Chapter 627 Home Inn Hotel Management System V1.0
"That's right. They made the rules themselves, but they couldn't live up to their expectations and couldn't beat the others, so they used their power to make the rules to modify the rules, or even overturn the rules. What do you call this? Legally, it's called knowingly breaking the law."
Lu Yiming suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he said, "Okay, that's all. You can verify the data I mentioned first. You can check the changes in the proportion of Jews admitted to prestigious schools after the United States implemented quality education, and you will know whether it is true or not."
"OK."
Although these words were said by Lu Yiming, and Lu Yiming deliberately said them through her as a media person, so they must be true.
But Li Zixian is a very pragmatic person, and this kind of thing has shattered her perception of the United States.
After finishing her call with Lu Yiming, she looked up the contact information of Laura Bronte, a Jewish female classmate from her study abroad, from her phone book.
"Hello, Laura."
On the other end of the phone, Laura Bronte was working hard on taking notes under the desk lamp. Suddenly, she received a long-distance call from Li Zixian, and an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
"Hello, Li. Why are you calling me at this time?"
Li Zixian smiled and said, "Of course I want to chat with you. How are you doing recently? Are you still studying for a doctorate?"
Laura Blondie yawned and muttered, "Yeah, I haven't slept yet. I'm so sleepy, but I still haven't finished taking notes for a chapter."
"You work really hard. I just don't have the perseverance to get a PhD."
Li Zixian praised her, and then asked, "Let me ask you, in America, is there racial discrimination in the entrance exams for prestigious schools?"
Laura Blondie said in a surprised tone, "It's always been there, didn't you know?"
Li Zixian was surprised: "Really? How come I didn't know about it?"
Laura Blondie sighed and said, "You are here to study, not a local Chinese, so it's normal that you don't know."
Li Zixian was very curious and asked, "Why? Is there any difference?"
Laura Bronte said, "It's a long story. In the 19th century, industrialized America needed a lot of labor and attracted many foreign immigrants. Then, starting from the 1920s, the number of Jewish immigrants like me increased. At that time, although my grandparents were in the lower middle class in American society, they believed in the educational philosophy of 'Only education can bring success', just like your Chinese families. Therefore, we are different from traditional white families. Parents often attach great importance to their children's academic performance. You taught me the idea of 'Everything is inferior except education'."
It was not until then that Li Zixian realized that Jewish families who valued education, like many Chinese immigrants, liked to send their children to American schools in batches.
Laura Bronte said: "After World War II, the United States showed sympathy for the Jews and gave us lenient treatment in terms of admission and employment, which enabled a large number of Jews to stand out. However, as the next generation of Jewish immigrants performed well in school, they gradually threatened the elite education circle in the United States, and the exclusion and boycott of us once again made a comeback."
"In 1922, Harvard University President Albert Lawrence Lowell announced that he would limit the number of Jewish students, publicly doing what most Ivy League schools did privately. Since then, many prestigious schools have restricted the number of Jewish students in various ways. Until the 1950s, some famous American universities still set quotas for Jewish students."
"Now, in addition to us Jews, Asians have also become new targets of discrimination, especially students from your Chinese families. They are so good at taking exams that many white families simply cannot pass them. Therefore, prestigious American schools will discriminate against Asians when admitting undergraduates, using 'personality scores' to give Asians low scores, making it more difficult for you to get into college. It's different for some wealthy and well-connected white families. Even if they don't have good grades, they can still get into prestigious schools with letters of recommendation."
Li Zixian was stunned. Laura Blondie's words completely refreshed her three views. And the so-called quality education in America was actually to open a back door for the children of white elites more conveniently?
This is not quality education at all, this is simply "aristocratic despotism"!
Soon, Li Zixian sorted out the information she had obtained and participated in a talk show on a TV station.
On this day, Luo Rujun received dividends from her investment in the Future Fund. When she returned home at noon, she bought several swimming crabs, planning to make a sumptuous seafood dinner for her family at noon.
When they got home, Duan Hongxin was lying on the sofa watching "One Degree Above Zero", while Duan Letian was watching "Animation Paradise" on Baiyun TV. At this time, the "Animation Paradise" column had just ended, and Duan Letian heard the sound of the security door opening, and was immediately startled. He rushed over to turn off the TV, then threw down the remote control and lay on the coffee table pretending to do his homework.
However, he was too fat and his movements were slow. Before he could hurriedly open his textbook, Luo Rujun had already entered the room.
She immediately understood what was going on, and walked over with a stern face, scolding: "I knew you wouldn't do your homework properly when I'm not at home. Ah Xin, and you too."
Duan Hongxin said unhappily: "I have finished my homework."
Luo Rujun said: "Just sit down when reading. Lying down while reading is bad for your eyes."
She put down the basket and touched behind the TV. She found it was very hot. She immediately looked at Duan Letian and said coldly, "Are you watching TV secretly again?"
Duan Letian shrank his neck and said stubbornly, "No! The weather is hot, the TV will get hot on its own."
