Chapter 158: Rising House Prices
"Damn, I made a fortune!"
"Yes, it doubled!"
In Jiang Hao's office at Jiang Hao-Songwan College, Zhejiang University, Jiang Hao's two students, Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu, were watching the nationwide housing prices skyrocketing overnight. The two were excitedly enjoying the thrill of getting rich.
Since studying with teacher Jiang Hao, because of the large number of projects and overtime work, Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu not only receive nearly one million in various subsidies and wages each month, but more importantly, they are the first to know a lot of news.
Therefore, Jiang Hao's two students, Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu, not only enhanced their academic abilities in a tearing manner following their teacher Jiang Hao, but also increased their personal wealth in a sudden way.
Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu were very wealthy, and part of their money was invested in the private equity fund "JJ Capital" on Wall Street;
Another part was invested in "Jiangfa Real Estate" under Jiangfa Group.
The return on their investment from "Jiangfa Real Estate" was in the form of houses, so with the expansion of "Jiangfa Real Estate", Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu together owned hundreds of houses across the country.
Before, the two simply rented out these houses, enjoying fixed rental income every month and making a stable fixed asset investment.
But now, the two of them saw that the prices of these houses had skyrocketed overnight!
When they saw teacher Jiang Hao's car parked downstairs, the two "nouveau riche" rushed over to greet the teacher.
Jiang Hao had just got off the car when he saw two students running towards him in a panic. Jiang Hao's heart tightened: Is there something wrong?
The homework that Jiang Hao recently assigned to these two students was to improve the drone flight control programming based on a piece of "Jiang Hao Mathematics" logic.
Jiang Hao has completed the core algorithm of this programming.
For Jiang Hao, this job is not too difficult. After all, when he was working on "Jiang Hao Mathematics" before, he had made many innovations in computer programming because he had to use computer computing power to do mathematical model calculations. Now what Jiang Hao has to do is to professionalize these accumulated computer programming innovations.
Similarly, Jiang Hao felt that this job was not too difficult for his two students. As long as they improved themselves, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?
But seeing how flustered they were, Jiang Hao was a little panicked: Could it be that there was something wrong with the programming? This shouldn't be the case!
When Wang Tingzheng said, "Teacher, you really want to do real estate!"
Jiang Hao was speechless. After all this time, they were so flustered because of this matter. Jiang Hao lectured them unhappily: "What does it mean to be so flustered!"
The two "upstarts" who were taught a lesson immediately lowered their heads. In their minds, the young teacher had a very high status. After being taught a lesson, the two were very scared.
Walking into the office, Jiang Hao continued the topic of real estate with the two students and asked, "Did you read it on the news online?"
"Yeah, it's all over the Internet! House prices across the country are also skyrocketing!" Cai Zhu said.
Compared with his "senior brother" Wang Tingzheng, who was born in mathematics but achieved certain success in the field of economics under the guidance of his teacher, Cai Zhu, who was born in a military family, did not have much pursuit of wealth after achieving "financial freedom". He sincerely hoped that his teacher would stop working on chips, let alone real estate, and focus on studying his "Jiang Hao Mathematics"!
"Jiang Hao Mathematics" is a great cause that will affect the entire human civilization. In comparison, what's the point of making money!
Wang Tingzheng has recently been working on chips with his teacher Jiang Hao. He can feel that his teacher has always been serious about chips. But now, people suddenly say on the Internet that the teacher's ultimate goal in making chips is real estate.
This surprised Wang Tingzheng: Is the teacher’s acting skills so good?
So Wang Tingzheng also hurriedly said: "Teacher, everyone is saying that you want to acquire land to build real estate, and that the Nobel Prize winner in economics is optimistic about Huaxia Real Estate."
"So overnight, everyone went crazy. The housing prices in the area where you just acquired the land went up like crazy. Housing prices across the country went up like crazy. The prices of the houses we own also went up, so we were so excited."
Jiang Hao did not speak in a hurry. He thought about it seriously: it would take a long time from the design to the construction of the lithography factory. Now that there is a "real estate" as a cover, on the one hand, it can alleviate the external sanctions on "Jiang Song Electronics"; on the other hand, it can also drive the development of domestic real estate.
Jiang Hao thought this seemed pretty good, so he didn't plan to explain it.
However, facing the two assistant students, Jiang Hao's work still depends on their cooperation. Jiang Hao told them the truth: "I will use that piece of land to build a photolithography factory."
"Photolithography factory?" After hearing the teacher's words, Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu asked back in confusion. They even found it a little hard to understand the four words "photolithography factory".
Facing the two students' questions, Jiang Hao nodded, then he took out a national-level project book from his bag, handed it to the two students, and introduced it:
"This is a new national-level project, which is about the construction of photolithography factories and the construction of disciplines in this field in China."
Jiang Hao continued to speak to the two students: "Look, the two of you, next, we will complete this project at Zhejiang University and all the relevant universities and research institutes across the country."
"While completing the construction of the lithography factory, we also need to establish a higher education and scientific research system for the chip semiconductor industry at Zhejiang University."
Then, Jiang Hao looked at his two students with great satisfaction, and said with a smile: "After this project is completed, you two can graduate, and I will give you both doctoral degrees directly."
Jiang Hao was very satisfied with these two students. Their excellence even made Jiang Hao look a little pale in comparison.
When Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu heard the words "You two can graduate now", they were stunned.
Unlike other graduate students who are always eager to graduate early and escape from the "clutches" of their supervisors, Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu have never thought about graduating. Moreover, they are only graduate students and have not yet started their doctoral studies. How can they graduate so soon?
This was a bit unexpected for the two of them. After looking at each other, Wang Tingzheng looked at the national-level project in his hand. He felt that this project might take several years, so there seemed no need to worry.
What kind of project is this? Wang Tingzheng asked in confusion: "Teacher, is this going to be a factory that produces photolithography machines?"
Jiang Hao shook his head and said, "It's not a factory that produces photolithography machines, but a photolithography factory."
"To put it simply, we will expand the lithography machine into a factory, reduce the technical difficulty and pursue new potential in the semiconductor industry. We should not follow other paths, such as the programming of drone flight control language. We will take our own chip path."
"In other words, what we are making is not a chip at all! We are making something new!"
"Oh my God!" Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu were shocked after hearing the teacher's explanation.
Those officials were not knowledgeable about the business, and out of trust in Jiang Hao, they successfully approved the application for approval of this national-level project. However, Wang Tingzheng and Cai Zhu, who followed their teacher Jiang Hao into the chip industry, knew fully how difficult this project was!
The chip has not been manufactured yet, but we need to manufacture a machine to manufacture the chip, and it is a new type of chip.
Jiang Hao didn't care about the shock of the two students. He continued, "If this project is successful, we will not only break the monopoly of foreign lithography machines and make our own chips, but also promote the development of the country's optical industry and precision instrument manufacturing industry!"
"More importantly, building our own lithography factory means we have the opportunity to take our own chip path."
Then, Jiang Hao glanced at his two students, and said with a smile:
"Unlike other graduate students who follow their supervisors to learn professional knowledge, you two learn everything from me - economics, mathematics, petrochemicals, and now you have entered the field of semiconductors."
"At first, I was wondering if this training model would be detrimental to your development, but the talents you two have shown fully prove that this model is feasible."
“Following me, what you will learn is not the professional knowledge of a specific subject, but a new way of thinking and a new academic ability.”
"Now, we have to use this new way of thinking and new academic capabilities to take a new path in computing."
Jiang Hao patted the two students on the shoulders and said with a smile: "Do a good job! Next we will either successfully create history, or be defined as 'evil pagans'."
