The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide.

Chapter 31 Gossip
Hearing what Zhou Xin said, Cao Yongluo breathed a sigh of relief.

The environment changes people. Judging from the tone and content of Zhou Xin's speech, the other party has not been fundamentally different from before because of his great success during this period.

“Actually, eating out is pretty much the same.

I have eaten too many steaks and burgers here, but I miss the fast food in Yanda Canteen.

Perhaps what I miss is not the cafeteria of Yanda University, but the carefree days at Yanda University.

I am different from you, I have limited talent in learning, I can enter Yanda because my father can win me a place to pass Yanda.

After coming to Santa Barbara, the classes are taught in English, and I basically have to study the content of the class by myself after class. "

Now the news is blocked, and most people don't have a clear understanding of Cao Yongluo's group.

Even after 20 years, for people like Cao Yongluo, the Internet is still dominated by speculation, and there is no authoritative statement.

The rumors circulating on the Internet are basically my friend, what I heard, and my friend's friend.

And no one came out and said, what rights do I enjoy that you ordinary people can't enjoy.

When Zhou Xin started his business in Shenhai in his previous life, he also had this group of investors among his investors.

But from the perspective of people, Zhou Xin thinks that Cao Yongluo is even bigger than his previous partner.

Of course it could be an illusion.

Because Zhou Xin didn't know who Cao Yongluo was from, the rumors in his memory were just rumors.

Zhou Xin said with a smile: "For you, it doesn't matter how much you learn.

Even if you fail a class, it will not affect the path you want to take after graduation. "

Cao Yongluo smiled bitterly: "That's right.

But I still have brothers and sisters, resources need to rely on competition.

The resources of the family are limited, and the resources that can be distributed to you are even more limited.

You need to perform better than others to get this opportunity.

Taking Yanda as an example, I can come to Yanda to study if I go to the first line. If I fail to go to the first line, it will be a lot of trouble. If I want to stay in Yanjing, I can only go to Yanjing Institute of Technology or Yenching Normal University. .

Unless I am willing to go to Shenhai, I can go to Fudan with any score.

This is the difference.

Similarly, if my grades in Santa Barbara are good enough, it is more likely that my family will be able to help me run a higher-level university in the future.

So the background is only a help, and I still need to put in some effort. "

Zhou Xin admitted that he was sore, no matter in his previous life or now, he was admitted to a prestigious school by studying hard, but the other party could go to Fudan with whatever score he took in the test.

Going to Fudan is no way for him.

Fortunately, he is not, and he is not surprised by the phenomenon of Tianlongren.

Not only Huaguo has a similar phenomenon, but there is no need to cover up the phenomenon of Tianlong people abroad.

Zhou Xin took a sip of the lychee-flavored sparkling water. The cool taste refreshed the brain that wanted to stop thinking in the warm environment. I don’t know why the heating in this restaurant is so high.

The fireplace turns Los Angeles in December into Yanjing in August.

"I didn't expect you to have similar troubles.

Santa Barbara is not as good as Berkeley academically, but it is also a strong engineering school.

Their academic requirements will never be low. "

Zhou Xin also had a friend who was a Ph.D. student in Santa Barbara before. In terms of published results, the powerful Ph.D. students there are no worse than the ordinary Ph.D.

Cao Yongluo would not be dissatisfied because the other party said that Santa Barbara was not as good as Berkeley.

Although Cao Yongluo is not good at studying, to be precise, he is not good at learning theoretical knowledge, but he is very good at socializing and judging the situation.

In his opinion, Zhou Xin is now his thigh, and the combined assets of his family are probably not as high as Zhou Xin's.

It's not too good for a friend I met when I was infancy to become a big boss.It's normal to feel jealous of a friend's accomplishments, but it's not normal to let that affect your normal relationship.

Zhou Xin made a fortune so fast, Cao Yongluo had no time to be jealous, and his heart was already full of admiration for the other party.

Many of the children of Cao Yongluo's father's colleagues have gone abroad, and few of them can go abroad without relying on family relationships.

Most of them rely on family connections outside, and do business related to Huaguo in financial institutions.

For example, *** worked at Bear Stearns Investment Bank when he was in American, and later switched to Citigroup to be in charge of Citigroup's investment bank in China.

Before that, Citigroup had repeatedly hit a wall in Huaguo. After she took over, she successively won contracts for super huge IPO projects such as Huaguo Life Insurance, Huaguo Netcom, and Huaguo Construction Bank.

It's hard to say how much my own ability accounts for.

Cao Yongluo has seen too many such deeds in the circle, so he knows how difficult it is for Zhou Xinchun to become a billionaire by himself.

"Yes, the courses here are difficult, language is only one of the reasons.

It is very difficult in itself.

I regretted choosing engineering a little bit. It would be much better if I chose business.

There are many subjective judgments in business, as long as the language foundation is laid, there will be no problem at least passing the follow-up.

There is no such fuzzy space like engineering. "

Cao Yongluo looked annoyed.

Zhou Xin reminded: "Anyway, you are only exchanging for one year.

When applying for a master's program or a doctoral program in the future, it will be fine if it becomes a business-related field.

In fact, when you come to Yanda, you can choose business, so why choose microelectronics? "

Cao Yongluo said helplessly: "It's not that I want to choose, it's all decided by my father for me.

He thinks that engineering is good, and it will be a trend for engineers to govern the country in the future, so what business should you study.

The biggest gap between us and foreign countries lies in science and technology.

How do you say that?If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world!
I also thought engineering was good.

Speaking of this, you are so successful on the road of entrepreneurship, so are you still studying for a Ph.D.? "

Zhou Xin nodded and said: "Yes, I still want to finish my PhD.

The most important thing for me is to have more choices to start a business successfully and earn wealth.

Before, I might have to finish my Ph.D. and then get a job. This seems very good, but in fact there is only one way.

But now I do my PhD because I like the science of semiconductors, not because I have only this option.

Most of the time freedom is about having the power to choose.

Compared with Wang Wei and Li Li, you are more free than them, because you can choose to go abroad, and I am more free than you. "

Cao Yongluo nodded and said: "If someone else said that, I might be jealous.

But you said, I don't feel jealous at all.

It’s just that we were at Yanda before, you left the dormitory to go to the library at the earliest every day, and came back at the latest. This level of hard work is beyond my comparison.

Including that you can take the first place in every exam, and your learning talent is not comparable to mine.

So it's normal for you to achieve success in the worldly sense, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. "
