Before the Youth League Committee notified the Student Union, it called the instructor. This time, Jia Zhengsheng's tone and attitude were so humble that Shi Jiaxun almost doubted whether the person who had previously talked to him about students focusing on studying and even asked him, a counselor, not to get involved, was the same person
"Teacher Shi, our Youth League Committee didn't consider it very carefully last time, so I asked you to go back and wait for news..."
Looking at Jia Zhengsheng who looked sincere, Shi Jiaxun felt that something was wrong. Didn’t you say that last time
"Now the news has come out. After our internal discussion, your club's application has been approved. We have always respected the wishes of students and hope to enrich their daily lives..."
Not only Jia Zhengsheng, but also other people from the Youth League Committee were there. In the end, Shi Jiaxun was almost escorted out the door. When he was seeing him off, the people behind him looked at him eagerly. This was probably the first time he felt such treatment.
Shi Jiaxun walked down the stairs and looked at the flower bed next to him. A few days ago, when he also walked out of the Yifu Building, he sat in front of this step and looked up at the clouds for a long time.
And now, Shi Jiaxun kicked towards the flower bed.
Be proud of yourself!
Then the person who came from behind the flower bed looked at him in surprise. Shi Jiaxun took his foot back in dismay, stretched it out again, looked up and looked around, "Why is it so long now?"
"My legs are numb..."
…
"Lao Shi is amazing..."
"Teacher Shi, no matter what we say... you still have the most face..."
"Before, Lao Shi, you told us that the Youth League Committee said it was not suitable... but you kept it a secret, maybe you didn't want us to be disappointed... but in the end, they still bought into your idea out of respect for you. No matter what we said, Lao Shi, you are very steady and practical... I think this way of doing things is a good example. You are a counselor, so this is what we should learn..."
Shi Jiaxun received extraordinary treatment in Room 409. He was asked to sit in the front seat, someone lit a cigarette for him and said all kinds of boastful things, saying it was free. Someone was about to come over to give him a leg massage, but Shi Jiaxun threw the person away and made a face as if he was going to hit him, which caused laughter.
These little brats! Shi Jiaxun felt helpless and amused, as if he had returned to the days of studying. In fact, Shi Jiaxun also knew that the passion of today's people would gradually fade away as college life progressed. The reason why he was still running around for them was actually because he hoped that one day when they recalled the past, they would not think that they had just done something meaningless, but would remember that there was a counselor like him who had affirmed their attempts.
"I met a senior in the cafeteria before, and he told me that he heard that our Tianxing Society had been approved for the application. Our counselor is so awesome. Those juniors and seniors have never seen such a thing in all their years at HKUST. This is the first case..."
Because it was the Youth League Committee that called Shi Jiaxun to inform him of this matter, everyone thought it was Shi Jiaxun's credit. At this time, he was surrounded by people, so Shi Jiaxun certainly did not deny it. Moreover, to be honest, he felt pretty good.
I just felt like something was not right. Wasn’t I on the opposite side of them? How come I helped them apply by mistake and they even approved it in the end
So now, the Tianxing Society is about to be officially established with his help and promotion.
I feel pretty happy... What am I so happy about
The student with the greatest potential in research in the class has become the club president. Who knows if it will affect his grades in the future. Why am I still so happy
Shi Jiaxun felt like he had become a walking contradiction in Escher's painting.
While everyone was excitedly discussing the establishment of the association, Shi Jiaxun was standing on the balcony of the dormitory smoking. Cheng Ran saw that he seemed to be hesitant to talk to him. Cheng Ran walked up to him and spoke to him alone on the balcony, "Thank you, Mr. Shi. I can finally be the president with peace of mind now."
Shi Jiaxun stared at Cheng Ran, "When you received the highest entrance scholarship from HKUST, who did you negotiate with..."
Shi Jiaxun was certainly not deaf, and he had more or less heard some of the statements about this matter from the teacher circle. Some of them were very mysterious, saying that a leader had gone to the Youth League Committee, Jia Zhengsheng had been criticized, and that there was also a statement from the Institute of Computer Science and Technology... In short, the outline of the matter seemed to suggest that an unpredictable yet suffocating storm was brewing.
