Chapter 349: The Power of Capital (Part II)

Politics is full of mystery in many countries, and the determination of national leaders, the contest between political parties, the decisions of major policies, and the operation of government mechanisms are a mystery that can never be solved for ordinary people. However, in the United States, politics is like a game to watch, and ordinary people can use newspapers, television, the Internet and other media to watch politicians attack each other, mock each other, and accuse each other of wonderful performances.

Therefore, in this country, the president and legislators must say that they serve the country and serve their constituents, but they must also say that they must also say that they will serve the lotus. It doesn't matter if you can keep your promise in the fucking future, send yourself to Capitol Hill or the White House first. Voters know anyway that their votes are nothing more than sending baddies who don't look worse to Capitol Hill or the White House.

This is true in the general election, and it is also true in the workplace.

If you want to mix well in the United States, you have to learn from the Americans, never say that you can't do it, always act confident, whether you are fucking sure or not, do it first. When Li Jiaming could not get the definite fruits of victory from Professor Ross, he did not hesitate to call the school board and tell the old men and old ladies unmistakably that he was fully capable of taking on more important positions, and hoped that they would consider it.

After making the call to the palace, Li Jiaming called the principal again. On the phone, Mr. Lee talked to the headmistress with whom he had met several times, and talked about how Sloan should use its resources in the business field to promote cooperation between other colleges and major companies, and let his secretary hear the whole process clearly.

Three birds with two stones, and the last bird is to let the wind out, the richest man is confused, and he wants to mix in the academic circle. Those who are interested in recruiting this golden sign should quickly offer higher conditions than Sloan College and Stanford Graduate School of Business.

And then?

Then let the secretary arrange the plane, and Li Jiaming took several artificial intelligence backbone engineers from the Hanhua Research Institute to take the newly replaced business plane to inspect the flexible robot research project he had invested in.

There was no grand welcome ceremony, but several professors were enthusiastic. This project is still the thread that Lao Zhang pulled for his teacher, and he has studied it for nearly six years and invested nearly 50 million yuan one after another, which is a big case in the field of venture capital.

Even if the accompanying engineers and professors explained the technical details in detail, Li Jiaming, who has a doctorate in economics and is a professor, still does not understand it in detail. What he fully understood was that the project had made a breakthrough, but it was far from practical.

To continue the research, Li Jiaming asked Tony, who accompanied him, to make additional investment according to the procedure, and then went to see the artificial intelligence project cooperated by Hanhua. Li Jiaming still doesn't understand the details, but his strategy is to throw money, no matter what difficulties it is currently facing, as long as there are application prospects, he will invest and cooperate.

The olive branch of Li Jiaming, the richest man and Clark Medal winner and Stanford professor of economics, was extended, and it was on its own initiative, and SSN, the second-term president, also immediately seized it.

NNBR, the promise is simple, but to make this promise better, in addition to a large amount of social donations to keep it running, it is also necessary to ensure that scientists have sufficient funding for scientific research. To put it bluntly, money always comes first, and nothing can be done without money, while the richest man has money and is willing to invest in the research and development of new technologies.

The two chatted casually and had dinner together.

Sitting in the elegant cafeteria, Li Jiaming, who was cutting steaks, was also very frank that he was here for the position of Dean of Sloan Academy in a year, and he was willing to pay a lot of money.

"SSN, we are shifting our strategy to artificial intelligence while continuing to consolidate our strengths in the smartphone space. To that end, more than $24 billion of our dollars will be invested in this area. Leading the way in artificial intelligence, we look forward to working with you in full.

After confirming the comprehensive cooperation between the two parties, I would like to be offered the position of Dean of the Sloan Institute, firstly, to keep an eye on the progress of the project, and secondly, to promote the comprehensive cooperation with the Chinese Chinese Research Institute.

I have also founded and co-founded several large high-tech companies, and I still serve as the chairman of several large companies, and my management ability is beyond doubt. I think I am qualified for the position of Dean and will be one of the best candidates for you. ā€

With Li Jiaming's dazzling resume, if it was only a position of vice dean, the female principal could immediately agree on behalf of the school board, but what he wanted was the position of dean, which was undoubtedly very difficult for her. Ordinary professors only need to think about teaching and research, but as administrators, they have to consider various issues, such as qualifications and academic factions.

The qualifications are a little better, a black man in his forties can be president, and a Chinese in his thirties can be a dean, and this Chinese is indeed very good, both in terms of academic level and social prestige. The key is the academic faction, although SSN does not study economics, but also knows that several famous professors in his school have different views from Li Jiaming's mentor, Professor SPNR. The great thing about the university is that the masters, especially the two Nobel laureates, would agree to Professor SPNR's proud disciple to come to Sloan College as the dean?

As for fundraising and cooperation, it is not the old lady's main concern. As a leader in the field of artificial intelligence, GCA is ready to show its strength in this field, and the cooperation between the two sides will not be a problem. If this young man had been a self-willed man, he would not have been able to achieve such an achievement.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, she euphemistically said, "N, do you know why those professors would rather stay in school than work in big companies?" ā€

Li Jiaming was stunned and realized that he might be hitting a wall. Professors prefer to stay in school rather than work for big companies that offer them high salaries, also because it's more free to study what interests them. One of the most important jobs of university presidents is also fundraising, but this is not the main job, their main job is to make the school better. As long as the school has a good reputation and excels in various fields, it is not worried that it will not be able to collect the donations that the school needs, and to make the school better, it is inseparable from professors who like freedom over money.

Seeing that this wonderful young man was thoughtful, SSN also quietly ate the salad, she hoped that the young man would retreat from the difficulty, but she did not want to leave any bad impression on him.

What will the future of the young man who has created a new doctrine that is being justified by his own companies and Internet companies? If he can be relegated to the throne, it would be best to wait for Professor Franco Modigliani to retire before he becomes dean.

This is not impossible to consider, originally Li Jiaming's idea was only the vice president, but after coming to this point, he wanted to gamble again. He believed in the power of capital enough for the school board to choose him, not to represent the masters of the past. After eating the steak silently, Li Jiaming picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, and said firmly: "SSN, I still stick to my idea, I hope you recommend it to the school board." ā€

This is a request to repay the favor, Li Jiaming donated a sum of money at the beginning, but he did not ask for any return.

ā€œnā€

"I know what you're worried about, but that's not necessary. The professor is great, but his doctrine has no potential to move forward, and I am confident that the Board of Trustees will make a wise choice. ā€

SSN Vice-Chancellor smiled wryly that the university is a non-profit company, but there are more issues for the members of the board to consider.
