However, Zhongshan University excels in liberal arts fields such as business administration, medicine, humanities, and social sciences. While it does have science programs, they are not the most outstanding, merely ranking near the top.
When it comes to top-tier science schools, one must rely on the seven well-known universities known as the "Seven Sons of National Defense."
Of course, given the choice between near and far, who prefers far? Gao Nian decided to give Zhongshan University a chance.
If they were willing to accept Gao Nian's suggestion and increase investment in science, aggressively recruit renowned science professors and outstanding graduate students, and purchase a large number of scientific research instruments to make up for the shortcomings in science.
And then shift the school's focus from "emphasizing liberal arts over science" to "emphasizing science over liberal arts."
Then Geek Technology would provide a large amount of financial resources to cooperate with them in "industry-academia-research," deeply binding them together.
As time slowly passed, Gao Nian, accompanied by President Wu and other school leaders, spent half a day roughly inspecting Zhongshan University.
During this time, Gao Nian repeatedly saw people widening their eyes, as if seeing a super celebrity.
Some of those who had previously seen Gao Nian at Zhongshan University or knew him became quite excited.
However, perhaps due to the strong influence of President Wu and other school leaders, although they were eager to try, they did not dare to come over and talk.
Nevertheless, although they didn't dare to come over and talk, the news and photos of Gao Nian's visit to Zhongshan University spread like wildfire among the various Geek chat groups and the Zhongshan University forum.
This shows that with the passage of time, Gao Nian has quietly become a highly recognizable celebrity.
"President Gao, how about holding a temporary lecture?"
President Wu said with a smile, offering his suggestion.
"It's not good to disturb the students' studies."
Gao Nian shook his head slightly, saying that when he was a student, the thing he hated the most was the speeches of school leaders, because they could ramble on for at least ten minutes or half an hour.
"We can adopt a voluntary approach. Those who want to listen to the lecture can come, and those who don't want to listen won't be forced."
President Wu said with a smile, offering his suggestion.
"Is that so?"
Gao Nian hesitated slightly.
"Gao Nian, it's good to work silently, but sometimes you have to let others know what you're doing."
Professor Bai Ze said softly.
"Yes."
Gao Nian earnestly agreed, recalling a story that Professor Bai Ze had taught him.
The theme of this story can be described in one sentence: "If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth; if the words are not smooth, the matter will not be accomplished."
That is to say, 'When you want to use troops, first strive for legitimacy. If the person is upright, the name is correct; if the name is correct, the heart is correct; if the heart is correct, the intention is sincere; there is emotion and reason.'
Therefore, when you are doing 'public welfare' things such as 'serving the people,' you must speak it out, so that others will recognize you, and then they will help you invisibly or directly.
This is also the principle that 'those who are virtuous receive much help, while those who are unrighteous receive little help.'
Conversely, if you just work silently and others don't know, it's equivalent to doing it in vain, relying only on your own strength, and the probability of failure is very high.
"Then I'll go arrange it."
President Wu said with a smile, and then went to find someone to be responsible for this matter.
Soon, the news that Gao Nian was going to give a temporary lecture spread rapidly.
After that, it naturally caused a sensation at the school, and the students rushed to Liangju Hall.
Liangju Hall was built in 1984 and has an auditorium that can accommodate 1,700 people.
Therefore, when the school holds meetings or events, they like to hold them in Liangju Hall.
As time slowly passed, when Gao Nian and President Wu and a group of people slowly walked into Liangju Hall, they were immediately stunned by the crowd in front of them.
Because not only were the seats inside full, but the areas next to them where people could stand and the corridors were also full of people.
"It seems that President Gao is very popular with the students. This is a rare phenomenon."
President Wu showed a surprised expression.
"They're just here to see the excitement."
Gao Nian said with a smile, then slowly walked into the door and toward the stage.
Arriving at the center of the stage, looking at the dense crowd of Zhongshan University students in front of him, Gao Nian cupped his hands in thanks and said:
"Thank you all for your enthusiastic support, so that I won't have to face the awkward scene of only a dozen people in such a large venue."
"Haha."
The students who heard Gao Nian's words burst into laughter.
After laughing, Gao Nian continued:
"This time, I was invited by President Wu to give a temporary lecture.
The theme of this lecture is 'The Future of China.'"
"Oh?"
Hearing Gao Nian's words, the people at the scene instantly brightened their eyes, not expecting that Gao Nian would use such a lecture theme.
"What do you think the future of China looks like?"
A young female student immediately raised her hand.
"It must be the strongest country in the world."
At this time, Gao Nian's palm pointed to the next male student, making a gesture of invitation.
"Manufacturing will be number one in the world, becoming the world's factory!"
Gao Nian's palm continued to point to the next student, allowing the next student to speak.
"It will definitely surpass the United States!"
"Aircraft carriers will enter the sea like dumplings!"
"It will definitely be the country with the highest sense of happiness."
Listening to the students describing the future of China one by one, Gao Nian just nodded and didn't speak, with a faint smile on his lips.
In this way, after asking several classmates in a row, Gao Nian said with a smile:
"It can be seen that everyone is quite optimistic about the future of our China.
After all, our GDP maintains such a high growth rate, so the future is naturally very optimistic and beautiful."
Speaking here, Gao Nian paused for a moment and then continued:
"The reason why we can maintain such a high rate of economic growth is actually because we have been continuously undertaking the global industrial transfer.
Because the production costs in foreign countries are too high, their companies, in order to maintain competitiveness, can only move their factories to China, where labor costs are lower.
Then, they use China's low labor costs to manufacture goods for their use. This behavior is called industrial transfer.
And this behavior has also brought us huge employment opportunities, allowing our economy to maintain high-speed growth,
Eventually, everything is thriving."
Speaking here, Gao Nian's expression became serious and said:
"According to the current development trend, in more than ten years, our China will definitely become a true world factory in the future.
But if we don't work hard for some things ourselves, then they will become our eternal shortcomings.
Because the West will never move the truly core high-precision industries and manufacturing plants to China, after all, this is their housekeeping skill.
Moreover, the goods produced by these high-precision factories are often very expensive because they have superb technology and manufacturing processes. The high labor cost is not a big deal.
Therefore, in terms of high-precision industries, if we in China don't work hard ourselves, then there is no way to produce high-precision goods ourselves, and we can only rely on others.
What is the price of relying on others?
The price is that we can only humiliatingly spend expensive prices to buy other people's goods, and we have to thank them humbly for being willing to sell us things, for fear that they will stop selling them.
In order to solve this situation, naturally someone needs to stand up, so our Geek Technology Company stood up.
Presumably, in the past few months, everyone has often seen in the news that our Geek Technology Company is either acquiring this or acquiring that.
The reason for this is because we have been investing in three major fields: computer hardware, mobile phone hardware, and semiconductor manufacturing.
The purpose is to take advantage of the remaining strength to make up for the shortcomings of the lack of high-precision in China's electronic industry, so that China can catch up with the pace of the West, so as not to fall behind too much!"
