Lin Qiangsheng was wandering around the venue, but he was soon entangled by a person, who gave him quite a headache, because this person was here to ask him for money!

He was the president of Stanford University, John F. Kennedy. This Kennedy has nothing to do with the political family, "Mr. Lin, I sincerely invite you to visit Stanford University, which is a century-old university, you will see that Stanford University has worked hard for generations to create the world's best and greatest private institutions of higher learning, our university has cultivated thousands of outstanding talents for Silicon Valley, and many elites who have gone out from Stanford University have become important figures in high-tech fields such as computers, semiconductors, and the Internet!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng cautiously asked Kennedy, "Principal, are you here to raise money from me?" ”

Kennedy smiled and said without any embarrassment: "Ha, Mr. Lin, you are so clever that you guessed it!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng also smiled with him, and the president of a private university in the United States has a very important task to raise funds for the construction of the university. Social donations and alumni donations account for a significant proportion of private university funding, and fundraising is a very real need, because private universities do not have state funding, and it is also an important means for the board of directors to assess the ability of the president.

The previous president of Stanford University, Lehmann, actively raised funds for expansion during his tenure, and when Kennedy was in office, he was more active than Lehmann, raising a total of $1.1 billion in five years, and his contribution to Stanford University was considerable, making Stanford University once ranked second among universities in the United States during his tenure.

Kennedy said to Johnson Lin: "Mr. Lin, I will be honest with you about some substantive things, which may help you understand Stanford better!" When you donate to Stanford University, there are definitely benefits beyond imagination, and first, you will receive high honors. People will praise you for your generosity and praise for your help in education, you are currently in a good position in Silicon Valley, but your reputation does not match your status, which is a very sad thing! The second. Your donation will make Stanford University better, your money will support countless outstanding students to continue their studies, we will monitor the use of the donation, even if it is used for the construction of the campus, there will be a detailed record, and each transaction will be reported to you. There will be absolutely no fraud, and we are very transparent about how we use our funds! Thirdly, your donation, Stanford University will keep in mind, we have an excellent group of graduates, these people are extremely good, you will be recognized by Stanford alumni, so that you can develop in your career more connected! ”

Then, Kennedy approached Lin Johnson and said, "Moreover, there are practical benefits to your donation to us." I mean, in the future, if your children are doing very well in their studies, even if they are just passable, we can give them priority, so that your children can enjoy the educational resources of Stanford University, and the more you donate, the higher the ranking, the more priority Stanford will give to your children! ”

"Well, that's the most practical benefit!" Kennedy's words made Lin Johnson very moved, and it is indeed very important to obtain Stanford's connections, especially Lin Qiangsheng's extreme desire to make American high society identify with him, and Kennedy's last words were too straightforward. He was amazed.

Lin Qiangshang nodded movingly and said, "Okay, I'll donate!" ”

He sighed in his heart, and Principal Kentini had said it all. If he doesn't donate money again, it will really make people unable to get off the stage, and Stanford University will also exclude him from the circle.

Kennedy finally breathed a sigh of relief, he stretched out his warm and friendly hands and shook Lin Qiangsheng tightly, and laughed: "Mr. Lin, I knew that you must be a generous entrepreneur who is willing to help students and give generously. Stanford will remember you! ”

Lin Qiangsheng could only smile and nodded, reservedly agreeing with his statement, he thought about it, thought about it in his heart and said to Kennedy: "I can donate $50 million to Stanford, but I have a request, I also establish a college in China!" I want my college to establish a connection with Stanford University, and the best students can come to Stanford for master's and doctoral studies! ”

Kennedy said in surprise: "$50 million, Mr. Lin, you are really generous!" ”

Then he said with some embarrassment: "Of course, excellent students can come to Stanford to continue their studies, but I have to report this matter to the school board and establish a counterpart to the college you have built, and Stanford will consider it carefully!" ”

