The floor is covered with a whole piece of expensive carpet. Standing by the window and looking into the distance, you can see the extremely exquisitely maintained garden, as well as the lake and trees in the distance. Sculptures with a long history are scattered everywhere. The fountain sculptures are from the hands of famous artists and are based on the theme of Greek gods.

Standing by the window smoking a cigar, Han Chudong turned around when he heard footsteps and said with a smile on his face, "Nelson, long time no see. Have you finished the things you asked me to help with?"

"You mean donating to Stanford University and donating a university in Shanghai, China, right? There are some details that require your opinion before I can proceed. I have already met with the president of Stanford University, and he asked me to convey his gratitude to you and to hang your name in the auditorium. He can even name the teaching building after you."

"Thank you very much, but there's no need to be too deliberate. I'm not donating to Stanford for the sake of false reputation. I'll be happy as long as I can make sure that the money is used on eligible poor students." Han Chudong plans to donate 10 million US dollars to Stanford University in the near future. Last year, he also donated 5 million US dollars to Harvard and Yale respectively to help poor students solve tuition problems. The list will be determined after background checks, and it will be collectively called the "Mason Han" scholarship.

The idea of ​​donating a university to China was a spur-of-the-moment decision. He hoped that both sides could deepen their exchanges and not let the door that had been opened with great difficulty be closed again.

He added to the old man named Nelson, "In addition to these things, I hope to get some more money to sponsor some Chinese students to go to various universities for exchange studies. The number of places is tentatively set at 300 students per year. They must be able to speak English. In addition to tuition, I will also provide a certain living allowance. When the time comes, I will say hello to the Secretary of State. It shouldn't be a problem. Can you help me list the detailed plan, OK?"

"Of course, this is just a small matter, but I think it's better to keep a low profile because your identity is likely to be used as a topic of gossip. As far as I know, there are many Asian Americans who hope to get tuition from you. You receive a lot of letters and calls for help almost every day. If you selectively help certain people, more people will be unhappy."

Glancing at Nelson, Han Chudong shook his head and said, "I am optimistic about the Chinese market and have invested in business there. It's no big deal to use my own money to help others get an education. What's more, I should be able to get some subsidies from the government there. I hope the school can also reduce some tuition fees. You are only responsible for drawing up a specific plan, and I will communicate and solve the rest. Also... find some engineers to help design a highway over there, about a hundred miles long, and build it wherever it is needed."

Nelson did not say much this time, mainly because the big brother was still there and the two countries were still in the honeymoon period. Han Chudong's donation of money and materials through this charitable trust organization was not a big taboo, as long as he was not deliberately misled by others, there would be no problem.

However, Han Chudong holds partial shares in ABC TV, NBC TV, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Times. In Nelson's opinion, no one would be stupid enough to make a fuss about such a trivial matter.

…

People who have not experienced the two eras before and after reform and opening up will find it difficult to have a deep sense of the changes brought about by reform and opening up.

Han Chudong has been back three times. He has experienced it personally and witnessed it with his own eyes, and learned a lot of not very optimistic data.

It is a pity that we have been off track for too long, and now we are very far away from other developed countries. We have established our industrial and agricultural system relying solely on the tactics of human sea. Calculated in terms of economic efficiency, we are still far behind Western countries in terms of technology level, product quality, appearance design and management level.

Therefore, with the idea of ​​helping wherever possible, Han Chudong donated some home appliance manufacturing factories and Maybelline and Dior Rainbow production lines. While donating, he also set an example himself, trying to tell other businessmen that there was a large amount of labor available there, and hoped to use this to drive economic development.

Helping to develop the market first will make it possible to earn more profits in the future. This is a good thing that benefits both parties. As for the gift of the highway, it is because there is no highway there. The motherland in Han Chudong's memory is a powerful country more than 30 years later. It has just started to develop its economy these days, and it is difficult to overlap with the situation in his memory.

He has invested in 15 shopping malls, nine hotels, beauty and home appliance businesses. In addition, he also created a fast-moving clothing brand just to provide more employment opportunities. Two years later, the four clothing factories he invested in have employed a total of more than 5,000 workers, which means that more than 5,000 families have more opportunities to make money.

It is worth mentioning that this chain clothing store named "Octopus" by Han Chudong has successfully established a foothold in many states on the West Coast by relying on super low prices. Although he does not care about the tiny profit, it is not a waste of effort.

It was a good opportunity. Whether in Southeast Asia, Central America or South America, the cost of labor was gradually increasing. This gave China the opportunity to take over the wave of manufacturing transfer by relying on its huge and cheap labor market. To be honest, every time the early winter passed in Korea, there were many suggestions and advice, hoping that the entire economy could be revitalized through foreign funds, so as not to be like the big brother in the north, which was too big to fail but poor and destitute.

Manager Nelson thought that Han Chudong was planning to use the donation to open the door to that market. In recent years, the call for investing in China has been frequently mentioned by American businessmen.

After a brief chat, he said that a detailed charter would be drawn up in the next few days. After having Han Chudong sign a few documents, he left his study.

When he was leaving the house, Manager Nelson unexpectedly ran into a few people. He wondered why the CEO of Ford would come to Han Chudong's house. Considering his boss's strong financial strength and investments in some car manufacturing companies, he thought there might be a story here and immediately thought of buying some Ford shares.

Whether it was Lamborghini, the earliest investment, or Toyota Motor and Daimler-Benz Group, which he invested in later, with the economic recovery in recent years, they have brought Han Chudong a lot of profits.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Knowing that Toyota still has room for growth, Han Chudong deliberately skipped it when selling off Japanese assets. He currently owns 16% of Toyota Motor's shares, part of which are jointly held by Mason Private Equity investors.

Manager Nelson guessed wrong. The reason why Ford's CEO came was not because Han Chudong wanted to invest in Ford, but because he wanted to use Han Chudong's relationship to jointly develop a new car with Toyota...
