Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 148 The Seven Bridges of Königsberg Problem
Watson took out a notebook from the compartment of his backpack. He took off the Parker pen inserted in the notebook, then opened the notebook, pointed to the content of one of the pages with the pen and said: "This is what I use to assess students. As long as you can solve it, I will reward you with the money."

Niu Xiaoqiang has never heard of the fact that he can get a bonus for answering questions, so is this too ridiculous?Don't teachers give out certificates of praise when they praise students?

He asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to see what is the capital of your arrogance. You actually dismiss MIT. This deeply hurts my self-esteem. You can take this as a challenge. If you succeed in the challenge, you will get the corresponding rewards." Reward, if the challenge fails, then don’t blame me for looking down on you, how about it, do you have the guts to try it?”

Watson is obviously using the aggressive method, Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't care about aggressive tactics, he only cares about the RMB in Watson's hand.

Because of the tight rumors recently, Niu Xiaoqiang has been afraid to go out to make money for more than a month.Seeing that his family is engaged in double-grabbing, and has to spend money to buy pesticides and fertilizers for the next round of sowing, he is of course eager for RMB.

After a short period of weighing, Niu Xiaoqiang finally decided to give it a try.He is not afraid of failure in the challenge. Anyway, the other party is a foreigner, and he won't meet him often, so it doesn't matter if he loses face.But if the challenge is successful, he will be rewarded handsomely.

"Okay, I accept your challenge."

Watson handed the notebook and pen to Niu Xiaoqiang with a smile, and said in his heart: If you are troubled by the topic, don’t blame me. When you are at a loss, I will implement the next plan and see if you are moved or not. !

Niu Xiaoqiang looked down at the question carefully, the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became. Obviously, the question Watson asked was very difficult.

This question is an improved version of the famous "Seven Bridges of Königsberg Problem". After Watson's transformation, even those who have known "The Seven Bridges of Königsberg Problem" before can hardly answer it.

Watson took this question out as a test topic, not to test how smart the students' minds are.In his opinion, it is impossible for even the brightest student to solve this problem in a short time.

The reason why he adapted such a question is mainly to firmly attract the best quality students.

When the students who are being assessed fail to think hard, Watson will implement the next step of the seduction plan.

He has already compiled the problem-solving method into a computer program and stored it in the laptop. When the time comes, he only needs to turn on the computer and enter a few simple instructions, and the answer to the improved version of the Königsberg Seven Bridges problem will be displayed on the screen.Will the students be dumbfounded after watching it?Will you feel shocked?Do you feel that a teacher like yourself is very powerful?
Watson felt that this novel admissions method could firmly attract those high-quality students, so as not to be snatched away by other universities.

As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and there is competition among the world's top universities.In the case of almost the same hardware facilities, what really needs to compete is talents.

Every year during the admissions season, many students submit applications to more than one university.They also have the right to choose freely. When universities are selecting them, they are also selecting universities at the same time. Among them, the best students are the goals of all universities.Although MIT is very powerful, other universities are not necessarily much worse.

Such as Harvard, Yale, California Berkeley, Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford, etc., these world's top universities compete for high-quality students every year.

Whether a school is good or not depends mainly on its talents.High-quality students will be the backbone of the top scientific research fields in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that the progress of science is driven by these outstanding talents.

The name of MIT is very resounding, so it can attract many high-quality students every year, but this is not enough.It must be known that those top students are also very arrogant. To win their favor, in addition to relying on the school's name, they must find ways to arouse their interest. Only in this way can they be completely won.

The tactic Watson thought of is indeed relatively novel. Some students were hesitant to go to Harvard or MIT. As a result, when Watson used this tactic, these vacillating students immediately decided to go to MIT. belief.

This is also easy to understand: they are also top universities in the world. If it were you, would you rather go to a school with a novel teaching method, or a relatively rigid school?

Students are also human beings, and they also like a relaxed and novel learning atmosphere. Watson's tricks just have these characteristics, so he can recruit those top students he likes every year.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation as Niu Xiaoqiang.When enrolling students in the past, no matter how good the student is, even if they have won the gold medal in the Mathematical Olympiad, they will show the minimum respect and respect to MIT, because this school has the strength to make them feel respected and respected .

Watson just said that Niu Xiaoqiang hurt his self-esteem. This sentence is really not nonsense, but his sincere words.

What do you mean by "why should I go to MIT"?What contempt is this!If that's the case, then no wonder I plotted against you, I don't believe you won't take the bait!
Twenty-five minutes later, Niu Xiaoqiang was still frowning and thinking, and Watson couldn't help but secretly proud.He felt the pleasure of revenge, but also felt elated.

——Don’t you kid think you’re great?Just now, he still looked arrogant, hum, how do you feel now?Ha ha ha ha!
"Have it!"

When Watson was secretly complacent, Niu Xiaoqiang suddenly slapped his thigh and yelled.

Niu Xiaoqiang spoke Chinese, but Watson did not understand.Unprepared, he was taken aback, and asked with a racing heart: "What were you talking about just now?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't answer, he was writing furiously in his notebook with a pen.Under Watson's gaze, he wrote out the formula line by line.After writing the formula, Niu Xiaoqiang drew two geometric figures and marked them with symbols.

After doing all this, Niu Xiaoqiang finally had time to speak: "Mr. Watson, these are the solutions I came up with. I have written them out in detail. Please check them out."

Watson was completely stunned, his mind seemed to have entered another world, and he didn't respond to Niu Xiaoqiang's words.
