After the Tianxing Society was established, it was promoted at USTC. It was very lively for a while, with a gimmick and a sense of mystery. Many students at USTC knew about and talked about it, but this alone was not enough to rival the Skull and Bones Society. I'm afraid it will require convincing people with reason.
The truth is only within the range of cannons, and hard power is the basis for ensuring gimmicks and concepts.
In other words, Tianxing Society must have enough weight to attract people. It must also set a precedent. It must first absorb a group of people with sufficient level, and among such people, there is a leader that Cheng Ran has seen.
Nie Chuan was in the library. He looked pale and haggard. He had a lot of things to do recently. His elder brother had been working in the laboratory for a long time and only slept four hours a day on average. He felt distressed when he saw this and often went to help take over some complicated and tedious testing work in exchange for his elder brother's rest time.
But he himself was already struggling to handle the matters related to his elder brother's doctoral work, so he had to work all night and borrow journals and look up information in the library during the day. When he felt sleepy, he would just lie down on the table in the library and sleep. He didn't feel how hard and tired he was, because he knew that what his brother did was several times more arduous than what he did.
At one point, he told his elder brother not to work so hard because his health was more important. But every time, his elder brother would just say, "If you really want to do something, this is the best opportunity, you must seize it."
The brothers' father is an electrical engineer, and he is not very noticeable in a power plant with more than 2,000 people. The father's way of educating the two brothers is also very different. As for the older brother with a lively personality, the impression is that the father often puts on an attitude of "You are so young, what do you know? There are so many things you don't know! Don't be complacent, you are so proud of your achievements, you will have a bright future!" Therefore, the older brother's competitive spirit and unwillingness to accept are often aroused, and he is willing to study hard. The radical older brother often causes trouble, and most of the time he gets beaten up in return.
On the contrary, his father's encouragement to his younger brother was completely different from that of his older brother. Since Nie Chuan grew up, he was rarely scolded or beaten. He just jumped up and down while watching his brother twirling the feather duster given to their father. Sometimes he would even mediate and say things like "Brother, you should save yourself some trouble!"
My brother had always been arguing with his father. The mark of his growth made him hold his breath in his heart and wanted to do something big and leave his name in history. So that one day when he faced his father who said that he still had "room for improvement" even though he was admitted to the University of Science and Technology to study for a master's and doctorate, he could confidently say to him, "What else can you say to me this time!"
Therefore, Nie Yun attached great importance to the current business and followed Dean Chen Yue who returned from the United States to develop chip engineering. However, being in it, especially helping in the laboratory, Nie Chuan also vaguely felt a depressing atmosphere.
It's confusion and despair.
When the news of Guoxin's research and development has become the focus of the outside world and the media reports are in line with the national sentiment, under the watchful eyes of all parties, such an atmosphere permeates the seemingly glorious project team.
If not, his brother would not have risked his life. Moreover, everyone in the project team was ordered to keep quiet. No one dared to talk about the current progress. No one could reveal anything. Everyone knew the weight of the order... The boss, Chen Yue, had returned from overseas and was well-known for his wealth of resources. He also had a "big boss" above him, forming a solid system. If there was a problem with the project, Chen Yue could just start over. But the fate of the project team members was uncertain. They would all be affected and their scientific research careers might never get off the ground.
Under the guidance of a subject leader like Chen Yue, you are already an apprentice branded with the Chen school's imprint. Under the current system, unless it is a competitive field and excluding some individual cases, basically no one will risk offending a faction to accept you, not to mention a blank field like Chen Yue's where there is almost no competition. The research they have accumulated in this field over the years can only survive under Chen Yue's guidance.
What supports everyone is nothing more than the faint hope that they may "shock the world" if they succeed.
Both Nie Chuan and Nie Yun like martial arts novels and movies. They are deeply impressed by the phrase "where there are people, there is a world of martial arts". Who would have known that in the seemingly aloof and lonely academic circle, there is also a huge world of martial arts.
Nie Chuan was certain that Cheng Ran, who happened to look up several times when he was standing opposite him, really had ulterior motives towards him.
Cheng Ran had indeed seen Nie Chuan here many times before. There was no other way. One of them had transcended the existing academic program and was able to explore extracurricular content on his own. The other was a person who had a more solid foundation in this aspect and was considered an old programmer in terms of professional course content. Probably the only place in the whole school that was most suitable for the two of them was the library.
It is not uncommon to encounter this kind of situation repeatedly.
Nie Chuan walked over and got straight to the point, "Do you have any feelings for me?"
If it were ten years later, Nie Chuan would probably want to strangle himself one day because of this opening line with Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran shook his head mechanically almost subconsciously, and then nodded.
He had thought about it for a long time before. Facing a future great like Nie Chuan, he was worried that his involvement would cause his career to deviate, and the consequences would be immeasurable.
So Cheng Ran still observed from the side, and later felt that he was too cautious. People are naturally different. Some people are like jade, and they cannot be made into useful objects without carving. This is more troublesome and may require the arrangement of God's hand. The ups and downs of the storm can temper a hero, and the cost is very high.
Some people are different, just like a ball, they have their own air, no matter how deep the sea is, they will eventually surface. Nie Chuan is such a person. Obviously, he and his brother are determined to take root in the computer field and make great things here. Such people are stupid and foolish.
There are many people like this, especially at HKUST.
But not every such person can survive and succeed. Talent is important, but the direction that matches the talent is even more important. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will waste your time.
My intervention will not lead them astray, but may help them to take shape.
"I'm not interested in the club." Nie Chuan simply didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Not interested, or not wanting to bow down, maybe both. As a person standing at the top of the pyramid of the School of Computer Science, Nie Chuan has the confidence and status to look down on spring flowers and autumn moons at the forefront of the tide. Although he is more gentle than his brother, who can't have the pride of a lonely peak
"I will give you money, with compensation..."
"No matter how good your words are, I... Hmm? What did you say just now?"
Nie Chuan had an incredible expression. Cheng Ran said, "Tianxing Society will implement a corporatization system and will cooperate with some technology companies. They may jointly conduct research. In essence, it is to absorb high-quality research resources from universities for use, avoid waste of talents, and provide a good place for relevant talents. Achieve advantageous allocation of resources. People who join the Tianxing Society laboratory can receive corresponding subsidies based on the project situation, with more or less, and rewards for special circumstances. Basically, starting with a project, a researcher will receive a subsidy of 600 per month."
These days, a monthly subsidy of 600 yuan is enough for many college students to live a luxurious life for a month.
Nie Chuan's Adam's apple rose and fell. No one doesn't care about money.
He helped his brother in the lab, and Chen Yue gave him a subsidy of 300 yuan every month when the lab settled the accounts. This was all for his hard work as he often stayed up all night. The person in front of him told him that the subsidy was 600 yuan, and Nie Chuan could almost imagine how many people would rush to work for this amount.
There must be many people who try to take advantage of the situation, so the first thing that comes to mind is to select people who are capable enough. So this is why Cheng Ran approached him first
But in the end, it’s not right…
"You mean, the newly formed Tianxing Society of your freshman year is going to create a laboratory? Where did you get the money?"
"I almost forgot to say..." Cheng Ran paused.
"I am very rich."
