Chapter 387 Qingshan University First Board of Directors

“Qingshan.”

Huang Zheng was obviously more restrained.

"Brother Zheng, come on, feel free to contact me if you have anything. You are welcome to visit my laboratory."

Xu Qingshan's enthusiasm towards Huang Zheng was no less than that towards the other bigwigs. Huang Zheng was flattered, and the others secretly praised him. Among them, Ding Sanshi was the most satisfied.

In their view, Xu Qingshan's attitude represented that he was truly willing to integrate into their group from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, Huang Zheng is the younger brother brought by Ding Sanshi.

When Xu Qingshan gives face to Huang Zheng, he is actually giving face to Ding Sanshi.

"If we want to go, you can't stop us, right?"

Liang Jianzhang and the others joked, and Xu Qingshan naturally agreed to them one by one.

"Okay! The contact information is already added, let's sit down and chat, don't be polite, the food will be cold by then, and you won't be able to eat many skewers."

Zhang Chaoyang, who had been grilling seriously, greeted them and said that he and Ding Sanshi were the ones grilling today. If the food was not tasty after it got cold, it would not be his cooking skills that were the problem.

"That's right, come and try this black pork skewer, don't let me get cold and say my black pigs are not well raised."

Ding Sanshi smiled and handed each person several skewers of black pork.

Xu Qingshan was the first one delivered by Ding Sanshi.

"Don't rush to eat it yet, take a look at the texture of this black pork! Anyone who knows knows that the marbling is top-notch."

Ding Sanshi called out confidently, holding up the black pork skewers in his hand.

Xu Qingshan also held it up to the light and looked at it carefully.

The charcoal-roasted meat has an amber sheen, the crispy edges are slightly curled, and the reddish and brown marble patterns flow like agate under the firelight.

The oil wrapped with cumin seeds sizzles on the iron skewer, emitting a spicy aroma mixed with the smoke of fruit wood, and the minced garlic and chili powder form a crystal crispy shell on the honey-colored surface.

"It seems that Lao Ding has really developed his experience in raising pigs. From now on, NetEase will really be called the Pig Factory."

Xu Qingshan took a bite out of curiosity. The burnt shell shattered as he bit it open, and the pink meat inside oozed out crystal clear gravy. The fat turned into translucent cream, and the granular texture wrapped in black pepper rolled on the tip of his tongue. The wild aroma of oil mixed with the sweet aftertaste rushed into his nose, and the rough aftertaste of charcoal fire remained between his teeth.

"Great! This is the best pork I've ever tasted. Brother Sanshi, please get me a few tender black pigs so I can take them back for my family to taste."

Xu Qingshan just said this, and then he finished the remaining black pork skewers in a few bites, looking at Ding Sanshi eagerly.

False praise: a bunch of fancy words, crazy compliments, and artificial expressions.

Real praise: It’s delicious, it’s so delicious, is there anything else?
Ding Sanshi himself was very down-to-earth. Seeing Xu Qingshan's expression, he knew that this guy was really praising him, so he smiled even more happily, patted his chest, and made a loud promise.

"Of course there is. From now on, as long as my NetEase pig farm is open for one year, I will provide all the pork for your family for the whole year! Come, eat a few more skewers and let them laugh at me."

Ding Sanshi stuffed the freshly baked food into Xu Qingshan's hand again, and Cao Guowei, who was waiting in line, stared with wide eyes.

"Eh, eh? Eh!"

"What? When I told you about raising pigs, you laughed the most happily, Lao Cao. Wait, I'll give it to you next time."

Ding Sanshi rolled his eyes at Cao Guowei.

"Qingshan, these old northerners don't understand. We in Jiangdong, Minyue, and Yuedong are all like this. Especially since I've mainly lived in Yuedong and Beijing in recent years."

Ding Sanshi said cheerfully.

"Indeed, after we make enough money, we care about eating healthy and safe food. If we can own a piece of mountain or a reservoir, build a farmhouse or a villa, raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, and grow some fruits and vegetables, we will live a life that even a god would not change."

"Yes! That's so right!"

Such a down-to-earth barbecue stall party under the overpass, the people sitting here are all successful entrepreneurs with a net worth of tens of millions.

But none of them used any high-sounding words to show their understanding.

Instead, they chatted passionately about life and happiness, just like a group of big boys who had just graduated.

Oh no.

Xu Qingshan really hasn't graduated yet.

