In Professor Chen’s opinion, they come to him because they are confused about the direction of their future postgraduate entrance examinations, but they are also interested in big data, so they come to him to learn more about it so that they can make good life plans.
Ye Ge smiled and said, "Professor, you are too modest. With your level, you can definitely achieve great success in big data algorithms. Well, with my grades, I probably can't pass the postgraduate entrance examination, let alone your postgraduate entrance examination. In fact, we came here this time to invest."
"Investment?" Professor Chen was stunned.
These two students want to invest in themselves?
"Yes." Ye Ge nodded, "This is my business card."
Ye Ge stood up, bent down and handed over the business card.
Professor Chen took Ye Ge's business card and looked at it:
Ye Ge, Chairman of Bilibili and Mihuyou.
"So you are Ye Ge." Professor Chen said in surprise, "I've heard of your name for a long time."
Professor Chen knew the name Ye Ge.
Not to mention that Professor Chen is engaged in Internet research and often goes online, and his Internet experience is much longer than many young people.
In fact, Ye Ge's reputation is so great that people, whether among students or teachers, will keep talking about him - "Yuhang University has a young entrepreneur who is now a junior and worth over 10 billion, and he is also a scumbag."
"No, no, it's my honor to hear your name, Professor Chen."
Ye Ge muttered in his heart - I'm afraid that what you heard, Professor, was all about my reputation as a scumbag.
"Mr. Ye, why did you come to me this time? Is your company interested in 'big data'?" Professor Chen asked.
Professor Chen's impression of "Ye Ge" is indeed that of a scumbag. In fact, in Professor Chen's impression, "Ye Ge" should be the kind of young man who has achieved success at a young age and is rather arrogant and complacent.
But when I first met this college student entrepreneur, he acted very humble and low-key. He didn't have that kind of value at all and didn't seem to be a scumbag at all.
Can we just say that you can’t judge a book by its cover?
"Professor, you can just call me Xiao Ye. I really can't be called 'Mr. Ye'."
Ye Ge said sincerely.
“As you said, our company is indeed very interested in big data.
Just as you said just now, in my opinion, the future will definitely enter the era of big data. Big data is oil and gold. Whoever can master more advanced algorithms about "big data" will be able to dig out these gold and oil.
So we plan to set up a big data research center to study big data. Hudan University has many talented people, and with seniors like you leading the team, I believe we will be able to make enough breakthroughs in big data algorithms."
After hearing what Ye Ge said, Professor Chen was indeed moved.
Big data is not valued nowadays, but researching big data requires a lot of money. I really want to cooperate with the company to promote the research of big data.
Unexpectedly, before I went out to look for companies to cooperate with, companies came to me on their own.
"What is your cooperation plan, Xiaoye?"
Professor Chen is only good at academic research, not good at business, so he is very cautious when cooperating with enterprises.
Fortunately, these two young people were introduced by his good friends, so Professor Chen felt that they could be trusted.
"It's like this. We at Mihuyou plan to first invest 5000 million in your research fund, and then invest another 5000 million six months later. We'll decide after a year depending on the situation.
As with any other collaboration, you will be required to report to us on the progress of your research.
Any academic patents and signatures resulting from the research will belong to your team, but we want commercial rights, and only we can grant others commercial rights.
That's roughly it. As for the details, I'll have my secretary write them down for you. What do you think?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 584: What thank you gift?
After listening to the conditions given by Ye Ge, Professor Chen thought about it seriously and said, "I don't think there is any problem. Let's do as you say, Ye Ge."
Although Professor Chen is not very good at discussing cooperation with others, it does not mean that he knows nothing about cooperation with companies.
The conditions given by Ye Ge are actually very normal.
This is the case for most companies that collaborate with universities.
The researchers own the academic patent, but the company has exclusive commercial rights.
Everyone takes what they need.
"Thank you, Professor Chen, for cooperating with us."
Hearing Professor Chen agree, Tang Zhiyan stood up and extended his hand.
"You really helped us a lot."
"Hahaha, I want to thank you for finding me. To be honest, I'm worried about the research funding." Professor Chen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tang Zhiyan, then shook hands with Ye Ge.
Ye Ge said happily: "Professor, I think it's noon, should we go have a meal?"
Professor Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. No need to have dinner. You guys are looking for me to cooperate with you, so I have to list some plans and give you an explanation. Otherwise, you will all suspect that I am cheating research funds."
Ye Ge: "Look at what you said, Professor. The fact that we came to you shows that we have complete trust in you. Don't worry, we will not interfere with your research."
"Thank you very much. I believe that our big data algorithm will play an important role in promoting social progress in the future." Professor Chen took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Ye Ge.
