wild 1995

Chapter 77 Ideal
At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Di Ye rented a minibus and came to the north gate of Yunda University, and took a dozen students organized by Zhu Zichun to Lingyun Hotel for dinner.

Su Zhaonian was the first to get in the car, grabbed the seat next to Di Ye, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really the boss behind Yingfeng?"

"It used to be, but now it has abdicated to the virtuous."

"I don't care if you abdicate or not, I just want to know how many tertiary films Yingfeng has."

Di Ye smiled and nodded to the people who got on the bus one by one, and said righteously: "Yingfeng is a regular company, there is no such thing."

Dong Jianzhong grabbed the seat behind the two of them, poked his head out and retorted: "Lao Liu said that you have a lot of tertiary films, but you are not allowed to rent them in the video hall at the West Gate of Yunda University, because you are afraid of spoiling college students. We college students are adults with mature worldviews, so how could they be spoiled."

Su Zhaonian fully agreed, saying: "We just want to simply appreciate the essence of Hong Kong film art."

"Then I recommend you guys to ask Boss Liu to rent a tertiary movie called "Eight Immortals Hotel"..."

"Damn! Lao Liu has let go of this movie a long time ago. It's not a tertiary movie at all, but a thriller. It scared me and Dong Jianzhong to death."

"Bloody violence also belongs to the category of tertiary films."

While the three were talking nonsense, Zhu Zichun stood at the door of the minibus and counted the number of people one by one. After all the students got on the bus, he handed Di Ye a list and said, "Including the five juniors, there are 5 students in total. All of them are here. I'm leaving, let's get together."

Di Ye liked Zhu Zichun's meticulous work style very much, but since the purpose of the dinner at night was to select members of the R&D team, it was difficult to make an exception, so he didn't keep him. He just thanked him solemnly, and then told the driver to drive.

Lingyun Hotel is famous for its quiet and elegant environment. It has received many high-ranking officials and distinguished guests. It looks ordinary on the outside, but the interior is extremely luxurious. It opened the eyes of students like Su Zhaonian who have not had much contact with society, and they were amazed.

Through Zheng Yingyong's relationship, Di Ye booked a large room with two dining tables, and the dishes were ordered in advance. After everyone was seated, he asked the waiter to serve the dishes directly, then stood up, slapped his hands twice, and told the purpose of the treat straight to the point.

"Everyone should know that I'm going to bring a research and development team to Pengcheng to develop a browser. There are a total of 10 places. Now let me explain the basic situation."

"First, the estimated time for this research and development is 3 months. It will start on March 3 and end on June 4. Those who want to participate in the postgraduate re-examination should wait until the re-examination is over."

"Secondly, I will cover all the board and lodging. The dormitory and office have already been rented in Pengcheng. The accommodation is allocated to two people, and the office can access the Internet 24 hours a day."

"Third, in my own name, I will give each member of the group a monthly subsidy of 500 yuan."

"Fourth, all courses this semester need to be self-study in Pengcheng. I will arrange for someone to fax the class notes to Pengcheng. After the research and development is completed, I will go back to school to take the exam."

"The general situation is like this. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

As soon as Di Ye finished speaking, Cheng Zhongwei from computer class 2 raised his hand and asked, "Di Ye, if the results of this research and development are achieved, how will the papers written be counted?"

Cheng Zhongwei is a guy who likes to be active. He has been the monitor of computer class 2 since he was a freshman. He usually has excellent grades and has already been admitted to graduate school. He is the most qualified person among this group of students to challenge Di Ye, and he is also the person who cares most about the authorship of the paper.

Di Ye stared at him for a second or two, and then asked, "A 28-storey ICBC building was built on Qingyun Road last year. Have you been there?"

"No. Why are you asking that?"

"There is a nameplate on the first floor of that building with only three names written on it, namely the name of the investment company, the name of the construction company and the name of the designer."

Di Ye stretched out three fingers, and after introducing them one by one, he said, "Developing a browser is like building a building. The investment company and designer are me, the construction company is Yuncheng University, and you are just coolies moving bricks. If you perform well, I will give you some bonuses, but if you want to put your name on the paper, unless you can find a major loophole in my design drawings, you are not eligible."

Since undergraduates are not required to publish papers in journals, most of the dozen or so students present couldn't tell the difference between core journals and SCI, and had no concept of the importance of papers. Although they felt that Di Ye's attitude was too arrogant, they didn't care much.

