For Harvard President Lawrence, what he misses most during this period is the Li Mu who once conquered Harvard.
Since Li Mu’s unprecedented sensational speech, Harvard and even college students across the United States have regarded Li Mu as their spiritual leader. That speech not only made Li Mu famous around the world, but also benefited Harvard a lot.
After that, Harvard became a partner of 3321 in the United States. Now, with the cooperation of the 3321 team and the Harvard team, the 3321 US station is about to be officially launched in the United States. This has allowed Harvard to gain a lot of public opinion in the United States. Lawrence received praise from the board of directors.
This time, when Lawrence knew that Li Mu had come to the United States, he almost immediately felt like he was on the receiving end of a shot of blood. All he could think about was how to invite the great master Li Mu to Harvard again.
Facing Lawrence's invitation, Li Mu was also very embarrassed.
He originally wanted to go to Cambridge, where Harvard is located, to meet Su Yingxue in a low-key manner, and if the time allowed, to meet Mark Zuckerberg again, but all this had to be done in a low-key manner, but now that his whereabouts are exposed, he is afraid that Even if I want to be low-key, I can't.
Li Mu originally did not want to expose the first half of his trip to the United States.
He originally wanted to come to the United States in a low-key manner first, then confirm with 3M and Honeywell about the protective supplies needed for SARS, and then take time to go to Cambridge to see Su Yingxue. After all these things were done, he could fly there Los Angeles, made a public appearance in Hollywood.
The reason why he wanted to make a public appearance in Hollywood was because Li Mu wanted to hold a press conference with Spielberg to announce to the world the "Flying Tigers" film and television project jointly produced by Makino Image and DreamWorks. This film is very important to Li Mu. It was so significant that he had to make a public appearance to build momentum for the film.
However, Li Mu did not expect that he would successfully negotiate a $200 million business in Silicon Valley, and since the scale of the cooperation with Coca-Cola was so large, the news could not be hidden.
Now, the whole world knows that Li Muren is in the United States and has just negotiated a huge contract with Coca-Cola. His next whereabouts will definitely be watched closely by the American media. From now on, it is impossible for him to go anywhere. If you can hide your whereabouts, the possibility of going to Cambridge quietly is almost zero.
Li Mu is very aware of the powerful digging capabilities of the American media. They will be able to find his entry record through customs, and then find the registration number of the business jet he rented. As long as he has the registration number, he will know where the plane he rented took off from. In the United States, all the records of which cities it has flown in can be clearly checked, and as long as the plane has a takeoff plan, the media will already know its itinerary plan the moment the plan is submitted to air traffic control.
By then, I'm afraid that before I even took off from San Francisco, a large number of reporters would already be pouring into the Boston Airport, waiting for me to land.
Covering others' eyes was already a fantasy. As long as Li Mu accepted Lawrence's invitation, he said to him: "President Lawrence, thank you for the invitation and thank you to the Harvard classmates for their enthusiasm. I think I should be able to take the time to go to Harvard."
"Really?" Lawrence was immediately overjoyed and blurted out: "Give me some time, I will greet you at the Boston Airport!"
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Don't go to such trouble. I may be tight on time this time. I mainly want to meet you and other leaders of Harvard to catch up on old times, and also to express my condolences to our 3321 team."
After saying that, Li Mu asked him again: "By the way, Lawrence, my alma mater and Harvard have a group of exchange students. By the way, you can also help me arrange a private meeting with them."
When Lawrence heard that Li Mu refused to give a speech, he felt a little disappointed and couldn't help but encourage: "The students are very vocal about you. Everyone hopes that you can give another speech to everyone. See if you can spare an hour or two." Time to tell everyone again?"
Li Mu refused almost without thinking: "There is no need to give a speech. After all, my experience and experience are just an example. Telling everyone too much may mislead others."
Lawrence was still unwilling to give up, and said tentatively: "How about you take a dozen or twenty minutes to tell everyone about the case of Makino Technology winning Coca-Cola's 200 million U.S. dollars in promotional expenses? Now the whole Harvard is here Discuss this matter.”
Li Mu said: "About this cooperation, official information will be released soon. It is not convenient for me to disclose too much details."
At this point, Li Mu's voice became serious and said: "Okay Lawrence, stop trying to encourage me. If you keep saying this, I will only go to Cambridge once to bring together the 3321 team and the exchange students from my alma mater. If you call me out for a meeting, I won’t even enter Harvard’s gate.”
When Lawrence heard this, he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to persuade Li Mu and said hurriedly: "Li, don't be angry. I won't mention the speech again. Everything will be as you want. Is that okay?"
Li Mu hummed and said bluntly: "OK, that's it, I'll be there tomorrow morning."
"So fast?! Okay, then I'll start preparing immediately!"
