Nowadays, there are two million college students in China, for a country with a population of more than one billion, such a small number does not seem to be a lot, but you have to figure out such a situation: these college students are the elite who stand out from the huge base of the college entrance examination team, and they have successfully fought out of thousands of troops, which in itself proves their excellence.

It is no exaggeration to say that the people who can really obtain the qualification to study abroad through their own strength are absolutely the undisputed pride of heaven among the more than one billion people in China!

There is another way to go - you must have a level of power and status in your family that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

China is an official-based country, and the importance of power and status is self-evident.

Niu Xiaoqiang is a special case, he used his genius performance to completely conquer Professor Watson, it just so happens that Professor Watson has a very high status in the American academic community, his personal credit is enough to knock on the door of foreign universities, bypass the most difficult hurdles through recommendations, and help others obtain the qualification to study abroad.

Niu Xiaoqiang is very aware of the scarcity of this resource, and at the same time he also cherishes his feathers. There's no way he's going to use Professor Watson's connections for someone he doesn't know. Even if Professor Watson can't refuse his request, it's better to use this kind of thing as little as possible, otherwise it will affect his image in Professor Watson's mind.

Of course, if Yang Jing took out 30,000 yuan, Niu Xiaoqiang could still think about it. 30,000 yuan is the basic amount that can impress him, and anything less than this amount will make Niu Xiaoqiang feel that he can't afford it.

Therefore, when Niu Xiaoqiang was faced with 5,000 yuan, he behaved very indifferently: "Uncle Yang, this is not a matter of money at all, foreign universities pay attention to strength, and people will not want it without strength, when I helped the children of Uncle Zhou's former leaders to get the qualifications to study abroad, Uncle Zhou was on the scene, and participated in the whole thing, he knows the situation very well, if you don't believe it, you can ask him face to face to see if I told a lie." ”

Zhou Hongbao hurriedly said: "This is not false at all, I was at the scene, even if Xiaoqiang and the professor of the foreign university have a very close relationship, but people are also very reluctant, and finally Xiaoqiang is good to say, people are willing to give a chance to assess, my leader's child is because he passed the assessment, and then plus Xiaoqiang's face, he finally obtained the qualification to study abroad." ”

Yang Jing did not show a worried look when he heard this, but showed a very confident smile: "Brother Xiaoqiang, I won't tell you, my son's academic performance is the best in their school, he often participates in provincial mathematics competitions, and most of the time he can win awards, such strength should be able to obtain the qualification to study abroad, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang once compared with Yang Pan, and Yang Pan at that time showed a brain far beyond the vast majority of his peers, but this performance is still a little far from obtaining the qualification to study abroad.

No matter how powerful Yang Pan is, it is also in the province, there are so many provinces in the country, if the top math leaders in each province are gathered together, how many can he rank?

Besides, there are so many masters in the university, especially those students from well-known universities. After studying in the university for a few years, the thickness of knowledge of these students who had already taken the college entrance examination was by no means comparable to Yang Pan. Even it is difficult for them to obtain the qualification to study abroad, how can Yang Pan, a high school student who has not accumulated knowledge, qualify?

Zhang Xiaolan originally studied abroad as a high school student, but what she really relied on was not her excellent performance in cultural courses, but her strong hands-on ability and in-depth understanding of electronic technology.

Foreign universities seem to pay more attention to students' hands-on ability, or a certain outstanding specialty, or an absolutely top-notch IQ, if you are just the kind of guy with high scores and low ability, it is difficult to pass the assessment of others.

Yang Pan can't compare with those college students in terms of knowledge thickness, although his math scores are excellent, but they are not so outstanding when you look at the whole country, and he doesn't have Zhang Xiaolan's specialty, this kind of person seems a bit ordinary in Niu Xiaoqiang's opinion, and it is impossible to obtain the qualification to study abroad.

In order to take care of Zhou Hongbao's face, Niu Xiaoqiang did not say too bluntly: "Uncle Yang, I have a question I want to ask you, I don't know how Yang Pan's math score can rank in the country?"

Yang Jing didn't expect Niu Xiaoqiang to ask this question, and he was stunned for a moment before he replied: "It's not easy to say, he can be ranked within the top 20 in the province, and in the whole country...... Probably...... Probably in the top 200. ”

Yang Jing was obviously a little lacking in confidence when he said this, there are so many provinces in the country, Yang Pan can only rank in the top 20 in one province, how can he be in the top 200 among so many provinces?

Niu Xiaoqiang showed an embarrassed look: "Uncle Yang, we only have so many qualifications to study abroad in China every year, and all of them add up to more than two hundred, according to Yang Pan's current results, I am afraid that I still need to work hard." ”

Yang Jing immediately waved his hand: "This is only the quota for publicly-funded study abroad, and there are also places for self-funded study abroad, I have inquired, if it is self-financed study, Yang Pan's grades can basically meet the requirements." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't expect Yang Jing to want to take the road of studying abroad at his own expense, and he was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Uncle Yang, you just said that you have inquired about the news, I wonder if you have inquired about the cost of studying abroad at your own expense?" As far as I know, the tuition fees of universities in the United States alone cost tens of thousands of dollars, and if you add the cost of living and the money for buying study supplies, the four-year college study will cost at least 60,000 or 70,000 US dollars, and this is still the most economical situation, and the total cost may exceed 80,000 US dollars if you don't save a little bit, otherwise those publicly-funded students in China will not take advantage of the holidays to work around and earn money to subsidize living expenses. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang said this: "What's more, the United States can only use US dollars, and the RMB cannot be circulated at all there.

Niu Xiaoqiang heard Yang Pan talk about their family's economic situation last time, and according to Yang Pan, their family's total assets are three or four hundred thousand yuan. This amount of money is naturally quite a huge amount in China, but it is still not enough to study at your own expense.
