“Roughly speaking, it means that people have various needs, and these needs are arranged from high to low. When low-level needs are satisfied, high-level needs will be pursued.
The lowest level of needs are physiological needs, such as food, water, air, sex, etc.
Then there are security requirements, which require a stable and safe environment.
A further step is social needs, the need to have relationships and to be loved.
The next step up is respect, self-respect and the respect others have for you.
Further up is the need for cognition, the pursuit of knowledge.
New Oriental's business is of high level in terms of demand theory.
You should also be able to see from the operating data that your revenue scale and profits are showing a rapid growth trend. "
Wang Qiang nodded frequently. Zhou Xin's words helped him further realize that working at New Oriental was the right thing to do and that he had a bright future.
“I understand, and we often discuss it in our internal meetings, that the wealth in society is a piece of cake.
Originally, the cake may only be enough to satisfy everyone's need to fill their bellies.
As the cake grows, more segmented needs will arise, such as clothing, travel, watching movies, etc.
Studying abroad is a very expensive requirement. Only families whose current needs are met will have extra cake to consider studying abroad for their children.
That is to say, the bigger the cake, the more cake New Oriental can get.
However, New Oriental is not only engaged in the field of studying abroad. Our main business is various English training, and this cake is easier to grow. "
"Yes, so senior brother, you should work hard at New Oriental. If you do well, you will have a bright future."
Zhou Xin naturally also inquired about Wang Qiang's origins from the counselor. In his opinion, famous teachers who joined New Oriental so early must have done well later.
When New Oriental was expanding in its early days, those assigned to branch campuses in other places as principals basically started with an annual salary of one million.
From the perspective of buying a house, one million in the early 2000s is more valuable than ten million in later generations.
Wang Qiang asked: "Since you are so optimistic about New Oriental, have you ever thought about returning to China and working in New Oriental?
I am also helping Lao Yu recruit you.
We can definitely provide first-class treatment. "
In fact, in this era, if you want to live well, there are countless paths you can take.
There is no need to go to Berkeley. With his ability, he can drop out of school and start a business, use the information gap to build an Internet company, and then sell the company.
Use the accumulated original capital to engage in angel investment.
You can achieve financial freedom casually.
But why go to Berkeley? Why continue to look for Hu Zhengming?
The most important reason is that we hope that when China's chip industry faces a complete blockade in the future, China will have a way out and countermeasures.
He didn't want to see a bunch of companies taking large sums of money for subsidies, while domestic equipment was still in the laboratory stage.
Once the leader pays attention, it is confirmed that it is ready. In fact, it needs to be taken to the production workshop for experimentation and debugging.
As an industry insider, Zhou Xin is completely up the food chain. Including his personal relationship with Liang Mengsong, he knows very well how the localization of the chip industry is going.
From the establishment of the big fund in 2014, it became the consensus of the entire Chinese society to solve the stuck problem after 18 years.
In fact, until Zhou Xin arrived in 2020, the domestic equipment rate of China's 28nm chip production line was only 15%.
Even if everything goes well, China will not have the ability to nationally produce 28nm chips until 2030.
At that time, Western countries had begun to produce 1nm.
By then, relying on the advantage of computing power, the gap between foreign artificial intelligence and domestic artificial intelligence will be very large.
After coming to this era, Zhou Xin spent many nights wondering whether he should struggle.
What kept Zhou Xin going every time was his time in Washington.
As the capital of America, there are very few Chinese in Washington. Most of the Chinese are concentrated in California, New York and New Jersey.
Zhou Xin felt a deep sense of loneliness when he was in Washington. Because his work was very sensitive, although it was a commercial activity, he was on the front line of the battle between the two giants Amerikan and China.
Any actions he takes will be seen as representing Chinese officials, a Washington lobbyist told him privately.
Zhou Xin always had the illusion that his calls were being monitored.
During his one year in Washington, he deeply realized that Amerikan had reached a consensus to curb China's development in all high-tech fields.
Semiconductors are just where Amerikan found its grip.
When Zhou Xin came to this era, he hoped that when he went to Washington again twenty years later, they would be a negotiation, not a plea like he was in Washington back then.
Wang Qiang didn't know why the other party suddenly fell silent, but saw Zhou Xin staring blankly at the teacup in front of him.
“Sometimes there are many easy roads, but I just want to take a less easy road.
According to Maslow's needs theory, what I pursue is a certain degree of transcendence. "
China's gap in the semiconductor field is all-round and cannot be surpassed by one person.
It is an almost impossible task for one person to catch up in the semiconductor field.
Some systems also say that deus ex machina can solve all real-world problems.
“So New Oriental is a good choice, but my needs are not there.
I would like to thank New Oriental for giving me 100,000 RMB to help me meet my low-level needs. "Zhou Xin didn't want the atmosphere to be too serious, so he joked.
Wang Qiang realized that the young boy in front of him had ambitions that were difficult for him to understand: "Well, our Lord Yan must have this spirit of swallowing up thousands of miles like a tiger!
Come on, let me have tea instead of wine and wish my junior brother everything goes well after he goes to Berkeley! "
On the eve of leaving Yanjing, Zhou Xin had been studying efficiently except for getting together with his roommates again.
He needs to understand the current stage of development of integrated circuits in academia and industry.
At the same time, I am also preparing for what I need to bring out after going to Berkeley and how far I need to show my strength.
It is necessary to lighten the muscles.
Although he got along very well with Hu Zhengming in his previous life, it did not mean that he wanted to be used as a labor force when he went to Berkeley this time.
Working in exchange for a doctorate is the path for most people.
The chips in Zhou Xin's hands didn't need to go this way.
Time is precious, and there are too many things to do. Zhou Xin also wants to get a start-up capital from Hu Zhengming.
The 100,000 RMB given by New Oriental is at best living expenses. If you want to start your own business, you should start a business in Amerikan. One hundred thousand RMB will not make a splash even if it is wasted.
