Chapter 50
Student Entrepreneurship Incubation Plan
In the office, Xu Jie grinned.
Among the three competition categories he had selected for Wu Feng,
In fact, the one with the highest prestige was the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition.
The one with the lowest prestige was the National Youth Aerospace Innovation Competition that Wu Feng had chosen.
However, Xu Jie didn't mind.
Through choosing the competition for Wu Feng this time, knowing the path Wu Feng wanted to take in the future made Xu Jie happier than whether he could win an award.
As for the so-called high or low prestige?
That depended on the level and strength of the participating contestants.
The National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition's prestige was unquestionable.
Just from the four major organizing bodies of this competition, one could see the country's emphasis on it.
The Association for Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection jointly hosted it.
Furthermore, up to now, the competition had been held for thirty-six sessions.
Its influence was profound, ranking first among competitions in the field of natural sciences.
However, compared to the Five Major Academic Olympiads,
Winners in the science and technology competition could not be directly recruited into top universities.
They could only apply for special admission plans and participate in the independent enrollment of universities.
Naturally, the science and technology competition and the Five Major Olympiads were not quite the same.
The Five Major Olympiads leaned more toward academic theory.
While the science and technology competitions leaned more toward practical application.
Just like the National Youth Aerospace Innovation Competition Wu Feng had chosen, it was actually a relatively new competition category.
Compared to the Olympiads that had been held for over a decade, the popularity of this competition certainly couldn't compare to the Five Major Academic Olympiads.
But one shouldn't look down on this new competition.
In fact, behind it lay an extremely powerful and deep background.
The hosting unit of the National Youth Aerospace Innovation Competition was the Long Nation International Aerospace Science and Technology Exchange Center.
This exchange center was a subsidiary of the Long Nation Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
The very entity that owned famous brands like "Dongfeng", "Shenzhou", and "Changzheng"!
In Xu Jie's eyes, although this competition was not very famous and its prestige was not extremely high,
Behind it, the national will and the desire to cultivate talents for the aerospace industry remained extremely strong and clear.
Space was a domain that, in the past, present, and future, all major global powers would vie to exploit and compete in.
And many of the Dragon Nation's technical breakthroughs in this field had long since broken through Western blockades.
Some key technologies and sciences could even be said to have achieved a leapfrog development.
His student, Wu Feng, had actually chosen this category?
Xu Jie was truly extremely surprised.
He thought to himself, could this kid Wu Feng's monster-level mechanical talent be related to aerospace?
If so, that would be absolutely incredible!
"Can you tell me why you chose this competition category?"
Xu Jie asked with a smile.
Wu Feng scratched his large head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Teacher Xu, do you remember the gift you brought back for me from the Magic Capital last time?"
"That Millennium Falcon model, I've already assembled it. I will keep it very carefully."
"Since there's a competition related to aerospace, of course I chose it."
Hearing Wu Feng's words, Xu Jie was suddenly startled.
Last time he went to the Magic Capital with Li Hao, he had brought back gifts for all the students in the class upon his return.
The gift for Wu Feng, he naturally remembered clearly.
Xu Jie knew Wu Feng liked high-difficulty models, so he had bought him a Millennium Falcon model from Star Wars.
He had never in a million years expected that the reason Wu Feng chose the National Youth Aerospace Innovation Competition was actually because of this?
Just because he gave Wu Feng a spaceship that only appeared in science fiction movies, this kid wanted to pursue a related career?
Wasn't this a bit too casual?
Xu Jie frowned.
How could he know that in the hearts of the Class 9 students, he was like a towering lighthouse, guiding them in the right direction.
Wu Feng was a child with very open-minded thinking.
Regarding his future path, how could he be completely certain at the age of 17?
But in his heart, there had actually always been three directions.
First was his childhood dream of building the fastest sports car in the world.
Second was after Teacher Xu took over Class 9, he began to harbor the idea of becoming a teacher.
Third was the Millennium Falcon that Teacher Xu had given him, which sprouted the idea of pursuing a career related to aerospace.
Today, when Teacher Xu called him into the office to let him choose one of three competitions,
He consolidated his third idea.
In this world, how many people at the age of 17 knew what career they would pursue in the future?
Many outcomes were decided by seemingly insignificant little things in daily life.
Xu Jie would not have thought that a casual gesture of his could cause the Dragon Nation's space defense technology to far surpass the rest of the world in the future.
……
After deciding on the competition category for Wu Feng, Xu Jie called Chu Mo to the office.
"Chu Mo, come here. Look at these competition categories, which one do you want to participate in?"
Saying this, he explained the basic situation of several major competitions to Chu Mo.
Compared to Wu Feng, Chu Mo was a bit more steady.
He looked over the materials of the three competitions repeatedly, and finally, chose one of them.
"Artificial intelligence requires programming skills, and aerospace isn't something I'm interested in."
"Teacher Xu, I will participate in this National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition."
Xu Jie smiled and nodded. "Alright, go back first and think if you have any good ideas."
"Then we will study it together."
"In addition, you, Wu Feng, and Liu Qingyun should communicate and exchange ideas more. Many of these competitions are participated in as a team."
"If there are other classmates around who are interested in these competitions, you can also tell me."
Chu Mo nodded. "Yes, Teacher Xu."
After Chu Mo left, Xu Jie rubbed his chin in the office, his mind quickly spinning.
Class 9 was a humanities class, and the good seeds of the science stream were only those few.
Competitions like science and technology or aerospace were not suitable for the majority of the students.
But there was one competition name that sparked many ideas in Xu Jie's mind:
The International "Internet+" College Students' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition.
This competition was originally meant for college students who had relatively abundant time.
But in recent years, the organizing committee had also opened a track for high school students, called the High School Track of the International "Internet+" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition.
Xu Jie's idea was not to let the Class 9 students participate in this competition.
Rather, from the name of this competition, he had thought of another plan aimed at a broader group of students:
The Entrepreneurship Plan!
For those students in the class who didn't have artistic or athletic talents, and weren't interested in science and technology, could he start cultivating their entrepreneurial and innovative thinking from now on?
Once this idea appeared, it grew wildly in Xu Jie's mind.
In name, he possessed an Angel Investment Fund.
If he started cultivating entrepreneurial thinking in the students now, allowing them to understand the entire process of an enterprise from its inception to its listing, in addition to their studies,
Who was to say that some students wouldn't sprout the idea of starting a business from this?
Sitting in front of his desk, Xu Jie thought while gradually refining and shaping his idea.
