Li Mu spent an afternoon taking William to visit the entire Makino Technology. Except for the core high-confidentiality business and teams, which he was not brought into contact with, he basically took him to see all the other teams and projects.
This prince of the British royal family is indeed very interested in the Internet industry. On many occasions, Li Mu can feel his absolute sincerity and seriousness, and even his thirst for knowledge about many details.
After a whole day of fatigue, Li Mu held a banquet at the hotel and had dinner with William before sending him back to the hotel where he was staying.
When the motorcade was about to arrive at the hotel, Li Mu said to William: "We are going to visit Renmin University the day after tomorrow. The school has now started. In addition to visiting 3321 and giving a short speech to the students, I personally have an idea. You discuss it."
William said hurriedly: "Mr. Li, please tell me."
Li Mu said: "I hope you can become a link between young people in China and Britain, especially college students, and enhance exchanges between the two countries at the college level. This will make young people in China have a good impression of you."
William nodded immediately and said, "Whatever needs to be done, just tell me directly and I will fully cooperate."
Li Mu said: "Since this is a private visit for you, our first premise is to avoid suspicion, so I hope you can chat with several top universities in the UK in your personal capacity and establish connections. Let’s see if they are willing to participate in this exchange of college students. If they are interested, then each university will give China a certain number of exchange students every year to promote exchanges between young people and allow college students from the two countries to contact each other. A little closer."
After saying that, Li Mu added: "Of course, the overall strength of Chinese universities is still worse than that of the UK, so you can help me communicate with these universities, as long as they can provide better exchanges and academic exchanges for China. With more resources, in the future, I will use Makino Technology to sign targeted recruitment agreements with these universities, promise them a certain number of jobs every year, and use these jobs to repay them. Moreover, these jobs will be all over the world. Not just Europe, but also North America and China.”
Although Li Mu did not go to a good university in his last life, he has great respect for education and recognizes the importance of education to the younger generation. Therefore, he hopes to send more domestic college students to developed countries in Europe and the United States to give them opportunities. Looking at the outside world, especially the more developed Western world, this is of great importance to the improvement of their own structure and future improvement.
Li Mu sends students out in the hope of improving their horizons and cultivating better talents with a blend of Eastern and Western education. He also hopes that these students who have the opportunity to study abroad can eventually return to China and contribute to domestic enterprises and economic development. contribute.
Therefore, Li Mu also wants to seize every opportunity he can to send more Chinese students out, just like he wants to send out Chinese football players.
Moreover, exchange students are different from international students. Exchange students fly kites, and they can pull them back after flying them out. But this is not the case for international students. International students fly satellites. From the moment they are ignited and launched, no one knows whether they will be able to fly in the future. return.
From this perspective, Li Mu hopes to promote exchange student cooperation rather than international student cooperation.
The reason for this mentality stems from Li Mu's long-standing regret for the brain drain.
In his previous life, Li Mu paid attention to a very small detail. Gao Xiaosong once mentioned a shocking thing in one of his talk shows. He said that the alumni association of Tsinghua University in California, USA, has tens of thousands of people. !
Tsinghua University alone has lost more than 10,000 top students to California over the years, and the number is estimated to be tens of thousands to the United States. How many top students has Tsinghua University trained in total over the years
Tsinghua University has lost so much, how much has Yenching University lost? How much have universities like Huaxia University of Science and Technology, Renmin University and Fudan lost
Moreover, there is an even more shocking data.
Gao Xiaosong said that 17 of their classmates in one class are in California. How many people are there in one class? In a normal university, a class of 4 or 50 people is already a lot. Even if there are 50 people, the proportion of talents in a class flowing to California, USA, will reach an astonishing 34%, and the proportion flowing to the United States should be 50%. Based on the above, then, the proportion flowing overseas should be at least about 70%.
From this little bit of data, we can see how terrible the loss of high-end talent is.
If we can use exchange students to send a large number of Chinese college students out for one year, two years at most, and then let them come back to continue their studies, and at the same time use a longer period of time on this basis to strengthen their guidance, this will The possibility of the first batch of students staying in the country in the future will be greatly increased.
