Chapter 1058

"3321 America?"

Li Mu didn't expect Lawrence to be interested in his 3321. He thought that the Americans didn't know 3321 at all.

in Li Mu's feeling, the most Americans know about themselves is YY and Paradise town. The rest can know Taobao and Alipay at best, but the complete charity project like 3321 is very little known to Americans.

Lawrence was surprised to see Li Mu's expression and said seriously, "I have studied your 3321. I think this business model is really innovative. Although it is still a real service transaction, it can be realized on the Internet. This model is very good, and this project is of great significance to American college students."

Li Mu asked curiously, "President Lawrence, do you think American college students need a part-time platform like 3321?"

"Yes!" Lawrence said seriously: "you may think that the American economy is very developed and education is also very developed. American college students will not have the same general economic difficulties as Chinese college students, but in fact, the American university education system is very commercial. Most of American universities are private universities, and the tuition fees are very expensive, which needs tens of thousands of dollars on average a year. But As far as I know, most of the universities in China are public universities, and the tuition fee for one year is not more than $1000, which is a big gap. "

Lawrence added: "most college students in the United States can't get full scholarships. The expensive tuition is an expensive expense for the students themselves and their families. A considerable number of College Students' families are unable to support the cost of college education, so that they can only complete their studies through bank loans, which is very important for the American college students Universal. "

Li Muruo nodded his head thoughtfully and said, "so, the proportion of American College Students in work study program should be very high?"

"That's right." Lawrence said: "most American college students work part-time. Some of them are lucky enough to get jobs arranged by the University, but more need to find suitable jobs in the society. Most of them work in restaurants, and many of them work part-time as tutors for middle school students. But this market is very chaotic, and there is a lack of a smooth gap between supply and demand Through channels, so I think the 3321 model is really suitable. If we take it to the American market, we will surely create a very high-quality part-time channel for American college students. "

"3321 is a huge online and offline project. Although I would like to make it blossom and bear fruit in the United States, I really can't afford such a huge project in terms of the current team size and workload of Muye technology in the United States," said Li Mu

"If Mr. principal really wants to try the 3321 model in the United States, I think we can try cooperation," said Li Mu

Lawrence hurriedly asked him, "how to cooperate?"

Li Mu said: "I will be responsible for the construction of 3321 U.S. station and provide a full set of technical support. Then I will personally invest two million dollars to start the operation, provide a small-scale operation team, and Harvard will provide most of the personnel needed for the operation and promotion. We will work together to start from the universities in Cambridge and Boston, and then expand slowly When I came to Massachusetts, I didn't get any money from this project, and Harvard dominated it all. "

When Lawrence heard this, he clapped his hands and took off his mouth: "great! Harvard is not to rely on this project for profit. We also hope that we can build a commercial charity fund like what you did in China. While helping students to earn part-time income, we can also provide funds for the fund to accumulate, and then use the money to help other students in need. Such a model is really healthy. "

"Let's set up a charity fund together," said Li Mu. "3321 U.S. stands and after deducting all operating costs, all the rest of the income will be put into the foundation."

Lawrence said excitedly, "this is the result I want most! I've thought about the name of the foundation. Li Mu and Harvard charity education foundation. What do you think? "

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a modest smile, "Chinese people believe in Confucianism and don't like to publicize it, so don't write their name in the name of the foundation..."

At this time, Xie huairu said, "Li Mu, as the saying goes, almost all companies in the United States are named after people. So is the foundation. Do you know the name of Bill Gates Foundation?"

Li Mu shook his head. "I don't know."

"It's called the bill and Melinda Gates Foundation," Xie said with a smile. "It's their name."

"It's not at home," Xie said seriously. "When it's high-profile, although high-profile, the higher the profile, the more in line with American mainstream values, otherwise if you are too low-key, it will cause adverse effects."

Li Mu thinks about it a little and thinks that what Xie huairu said is also reasonable. This is the United States, not in China. If you call the company "Li Mu Technology Development Co., Ltd." at home, you may be scolded to death. If you call the 3321 grant as "Li Mu grant", you may also be disgusted.Even in the impression of Li Mu, no entrepreneur in China dare to play so directly.

