830 Expansion
j·p·Morgan is an investor, and the keyword is in this "investment", so if Li Mu goes to j·p·Morgan, j·p·Morgan will of course give money to Li Mu. However, unlike ordinary banks lending money to Li Mu, banks at most need more interest to Li Mu, but j·p·Morgan wants to invest, which requires dividends. Although j·p·Morgan has a good reputation and has always not interfered with the company operations of investors, Li Mu is unwilling to give money to j·p·Morgan for nothing.
If that is the case, Li Mu might as well borrow money from San Diego Investment Company and Bank of America. Even if the interest rate is higher, the meat will always be in the pot if it is rotten.
"What should I do?" Henry was not the God of Wealth, so he couldn't just expel tens of millions of dollars.
"Don't worry about this problem. I'll find a way. You can connect with Europe and put on the air first." Li Mu was not worried. If it really doesn't work, Li Mu could also find Rose Company to turn around and use the money earned from Europe before investing in Europe. Washington can't find any problems.
As September approaches, the Olympics are about to end, and Springfield Institute of Technology is about to start school. A month ago, during the summer vacation, there are already impatient freshmen coming to Springfield Institute of Technology. These freshmen cannot use school facilities without formal admission according to regulations, but this is not strictly implemented. After all, like the previous two years, most of the freshmen are Chinese. Franklin knows very well how much Li Mu attaches importance to these students. Even if graduates have already joined the Joker Group to work, Franklin will not make mistakes. Therefore, even if the Olympics are still in progress, these freshmen can use all the facilities of Springfield Institute of Technology in the name of volunteers.
"Reim, I'm really enough. You'd better get rid of those damn athletes as soon as possible. They've made the campus mess, making noises, drinking and causing trouble, urinating and defecating at will. Some people go downstairs to sing at night. It's only half a month from the end of the Olympics to the official opening of school. I'm very suspicious now whether we can prepare to receive freshmen at that time." Before the Olympics ended, Franklin could no longer bear it. Before Li Mu persuaded Franklin to agree to provide facilities for the Olympics, Franklin had lowered his expectations for athletes as much as possible. As it turned out, Franklin had overestimated the quality of those athletes.
In fact, those athletes have good quality, which is different from most athletes in the 21st century. Most of the people with good physical fitness these days are from aristocratic origins. Only these people have sufficient nutrition to ensure physical needs. Civilians work hard every day to support their families and have no time to exercise at all. The objective conditions do not allow them to have personal hobbies.
Don’t think that the nobles are polite and elegant. Only those little girls who are deeply poisoned by TV dramas think so. Even if the whole world is educating the nobles, the education level is just like this these days, so the quality of those European aristocrats is really not very high. When they came to Springfield Institute of Technology and learned that this is a civilian school, the arrogance and domineering aristocrats in their bones began to show them unscrupulously.
To be honest, if you just make noise, drink and cause trouble, and urinate at will, Li Mu can tolerate it. Quality education has been advocated for many years in the 21st century, and there are still many such people, so you don’t have to have too much hope for this year. To be honest, even if you are a member of the royal family in European countries, your hygiene habits may not be better than those of Springfield Institute of Technology.
As a time traveler, Li Mu is very clear about the importance of hygiene habits, especially for those Chinese who have migrated to the United States across the ocean. From the beginning of entering the departure camp in the Far East, they are required to maintain good personal hygiene. Not allowed to urinate or defecate anywhere is the most basic thing. Under no circumstances are allowed to drink raw water, and change clothes frequently to take baths. These are good habits developed in the departure camp.
One unavoidable fact is that almost all Chinese people have the kind of Yin-Yang head that makes Li Mu hate deeply, but Li Mu does not make mandatory regulations in this regard. All immigrants who are willing to keep their braids will be kept. Those who are unwilling to keep will be rewarded after cutting them off. A simple difference is given. Many Chinese people cut off their braids before boarding the immigration boat. The remaining people cut off their braids within three months after arriving in the United States and started their new life.
Under Li Mu's strict requirements, almost all Chinese in the United States maintain good personal hygiene. Even if they are ragged or malnourished, they will definitely not be able to find any problems from the hygiene advisor. Time magazine once made a column for this, saying that Chinese are the most hygienic group in the United States, which really makes many white people envious, jealous and hate them.
At this point, whites and Chinese are absolutely incomparable. Whites have a larger body odor, so many whites like to use perfume to block the strong body odor with the smell of perfume. This actually has nothing to do with hygiene. Many whites even soak in formalin, their body odor is still very disgusting.
Chinese people don’t have this problem. According to Time Magazine, Chinese people can smell the refreshing smell of soap and the fresh smell of the grass, but there is absolutely no stench mixed with strange fragrance. It must be said that Time Magazine has really helped a lot in shaping the image of Chinese people.
Compared with ordinary people, the aristocrats have not changed in their personal hygiene. Many people in this era still think that taking a bath can make people sick. Some people even only take a bath twice in their life, once at birth and once after death. The aristocrats perform similarly in this regard to this aspect.
Compared with the hygiene problem, what Li Mu could not tolerate was going downstairs to sing. The nobles probably didn't understand how high Li Mu expected the students of Springfield Institute of Technology, so Li Mu immediately asked: "What are the guys who sing?"
Look, "processing", the word fully expresses Li Mu's attitude.
Franklin did not disappoint Li Mu: "The guys who were showing off all the charming guys were arrested by security personnel, and then immediately expelled from the Polytechnic Institute and handed over to the New York City Police Department for handling. It is estimated that they should have returned to Europe now."
