Chapter 1767 money
"I agree!" Qin Feng nodded.
In fact, Qin Feng really wanted to say something heroic, why 20 years, just ten years.
But think about it, ten years later, it will be 2009, not long after smartphones were launched. The market value cannot be that high.
So, let’s say twenty years.
In fact, FACEBOOK has never reached a trillion-dollar market value.
After all, its means of making money are limited.
Unlike Apple, Microsoft has its own powerful means of making money.
Apple's iPhone, Mac computers, etc. Microsoft's cloud computing, office series, etc.
And FACEBOOK, in addition to advertising, is still advertising.
So, this is still difficult.
But for Qin Feng, he started to develop so many years in advance. If he can't surpass his past, then he is a waste.
"Principal, you really don't want that 1% share, that's tens of billions of dollars." Qin Feng refused to give up the temptation.
"Qin Feng, money is very important and tempting to many people. But to me, it is not that important. Of course, this is not that I am arrogant, but that I am not short of money!" the president of Harvard said with a smile.
.
"My annual salary at Harvard is more than 700,000 US dollars, which is enough for my family's expenses. At the same time, last year, I was awarded an honorary degree by Oxford University, and Yale University also gave me the same degree. At the same time, I am also fortunate to be a member of Oxford University.
An honorary fellow of New College and Emmanuel College of the University of Cambridge, and an honorary provost of Princeton University. These titles do not directly pay me a salary. However, I do have corresponding allowances. Together, these incomes,
My annual income exceeds one million dollars." Harvard President Rudstein said proudly, "Tell me, why do I spend so much money?"
Qin Feng scratched his head.
There's really no place to spend this.
Rudstein spends most of his time on the Harvard campus. He has already bought a house for accommodation and has no expenses. Let alone one million dollars a year, even one hundred thousand dollars. As long as he does not travel around the world, it will not be spent.
Lose.
My 1% share is worth US$10 billion. It is very tempting, but it cannot tempt everyone.
Especially, for a person who is not short of money, there is no temptation.
"So, I will not give up my principles for the money that I cannot spend, even if it is money that I will never earn in my life. I can give you the green light, but it is because I can start from the level of Harvard University, and
Not a person!" Rudstein said.
"Principal, it's me, Meng Lang. I apologize for what I just said!" Qin Feng stood up and bowed.
"Okay, you go back and prepare. I will hold a meeting to discuss and then allocate a piece of land for you. You can decide the size of the land, but you cannot decide the location." Rudstein said.
"Okay!" Qin Feng grinned,
No matter where it is, as long as it's on Harvard campus, that's fine.
Looking at Qin Feng's leaving figure, Rudstein shook his head.
Once this precedent is set, we don’t know what consequences it will have.
After all, before this, although Harvard had accepted sponsorship from various celebrities to provide their children with the convenience of studying at Harvard, it did not allow any private companies to come in.
This time, this precedent is broken.
Of course, Qin Feng's confidence impressed him.
With a market capitalization of US$1 trillion, this is too confident.
Rudstein may not see this day coming. After all, he is 64 years old this year. In 20 years, he will be 84 years old, and he does not know whether he will be able to live to that day.
But even if he can't see it, Harvard can certainly see it.
Subsequently, Rudstein held a school board meeting to discuss the issue.
Not surprisingly, Qin Feng's request was opposed by all the school directors.
Everyone is strongly opposed to the emergence of private companies on Harvard campus.
That way, the atmosphere on campus will be different.
However, everyone was shocked when they heard that Qin Feng was confident that the company's market value would reach US$1 trillion in the next twenty years.
This is a trillion US dollars, and the most valuable company now only has more than 200 billion US dollars.
This gap is too big.
Qin Feng is too ambitious. Of course, he is also too confident.
"Everyone, I think we can give Qin Feng a chance. Especially, he promised to only recruit Harvard undergraduates in the future. I think this will be very helpful to all IT students in school. Especially, I
"I personally look forward to seeing Harvard become a company with a market capitalization of trillions of dollars." Rudstein said, "Once we own 5% of the shares, Harvard will no longer have to rely on donations from all walks of life every year."
Harvard is a profitable private school. However, the main source of its money comes from donations from all walks of life. Putting aside these donations, Harvard does not make money.
Although the tuition is expensive, the expenses are also large, and the money spent on various research investments is also wasted.
If these 5% shares can really reach a market value of one trillion yuan, then Harvard can be regarded as having an additional fixed asset.
Of course, 5% is a bit less. However, after all, this is a school, and the school directors are not expecting to rely on Harvard to make personal money. All the money from Harvard goes into the Harvard Fund to conduct research and investment in various fields, as well as for
Scholarships are provided to some extremely outstanding students.
In itself, the money earned by Harvard has never entered any individual's pocket. It can never enter any individual's pocket.
This situation also allows school directors to be more objective and have no personal desires.
Finally, after some discussion, the school regents approved Qin Feng’s proposal to build the Facebook headquarters building on Harvard campus.
Of course, the overall style must be in line with Harvard's campus style. They are allowed to erect company logos, but anyone unrelated to Harvard is not allowed to appear.
Of course, this refers to within the company. In other words, all employees, even the cleaning staff, must be Harvard people. They cannot be outsiders.
This is to ensure the absolute Harvardization of his company.
Qin Feng had no objection to this.
"But boss, I'm in trouble. I'm not from Harvard!" Marissa Mayer frowned.
She is from Stanford.
"It doesn't matter, I'll sign up for you to get a doctorate in artificial intelligence. Study on the job and the company will reimburse the tuition." Qin Feng solved Marissa Mayer's dilemma in one sentence.
Marissa Mayer's eyes lit up.
"If this is the case, then in the future we can also poach outside talents. After all, Harvard's IT department is not the strongest." Marissa Mayer chuckled.
Qin Feng blinked.
It seems that this is a workaround.
Of course, it is impossible to go too far. After all, schools are not fools. However, if you really want to meet top talents, this is a way to solve the problem of non-Harvard departments.