Even Zhang Chaoyang, who was squatting beside the barbecue stove and grilling skewers in a depressed mood at the beginning, became visibly excited after eating and drinking for a while. He found Xu Qingshan and Wang Xing, put his arms around their shoulders and said that they were the Three Musketeers of Huaqing.

Lei Jun also sneered and exposed it.

"Isn't Qingshan from Beijing University? Why are you trying to flatter Huaqing?"

"What are you calling me, Han University student? Qingshan is now a visiting professor at Huaqing University, so how can he not be considered as one of our Huaqing University? Didn't you see Qingshan called Wang Xing "senior brother"? If I am Wang Xing's senior brother, then am I not also Qingshan's senior brother? Right, right, Qingshan?"

Zhang Chaoyang is full of logic.

Xu Qingshan smiled helplessly and nodded.

"Yes, yes, Brother Chaoyang is right. Brother Jun, take it easy. You've already had a few bottles."

"It's not a big deal, I'm not drunk."

Lei Jun stood holding the bottle of wine, still with that hearty smile on his face.

Tons tons tons.

"What's wrong with Handa? Qingshan is now my partner, major shareholder, and my best comrade-in-arms."

"Hey, Lao Lei, you're showing off again. You've shown off several times today."

It’s hard to imagine that these Internet giants would be quarreling here.

"Qingshan, do you have any projects that we can all invest in? Then we can all invest in them. Don't let Lao Lei invest in them, because that would make him show off."

Ding Sanshi also came to join in the fun.

Looking at his excited look, Xu Qingshan hesitated for a moment.

"No? Brother Sanshi, didn't you just say that you only talk about romance and not career?"

"Ah? Did I say that?"

Ding Sanshi chuckled.

"It's okay. That was what Ding Sanshi said an hour ago, not what Ding Sanshi said now."

After hearing Ding Sanshi's words, everyone turned their attention to Xu Qingshan.

To be honest, although everyone here is a big shot who has been in business for many years and has been successful in his business.

But they are all very interested in Xu Qingshan's investment direction.

After all, at their level, they could roughly understand the trajectory of Xu Qingshan's rise. It was precisely because of this that they felt even more deeply that Xu Qingshan's talent in business was completely overshadowed by his brilliant scientific research achievements.

If Xu Qingshan had not been a scientist and had focused on business, they really felt that Xu Jinshan's vision and execution ability would surpass most of the people present.

Since investing, I have never failed.

Even the driver used by Cai Wensheng was trained by him to become a capable founder of a milk tea brand.

Everyone made fun of this matter when chatting with Lao Cai.

"You are an old hand, but your ability to judge people is not as good as that of a college student."

This kind of evaluation is really too harsh! "Do you really want to vote?"

Huang Zheng and Wang Xing shrank their heads.

The two little Karamis couldn't afford to vote. One was expecting to be voted by Xu Qingshan, while the other had already been voted by Xu Qingshan.

"Xiao Huang and Xiao Wang are not included. The rest of us have extra funds and don't know where to put them."

Ding Sanshi said with a smile.

NetEase has always adopted a conservative strategy, and cash flow is an aspect that they attach great importance to.

It's not impossible to spend 10 or 80 million to give Xu Qingshan some fun now.

Everyone nodded.

They are really rich. Even Lei Jun nodded his head. Because of Xu Qingshan's investment, Xiaomi now has a lot of cash flow. But it doesn't matter whether he invests or not. Anyway, he and Xu Qingshan are now locked in a relationship. Xiaomi is jointly owned by the two of them, but he is the soul of Xiaomi.

Xu Qingshan thought about it and spoke.

"If that's the case, I do have a big project here that requires a lot of money, but the output of this project may not be any direct economic benefits."

Everyone was curious.

Does this guy really have something?
"What is that? Tell me, Qingshan, you won't think that we are not good enough and don't want to play with us, right?"

Tian Shuning had the elegant demeanor of an international elite just now, but now he was drunk and had taken off his suit jacket. He was only wearing a shirt with a button torn off. His face was very red as he joked.

"Of course not. If a few brothers are willing to take me to play with them, I will definitely be happy to do so."

Xu Qingshan is not pretentious either.

Just from this dinner, it can be seen that none of these people are empty talkers or pretenders, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get along well, he said immediately.

“I plan to build a research university in southern Fujian.”

As soon as Xu Qingshan said this, everyone present was stunned.

Build a university?
"Qingshan, did I hear you right?"

