? North America, Boston.
Enron hung up the phone. In fact, there was nothing special to call Luo Jia, but when he was resting on the plane, he suddenly remembered the experiment of the multi-link system being performed by the hardware department. So I asked Luo Jia's opinion.
No way, Enron is such a workaholic, even thinking about sleeping. Since joining Star Technology, Enron has been fighting with his life.
Luo Jia heard Enron's words and said that tonight, he would proceed to reconstruct a mathematical model.
Enron was relieved. As soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw two familiar faces in the crowd. One was his younger sister Hirawa Sakura, and the other was his classmate. Now he is a professor in Massachusetts Qi Mengzhou.
Ping Yuying is still dressed as a cute little loli, and Qi Mengzhou is 28 years old and is a mature royal sister. She is wearing a dress and high heels, holding a lemon-colored kun bag in her hand. The shawl was obviously carefully dressed.
Winter in Boston is extremely cold. Qi Mengzhou put a long trench coat on his dress, but to meet Enron, what can be a bit cold?
Enron smiled and walked towards them both.
In fact, he never lacks suitors. The reason why he is single is not because no one wants it, but because of the personality of a workaholic. Professor Qi Mengzhou is one of Enron's avid suitors.
"Why are you here?" Enron asked.
"Of course I'm here to pick up my brother. It's so cold outside, let's get in the car." Hiraha Sakura said, covering her frozen face.
Qi Mengzhou drove, and the three went to the hotel booked by Enron.
To a certain extent, people with a high IQ will not have a low EQ. Enron smiled and said to Hirata Sakura, "Luo Jia is fine. Although he has made a star friend, he is still single."
Ping Yuying's face turned red again. She came to pick up Enron, just to inquire about Luo Jia.
And Enran told her so straightforwardly that Luo Jia was still single, making Ping Yuying shy, and she inevitably thought about it in her heart.
"What about you? Are you single?" Asked Qi Mengzhou, who was driving.
"Me?" Enron smiled. "I'm very busy with work. I don't have time to think about anything else."
"By the way, what does the school council think of it? In the past years, there will always be some places for undergraduates, which are reserved for the Huaxia region. This year they were suddenly cancelled. Are they not afraid to cause criticism?"
Qi Mengzhou pursed his lips, and Enron was too clever. Once it was related to his own problems, he would immediately divert the topic, knowing Enron has been like this all these years.
"What's wrong? Massachusetts is a private university that doesn't enroll Huaxia students and keeps more places in the country. Apart from Huaxia, it's not happy. North America is very happy."
"Furthermore, it ’s just that undergraduate students are not accepted, and there are still places for masters and doctoral students in Huaxia."
Enron looked out the window and said lightly, "Luo Jia and I felt that this seemingly small event might be a bad start. Before Massachusetts, Harvard restricted the number of Chinese people. Maybe later , There will be more similar incidents, which is what we are most worried about. "
Qi Mengzhou nodded slightly. Do not look at the high proportion of Chinese people studying in North America. However, behind this is China ’s huge population base and the amazing quality and talent of Chinese students.
In North America, private university enrollment looks like this.
If you want to study in Massachusetts, black students will be enough. Four hundred and fifty percent for Latinos and five hundred percent for whites. The worst thing is the East Asian ethnic group headed by Huaxia, which requires six hundred percent.
This is North America's race balance policy. To ensure the balance of all ethnic groups on campus, students of different skin colors have completely different admission criteria.
Due to the high academic performance of Huaxia and the entire East Asian ethnic group, their admission standards have always been the highest, none of them.
Don't look at the many faces of Huaxia in Massachusetts, but each of them has a much higher score than the others and squeezes in by strength.
In Berkeley, Calif., Where 40% of students are Asian and few are black.
The car stopped at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Boston. Enron is the vice president of Xingchen Technology. The highest standard of business is naturally enforced. The administration department ordered him a presidential suite. The nightly accommodation fee was as high as $ 9,500.
After putting down the luggage, Enron went into the room to take a bath to change clothes. Qi Mengzhou leaned on the sofa and looked at the luxurious room. I couldn't help feeling that the treatment of Xingchen Technology was really good. I really can't compare myself to this poor professor.
After a little time, Enran walked out of the room. He changed into a straight suit and tie, and the whole man looked bright and handsome, as if he were a business elite.
"Brother is so handsome!" Hiraha Sakura said with a bright eye.
Qi Mengzhou felt her heart pounding. She walked over and helped An Ran arrange her tie. She asked inquisitively, "How is it so formal today?"
"I hope to make a good impression on the principal." An Ran shrugged. "You may not understand Luo Jia's character. If this matter is okay, if it is not possible, Mr. Luo will probably start with Massachusetts. . "
"Getting started with Massachusetts?" Qi Mengzhou was puzzled. "You are a business, and Massachusetts is a university, so you don't want to go along."
Enron said, "I don't know if I don't want to make friends, but I believe Luo Jia will always have a way. If that's the case, I'll persuade him at that time."
Qi Mengzhou laughed, "It turns out that you don't want Xingchen Technology and Massachusetts to fall out, so you come to solve the problem yourself, let's go, anyway, let's go to dinner first."
"Um." Enron nodded.
...
Rafaellov has been the principal of MIT since 2012. He is a big bull in the electrical field and has a good reputation among students.
