Chapter 82 What did you study at Harvard?
"Brother Li, why are you eating fruit here alone?"
Chen Xu finally had some free time to break and saw Li Kang sitting there eating beef and drinking red wine.
There are also beautiful ladies to chat with.
"Miss Li is here too."
"Brother Chen, you should also sit down and have a rest, drink some juice, and eat something."
"I am always ready to take over from you."
Li Kang sounded apologetic, but he was actually just making excuses for being lazy.
"What's the result?" Li Kang asked.
The most critical negotiations are probably yet to come.
After all, the cooperation involved is quite large.
If Li Kang remembers correctly, in November of the second half of this year, Bird will release a Chinese version of the pager.
It sold out immediately.
But the price is quite expensive.
Refer to Santana’s pricing in mainland China.
It was completely beyond the expectations of foreign businessmen.
When Volkswagen manufactured Santana in mainland China before, the price was not exaggerated, just tens of thousands of yuan.
As a result, mainland executives directly doubled the sales price.
In 93, the price of a Santana was 20 yuan.
How can an ordinary taxi driver afford it?
What kind of rich second generation drove a Santana for taxi in 93? He had to endure the hardship.
The same goes for the Chinese version of the pager, which is unimaginably expensive and unaffordable for ordinary people.
Li Kang only knew that since the Chinese version of the pager was developed, Bird Corporation took off.
It is true that technology is the primary driving force for capital growth.
Relying on this wave, Wang Bo once became the richest man in mainland China.
Worth over 100 million.
Chen Xu brought bad news. He just shook his head.
"It's not going very smoothly. The conditions offered by Motorola are too harsh. If we cooperate, we are simply working for them for free."
"I can't think of any reason why Bird would agree to this."
Li Kang seemed to be thinking, "So do we have any other tasks this afternoon?"
Chen Xu took a sip of wine comfortably, which was poured by Li Xueer herself.
Being able to drink the wine poured by the beautiful woman brought a smile to his face and swept away a lot of his fatigue.
"They all went to rest. They might go to visit Bird's factory in the afternoon."
"I don't quite understand. The negotiations have come to this point. Why would we still care about the factory?"
"You two are here?!"
Professor Lin walked towards Li Kang and Chen Xu with two students.
Li Kang didn't recognize the two people next to him.
Professor Lin took the initiative to ask Chen Xu about Li Kang, "Chen Xu, what's the name of your colleague? I think he's very good, not worse than me at all."
"Professor Lin, this is Li Kang."
"Li Kang, this is Professor Lin. I mentioned him to you before. Professor Lin used to be a teacher at Shanghai International Studies University, and later he came to South China Normal University."
"Professor Lin, I can't understand why you are doing well at Shanghai International Studies University and then come to South China Normal University."
Professor Lin was wearing a cheongsam, which exuded a strong scholarly air.
He smiled and replied: "People always want to move towards higher places."
“I stayed at the university after I graduated from college and worked at SISU for five years as an ordinary associate professor.
It just so happened that the Huazhong Normal University was short of foreign language teachers, so they recruited me. I was directly assigned to the professor.
Professor Lin didn't mind saying this in front of his former students.
She lives more transparently.
I don’t feel embarrassed to use the summer vacation to earn extra money, and I even bring students with me.
"Li Kang, which university in Shanghai did you graduate from? I feel it is not easy to cultivate a student like you." Mainly because Li Kang gave her the impression of being too young.
Normally a university graduate is 21 years old, and it will take at least a few years of practice to be able to communicate fluently in English.
But there is a certain gap between them and the professors in the School of Foreign Languages.
Li Kang has no such problem at all.
"Professor Lin, you are overpraising me. I studied at Harvard University for a period of time."
"..."
The air suddenly fell into deathly silence.
The space around seemed to be frozen.
Although you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself, but you just say you are from Harvard.
That's a bit exaggerated.
Chen Xu opened his mouth wide and his eyes became round.
The two graduate students behind Professor Lin were even more incredulous, and their eyes changed when they looked at Li Kang!
This guy is really amazing.
Li Xueer's heart beat rapidly. She never thought that Li Kang would have been to Harvard.
She had been to college and had heard of some world-renowned universities.
I have heard of famous universities such as Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, and Yale.
Chen Xu looked at Li Kang in disbelief, thinking, "How can you be so boastful! Harvard University, can anyone get into it?"
The number of places Harvard admits from mainland China every year is very limited, and each one will cause a sensation.
Professor Lin's reaction was different, although she didn't quite believe it either.
I had just heard something about Harvard, so I asked tentatively, "Where is Harvard University?"
“It’s in Cambridge, Massachusetts, naturally. It’s on the Charles River, I’ve rowed on that river before, and next door is MIT, the world-renowned institute of technology.
It is not the same as colleges in China. Universities called colleges there are almost always the best universities. Another similar one is Dartmouth College... "
Li Kang said a lot in one breath, showing that he was very familiar with the place.
Now that you have given yourself an identity, just play it to the end.
Anyway, these people listened to Li Kang's talk, which was very logical and even mixed with some stories about a Harvard professor.
Almost everyone believed that Li Kangzhen had returned from Harvard.
"No wonder. It's no wonder that he has such a high level of English since he can study at Harvard."
"With such talent, why don't you go and find a job in a big company, or teach at a university in Yanjing?"
"It's such a waste of your talent now."
Professor Lin said with great regret and even began to persuade Li Kang.
Willing to guarantee him and introduce him to some important departments.
Li Kang was horrified. "Damn, he is indeed a professor. He has a wide network of contacts."
One advantage university professors have over ordinary people is that they can directly recommend talents to school leaders.
Then the leader will recommend it upward.
Local government officials hope that professors from these universities can recommend talents to them.
After all, it is a famous school, so it is normal to have certain preferential treatment.
Li Kang waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm not used to it. Now I just want to live a bad life."
"Give up a bad performance?" This word was somewhat unfamiliar to Professor Lin. In this era, who doesn't work hard and seize opportunities to fight?
"I just want a free and leisurely life. There are too many constraints in the system or in college. I want to pursue my own value in life."
Li Kang thought to himself, "That was a close call. I almost got into my own body."
After hearing Li Kang's reasoning, Professor Lin actually nodded in agreement, "You're right. The current teaching and system are not easy, and the salary is low. It's hard to support myself."
"It's a pity for your talent. You studied at Harvard..." Professor Lin still felt that it was a bit of a waste of Li Kanglai's talent to do this. No one knew about this highly educated talent who lived in seclusion in the city.
"What do you mean by studying at Harvard?" A crisp voice sounded behind Li Kang.
He felt a hand poking him from behind.
Please give me a reward, today is the third update
