Chapter 836: A Cold Welcome
Su Meili looked at Ye Qiu and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ye Qiu knows so much. He is worthy of being the most famous student of Ningbo University. ”
After a pause, he added: "When I was a freshman, I made the company so big, no wonder I knew so much." It would be nice if I had a tenth of you. ”
Ye Qiu smiled and didn't speak.
Stanford University is a private research university located in Stanford, California, United States. The university was founded in 1891 by railroad tycoon Leland Stanford, then Senator and Governor of California, and his wife.
The university was founded in memory of their son, who died of typhoid fever on the eve of his 16th birthday.
The school's campus is located in the northwest of Silicon Valley, near Palo Alto. The university's academic departments are grouped into seven academic faculties, while other assets, including the Bioconservation Zone and the Accelerated Laboratory, are located outside the main campus. It is also one of the wealthiest educational institutions and the first university to receive more than a billion dollars in donations in one year.
Stanford has produced quite a few famous people. Its alumni include 30 wealthy entrepreneurs and 17 astronauts, and it is one of the largest producers of members of the U.S. Congress. Stanford alumni have founded many famous companies such as Google, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, Nike, Sunrise Computer, etc., and these companies together have the same capital as the world's 10th largest economy. A total of 58 Nobel laureates are currently studying or working at the University.
Such a famous school does have an unparalleled heritage and the confidence not to take any other school in their eyes.
……
On the couch of the Newsberg Hotel in Stanford, two men in suits and leather shoes are sitting and smoking cigarettes.
"Mr. Dean, this is really a hard job. A middle-aged man with brown curly hair and dark skin said with a smile while smoking.
"Mr. Perez, you shouldn't have such thoughts. Our Chinese guests come from afar, and our warm reception is a matter of course. The man with thinning hair said with a smile.
William, the dean of the Stanford School of Economics, was personally accompanied.
Because the company founded by Stanford's alumni is equivalent to the tenth largest economy in the world, Stanford's School of Economics is quite well-known in the United States. Although many of those alumni were not trained by the School of Economics during their time at the school, the fame of the School of Economics is there, coupled with the feedback of the alumni to the school after their success, the fame of the School of Economics is also increasing.
This time, the school did not come forward to receive it, and let the dean of the School of Economics receive it, which can be regarded as matching Ninghai University to some extent.
"Mr. Dean, my heart is warm, but my stomach has been protesting. Perez, a doctor of economics, said with a smile. "I'm just wondering, why do we want to communicate with the Huaxia family in the name of nothing? Is it meaningful, since there is no meaning, why should we waste each other's time?"
William snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, put his hands together, and said with a smile: "Mr. Perez, you are a great economist, and your achievements will be written in the history of economics." However, you don't understand politics. ”
"Oh. Damn politics. Perez scolded. "Because of this shit-like thing, can a simple exchange of visits make their poor students grow up? I can think about the so-called excellent students they sent this time, who were beaten and bullied by the students we sent out casually and then returned in despair, and they also had to catch the eyes and laugh, I feel too cruel when I think about this. ”
William smiled and said, "The Chinese Empire's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and it has also produced many outstanding talents. As far as I know, some of the people who are currently working in the top echelons of the Chinese Empire have graduated from Ninghai University. These people were at the helm of the Chinese Empire, which allowed the Chinese Empire to face financial crises calmly several times. Therefore, their strength should not be underestimated. ”
After a pause, he continued, "Of course, I don't think their students are so good. The Stanford family wanted to make some investment in the Chinese Empire, and they offered to exchange visits between universities. If we don't accept ...... You think of what a horrible thing this is. After all, the people on the board don't think too much about it. ”
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "Mr. Perez, it looks like our guest is coming." Let's go, let's go to the lobby and be warm, and call the kids. ”
Perez, a doctor of economics with curly brown hair, could only shrug helplessly and accompanied William outside.
The car that greeted the delegation did not drive directly to Stanford University, but first went to a four-star hotel called Niusbao near the school.
At the entrance of the hotel, the delegation of Ninghai University finally met with the management of the School of Economics of Stanford University.
William, the dean of Stanford College, brought Perez, a well-known doctor of economics in the field of economics, Mike, special assistant to the dean, Jesse, the office secretary, and five outstanding students specially selected by the department of the School of Economics.
Seeing that the car stopped and the people in the car walked down, William took the initiative to greet Dean Xiao Chuanwei and shook hands, and said happily: "Mr. Dean, it's a pleasure to meet you." It's a real joy for me. I'd love to see you and these lovely kids sooner. However, due to some unavoidable reasons, I can only stand at the door of the hotel to greet me, and I ask for your understanding. I sincerely apologize to you. ”
William spoke English, and it just so happened that everyone on the delegation had a very good level of English. Therefore, Ye Qiu and they could all understand what he said.
Hearing William explain to Dean Xiao Chuanwei the reason why he couldn't go to the airport to greet him, whether this reason was true or not, everyone's hearts felt better.
The Chinese people are kind, tolerant, and very sensitive. Of course, this sensitivity only stems from whether they are respected or not.
"It's okay. We are very sorry for making Mr. William and all the students wait so long. It's us who should apologize. Xiao Chuanwei said with a smile.
Then, William shook hands with the members of the expedition one by one. During the handshake, Cao Yi acted as an interpreter and introduced the names of each member of the Ninghai University exchange group to William.
After the handshake, William introduced the personnel on his side to the delegation of Ninghai University.
The names of the people of the United States are not easy to remember, but Ye Qiu's memory is relatively good, so he can barely remember them.
"I'm Melanza. Ye Qiu, welcome to Stanford. When a girl shook hands with Ye Qiu, she suddenly said in Huaxia.
