Chapter 1058 (1/2)
”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.
