If you want to persuade these world's top universities to participate in this project, you definitely don't send an official letter to the other party, and the other party will immediately decide to fly directly to China after seeing the concept of "urban complex".

With Chen Geng's current influence in major universities and academic circles, sending an official letter to someone may not be able to reach the desk of the person in charge of the world's top architecture schools such as the Massachusetts Institute of Architecture and the Wright School of Architecture at the University of London.

You have to have the right referrer to meet the person you want to meet.

Fortunately, Chen Geng knew who was most suitable to serve as this introducer.

As a student of Huaqing, Chen Geng knew that as early as 1979, that is, when China and the United States had just established diplomatic relations last year, the U.S. government had organized an American delegation composed of the world's top architecture and urban planning experts to visit China.

At that time, the members of the American expert delegation included Professor Kevin Lynch, the founder of the urban planning major of the Department of Architecture of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a world-renowned urban planning theorist, and an urban planning consultant for many cities in the United States, and Professor Harprin, the designer of the Roosevelt Monument.

This exchange between the East and the West in architectural design and urban planning has impressed the domestic architectural design community, and Chen Geng, a fellow majoring in automotive engineering, has not heard many people from the Department of Architecture talk about how he benefited from the exchange with MIT experts in the past......

In fact, this animal was still in high school at the time, and he had a fart with the experts at MIT!

Unlike the Department of Automotive Engineering of Huaqing University, it is weaker than Western University of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Harbin Engineering in terms of automotive engineering and automotive technology, even if you want to brag, there is no capital to brag about.

Without bragging capital, you can only listen to other people's bragging.

But now......

"Mr. Chen, welcome. Seeing Chen Geng, the leaders of Huaqing University, who received the notice and made a special trip to wait at the gate of Huaqing University, laughed and couldn't help themselves: The God of Wealth is here!

Relying on the cooperation with Chen Geng and the students' internships and part-time jobs in Chen Geng's company, Huaqing is almost the richest of all universities in the capital.

"I'm sorry for everyone," Chen Geng politely bowed his hand to the leaders of Huaqing present, and came up to express his meaning: "Don't hide it from the leaders and professors, I'm afraid that this time I'm here to ask for help from our Huaqing." ”

Help?

It's good to ask for help!

Huaqing is a school, Chen Genglai asked Huaqing for help, he definitely didn't come to borrow money, as long as he didn't borrow money, he could say anything.

Secretary Lin Ke, who was the leader, said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I won't say anything polite, I'll just say one thing: as long as we Huaqing can help, we will never refuse!"

........................

After some greetings and humility, Chen Geng finally explained his intention: "Secretary Lin, as well as all the leaders and professors here, I came this time for the commercial real estate project jointly developed by our company and the capital city. ”

As soon as Chen Geng's voice fell, the leaders of Huaqing University suddenly became serious, Secretary Lin Ke frowned, and asked Chen Geng: "Mr. Chen, do you mean to let ......our Department of Architecture assist you in this project?

He was a little embarrassed.

Chen Geng knew why Lin Ke was embarrassed, for Huaxia, which is still basically stuck in the era of planned economy, commercial real estate, well, still in the stage of state-run department stores, let Huaqing University help design such a commercial real estate project that has considerable influence in the world...... The concubine really can't do it.

Chen Geng said with a smile: "I also know a little about the situation in our country...... So, I heard that the Department of Architecture of our school has had exchanges with the Department of Architecture of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and Master Wu Liangyong and Master Kevin Lynch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are good friends?"

At this point in Chen Geng's words, Link Ke and the leaders and professors of Huaqing who were present already understood what Chen Geng meant, but they were not very sure, and Link asked tentatively, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "I don't know if Master Wu Liangyong has had time recently? If possible, I would like to ask the MIT School of Architecture to help us design this project." ”

The leaders, department heads, and professors of Huaqing University couldn't close their mouths in surprise:! Do you want to play so big?!

But soon, the hearts of the professors and leaders who responded quickly began to get excited.

As the top existence in the domestic education industry, they certainly know what kind of status the Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Architecture has in the world, and they also know how much importance the central leaders attach to this commercial real estate project in cooperation with Chen Geng...... The Department of Architecture of Huaqing University and the entire Huaqing University can participate in this project in the name of assistance, which is a rare opportunity to learn the most advanced design concepts from top universities in the world!

Pie in the sky!

And it's pure gold, the kind that weighs a ton or two!

If it can succeed, I will ask who can and who is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Huaqing Department of Architecture in the domestic architectural design circles...... You scum, you don't have a single one that can fight!"

Although Professor Wu Liangyong was not present at the moment, Secretary Lin decisively betrayed Master Wu: "Mr. Wu Liangyong's work is not very busy...... Our side fully cooperates with Mr. Chen, your time, and you have no problem when you say you will go to the United States. ”

Chen Geng doesn't care whether Professor Wu Liangyong is really not busy or fake, since people say so, he is no longer polite, not to mention that he can't be polite now: "If it's not troublesome, can you ask Mr. Wu Liangyong to contact Professor Kevin Lynch, if it's convenient for Professor Kevin Lynch, I hope to go to the United States as soon as possible...... As fast as you can. ”

"No problem!" Secretary Lin agreed without saying a word.

..............................

Master Wu Liangyong came in a hurry, and he was a little unhappy when he was writing a book just now.

Secretary Lin is such a shrewd person, he immediately spoke: "Professor Wu, Mr. Chen has come to ask you for help for this real estate development project in the capital and the capital, you must help." ”

Professor Wu Liangyong, who was a little unhappy just now, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about that project?"

Secretary Lin nodded: "That's the project." ”

It turned out to be that project!

Master Wu Liangyong, who was originally a little unhappy because his train of thought was interrupted, was suddenly relieved.

After figuring out how Chen Geng needed his help, Master Wu Liangyong immediately said that there was no problem, and there was an opportunity to communicate with the top peers in the industry, which made him very happy: "I can leave at any time, and it is also my wish to visit Professor Kevin Lynch in the United States, but there may be some troubles in the formalities." ”

"In terms of domestic procedures, various departments will open a green channel for you to ensure that the Jedi will not delay your time," a comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who accompanied Chen Geng said: "Even the procedures on the US side may be a little troublesome, and if there is no invitation letter from the other party, it is almost impossible for the US embassy to agree." ”

Chen Geng immediately said: "This is easy to do, as long as Master Wu can get the invitation letter from MIT, I can vouch for Master Wu, well, I also have some connections on the official side of the United States, and I can urge the embassy to complete the procedure as soon as possible." ”

Can you urge the U.S. Embassy in China to complete the procedures as soon as possible?

The leading comrades present looked at Chen Geng with a somewhat strange gaze: It seems that Mr. Chen Geng's path in the US government department is not an ordinary wilderness.

........................

In order to save time, Wu Liangyong did not use the usual way of letters, but counted the time, and immediately made an international call to Professor Kevin Lynch when he estimated that Professor Kevin Lynch was almost up to stop nausea...... Thanks to a temporary special line opened by the telecommunications bureau, I didn't have to wait for half an hour to get through.

After the two talked on the phone, without waiting for Master Wu Liangyong to speak, Master Kevin Lynch took the initiative to send him an invitation letter in the name of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Architecture, and would fax the invitation letter, which could shorten the time for Master Wu Liangyong to go through the entry procedures as much as possible.

Obviously, Master Kevin Lynch knew how troublesome it was for Chinese people to go to the United States.

With the invitation letter from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the guarantee of Chen Geng, a wealthy American, the embassy was unimpeded, and in just three days, Professor Wu Liangyong's procedures for going to the United States were all completed.