He said curiously to Lin Qiangsheng: "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to support education, and I also wish China better development in the field of higher education!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Kennedy, I still hope that Stanford can establish a channel with my college to make my hometown higher education better!" ”

Kennedy was a little more cautious, nodded sternly, and then he smiled: "Mr. Lin, you can call me Robert." Let me take you on a tour of the Stanford campus, so that you can get to know our excellent university, I am proud to be the president of Stanford, and you will definitely love it here! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Robert, it's okay if you call me Lin, let me call my companion first!" ”

Kennedy watched in surprise as Lin Johnson took out a small mobile phone, flip cover, this mobile phone is two-thirds the size of an adult's palm after opening, this mobile phone is much more delicate than the size of the big brother, it has a finger-wide black and white TN-LCD display screen, using the latest lithium battery technology, standby time up to 5 days!

But although this phone is small, it is still an analog phone. Moreover, the phone has not yet been launched in the United States, and is currently only popular among the executives of Eastern Star Semiconductor, testing performance and collecting opinions on the product.

"Your phone is so small, I don't know what new product it is?" Kennedy said with a warm eye and Lin Johnson.

Lin Qiangsheng shook his mobile phone and said mysteriously: "This is our latest product, but it is now in the testing stage, and it is estimated that it will take two months to go on the market!" ”

Kennedy shook his head, stared at the mobile phone that Lin Qiangsheng put away, and said, "Technology is really changing with each passing day!" Then he turned to look at Lin Qiangsheng and praised: "Dongxing Semiconductor Company is really an excellent company, you are an excellent entrepreneur who understands products!" ”

The two rode in a battery car and visited the main teaching buildings, research institutes and other units of Stanford University.

The campus has a very open view and a beautiful environment, it has a large green lawn, the campus is planted with a lot of tropical trees, the warm environment of Southern California can keep the trees green all year round, and the unique style makes this university more like a large green park.

Lin Qiangsheng noticed that there were no buildings on the campus, and most of the buildings were made of adobe-colored bricks, which was very unpretentious, although it looked like a single color, but it did give people a sense of brightness, which was very consistent with the academic atmosphere of the whole university.

During the visit, Kennedy said, "Mr. Lin, we will hold a small donation ceremony for your donation, and we will also introduce your kindness to friends in the media!" ”

Seeing that Lin Qiangsheng nodded, he continued: "Mr. Lin, I have a mention, taking the opportunity of the Internet conference, I solemnly invite you to speak to the organizing committee, as a high-tech enterprise, Dongxing Semiconductor is very good, and you also have excellent computer companies such as Compaq and Dell. You should have a unique view of integrated circuits, computers and the Internet, and I believe that many people in the organizing committee will have the same idea as me, and they would like to hear your voice! ”

Lin Qiangsheng asked with some surprise: "Do you think my opinion is important?" ”

Kennedy nodded, and said with some fuss: "Of course, you already have several successful companies in the industry, and you should also share your views on the future of computers and the Internet to the public!"

As far as I think, each of us has the freedom to express our opinions, but the opportunities are limited, and we can only let some representatives share their views, although there are very few such people, but we have a lot of discussion on the campus of Stanford. Alumni from all over the world are enthusiastically expressing their opinions! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "It seems that this event is really attractive!" Then he sighed and said to Kennedy, "But you know, I have some special background, and the U.S. government doesn't allow me to connect to the Internet, which is really bad!" ”

"Really? It's amazing! Kennedy was shocked that Dongxing Semiconductor had not yet gone online, which he couldn't believe and quickly said: "Lin, don't worry, I will definitely write a letter to the government to protest this matter, and I will also contact some alumni to put pressure on the Reagan administration!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Robert! ”

Professor Hu Qiheng also wanted to ask Lin Qiangsheng to help China apply to the U.S. government to access the Internet, but Lin Qiangsheng did not tell Professor Hu, his own company to enter the inter-depends on the face of the Americans, and it may be better for him not to participate in China's access to the Internet, but to participate in it is to drag his feet!
