When it was initially speculated that Li Mu might be influencing Harvard behind his back, Su Yingxue was particularly conflicted.

The reason for the contradiction is that she really can't determine why Li Mu did this, is it purely for her own good, or does she prefer to stay in the United States?

Su Yingxue is smart in her heart, and people who are too smart are usually too sensitive, plus the gap between her and Li Mu is too big to reach, which makes it easier for her to think more, she is afraid that Li Mu is trying to alienate herself because of the huge gap between the two, if this is the case, then Li Mu should do this in the hope that he will continue to stay at Harvard and continue to live away from him.

However, Su Yingxue did not dare to rule out that Li Mu was simply for his own good, because Li Mu knew that he had a high pursuit of his studies, and he had always regarded Harvard University as his biggest dream in the future, and now he has enough ability to help him realize this dream, after all, Harvard runs Li Mu's 3321 in the United States, and they almost respond to Li Mu's needs.

Just when Su Yingxue didn't know which judgment she should lean towards, Li Mu called her.

The frequency of Li Mu and Su Yingxue's calls is not high, almost once a week, and sometimes they will chat with text on YY, but they usually don't talk for too long.

Not only did he not communicate with Su Yingxue enough, from the beginning of the preparation of the Veterans Immortality Foundation, to the launch of the "Flying Tigers" movie, to the response to SARS, and the recent acquisition of Apple, Li Mu's private time has almost been encroached upon.

In addition, his parents have been in Yanjing recently, and Li Mu returns home from work every day, and almost all the time before going to bed is spent with them, so he has no personal space.

After receiving Li Mu's call, Su Yingxue thought that Li Mu was going to tell her about her studies, but she didn't expect that after Li Mu asked her about her current situation, she suddenly asked her: "Your exchange cycle is almost over, right?

Su Yingxue was slightly stunned on the other end of the phone, she didn't know if Li Mu was deliberately pretending to be confused, or if she didn't know about it at all, so she hesitated for a moment and replied: "The exchange cycle will end soon, and the return time arranged for us by Harvard is a week later." ”

Li Mu smiled and said: "It's just right, I'm going to fly to the United States in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and I can go to Harvard to see you before you return home." ”

Su Yingxue asked in surprise: "Are you going to come to the United States the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes. Li Mu said: "I'm going to go to Silicon Valley first, but it won't be too long, about two days in Silicon Valley, and then I'll fly to Boston." ”

Su Yingxue couldn't help but ask him, "You didn't come to Boston to see me, did you?"

Li Mu smiled: "Of course, the main thing is to see you, and by the way, look at Mark Zuckerberg, the Harvard kid." ”

Su Yingxue's heart suddenly swelled with warmth, and she said with a smile: "Mark started a Facebook, and it has been quite popular on the college campus recently, did you invest in it?"

Li Mu snorted and said, "It's very interesting to see this kid, so I invested a little angel money in him and let him go blindly." ”

After that, Li Mu said again: "By the way, when you come back, the National People's Congress is estimated to be on summer vacation, have you communicated with the National People's Congress about the process?

Su Yingxue said: "The National People's Congress sent us a team teacher, and the teacher meant that after we go back, we will first report to the school and go through a file program, and then we can have a summer vacation." ”

Li Mu asked again: "Then you don't need to take another exam, right?"

"No need. Su Yingxue said: "The credits for this semester will be calculated according to the full score. ”

Speaking of this, Su Yingxue muttered a little in her heart, Li Mu kept asking questions after she returned to school, it didn't look like she knew that she had a chance to stay at Harvard, could this matter be different from what she guessed? Maybe Li Mu was not the one who secretly helped him pry Harvard at all?

However, besides Li Mu, who else will there be? Even if some people have this ability, it can be confirmed that they will not have anything to do with such a person, why would the other party do such a thing for themselves?

Su Yingxue's mind is more mature than that of her peers, and she thinks about problems more objectively, she doesn't feel at all that her performance at Harvard in the past six months can really make her be treated like this by Harvard......

Li Mu on the phone didn't know Su Yingxue's doubts, he heard Su Yingxue say that there was nothing particularly important to go back to school to deal with, so he said to her: "Otherwise, don't go back to China with them, I'll go to Harvard to find you, and then pick you up to Los Angeles and New York, when the time comes, you go back to China with me, and I'll help you say hello to the National People's Congress." ”

Su Yingxue wanted to agree, since Li Mu left school to start a business, she almost never had the opportunity to get along with Li Mu for a long time, not to mention that she had been in the United States for half a year, although she had met Li Mu in the middle, she was also very hasty, and she had very little time alone.

But thinking that Li Mu must have a lot of business to do when he came to the United States, Su Yingxue hesitated a little, and she asked Li Mu: "Will I cause you trouble if I follow you?"

Li Mu said: "Of course not, and if you want, you can help me think about things at work, and now I feel more and more that my brain is not enough." ”

Su Yingxue knew that Li Mu was joking with herself, so she chuckled lightly and said, "As long as you don't think I'm stupid." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Then I will take you as a promise, wait for me at Harvard, and I will communicate with the school." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you at Harvard. ”

……

Hung up the phone, Su Yingxue began to think about Harvard's green light again, from her call with Li Mu, she could basically judge that Li Mu didn't know about this matter, so this matter also ruled out the possibility that Li Mu secretly helped, originally Su Yingxue thought that this person must be Li Mu, she just couldn't figure out Li Mu's motive for doing this, but now she feels that this matter could be anyone, but it can't be Li Mu.