Lawrence did not expect that Li Mu would come as soon as he said so. In fact, for Li Mu, Harvard was the goal he had set before coming to the United States this time. Moreover, now that the matter of his own protective supplies has been resolved, only Harvard and Hollywood are left. .
What's more, the cooperation with Coca-Cola delayed his schedule for a few days, so Li Mu now had to speed up and go to Harvard, and then fly directly from Harvard to Los Angeles.
…
Harvard University’s International Student Dining Hall.
Su Yingxue was having lunch with a female classmate who was an exchange student with her from Renmin University. She had been in the United States for a while, and the two girls couldn't adapt to having American meals for three meals a day, so they basically had to go to the International Student Center every day. Come to the restaurant for dinner.
The International Student Restaurant is specially prepared by Harvard for overseas students. There are chefs from all over the world, serving different styles of meals from all over the world. When Chinese students first come to the United States, they usually rarely come here, but once they get tired of eating American food After the food, I basically dove in here and never went out, because here you can eat relatively authentic Chinese food, especially the fragrant steamed buns and rice as staple food.
Su Yingxue ordered a Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl and ate half of it. She happily took a sip of the seaweed and egg drop soup given by the Chinese chef and said to the girl sitting opposite: "The soup cooked by the chef is really delicious. The sea food is delicious." The rice tastes very fragrant and feels like home.”
The girl opposite asked: "Yingxue, you grew up by the sea, right?"
"Yes." Su Yingxue nodded.
"No wonder." The girl stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't like the fishy taste of sea rice. The spicy soup from our hometown is delicious, but it's a pity that this chef can't make it."
With that said, the girl said to Su Yingxue: "By the way, Yingxue, let's go shopping in Boston's Chinatown on the weekend and see if we can find a restaurant that makes spicy soup."
Su Yingxue smiled and said: "Okay, I haven't gone to Boston for a long time. I'll go and have a look on the weekend."
While the two were chatting, a young and fashionable Chinese girl sat next to Su Yingxue with a dinner plate and said with a smile: "Hey, Yingxue, Ruirui, when did you two come?"
Su Yingxue and the girl opposite looked up at each other. Seeing that they were acquaintances, they gave the fashionable girl a smile. Then, Su Yingxue said to her: "We have been here long ago and have almost finished our meal. Why are you so late today?" ?”
The fashionable girl sat down next to Su Yingxue, sighed softly, and said, "I went to apply for the job. I have been working on it since ten o'clock in the morning. I just finished the interview."
"Apply?!" Su Yingxue asked in surprise: "Xiaoxiao, you are only a sophomore this year and you are looking for a job now?"
The girl called Xiaoxiao is the goddess Zhen Xiaoxiao in the eyes of all Chinese students at Harvard. Before Su Yingxue came, she was the most beautiful Asian girl at Harvard in the eyes of Chinese students. However, after Su Yingxue came, those Chinese students will Su Yingxue also held the same position as her and regarded Su Yingxue as a goddess. However, this did not cause conflicts between the two girls. On the contrary, the two quickly became friends at Harvard.
Facing Su Yingxue's question, Zhen Xiaoxiao explained: "I'm not looking for a job, but I want to apply for a volunteer position at Harvard 3321. Isn't the 3321 American station about to be launched soon? The school wants to recruit 10 volunteers to participate in depth. I think this is particularly meaningful for the future operation of the platform, so I really want to join in.”
The girl sitting opposite Su Yingxue was named Chen Zirui. When she heard Zhen Xiaoxiao say that she wanted to become a volunteer for 3321, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Xiaoxiao, how was the result of your interview?"
Zhen Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I don't know what the result will be, but I don't feel too optimistic."
"No way?" Chen Zirui couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are recognized as an Asian goddess by Harvard. If you apply for volunteers, they should welcome you to join with both hands and feet, right?"
Zhen Xiaoxiao gave a bitter smile and said, "Ruirui, please stop teasing me. The person in charge of recruiting volunteers is James Keane, the president of the Student Union of Harvard Graduate School. Don't look at that guy who wears suits and ties all day long. He looks like He looks very gentlemanly, but he actually looks down on Asian students. This time he was in charge of the interview for volunteer recruitment. Almost all the Asian students who participated in the interview today were killed by him for various reasons."
Su Yingxue hurriedly asked: "What about you?"
Zhen Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders and said, "I am the only Asian student who passed the first round."
Chen Zirui hurriedly asked: "How many Asian students have participated in the interview?"
Zhen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "About three hundred people!"
Su Yingxue said in surprise: "So many people?"
Zhen Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Because Asian students all admire Li Mu, everyone is also very interested in the 3321 American Station and especially want to participate. And among these 300 people, there are at least 230 of them. They are Chinese students or Chinese students.”
Chen Zirui, who has a somewhat fiery personality, slapped the table and said angrily: "Damn, three hundred people participated in the interview, and only you were allowed to pass. That bastard named James is too much! This is obviously looking down upon. We Asians!”