Luo Rujun turned on the TV directly and said with a shrewd expression: "Do you think you can fool me? We were watching the TV series channel last night, and now this is the comprehensive channel of Baiyun TV. You tell me you have never watched TV?"
Duan Letian was defeated immediately, and he hung his head and muttered, "Is it not fair that people are not allowed to watch cartoons on weekends..."
Luo Rujun grabbed Duan Letian's ear and said, "You still dare to quibble? Didn't I tell you to do your homework first? Humph, it seems that I have let you have it too easy. I have decided. I will sign you up right now and let you learn piano on the weekends. If you learn well, you will get extra points in the college entrance examination."
"ah?"
When Duan Hongxin and Duan Letian heard this, their faces suddenly fell.
Duan Hongxin looked at Duan Letian and complained, "Look, I told you to finish your homework before reading it. Now you won't be able to read it anymore."
Duan Letian retorted: "This is the TV station's fault. Who told them to play cartoons when I was doing my homework?"
Duan Hongxin: “6.”
Luo Rujun snorted and said, "Why? You don't want to learn piano? Then what do you want to learn?"
Duan Letian quickly said: "Yes, yes, I like entertainment and sports..."
Luo Rujun was furious and said, "What's the point of learning these? Can it add extra points to the college entrance examination or make a living? No! Quality education is advocated now, you can't lose at the starting line. How face-saving will it be if you tell others that you learn piano? That's it."
Duan Hongxin originally wanted to say that she didn't like learning the piano, but when she saw Duan Letian being criticized, she quickly shut up.
However, at this moment, Duan Hongxin suddenly said to Luo Rujun: "Mom, look, isn't this that someone? Cousin Yi Wen's girlfriend?"
"Don't interrupt... eh?"
Luo Rujun thought Duan Hongxin was deliberately changing the subject, but when he turned around, he found that it was really Li Zixian, who was talking on TV about the necessity and objectivity of implementing exam-oriented education in the current Xia country, as well as the truth about the so-called quality education at home and abroad.
Luo Rujun was attracted at once.
After watching the show, she said angrily, "This rubbish expert sounded very reasonable before, and I thought he was really capable. It turns out he is just fooling people."
Duan Letian then stood up with his hands on his hips and said, "See, my cousin said that quality-oriented education is not a good thing. Do you believe it now?"
Luo Junru was also a little embarrassed, after all, she really believed the expert's lies before. She touched Duan Letian's head and said, "I allow you to play basketball that weekend, but you must finish your homework before playing. You can only watch one cartoon."
"Yeah, Mom, I love you!"
Hearing that he could play basketball and watch cartoons at the same time, Duan Letian was so excited that all the fat on his body was shaking. He stood on tiptoes and gave Luo Rujun a big kiss on the face.
Seeing Luo Rujun give in, Duan Hongxin took the opportunity to say, "Mom, I don't want to learn piano either."
Luo Rujun smiled and said, "Okay, you all, make sure you are in the top ten of your grade. As long as you meet this requirement, I won't force you to learn anything, okay?"
Duan Hongxin's grades are pretty good now, and upon hearing this, she said, "It's a deal."
But Duan Letian was not happy - it was obvious that he was still some distance away from this result.
The other side.
Li Yiwen called Lu Yiming and couldn't help complaining, "My cousin, you are going too far. Not only are you ordering me around, you're also ordering my wife around."
Lu Yiming laughed and said, "We are all family, don't worry about these details."
Li Yiwen said helplessly: "Okay, how is the show going?"
Lu Yiming praised: "Sister-in-law is really good at speaking, the effect is much better than I expected."
After the show was broadcast, it basically dealt a heavy blow to those experts and scholars, and many people began to question the purpose of the quality education he advocated. Many parents were already exhausted by the internal competition of the "chicken baby" policy, and now they directly regarded Lu Yiming's remarks as the Bible and returned to the path of exam-oriented education.
Those students who were frightened by the quality-oriented education now find that studying hard and learning textbook knowledge is no longer so scary. They are willing to listen carefully in class and begin to love learning.
However, in the parent circle, there are still many people who firmly believe in what Zhen Li advocates.
"You are a returned expert after all, you can't say something that doesn't make sense, right?"
However, this was quickly refuted.
"Nowadays, there are indeed many big bosses who have not even graduated from primary school and have become millionaires, while those who have graduated from university can only work for them. This shows that grades really cannot tell everything."
In the teahouse, someone broke the news, "What's a millionaire? Did you know that among Lu Yiming's three roommates in college, two of them are worth hundreds of millions? This is the difference between studying and not studying. If you don't study, you will never become a millionaire. If you study hard, you can easily become worth hundreds of millions."
These words immediately caused exclamations from the people around.
"Fuck, you're worth hundreds of millions? Is that true? Don't lie to me."
The term "ten thousand yuan household" was only a thing a few years ago. Now when people call someone a millionaire, they look admiring. What does it mean to be worth hundreds of millions?
What’s more, they are college students!
The whistleblower was very proud in the face of everyone's shock, as if he was superior to others because he had mastered some secret.
