Key Developments & Strategic Breakthroughs

Chinese Government & Investor Commitment

Government Pre-Approval: Sherman reported from China at 1 AM local time with major breakthrough:

"Today we met with the government. All of the licenses are pre-approved. And I met with the Chinese investors. And they're willing to, within two weeks, put what we're calling just the seed money, which is the money we're going to need to do the licenses, any future travels, things like that."

Chinese Urgency: Demonstrated high-level commitment to rapid implementation:

"So the Chinese side is extremely serious about getting this project. So we just need to know, how does Dr. Alexander want to proceed?"

Six-Week Timeline: Aggressive implementation schedule outlined:

"And so from the Chinese side, we would like to basically have everything going forward in about six weeks."

Investment Confirmation: Financial backing already secured:

"The Chinese side, they're already going to start putting the investment forward... The money has already started... We are 100% serious on the project."

Curriculum Development Philosophy & Partnership

Lael's Comprehensive Approach: Dr. Alexander outlined holistic curriculum integration strategy:

"So looking at the way that the first I would like to understand what was your basic curriculum and see how I can inject what we do in the mechanics curriculum into that way. Secondly, if there's no quantum curriculum defined, my inference would be defining that quantum curriculum and then setting a basis from our nitrogen technologies to actually teach those philosophies and metrics to the students."

Professional Implementation: Emphasized systematic educational approach:

"There's it's a it's a full course. I mean, I'm not I'm not I'm not a beginner in the teaching phase of things. So it's like we would approach this the same way you would any other professional curriculum that's being implemented as a digest into a system."

Blank Slate Educational Vision: Sherman articulated revolutionary approach:

"This is a blank slate of education. Excellent. We are going to create something new. And our only limitations. Is us. That's the only limitations we limit ourselves to."

Student-Centered Philosophy: Core educational principle established:

"They're like, what separates you? And I said to them, we're giving education back to the student. What separates us is we're actually going to be educating again."

Revolutionary Educational Model Development

Agency Concept: Lael proposed transformational framework:

"Can we just kind of skip off for a second? Because based on what I've heard from you guys and of course our designers over here, isn't it more like we're building an agency? So it's an agency because once they've gone through this officer training curriculum, we're going to deploy them into the world to solve problems."

Corporate Partnership Integration: Sherman outlined industry collaboration model:

"That one part of my responsibilities is that we're going to make partnerships with all the major companies and that they will be our guides. We'll bring them into the high school. We'll have them as a part of the curriculum."

Anti-Status School Philosophy: Gary emphasized mission-driven approach:

"Well, Sherman, we appreciate you taking seriously our conversations last week about how we're not trying to create a gaokao high-scoring factory. We could care less about Harvard. We could care less about Oxford."

Character-Based Development: Focus on authentic capability building:

"The kids will get into these schools just because of how skilled they're going to be and good character they're going to be, but we're not going to be reverse-engineering from those outcomes."

Corporate Partnership & Technology Integration

NVIDIA Partnership Confirmation: Major technology alliance secured:

"I just share with you, and I think I shared this earlier, NVIDIA wants to join this project. And they should, and that's a great partner."

Lael's Technical Excitement: Strong endorsement of NVIDIA collaboration:

"100%. Yes, of course. Because, especially because core to our quantum portion of what we provide to the students, NVIDIA is going to be kernel to that. We're going to be utilizing the CUDA framework. That's a whole other language."

Perfect Partnership Structure: Sherman outlined ideal collaboration framework:

"Notabene, NVIDIA, us. Yep. Yes. That's the perfect world, to be honest with you. I can't even think of another company in China that I would prefer more."

Legal Structure & Business Formation

Alexander Sheng Inc. Establishment: Formal business entity confirmed:

"Our side is represented as Alexander Shang Inc. Right? And so you tell us, like, you know, I've already written that in the document."

Educational Focus: Specialized consulting group structure:

"Gary and I, we had started this consulting group that just was focused on education. So that's the domain that Gary and I and our interests pour into."

Dual Signature Authority: Operational structure clarified:

"Gary would be signing or would you be signing documents? It would be a double sign. Yeah. It would be a double sign."

Macau-Based Operations: International business structure:

"And that when we sign contracts, it would be between my Macau-based company and that company. Yes. Correct."

Delaware Incorporation: U.S. legal foundation:

"I can forward you all of the details to that company doing a foreign entity registration in the state of Oklahoma, but it would be at Delaware Airport."

Curriculum Development Team Expansion

Cornell Professor Partnership: Additional academic expertise:

"His last name is Perry. Him and his wife are both professors at Cornell, and they've actually started this style of school in Detroit already, and they're just wanting to join our project."

