Chapter 70: Cold Reception

Although he was a little tired, Feng Yiping, who was in exceptionally good spirits, was invited to visit Clark, dean of Harvard Business School, after giving a speech at Harvard.

This is the second time they have met, in the capital in early September, because of the relationship between Harbin Commercial Publishing House acting as an agent for his book, the two people who met for the first time had a good conversation, and Feng Yiping also left a good impression on him.

And this time, Feng Yiping is paving the way for his exchange program next year, and it will always be beneficial to deepen his impression in front of the dean of the business school.

Although he has not yet decided whether he will apply for an exchange student at Harvard Business School or Stanford Graduate School of Business next year.

Geographically, Stanford, located in Silicon Valley, is obviously better, close to the company, and the climate in California is suitable, unlike Boston, which is dead cold in winter.

However, the small size of Stanford Graduate School of Business, with only a few hundred students a year, is much smaller than Harvard, and the increasing number of international students from Greater China at Harvard Business School is a great attraction for Feng Yiping, who wants to recruit talents while studying.

So, let's prepare for both!

Therefore, he did not express his willingness to do so, if he said it now, and finally chose Stanford, wouldn't it be for nothing to offend people?

Like those universities in China, these well-known universities in the United States also love and kill each other, and the relationship is not very harmonious.

But that's the thing, which pot doesn't open, but someone mentions which pot.

At the end of the visit, Clark smiled and said, "Feng, although we all think that your book is fully competent as a graduate thesis, but since you still want to study in school." Are you interested in the exchange program between our two colleges?"

Feng Yiping pretended to be flattered, "Thank you, I don't have such a plan at the moment, but I will definitely seriously consider your proposal,"

"Understood. We all know that you are not just a student at Tsinghua University, you have to manage a lot of company affairs while going to school, it is not good to be too far away," Clark smiled and opened the door for him, Hamilton was already waiting outside with a smile, "Help me entertain Feng." Clark said.

"I will," Hamilton said, looking at the Chinese lad who had brought him a lot of money.

Hamilton came to Feng Yiping, it was a good thing, and took him to the company to get the money.

There are three parts of this money, one is the remaining royalties from the first installment, and the second part. is the advance payment for the second instalment, the third part. It was the publishing house that sold the copyrights of several European countries, and Feng Yiping deserved the part.

"Feng, have you decided to invest in those areas, are you really interested in real estate in Boston?"

Feng Yiping got a seven-figure check this time, in a country like the United States that encourages consumption, if you only earn and don't spend. That's a very stupid act.

"I haven't made up my mind yet, but I've found an accountant in Silicon Valley,"

Unlike many domestic taxes that are one-size-fits-all, the U.S. tax code. It is complicated, and it is impossible for ordinary people to figure it out, and those who can figure it out can practice and start a company.

For example, for personal income tax, China is purely based on income, but the United States is different.

Specifically, if Feng Yiping and Hamilton both work in a publishing house and get the same salary, neither of their mothers-in-law works, but Feng Yiping has three babies, and Hamilton only has one cub, if they pay the same taxes, Feng Yiping may not do it, although the income is the same, but I have a heavy burden.

Therefore, there will be a bunch of people who will sit down, hold a few meetings on this issue, and then set a law to let people in a situation like Feng Yiping pay less.

However, when the children grew up and joined the workforce, it was Hamilton's turn to be unhappy, his family of three children made money, and my family only one, why did he pay less taxes than me?

Therefore, in response to this situation, another tax law ...... will be added.

In short, after a general understanding, Feng Yiping made a wise decision to let the professionals make a fortune and settle down by himself.

"Are you going back to the hotel?" asked Jacob.

After Feng Yiping looked at the car, he couldn't find Hamilton, and ordered, "Go next door,"

Hearing what he said, Jacob also glanced back, next door to Harvard, of course, is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is two families next to each other, and there are many grievances.

Since the last century, Harvard has sought to acquire MIT, but the latter has refused to give in.

Feng Yiping naturally had a purpose in coming to the university with the most Nobel Prize winners in the United States, and he had already made an appointment with Professor Jiang of the School of Engineering yesterday.

When Professor Jiang was 6 years old, he went to the United States with his parents from Taiwan, and in the mid-80s, he served as a professor of materials science, which should have been in these years - the specific time, Feng Yiping does not remember very clearly, he and two other people would create a lithium battery company.

Feng Yiping knew about this company, called A123 System Company, because before his rebirth, this company had just been acquired by the domestic Wanxiang Group.

Professor Jiang has very neat short hair and thick lenses, but from the first impression, he is not a person who only knows how to engage in scientific research, he looks very shrewd, and people who don't know his identity will think that he is a businessman.

"Feng Yiping, please take a seat," Professor Jiang leaned over slightly, beckoning Feng Yiping and Jacob to sit across from the desk, "I heard you mention, I bought a copy of your book last night, it's really good,"

He pulled out a copy of Feng Yiping's book from under a few folders on his desk.

"Thank you for the compliment," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"You are studying at Tsinghua University in the mainland, right, you are not a material major, what is the matter with me? I'm sorry, I'm very short of time, and there will be classes later, and now it's only ten minutes at most. ”

This is a very proud person, and it is estimated that he also looks down on Feng Yiping a little, who mainly relies on the pen and mouth to eat, which is also the characteristic of many technical talents, focusing on technology and ignoring the market.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Feng Yiping, who took the initiative to come to the door, had already expected such a cold reception, and was not annoyed at the moment, "Sorry for the abruptness, I don't mean anything else, I feel that the ecological environment is getting worse and worse, I am personally very interested in new energy technology, in humble words, this is a blue ocean, I heard many people say that the professor is a leading material expert, so I came to visit,"

What kind of words are possible to talk speculatively? The answer is simple, if the other party is interested.

Sure enough, after listening to Feng Yiping's words, Professor Jiang was very happy, "Yes, this field is indeed promising, and I am currently discussing with several like-minded people to prepare to set up a company next year,"

Oh, it turned out to be next year.

"Congratulations to Professor Jiang! You are short on time, so let me just say, personally, I also hope to contribute to such a cause, I already have a company in Silicon Valley, if I can have that honor, I will be happy to contribute to your project. ”

Feng Yiping's words were very tactful, but Professor Jiang immediately understood that he wanted to invest.

"Thank you for your kindness, the Federal Ministry of Energy is also very supportive of our project, so in terms of funding, it will not be a problem, in addition, our products will be used in many government and military fields, and the investment background review will be very cautious,"

Hearing what he said, Feng Yiping was really uncomfortable.

This tone is the same as that of some American institutions that wear tinted glasses to examine investments from China, or the FBI.

It is said that breaking the sky is just a lithium battery technology, mainly for civilian use, and when he said this, it was like a very top-secret high-tech.

Feng Yiping didn't speak for a while, Professor Jiang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I'm sorry, I'm going to go to class, thank you for coming,"

"It's me who bother," Feng Yiping now understood why the company he founded had collapsed, and it seemed that there was a real reason.

"Then I won't delay your time," Feng Yiping stood up, "By the way, can we exchange business cards?"

Although it was a less than ideal meeting, since he had come here, it was better to work hard, in case he couldn't find the funds next year?

Whether it is the Department of Energy of the United States or the Department of Energy of other countries, Feng Yiping believes that their money is not so easy to get.

When Jacob closed the office door, Feng Yiping saw Professor Jiang throw his business card casually on the table.

He suddenly looked forward to receiving a call from Professor Jiang next year, and if Professor Jiang called him at that time, it would definitely be because of financial problems, and at that time, it would be the time when the host and guest were different. (To be continued.) )