"Who is trying to scare you? The news has already been released. There is a reporter who reported this incident. It is the roommate of Mr. Lu. His family background is very ordinary, but he started a fast food company selling boxed lunches with Mr. Lu. Now the annual turnover is 500 to 600 million."
"Earning 500 million or 600 million per year?"
"Why is it getting more and more mysterious?"
They didn't know that turnover was not equal to profit, but Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang were actually worth hundreds of millions, and they had joined the ranks of wealthy people at the age of just over 20. This was rare not only in Xia Country, but even in America. This was strong proof that people who could get high scores were indeed talented.
"From this we can see that studying hard is the right path."
"That's right. If these two people didn't study hard and failed to get into Fu Ri University, would they have met Mr. Lu? If they hadn't met Mr. Lu, how would they have had the chance to become billionaires?"
"That's right! This is about connections. The more prestigious the university, the more prestigious the connections."
If Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang had not been able to enter Fudan University through the college entrance examination, would they have been able to make connections like the richest man Lu?
By extension, famous universities are places where outstanding talents gather, and getting admitted means that your starting point in life is higher than that of ordinary people.
In the school study room, Lu Yiming was catching up on the lessons he had missed while out on business. Next to him, Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang were happily eating instant noodles.
Wang Dazhuang's mouth was full of instant noodles. He said incoherently, "Because of you, we have become celebrities. Several newspapers and TV stations want to interview us every day."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "How does it feel to be famous?"
Ni Cong said: "It was really fun at the beginning, but after getting tired of it, I felt very annoyed, especially when people were staring at me no matter what I did. That feeling was really terrible."
Lu Yiming said: "Just get used to it. You will probably have to live in the spotlight more often in the future."
Having successfully started a business before graduating from college, such "material" will become a hot news topic that media reporters will compete for in the future.
Then, Lu Yiming asked, "By the way, where's Lao Chen? It seems like I haven't seen him for a long time."
In the dormitory, Chen Chusheng is the most taciturn one. In the beginning, everyone pulled him together to start a business, and he only helped out when there was a shortage of manpower in the early stage. Later, when Zhenxiang Fast Food was on the right track, he immediately withdrew and concentrated on his studies, living a very pure life.
Ni Cong said: "It's still the same. I guess he's still in the library at this time."
Although Chen Chusheng has always been taciturn, everyone admires his abilities.
Even Lu Yiming highly values Chen Chusheng's technical strength and extraordinary talent in software.
Wang Dazhuang asked, "What do you want to talk to Lao Chen about?"
Lu Yiming said: "I really want to ask him for help."
Wang Dazhuang looked at his watch and said, "He should be in the dormitory at this time."
"Walk."
Lu Yiming returned to the dormitory he had been away from for a long time and found that Chen Chusheng was really in the dormitory.
"Old Chen."
Chen Chusheng turned his eyes away from the computer screen, saw Lu Yiming, smiled and said, "You're back."
Lu Yiming got straight to the point and said, "Old Chen, are you free recently? I'm working on a hotel management system software and I need an expert."
Chen Chusheng said without hesitation: "Okay."
He is always like this. Although he may not be able to utter a word all day long, as long as help is found to him, he basically will not refuse and will never negotiate any conditions.
When it comes to computer skills, Lu Yiming thinks he is not as good as Chen Chusheng. Seeing Chen Chusheng willing to help, Lu Yiming is very happy and said, "That's great. With your participation, the progress will definitely be greatly accelerated."
Lu Yiming has rich practical experience, while Chen Chusheng is a genius in the computer field. The exchange and collision of their wisdom is bound to produce brilliant sparks.
"Very good, then it's settled. Our school still has many computer experts, I'll recruit a few more."
In the following days, Lu Yiming began to recruit people in the school, and soon some experts from the Computer Department came to join him.
Who in the school doesn’t know the story of Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang?
There is a future in following Mr. Lu, the richest man!
It took more than a month to complete the software. With Lu Yiming there, the entire team only needed to solve technical problems instead of trial and error on specific functions, so the progress was amazing.
On this day, Lu Yiming ran the software on his computer and found it running smoothly. He immediately called Ji Qi and said, "Old Ji, I have written the management software. I will send you the installation package for you to take a look."
"good."
Currently, PMS has three major modules, namely, managing distribution channels, integrating vacancy information, and dynamic management system.
After running it once, Ji Qi was immediately surprised and said to Lu Yiming: "This function is very complete and very smooth."
Anyone who works in the Internet industry knows that, whether it is software or a website, the first version of the finished product has very simple requirements - that is, the program must be able to run.
As for functions, aesthetics and so on, they will be added gradually in the future.
However, the software made by Lu Yiming is not only fully functional and easy to operate, but also very beautiful. It is completely the ultimate finished product.
Ji Qi was full of confidence and said excitedly: "With the help of the hotel management system software, Home Inn can definitely establish an effective dynamic management model to ensure the adaptability of a standardized enterprise while respecting the market!"
