068 MIT
Will was right, when Li Mu and Will came to MIT the next day, Li Mu finally enjoyed VIP treatment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The full name of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is "Massachusetts Institute of Technology", and the translation of "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" originated in the Qing Dynasty and has continued to do so ever since.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology was founded in 1861 by the famous natural scientist William Barton Rogers, who had hoped to create a free academy to cater to the rapid development of the United States, but due to the Civil War, it was not until 1865 that MIT welcomed its first students.
Although it started late, William has positioned MIT accurately, and since its inception, MIT has developed rapidly in the fields of nature and engineering, and in some disciplines, it has the potential to be inferior to Harvard.
The current president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is John Daniel Runkel, and when Li Mu expressed his intentions, Runkel personally received Li Mu in the president's office.
"You're Reem? It's nice to meet you, and I have to say, you're such a great guy, I wasn't as good as you when I was fifteen. As usual, Runkel also expressed his appreciation for Li Mu.
Li Mu's age is not fifteen years old, to be exact, Li Mu himself doesn't know how old he is, but Li Mu's figure is relatively tall compared to other *** boys, so he looks about the same as fourteen or five years old.
"You have overpraised Mr. Chancellor, and I may be a little better than you at the age of fifteen, but I am sure that you are not at your age to be in charge of a higher education institution that will be famous all over the world in the future, and those who have knowledge should be respected, so I salute you and wish you and your school prosperity." Anyone can say that they are obedient, and Li Mu also came as soon as he opened his mouth.
Obviously, Li Mu's words made Runkel very useful, and after the assistant brought the coffee, Li Mu and Runkel got to the point.
"Chemistry research - of course it is possible, if you pay for it, the results of the research can be given to you, but the credit belongs to the polytechnic." As expected, Runkel gave Li Mu the answer he wanted, without even asking what the research was about.
The ivory tower is actually full of fame and fortune, the Institute of Technology and Harvard University are on the banks of the Charles River, but the situation is a world of difference, Harvard University as a century-old famous school, the school's funds are tens of millions, the Institute of Technology has only been established for ten years, and even the school building is rented, so every honor is precious to the Institute of Technology.
"Great, once the research is done, I will set up a fund at the Polytechnic to reward those outstanding students, and I will also donate a fund to the Polytechnic for the construction of a special laboratory, I don't think you will refuse these offers." Li Mu knows the way to repay the peach, as long as he succeeds in developing a stable smokeless gunpowder, the financial resources will roll in, and donating a part of it is only a drop in the dime.
"Of course not, I look forward to our cooperation, and if I may, please allow me to introduce Mr. Franklin Lucius, the head of our chemistry department, to you." Runkel was indeed overjoyed, and subconsciously used honorifics for Li Mu, a little kid, and the power of money was really extraordinary.
Franklin Lucius was a balding middle-aged man, not tall, with a little sign of good health, and small, bright eyes that were very bookish.
Knowing Li Mu's intention, Franklin Lucius was also very happy, the biggest problem facing the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is the lack of funds, and Li Mu wants to find the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to cooperate in scientific research, which is the help in the snow.
Since both parties have intentions, Li Mu immediately asked Yan Hu to return to Springfield to take Henry over, and the contract for cooperative research is also to be signed, and the rights and obligations of both parties must be clarified in black and white, and a confidentiality agreement must be signed to fully ensure that Li Mu's interests are not harmed.
Henry was about to go to New York to apply for a patent for Li Mu's cross-hatch screws, and after seeing Li Mu's handwritten letter, Henry postponed his trip to New York and came to Boston with Yan Hu to sign a cooperation agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as Li Mu's legal counsel.
The agreement stipulates that Li Mu will transfer $10,000 of the initial start-up capital to the account designated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the next month, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is responsible for organizing a research team of no less than five people, and after the funds are in place, the first batch of funds will be used to purchase the machines and materials needed to study smokeless gunpowder and conduct preliminary research. Once the research begins, whether it is Li Mu or MIT, are not allowed to terminate the cooperation at will, Li Mu invested no less than 30,000 US dollars, MIT guarantees that the research team will not be less than five people, the research time per week is not less than six days, if the smokeless gunpowder research can be successful in a short period of time, then no matter how much research funds are left, Li Mu will donate all the remaining funds to the MIT, and will posthumously give a part of the cash for rewards.
The most important thing in the contract is confidentiality, MIT has the obligation to keep Li Mu confidential, regardless of whether the research is successful or not, MIT will not disclose the details of the contract to the outside world, and keep the research project confidential, the contract also stipulates that after the successful research of the project, all the research results are owned by Li Mu, and the relevant personnel involved in the research have the right to authorship, and the honor belongs to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It must be said that compared to the cumbersome and strict contracts of the 21st century, this contract can be called simple, but by the end of the 19th century, this contract was already complete, and this was the first time that MIT cooperated with the outside world to conduct scientific research, both the president John Daniel Runkel and the head of the chemistry department Franklin Lucius attached great importance to it, and Franklin Lucius even decided to personally lead the research team to lead the research of smokeless gunpowder.
Li Mu expressed his gratitude for the importance of MIT, and promised to transfer the initial start-up funds to MIT's account as soon as possible, and take the train back to Springfield with Will the next morning.
The news that Li Mu became a rich man has been hyped in the newspapers for several days, and the imaginary threat has not yet arrived, but the threat from the Qing Empire has arrived.
The little fat man suffered a big loss in Li Mu's hands this time, with the temperament of the little fat man, it is absolutely impossible to admit defeat, even if the little fat man admits defeat, it is estimated that the alcohol palace will not give up, so just yesterday, the old man Chen ordered someone to recruit Li Mu to meet, Li Mu naturally could not go to see the old man Chen in Boston, so the old man Chen simply sent two people to live in Will's house, ready to wait for Li Mu to come back, so he asked Li Mu to go to Springfield to meet.
Meet?
I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet.
