Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 658 The request to renovate the dormitory building
"Haha, Mr. Murdoch came prepared!"

Hearing Murdoch directly named Microsoft, Carter couldn't help but smile:
"To be honest, I was a little moved when I first heard it. We are all businessmen, and no businessman will be indifferent to a blue ocean. But, if you want to talk about software design and software distribution, as long as the conditions are right, I can now Determining partnership interests. But we’re talking about the software publication market.”

"Sorry about this field. Before I came here, I didn't do any relevant homework. I didn't think about it in this direction before, so please forgive me that I can't promise you directly now. I need some time to study and think about it."

"That's what it should be! Speaking of it, it's my presumptuousness to make such an exaggerated request when we first meet! It's true. You and I are too similar! Carter, don't you mind if I call you that?"

Touching the shiny top of his head, Murdoch changed the subject very naturally:
"When I got interested in the software publication market and started searching for potential partners in this industry, it was because of your age that caught my attention. As a partner of IBM, it can even be said that the most critical The software provider, the helm of Microsoft is actually just a guy in his early twenties?!"

"This is incredible! Out of curiosity, I asked someone to investigate your information, and then, like you, my father passed away very early. I remember that when I was studying at Oxford University in England, my father passed away suddenly"

"From a small newspaper in my hometown Adelaide, I can't say how powerful it is now, but in the media circle, my resources span Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which is considered a small achievement! Although we are not in the same industry, but this is better, isn’t it? There is no direct competitive relationship between us, and it is more suitable to be friends.”

"So, some time ago, you helped me because of this."

Carter showed a look of understanding
If only to consult the market prospects of software publications, and in exchange for the possibility of a cooperation.To be honest, Murdoch's previous contribution was obviously excessive!
Praise from others is a compliment, but you have to be aware of the reality!

Today's Microsoft can only be said to be a rising star.It is still a long way from the giant company of the future
On Murdoch's side, who is already considered successful and famous, if someone takes the initiative to ask you out, it's a bit frivolous, and there's no need to do such a big convenience for yourself just for such a small thing.

If you add empathy in experience, and some friendships for the long-term consideration.
It is more normal for the media under his banner to help him stand up and say a few words!
"Hahaha, yes! Since I want to make you a friend, if my friend has something to do, I can help, why not?"

While Murdoch laughed, he raised his hand to signal Carter to eat.Eat and chat.
The following conversation did not discuss business topics.On the contrary, it is like two friends who just met. Murdoch tells a little story about how he started his career, and Carter tells a story about his own.
One started as a small newspaper, and the other started as a small bank.

To put it in an unkind way, these two are cheating!
If the father doesn't die, it's not their turn to inherit the original capital, even if it's weak.
One dinner lasted until the early eight o'clock in the evening, and Carter said goodbye and left.

Heart to heart, this is of course impossible.In the business field, Carter believes that there will be friendship, but it is definitely not a friendship born in this way.It can only be said that when the two parties are engaged in different industries and there is no direct competition conflict, the growth experience that is too similar is a relatively natural opportunity for each other to draw closer.
As for what is the purpose of this closer relationship?Does that need to be said? !

Carter believes that Murdoch, an old guy, must have paid attention to the development of computers, especially personal PCs, in recent years.In fact, in the late 70s, with the development of the semiconductor industry, chip technology gradually matured.

The computer has already begun to descend, from the computer rooms of laboratories, large companies, and national units, and quickly entered the families of various middle-class Americans.

It would be a strange thing if a media boss like Murdoch doesn't care about this kind of thing that is gradually occupying American families.After all, in the media industry in the United States, advertising is definitely the first measurement indicator and the core business income!
Whether it is taking the opportunity to understand the advertising needs of the industry, or considering whether computers can be used as a medium to carry advertisements, it is reasonable for him to start expanding contacts in this circle at this time!
As for myself, is there even a need to talk about the role of the media? !

Each has the knowledge and information that the other needs, and this friend can make friends very smoothly.Under the tacit care of each other, at least on the scene, the two chatted like a speculative one.
After the dinner, which was a feast for the guests and hosts, Carter did not stay overnight in New York.Instead, they rushed back to Yale overnight.
"How did your discussion go at night? Is the draft out?"

"Don't mention it, my head hurts like hell! Look at the mess of possible demands, almost none of them are not opposite! Some want efficient administration, some want democracy and freedom; some want to increase the proportion of female enrollment , and there is also hope to restore the all-boys school system 69 years ago, it is not a matter for the board of directors to decide, they are all shouting there."

It's okay not to mention the opinion collection at night, but when this is mentioned, Rick immediately becomes irritable.While throwing the summary sheet in his hand to Carter, the "elegant and fragrant" mouth didn't stop.
"Okay, normal mind, normal mind! It's not like we don't know what Yale is like, just pick some important ones to see. You see, this one is good. I hope the new board of directors can actively promote the renovation of the school building Appeal! You can see that this is very reasonable and reliable! Let me see that this is an old campus. It’s all right.”

As the first batch of buildings built in Yale University, the history of the old campus can even be traced back to 1716, when Yale University settled in New Haven.

In the history of more than 200 years, it is naturally impossible to be completely unrenovated.In fact, Yale in the early days was not what it is today. Residential colleges one after another are like small communities, independent and inclusive.

The original Yale campus building is a very traditional row station.It was not until 1846 to 1871 that the current Courtyard was established under the leadership of the then principal Theodore Dwight Woolsey
And those roads with strange directions.In the original words of the old principal, he hoped that such a road design would allow students to meet more people and make more friends on the road.
After 1871, the old campus was hardly touched.The last renovation on a slightly larger scale was in 1916.
On this day in 1983, walk up to the dormitory building in the old campus.

Halfway through, stepping on and breaking a few wooden stair treads is simply not normal!

In addition, after the electrical revolution, all kinds of wires are all open wires.
The dense wiring inside and outside the building is really a kind of damage to the beauty of the building itself!
