Chapter 1057 Three Thousand Three Hundred Twenty-One
Accompanied by Lawrence and other Harvard leaders, Li Mu visited the century-old Harvard campus, but Li Mu's assistant Li Ziwei was busy. . Fastest update
At this time, the news of Li Mu's anger at the Yahoo reporter has been fermenting on the Internet in the United States, which has won unprecedented support for Li Mu. The staff in Silicon Valley immediately fed back the public opinion on the Internet to Li Ziwei.
As Li Mu's personal assistant, Li Ziwei immediately recorded the feedback from the company's employees and reported to Li Mu at the right time.
But at the moment, Li Mu really has no spare time. Lawrence has been enthusiastically introducing every brick of the Harvard campus to him all the way. Media reporters follow him all the way, as are enthusiastic students. Moreover, every place he goes will attract a large number of people. The students were onlookers, so the battle at the scene has always been large, and it is still expanding.
After two hours of visiting, it was finally time for dinner, and Li Mu finally relaxed.
The Harvard school arranged to hold a dinner for Li Mu and his entourage in the school's banquet hall. Next to the banquet hall was the dining hall in Harvard that was very similar to the Hogwarts restaurant in "Harry Potter". Fortunately, the banquet hall was to entertain Li Mu. Because of the reason, it is temporarily closed to students and other faculty members, which finally gave Li Mu a relatively quiet space.
Before the dinner, more leaders from Harvard that Li Mu had never met, Lawrence personally introduced them to Li Mu, and said to Li Mu: "There is also a Chinese vice president at Harvard who is responsible for capital planning and project management. He originally I was on a business trip in Washington, and I heard that you were coming over, so I made a special trip back today, and it should be almost here by now.”
Li Mu did not expect that Harvard also has a Chinese vice president. A female Chinese official who has been accompanying him before is said to be a legal counsel of Harvard, but the position is not high.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged Chinese man in his forties stepped into the banquet hall. When Lawrence saw him, he hurriedly greeted him: "Hey, Andy, come here!"
The Chinese man called Andy smiled and nodded to Lawrence, strode to Lawrence, Lawrence hurriedly introduced to Li Mu who was beside him: "Li Mu, this is the Chinese vice president I said, his English His name is Andy, his Chinese name... I'm sorry, let Andy introduce him to you, I really can't pronounce his Chinese name."
The middle-aged Chinese man extended his hand to Li Mu enthusiastically, and said to Li Mu in extremely standard Mandarin: "Hello Li Mu, I have heard the name for a long time. My name is Xie Huairu, a Confucian Confucian."
Li Mu looked at Xie Huairu carefully. Although he was certain that it was the first time they met, he always had an indescribable familiarity, but he couldn't remember how familiar it was.
Xie Huairu was thin,
Although he is a little old, he still has a scholar-like appearance on his face. He smiles very friendly. At first glance, he is a person with a good demeanor. Li Mu shook hands with him and said politely, "Mr. Xie's. Mandarin is very standard, you must have lived in China before, right?"
Among the Chinese people under the age of 50 in the United States, many of them were born in the United States. Their parents crossed the ocean from China to the United States for various reasons during the war and turmoil, and they may never set foot on the land of China in their entire lives. Generally speaking, it is difficult for Chinese people who have not lived in China to speak such standard Mandarin.
Because most of these Chinese people have strong Cantonese and Fujian accents in their accents, which have a very close relationship with their parents. Among the Chinese who came to the United States decades ago, most of them They are all from the southeast coast. When they came, Huaxia didn't have the concept of Mandarin, so they came to the United States with their hometown accent, which naturally passed on to their children, and Xie Huairu's accent was completely The CCTV anchor's accent, Li Mu couldn't even tell which province accent was contained in his Mandarin.
Xie Huairu also knew that his standard Mandarin was indeed a little exposed, so he smiled and said to Li Mu, "I immigrated to the United States more than ten years ago, and I have lived in China for the first two decades."
Li Mu nodded lightly and said with a smile, "No wonder your Mandarin is so standard."
On the surface, Li Mu did not have any special performance, but he was very shocked. Xie Huairu, a Chinese who had just immigrated to the United States for more than ten years, was able to achieve the status of vice president at Harvard, and was responsible for capital planning and project management. Somewhat surprised.
Although Li Mu doesn't know much about Harvard's organizational structure, it can be inferred from the content of work that Xie Huairu is responsible for that the real power in his hands is probably second only to the executive vice president in the sequence of vice presidents. He has achieved such achievements in more than ten years. Really amazing.
Xie Huairu asked Li Mu with a smile, "How do you feel about your impression of Harvard?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Very good. After all, it is a world-class academic hall. A half-skilled student like me only worships and looks up."
