Chapter 146: Why Should I Go to MIT?
"What? not under sixteen??" Watson wondered if he had misheard.
If Niu Xiaoqiang is a college student, then everything makes sense, but he is a teenager under the age of sixteen, and he will definitely not be a college student at such an age.
"Who did you learn calculus from?"
"I was basically self-taught. ”
"You—you didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Why should I lie to you?
Niu Xiaoqiang didn't know Watson's identity, and if he knew, he probably wouldn't have said so.
It is definitely beneficial to deceive Watson, if you don't do it, you can study abroad, and the place where you study is still the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. This is the dream of most science and engineering students around the world, and I don't know how many people want to get into MIT.
Watson swallowed, he thought he might have met a genius.
The teenager in front of him was not yet sixteen years old and could teach himself calculus, and it was not unheard of such a genius boy Watson. He has participated in the World Mathematics Olympiad as an invigilator and served as an invigilator.
Every year, the World Mathematics Olympiad is definitely the world's top talent event, and there are many contestants who are about the same age as Niu Xiaoqiang. These young men and women are all proud of the sky, and their IQs are frighteningly high. As long as they are given enough time to grow, they will achieve much higher than the average person in the future.
Watson likes to admit students who have participated in the International Olympiad when recruiting students, he thinks that such students have a high starting point and their learning efficiency is also very terrifying, and recruiting such students can save him a lot of effort as a teacher.
China has not yet sent anyone to participate in the International Olympiad, but that doesn't stop Watson from vatting Chinese students. In his teaching career, he has found that many Chinese students are smarter than those who have participated in the International Olympiad. This is Watson's personal experience, otherwise he would not have come to China in person to recruit the best students.
The young man in front of him was in tatters, living in such a remote ravine, and it was obviously impossible for him to have the opportunity to receive higher education. Unlike the students who participated in the International Olympiad, all of them were professionally trained by top teachers. What does this mean? It shows that the teenager in front of him is much more powerful than those teenagers from professional backgrounds!
As soon as he thought of this, Watson's eyes were a little hot: "Your name is not Zhu Debin, so what is your name?"
Watson thought about it again and again, and finally decided to find out the details of Niu Xiaoqiang. If it were possible, he wouldn't mind admitting Niu Xiaoqiang exceptionally. It doesn't matter if you're young, it's not a problem if you haven't gone to college, anyway, the other party is so smart, he will learn anything quickly, as long as he teaches him well, he is still worried about teaching him badly?
Niu Xiaoqiang's vigilance is still very high, although he can see that Watson has no ill will towards him, but it doesn't seem very appropriate to disclose his personal information at will with a strange foreigner.
He hesitated, "Why are you asking this?"
Watson realized that his question was a bit too much, and he explained with a smile: "I am a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and this time I came to China to inspect students.
Niu Xiaoqiang had never heard of the name MIT, and Fang Dongping only told him about domestic universities, and as for foreign universities, Fang Dongping did not mention it. Maybe he thinks that these things are too far away from Niu Xiaoqiang, and it is in vain to say it.
"What is MIT?"
"It's the top science and engineering university in the world – mind you, I'm talking about the most, not the one. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang just sighed, didn't say anything, and his expression was a little indifferent.
Watson originally thought that Niu Xiaoqiang would actively respond to his invitation, but he didn't expect that the other party just understated it, and then there was no more.
He was stunned and said, "Don't you want to go to MIT?"
Niu Xiaoqiang asked rhetorically, "Why should I enter MIT?"
It was the first time Watson had encountered such a problem, and he was choked on the spot.
He was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "As long as you join MIT and graduate successfully, many top international companies will rush to ask for you, and their salaries are very amazing, which can greatly improve your living situation." ”
Watson saw Niu Xiaoqiang's clothes in tatters, and felt that if he was induced by superior living conditions, it should have a good effect, but the result was not so.
Although Niu Xiaoqiang is very poor now, he has already planned the next path in life. Poverty is only temporary for him, and he is confident that he will quickly get out of poverty and become rich in the future.
The so-called graduates of famous universities are just a stepping stone in Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes, and not going to college has little practical significance for him. Anyway, he won't rely on his diploma to eat in the future, so why waste his precious youth in college?
As for the improvement and improvement of the knowledge system, Niu Xiaoqiang feels that it can be completed through self-study, and he is doing it now. Time is very precious to him, and he needs to save the time to go to university, take advantage of the great opportunity of reform and opening up in China, and become a trendsetter who keeps up with the pulse of the times.
In view of this, Niu Xiaoqiang could only disappoint Watson again: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in international companies, you should be here to ask for directions, right? ”
Watson was embarrassed and a little annoyed. MIT's gold-lettered signboard doesn't work, how embarrassing it is to say it.
Even so, Watson was reluctant to give up, and as an educator, he had an extreme thirst for excellent students.
Watson saw that Niu Xiaoqiang was in rags, and at first glance he was a child from a poor family, and felt that Niu Xiaoqiang must be very important to money, in order to impress this young man, he took out more than a dozen yuan exchanged for dollars from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Child, as long as you cooperate with me to make a game, the money will be yours." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang stared at more than a dozen big unity, and his eyes exuded a look of longing.
After being stunned for a moment, he hesitated: "I can tell you, if you want to use me to engage in any conspiracy and reactionary activities, I will not cooperate with you, and I will report you." ”
Watson laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person." ”
"That'...... So what game do you want to make?"