It's so confusing.

However, this made Su Yingxue breathe a sigh of relief, at least this matter could not have been deliberately operated by Li Mu in order to alienate himself, this was enough, as for who it was, I am afraid that if the other party didn't want to let him know, he would not be able to know anyway.

Then there is another question: should I accept this offer?

Staying at Harvard, studying for books, going to graduate school, and realizing your biggest academic dream in one step is indeed very attractive.

Moreover, Su Yingxue knew very well in her heart that if she told her parents and relatives about this, they would definitely support 100%, and would even strongly oppose her rejection of this offer, but what about Li Mu? What kind of attitude would he have?

Su Yingxue was troubled by these problems, and after thinking about it, she thought of a relatively compromise solution, waiting for Li Mu to come to Harvard, tell him about it by herself, and listen to his opinion, if he made it clear that he didn't want to stay, then he would never hesitate and be nostalgic, and he would not tell his family about it, just as if it hadn't happened; if Li Mu supported him to stay, then whether he was for his own good or to alienate himself, he would choose to stay, if he was for his own good, he couldn't let him down; if he wanted to alienate himself, he couldn't let him feel unnecessary。

……

Li Mu was about to leave for the United States suddenly, which caught Li's father and mother a little off guard, but thinking of Li Mu's self-request not to leave Yanjing before the SARS risk was lifted because of SARS, and the details of the United States that he talked to them about many things at work recently, they could understand their son's urgency.

The son is going to the United States, the epidemic in Yanjing has also been lifted, and most of the areas in the country where the epidemic was found have announced the elimination of the SARS epidemic.

Li Mu didn't want his parents to drive back to Haizhou for a long time, so he asked the driver team of Muye Technology to send two drivers to help his parents drive the car back to Nansu first, wait at Jinling Airport, and charter a plane to send his parents back to Jinling first, and then fly to the United States.

Li's father and Li Ma didn't want to cause trouble to Li Mu, but they couldn't stand Li Mu's resolute attitude, so they could only agree.

Subsequently, the family of three began to make their own preparations.

Li Mu himself quietly made a list for the upcoming US ranks, this time to the United States, his tasks are: consolidate business, strengthen partner relations, strengthen government relations, acquire Apple, and lay out the future.

At present, the development of Makino Technology and Taobao in China is very smooth, and there are no competitors in the entire Chinese Internet industry that can threaten these two companies, so Li Mu has transferred most of his energy to the United States.

For Makino Technology, if you want to become the world's top Internet company, or even a hegemon-level Internet company, you must swallow the entire Western market and put it in your mouth to chew, bite, and swallow nothing left, and the entire West, strictly speaking, is the son of Uncle-Sam, and everything is based on him, so if you want to gnaw the West, you must first gnaw the United States.

The current foundation of Makino Technology in the United States is far from being solid enough, and what Li Mu has to do next is to make Makino Technology's roots in the United States deeper and deeper, so deep that no one can shake it in the future.

As for strengthening the relationship with partners, it is necessary not only to strengthen the relationship with Makino Technology's existing business partners in the United States, but also to strengthen the relationship with potential partners in the future, such as Google, Oracle, and Cisco.

In addition, Li Mu has greater intentions for the United States, he is eager to lock the huge cake of the mobile Internet in advance, it is not enough to swallow Apple, he also needs to hoard more convenient conditions for himself in advance, and do a good job in strategic layout, which has a very important link, that is, the future of mobile hardware, among them, the processor is the top priority.

Li Mu did not think of entering the computer processor market, not only because the threshold for this industry is too high, but also because it has long become one of the key areas of the national game, companies like Intel, like Lockheed Martin, no matter how much money the US government will not allow overseas companies to acquire or get core technologies.

Even Apple, a powerful technology company, could not achieve self-sufficiency in desktop-level processors, and even later simply switched the architecture of MacOS from PoerPC to Intel's X86, if it wasn't for Li Mu to kill him halfway, it wouldn't take two years for Apple's MacOS to fall into the arms of X86 and Intel.

However, in comparison, mobile processors are far less important today than desktop processors.

In the last life, although Apple did not have any commendable achievements in the desktop processor, but in the mobile processor is a bloody way, a few years later, Apple at a small price, acquired several companies that have a certain foundation in the ARM architecture, absorbed a large number of related talents, and then based on the ARM architecture, developed Apple's own A series of mobile processors, and has long occupied a leading position in the field of mobile processors, providing great support for the iPhone and iPad and iOS systems, if there is no A series processors, Apple's future will not be so smooth。

Therefore, Li Mu went to the United States this time, in addition to acquiring Apple, but also to help Apple lay a good foundation for mobile processors in advance, maybe in the future, Makino Technology itself because of the Wassenaar agreement, can not get advanced lithography machines, can not do its own mobile processor production, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is a mobile processor R & D team in hand, there will be a foundry company like TSMC at that time, and there is no need to worry about production at all.

Now taking advantage of the pace of acquiring Apple to make efforts in the field of mobile processors, it is definitely a golden opportunity!