It was not a kind of energy that a low-level counselor like him could understand, but his overall feeling was there, Jia Zhengsheng's arrogant attitude at first and respectful later, and the way other members of the Youth League Committee looked at him. They all existed.
Of course, this kind of thing was only spread among teachers, and as the instructor of the association in question, some of the news reached his ears. Ordinary students were, of course, unaware of it.
If the rumors were true, then why would such a thing happen? Shi Jiaxun didn't think it was because of him. At least he couldn't let the Institute of Computer Science and Technology speak out.
Could it be that the sophomores who wanted to set up the Tianxing Society had some channels and connections? First of all, it seemed unlikely. He knew those sophomores more or less, but he had never heard of anyone with such ability, and the motivation was not enough.
Then the only suspicion fell on the candidate for the president of the association. The matter was for Tianxing Society, and the president of Tianxing Society... was Cheng Ran.
“HKUST Dean Chen Hsiu-ping Chen…”
Chen Xiuping, the Dean of Academic Affairs of USTC, is also the assistant to Executive Vice President Pan Jiawen... If such a person speaks for Cheng Ran, it will also carry a lot of weight.
Shi Jiaxun smiled and said, "Don't thank me for this. I think the reason why it was approved by the higher-ups is largely because you are a freshman representative. This is a sign of trust in you. Do a good job."
"The support that Teacher Shi gives us is the greatest support."
Shi Jiaxun turned his head to look at him. Cheng Ran just faced the school outside the fence. No one spoke to each other. For the first time, Shi Jiaxun felt that his student was not that simple...
Did I find a treasure, or did I hide a time bomb
…
The air in north London in November is chilly. Zhao Qing and his team have been stationed in Cambridge for nearly half a month. Before this trip, he traveled back and forth between China and the UK many times to sort out industries in the UK.
In the territory of Tianxing Holdings, this place is called the Atlantic Theater.
When the Nasdaq cold wave came and the global technology bubble burst, Tianxing Holdings purchased two companies in the UK. Both companies were small companies, more like workshops.
The privately held design firm, a team of nine, specializes in signal processing, wireless and multimedia applications.
The other is called Allen Software, which is smaller, with only five people. It is a micro company specializing in multi-core debugging technology.
Both companies are small companies. Zhao Qing was very surprised when they were listed in the acquisition list at the beginning. However, since the team came to the UK, made contacts and conducted research, until the final acquisition was completed, Zhao Qing realized that although these technology companies are small, they actually have outstanding achievements in specializing in a certain area, and some can even be said to be groundbreaking.
The so-called pioneering means that they are the first in the same field and set a precedent ahead of everyone else.
For example, Allen Software has a unique technology called ASPEX, which provides a complete development environment including an integrated, context-sensitive editor, build tools, source code version control management, ASPEX debugger, code generation tools, simulation and other necessary software development tools.
Previously, Allen's basic business was to provide development and debugging solutions for system chip design, which lasted for many years. It can be said that it is the best in the world in this regard.
After Zhao Qing came into contact with Cheng Ran, he felt that he had understood his strategy. This small company, although its technology is limited, often holds the industry's throat. There is only a little they can do, but that little bit is also part of a gear in the entire industrial chain.
The key is that the two companies did not spend much, a total of $1.2 million, and of course some incentive equity was left to the team to avoid a reduction in the company's efficiency after receiving the money. In this cold winter when Nasdaq technology stocks burst, this acquisition came unusually smoothly, and even had the flavor of timely help.
Zhao Qing had to admire Cheng Ran's prediction. In fact, after acquiring such a small company, the company would often help large technology companies with debugging and provide professional services. It was like holding a faucet and making money continuously.
Zhao Qing thought so at one point.
Until one day, a buyer came knocking on the door.
They claim to be the mergers and acquisitions arm of Cambridge-based ARM International Technology Group, UK.
It is also referred to as ARM by the outside world.
