From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 149
Hangzhou, Ali headquarters, chairman's office!
"What?" Ma Dong asked in surprise, "Ye Fei wants to engage in blockchain?"

The CIO (Chief Information Officer) nodded and said: "Yes, according to reliable sources, Ye Fei has already set up a blockchain laboratory in Zhonghu University. He asked many people and wanted to lure people into his laboratory."

Chairman Ma asked: "How much money did the higher-ups allocate for him?"

"1000 million!"

"1000 million?" Chairman Ma asked in surprise, "What can 1000 million do? 1000 million may not even make a splash. Can't Ye Fei apply for more, at least one billion!"

One billion yuan is too little in Ma Dong's opinion. Ali's investment in the blockchain has reached 130 billion yuan, and it is increasing its investment every year.

And Ali is just a private company, even if this private company is one of the leading domestic technology companies.

However, the research done by Ye Fei is on behalf of the country, and only 1000 million yuan is allocated from above, which is too little in the view of Chairman Ma. To develop blockchain, at least more than one billion yuan is needed.

Director Ma said: "Go and ask Ye Fei to see if he needs investment. I can invest one billion for him."

Chairman Ma is very optimistic about Ye Fei. Judging from Ye Fei's ability, he can make a steady profit with an investment of one billion yuan.

CIO said: "Okay, I'll ask when I get back."

Chairman Ma said: "Since Ye Fei has established a laboratory at Zhonghu University and started to research blockchain, so Ye Fei will not leave Zhonghu University for the time being."

"It should be like this!" CIO said.

Director Ma asked, "What does Korn Ferry say?"

CIO said: "I also asked HR, and they are also following up. During this time, people from Korn Ferry contacted Ye Fei many times, trying to poach him, but to no avail."

"On the other hand, at the Global Blockchain Academic Conference last time, people from Korn Ferry communicated with Ye Fei for a long time. Ye Fei seemed to want to make a move, but then for some reason, Ye Fei didn't hear from him again."

"Yeah!" Director Ma nodded and said, "It's very difficult to find talents like Ye Fei, which is quite normal."

"We have to calm down and not act too hastily, so as not to make Ye Fei angry."

"Business cannot be done with righteousness. Even if Ye Fei doesn't come to Ali, we can't make him angry."

"Maybe there will be a place to cooperate with him in the future."

"You convey my words to HR, and let HR convey this to Korn Ferry International."

"Okay, Mr. Ma!" CIO said.

After the CIO left, Dong Ma's eyes flickered, and he thought: "Ye Fei wants to study the blockchain. It seems that the international blockchain market is about to take off again."

Chairman Ma has seen Ye Fei’s speech at the Global Blockchain Academic Conference.

Since Ye Fei can give a very forward-looking speech on blockchain, Ye Fei must have some research on blockchain.

Otherwise it would be impossible to deliver such a speech.

Moreover, looking at Ye Fei's growth history, Chairman Ma concluded that Ye Fei will definitely be able to make some achievements in the blockchain field.

"Companies need to make some layout in the blockchain field."

What Chairman Ma can see, many people around the world can also see.

Magic City, Sequoia Capital Xia Country Headquarters!

Sequoia Capital is one of the top investment companies in the world. It is headquartered in the Silicon Valley of North America, and has its headquarters in North America, Xia Country and India.

Most of the investment projects of Sequoia Capital are Internet companies.

Such as Apple, Google, Cisco, Yahoo, Ali, JD.com, Toutiao, Mobike, are you hungry...

Sequoia Capital has invested in most of the world's most famous Internet companies.

Technology Investment Department, conference room!
Three groups of people are having a meeting in the conference room!
There are five people in the conference room, one team leader and four team members.

A team member is using PPT to explain.

"Ye Fei, male, born in 2001, from Jinling, was admitted to Zhonghu University in 2018, will be a graduate student at Zhonghu University in 2022, will be a doctoral student at Zhonghu University in 2023, and will graduate with a doctorate in 2024."

"In 2024, the world's mathematical problem will be proved, Hilbert's first problem, the continuum hypothesis."

"In the same year, a mathematical algorithm was created."

"In 2025, we will help Guoyu Technology Co., Ltd. and Honghui Medical Devices Co., Ltd. to develop two world-class medical devices."

"In 2026, the future development and research direction of blockchain will be proposed at the global blockchain academic conference.

"In the same year, the world's highest level A2 security system was developed."

Both the speaker and the listener were shocked.

Ye Fei's development speed is too fast, almost to the point of inhumanity.

They have also come into contact with many scientific research talents, but none of them has developed at the speed of Ye Fei.

"This person can't be a prophet, right? He is born with knowledge, and a lot of knowledge automatically appears in his mind." Many people asked: "Otherwise, why is the research speed so fast?"

The team member said: "Ye Fei was studying cryptography at the Information Resources Research Center of Chang'an Electronic Science and Technology University, and it was also at that time that he came into contact with the blockchain."

