There is no such thing as a god of learning or a master of learning on the market.
If there were, Zhou Xin would definitely be named the God of Zhou.
Nowadays, everyone is relatively simple, or we have not experienced the repeated bombardment of Internet language.
Wang Wei and Li Li only had one thought in their minds, and that was that it was too fast.
Not even half a month had passed since they knew Zhou Xin planned to go abroad to when the matter was completed.
Zhou Xin just nodded, and Cao Yongluo, who was standing at the door, quickly added: "Zhou Xin went to Berkeley.
The best campus in the entire University of California system.
Especially in the field of science and engineering, it is comparable to universities such as Harvard and Yale.
It's at least two levels higher than Santa Barbara, where I'm going.
If you are paying attention, in recent years, no more than five people from Yanda can go to Berkeley each year.
Moreover, it is more difficult to transfer to Berkeley to study for an undergraduate degree than to study for a Ph.D.
I have only heard of people who graduated and went to Berkeley to study for Ph.D., but I have never heard of anyone who transferred to Berkeley. "
The data here comes from an interview conducted by Li Guozhong, director of the Yantai University Student Career Service Center, in 2002, Harvard University (4 people in 2000), and Stanford University (16 people in 2000). From this, it is estimated that there will be no more than five people at Berkeley. .
Wang Wei interrupted: "Do we still not know the value of Berkeley?
A school on the same level as MIT is at most a little worse than Harvard and Yale.
It's really good, and I was able to transfer to Berkeley.
Do you have a scholarship to go there? "
In order to avoid too many questions from the other party and to leave a little legend about his upcoming departure from Yanda, Zhou Xin directly explained the matter to his roommates in general:
“I sent an email to the professor at Berkeley, which mainly discussed a certain paper of his.
Then the other party wrote back to me and conducted two rounds of telephone interviews and one round of remote written examination.
Then the other party sent me an offer.
I transferred to another school and started studying directly from my senior year. After graduating from undergraduate degree, I studied directly with that professor for my Ph.D.
Scholarships have been available since undergraduate level, but I don’t know the specific amount yet.
But the professor told me that he would help me arrange my flight from Yanjing to San Francisco. "
After Zhou Xin finished speaking, the three people present had a common thought in their hearts: I am so sore.
Wang Wei was dumbfounded that there was such an operation.
Those who can get admitted to Yanjing University from provinces other than Yanjing City must have strong logical reasoning ability.
The three people present could quickly deduce that Zhou Xin must have performed at a very high level in the interview and written test.
Otherwise, how could you get such preferential treatment?
It’s skipping a grade, studying for a bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree, and it’s a full scholarship, and even air tickets are included.
Cao Yongluo murmured: "Besides being awesome, I can't think of any other adjective.
You should be the best in our class.
Is Santa Barbara far from Berkeley? "
Zhou Xin said: "It's not very far. It takes about four or five hours by train."
Cao Yongluo slapped his hands fiercely: "This is a day worth celebrating.
Not only is it a celebration of our roommate's successful transfer from Yanda to Berkeley for undergraduate, master's and doctoral studies, but it is also a celebration that our friendship can continue at Amerikan.
To celebrate, I’ll invite you all to have a meal at Yanjing Restaurant at noon tomorrow.
Is this sincerity enough? "
Zhou Xin smiled and nodded.
Going back twenty years ago, when food additives were not so popular, he had too much to do and didn't have much time to taste the delicacies of Yanjing in this era.
Going to Yanjing Hotel is an opportunity for Zhou Xin to enrich his life experience.
How did the century-old Yanjing Hotel taste in 1998?
Wang Wei and Li Li said in unison: "That's interesting!"
Zhou Xin added: "I am really short of money now, I will go to Amerikan later.
Come see me in Berkeley and I'll definitely treat you to a feast. "
Zhou Xin is actually a very social person, but now he has a sense of mission in his heart pushing him forward.
He had no time and did not dare to waste any time.
The more people in the industry know, the more they understand the huge gap between China and the Western world in the semiconductor field and even in the entire high-precision technology field.
Even with more than 200 technologies transferred by Samsung, it is still not easy to catch up with the entire industry chain.
Moreover, few of these technologies can be put to use right away. Most of them require some pre-requisite technologies to mature before they can be put to use.
"Haha no problem."
Zhou Xin told the three people in the dormitory, which actually meant he told everyone.
Breaking news like this spreads very quickly.
The first person who came to the door was the counselor, hoping that he would impart some experience to everyone and give everyone a lecture on the theme of studying abroad.
Especially how to set magnets.
Zhou Xin agreed. After all, Yan University is still very valuable. This is also a preparation for recruiting people to start a business in China in the future.
It’s never too late to start building a personal brand.
He could even guess the title of the report that media reporters would use to dig up this past incident in the future:
"Success is no accident. Zhou Xin held a lecture at Yanda in 1998."
The second person who came to the door was the study abroad institution. Jin Jilie, the person in charge of publicity, came to the door personally and expressed his hope that Zhou Xin had claimed in the lecture that he had successfully applied for Berkeley's bachelor's, master's and doctoral qualifications under Jin Jilie's guidance.
If Zhou Xin is willing, they are willing to offer a high price of 50,000 RMB.
Zhou Xin was noncommittal at first and said he wanted to think about it.
Almost immediately, Wang Qiang came to the door.
Wang Qiang was one of the three early giants of New Oriental. He graduated from the English Department of Yan University and then went to the State University of New York to change coding. After working at Bell Labs for two years, he returned to New Oriental to become a teacher.
At this time, he had just become famous in the English training world.
As Wang Qiang, who had taught at Yanda for a period of time, he had connections at Yanda, so it would be easy to find Zhou Xin.
"Hello, classmate Zhou, I am Wang Qiang from New Oriental.
You have almost the same temperament as I expected.
That state of complete immersion in a field of interest.
No wonder he accomplished so much in his sophomore year. "
If the other party is Yu Minhong or Xu Xiaoping, Zhou Xin will definitely know who the other party is.
But although Wang Qiang is known as the Big Three, to be honest, Zhou Xin has no impression at all.
He just asked politely: "Thank you, Teacher Wang, for the compliment. May I ask if you have any business with me?"
Zhou Xin was tired of being disturbed.
Every time I walk on the street, I receive notes of love.
I don’t even think about how I could have a cross-border relationship when I am about to go abroad.
Long-distance relationships are not even talked about by dogs, let alone foreign relationships.
Wang Qiang explained: “We at New Oriental hope to advertise.
When I was giving a lecture at Yanda, I hope I would say that I applied to Berkeley under the guidance of New Oriental.
We will follow up with publicity in the media, and at the same time we will use you to promote New Oriental.
Your image rights may be required. "
It is always easy for smart people to think of going together.
