Chapter 566: Harvard Speech
After arriving in Boston, the group stayed in a hotel arranged by Brand.
After resting in the hotel for a day and a half, Zhang Miaomiao, who originally wanted to go to Boston Downtown, also had a lame leg because of 'falling ass', so she could only rest in the hotel.
As the most educated city in the United States, Boston is not only home to Harvard University and MIT, two of the world's top universities, but also Tufts, Boston College, Berklee College of Music and other famous American universities.
With more than 100 colleges and universities, Boston is a veritable 'college town', and the academic atmosphere goes without saying.
In addition, cultural attractions such as the Boston Opera House, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Library, and the New England Aquarium also add a strong touch to the cultural capital of Boston.
Under Brand's introduction, Su Yang also learned a little about the local culture, if Los Angeles is full of charm, then Boston is a small jasper.
With its ancient buildings, crystal clear waterfront and head-to-toe Boston lobster, it's easy to keep visitors coming back for more.
At least, Zhang Miaomiao and Zhang Yiyi ate very hilariously.
However, after all, it is a foreign country, and it feels very new when you first arrive, and you will feel bored and bored after staying for a long time.
Fortunately, Su Yang won't stay here for long.
On the evening of September 28, Su Yang went to a drinking party.
At the reception, he met with the current governor of Massachusetts, the dean of Harvard Business School, and many other celebrities.
The reception went well, but it was also too monotonous and tedious, and there was nothing worth saying except for the exchange of pleasantries and politeness between entrepreneurs, politicians, and educators.
……
Sept. 29, 1 p.m.
Su Yang's motorcade enters the campus of Harvard University.
Harvard University is by far the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and is a member of the Ivy League.
As the university attended by the world's largest number of billionaires, Harvard's excellence and strength are self-evident, which can be described with a more intuitive data:
Harvard University has produced eight U.S. presidents, and Harvard alumni, professors, and researchers have produced more than 100 Nobel Prize winners and more than a dozen Fields Medal winners......
For many years, Harvard has consistently ranked first in the world university rankings.
Similarly, many Chinese students will regard studying at Harvard as the greatest honor in their study career.
And today, Su Yang, who has not even finished college, will give a speech at Harvard's business school as a successful person and an international friend.
Seriously, this is a great blow to those students who work tirelessly and diligently.
Many people who concentrate on reading and studying, at the age of 21, are still repeating some homework in college to prepare for exams, and some are even 27 or 28 years old and still studying.
And Su Yang, this guy who has just turned 21 years old, he has now become the best entrepreneur in the world, with wealth that many people can't accumulate in ten lifetimes, and has talked about life in bed with countless goddesses who lick everything they want......
Therefore, when it comes to Su Yang, a name that symbolizes wealth, many people are not only envious, but also have a strong sense of jealousy in their hearts.
Harvard Business School is located in downtown Boston, and when the motorcade first drove into the campus, there was no wave, and some students from all over the world walked quickly on the road with books and bags in their hands.
Most people just looked at the convoy curiously, their eyes were very light, and some people didn't even look at it.
Through the window, Su Yang didn't see any scenes sitting on the lawn discussing studying, because the weather in Boston today was not good, and it looked like it was about to rain.
The motorcade quickly made its way through the Harvard Business School campus and eventually stopped in front of a modern auditorium.
Su Yang got out of the car, and an old man in a suit with his hair trimmed naked ushered in a few people.
"Mr. Su Yang, it's a pleasure to see you again. The old man stretched out his hand and looked at Su Yang enthusiastically.
Su Yang shook his hand briefly: "Hello, Mr. Pierce. ”
The old man in front of him, Su Yang met at the reception last night, Henry Pearce, the current dean of Harvard Business School.
He was surrounded by his assistants, members of the Harvard Group, members of the Board of Governors, and prominent professors at the School of Business.
After a simple handshake session.
Su Yang turned his head to look around and found that a red carpet was spread on the stairs leading to the auditorium in front of him, and on both sides of the carpet, there were many men and women standing with video cameras.
It's not hard to see that it was some journalists, and some of the guys who were interested in him, who had been waiting for him here in advance after receiving the news that he was going to give a speech at Harvard Business School.
Pierce made an inviting gesture and said, "Mr. Su Yang, the auditorium is ready, and there are many admirers of yours at the scene, and they are all looking forward to your speech...... Of course, I'm personally looking forward to it. ”
Su Yang: "Thank you. I will do my best to speak, and I hope I will not disappoint you. ”
When Su Yang was polite to Pierce, many people around him were observing him and talking about him.
Many people have seen Su Yang in newspapers and on TV, but compared with reality, newspapers and TV still lack some authenticity.
"Is he Su Yang? The richest man in China, the guy who has reached the top 10 of the rich list, looks so young!"
"Nonsense, I heard that he is not yet 22 years old, of course young. ”
"He looks very handsome, he has a good figure, and he doesn't have the thinness of yellow people at all, I thought those photos in the newspaper before were all P. ”
"A handsome and rich fellow, I really don't know how many girls will suffer in the future. ”
"At such a young age, you can give a speech at Harvard, I really envy him. ”
"I'm curious what he's going to do later, but I've heard that someone is going to make things difficult for him this time. ”
"Just watch the play, I don't mind a high-spirited Chinese entrepreneur becoming depressed and ashamed after seeing the magic and greatness of the United States. ”
"Don't underestimate him, he's not easy. ”
……
Led by Pierce, Su Yang led his men along the bright red carpet and into the auditorium.
Gorgeous crystal chandeliers hung from the high dome that illuminated the entire space, flanked by various heads of people Su Yang did not recognize, and burgundy velvet drapery.
Along a more vibrantly colored red carpet, Su Yang walked through the aisle and stood next to a gray-red lectern table under the watchful eyes of many cameras and eyes.
At a glance, in addition to the bright lights, the most conspicuous thing is the photographic equipment.
The layout of the audience seats at the scene was different from what Su Yang had seen before, with fan-shaped divisions and rising back in turn.
The area of the auditorium was not large, and Su Yang roughly counted it, and there were about three hundred seats.
However, what made him feel less disappointingly was that the seats were full, and the people who came one after another stood directly in the aisle because there were no seats.
In addition, he was also told that his speech would be seen by the majority of American netizens on the official website of Harvard University in the form of live broadcast.
Su Yang has no opinion on this.
He came to Harvard, although he said that it was an academic exchange, but he knew that it was just a cover.
His main purpose was to go through the motions and slip away after the speech.
Although Harvard is the world's top academic mecca, which is very good, it has nothing to do with him.