"Based on Ye Fei's research speed, we can see that his learning speed is very fast. Coupled with his performance at the global blockchain academic conference, he will definitely achieve results if he researches blockchain."

"So, investing in Ye Fei's blockchain, the ROI is 35%."

ROI means return on investment.

Before each investment, it will be calculated according to the ability of the investee and the value of the invested object.

Generally, as long as the ROI reaches 8%, the capital can be guaranteed, more than 20% is high-quality investment, and 30% is very high-quality.

According to the calculation of ROI, Ye Fei's blockchain is a very high-quality investment.

In other words, as long as you vote, it is almost impossible to lose money, and you will definitely make money, and it will be a huge profit.

Unless there are some uncontrollable factors.

For example, with policy changes, the blockchain suddenly changed from a sunrise industry to a sunset industry.

But with the popularity of the blockchain at this stage, this probability is only 0.001%.

That said, it's nearly impossible.

The group member said: "My speech is over!"

The team leader said: "Okay, from the current point of view, investing in Ye Fei's blockchain is a stable and profitable project."

"If you invest in Ye Fei's project, we can collect money after the project research is over."

"It doesn't even matter if you don't open for a few years for the money you make."

Blockchain is a product of the computer field, and computer products are profitable, which is something everyone knows.

In the computer field, the blockchain is a huge profit among huge profits.

For example, cryptocurrencies are developed based on the blockchain.

It is very common for many people around the world to be worth billions in a short period of time because of cryptocurrencies.

The team leader said: "But the problem at this stage is that we discovered this project, and other venture capital firms must have discovered this project."

"So, we have to win this project as soon as possible."

"The higher authorities only allocated 1000 million to Ye Fei. He must be short of money. Therefore, he should be very happy when we invest in him."

Venture capital is divided into the other party's automatic door-to-door investment and the venture capital company's automatic door-to-door investment.

Good projects do not worry about lack of investment.

Generally speaking, most of the door-to-door investment projects are not good projects.

Therefore, whenever a good project is found on the market, venture capital firms will automatically come to invest in it.

Ye Fei is a person that many venture capital companies have paid attention to for a long time, and Sequoia Capital is one of them.

When they heard that Ye Fei was researching the blockchain, many venture capital companies wanted to lick it like a cat smelling fishy.

With Ye Fei's ability, his research on blockchain will definitely produce results.

Moreover, as long as the blockchain has a little bit of results, it can make a lot of money.

Such a good project, of course venture capital firms want to invest.

A team member asked puzzledly: "But the team leader, why did the higher ups only give Ye Fei a research fund of 1000 million?"

This is also where many people wonder, what can 1000 million research blockchains do?
Such a small amount of money is not even enough to plug the teeth.

Don't say that the country has no money, this is impossible.

If Xia Guo had no money, any country in the world would have no money.

Could it be that Ye Fei only applied for 1000 million scientific research funds from above?

This is impossible!
Ye Fei is not a fool, he only applied for 1000 million scientific research funds, how many days can he support?
The team member continued: "Maybe Ye Fei won't be able to apply for one billion yuan, but he should be able to apply for one or two million yuan, but the above only gives 1000 million yuan."

"Could it be that there is a problem with Ye Fei's research direction, so that the higher-ups can't see the hope of success, so the higher-ups only give 1000 million?"

The team leader shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. With Ye Fei's ability, the success rate of blockchain research should be quite high."

"Besides, with Ye Fei alone, his application for scientific research funds is more than 1000 million!"

Everyone nodded, agreeing with the group leader's statement.

That's right, with Ye Fei's ability, it's more than 1000 million, even [-] million is considered low.

But they never imagined that the 1000 million was applied by Ye Fei on his own initiative, not by the price cut from above.

Ye Fei is only doing theoretical research, and theoretical research costs much less than applied research.

Ye Fei plans to wait until the results of theoretical research are produced before doing applied research.

And when it comes to research and application, Ye Fei will not only use such a small amount of money and such a small number of people.

At that time, Ye Fei will bring in a few academicians.

After all, such important applied research cannot be accomplished by him alone.

And when the time comes, Ye Fei will not apply for the scientific research fund, but the state will send the money in.

One billion is not enough, just 100 billion.

As long as you have the ability, money is not a problem.

In Xia Kingdom, the most important thing is money.

The team leader said: "Don't think about this problem. Our current problem is how to invest in Ye Fei's blockchain research."

"We want to invest in this project before other companies."

Next, they talked for a long time about how to invest in Ye Fei's blockchain research.

Zhonghu University!

Ye Fei hangs up the phone very speechless. In the past two days, he feels as if he has been targeted by the venture capital circle, and they all want to invest in his projects and give him money.

Ye Fei thought it was a scam call at first.

There is no such thing as a pie in the sky, and it is a good thing to give yourself money for no reason.

But later, Ye Fei received dozens of similar calls, and he was overwhelmed.

"Am I being targeted by a scam gang?"

Then, a few hours ago, the principal came to him and said that Sequoia Capital wanted to invest in his project.

Only then did Ye Fei realize that he was not being targeted by a scam gang, but was being targeted by a venture capital gang.