Cheng Zhongwei obviously knew it, and was immediately irritated. He stood up and sneered, "You use us as coolies? What a wishful thinking!"

Di Ye saw that although he stood up, he had no intention of leaving, so he enumerated again: "For your 10 quotas, I donated 20 yuan to the college; in order to let you work comfortably, I prepared 10 Pentium computers, each worth 1 yuan, a total of 5 yuan; in order to let you understand what the Internet is, I set up a monthly subscription for DDN, 15 yuan per month, a total of 8 yuan; It costs 24 yuan. In short, for this research and development, I invested at least 6 yuan."

After reporting all the expenses, Di Ye asked back: "Cheng Zhongwei, you are the class monitor. You should know the monthly salary of a fresh graduate. Even if you are very capable, your monthly salary is 1, but after 1000 months, it is only 3. You can't even make back 3000% of my investment. Are you eligible to sign the paper?"

The hundreds of thousands of investment surprised everyone present. They looked at each other in disbelief. Cheng Zhongwei's momentum was also suppressed, and he argued fiercely: "Thesis is an academic thing, and it cannot be measured by money."

Di Ye was waiting for this sentence. He took out "TCP/IP Detailed Explanation" from the backpack hanging on the back of the chair, threw it on the dining table, and said, "This is a necessary reference book for developing browsers. I fully understood it in two days. Today is February 2th, and there are still 27 days before departure on March 3th. Take it back and have a look. If you can understand it, then come to discuss academics with me. If you don't understand it, don't talk about it, just be a coolie."

Su Zhaonian picked up "TCP/IP Detailed Explanation" and flipped through it, smoothing things over and saying: "Cheng Zhongwei, this book is in English, your English is so bad, let alone 4 days, even 4 months may not be able to understand it, don't argue with Di Ye, sit down quickly, and listen to him talk about how to develop a browser."

He turned the problem of professional ability into a language problem, which was to save face for Cheng Zhongwei. Just at this time, the waiter started serving the dishes. Cheng Zhongwei was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he sat down and stopped talking.

In 1995, computers were very expensive, ordinary students couldn’t afford them, and school computer rooms were not accessible at all times. As a result, many people could only talk on paper, with extremely weak hands-on skills, and lacked knowledge about network programming, and did not have the basic conditions for developing browsers.

Di Ye knew this very well, so he did not talk about how to develop the browser, but chatted with people one by one to observe whether their thinking was flexible and whether their personality was suitable for the team, and finally selected 16 out of 10 people.

"I really want to take you all to Pengcheng, but Dean Fei is too stingy and only gave 10 places. There is really no way, but you don't need to be discouraged. I will come back next month to report the progress of the research and development to the academy. If it goes well, Dean Fei should agree to give more places, and then I will take you there."

After calming down the six students who were not selected, Di Ye took a drink and came to Cheng Zhongwei's seat. He first praised him for being a good monitor and having leadership skills, and then asked him if he would like to be the deputy leader of the R&D team.

If Zheng Yingyong is a gold-level master, Cheng Zhongwei is at most a bronze-level rookie. He was crushed to pieces just now, and now he is lifted up again.

After the dinner, Di Ye sent everyone back to the north gate of Yunda University. When they parted, Su Zhaonian found an excuse to stay at the end and asked, "Di Ye, we people have never touched the Internet and don't know how to develop browsers. What do you want to do by sending us to Pengcheng with hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

"I'm going to stay in school for a PhD next semester, and I'll be a lecturer by the way, you know?"

"I heard from Zhu Zichun, you are awesome!"

Su Zhaonian praised him sincerely, but Di Ye didn't care. Instead, he said, "I think the teaching quality of our department is very low. This time I spent hundreds of thousands to get you to Pengcheng. Besides being coolies, I also want to do an experiment to see how the teaching method combined with open source and the Internet works. If your level can far surpass those students who have never been to Pengcheng after 3 months, I can convince Dean Fei to promote this method next semester."

"Are you planning to stay in school as a professor in the future?"

"still unsure as of now."

Di Ye stood at the gate of the campus, looking at the bustling street scene outside, and said: "This place of peace of mind is my hometown. There are many cities in the world, but there is only one hometown. I want to start from Yunda to make Yuncheng better."

Su Zhaonian is not a local, but a native of the province. He has lived in Yuncheng for four years and has a deep affection for this provincial capital city. He smiled and said, "You have a good idea, I like it."