Xie Huairu laughed and said, "It is true that Harvard is a world-class academic hall, but you are also the object of the envy of the world's major academic halls. Everyone hopes that a legendary student like you can appear on their campus, and wait until the end of the year to do the latest. In the global university rankings, the ranking of the National People's Congress can at least climb dozens or hundreds of places because of you. This is secondly, the key is that the popularity has been improved too much. Now Harvard is from school leaders to faculty members, and then to the students of various colleges, who does not know People's University?"
Li Mu was particularly surprised by Xie Huairu's words. He didn't expect that because of his own reasons, the world reputation of the NPC of his alma mater would be greatly improved. Li Mu suddenly thought of Su Yingxue's cooperation with the Harvard NPC exchange student he mentioned some time ago, and couldn't help asking him: "Harvard took the initiative to engage in exchange student cooperation with the National People's Congress, is it because of this?"
Xie Huairu nodded and said with a smile, "Most of the reason is because of you. At that time, Harvard didn't have any contact with you. The school wanted to see how different the students of Renmin University are through exchange student activities."
Li Mu finally figured out the matter of exchange students, but he didn't understand why a university ranked first in the world would take the initiative to seek out the National People's Congress for exchange student cooperation. Xie Huairu's explanation was much more reasonable.
As he was talking, the dinner was almost about to start. Principal Lawrence invited Li Mu and others to sit on both sides of a long table that was at least ten meters long. The reserved seat shows how much he and Harvard attach great importance to Li Mu.
Before Li Mu was seated, he was still looking around, but he explained to the Harvard staff and asked them to arrange Mark Zuckerberg to come to the dinner together, and he has not yet seen his shadow.
Just thinking about it, the previous Chinese female official walked in through the side door with a nervous Mark Zuckerberg. Li Mu immediately saw Mark Zuckerberg, who was specially put on a suit, and hurriedly waved to him with enthusiasm. "Hey, Mark, here, sit next to me."
Lawrence was quite happy to see that Li Mu was so devoted to an ordinary Harvard student like Mark Zuckerberg. He could also see that Li Mu had nothing in common with himself and other Harvard officials. It was a ceremonial contact, so I only had a few more chats with Xie Huairu, but that was probably also because Xie Huairu was of Chinese descent. Besides, Li Mu was most enthusiastic about this young Mark Zuckerberg. .
From Lawrence's point of view, Li Mu seems to have a good relationship with Mark Zuckerberg, and it seems that he already has a rhythm of personal friendship. In this way, if Harvard needs to have any interaction with Li Mu in the future, it has a way to directly contact Li Mu. 's bond.
In fact, Lawrence's background is quite unusual. Before taking charge of Harvard, he was the vice president of the World Bank and the secretary of the US Treasury. He is a very proficient in the economy. It is impossible for him to take it so seriously, only Li Mu.
It is also because he understands the economy too well that Lawrence admires Li Mu very much. He has studied many of Li Mu's business initiatives, and he is astonished by Li Mu, especially Li Mu's 3321. In his eyes, it is simply a new kind of genius. Business model, Lawrence at this time has not heard of the sharing economy, let alone the o2o model, but this does not prevent him from admiring 3321 at all.
Lawrence has always had an idea. He hopes to introduce 3321 to Harvard, and even to the entire US colleges and universities. This time the founder of 3321 is here, and he is going to put forward this idea at the dinner party. If Li Mu can directly create an American version of 3321, That would be even better. If Li Mu is unwilling, it doesn't matter, then try to get him to give him an authorization, and Harvard will be responsible for establishing a 3321 in the United States.
At this time, Li Mugang greeted Mark Zuckerberg to his side, and briefly introduced to the Harvard school leaders present. Mark Zuckerberg was nervous, and the core leadership of Harvard University is considered to be in this banquet hall today. Gathered together, I am an ordinary student, under this kind of battle, the pressure is really not ordinary.
Seeing Mark Zuckerberg's nervous expression, Li Mu said to him in a low voice, "Mark, be confident. You can't hold on to this battle. How will you reach the peak of your life in the future?"
Mark Zuckerberg glanced at Li Mu gratefully, and thought to himself with grievance: Today's battle is already the peak of my current life, and I am at the peak, how can I not be nervous.
However, because of Li Mu's comfort, Mark Zuckerberg's mentality eased a little. After sitting down beside Li Mu, Lawrence greeted the waiter to serve the dish.
The waiter brought all kinds of American food to the table. After saying an invitation, Lawrence announced the start of the dinner. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and even Mark 1 Zuckerberg gradually relaxed.
Lawrence took the initiative to clink glasses with Li Mu, and after drinking a sip of red wine, he expressed his thoughts to Li Mu: "Li Mu, I am particularly interested in your 3321, this is really the most thoughtful and meaningful I have seen in recent years. I have an idea, and I hope to invite you to open the 3321 US station in the United States, I wonder if you are interested?"
