Charles hung up William's phone and immediately set out to get in touch with the top 10 universities in the UK.

As an old prince who has been active in the UK for many years, Charles has a very strong network in China, and the heads of several top comprehensive universities in the UK have friends with him.

Interestingly, Britain is an old imperialist country after all, although the royal family no longer holds political power, but they still hold the right to honor, for the country's elite, the greatest honor is given by the royal family, so they have a very close relationship with the royal family, and they also give the royal family face.

Charles communicated one by one, and every word was the same, first greeting each other, and then asking if the other party was interested in cooperating with Makino Technology.

Under normal circumstances, when Charles talks about Makino Technology, the other party expresses a strong interest, not only because he wants to sell Charles a face, but also because Makino Technology is indeed too well-known in the world.

After confirming the interest of the other party, Charles will further explain the details of the cooperation:

The appeal of Makino Technology is to hope that these colleges can provide a certain number of exchange places to Huaxia every year, and these places should be as many as possible, and they should cover as many disciplines as possible;

In return, Makino Technology provides a certain number of direct employment positions for these schools, such as Cambridge, if Li Mu gives Cambridge 20 direct recruitment positions every year, then 20 people will definitely be recruited from Cambridge every year.

Charles's first contact was Alec Brohes, vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge.

Alec Brohes is a very legendary figure, he is an Australian who studied in Cambridge and studied electrical engineering before joining IBM, where he returned to Cambridge as Chief Scientist after almost two decades of service and became Principal of Cambridge in 1996.

Alec Browes's career in social enterprise has been almost entirely dedicated to IBM, which is itself a world-renowned provider of business computer hardware and solutions, so he understands the Internet very well and values it.

Although there are several old high-paying technology companies in the UK, these companies generally focus on chip-based hardware and do not know so much about the product-based Internet industry.

This has led to an awkward situation: there are few real Internet companies in the UK that can do their bidding.

Alec Brohes himself is very anxious about the development of the Internet in the UK, and he even feels that it is necessary for Cambridge to improve the strength and level of the entire country in the Internet for the UK, so he has been promoting the establishment of "silicon swamp" parks around Cambridge to attract multinational Internet companies and local Internet companies to settle in.

However, although Alec Browers has this heart, he does not have the ability to revitalize the entire market.

Not only is there little development of Internet companies in the UK, but Cambridge students do not seem to be very enthusiastic about the Internet, and their future employment plans are generally in Europe, and Europe itself is not a soil with Internet roots.

Almost half of Cambridge students will choose to stay in Europe after graduation, a small number will choose to return to their home countries, and only a small number will decide to go to North America for development, and because of Cambridge's consistent development, almost all students who go to North America go to Wall Street, and very few will choose to go to Silicon Valley.

The reason why they didn't choose Silicon Valley was not that they weren't interested in Silicon Valley, but that they felt that it was much more difficult for them to get into Silicon Valley than it was for Wall Street.

Don't look at these universities such as Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College are very popular, but in this year, because they are located in Europe and far from the center of the Internet industry, there are very few opportunities for students from these universities to really enter the core circle of the Internet, let alone top companies such as Makino Technology.

If Makino Technology doesn't give them a direct position, it is likely that a Cambridge one will not recruit them all year round.

The reason is not that Cambridge is bad, but that companies in Silicon Valley are more inclined to hire local employees, as well as experienced and hard-working Chinese and Indian employees, who are inherently repulsive to pampered European college students.

What's more, even if it is an American university like Stanford and MIT, which is close to the mecca of the Internet, it is not so easy for its students to enter Makino Technology, let alone those students in Europe who are far away from the Internet battlefield.

For these universities in the UK, they are also aware of the rapid development of the Internet industry, so they also hope to find a good opportunity to break into the core layer of the Internet and break into Silicon Valley.

At this stage, Silicon Valley is far less international than it was a decade later, and now more than 70% of Silicon Valley practitioners have graduated from American universities, and most of the rest are from China and India.

It's easy for students from European universities to get into Wall Street, but it's not so easy to get into Silicon Valley.

At this time, Europe was somewhat similar to Japan, they had a strong economic foundation, a strong industrial and academic foundation, but they did not have a strong Internet foundation.