"Then Professor Chen, you go ahead and do your work. We will go back first." Professor Chen did not want to have dinner with them, and Tang Zhiyan did not force him, because some professors really did not like to attend such dinners. "If you are short of money for research, you can tell us directly. The total research fund of 100 million is just an estimate. It will only be more, not less."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, but for now, this amount of money is more than enough." Professor Chen nodded, not being polite. He believed that if he asked for more research funds, he would be able to bring them greater results. "Let's go, I'll see you off."
"Professor, please don't see us off. How can we let you see us off? We can just go by ourselves." Ye Ge said hurriedly. There was no reason for him to let this highly respected old professor see him off.
"Okay, then I won't be polite. Here's my phone number. If you have anything you want to ask, just call me directly." Professor Chen wrote his phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to Ye Ge and the others.
The three of them exchanged a few final pleasantries and contact information, then Ye Ge and Tang Zhiyan walked out of the office.
"Is that all?" On the way to Hangzhou, Tang Zhiyan asked Ye Ge, "Should we invest in a few more research institutions? For example, Tsinghua University and Peking University? This way, we may be able to achieve success in many areas."
Ye Ge smiled and shook his head: "Even if I want to invest, my company can't afford it. Researching this kind of thing is very expensive, and I believe that Professor Chen's team will definitely give us a satisfactory result.
And this is actually just the initial development of big data research.
One year later, we will set up a big data research institute. At that time, based on the existing foundation, we will attract talents from all walks of life, no matter which university they are from, as long as they can contribute to the research of big data.
And artificial intelligence actually relies on big data.
By then, we can also apply the research content to artificial intelligence.”
"It's not impossible." Tang Zhiyan nodded without refutating Ye Ge.
Tang Zhiyan didn't think much of Ye Ge's proposal to found a big data research institute.
But as for research in artificial intelligence, it is a bit too far away.
"Anyway, thank you very much today." Ye Ge glanced at Tang Zhiyan who was driving and thanked him.
Tang Zhiyan smiled and said, "I told you, you don't need to thank me. We are also in a cooperative relationship. I should also have a certain share in the Wenyin you mentioned, right?"
Ye Ge also smiled: "Of course there is, you are my important partner."
"Just partners?" Tang Zhiyan asked.
Ye Ge: "."
Tang Zhiyan held the steering wheel: "But, since you keep thanking me, I will accept your thank-you gift."
"What thank you gift?" Ye Ge asked.
Did I say I would give her a thank you gift?
Tang Zhiyan: "You'll know once you get off the highway."
"After getting off the highway?" Ye Ge was even more confused.
After getting off the highway, Tang Zhiyan drove on the national highway.
But Ye Ge felt that Tang Zhiyan seemed to be deliberately going to some remote places.
Finally, Tang Zhiyan stopped the car in a deserted mountain wilderness.
Then, Tang Zhiyan opened the car door, pulled Ye Ge to the back seat, and then Tang Zhiyan sat directly astride Ye Ge.
"Zhiyan, calm down. It's broad daylight and we're out in the wilderness."
Ye Ge now knew what Zhiyan was trying to do.
Zhiyan wants to learn a foreign language with me again.
"Why are you panicking? No one has seen us learning a foreign language." Tang Zhiyan gently pinched Ye Ge's ear. "Besides, my car can only be seen from the outside, but not from the inside. If the windshield in front is covered with cloth, who can see it?"
"No, I think, hiss."
Ye Ge took a breath of cold air.
I don't know when, Tang Zhiyan had already opened the English book.
Half an hour later, Tang Zhiyan was a little tired from studying and sat in the passenger seat, so Ye Ge had to drive.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Ge drove to Yuhang University.
Ye Ge went to the bathhouse and took a comfortable bath. After returning to the dormitory, he fell asleep.
I've been exhausted these days.
Especially cigarettes also have to learn foreign languages with me from time to time.
Just when Ye Ge slept until five in the afternoon, a phone call rang.
Ye Ge picked up the phone beside the pillow in a daze, answered the call, and turned on the speakerphone: "Hello"
"Hello, Ye Ge." Yan Cici's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ye Ge closed his eyes and smacked his lips a few times: "Ci Ci, what's wrong?"
"Are you in the dormitory?" Yan Cici asked.
Ye Ge: "I'm in the dormitory."
"I want to ask you a favor." On the other end of the line, Yan Cici couldn't help but clench the phone in her hand.
"You want to ask me a favor? That's really rare." Ye Ge sat up from the bed.
Yan Cici took a deep breath and said:
"It's like this. Next semester, I want to apply for your company and do an internship there."
