Chapter 1645 The Legend of Niu Xiaoqiang ([-])

The classmate showed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "When it comes to this issue, we have to start with an incident a few months ago—no, it should start with Niu Xiaoqiang's entry into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

The reporter nodded slightly: "Speak slowly, try to be as detailed as possible, I won't waste your time for nothing, and I will give you the breaking news fee after I finish speaking."

The students lifted their spirits when they heard this, and began to tell about Niu Xiaoqiang's many deeds: "I remember that it was two years ago. One day when I passed by the entrance of the computer department building, I saw several well-known professors in the school. When we walked into the computer department together, I thought they were there for a meeting, but later I heard that they were not there, but a freshman from the district team who had not yet entered the school to conduct a talent assessment."

The student explained here: "You may not be very clear about what a genius test is. Let me explain to you. The talent test is a special regulation formulated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The main purpose of this regulation is to recruit those who are not Students who meet the normal admission requirements, but are excellent students themselves, want to meet the threshold of the genius assessment, the conditions are very harsh, and it is many times more difficult than the normal assessment. According to what I have learned, since the Massachusetts From the day when the Institute of Technology was established until today, there are only a few students who have participated in the talent assessment, and they all passed the assessment without exception, and they are known as geniuses among geniuses."

The student changed the subject when he said this: "But if you want to say who is the most powerful genius, it must be Niu Xiaoqiang. According to the students who know the inside story, Niu Xiaoqiang showed great talent in the process of participating in the talent assessment. The strength that shocked the professors, all the professors who participated in this assessment sent invitations to him on the spot, and wanted to recruit him into their departments. The conditions they offered made us ordinary students feel shocked and envious .”

The student's face revealed an expression of amazement: "You must know that these professors are all top-level existences in MIT, and any one they randomly select has a super high status in the international academic circles. Since they all offer such generous Recruiting Niu Xiaoqiang is conditional, which shows just how powerful Niu Xiaoqiang is!"

The reporter asked excitedly while recording: "What happened later? Did Niu Xiaoqiang agree to them?"

The student smiled wryly and shook his head: "Unfortunately, Niu Xiaoqiang rejected the invitations of these professors. No matter how attractive the conditions offered by the professors, they failed to attract him. If it were me, I would definitely not refuse." , This is the gap between people."

The reporter asked: "Why did Niu Xiaoqiang refuse the invitation of these famous professors? Do you know the reason?"

The student sighed: "It is said that it is because he doesn't want to make himself so tired, and wants to have more time to do what he wants to do."

The reporter asked curiously, "What does he want to do?"

The student showed reverence: "At the beginning, everyone didn't know what he wanted to do, but after a while, the MIT Department of Computer Science suddenly released an artificial intelligence robot, which was nominally developed by Professor Watson. But many people speculate that Niu Xiaoqiang must have played a key role in it."

Of course the reporter knew about Professor Watson's announcement of the intelligent robot, so he let out a groan, and then asked, "And then, what earth-shattering events did Niu Xiaoqiang do?"

The student's expression was a bit strange: "Then Niu Xiaoqiang completely disappeared from everyone's sight. He seldom came to school. Since the release of the artificial intelligence robot, he has not shown up for several months. At the beginning, everyone Everyone thought he was working on some big project again, but everyone later found out that Niu Xiaoqiang didn’t use any new projects, and the reason why he suddenly disappeared was because he was busy with business.”

The reporter showed a look of extreme surprise: "What did you say? He is busy with business?"

The student nodded: "Yes, it's business. According to rumors, Niu Xiaoqiang has been doing business since he disappeared. He is so smart, and he must be very good at business. Of course, everyone doesn't know him. What kind of business did he do, just guessing that he was very successful."

The reporter rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Do you know which classmates Niu Xiaoqiang is usually close to? Or who is he familiar with? Did he pull his classmates to do business together?"

The reporter obviously wanted to inquire about Niu Xiaoqiang's business situation. The student thought for a while before answering: "If you want to say which students he is familiar with, of course you have to count the students in the Department of Computer Science. It is said that he introduced many Students from the Department of Computer Science go out to do part-time jobs, and the remuneration is not bad. Some students even signed labor contracts with part-time companies in advance. The remuneration of these students who have signed labor contracts is higher than the general market. Yes, they can all enjoy the treatment of interest-free student loans, which not only solves the problem of repaying tuition loans, but also gets a very high salary."

The reporter hurriedly asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Do you know which company these students signed the labor contract with?"

The student immediately replied: "It's a company called Hewlett-Packard Computer. This company is quite famous in Boston. I heard that the service attitude and work efficiency are very good. As long as you buy a computer from their company, no matter when it breaks down , as long as a phone call, they will immediately send someone to repair, if it is the quality of the computer itself, they will not charge any fees, and even the replacement parts do not need to be paid by the customer, even if it is caused by the customer's own reasons Faults, they will only charge the cost, and they will not make more money from customers through maintenance. Because of this, their business is getting bigger and bigger, and their reputation is so good. I heard that this company has monopolized Boston. The local computer business is preparing to expand to other regions."

The reporter is a person who has seen many worlds, and he has never heard of such a thoughtful service concept of Hewlett-Packard.Labor costs in the United States are relatively high, especially outside normal working hours. Many American workers are unwilling to work overtime.If you want them to work overtime, you need to pay very high overtime pay.

Since Hewlett-Packard is able to provide after-sales service of products on call, it must have paid a lot of money, and they don't know how they ensure profits.
