Chapter 490: Basketball Game

……

The next day, Guo Shouyun just got up and received good news from Rebecca.

"Boss, passed. The documents for our acquisition of Unocal have been approved by the Ministry of Commerce!"

The things that have been working hard for half a year have come to fruition, which makes Rebecca, who has always been calm, also become excited.

Of course, Guo Shouyun was also very happy. However, after deciding to marry the Roosevelt family, he had already expected this outcome. Therefore, compared to Rebecca, he is relatively calm.

"Since it has been passed, then a press conference will be held to officially announce the news to the public. Then integrate the company and prepare it for listing. ”

"Yes... Boss, are you still participating?"

"You will preside over the press conference, and I will not participate!" Guo Shouyun shook his head, he still had his own affairs to do. And he doesn't like snowflake flashing lights.

After hanging up Rebecca's phone, Guo Shouyun breathed a sigh of relief. By taking Unocal, he is one step closer to building his own oil empire. However, to complete the acquisition of ConocoPhillips, I am afraid it will take four years to come. As for the third step, it will take longer. But it doesn't matter, in addition to being hardworking, what Chinese people are best at is long-term planning, and then wait patiently.

"Boss, everything is packed, are you going to go?"

Wu Xiaojing pushed the door and walked in.

"Let's go!"

After Guo Shouyun nodded, he simply cleaned up the desk, put on his coat and walked out.

When he asked Lawrence Summers for help in his acquisition of Unocal, he promised him that after returning to the United States from China, he would give a lecture at Harvard University. Now in New York, not far from Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Harvard is located, I will do this thing together, and I will not have to run errands next time.

But as soon as he left the house, he met George Roosevelt.

"Bruce...!"

Looking at the future brother-in-law who rolled down the window to say hello, Guo Shouyun sighed, he really didn't want to have more contact with this somewhat annoying guy. But because the two sides were about to be inseparable, he still rolled down the car window.

"What's the matter?"

"Where are you going?"

"Cambridge, Massachusetts...!"

"Great, I'm going there too, take me along!" interrupted George Roosevelt happily.

"You're going too?"

Guo Shouyun was stunned, do you want to be so coincidental?

"Hmm... The company's scouts found a quality target there and were ready to go over and take a look. By the way, do you want to send you a photo, he is very beautiful, and he is also a top student of Harvard Liberal Arts School!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand, "You better keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly!"

As the words fell, he closed the window and asked the driver to drive towards the airport.

Take George Roosevelt and fly to Cambridge, and the process is not lonely. In the next hour or so, Guo Shouyun arrived at his destination.

Guo Shouyun naturally had a hotel located inside the school arranged by the school, but George Roosevelt did not have this kind of treatment.

"Bruce, I've been looking forward to you for a long time!"

"Lawrence, I'll never forget what I promised!"

The two hugged warmly and sat down in the room.

"How's it going, is the speech ready?"

"Of course!"

Lawrence Summers' eyes lit up, "Can you show me?"

"I just want you to give me advice!" After nodding, Guo Shouyun handed over the speech he had written in his free time in New York.

"Search, the gateway to the Internet!"

After reading the title, after a quick glance at the content that followed, "The content is more refined than when you were in Hong Kong." ”

"Concepts such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality are still too advanced for the current level of technology. It's okay to mention it once in a while. If you talk too much, you will really be regarded as a lie. On the contrary, the concepts of Internet search, community, and e-commerce are more suitable for popularization. ”

Lawrence Summers nodded, and then smiled: "By the way, build momentum for your Google, and fortunately, when it goes public, the stock price will rise higher!"

"Lawrence, I can't hide anything from you. But that's just a side benefit. My real goal is more to make the best universities in the world produce more talents who are interested in the Internet. This will be of great benefit to us and to the future of the entire Internet industry. ”

After nodding his head clearly, "How about the speech tomorrow afternoon?"

"I don't have a problem!"

"I'll have someone arrange it later. After a pause, "I heard that the Ministry of Commerce approved Anping's acquisition of Unocal. … Bruce, congratulations!"

"Thank you. But thank you for your help. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do so well. ”

Lawrence waved his hand, "I just played some supporting role. It was the Roosevelt family that really played a decisive role. I have to say that your choice to marry the Roosevelt family is a very correct decision. Not only this acquisition, but also many of your companies will have a lot less difficulties in expanding in the future. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded in agreement, "But my father-in-law's appetite is not small at all." It wasn't easy to deal with him. ”

"Understandable. But there are pros and cons to everything. The least the benefits of marriage will outweigh the disadvantages for you, and that's enough. Moreover, you're just 23 years old, and time is in your favor!"

"That's probably my biggest advantage!"

