There is a hotel in the school, and the school leader personally took Su Cheng and others to check into the hotel on campus.
Although this hotel is not luxurious, it has all the necessary facilities. Sioux City does not have high requirements for these.
Moreover, he will not stay at MIT for too long and will leave tomorrow.
In a conference room at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, more than a dozen people, including school leaders and school directors, were sitting on their chairs. Their attention was focused on Su Cheng, the world's richest man.
“Mr. Su, please allow me to once again represent MIT to express my warmest welcome and sincere gratitude to you for visiting our school.

However, he did feel a bit shocked and honored when he heard the news of being invited to serve as dean emeritus of the MIT Sloan School of Management.
In his memory, the later Sloan School of Business was indeed the world's top business school, on par with Harvard Business School, and enjoyed a high reputation in the world.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and began to weigh the proposal in his heart. He quietly collected and analyzed information about the Sloan School of Business of this era through his intelligent assistant Xiao Ai.

From its initial focus on cultivating engineering management talents, the college has gradually expanded to a broader business field and has now become one of the high-profile colleges within MIT.
The school has high hopes for it and expects it to become a leader in the business community in the future.
The invitation to Su Cheng as the honorary dean this time is obviously because the school takes a fancy to his outstanding achievements and wide influence in the business world, and hopes that through his joining, the Sloan School of Business' reputation and influence in the world will be further enhanced.
Su Cheng realized that this position was not only an honor, but also a responsibility. Should he agree to it?
Su Cheng frowned, thinking.

Serving as honorary dean will not only deepen his connection with this top business school, but may also bring new perspectives and resources to his future business layout and strategic planning.
Therefore, Sioux City views this as a win-win proposal in which both parties can benefit, rather than a unilateral transfer of benefits.
After careful consideration, he was convinced that this decision would not have a negative impact on himself, but would instead be a new identity that would add honor and responsibility.
So, he made a decision, stood up and said to the president, Mr. Paul Gray: "Mr. President, after careful consideration, I have decided to accept your invitation to serve as the honorary chairman of the MIT Sloan School of Business. Dean. I look forward to growing together with the college and contributing to cultivating more outstanding business leaders.”
After Su Cheng’s words fell, a relaxed and happy atmosphere suddenly filled the room.
Many people looked happy, obviously pleased and looking forward to Su City's decision.

Su Cheng speculates that once he serves as the honorary dean of the MIT Sloan School of Business, he will be able to significantly increase the school's global influence, and may even compete with Harvard University, which is also in Cambridge. Business schools compete.
This may also be the reason why MIT invited him to take this position.
With the announcement of this decision, thunderous applause broke out instantly, and the faces of more than a dozen school leaders and school directors were filled with smiles of excitement and pride.
For them, the close cooperation with the world's richest man, Sioux City, is undoubtedly a huge improvement in the brand value of MIT Sloan School of Management and will bring more international attention and cooperation opportunities to the school. .
In the subsequent exchanges, everyone naturally turned to issues such as employment of graduates.
This is also a very attractive topic for Sioux City.
His business empire spans the world, is in a stage of rapid expansion, and is in desperate need of top talents.
And MIT, as the cradle of cultivating elites, its graduates are undoubtedly one of the most ideal sources of talent for Sioux City companies.
