Professor Deng Xihua came to see him? The three roommates all thought that Cheng Ran was the most popular among the undergraduates of this year, so Professor Deng came to see him to talk about academic matters. But Cheng Ran knew that this was not the case. Deng Xihua had many expert titles and had a say in the upper echelons. He was also the vice president of the School of Computer Science and Technology of Central South University of Science and Technology. Cheng Ran felt that what he planned to do in the future at Central South University of Science and Technology would affect the interests of some people and the reactions would be unpredictable. If he could attract such an ally, it would be of great benefit.
So Cheng Ran waited patiently for Deng Xihua. Deng Xihua in front of the podium patiently answered the students who came to ask questions. Deng Xihua's algorithm analysis course covers undergraduates from freshman to senior year at different levels. This course taught to freshmen is the only one in China. At this time, some universities in China's computer majors will offer algorithm courses only in the junior year. Some people don’t know what algorithms are after four years of study. Many people who want to get in touch with algorithms at this time can basically only rely on self-study.
Deng Xihua used the algorithm tutorial for freshmen at Princeton University in the United States. He used his own experience and combined it with American courses to lay the foundation for this introductory algorithm course in the freshman year. This course actually mainly covers the key points of algorithms and data structures that programmers need to know, and introduces basic data types, algorithms and data structures. At Princeton University, it is mainly aimed at freshmen and sophomores.
Deng Xihua was anxious as he saw the gap between China and the rest of the country. He decided to introduce Princeton's methods to Central South University of Science and Technology. This course focuses on learning various algorithms in the implementation and testing of practical applications. The core concept is that algorithms are easiest to understand during implementation and testing.
Deng Xihua used C language as the main part of the lecture to explain the application and scientific performance analysis of the implementation. It covers basic iterable data types, sorting and searching algorithms. The course is taught to sophomores, and basically allows students to understand the basic principles of algorithms.
The students from Central South University of Science and Technology are very studious and kept asking questions to Deng Xihua. It can also be seen that although Deng Xihua looks a little tired, he is enjoying the process very much.
This is called great hope.
After Deng Xihua finished his part and left, Cheng Ran also picked up the book and went to his office.
Cheng Ran knocked on the door and pushed it open as Deng Xihua asked him to come in. Deng Xihua was sitting there while the teaching assistant refilled his large water cup and then left.
Deng Xihua picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said, "Are you used to your study life? Academician Li told me that he has secured a little star for our School of Computer Science. I'm really worried that I won't be able to take good care of you."
This is said in a friendly way, but it does not necessarily mean that there is no gap.
Cheng Ran said, "It's OK, but I feel a little homesick when I'm away from home. Fortunately, my roommates are very nice and help each other in life. University is as interesting as I imagined."
It can be seen that Deng Xihua had a good impression of Cheng Ran's words. He was not the kind of spoiled child he had imagined. He was more interested in him and said, "At Central South University of Science and Technology, children like you are destined to be the focus of attention, but you should also have seen that it is not much easier than high school. Moreover, universities are diverse, and everyone's learning ability is also different at this time. Some find suitable majors, and their abilities and enthusiasm can really make others far behind. In this process, some people rise and some sink, which is normal. When doing research, it doesn't matter whether you are fast or slow. The important thing is to seek, maintain a skeptical spirit, and don't be a yes-man who follows knowledge blindly. Maybe in some corner, you can find the shining point of a new path."
Cheng Ran said, "Teacher, your words are too profound. I can't understand them at the moment."
"You don't have to flatter me in disguise. Just ask my students. Which one of them said this without leaving any clues? But is it useful? He will still fail the course he deserves to fail."
Cheng Ran looked at Deng Xihua in astonishment and found that although the latter said so, a smile still appeared on the corner of his mouth when he was drinking tea with Chui Fulu. It seemed that he was not as distant as before.
Deng Xihua finished his tea and closed the lid of the teacup. He covered the teacup with his hands, as if supporting his upper body, and said, "It seems right to ask you to speak at the freshman ceremony. You spoke very well. There are many graduates from our University of Science and Technology in your Fulong Company, right?"
Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, then he understood the hidden meaning in Deng Xihua's words. Perhaps if it weren't for the previous conversation between him and Deng Xihua, Deng Xihua would not have pointed out that he thought Cheng Ran's speech was too mature and that perhaps the HKUST students had provided him with the idea behind it.
It is no wonder that Deng Xihua's previous "cordially" greeting, as if he was the one being taken care of, was no wonder. In Deng Xihua's previous understanding, for a person like himself with a Fulong background, who was one of the few employment options for graduates of USTC, perhaps as the vice president, he would have to go through a process like today, which he might not be willing to do, and sometimes it was just a political consideration.
As expected, I am more interested in Cheng Feiyang.
How could there be so much to talk about with a freshman? Deng Xihua took a moment to change the subject and said, "Your father went to Japan to inspect some Japanese companies. Some professors and experts from our university were invited to go with him. I had a conflict in my schedule this time, so I didn't go. I still felt quite regretful afterwards. I heard from some of our professors that your father made a summary and circulated it in the IT industry. Many people have read the written materials. Your father's inspection in Japan not only touched him personally, but also had an impact on domestic companies and related systems after returning home..."
It's my dad again...
Cheng Ran really wanted to say, Dad, have you ever thought about how hard it was for me in college under your shadow
Cheng Ran took a deep breath and nodded, "The winter of the Internet has caused the winter of the IT industry. This winter is not over yet. How to get through it does not depend on when it is over, but when we are ready to adapt to the extreme survival methods.
Japan is a mirror. Since the 1990s, it has experienced low growth, zero growth, and even negative growth for ten consecutive years. However, Japanese companies can still survive and develop tenaciously in the long winter. This tenacious endurance does not lie in the company's system, because the company's system will be rigid and will lag behind the times. It is not about decision-making, because some decisions are fatal, and it is impossible for someone to always make the right decision. The reason why companies can overcome difficulties is precisely due to the diligence of their internal personnel, their patience in difficulties, and their spirit of finding joy in hardship. This spirit of Japan is worth learning. God rewards hard work, and success in everything cannot escape these four words.
However, the three difficulties faced by Japanese companies in the new century are also real, namely, overemployment, overequipment and overdebt. Solving these three oversupply problems will involve institutional reform, structural and industrial restructuring, transition to the development of knowledge-based innovative industries, and the cultivation of core management capabilities and the shift to speed management.
In the past, Japan's corporate system allowed companies to maintain stability during the cold winter and helped them overcome difficulties. However, in the new situation, this system will in turn constrain this transformation and make reform difficult. In the increasingly severe international trade competition in the future, this system will become a stumbling block for the Japanese economy and will inevitably drag down the development of the Japanese economy. Therefore, in the future international competition, not changing the old system and sticking to the old ways will be the biggest source of failure. Our country and domestic companies should learn from this."
"This is also a case study for my country's IT industry. The IT industry's cold winter is a crisis, but also a great opportunity. Joining the WTO this year, tariffs are zero, which is a very cruel thing. Our IT companies lack core technology and strong capital. The local IT industry will move to the lower end of the global IT industry chain. It is a fantasy to rely solely on marketization to participate in international competition. The government should take the lead and the country should invest resources. At the same time, domestic capital should try to form a certain bubble in the local IT industry. This will give innovative small businesses room to survive. It is necessary to form a living soil for innovative small companies. Referring to the experience of Silicon Valley, small companies are actually the source of innovation. Keeping innovation is the capital for us to fight against foreign IT multinational companies. By doing this, China's IT industry can break out of this winter. Taking the cold winter as a test, we may be able to seize the strategic turning point."
Think tank is a term that actually refers to professors and experts in the country who can report to higher authorities, submit reports and use various channels to influence policy making by state agencies.
Deng Xihua in front of us, like Academician Li Taihang, is one of them.
What Cheng Ran said could have some influence on Deng Xihua. The power that Deng Xihua could have in the decision-making circle was not what he had now.
Deng Xihua listened and tapped the table with his hand, "Continue."
Cheng Ran came to his senses and shook his head, "No more."
"No more..." Deng Xihua seemed to be a little reluctant to say more. He raised his head and stared at him straight in the eyes. After a moment, he said, "If this is your opinion... I think it's very well said."
