Chapter 720 of the text, the podium of Stanford University

Next chapter

The next day, before the meeting, Kennedy said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Mr. Lin, I have mentioned your request to the school board, but I am very sorry!" ”

He apologized to Lin Qiangsheng and said: "Stanford is very cautious about recruiting students, we need to inspect the institution you founded and give a proper assessment of whether it cooperates with Stanford!" ”

"Well, I won't embarrass you about this!" Lin Qiangsheng said, he guessed that Kennedy was also a disguised refusal.

But President Kennedy quickly said to Lin: "But we are still willing to help your school as much as possible, and we will send a four-person observation team to visit your school, and our two schools can also establish friendly relations in the future!" ”

Although the counterpart channel was rejected by Stanford, it is still a good idea to strengthen the ties between schools and establish friendship colleges. Lin Qiangsheng said with relief: "Thank you Robert, I welcome the observation team of Stanford University to visit and establish a friendship university, I fully agree with this!" ”

Kennedy breathed a sigh of relief, the last thing he wanted to see was that Lin Johnson was not satisfied with such an arrangement, and it would be terrible if the other party gave up the donation because of this!

Then the two discussed the specific details of the donation and the schedule of the exchange of personnel visits, which was tentatively scheduled for October.

This time, Lin Qiangsheng also brought his team of lawyers, donations in the United States can be tax-deductible, after professional accounting, Lin Qiangsheng can get a considerable amount of tax exemption, in the personal income tax and real estate tax have different deductions, so that after hedging, the actual expenditure will be less than the 50 million US dollars he donated.

After knowing that the rich in the United States can reasonably avoid taxes in this way, it also dawned on him that it is no wonder that the wealthy class in the United States is so generous and likes to donate money. Of course. This is not to say that poor Americans don't like to donate, in fact they are more willing to donate than the rich!

"Mr. Lin, are you ready to speak on stage?" After the conference began, Kennedy asked Lin.

Lin Qiangsheng sat in the front row today, and there were still thousands of spectators on the third day, most of whom were Stanford college students. Among them, other universities also came to join in the fun.

It has long become an open class for Silicon Valley heroes, and many IT celebrities such as Steve Jobs, Bill ▲↗▲↗, and Gates have given speeches on stage, and the success stories of these people strongly attract young people, college students who like to start a business and take active action, or are ready to take action and have some ideas, are the most active and fantastical group of people.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "No problem, I'm ready!" ”

Kennedy said, "The donation ceremony will take place before you speak!" After saying that, he waved to the host.

The host got the hint, and then he faced a thousand viewers. said humorously: "Let's insert a link, do you think this is an advertisement, but it's not!" ”

Haha, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and many people applauded.

"I would like to invite Mr. Kennedy, President of Stanford University, to the stage, and he will announce something important to everyone!" The moderator then spoke to everyone, and Kennedy stepped up to the podium.

There was an immediate round of applause, and some students even whistled at their principal.

President Kennedy confronted his students and said, "I think you guessed that, too. What I'm saying is certainly a good thing! First, I'm going to talk about one person. A legendary figure. He came to the United States when he was young, and I still don't know where he got the courage to dare to play in the capital market, and at his young age, he even achieved a rich record, winning money that many people can't earn in their lifetime! After that, he fled victoriously, taking with him a huge amount of money won from the US financial market. He also devoted himself to the rapidly developing field of semiconductors and personal computers, and what is even more unbelievable is that he has a vision that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, aiming at the burgeoning industry of personal computers, and thus achieving enviable achievements. Now this man is the same age as most of you, and he's sitting right in the middle of you! ”

The college students present had already applauded one after another, some of them were looking at each other, guessing the origin of this person, and some people who knew Lin Qiangsheng had already looked in the direction of his seat.