But for countries such as the United States and Japan, they are very used to naming their own enterprises and funds by their names. Americans will not think that there is any exaggeration, but that this is the most normal thing.

If the 3321 U.S. station is launched, it will be promoted and operated in the U.S. market. If the charity education fund is established with Harvard, it is also a fund registered in the U.S. and there is no doubt that the fund will gain a lot of support and recognition for itself in the U.S. market, which will greatly benefit itself and its enterprise's future development in the U.S Yi, if the name of the foundation has its own name, then the relationship is obvious. If not, it's much more difficult to do something about it.

After thinking about it, Li Mu made a decision, took up his glass and said to Lawrence, "Mr. principal, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Lawrence was very happy. He also picked up his glass and touched Li Mu: "happy cooperation!"

It's settled that we can jointly operate 3321 US station with Harvard. Li Mu promised Lawrence that he would immediately draw an operation team from 3321 to come to the United States after he returned home. At the same time, he would also draw a maintenance team from the field technology which is responsible for providing technical support for 3321. After the two teams arrive in the United States, they can immediately start the relevant work of 3321 US station.

Lawrence is naturally satisfied with Li Mu's efficient arrangement. At this speed, 3321 U.S. station can go online under the pressure of 2002 tail. If it's a little slower, it will go online at the beginning of 2003.

Li Mu is also very happy. Unexpectedly, he found a way to export to the United States for charity in addition to doing business in the United States.

The so-called charity output is not to donate to the Americans, but to bring the 3321 model to the United States, so that American college students can make their own money, and at the same time make their own donations to American education. Li Mu can gain a belief in the American market through this project, and achieve more with one stroke.

Lawrence paid special attention to this matter and arranged Xie huairu to connect with Li Mu on the spot.

After fulfilling Lawrence's wish, Li Mu began to feel selfish. He said to Lawrence, "Mr. President, I have a personal request, and I hope you can accept it."

Lawrence said in a hurry, "if you can help me, I will promise."

Li Mu said with a smile, "the cooperation between Renmin University, my alma mater, and the exchange students of your university is about to start. The comprehensive strength of the people's Congress is much worse than that of Harvard. I also hope that your university can take more care of these exchange students. I also hope that in the future, between the two schools, the exchange students can be carried out for a long time."

Lawrence immediately smiled and said, "you can rest assured of this! Harvard will certainly provide all the conveniences and supports for the exchange students of Renmin University. "

Lawrence pointed to Sheffield and said, "you can also connect with Andy in these matters. He put forward the exchange student plan, and he has been responsible for the specific operation."

Li Mu looked at Xie huairu in surprise and asked him, "President Xie, did you propose the exchange student plan with the NPC?"

Xie huairu's smile was a bit unnatural, but the expression was fleeting. After he adjusted it, he smiled and said to Li Mu, "Harvard is very interested in the school that can cultivate your talent, and would like to know more about other students of Renmin University."

Li Mudian nodded and said earnestly: "thank you for the headmaster and the rare opportunity you have provided to the students of the National People's Congress."

Xie huairu said with a smile, "we also hope to learn some experience and cultivate an outstanding youth like you in the future."

Li Mu smiled and pointed to Mark Zuckerberg beside him. "Mark talked to me on the way. He was also trying some ideas for entrepreneurship. I think Harvard could set up a fund in the future to support college students' entrepreneurship."

Xie huairu took a look at Mark Zuckerberg and said with a smile, "I will talk about this with the school in the future."

Mark Zuckerberg saw that Li Mu and Xie huairu were talking about themselves, but because they didn't understand Chinese, they didn't know what they were talking about. After holding back for a long time, he seized the opportunity and asked Li Mu in a low voice, "Mr. Li, you were discussing me with President Xie just now?"

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "I'm telling him that you're trying to set up some ideas for entrepreneurship. I hope Harvard can set up a fund to support students like you to start their own businesses and support you to realize your ideas. Maybe a project worth tens of billions of dollars can be hatched."