But wherever Ye Fei wants to invest, if he wants to invest, he can bring in hundreds of millions.

If you ask for money from above, can the company he helped before get money?
Besides, let's see what companies are investing in him!

Most of them are foreign companies.

Ye Fei was out of his wits before finding these companies to invest in his project.

His project must be sure to make a profit without losing money. To invest in these companies, isn't it sending money to them!

Ye Feixin said: "Although the employees of these venture capital companies are all Xia people, who told you that the founders of these companies are foreigners!"

"It can't be said that I hate foreigners, but that I don't want to send money to foreigners."

"Doing business with anyone is doing business, why not choose Xia people!"

"Of course, I'm not short of money, and I definitely don't want to be invested."

"It's a good national project that needs private investment, what's the matter!"

"Xia Guo is not short of money."

"Even if the higher-ups don't give me money, I still have more than 1 million yuan. If I go to the bank for a loan, I can get a few hundred million yuan!"

"When the time comes, I will invest in myself."

"I see that money is not earned, I will earn it for you, am I not a fool!"

Ye Fei and three students walked towards a teaching building.

He is going to recruit researchers for the blockchain laboratory today.

The school arranged 40 scientific researchers for Ye Fei, but Ye Fei still needs to recruit more than 12 people, plus [-] people from the number theory team.

Ye Fei needs a total of more than 70 scientific researchers.

Therefore, he used the two classrooms on the third floor of this teaching building as a recruitment site.

As for the three students, Ye Fei gave each of them two hundred and called them to help him.

When they got to the third floor, before Ye Feiren arrived, they heard bustling sounds at the stairs, as noisy as a vegetable market.

Ye Fei was surprised: "There are so many people!"

As he said that, Ye Fei just walked out of the stairs when he saw people standing in the corridor.

Ye Fei walked to the side of the classroom and looked in through the window. The classroom was also full of people, and there were many people standing in the aisle.

Ye Fei said: "There are more than 200 people here!"

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "It's really too complicated. I only recruited more than 40 people, but more than 200 people came."

When Ye Fei released the news, he clearly stated that the degree must be a doctorate in mathematics or computer science, and he must be proficient in any one of the above knowledge, such as number theory, algorithms, big data, cloud computing, and blockchain.

This is very demanding.

But even so, so many people came.

Ye Fei shook his head in his heart and sighed: "It can only be said that there are many talents in Xia Kingdom, but there are few jobs, and the introversion is too serious."

In fact, the involution is too serious, but because many people have heard that Ye Fei wants to study the blockchain, and everyone feels that following Ye Fei to study the blockchain will definitely produce results.

So, I came to apply.

If it was someone else, they might not necessarily go.

Ye Fei walked into a classroom and sat down in the first row of seats, and said to the three students, "Let's get started!"

The three students went out and walked to the corridor, one of them held the list and shouted, "Bao Zhengmin, is Bao Zhengmin there?"

A 30-year-old man wearing glasses waved in the crowd and said, "Hey, here it is!"

As he spoke, he squeezed out from the crowd.

Another student said: "Come with me!"

Under the leadership of the students, they entered the classroom where Ye Fei was.

Seeing the person walking in, Ye Fei smiled and said, "Please sit down!"

Bao Zhengmin put the copy of degree certificate and resume in front of Ye Fei, and said, "Hello, Professor Ye!"

Then sit down.

Ye Fei nodded and said, "Hello."

Then Ye Fei began to look at the information in his hand.

Bao Zhengmin, male, 31 years old, graduated from Jiangcheng University with a Ph.D. in computer science.

During his doctoral period, he did research on SRA algorithm, time-frequency synchronization algorithm of NG-DSL system, participating medium algorithm based on fast k-nearest neighbor, and photon mapping algorithm based on fast k-nearest neighbor. "

Ye Feidao: "Tell me about the basic principles of OFDM technology."

Bao Zhengmin said: "In the data transmission system, a multi-carrier parallel system is DFDM. The high-speed serial of this communication technology..."

Ye Feidao: "What's the algorithm for synchronizing time and numbers based on the minimum energy difference?"

Bao Zhengmin said: "The disadvantage of the non-data-assisted symbolic timing synchronization algorithm is the cycle..."

Ye Fei asked seven or eight questions in a row, and Bao Zhengmin answered them all very well.

Ye Fei said: "Okay, you can go back and wait for the news."

This is only the first applicant, and Ye Fei needs to select more than 30 of the best applicants.

Therefore, he finally said to every applicant, go back and wait for news.

Ye Fei spent a whole day interviewing everyone.

At around ten o'clock that night, Ye Fei was in the study at home.

Ye Fei checked the information of all the applicants in front of him, and selected 42 candidates, Bao Zhengmin was one of them.

The next day, Ye Fei sent a message to everyone based on the people he selected, informing them that the interview was successful, and he will come to the blockchain laboratory of Zhonghu University to report at [-]:[-] a.m. next Monday.

Ye Feixin said: "Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng!"
