Chapter 251 Chip Architect (Subscription Request)
“Li, long time no see. You Chinese have a saying that goes, ‘I am very happy to have friends coming from afar…'”

“…Indeed, I am very happy too.”

Tom came to greet him alone, while Li Kang was accompanied by Chen Xu and Cao Fangmin.

In the early morning of Boston, the sunlight from the sky gently caresses the old red brick houses. Tall jade trees are lined on both sides of the streets. The Charles River flows quietly through the city, and the river surface occasionally reflects some golden light.

A few people walked in such a beautiful environment, watching a few swans gliding on the lake. On both sides are the historic Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Boston has a well-developed financial industry and street artists gather here.

Seeing such a place, Chen Xu whispered in Li Kang’s ear, “This place is so damn good, no wonder everyone wants to go abroad. Who doesn’t want to live in a place like this?”

“Okay. But you have to have money to stay here. A monthly salary of 20,000 yuan in China is just a drop in the bucket here. Besides, if you go to Philadelphia next door, you will know what free America is.”

Tom took them to visit Harvard University.

Li Kang quickly asked Chen Xu to take a photo of him, “I forgot to take a photo last time I came here, I have to make up for it this time.”

Stand under the statue of John Harvard.

At the same time, Li Kang also changed into the bachelor’s gown with a pink collar that he had prepared in advance.

The collars of liberal arts students are red, and they can get a monthly salary of 3,000 before they even graduate.

Even in the United States.

Tom was not surprised. Li Kang explained to him that he wanted to fulfill his dream of going to college.

Chen Xu was secretly shocked that it was actually possible to play like this.

Now he somewhat believed the report of Xinmin Evening News and believed in its authenticity.

What’s more, I admire him. This kid is capable and courageous. No wonder he can achieve such success in his career.

However, Li Kang always insisted that he was just taking photos, and then he even took them around the Harvard campus with great familiarity.

It can clearly tell you where the classrooms are and which places are worth visiting.

Could it be that our boss really has this ability?

With Tom’s introduction, Li Kang met James, the Dean of Harvard’s Academic Affairs Office.

After all, Tom donated several million dollars to Harvard when he came back this time. There is no reason not to give him face.

“This is a very young entrepreneur in Huaxia. His entrepreneurial direction is education and training, and he provides overseas study services. Within a few months, the number of students under him has exceeded a thousand.”

The director of the Academic Affairs Office is an old white man in his fifties.

When he saw the Asian faces of Li Kang and his group, he looked at them with some contempt.

But Tom was there, and he hid it well.

When talking to Li Kang, he was very enthusiastic and praised Li Kang for his achievements at a young age.

Some even praised him as the most talented young man in China since the reform and opening up.

Even the vice-principal was invited.

Chen Xu and Cao Fangmin were stunned and looked at each other, “Is the boss so grand?”

“Even the principal has to come to see him. You have to know that this is the principal of the world’s top university.”

In fact, it only took about ten minutes, during which time Li Kang was given a training certificate.

Proof that Li Kang went to school here and got a degree from Harvard.

After the principal left, Li Kang felt a pang of pain on his face, “Damn, one hundred thousand dollars is gone.”

That’s right, don’t think that this degree certificate is easy to get. It cost me one hundred thousand US dollars to buy it.

In the future, I will definitely send more talents to your country.

This is actually a win-win situation. Among a hundred overseas students, as long as one returns to China after completing his studies, it will be a win-win situation.

Many people have criticized international students, but the country’s development is indeed inseparable from the huge contributions of international students.

Without them, how can we acquire the world’s advanced knowledge and experience?

Li Kang’s study abroad training class aims to try its best to enable more international students to return home after studying abroad.

If he falls now, the new world will be over.

International students will continue to flock to the United States in large numbers as before, and only very few will return to their home countries.

We spent a day in Boston, and most of the expenses were paid by Tom.

In the Empire State Building, Tom invited Li Kang and others to dinner.

“Li, cheers!”

“cheers!”

“Li, your entrepreneurial project is very good. If I want to invest in your project, will you agree?”

Li Kang had been waiting for Tom to speak, there is no free lunch in the world.

Maybe Tom simply admired Li Kang at first, but when he saw that the people he had helped had become successful, he definitely wanted to share in the glory.

“Bro, it’s my honor if you want to invest in me. But I have to consider the government’s attitude, which is not something I can decide.”

“If the government supports it, how many shares are you willing to give?”