"It's also your most useful advantage, and there's nothing more useful than time. ”

After a brief conversation, Lawrence Summers took his leave.

Looking at the quiet campus outside the window, because it was still early, he had the idea of going out for a walk. It's not like he hasn't been to Harvard. But that was many years ago. As for Guo Shouyun, who is a reborn, it is the first time for him to go to this prestigious world-renowned university.

Considering that Hua Lei's burly physique was too conspicuous, he only took Deng Feng with him, and after leaving Wu Xiaojing and Wang Jue behind, the two of them walked out of the residence arranged by Harvard.

As a prestigious university with a history of nearly 400 years, every building here reveals the vicissitudes of humanity and history, and the classical temperament. During the walk, the students who were in their prime and were full of spirit made new shoots grow in this vicissitudes of life, which made them look vibrant and extraordinarily energetic!

Walking aimlessly, everything around him made Guo Shouyun, who had been away from school for many years, feel a trace of kindness and nostalgia.

People are social animals, so even if they are subconscious, they will go to places with a lot of people. The same goes for Guo Shouyun. Before he knew it, he followed the flow of people to an outdoor basketball court. Look at the figures running and jumping outside, and the cheering crowd around them. Curious, he also walked in from the door next to him.

The moment I stepped on the basketball court, I felt a wave of passion. Sports are the most blood-pumping thing!

What especially surprised Guo Shouyun was that the matchup on the field was an Asian with yellow skin like him, and a black and white 'international team'.

Look at the scoreboard next to it, one side says Harvard University Chinese basketball team, and the other side says Harvard University German basketball team. The score of the two sides was 43:40, and the Huaxia team led by three points. However, a three-point gap is difficult to determine the real win or loss for just over half of the game.

Standing aside and watching for a while, Guo Shouyun shook his head secretly. The level of these two teams is not very good, but at best it is the level of the NCAA fish belly team players. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already very good.

He stood by and watched for a while. Except for the occasional noisy cheering sound around him, he is also comfortable.

"Ahh

The sudden screams interrupted the fiery atmosphere of the scene. Guo Shouyun looked intently and saw a thin boy wearing the No. 3 jersey falling to the ground holding his ankles.

"Liangzi, how are you?"

"TMD, you did it on purpose!"

A tall man wearing the No. 11 jersey and playing center grabbed the jersey of the white center next to him and angrily asked.

"Notice your attitude, he stepped on my instep when he was grabbing a rebound and falling. ”

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the referee in charge of the game hurriedly rushed over. The team members on both sides, who were finally pushing and shoving together, hurriedly beckoned the school doctor on the side, sprayed some ethyl chloride spray on the injured person, did temporary anesthesia and cooling, and carried the injured person to the school hospital. Of course, this game, which has been played for almost three quarters, has to be temporarily suspended.

"What to do, Liang Zi is our best point guard, without him on the court to control the overall situation, we will not only lose our rhythm, but also lose a critical moment of attack. ”

Qin Yu, who was wearing the No. 8 jersey, said anxiously while wiping his sweat.

"It's really not okay to let Zhao Rong go, except for Liang Zi, we only have him as a point guard here!"

Shao Xiaojun, who played the big forward, spoke.

"Don't, my basketball skills are too good. It's okay to make up the numbers for you, but if you really play, it will only hold you back. ”

Zhao Rong, who was wearing glasses and looked like Sven, hurriedly shook his head.

"Lao Zhao, your eyebrows are burning, are you still shrinking back?" Shao Xiaojun hated that iron could not become a steel road.

"Yes, if we lose this basketball game, we will give up the venue of the Harvard Chinese Club to the Germans. That is what our predecessors of Chinese students have worked hard to win back, and if it is lost in our hands, it will be too embarrassing. ”

"That's right. If we really lose the venue, we won't be able to lift our heads at Harvard. ”

"But...!"

"Okay, don't embarrass Lao Zhao. His basketball level is really not good. Huang Zhipei, who was wearing the No. 11 jersey and playing center, turned his head after speaking, "Lao Lin, if you are a point guard, let Zhu Lin play a scoring guard for you, although his level is not as good as yours." But it's definitely better than letting Lao Zhao play point guard. ”

Lin Jun frowned slightly, "I play point guard, and it's okay to score, but controlling the rhythm and organizing the offense is too far away." ”

"Now we don't have a better choice!"

Among the Chinese who can come to Harvard University to study, you have to find a few top students, and it is very easy. But if you want to find a few good basketball players, you can only pull generals among the short ones, purely by luck.

"If you don't mind, maybe I can give it a try!"

The clear voice made everyone who was frowning subconsciously turn their heads to look over.