Super Soldiers Concept: Elite development team formation:

"And actually, I mean, we should probably bring some of our other peers in, right, so that we could make a session. I call them super soldiers. Yeah, that's good. Let's bring our super soldiers in and let's just have our day, our week if it needs to be."

Face-to-Face Development: Tulsa curriculum design intensive:

"No, I will be in Tulsa. This is a powwow, but it has to be face-to-face. Yes. We develop the curriculum."

Curriculum Design Passion: Sherman and Lael's shared enthusiasm:

"I love curriculum design. Me too. I am so passionate about curriculum design. It really drives our colleagues crazy. Curriculum design, I sincerely love."

Non-Disclosure & Security Protocols

Comprehensive NDAs: Security framework implementation:

"And then the other thing is everybody on my side has signed non-disclosure agreements. Yes, let me, please forward one over to us so that we can manage it on behalf of our personal interests and our agency interests."

Bilateral Responsibility: Sherman's operational authority:

"This is, yeah, we're all signing non-disclosures, but please just, you and I, I think we'll just sit and talk because on the Chinese side, I'm the one who's going to end up being responsible for the program."

Strategic Vision & Parent Resistance

Breaking Traditional Expectations: Revolutionary approach to family pressure:

"That is exactly what I told everybody today. We are going to break from what Mom and Dad want. I love that. We want the kids to develop where they go, what they want."

Harvard Rejection Philosophy: Alternative success metrics:

"So I want my son to go to Harvard. And I said, is that what you want? What does your son or daughter want?"

Dynamic Educational Model: Anti-static approach:

"I don't want a static school. I'll be direct with you. Perfect. I don't want a copycat school. I don't need, yes. I don't even have to retort. We're on the same page already. Yes. No, it has to be dynamic. It has to be fluid."

Post-Call Strategic Discussion

Workforce Development Philosophy

Coleman's Industrial Perspective: Emphasis on human capital development:

"So what Lale has always created his own intellectual properties in people, too. And so it's how are you going to get those people to build the empire that needs to be built? And that's what I see is every every approach that you can take toward that goal. You've got to have good people."

Global Workforce Strategy: International collaboration framework:

"And that can be worldwide. Yeah, absolutely. It's yeah. Workforce development should be worldwide. Yeah. If if you're going to still have a global economy. Yeah. The workforce should get that from that big of a help promote that."

National Cooperation Model: Coleman's diplomatic vision:

"It's a synergy for cooperation among nations. So I think it's great. This is how we're going to do all that here."

Training Capacity & Scaling Philosophy

Gary's Realistic Assessment: Strategic capacity management:

"Well, what I was mentioning to Lale like a couple hours ago was what I realize is that we we're not going to be able to help many people. And I'm not saying that from a defeatist perspective initially. So if we try to help too many people before we have the the capacity to."

Train-the-Trainer Model: Systematic capability building:

"Because we also need to train the trainers. Right. Trainers to train. Trainers to train. Trainers to train. Trainers to train. Trainers to train. Right."

Quality Over Quantity: Focus on depth of impact:

"Most people will will not benefit from what we know needs to be done, which it just is what it is. And so, you know, making sure that the people that we do help are really helped. They're really empowered."

Funding-First Strategy

Coleman's Investment Sequencing: Practical development approach:

"I think that's first order. I think that's one of the first things you do whenever you say, okay, we have the funding to do this. And now, because this is training the people to make everything happen."

Long-term Sustainability: Strategic patience for broader impact:

"Right, for sure. You've got to get the funding right first. So, you can be more long-term altruistic."

Human Capital Investment: Priority on trainer development:

"Because there's, that's one of the initial major investments in the people you're going to need."

Educational System Critique & Vision

Harvard System Failure: Institutional inadequacy assessment:

"Literally, it's not even, the funny thing is it's not even altruistic because we need to train people that can actually commercialize products, right, and solve problems for humanity. And we're not going to, we've, Harvard and all these schools have failed to develop people like you."

Ecosystem Integration: Holistic human development model:

"So, it's like literally just all part of one ecosystem, one flywheel where humans are the most important part of it."

Faith Integration & Personal Connection

Men's Bible Study Invitation: Sherman's spiritual community:

"You should have come to our golf day. Like I said, my family does a Bible study once a week. We do it online for two hours. It's a time for men to fellowship and to strengthen our core values. But you are more than welcome to join us."

Worship Service Relevance: Gary's Sunday experience:

"Yeah, yesterday was awesome. It was great. It was very relevant. It was about the need for men to step up and start leading again."
