Chapter 350: Donate 1100 million pounds to his alma mater!

As an established empire, the Sun Never Sets is particularly strong in science and engineering.

In terms of computers, a genius like Turing was born, but he was forced to commit suicide.

Yang Ming is not just as simple as making the other party famous and peaceful.

However, he felt that this matter must be somewhat difficult.

Turing is definitely not wrong about this kind of thing, but who is wrong?

Someone should stand up and admit it.

Arya had determined that Mr. Yang had brought up both of these things.

For the alma mater, either choose the 100 million pounds donated by Mr. Yang, or, as Mr. Yang said, establish the Turing Institute in the name of Turing and receive another 1000 million pounds in donations.

From a capitalist's perspective, this is a tenfold difference.

Arya leaves Grosvenor House Hotel.

Return to Brunel University to meet the principal, Mr. Argyle.

When he saw the secretary coming back, Argyle asked: "Alya, have you seen Mr. Yang?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang was very polite to me. However, he asked two things."

Don't say two things?

Even if it is ten things, or even a hundred things, as long as it can be done, Argyle will agree.

"The first thing is that Mr. Yang said that he could donate 100 million pounds to his alma mater."

Donate £100 million?

In this day and age, that's a lot of money.

This amount of money is even the largest donation to Brunel University in recent decades.

This makes Principal Argyle very happy. There is indeed a difference between famous people and rich people in the school. Even if you invite the rich back, you can get large donations.

The more the merrier, and he doesn’t want too much.

"The second thing is that Mr. Yang said that if his alma mater is willing to establish a new college in the name of a person, he is willing to donate another 1000 million pounds."

£1000?

The principal thought he heard wrongly.

This is not 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, but 1000 million pounds, which is much more valuable than 1000 million US dollars, and is ten times the first donation.

Named after a person?

Is it okay for ten people?

"Is it after Mr. Yang's own name?"

"No, it's after Mr. Turing."

Mr. Turing?

The principal suddenly reacted.

He thought again quickly.

So what if it was Turing?

Isn’t it just named after a college?

"Are you sure it's really Turing?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang made it very clear to me. He said that Turing will be the pride of the people of Country Y."

At this time, the principal needs to think carefully.

Brunel University is a public university, not a private university. If it is a private university, there is no need to consider these things.

Moreover, this matter is a bit troublesome to deal with, and it requires at least the support of the cabinet and even the royal family.

In other words, this 1000 million pounds is not so easy to get.

Mr. Yang is willing to donate 1100 million pounds to his alma mater. He feels that Mr. Yang is really generous and supports the education of his alma mater.

"Does Mr. Yang have any other requirements? For example, we can directly award him a doctorate!"

"No, Mr. Yang said, just give him a bachelor's degree certificate. Now that he is successful in business, it means that he has successfully graduated."

Bachelor's degree?

It's certainly not difficult.

If Mr. Yang wants a master's degree or even a doctorate, Brunel University can satisfy him, because Mr. Yang's series of business successes in Hong Kong are indeed enough to show that he has already graduated.

Even if it's a bachelor's degree, it's a first-class honors degree.

Mr. Yang has a different status. His classmates were in the same class as him, and even his classmates had graduated and left school three years ago.

This time, considering that Mr. Yang is willing to donate so much money to his alma mater and that Mr. Yang has such great influence, this graduation ceremony will naturally be very grand.

As for the establishment of Turing College at the university, he would have to discuss it with the school leaders and even the school board of directors.

That afternoon.

In the conference room of Brunel University, President Argyle and the school leaders and school board members talked about Mr. Yang’s upcoming visit to his alma mater to attend the graduation ceremony.

Brunel University still takes this matter very seriously.

Brunel University can only be said to be a moderately prestigious university in Country Y, and has produced some celebrities. However, Mr. Yang's popularity is also very high now.

"Our school attaches great importance to Mr. Yang's visit to his alma mater and his participation in the university's graduation ceremony. In addition, Mr. Yang has proposed two donations to his alma mater."

At this time, the principal asked secretary Arya to speak out.

Arya names these two things, two different donations.

One sum was £100 million.

One sum was £1000 million.

The expressions of the school leaders and school board members sitting there immediately changed.

1000 million pounds is very valuable. This money can be used to establish a small college. Now Mr. Yang’s request is to establish a new college in the name of Turing.

In fact, Turing was not from their university, but from Cambridge University or even Princeton University. Because of that incident, no one now recognizes his identity.

Especially the University of Cambridge, as one of the two most famous universities in country Y, has too many celebrities. At this time, Turing is just an ordinary celebrity in the eyes of Cambridge University.

Now, Mr. Yang actually wants to establish the Turing Institute at Brunel University.

What is this for?

If there was no such thing, of course they would agree directly.

However, because of Turing's reputation, it is a bit difficult.

"Secretary Arya, I wonder if you should name it after someone else?"

"I asked Mr. Yang, and Mr. Yang said it should be named after Mr. Turing."

So it's really difficult.

Faced with the temptation of 1000 million pounds, no school leader or school board member can refuse.

So that means you must do what Mr. Yang said.

In addition, they need permission from the cabinet and the royal family.

It has been 25 years since Turing left this world. In country Y, this is like a scar. No one is willing to bring it up, and no one is willing to admit the mistakes in it.

Because no one wants to admit that they slandered and drove a computer genius to death.

. . .

Grosvenor House Hotel.

Yang Ming did not leave the hotel, he had been in the hotel's luxury suite.

In addition to Keira, Arya, secretary to the president of Brunel University, and even Shen Bi came to see him in person.

Shen Bi is here now.

Shen Bi has a much wider network of connections than Keira. He is originally the second-largest figure in the royal family and the cabinet in Hong Kong. In addition, his identity is also the current chief executive of Huifeng Bank.

This time he came here because he and Yang Ming were going to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen.

Yang Ming wanted to meet the Queen for the first time before her birthday.

The Queen's real birthday was the second time we met.

Now, Shen Bi heard that Mr. Yang actually wanted to replace Turing Yang Ming, which made Shen Bi really surprised.

Regarding Turing, many people in country Y know it, but many people now may not realize the importance of computers and artificial intelligence in the future.