Ding Sanshi opened his eyes wide. His face was broad, and his eyes opened even wider, making him look even more humorous.

"To build a research-oriented university, aren't you currently in Peking University and Huaqing University? Are you going to leave Peking University by then?"

Xu Qingshan shook his head.

"If the school is operational, I will still retain my position and identity in the school, and I am confident that I can transfer some of the resources of Jinda Huaqing to the new university."

"Let me tell you my idea, brothers, please don't laugh at me."

Xu Qingshan smiled honestly.

"No, this is a serious matter. It's not like Lao Ding is raising pigs. We are just curious about the purpose and positioning of this school. Emmm, what is it?"

Zhang Chaoyang said that he was actually quite interested at first, but when he heard that Xu Qingshan wanted to build a school, he became interested.

"I want to make it the Princeton and MIT of China."

Xu Qingshan explained.

"Of course, I will not only focus on the research of basic disciplines. In-depth research in basic disciplines and the commissioning of applied practices are both very necessary."

"In essence, I hope to be able to train talents from mechanism research to experimental development to production application, all the way to market launch and management and operation."

"Originally, I planned to invest in this school by myself, and only work on basic subjects, so the scale would not be too large."

"But if you guys join us, I think we can expand our scale and build a complete research ecosystem. When your companies need talent, this school can meet the needs immediately and create more suitable candidates."

Originally, Xu Qingshan didn’t really want to set up a business school or a school of economics.

But then he thought and thought again.

If Qingshan University relies solely on one person for investment, the source of funds will always be limited. Even if one's assets are high and he becomes the richest man in China, there will still be considerable pressure to maintain the operation of a top university.

But what if I could directly bring in all of China’s top billionaires and entrepreneurs?

"But I have to say this first. If you brothers want to invest in my university, I will set up a board of directors. However, the board of directors only has the right to make suggestions and not the right to make decisions. The direction of this school must be controlled by me personally, and no one else can question it."

When Xu Qingshan said this, his expression became much more serious, proving that he was not joking.

Everyone was stunned when they saw him like this.

Building a university is still too advanced for everyone's cognition.

Especially universities that can customize talents for enterprises.

Although everyone can feel that the real core of the university that Xu Qingshan wants to build should still be the basic scientific research that he is best at, this kind of thing, in the public's perception, basically relies on government funding and has no actual short-term input-output ratio, so he has to invest money himself.

But they were somewhat tempted by the ideas proposed by Xu Qingshan.

Among the people here, many have studied abroad.

Even if you have not studied abroad, you will have contact with some European and American capital and have a general understanding of the situation of some of the top private universities in the United States.

There is no doubt that Xu Qingshan wanted to create a scientific sanctuary in China by integrating the systems of private research universities in Europe and the United States.

But everyone here is a businessman, and the most important thing they need to consider is feasibility.

Seeing that everyone began to ponder, Xu Qingshan knew that they were indeed interested, but not enough, so he spoke up to add fuel to the fire.

"I have already invested 50 billion yuan in my personal advance investment."

"And this university will have some similarities with the Longjiang base I am currently building in Beijing to some extent."

"Everyone should have heard of Southern Fujian, where local relationships are very important. But I am a native of Southern Fujian, and I have already established a relatively deep local foundation in Longjiang and Ludao, so I don't have to worry about the implementation of the project and local support."

"As for educational resources, in addition to Beijing University and Huaqing University, I have many first-class professors and researchers around the world who are very interested in cooperating with me. They will be my key invitation targets when the time comes."

"As for the attitude of the upper echelons, I am also in contact with them, and overall they are open and positive."

Xu Qingshan said this and pointed at the viaduct.

“If the research universities we fund can continue to produce research and inventions that benefit society, then we can benefit society better while making profits. As long as the university does not collapse, the attitude of the higher-ups towards us may become more ambiguous.”

Xu Qingshan did not say the following words too directly.

But everyone present was smart and could more or less understand what he meant.

He was speaking from a businessman's perspective, so they can empathize better.

Everyone became more and more confused.

Just now I was struggling with whether Xu Qingshan's plan was feasible, and now I am struggling with how much I should invest.

In fact, companies like theirs all have relatively important R&D needs.

And this R&D need is not limited to computers.

Mathematical talents, materials science talents, communications talents, etc. As long as the company is big enough, there will be demand for talents in all aspects.

Add to that what Xu Qingshan said.

They were really moved.
