"What's wrong, Charlie, did something happen to Zheng? Or did he cross the line?"

A curious voice came from the microphone, and Charlie quickly spoke: "No, no, this trouble is that MIT invited Zheng Jianguo to join their physics laboratory, but this is not the biggest trouble, the biggest trouble is that Zheng invited me to join his foundation as the director-"

"Are you going underground? Or do you want to leave the FBI?"

The voice in the microphone hesitated and asked two questions in a row, Charlie instantly understood that there was something wrong with his previous words, and he did not refuse Zheng Jianguo but chose to report to the BOSS, which means that he wants to be the head of this foundation in his heart, otherwise why use such an exaggerated tone to shout out his concerns when facing a choice, just confess: "I want to go underground, but considering that Zheng's business involves foreign countries, the FBI has no right——"

"As long as you don't let the CIA people find out, you'll have one-way contact with me in the future-"

The voice in the microphone didn't hesitate at all this time, obviously Charlie's concerns didn't matter at all in his opinion: "Since your relationship with Zheng is so good, I will slowly replace the monitor with someone who doesn't know your identity, by the way, don't contact that Ullica on your side, I will also transfer her away, so that she doesn't have to cause unnecessary trouble when she appears in front of Zheng Jianguo, Charlie, FBI." ”

"Fidelity. ”

"Bravery. ”

"Iy (integrity). ”

Subconsciously talking about the meaning of the FBI, Charlie's voice suddenly became a little low: "It's just that I can't do it in the future——"

"How do you put loyalty in the first place? Be brave for loyalty, be honest for loyalty, I don't need to say this, good luck. ”

The voice in the microphone disappeared, Charlie looked at the microphone that made a blind sound, he couldn't believe that the boss had made a decision so quickly, originally he was still thinking about how to explain, but at this time, after putting the microphone on the telephone, he had a little understanding: "Explain, isn't that just to hide your true thoughts?"

"Bang bang—"

There were two knocks in a row, Charlie looked up at Ullica outside the glass on the door, and nodded until the other party came in, and before she could speak, he preemptively said: "Okay, I have already arranged, you go back, according to the original plan." ”

"Oh, then I'll go back-"

Seeing Charlie's thoughtful expression, Ullica didn't expect that the arrangements had been made, so when she turned around and left the office, she said with a bright smile: "Thank you for your help, Mr. Charlie." ”

"Hmm!"

Standing up and going to the door to watch Ulrika's back disappear, Charlie then had an unbelievable thought in his mind: "If I am dismissed by Zheng again, I don't know if there is any salary and pension to be paid?"

"HI BOSS, WHAT'S WRONG?"

As the secretary's voice came, Charlie turned around and smiled at her: "It's okay, you go and pour me a cup of coffee, it's a little cold inside." ”

"Okay!"

The secretary walked away with a smile, Charlie went to the desk and glanced at the phone, then picked up the microphone and began to dial, and soon with the voice on the other side, he said: "Hi, Zheng, after my communication with the boss, what I can tell you now is that I am ready-"

"Ready?"

Zheng Jianguo on the other end of the phone was a little confused, and then remembered that his plan was to wait for the oil contract to close before entering the market, and quickly said: "What are you going to do with the oil contract in your current position?"

"It's okay as usual, what I told the BOSS is that I won't take new investments anymore, and I won't leave until the contract in my hand is closed, which is also in line with the rules of the futures exchange——"

Charlie's voice came, Zheng Jianguo was relieved, what he wants most now is business as usual, only in this way can he hold on until the Iran-Iraq war starts, no matter what the price of this oil contract is, it will be shot three days after the start of the fight, but there is no way to say this to this goods: "That's good, I may not have time to pay attention to these in a short time, and you can help me keep an eye on some news about oil during this time." ”

"What's the oil news?"

Charlie in the microphone asked without hesitation, Zheng Jianguo thought about it and didn't tell him that he had graduated, so he said: "I have passed the qualification exam, and now I have signed an agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital, and I will go to their hospital for internship after a while, you also know that doctors have no concept of time when they are busy."

