can you embrace the young and discriminate against the old?

"Old people can't make any scientific and technological achievements, but in today's world, the right to speak is in the hands of a few old people. Many major scientific and technological projects can only be organized by elderly scientists. Let a few young people lead the organization, Do they have the prestige to convince the public? Do they have the influence to recruit talents?"

Liang Jing couldn't help questioning that she had followed Academician Ni all these years to work around for domestic independent and controllable operating systems and chips.

Zhou Buqi shook his head and explained: "The country's way of thinking is from big to small. First, there is a big concept, a big project, and then it is divided into countless small topics. Enterprises, especially Internet companies, the way of thinking is from small to small. To big. Start with a few small topics, and then organize them into a big project.”

Just like the "Magic Reform Helo Project", this is also a big concept, but it is at the theoretical level. The implementation level is from small to large, take your time, first make a few experimental samples, and test the water.

If the country came to implement the "Magic Reform Helo Plan", it would be completely different. If the policy is issued, it will be hard to recover. All kinds of infrastructure projects were directly launched in various places, and various magic transformation Helo buildings were planned to be built. Dozens of magic transformation projects started at the same time, and it was done. In this mode, there must be one or even a few great gods in the scientific and technological world to control the field, and they must be at the academician level.

Liang Jing didn't seem to understand.

Zhou Buqi gave a more vivid example, saying: "The logistics of an enterprise starts from a city area, and gradually becomes a county, a city, a province, and then spreads all over the country. The country does logistics, directly It is to establish a logistics group, starting from the whole country, and then to the provinces, cities, counties, and townships."

"Oh yes!"

It was only then that Liang Jing suddenly realized, and by analogy, she immediately understood Boss Zhou's investment philosophy.

It is not possible to cooperate with various well-known academicians. They are taking on national projects, and the logic of the country is to confirm and then confirm. The logic of an enterprise is uncertain, no matter what it does, it is full of unknowns. It is necessary to start small, find young scientists, it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes, invest a few more, and accumulate water into a river. There are more topics and more projects, and gradually it becomes a big project.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Didn't we say before that the most important thing in chip research is to allow failure. This is exactly the opposite of deterministic thinking. Young teams will lose less if they fail, and we can afford it."

Liang Jing took a deep breath, "Well, I see, our focus is on those young professors."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "I will simply set a standard for you, and you will discuss the specific plan with the technical committee later. First, those over 60 years old will not vote; professors between the ages of 45 and 60 must be strictly reviewed , do a detailed background check on the subject; professors aged 30-45 are our key support targets, and we must help them as much as possible.”

Liang Jing nodded, "Well, professors in this age group are the most difficult group to get research funding."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's just that they are also the biggest potential stocks, and they are the best investment targets. Ziweixing will invest 500 million yuan in this integrated circuit research center in Tsinghua University every year. Our main investment target is A group of professors aged 30-45. As long as the project is about the same, you can give money without excessive review, so as not to cause too much psychological burden on them, we allow failure.”

Liang Jing was convinced.

This time, he recognized Boss Zhou's ambition.

He is no worse than himself!

The difference is that my efforts in the past few years, from the operating system to the chip and then to the domestic software, have been a hammer here and a stick here, without any boundaries and no rules. All my efforts have been in vain.

Boss Zhou is different. He has a clear goal and a clear execution strategy. Following him, it seems that my mood has been broadened and my thinking has become clear at once. I am no longer as confused as in the past few years, and there is hope on the way forward.

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "There is no shortage of geniuses in Tsinghua University. There should be some people who have been rated as professors under the age of 30, just like Dr. Wang Jian and Dr. Yang Zhenkun of our company. They were all 20 when they were in the school. I will become a professor next year. For this kind of group, we must pay special attention to it.”

"What plan?" Liang Jing concealed her inner excitement, feeling that she had finally chosen the right career direction at this moment.

Zhou Buqi said: "Give money unconditionally!"

"ah?"

Liang Jing froze for a moment.

Zhou Buqi said: "For the group of people who became professors in their twenties, no matter what the scientific research topic they apply for, even if it is to study perpetual motion machines, they have to pay directly! The money will be distributed within 24 hours We know that they will fail, but we still have to give them money and give them the opportunity to experience failure! In a word, we have to go against the system! The system values ​​age, status and industry qualifications, and we focus on those who don’t Young people with status, no fame, and no qualifications. The younger you are, the more you need to take care of them. A failed young man is far more valuable than a failed old man. Age discrimination in the system is discrimination against young people. Our age discrimination is discrimination against the elderly."

Liang Jing smiled wryly, "What kind of discrimination, there's no need to say it so harshly."

Zhou Buqi said: "If you say it badly, you will have a deep memory, so that you will not be disturbed by human feelings and forget the basic principles when the project funds are distributed in the future. Great kindness is ruthless. In the face of such a major event related to the country's destiny, ruthlessness is the greatest. Sensitive!"
