Chapter 2056 Funding
"Don't worry, Qin, this matter will not implicate you. As for the files concerning you, I will clear them all before the end of my term. Clinton assured.
This also reveals two meanings.
One, Qin Feng is completely different from worrying, Clinton will dispose of it. In addition, all files will be completely erased.
The second meaning, that is, until I leave office, your files will be there. Then, Qin Feng naturally didn't want to offend Clinton.
In other words, this kind of service will naturally continue until that time.
Qin Feng naturally understood Clinton's words.
Qin Feng didn't have any opinion on this.
In this way, it can be regarded as a good relationship between the two parties.
For Qin Feng, this is also very important.
"However, we always interact like this, and it doesn't seem to be good. Qin Feng thought for a while and said.
Clinton nodded.
Such direct contact will always arouse suspicion.
"So, I thought, let's have an academic forum. I will gather outstanding students from major universities to hold irregular forums every month, and then you will be responsible for chairing them. It also shows that you have an academic focus. Qin Feng said with a smile.
Clinton nodded.
That's appropriate, very appropriate.
In this way, he has a very good reason to come.
"However, this has to be a cutting-edge academic forum. Clinton said.
You can't rip off something outdated, which is boring debate tournaments. It must be a cutting-edge academic forum. Able to create new technologies.
"It's very simple, 5G!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"5G?" Clinton was stunned.
"Well, it's the next generation of wireless communication technology. Now that Qualcomm is working on 4G, we're talking about the next generation of 5G technology. Qin Feng said.
Clinton gave a thumbs up.
"Wonderful!" Clinton laughed.
Qin Feng grinned.
"If that's the case, I'd like to be able to do a national live broadcast. Qin Feng said, "And you came to attend as an observer." You are not required to speak. It's just an observant. Of course, I'll host a dinner later, and naturally, if you're late, you can leave. ”
Qin Feng smiled.
Clinton also laughed.
The two of them tacitly agreed.
After Clinton left, Qin Feng immediately found the president of Harvard.
See Qin Feng coming? The president of Harvard had a bad face.
This guy? As long as you come to yourself, then there must be something? And it must be difficult.
"Headmaster? What kind of eyes are you!" Qin Feng looked at the eyes of the Harvard principal and asked speechlessly.
"Say? How are you going to toss me this time!" the Harvard president was weak.
Qin Feng rolled his eyes.
"Headmaster, this time it's a good thing!" Qin Feng said.
"A good thing?" the Harvard principal glanced at Qin Feng.
You kid rushed like this? What good can be?
"I talked to the President of the United States, Mr. Clinton. He decided to host a summit IT academic forum!" Qin Feng said with a smile? "He wants us to unite the talents of the IT department of the university to jointly promote the development of the future Internet time!"
"President Clinton?" the Harvard president was stunned.
"Yes, it's President Clinton!" Qin Feng nodded, "He proposed that we form such a forum?" to explore the future of scientific and technological development. I think? Since President Clinton is interested, it is better for our school to take the lead. After all, as the world's No. 1 university, Harvard naturally has the responsibility to lead the future development of human science and technology!"
Qin Feng's face was obligatory.
Harvard's president pouted.
"What about the initiators of the forum, and the moderator of the conference, needless to say? That's you. Harvard President said.
Qin Feng smiled.
"Okay, can you go get it? Whatever you need, go straight to the right person when the time comes. If you need documents? Then ask me to approve it. The headmaster said, "But? This kind of thing? Is it good to do good deeds? If you mess up, you'll have to bear it yourself. If you want to be famous, then you must bear the consequences. ”
Qin Feng nodded.
"I know, Headmaster, don't worry. I'll take care of all the problems!" Qin Feng made a military order.
Subsequently, Qin Feng contacted 12 old professors of the IT Department to discuss the process of the relevant forum and relevant details.
For such an academic forum, these professors are naturally supportive.
There's no reason why they shouldn't. For them, that's a good thing.
In addition, we will discuss the next generation of wireless communication technology.
This is naturally a good thing.
Soon, with these old professors on the side, and the general IT students were called on to help.
Soon, Qin Feng drafted the relevant regulations and systems of the 'Ivy IT Development Summit'.
Then, the next day, I called the rest of the Ivy League schools directly and invited them to participate.
For such a summit, it was hosted by Harvard again, and there was also the endorsement of US President Clinton, so naturally all major universities supported it.
Of course, since Clinton has endorsed it, is it that the US government should contribute some money to support such a summit.
After all, a summit can only be held in one place. When students from other prestigious schools come, there will always be travel expenses and the like, who will reimburse this?
Naturally, as the organizer, Harvard should have applied.
If President Clinton doesn't approve it, then Harvard bears it.
Of course, if Harvard doesn't take on that. It will be organized by other schools, and naturally whoever organizes it will bear the relevant costs.
"Qin Feng, this is the result of the accounting that I asked the Finance Department to just make. The summit lasted for a week, and in this week, if we only hosted the Ivy League schools, counting us, there were eight in total. Each family should have a minimum of 10 attendees. The cost of accommodation, food, and round-trip airfare for the seven days averaged about $2,000 per person. Eight Ivy League schools with 80 students, that's $160,000. And you said it would be held regularly, at least once a month, and that year would be at least $1.92 million!" the Harvard president showed the results of the calculations that the treasury had just calculated.
$1.92 million! That's not a small number.
Who pays for this?
The United States is very rich. But the US government has no money. The annual expenses have been arranged for a long time. If you have this extra money now, you may not be able to apply for it.
Of course, Harvard can't afford this money.
It's just that if this continues, it's also a lot of money. If there is a result, it's okay to say, but what if it doesn't?
In particular, this is only an Ivy League school.
In addition to the Ivy League schools, there are also pan-Ivy League schools in the United States.
Pan Ivy refers to the top universities or liberal arts colleges in the United States in addition to the eight Ivy League schools. After all, there is no first, in addition to the Ivy League universities, what are the famous universities in the United States?
There are a total of 25 pan-Ivy schools, which are also commonly known as new Ivy schools.
These pan-Ivy League schools, which are also famous schools, have also cultivated many excellent students. What about them, you don't invite?
