"Fang, I have created an opportunity for you, and the rest is up to you!" Bill lightly bumped Fang Mingyuan's shoulder and said, "Andrew has a great influence at the University of Washington. If he If you are willing to work hard to promote it, I believe it will be a great help to the development of the university you founded."

The University of Washington is one of the best universities in the United States and even the world in the field of computer science. In terms of the percentage of people employed in the software industry to the total population, Seattle is ranked fifth in the United States. Seattle and Washington state have approximately There are between 5,000 and 6,000 companies related to the software industry and more than 2,000 computer companies, all of which are inseparable from the strong training of computer talents at the University of Washington.

Although the teaching staff of Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology can be regarded as very good among universities in Fengyuan, it has nearly 6,000 teachers, many of whom are world leaders in their academic fields, including seven Compared with the University of Washington, which has 237 Nobel Prize winners, 237 American academicians, and 174 members of the American Scientific Committee, it pales into insignificance and is not even in the same weight class!

In the afternoon, Fang Mingyuan and Bill talked about wanting to use the faculty of Microsoft and American universities to help teachers at Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology further their studies. If possible, they also hope to recruit some American teachers to teach at Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology. . To Fang Mingyuan’s request, Bill naturally agreed wholeheartedly, so DeAndre Bryant was present at the dinner.

"Thank you!" Fang Mingyuan said sincerely.

"If you are willing to donate a fund to the University of Washington, I think the conversation with Andrew will go more smoothly." Bill pondered for a moment and said, "Andrew has been lobbying me to help the University of Washington build a medical laboratory in the past year. , why not... Hey! Andrew!" Bill yelled, reaching out to Bryant.

"Jeffrey, I'm sorry. I have to go over there for a moment!" Andrew bowed slightly and said to Skilling.

"It doesn't matter, I'll just take a walk here. There's still a lot to see in the mansion of the world's richest man!" Sijilin said with a smile.

Bryant came to Bill and Fang Mingyuan's table and sat down. Bill asked the waiter to bring three more cocktails, and then said: "Andrew, how are you doing with the fundraising for the medical laboratory at the University of Washington?" Already?"

Bryant's little heart immediately started beating happily. He came to Bill's mansion this time. On the one hand, it was a gathering of friends. On the other hand, he wanted to continue chatting with Bill about the medical laboratory to be built at the University of Washington School of Medicine. , want to get some donations from Bill. The foundation named after Bill and his wife holds billions of dollars in funds. As long as they let go, this medical laboratory, which has been raising funds for a year, will Then you can enter the actual construction stage.

But he didn't expect that Bill would take the initiative to mention the matter without mentioning it himself. This made him excited. Could it be that today is a good day for God to favor him?

"There is still a gap of about US$50 million to US$60 million. The specific amount depends on when construction starts. Recently, the prices of some materials have fluctuated greatly!" Bryant answered honestly.

Bill pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Andrew, we have been friends for many years. To be honest, I believe in your personal morality, but this matter involves Fang, so I want you to swear on the honor of the Bryant family.

This part of my conversation with you today was without Fang’s permission. You can’t tell anyone, including your wife and children!”

"Ah?" Bryant opened his mouth in surprise. Bill rarely looked like this. What on earth did this Fang come from?

"No problem! I thought..." Bryant was also a weather-beaten person. After being surprised, he immediately realized that Bill's mention of this matter must have something to do with the fundraising for the University of Washington Medical Laboratory. Although the University of Washington says that every year

With a funding of up to 5 billion US dollars, of which 1.6 to 1.7 billion US dollars are invested in scientific research projects, the University of Washington has long maintained the top three in financial expenditure and research funding in the world university rankings, always higher than Harvard University.

MIT and the University of Cambridge. However, if you want to build an off-budget medical laboratory, it is not possible to build it. Therefore, they need to raise funds from their school directors.

"Fang is not only the most famous screenwriter in Hollywood, he is also an important shareholder of Microsoft. His shareholding in Microsoft is second only to Paul and I, and Steven's shareholding is far inferior to him!" Bill said softly,

"He is also a hidden director on the board of directors, but he has never publicly participated in our board of directors. However, the board of directors will listen to Fang's opinions when making decisions on major matters."