“Ten million US dollars, twenty percent of the shares.”

Chen Xu took a sip of wine and almost choked himself. He thought to himself, “You are really brave. I’m only paying 10 million US dollars to buy 20% of your shares.”

Their current revenue is only 30 million, and their net profit is less than 10 million.

He asked for ten million right away.

Sure enough, ten million is not a small sum for Tom.

Maybe he will have to use this money to buy some stocks.

But suddenly he agreed, “Ten million to buy only 20% of the shares is too little. I know your new world, the current market value may be only 60 million RMB. Ten million US dollars can buy your entire school.”

“But bro, you also have to consider the future of New World. Within a year, I am confident that I can double the market value of New World. We can go public within five years.”

The result may not be like this, but it does not prevent Li Kang from making big promises to the other party.

Tom was indeed tempted. According to the investigation of Pioneer Navigation behind him, Li Kang’s ability was astonishingly strong. Under his leadership, the current results were achieved in just a few months.

And this time, he was not the only one investing, but there was a consortium behind him that took a fancy to the project in Li Kang’s hands.

“Ten million dollars for thirty percent of the shares.”

Li Kang shook his head. “Bro, what I offer you is my bottom line. Because I trust you and thank you for your help, I have no reservations about you. Even if it’s more, the government may not agree.”

Tom thought about it and felt that what Li Kang said made sense. He raised his glass and said, “Then I wish us a happy cooperation.”

“Let me introduce you to a friend later.” Tom clapped his hands, and a bald white man appeared with a plump woman in his arms.

“Hello, long time no see, Li.”

“Thomas!” Li Kang didn’t expect to meet him here.

The woman he was hugging was a cleaning lady whom he met at Bird Corporation.

She is in her forties, but she is in good shape.

Under Thomas’s care, she was covered in jewels and looked like a noble lady.

She even outshined her colleague Cao Fangmin.

It turns out that a person’s appearance is all bought with money.

As long as you have money, even an ordinary cleaner can become a lady.

Cui Lian smiled at Li Kang, “Nice to see you again, young man.”

“Sister, did you go abroad with Thomas alone?”

“No, I brought my son and the whole family.” “It’s all thanks to Thomas’ help.” Cui Lian lay in Thomas’ arms like a happy little girl.

Thomas was obviously so in love with this plump oriental woman that he divorced his American girlfriend and sent her entire family over for Cui Lian.

I also bought her a car and a house and opened a Chinese restaurant here.

Currently, Cuilian’s entire family has obtained green cards.

Thomas came here to invest in Li Kang’s New World, and acquired 10% of the shares for 5 million US dollars.

This trip not only solved his domestic problems, but also brought him an investment of 15 million US dollars.

Cao Fangmin walked beside Li Kang and said, “Ms. Cui Lian is so lucky. She caught an American white man and immigrated to the United States?”

“Haha, what if I tell you that she was just a cleaner before? Isn’t it even more incredible?”

“Are you serious?”

“If you don’t believe me, ask Chen Xu. He also went to Bird Company at that time and should have met Cui Lian.”

Chen Xu nodded honestly. Even he felt it was magical.

“Are we going back tomorrow?”

The two were waiting for Li Kang to speak. This trip opened the eyes of two people who had never been to the United States.

At the same time, he was also surprised by Li Kang’s connections.

“Let’s go to New York tomorrow to do two things.”

Currently, the test questions used in Li Kang’s study abroad training are all pirated. He needs to obtain genuine authorization from ETS so that he can avoid lawsuits after he becomes formal.

Of course, there is no need to be afraid in the next two years, but it will become formalized sooner or later.

In order to keep up with the international standards, if piracy is rampant, we may be targeted and eliminated.

Even if you have a strong background, it is useless. At this time, Mr. Zhu does not care about any relationship and will beat you up if he says so.

So, taking advantage of the time when the country was fighting against him, Li Kang came out and got this matter done.

At first, the ETS executives said arrogantly: “You are just liars who use pirated products. We will never cooperate with people who use pirated products.”

Li Kangxin said, “Brother, if I don’t try the pirated version first, how can I know if your product is good or not?”

“I’m sorry, I had no choice but to use pirated products before. Now that I’ve made it, I want to support the official products. It was you who refused.”

No matter what Li Kang said, the old man looked like he couldn’t stand Li Kang.

There was even some regional discrimination, “You Asians are the rule breakers, don’t come here.”

