Chapter 708 Seeking help from the Carter Center
"The reason why I went back so early this year is not entirely because of you and Melis. The place where these two big babies live is under construction, so they have to be sent back to Douglas. Fortunately, an extra venue was built. Otherwise, they would be stored in Douglas.
Washington, it will probably cost a lot of money.”
"And Melis is going to college soon. Jenny is the only one left in our family, and she doesn't go to work or have a job. You said how boring she would be if there was no one at home! Besides, I have some things to do when I go back."
"Yes, that's why I can't go to any university! In the second half of the year, I will take my mother over, and Joey and I can stay with her when we are free."
"Are you determined to get out?"
"Um."
"What do you want to do, and which industry do you want to work in in the future? I will give you two million first, which should be enough as a start-up capital, right?"
Seeing that Anna had made up her mind, Carter completely gave up the idea of persuading this cheap lady to go to college.
I have just received United Entertainment, that is, the group of real estate developers, to supplement their annual rent for giant pandas. I will double it and give it to Anna and the others.
"In addition, I will soon set up a family office belonging to our family. If you and Joey have a lot of money and don't know what to do with it, you can leave it to the family office to take care of it for you."
"Okay, but two million is too much, just give me half a million!"
Anna is still very relieved about Carter, her younger brother. After hearing Carter's statement, she will not understand that Carter wants to take back the money given.
As for what Carter is doing, after so many years, Anna is no longer too lazy to guess. Goodman can't even catch up with her brother's brain, let alone her.
"Whatever you want, just use the extra money as the dowry I give you for our family! You can discuss it yourself how to deal with it and how much it will cost to start a business! By the way, you and Joey have been living together for so many years. What?
When is the time to get married?"
"Dowry, what is that?"
"Nothing, you can think of it as my wedding gift to you in advance. You haven't answered my question yet!"
Carter waved his hands and ignored these cultural differences.
Time flies by. Carter doesn’t want to care about this sister who has helped him a lot in the past few years. Whether there is a custom such as dowry in the United States. Anyway, he is willing to give it, who can say no?!
"I don't know, let's wait until the situation becomes more stable. To be honest, I feel that I have gained a lot during my time at Microsoft. Software should be a good market in the future. I usually let Joey learn from them. Now you are here
The position on Microsoft's board of directors has been removed, and I probably won't have to do it anymore. My current plan is to go to California's Silicon Valley to have a look."
"While taking care of Melis, I also need to understand the market demand first. In addition, during this period, let Joey learn technical aspects. By then, he and I will be able to clearly divide the work, so when will it be specific?
Starting a company, starting to launch, I’m not sure. Maybe I’ll find inspiration as soon as I get off the plane?”
"It seems that I have cultivated a competitor for myself?!"
Carter smiled and joked, thinking of Anna saying that she wanted Joey to learn software programming.
Carter started thinking:
"Hey, how is Joey's current level? If he goes to California, try asking him to submit his resume to a company called Oracle. This company specializes in commercial database management software. I'm very optimistic about this company.
The future of the company!”
"Databases should also be an area that software engineers rarely touch nowadays. If you can gain something in this direction, it should be much easier to start a business!"
"Oracle? Okay, I'll remember it. Joey and I will study it when we get back."
While chatting about home affairs, the plane landed first in Atlanta, put down Carter, and took off again.
Looking at the plane taking off again, Carter turned around and walked into a taxi:
“Go to the Carter Center!”
In downtown Atlanta, there is a building that looks like a big sphere. The Carter Center, an NPO organization established by former President Jimmy Carter, is located here.
After getting off the taxi and standing in front of the building's gate, Carter felt a little complicated.
I don’t know if it’s because Mr. Renzong is old-hearted or something else, but this guy seems to have done more things after leaving office as President of the United States than when he was in office! Moreover, he not only has many ideas, but also big ideas!
To paraphrase the annotation on future Baidu Encyclopedia, the Carter Center is mainly committed to promoting the resolution of international conflicts and promoting democracy and human rights.
You are a non-governmental organization that only relies on donations to pay its employees for its operating expenses. How can you have such a big heart?! You also mediate international conflicts.
Aren’t you afraid of being caught in the middle and getting beaten on both ends?!
When he received a fundraising call from Mr. Carter last year, Carter looked a little weird. But firstly, considering that there is no harm in having a good relationship with the former president; secondly, Comrade Renzong's character is still acceptable, and he
How much neutrality will the established NGO organization have?
Let’s not talk about Renzong’s relationship with China, whether he is pro-China or something like that.
It is said that before he traveled through time, Carter not only wrote to the donors of the Carter Center, hoping that they would donate funds to the World Health Organization's vaccine project. He also bluntly expressed his concern about Red Hat's suspension of donations to the WHO.
This is a true international pacifist.
It cannot be said that he is only friendly to China, but to the people of almost all countries. He can be called a classic representative of the Democratic Party, at least worthy of the word democracy. He is really people-oriented.
Use your influence to connect all walks of life and fight for something that can be called ideal!
To be honest, Carter didn't understand the benefits of doing this, and even felt a little baffled. What are you trying to do?!
But this does not prevent Carter from respecting these idealists. At least, they live a very pure life. And Renzong is not like Chuan Xi, who has a little bit of it.
In exchange for a donation of one hundred thousand dollars, Carter could directly enter another Carter's office at this time.
"Mr. Carter, I'm here to ask for your help this time! You won't be unwelcome, right?"
Taking advantage of his young age, Carter opened the door of Renzong's new office with a smile.
"Then let's see what's going on! Sit down and let me hear what's going on that makes you feel embarrassed!"
He walked around the desk and shook hands with Carter warmly.
Renzong still liked Carter, a fellow countryman like him. He had the experience of traveling to China with him, and he had seen what Carter had done for his hometown in those years. In addition, he was from Yale University.
Isn’t this the next generation of public utility attendants?!
"It is definitely a good thing to be reassured! It is a good thing to contribute to the promotion of education in developing countries! The situation is like this, didn't I recently become the chairman of the Yale Board of Governors?"
“I discussed it with Vice President Stevens and felt that Yale’s current student body is very poorly diversified and its students come from a single source. After all, it’s an old Ivy, and alumni inheritance factors have too great an impact on the admissions process. This current situation in China,
We can’t change for the time being, so we plan to start using our brains on international students!”
"Adding some students from developing countries can enrich the students at Yale University and allow our students to come into contact with more different people. Different countries, different classes, and different cultural backgrounds allow them to learn more about
There are so many different ideas and thinking, and what are the similarities and differences in the needs of each different person?"
"We all believe that only by being more inclusive of diverse student groups can we bring real truth and light to Yale University. Only in this way can we better cultivate talents who serve the public sector! At the same time, after these students return to China, they will also