This guy Franklin is also a cunning guy. This guy must have mentioned it on purpose. With Li Mu's personality, he will never tolerate anyone affecting the study of students at the Polytechnic University. Moreover, Li Mu is unlikely to allow Springfield Polytechnic students to have emotional entanglements with people during their school days, and even worse with people outside the school, even if they are European nobles.
Many people in the 21st century regard falling in love as a part of their college life, and Li Mu was the same back then, so Franklin misunderstood this point. Li Mu did not object to falling in love with Springfield Institute of Technology students during school, but Li Mu would never encourage him. As for people outside the school, Franklin understood this point very correctly, and Li Mu's attitude on this point is clear.
"Starting next year, students in school should strengthen education in this area and let them clearly know that the school has a bottom line in this area. If someone accidentally kills someone, let him wait to drop out of school." Li Mu also began to realize this problem, which is also Li Mu's responsibility.
Perhaps in the eyes of the US government, all American immigrants are normal immigrants, but in the hearts of Chinese immigrants to the United States, their relationship with Li Mu is a master-servant relationship, especially in the hearts of many older Chinese, which is deeply rooted.
This is not denying or ironic about anyone. This is the case with the Qing Empire these days. The Qing Empire is such a deformed society. Ethnic minorities rule the majority, so they can only artificially divide people into different levels, which is more conducive to the rule of the ruling class. The Chinese have been ruled for hundreds of years in this situation. How many Chinese can maintain their independent thinking?
Not to mention, when Pacific companies immigrated from the Qing Empire, they often did not use persuasion or temptation methods at all, but hired and purchased more directly. The employment was better. If the girls or girls purchased by the Pacific companies were in the Qing Empire, in this case, they should be considered Li Mu's private property. Not to mention not being allowed to fall in love, even if Li Mu beats people to death directly, the government would not ask about it.
"Ha, no problem, in fact, Junma Affiliated School has education in this regard." Franklin's answer made Li Mu a little ashamed. To be honest, Li Mu hasn't cared about the courses of Junma Affiliated School for a long time.
When the school was established, Li Mu hired several teachers through Oliveira of the Connecticut Education Bureau and personally participated in the compilation of the school's curriculum.
After so many years, Mrs. Henry and Franklin became the administrators of Springfield Institute of Technology, Oliveira also became the head of the Junma Affiliated School, and Li Mu also focused more on the mall, and they were doing pretty well.
"That's fine. Go and find Henry and ask him to arrange people for you. After the Olympics, you will demolish all the temporary venues and then the school will be restored to regularity." Li Mu immediately changed the topic.
Li Mu is still more concerned about his work after the Olympics. In order to host the Olympics well, Springfield Institute of Technology has built several temporary open-air stadiums. According to the previous agreement between Li Mu and Franklin, after the Olympics, all temporary stadiums will be demolished, and only the comprehensive stadiums that held the opening ceremony of the Olympics will be retained to facilitate Springfield Institute of Technology to hold large-scale events in the future.
"Why should we demolish it? Many of our volunteers have become sports enthusiasts now. Are you satisfied now?" Franklin was still angry. In Franklin's understanding, students should focus more energy on learning and devote themselves to sports activities, which is a waste of time.
"Then keep it. I'll ask Edward for another piece of land for you. Add the temporary special approvals before the Olympics. The campus can be expanded more than twice as much as it is now, and it will start to expand when the Olympics are over." This is what Li Mu can do. Giving money and land can always block Franklin's mouth.
In fact, Springfield Institute of Technology is now the largest school in the United States. You should know that it was because of the establishment of Springfield Institute of Technology that Li Mu bought Newark. After building Springfield Institute of Technology, he developed a mature community in Newark. So you can imagine how large the area of Springfield Institute of Technology is.
Of course, the "big" here is relatively important. The schools these days are not large in scale. In the future, Columbia University and King's College are only a few hundred people. In terms of scale alone, there are not as many primary schools as larger than the 21st century, and the area is naturally smaller.
Springfield Institute of Technology has left King's College two or three levels behind when it started. After school starts in September, Springfield Institute of Technology will have more than 5,000 students, which will surpass Harvard and Yale, and become the largest higher education in the United States and even the world.
Of course, the oversight here is just a scale. In terms of reputation, Springfield Institute of Technology and Harvard and Yale are still incomparable. So far, the influence of Springfield Institute of Technology is limited to the surrounding areas of New York. Most Americans do not know that there is such a school in Newark.
However, Li Mu is not worried about this issue. It doesn’t take long. Perhaps it won’t take even ten years. Li Mu is confident that he will build Springfield Institute of Technology into the most famous higher education institution in the world. How long did Harvard achieve today’s results? It took 244 years from 1636 to now. Li Mu is confident that he will surpass Harvard in 244 years to accumulate the little fame that he has accumulated in ten years.
Just kidding, Li Mu forced Franklin to insist on putting the Olympics at Springfield Institute of Technology is not in vain. Li Mu's investment in recent years has not been in vain. Not to mention fame, in the construction of Springfield Institute of Technology campus, Li Mu definitely surpassed Harvard, Yale, and even Oxford and Cambridge. Perhaps Springfield Institute of Technology is not as profound as those schools, but when it comes to teaching facilities and teaching concepts, Springfield Institute of Technology is definitely sure to outperform those old and famous schools.
Since you have such a big ideal, you need strength that matches your ideals. Therefore, in terms of investment, Li Mu has always paid no attention to the cost. It will definitely cost a lot of money to expand the school. However, Li Mu can still make up this money and there is no need to worry about Washington's surveillance. Springfield Institute of Technology is an American school, and no one can change this.