President Kennedy waved his arm and said, "And I want to announce that not long ago, this young entrepreneur generously donated a huge amount of 50 million to Stanford University, which will be better used for the construction of Stanford, and part of it will be used for scholarships for outstanding students!" ”

He said loudly to Lin Qiangsheng, "Let's welcome, Nson Lin!" Please give him a round of applause and welcome him! ”

The atmosphere of the scene was reached, and the students all stood up, cheering and applauding warmly, because Lin Qiangsheng's story is so legendary, whether it is his experience or the speed at which he makes money, as well as his companies, they are all so magical, much easier than Jobs Bill Gates and the like to make money, young people like such characters, and they fantasize that they can also get rich overnight, Lin Qiangsheng is their role model!

Walking on stage in the applause of thousands of people is also a different experience for Lin Qiangsheng, let alone facing this group of outstanding high-achieving students from Stanford University!

Lin Qiangsheng waved his hand and greeted everyone and said, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

He smiled at the students in the audience and said, "Your enthusiasm makes me feel like a Hollywood star, can I go to the Walk of Fame?" ”

"Coax!" The students laughed, but some people jokingly heckled him.

Lin Qiangsheng pointed at them and smiled: "I'll take your approval!" ”

Hahaha There was laughter again at the scene, and the students at Stanford felt that this guy of the same age was very interesting, although the person on the stage was a super-rich man, but his age and demeanor seemed to be the same young man as them, at this time, without race and skin color, Lin Qiangsheng had won the approval of most people.

The donation handover ceremony was very short, and after President Kennedy and Johnson Lin held up a symbolic check for $50 million, the atmosphere reached a high level. The students once again gave him enthusiastic applause and cheers.

In the past, Lin Qiangsheng didn't care about his reputation, status or anything in the United States, because the conservative mentality of the Chinese made him not want to appear in public more, and always thought that it would be better if his wealth was not exposed, so he acted in a very low-key manner. Of course, donations and so on are even more insignificant, almost none.

However, if you want to make money in the United States, you have to follow the local customs, and no one will like to always act like an iron rooster, and only by getting more people's recognition will he and his company be more marketable. It took a long time for Lin Qiangsheng to realize this, chasing reputation and status, as well as social recognition, is indeed what he needs to do, which can also be said to be a realistic protective color for him!

Then came Lin Qiangsheng's speech, and soon the students fell silent again, waiting for what this peer would say to them. Quite a few people had already started passing forward small notes with questions from the students.

However, Lin Qiangsheng didn't want to answer questions today, he looked around the audience and said, "I believe that the guys who spoke before have answered a lot of your questions. I'm sure they have told you something about the Internet of computers that will drive and even change the topic of our lives and work. They must have talked about how these technologies will make it easier for people to communicate and make our lives and work easier! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, raised his hand to the students at the scene, and said loudly: "What they said is good, it's just that they don't know me more profoundly!" ”

His words caused a commotion among the students at the scene. Move. Bill Gates, Jobs and other heroes in the IT and computer world, who were sitting in the front row, laughed one after another, and some even loudly refuted Lin Johnson's words and gave him a middle finger.

Lin Qiangsheng waved his hand and said contemptuously: "Don't you believe me, but I don't care!" ”

In the applause and laughter of the audience, Lin Qiangsheng still said very much: "I want to tell you, that is, the Internet will completely change our world." And it's going to create a virtual second world, which I call the 'Internet World'!

With the Internet, whether it is life or work, you will find that the ways and methods of the past will soon be obsolete, our existing rules will be subverted in a large part on the Internet, and some developments will become faster, faster and more complex due to the development of the Internet. The change is that at some point in the future, the Internet, the second world, will eventually become the most important factor in your life, without which you will not be able to move an inch, without which you will not be able to breathe. One day, you will find that the Internet has become an integral part of your life! ”

The thousands of Stanford students at the scene were shocked, they forgot to applaud, and they were all surprised by Lin Qiangsheng's words. And Bill Gates and others sitting in the front row also looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, to be honest, they didn't expect him to make such shocking remarks, in the Internet has just been created now, although the industry is generally optimistic about this technology, but what kind of development it has, all are confused, too advanced people may have, but there is no Lin Qiangsheng so advanced understanding, the times limit their imagination!

There was a burst of applause in the front row, and then the students also reacted and applauded, although they were frightened by Lin Qiangsheng's advanced remarks, but it was still deafening and exciting! (To be continued.) )
