Chapter 2207 Interstellar Preparatory Course
Alvin sent T'Challa away who was in high spirits. He didn't know if T'Challa listened to his subtle reminder, but he asked himself that he had tried his best.
For Future Richard's sake, Alvin unleashed his greatest kindness on T'Challa.
But there are some things that Alvin really can't say clearly, because he also has interests in it.
What he said is too clear, and it will make the work of "Steel Digital" more difficult. What is he trying to do?
It's a bit bullying to bully a bunch of natives with imperfect financial systems, but let me remind you, try to create a fair environment. If you still lose, then you can't blame others.
In a previous life, Saudi Arabia only proposed to gradually buy back the oil field equity after the American father was full of oil. It took more than ten years to fully nationalize the oil field and become a wealthy country.
OPEC, which they led, even united with the US dollar to promote the Brettonson system linked to gold, achieving financial hegemony for the United States, and leading a prosperous life for itself.
This is what Alvin said is the role of a good politician...
In the interest of the people of the whole country, he bravely negotiated with the big boss to overturn the unequal treaties of the past.
If you succeed, you will gain endless praise and benefits; if you fail, you will not become another Venezuela.
Who can believe that that poor place was once a country with better welfare than Saudi Arabia?
This shows the importance and necessity of good politicians!
The situation in Wakanda is much better than that of Saudi Arabia. After all, its ally is not the world leader in the previous life, but a small Eastern European country with irreplaceable technology...
Although Doom is not a true friend, he has always maintained goodwill towards Hell's Kitchen.
Even if Raymond caused him a lot of trouble, he only regarded it as a political confrontation and never mentioned it in front of Alvin.
This guy makes a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and has a clear mind and great ambitions.
In Alvin's opinion, Doom is indeed an excellent partner, definitely better than Chara anyway.
Now that everyone has decided to cooperate, we must use all our chips and means. If we can earn hundreds of millions more every year by talking about it, why not take it seriously.
This may be the reason why there are no real friends in the business battlefield, because friends will not think about getting some benefits out of your home every day...
Alvin knows that T'Challa wants to take a reassurance from him. Now that you have taken the reassurance, you have also been given the reminder that should be given. The rest is your own problem.
Alvin himself will not intervene in cooperation negotiations anyway. He wants face, and in negotiations of this level, if you want face, you will easily suffer...
This is also the most brilliant thing about Doom. When T'Challa came to see Alvin, he didn't come to talk to him at all.
Because he knew that as long as T'Challa was persuaded, the three-party cooperation would be more than half completed, and the specific distribution of benefits was not something that should be discussed now.
Anyway, Alvin really decided something, and he couldn't resist. On the contrary, the more generous and decent he was, the easier it was for him to achieve a breakthrough in his private interactions with Alvin.
Smart politicians always leave room for themselves, and Doom is one of the best.
And if T'Challa hadn't been too weak in Sokovia, he would have been chewed up by Doom and swallowed into his stomach. In the end, the people of Wakanda might even have applauded Doom.
After T'Challa walked away, Stark and Osborn walked to the water bar together.
Stark, who smelled fishy, waved for two glasses of wine...
Watching the girl at the water bar carefully pull out a 15-yuan bottle of whiskey from the pile of bottles, Stark helplessly pointed to a bottle of single-malt Scottish Highland whiskey and said, "Bring me that bottle, now People's taste is simply terrible, why should they treat a 15-yuan bottle of junk as a treasure?
Even if there is no choice in Hell's Kitchen, why is it still like this here? "
Osborne smiled and signaled to the panicked bar girl not to panic. He asked the girl to give him the 15-yuan Red Dragon whiskey, and then asked her to pour the two of them drinks according to Stark's request.
When the golden wine filled the glass, Osborne raised the glass with a smile and said, "Here's to Stark's good taste!"
After drinking it in one gulp, Osborne said funnyly: "I have seen old William's whiskey on many occasions recently, and many rich people are honored to entertain their friends with this 15-yuan product.
I'm also tired of having to be dragged by the host to taste this whiskey every time I go to a drinking party.
I know they spent a lot of money to purchase it, and it was good stuff from old William, but those wines are different from the whiskey at the Peace Hotel. "
As he spoke, Osborne picked up the whiskey in his hand, pointed to a small blank space in the upper left corner of the trademark, smiled at the bar girl and said: "The real '15 whiskey' has a rougher taste because it contains added 'Take wine' as the base wine, and there's a crossed tomahawk mark here.
This is actually a high-end product priced at 400 yuan a bottle, and the taste is much softer. Don’t sell it cheaply in the future.
Real 15-dollar whiskey can only be drunk at the Peace Hotel, and you have to be a friend of someone there.
I will only tell you this secret. If you take out Red Dragon Whiskey generously in the future, you will receive a lot of tips. "
Seeing the girl at the water bar nodding excitedly, Alvin shook his head and said with a smile: "Why are you bastards so difficult to serve?
When you drink, you drink for the atmosphere...
Old William's craftsmanship is average, but he is a nice person. The 15 yuan whiskey I bought is really the pinnacle of his craftsmanship.