So from now on, you can help me pay attention to the news reported in the media about the discovery of oil fields or shale gas technology breakthroughs, and of course it may be that some country is going to increase oil extraction, such as the Soviets over there, their reserves are half a pound and half a pound and half a pound in the Middle East. ”

After this period of attention to oil, Zheng Jianguo learned that the history of Maozi's oil industry can be traced back to 1873, four years before the modernization of Western petroleum technology, and that in 1880 alone, there were more than 200 oil refineries in the suburbs of Baku, and thousands of oil wells were distributed upstream of these factories: "If Maozi's side started with all their might, we should close the position—now we should pay attention to them." ”

Charlie's ostensible identity is a futures trader, and Kashana's identity as a broker is still turned positive after being stained with Zheng Jianguo's light, as for becoming a key account manager after less than a year, this is not the promotion brought about by his sensitivity to the market, but also because of the latter's large investment that he drank the soup and became the brightest star in the exchange.

Now Charlie also has a lot of money in his hands, which is also brought by Zheng Jianguo's dazzling rate of return, so he has been privately studying Zheng Jianguo's investment ideas, and when he heard it, he also knew that he could not refuse this request: "This is no problem, I will pay attention." ”

"I'm going to go out of town in the next few days, and I'll be away for about three or four days, so you can call me on a pager if you have something." ”

Zheng Jianguo on the other end of the phone reported his call sign, even if this call was arranged, the reason why he remembered to buy this thing was because this thing belonged to one of the requirements of the Massachusetts General Hospital, and all medical staff had one, although he hadn't reported yet, he regarded it as early contact.

In 1980, pagers were not a new thing, on the contrary, they had a prototype as early as twenty or thirty years ago, until the development of electronic technology in the seventies reduced the original brick volume to half a palm, of course, the price is still expensive, $200 to $500, which can be regarded as a luxury category.

After eating, drinking, cleaning and preparing, Zheng Jianguo went to the school the next day to find Professor Fisher, only to find that there seemed to be a familiar figure missing from the team, and he couldn't help but be a little curious: "Professor, isn't Ullica going?"

She said that she had asked for leave because of something at home, and she didn't know if she would come back. ”

Fisher said as he put away the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked up at Zheng Jianguo, with curiosity on his fair face: "Are you ready to speak?"

"Ready. ”

Zheng Jianguo's mind flashed the idea of whether Ullica was poached by other laboratories, but the next moment he remembered that if he wanted to change jobs, then he would have better capital to put forward conditions after participating in this March meeting.

After all, the world's research center for atomic-scale graphite layers is now in Harvard University and MIT in Massachusetts, and if Ulrika can attend the March conference as one of the representatives of Harvard University, this capital can be regarded as a real one.

"What is it? Do you want me to help you with your staff?"

Professor Fisher's temperament is as straightforward as most Americans, seeing that Zheng Jianguo did not have the signs he wanted to say, he asked the curiosity in his heart, and the latter nodded and said: "Although I am busy taking the graduation exam of medical school during this time, I am also thinking about some problems on the atomic-scale graphite layer when I have nothing to do, such as the most direct thermodynamic fluctuations do not allow any two-dimensional crystals to exist at a finite temperature, so how did the atomic-scale graphite layer we found come about?"

"Well, this question—"

Fisher nodded thoughtfully, the discovery of the atomic-level graphite layer shook the world's solid-state physics community, because it violated the law of thermodynamic fluctuations, and subverted the cognition that the solid-state physics community had tacitly accepted for decades, just like normal people are saying that there are ghosts but no one has ever called out: "What do you think?"

"I feel like its two-dimensional structure is a little kinked at angles—"

Zheng Jianguo picked up the convenience note on the table in front of him and tore off one of them, pointed to the smooth part on it and said: "We all think that two-dimensional materials are complete flat materials, just like the smooth parts on this paper, but this does not exist in thermodynamic fluctuations, so is it possible that these edge parts are subjected to some twist after being stained with glue?"