Japan has not grasped the Internet industry, and Europe is the same, in another ten years, the top 20 Internet companies in the world in terms of market capitalization will be divided between American companies and Chinese enterprises, and Europe, Japan and other countries will have no chance.

The reason for this is that except for the United States and China, no other country has created a real Internet industry atmosphere.

These problems have long been seen and anxious by European institutions of higher learning.

For any world-renowned university, the most important thing is not academic achievements and academic construction, but the spread of graduates from all over the world and all walks of life, which Li Mu summed up as academic colonization.

In Li Mu's eyes, academic colonization is a kind of vertical penetration of civilization means, and it is not uncommon in modern society.

If several graduates of Tsinghua University enter Silicon Valley and get influential positions in influential jobs, then there will be more and more Tsinghua graduates in Silicon Valley in the future, and even eventually become a large-scale alumni association;

If SJTU School of Finance students can gain a foothold on Wall Street, then more SJTU graduates will take root on Wall Street in the future.

If you zoom in to a country, the scale and significance of academic colonization will be greater and more far-reaching.

Academic colonization, like the migration of races, as long as the pioneers can stand firm and achieve, the successors will follow suit.

Universities in Europe, especially in the UK, hope to make achievements in the field of high-tech IT, and if they send their students to Silicon Valley and the world's best Internet companies, it will become their dream thing.

Therefore, these schools are very interested in the cooperation that Charles said, and it is very cost-effective to exchange a certain amount of exchange student resources in exchange for an opportunity to go to Silicon Valley or go to the world's first Internet company for academic colonization.

Alec Brohes is also very eager for this kind of cooperation, and he hopes that Makino Technology can give these young people more opportunities to see the future, so that they can prepare for their future in advance, and it would be even more perfect if a group of people could be sent directly to Makino Technology to work.

As a result, Alec Brohes quickly agreed to Charles's request and was willing to offer more than 100 exchange places to make a mutually beneficial deal with Li Mu.

Charles quickly summed up the feedback of British universities on Li Mu's cooperation plan.

Every college in the top 10 universities in the UK is willing to cooperate with Li Mu, and the number of exchange places they can provide ranges from more than 100 to dozens of students.

Among them, the most generous is the University of Cambridge, which has given 150 exchange places in one go, covering almost all majors in undergraduate and graduate schools.

……

When Li Mu returned to Ziyun Villa, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhao Ziqiu is still playing with the dog in the yard, and in one day, she has established a good relationship foundation with this corgi, and this little guy has regarded her as the owner and has been circling around her.

Seeing Li Mu coming back, Zhao Ziqiu hurriedly said to Li Mu: "Lucky is so cute, and very smart, do you want to play with it for a while?"

Li Mu smiled: "What kind of pull, it's called a dog." ”

After that, he walked up to the dog, squatted down, touched his dog's head, and said with a smile: "How about the dog, isn't this a little worse than your hometown?"

Although the villas in Ziyun Villa are also very high-end villas, they are still much worse than Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle.

The dog had not had much contact with Li Mu, and he touched him twice, probably a little scared, so he instinctively took two steps back, looking at him with small eyes, and looked at him with a wary face.

Li Mu said with a smile: "Look at your cowardice, I can still eat you." ”

Zhao Ziqiu shook his head and smiled: "How can you get along with a dog like this, and scare it again." ”

Li Mu smiled: "It's okay, I'll just tease it first." ”

Zhao Ziqiu said: "You beware of it and ignore you in the future." ”

Li Mu said: "It's okay, we will get familiar with living together for a few more days." ”

Zhao Ziqiu asked him, "Have you ever had a dog before?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "Our family used to have a Jingba, and I don't know what's going on, in those years, Jingba was very popular, and the people who walked their dogs all over the street were walking Jingba." ”

Zhao Ziqiu asked: "How did your family raise Jingba in the past?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Take it out for a walk once or twice a day, and then it basically eats whatever people eat, and the rest is nothing." ”

Zhao Ziqiu said: "The breed of dog is expensive, you can't raise it like Jingba." ”

Li Mu smiled and said: "What is the gold? Isn't it said that Jingba was still raised by Lafayette in the palace back then? It is said that it is much more expensive than it." ”

Zhao Ziqiu smiled: "You will be blind and poor all day long." ”

After speaking, Zhao Ziqiu took Li Mu's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go eat first, I'll make you fried noodles." ”