Li Kang then took out the Harvard diploma he had bought. When the people around him saw it, they quickly grabbed the old man and said, “Stop talking nonsense. He graduated from Harvard. If you continue to curse him like that, he will sue you.”

When Mr. Bai saw Li Kang holding out his Harvard diploma, he also got scared and quickly apologized to Li Kang: “I didn’t expect Mr. Li to be a Harvard graduate. I’m so sorry.”

“Can we talk now?” Li Kang slammed the table with great momentum.

“Yes, we can definitely talk about it.”

After the final negotiation, the licensing fee for the real exam questions for one year was 15,000 US dollars. To be honest, this amount of money is really not much.

Just give out some old questions that the candidates have done for them to use.

After finishing the TOEFL or IELTS exams, you are not allowed to take the questions away. You can only rely on the teachers to take the test and then remember the questions.

For an exam, it usually takes several teachers to recreate a set of real questions.

Now that we have the genuine authorization, we can say with confidence that it is the genuine authorization.

As for Lao Yu who didn’t get the authorization? Who cares? I’ll give him a blow later.

He didn’t believe that anyone who stabbed him in the back didn’t involve Lao Yu.

If New World collapses, he will definitely be the one who benefits the most.

After obtaining the authorization, Li Kang took the two of them to California.

After getting off the plane, Li Kangrang was free to move around and he would reimburse the expenses.

“be careful.”

He came here just to see someone.

Teacher Qiuyue’s son is a Ph.D. from Stanford University and currently works for a technology company in Silicon Valley.

Li Kang also heard about it from Teacher Qiuyue before. Since he was here, he decided to visit this Stanford PhD.

Let’s meet them first. I also want to get involved in science and technology in the future. At least I want to get to know some talented people in the scientific community first.

On the phone, we agreed to meet at a cafe near the Silicon Valley Hotel.

When Li Kang came up, he also brought two pieces of clothes that Grandma Qiuyue had made for her son.

When he saw Ip Man, he was in a hurry and walked very fast.

Obviously, working in a tech company is very stressful on a daily basis.

But the income is very high. For example, a Stanford engineering PhD like Ip Man now has an annual salary of over $500,000.

It can be said that no company in the country can afford such a company.

“Are you Li Kang? Did my mother ask you to come?”

Ip Man seemed a little surprised. He heard that his mother had found a new job after retirement, and he didn’t expect that the boss was so young.

“I came here on the way. Grandma Qiuyue asked me to bring this to you, Uncle Ye.”

Ip Man is over 40 years old, so there is nothing wrong with calling him uncle.

Ye Wen took it calmly and looked through the contents.

These are the sweater and shoes hand-knitted by Grandma Qiuyue.

Seeing these old things, which were not fashionable at all, Ip Man actually liked them very much.

A smile appeared on his old-fashioned face.

“thank you.”

“It’s been a long time since I saw such familiar things. When I was in the countryside, I won’t tell you about it. You young people will definitely not understand and comprehend our experiences back then.”

Ye Wen took the initiative to interrupt what he wanted to say.

I learned from Ip Man that he now works for Intel as a chip architect.

“Uncle, how much do you earn in the United States per year?”

“Salary is only a part of my income. My annual income is one million, but the bulk of it comes from stock dividends. The Intel stock I hold is the most valuable.”

Hiss, one million is still a small income.

It’s just that semiconductor chip architects will indeed become hot commodities in the future.

“Uncle, are you interested in returning to China to develop your career?” If I could invite such a powerful person back and follow him, I wouldn’t have to struggle anymore. I could just sell New World and go all in on chips! !

You will definitely make some money in the end.

However, Ye Wen poured cold water on him, “The current domestic economy cannot support the development of the chip industry. If I go back, I will just rot in the ground like before.”

“Thank you for coming all the way here to bring me these things today.”

Ye Wen was ready to get up and leave, and the conversation had lasted less than ten minutes.

“Uncle Ye, aren’t you going to go back and see the old people? They have so much to take care of… It’s quite lonely.”

Ye Wen looked at him seriously, “I ask you to help me take care of my parents, just consider it as a favor I owe you. My mother told me on the phone that you are a good person, listen to my mother. As for my father, that stubborn old man, let him be.”

“My longing for my homeland has been carried to the Pacific Ocean by the ship I came from. Now I am an American citizen.”

Li Kang felt a little disappointed, but he also understood Ip Man. What he said was right. In 93, inviting such a big shot back really meant that nothing could be done.
