After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 257 You just need to submit the application; if it doesn't pass, it's on me!

The current education system in China is still very rigid; even for direct doctoral programs, it takes at least eight years.

For you, it's been four years straight.

Cheng Jianye was completely dumbfounded: "Will the Ministry of Education approve it?"

"Just submit the application; if it doesn't pass, it's on me!" Hao Cheng said.

"Okay!" Hao Cheng said, and Cheng Jianye believed him and did it without even asking a question. He immediately nodded and went to do the preparations.

"Should we prepare for both possibilities?" Zhang Lin asked, feeling he should bring it up regardless of whether it was appropriate or not.

"No, if the Ministry of Education doesn't approve it, we won't do it here. We'll set up our own training institution and issue them training certification certificates from Baiju Technology. I refuse to believe that our own system can't support this!"

Hao Cheng's meaning is quite clear, and I believe the relevant leaders will understand it.

……

Indeed, the day after Cheng Jianye returned, he directly joined forces with the relevant admissions and employment working group to submit applications for related majors. Following Hao Cheng's suggestion, a total of three major groups were formed, offering eleven professional directions for a four-year doctoral program starting from high school.

The professional committee received the application that same day.

Of course, they dared not make a decision themselves, and immediately reported it up the chain of command.

"Hao Cheng, you've given me a real problem!" The person in charge was also looking worried.

"Can't we just refuse them outright? They could at least apply for a five-year program. Four years, and while others get a bachelor's degree, they're going straight for a doctorate. Isn't that a bit much?" someone said.

"Reject? Believe it or not, if you reject it today, Baiju Technology might dare to create its own system tomorrow!" The person in charge shook his head: "Do you think this is an application? This is a notification!"

"Do it yourself? We don't recognize their degrees, what's the point? They're operating illegally!"

"Hehe! You still haven't grasped the situation. Don't you understand what Baiju Technology's social recognition is like now? Why would they need to issue a bachelor's degree? There's no need!"
"Just like many training institutions now, is Baiju Technology's technical certification valid? Is Baiju Technology's learning experience certificate valid? As long as its own system is recognized, this circle can keep moving!"

"At worst, we can partner with Linzhou University or any other school to issue bachelor's degrees, right? But then, what do you think will happen? We'll just become a laughing stock!"
"What? You don't recognize the talent that Baiju Technology carefully selected and certified as an innovative talent by Xiaosha? Do you know what the result will be after Baiju Technology's technology is further improved?"
"We may seem like an authoritative institution, but if we fall too far behind and become too detached from reality, then the value of everything we certify will be greatly reduced."

"Once Baiju Technology and all its upstream and downstream partners, including thousands or even tens of thousands of high-tech companies, recognize their own learning experience and certification standards, then... hehe!"

There's one thing the person in charge didn't mention: the evaluation system for titles, academicians, etc. But there's no need to say anything; Baiju Technology is already showing signs of completely ignoring this whole thing.

At that time, in addition to state-owned enterprises, public institutions, and civil servants recognizing academic qualifications, a high-tech system based on Baiju Technology will recognize another set of standards. Putting aside whether it is feasible, even if it is, it will become a joke in the world.

"Wait a minute, I'll continue reporting!" The education authorities couldn't make such a crucial decision. ...

Time flies, and 24 hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Cheng, shall we announce it now?" Cao Song asked.

"Okay, announce it." Hao Cheng nodded.

A few minutes later, a notice titled "Announcement on the Launch of the Baiju Technology Talent Certification Program" was posted on the official website, which read as follows:

"The demand for talent from Baiju Technology, Xiaosha-related companies, and Baiju Technology's partner companies that have gathered together to climb the peak of technology is increasing rapidly. The demand is mainly concentrated in high-tech talents that did not exist in previous technology fields, such as the training and use of micro-consciousness AI, five-sense cognitive networks, intelligent life science, and metacognitive chip design."

"Current higher education lacks relevant professional programs and personnel. In order to meet the needs of us, our partners, and affiliated companies, we are now conducting talent training and certification for the whole society."

"Talent training is based on individual voluntariness and relies on Xiao Sha's special skills certification. Upon successful completion of the training, Xiao Sha will be awarded the 'Baiju Technology Talent Certification Certificate (Junior, Intermediate, Senior)' and the 'Baiju Technology Training Experience Certificate'."

"Subsequently, the recruitment and promotion of talents by Baiju Technology and its affiliated companies will be subject to the above-mentioned certificates as a restriction condition."

The announcement, once released, quickly caused a stir.

Some cheered, some were confused, and some were angry.

For example, the person in charge of education might get very annoyed at this point. "Your application has been submitted, and I didn't say I wouldn't approve it. I just reported it to my superiors, which took a little time, and you're giving me this kind of treatment."

Isn't this a provocation?
"Do you think this is a provocation?" The leaders of the Political Affairs Department smiled and said, "I know Hao Cheng, and he did it on purpose. But have you ever thought about why?"
"You can recognize medical doctors, so why can't you recognize people certified by Xiao Sha? Isn't Xiao Sha more authoritative than those you recommend? I think so."

"Besides, Xiao Sha can't fake it, and he can't pull strings. Don't blame others for making things difficult for you; it's you who's being made difficult. If you have absolute principles and would never open a back door, Hao Cheng will understand if there are special circumstances. Even if you reject their application, he won't have any complaints."

"But, ask yourselves honestly, are you like that? Then tell me, what's wrong with the people Xiao Sha chose?"

"The public is angry, but with Xiao Sha's actions, people will only cheer! Provocation?!"
"Let me say it again, Hao Cheng is a very pure person. He doesn't understand the intricacies of this society. Once he discovers one of them, he will deal with you one by one. Just wait and see."

Hao Cheng is a person who is both loved and hated, but even if you hate him, no one can do anything about him now, so you can only let him be.

Therefore, within 72 hours, that is, within one day of Baiju Technology's announcement, Linzhou University's application for the relevant major was specially approved.

Linzhou University immediately launched a hardcore recruitment campaign titled "If you have talent, come join us! Certified by Xiao Sha, no tricks involved!" which instantly ignited the entire education sector and society at large.