Bryant's mouth was grinning to the back of his head, and his eyes were so wide that they almost jumped out of their sockets. Fang Mingyuan was actually the third largest shareholder of Microsoft. This news was indeed very shocking! You know, Shi

Tiwen’s personal property is currently worth more than 10 billion US dollars. Fang Mingyuan’s shareholding is second only to Bill and Paul. Doesn’t that mean that Fang Mingyuan’s personal property is also worth tens of billions of dollars! A 24-year-old tens of billions

Rich man! Even though Bill was a monster back then, he didn’t have that much wealth when he was in his twenties!

After a while, Bryant woke up from the shock, and the look he looked at Fang Mingyuan was naturally very different.

"I'm sorry, I never like media attention, so..." Fang Mingyuan shrugged.

Bryant stroked his forehead and said, "Fang, I understand!" Fang Mingyuan doesn't like a high-profile life. No matter what the reason is, this is indeed a reality. Moreover, it can only be said that this is the first time that the two of them met, so they also talk about it.

It's not anything deliberately concealed.

"The reason why I talked to you about this matter is because Fang hopes to find a partner for the university he established in China, and I recommended the University of Washington to him. Fang, not long ago,

We have just donated a huge sum of money to the foundation, and Andrew, the new medical laboratory you are going to build at the University of Washington also meets the funding conditions of our foundation, so we can have further contact in the coming days, as long as you

If you can convince Melinda again, I think you don't have to worry about the current funding gap!" Bill said sternly.

"Really? God, this is the best news I heard today!" Bryant exclaimed excitedly, clutching his chest. Although Bill asked them to convince Melinda again, Bryant

Understand that this is more of a legal procedure. After all, the current manager of the foundation is Bill's wife Melinda. Bill and Fang Mingyuan can make certain decisions, but without Melinda's consent and signature

Chapter, this procedure is still incomplete.

And Bill's meaning is very clear. If everything goes well for both parties, then the University of Washington will receive a donation of up to 60 million US dollars from the foundation!

Sixty million U.S. dollars, even in the United States, is an extremely staggering amount. The foundation and the University of Washington will certainly become the targets of the media, and Bryant, who facilitated this matter, has the right to speak in the University of Washington.

It will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!

"Excuse me, Fang, how big is your university? In what year was it built?" Looking at the donation of 60 million US dollars, as well as Fang Mingyuan's billions of net worth and reputation in the United States, Bryant decided to

Do your best to make this happen.

"The scale is not large. There are currently more than 3,000 teachers and students. It has been built for more than four years. It will take two years for the official enrollment of foreign college entrance examinations!" Fang Mingyuan answered truthfully. In this kind of matter, there is no room for concealment. By then, the University of Washington

Someone will definitely be sent to Fengyuan for on-the-spot investigation.

"More than four years? So short?" Bryant looked confused. In such a short history of the school, there are only more than 3,000 teachers and students. Considering the huge population of China, think about the number of faculty and staff at the University of Washington alone.

There are nearly 30,000 people, nearly 6,000 teachers, and as many as 50,000 students. The gap between the two... is very big! If the partner of the University of Washington is such a weak school, then

But it’s a joke!

Fang Mingyuan said: "Mr. Bryant, our college has just been established. This has historical reasons. Because of our country's national conditions, private universities have not been allowed for a long time. It was not until recent years that private universities were allowed.

This restriction has been lifted. It can be said that our Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology is the best private university in Qinxi Province and even the entire northwest region, covering millions of square kilometers and hundreds of millions of people. Our president, Mr. Chen Nanshan

, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although we have only more than 2,000 students, we have more than 600 teachers, including 400 with professor and associate professor titles. We also have two honorary professors from the Middle East

The school directors, Prince Abdullah of Kuwait and Prince Maktoum of Dubai, have donated US$300 million to the school in two years..."

Bryant took a breath. He had donated three hundred million US dollars in two years. Such a large sum was extremely enviable even at the University of Washington.

"Moreover, we also have donations from Hong Kong Kuok Shipping Group and Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold. In two years, we have received a total of US$400 million worth of donations. The normal operating expenses of the school are borne by me.

"Just half a month ago, the largest library in Fengyuan City was officially completed at Pingchuan Institute of Electronic Science and Technology. It can be said that all we lack is time!" (To be continued...)
