Diego maradona is Tang Jun's idol, but Tang Jun, who has always been the idol of young people in China, didn't expect that he would taste "sadness" like diego maradona this summer. /kloc-since July, 2000, the writer Fang has published articles in his Weibo, questioning Tang Jun, president and CEO of Xinhuadu Group, for "forging" thesis degrees and invention patents. Tang Jun then responded to this matter, saying that the party who fabricated the facts would be prosecuted in China and the United States. The two sides fought several rounds once and for all, and the facts were basically clear. Tang Jun's doctorate is indeed "watered down".
Is it a Ph.D. from Caltech or not?
Some netizens found that in the second chapter of the online electronic version of Tang Jun's autobiography "My Success Can Be Replicated", "I have almost given up my studies. But with the applied research results in speech recognition, I finally got my Ph.D. in computer science from California Institute of Technology. " This gave Fang the first bullet for counterfeiting. "Fake! California Institute of Technology must be a full-time doctoral student, and there is no possibility of obtaining a doctoral degree by grades, as Tang Jun said. And it wasn't until 200 1 that China people in the college got their doctor's degrees, and so far there is no one named Tang. The doctoral thesis written by Tang Jun cannot be retrieved in the doctoral thesis database of American universities. " Fang publicly questioned in Weibo.
In this regard, Tang Jun's response is, "I didn't tell anyone at any time and on any occasion that I was a doctor at California Institute of Technology. I have a doctorate in America. You see, on any resume, I have always said that I received my bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in China, Japan and the United States, but I didn't specify which university. " As for why there is this paragraph in My Success Can be Replicated, Tang Jun said that he didn't know why there was such a content in the electronic version. He stressed that there was definitely no such content in the paper version.
Interestingly, at noon on July 8th 12, the publisher of My Success Can be Replicated, CITIC Publishing House, issued an corrigendum statement, formally apologizing to Tang Jun, saying that the communication in the editing and proofreading process was lagging behind, which was originally deleted by Tang Jun and appeared in the first edition.
Is the graduation school a diploma workshop?
Although he was not prepared to respond at first, under the fierce attack of Fang, Tang Jun released a photo of himself studying for a doctorate in pacific western university, California. However, this practice of Fang did not stop it, but attracted further "counterfeiting" offensive from Fang. Fang pointed out that pacific western university was listed as one of the seven "diploma factories" in the United States by the US Audit Office (GAO) in May 2004. The school has two branches in California and Hawaii, and the Hawaii branch was closed by the government in 2006 because of repeated fraud. In 2004, the University of California changed its name to the University of California, miramar, but no longer offered doctoral degrees. It was also pointed out that "pacific western university California was revoked by the California government in 1994, and its license was renewed in 1996. Tang Jun's doctoral diploma was issued on April 1995, which he bought after he went to work in Microsoft. In other words, Tang Jun's diploma is not only a pheasant, but also illegal. "
From July 6, Tang Jun announced that he was "titled". Therefore, I did not personally respond to Fang's subsequent series of questions (as of July 8, press release). His last update in Weibo mentioned that "the law will make those who fabricate facts and pollute others pay the price now and in the future." According to media reports on July 8, Xin Li, secretary of Tang Jun, said that Tang Jun would not resign as the president of Xinhuadu Group and would sue the party for this incident. Fang responded that he would actively respond to the lawsuit and was not afraid of this threat.
Both patents were sold to others?
It is also questioned that the fact mentioned by Tang Jun in My Success can be copied, that is, he obtained the patents of "karaoke score" and "photo camera". He pointed out that all the introductions related to photo cameras show that the camera was invented by the Japanese. The patent winner of "karaoke scoring" is not Tang Jun either.
In this regard, Tang Jun said that he initially resold the principles, software and hardware realization of these two patents to a Korean company and a Japanese company respectively, and thus obtained a lot of money. Tang Jun said that it is temporarily impossible to disclose the relevant documents for resale to the media. "After all, it was seventeen years ago ... but no one knows these (patent) principles better than me, and its secrets are all in my mind."
Fang expressed the hope that Tang Jun would produce an agreement to buy and sell the "patent prototype" or a patent transfer agreement to clarify the doubts.
Reporter's notes
Don't put education = ability!
Tang Jun's diploma should be very clear by now, and everyone with a discerning eye knows what it is like. The reason why it attracted so much attention was that the aura of China's first professional manager hung over his head. If his education and experience are proved to be mixed with water, Tang Jun will walk from a high altar to the ground. As a public figure, people certainly have reason to hope that he can give a clear answer.
However, from another perspective, Tang Jun did serve as the president of Microsoft China, and Chen Tianqiao did pay a great price to become the president of Shanda. At present, the president and CEO of Xinhuadu Group is still Tang Jun. According to the definition of most people now, Tang Jun is undoubtedly successful, which has little to do with the authenticity of a paper diploma.
There is an old saying in China that "heroes come from Mo Wen". Although there is no diploma in the real society, it will be greatly affected in the job market, but Tang Jun's "success" has at least inspired the enterprise. A diploma can only prove that you have attended a school and graduated if you pass the study, and the practical ability is more important than the diploma and more helpful to the enterprise.