"That's a good idea!"

Looking at the sticky note paper in Zheng Jianguo's hand, Fisher looked at his face with surprise after thinking about it, took the sticky note paper and said, "How did you think of it?"

Poking his finger at the sticky note paper in Fisher's hand, Zheng Jianguo said with a smile: "When I was thinking about it, I saw the sticky note paper on the table slightly upturned, and I wondered if there was such a possibility? Later, I found that only this possibility would conform to the phenomenon of thermodynamic fluctuations - I really can't think of anything else." ”

"It's probably hard for you to think of this—"

Fisher finished speaking at Zheng Jianguo with a face full of approval, stuffed the sticky notes in his hand into his pocket and went to the door, and said to several students and assistants: "Okay, then let's go, you pay attention to the progress in the laboratory." ”

"Okay, Professor, Zheng~"

As Zheng Jianguo followed Fisher to appear at the door, several people first greeted the latter and then greeted the former, Zheng Jianguo saw Fisher who turned back with a vague look, and followed him to the corridor to get into the car, and heard him speak: "I have always felt sorry for you to give up the research in the direction of atomic-level graphite layers, you are very talented in this, well, it is not bad in medicine, originally I thought that I could let you work part-time in the laboratory on the weekend, but the school is afraid that you will not be busy——"

"I had signed an agreement with MIT to work part-time in the lab after graduation, and I would take time off on Saturdays and Sundays to do repetitive research. ”

Zheng Jianguo said with a smile that the reason why he nodded after Thomas came up with the conditions was that he knew that Harvard University would not give him the same treatment, otherwise the other teaching assistants and associate professors in the laboratory would have rebelled, and the classes of the week every month would have to be listed in the papers-

This is still not an associate professor position, and if you hang an associate professor, you will have to sign a tenure agreement at Harvard, although Zheng Jianguo is happy to sign a tenure agreement with Harvard University as an adjunct associate professor, but this is something that the latter cannot agree to.

"So you represented the school at the March meeting this time, and next time you will be a member of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Physics Society, right?"

Fisher blinked and looked at Zheng Jianguo with curiosity on his face, and the latter nodded and said, "Well, the Department of Solid State Physics at MIT will recommend me to become a fellow of the American Physical Society-"

Unlike the Gastroenterology Society, which is a purely non-official organization, the American Physical Society, although it is also an unofficial association, from its sponsor Governor of Pennsylvania to the chairman, vice chairman and executive officer below, are all currently official managers of the United States of America or the Institute of Physics, which is half a level higher in formality.

As for the Fellows of the American Physical Society, the Fellows of the Physical Society of America are selected from nearly 40,000 members of the Physical Society every year to be awarded the title of Fellows who have made important contributions to physics in the previous year, and the proportion of the number is 1 in 200 of all members, almost 200.

However, the important point is that although the American Physical Society is nominally the United States, its members are all over the world, so it can also be considered that it is selected all over the world every year, and if it can be selected, it can be regarded as a solid step towards the Nobel Prize.

"Then congratulations in advance—"

A bright smile appeared on Fisher's face, he still felt sorry for Zheng Jianguo's inability to join the laboratory: "I feel that it was a mistake for you to focus on the medical field, of course, considering that I just went to be screened for Helicobacter, I have to admit that your discovery has saved millions of people from the torment of this germ——"

"Yes, I chose the medical field because the screening technology of Helicobacter is somewhat primitive, and the cost cannot be said to be cheap, after all, so many people don't even have social security, maybe I will put my focus back when I find a new way. ”

Seeing Fisher's relaxed expression, Zheng Jianguo didn't ask what the results were, the treatment for Helicobacter pylori was available long before it was discovered, of course, in the name of his discovery "when he was a child", even if it was detected, he didn't have to worry too much, a few dollars of medicine can cure the Helicobacter in most people's bodies.