Li Mu felt that we should not only send Chinese students out, but also find ways to bring back the students who have already left.
Because of this, Li Mu has been actively working on the return of overseas talents, aiming to allow more talents lost overseas to return to the embrace of domestic companies through Makino Technology, and even return to domestic development.
William on the side didn't know Li Mu's real motives. He just felt that Li Mu, a big boss, was very particular about what he did. When he did things for himself, he didn't ask for anything in return. When he asked him to do something for him, he would throw away the rewards in advance. When you come out, you won’t treat yourself badly at all.
Moved, William nodded again and again and said to Li Mu: "The employment opportunities of Makino Technology should be very attractive to these universities and their students, because once Makino Technology IPOs on NASDAQ, it will be very attractive. It may immediately become the company with the highest market value in the world, and it is also a high-tech enterprise, which will be very attractive to college students.”
William is right. Even Apple, which later became the world's most valuable company, has never given any university a recruitment quota. Students from Stanford, Harvard, and MIT are eager to get into Apple, but those who can really get in are It can be said to be rare.
Therefore, in the future, Makino Technology will be no less attractive to college students than Apple in later generations, or even far more than Apple. If any university has a fixed recruitment quota, this is indeed something that can be used to brag. matter.
Li Mu smiled and said to William at this time: "This fixed recruitment quota is a benefit that I return to them privately, in order for them to give you face on the surface and agree to long-term academic exchanges and student exchanges with Chinese universities. exchange."
William said: "Most colleges and universities are private, and our family has a very close relationship with the owners of these colleges and universities. You can rest assured about this."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said: "When you give a speech at the National People's Congress, you can announce this news personally. In this case, in the eyes of the Chinese people, this is your act of reciprocating a favor, which can greatly increase the number of young people in China." People’s good opinion of you.”
"Okay!" William said, "I will contact the country after returning to the hotel to confirm this matter as soon as possible."
The first thing William did after being escorted back to the hotel room by his entourage was to immediately call his father.
At this time, it was afternoon in the UK, and the news of William's visit to Makino Technology was spreading overwhelmingly in the UK. Both the media and the public gave high recognition to this young royal member.
William's image and personality have continued to be greatly enhanced. The Windsor family was overjoyed. The Queen was happy all day long. She had to read every report about William in person. The more she read, the more she opened her mouth with joy.
When William called, his father, Charles, was reading an American media report on William on the Internet. The media said that at a young age, William was interested in education and the development of domestic high-tech enterprises, and even went to China specifically for this purpose. Visiting Li Mu, the founder of Makino Technology, and seeking resources from Li Mu, this sense of responsibility is an example for the new generation of royal members in constitutional monarchy countries around the world.
Just when he was happy, William called. Charles hurriedly answered the call and asked, "William, how do you feel about being in China?"
William said: "Very good dad. Mr. Li takes good care of me. I just returned to the hotel after having dinner with him."
Charles smiled and said, "Li Mu is really doing his best to help you build momentum. You must listen to his instructions and cooperate with him."
William said: "That's why I called. Mr. Li just told me that he hopes I can take the initiative to strengthen the ties between college students from the two countries. This requires me to prepare exchange student resources for several British universities in advance."
"Exchange students?" Charles asked: "Li Mu means to have more exchange students between British universities and Chinese universities?"
"Yes." William explained: "Li Mu hopes that through me, we can bring about academic exchanges between young people from the two countries, so this requires exchange student resources from multiple universities. I need you to help me solve it."
Charles immediately said: "That's no problem. I will help you communicate with the top ten universities in England. Each university opens dozens of exchange students to China every year. This number should be enough, right?"
William said: “In short, the more the better, and Mr. Li’s intention is that he will also provide certain subsidies to these universities in other aspects, such as employment opportunities at Makino Technology. If these universities provide him with more exchanges, student resources, he will also give the university more jobs.”
Charles immediately smiled and said: "This will be easier to handle. I will contact you right away and let you know as soon as there is news."
William thanked: "Thank you for your hard work, Dad."