Enron is now considered an outstanding alumni from Massachusetts, so his request was quickly approved, and President Raphael took time out of his busy schedule to meet with Enron in person.
When the two met, President Raphael enthusiastically asked about energy wave wireless charging, super capacitors, batteries, electrical controls, and all his concerns.
After all, Principal Raphael is an electrical source. Xingchen Technology ’s wireless charging and super capacitors are his old profession.
Enron answered the questions in a fluent manner, and at the same time paid great attention to the company's confidentiality rules.
Soon after, President Raphael lifted his chin a little disappointed, and said to Enran, "Hey, I really want to go to your company and see the super capacitor for yourself. After all, it is a major invention that will change the entire world's energy field. "
Enron smiled, "As far as I know, the deep-sea energy storage technology jointly researched in North America and Germany is also very good. In terms of energy storage, our advantage is not too great."
Dean Raphael waved hands again and again, "Your Huaxia people are too modest. Deep sea energy storage has a cost advantage, but the efficiency is much lower than you. In short, I strongly optimistic about your super capacitor project. After all, what you are doing is Technical breakthroughs, and the Germans are only engineering breakthroughs, the two are not a level existence. "
Unexpectedly, Dean Raphael was so optimistic about super capacitors, Enron was slightly surprised.
They talked for a long time, and Enron really couldn't see that the old man with electrical background had any attempt to crack down on Huaxia.
In fact, he likes Enron very much, and he likes the smart Chinese students in the school, and praises them.
Enron frowned, and decided to change the subject, so he talked about Xingchen Industrial Software.
Principal Raphael's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he also praised Xingchen Technology's computational fluid mechanics.
In his view, Xingchen Industry will soon become the world's most powerful industrial software cluster, creating a new era of automated industrial design.
The whole meeting was completely meaningless. Dean Raphael praised Enron constantly and praised Star Technology.
Even he did not object to the publication of Star Magazine in Chinese, and believed that since the scientific research results were made by Star Technology, Star Technology had the right to decide which language to publish.
Of course, President Raphael also expressed regret that he did not understand the issue of Star Magazine, which really annoyed him, but fortunately, there were many Chinese students among his students. It was these lovely Chinese students who helped him.
Enron thought about it a bit, and probably understood why President Raphael looked at the problem with such an attitude. He was born in Venezuela and came to North America to study as an adult. Therefore, he is not the kind of Southern Red who dies and patriots The neck is more like an internationalist.
Xingchen Technology is a Chinese company or a North American company. It doesn't matter to President Raphael. As long as it can promote the continuous progress of humankind, he supports it.
Thinking of this, Enron sighed, "Mr. Principal, I'm afraid that starting next year, the matter of no longer enrolling Chinese undergraduates, has nothing to do with you?"
President Raphael stunned, rarely with strong anger, in front of Enron, rebuking the ignorance of the school board. This lovely and respectable old gentleman always firmly believed that science has no borders.
He even showed Enron his resignation letter. It turned out that because the undergraduate department no longer recruited Chinese freshmen, the principal Rafael was very angry and had submitted his resignation to the school board.
MIT is the world's number one university of science and technology. The sacred place of science and engineering must not be sloppy. Therefore, while the new principal has not been appointed, Mr. Raphael temporarily for the unity and stability of the school. Still managing the school with all his heart.
Enron's support has been completely clear. The issue of not enrolling Huaxia undergraduates has nothing to do with the school. It is the decision of the school council and the financiers behind the school council.
There is a culture in North America and Huaxia. Science and engineering graduates like to switch to finance. After all, finance is largely related to mathematics. It is very easy for science and engineering graduates with good mathematics to switch to finance.
Behind MIT, there is the strength of the North American financial community. A large part of the financial resources of private universities come from alumni donations. These generous alumni control the board of directors and the personnel appointment and admission policies of the school.
So, the so-called academic independence is simply a joke.
A person who wants personal independence first needs financial independence. A university wants academic independence as well as economic independence.
Scholars like President Raphael, in fact, many things that he cannot decide.
Enron was very disappointed and walked out of President Raphael's office, stood in the familiar campus where he was studying, and called Luo Jia.
There is no negotiation at all, everything is the decision of the school board and the financial forces behind the school board.
Wall Street suffered a heavy blow in the duel between Google and Xingchen Technology, in the previous mobile phone battle, and in the subsequent industrial software war. They should hate Xingchen Technology if they want to come.
Enron told Luo Jia about the situation in Massachusetts.
"I think ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It ’s better not to engage in Massachusetts. If we use the rogue lawyers to engage in Massachusetts, the entire academic community will be bored with us. Before, our English journal was not available in English. A lot of criticism has arisen in the academic world. "
Enron suggested to Luo Jia that he did not want Xingchen Technology and the academic world to work together. After all, the company's battle line was already long. Even Luo Jia himself said that he did not want to besiege the world.
"I understand this," Luo Jia said on the phone. "How did you say that sentence?"
"Which sentence?"
"About Dean Raphael, you said he was planning to resign from Massachusetts?"
Enron froze, "I mean, President Raphael was so angry at the school board's decision that he had written his resignation."
"So ..." Luo Jia groaned over the phone.
"You ... what are you going to do?" Enron frowned, asking curiously.