Have you ever seen bad wine that is marketed through slutty words, and many people say it’s good after drinking it? "
As Alvin looked at the single malt Highland whiskey that Stark drank, he suddenly smiled and said: "You bastard are jealous, right? You are jealous that someone prepared a whiskey specially for me, haha..."
Stark rarely refuted Alvin's words. He said a little disappointedly: "How many scientists have I funded? Why doesn't anyone name a certain patent after me?
The conscience of these scientists is not as reliable as that of an old gangster! "
Osborne looked at Stark curiously and said with a smile: "The minimum requirement for scientific research investment is to enjoy patents. Is there anything different about the Stark Group's approach?"
Alvin, who was a little bit aggrieved for Stark just now, immediately raised his middle finger at Stark and cursed: "A greedy capitalist like you deserves to go to hell!
After getting the patent, you still want the naming rights. Why don’t you take the wives of those scientists home too?
Oh, I heard that you do this kind of thing a lot..."
"It's all in the past. At that time, I felt that the whole universe belonged to me..."
Stark sighed slightly nostalgically and said: "It was great when I was young. I could let go of everything and run towards my goal. I couldn't care less about what other people think, and I couldn't care less about everything around me...
Now I have to sit here and watch you two bastards, and wait for those guys who are even more bastards to hold a meeting to discuss a result. "
Alvin smiled and said: "This may be the trouble of big people. Instead of pretending that you don't care at all, it is better to enjoy the feeling of being an 'important person'.
After they have roughly divided their interests, big business will come later. After all, we have too many patents and technologies in our hands. "
As he spoke, Alvin looked at the two wealthy men who were pretending to be reserved, and said with a bit of contempt: "Speaking of the fact that school is about to start, don't you have any expression?
When we were on the boat just now, old Cage was supposed to send a video. There was no good skin left on the outer wall of the school building.
Now the space in the teaching building is a bit insufficient. Do you two big bosses have any ideas about donating?
As a generous donor, your children, and your children’s children, will have priority in enrolling in school in the future. "
Stark said contemptuously: "Is that Nelson holding hundreds of millions in cash moldy? Why does that shabby school need so many teaching buildings?
Now that the situation on the earth has become different, you should also make some changes. "
Osborne nodded and said, "What Stark said makes sense. The school is now large enough, and Julie is still working hard to fill in the sea and want to build a real university in Hell's Kitchen.
You should persuade her to look further ahead.
The Dark Star has a better environment and can provide a more forward-looking view. It is a really good choice to build the university there.
Interstellar navigation, interstellar universities, and multi-human complexes are the future development trend and a step that humans cannot avoid. "
Alvin was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and said: "No, the original intention of Tomahawk School was just to send those children away. Julie's university is a place where she can resist the injustice she suffered.
Interstellar University? It's too early for this...
At least until Doom's engine becomes practical, it's too early to say this.
Going to school requires flying around the solar system for more than half a year. Who can bear this? "
Osborne raised his eyebrows furtively and looked at Alvin, and said: "The Harvard Board of Directors initiated the space travel program. They cooperated with the American government to develop a scientific research and teaching spacecraft.
In a year's time, this spacecraft will carry thousands of students into the universe.
Facing books and pictures can never be as shocking and impressive as seeing them with your own eyes. "
Alvin said in disbelief: "Are everyone at Harvard crazy?
Space navigation is a very dangerous thing, and they are risking the lives of thousands of students. "
Osborne said with a smile: "Don't look down on Harvard, the influence of this top university is much higher than you think.
Their reputation has plummeted because of their conflict with you, and now they have to find another way if they want to get back on their feet.
Interstellar University meets Harvard's needs very well, and they don't have to fly too far at all. Even if they only hover near the moon's orbit, it is still the top scientific research environment.
Those are thousands of top young people who are educated in a special environment. Who knows how many wonderful ideas will burst out?
Perhaps the inspiration in a young man's mind will change the destiny of a country.
Who could resist such a plan? Especially when Harvard spends a huge amount of money? "
Alvin was stunned after hearing this, and said: "Damn, I didn't think before that Harvard is so powerful?
When I get home, I will go to the Dark Star to plant a flag first and raise the flag of the university. I won’t say whether I will accept them or not. I will disgust those Harvard bastards first. "
Osborne looked at the appearance of Alvin, a small citizen, and said helplessly: "What I mean is to advise you to let the children in the school go to the Dark Star to study in the twelfth grade.
Based on this experience, it will be no problem for them to apply to any university. If Julie’s university is willing to follow up, we will be able to continuously obtain talents..."
Alvin thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "This won't work. Everyone is gone. What about the Hungry Wolves game?"
As he spoke, Alvin looked at Osborne's constipated expression and said with a smile: "I know what you mean, I was joking just now.
But know that Tomahawk School is too small and does not match the size you need.
How Julie handles college is her own business, and I can't just interfere.
Man, I'm destined to be in Hell's Kitchen, why don't you and Stark look a little bigger?
You and Stark can just find some talents from the company and build a university, right?
When the time comes, we will create an ‘Interstellar Preparatory Course’, invite outstanding students from all regions around the world to come for interviews, and then send a group of students to the ‘Dark Star’ every year. "
Osborn and Stark looked at each other, then took Alvin's hand and shook it hard, and said decisively: "Then it's a deal!"
