It is said that after the concert that night, Teresa Teng left New York and returned to Los Angeles the next day.

But all this has nothing to do with Gu Biao.

He just took his younger brothers to see Lincoln Center and the Met, even if there was no Teresa Teng, he would find an American singer to listen to it.

Because of the excitement of the concert, a group of guys who had no energy to pull up a few days managed to go to bed until 10 o'clock at night, and successfully reversed the jet lag.

The next morning, before everyone else got up, Gu Biao and Xiao Sui had already eaten breakfast energetically, they were used to taking planes, so they had a good rest on the plane, and their energy naturally recovered better than others.

After the meal, they took a taxi to Columbia University - because Gu Biao still had to wear formal clothes, and taking the subway would sweat too much, which would damage the image.

After all, it was the first time to go to Columbia, and I had to ask the management department for news, and it was not good to be kicked out if I was too shabby.

In addition, Gu Biao also had to bring all the documents that could be used. Of course, if you can't use it, try not to use it.

Compared with other Ivy League universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, Columbia's layout style is really unique - the other seven schools, almost all of which can be said to be "garden universities", either have no walls, beautiful greenery, or occupy an extremely luxurious area, and only a building can be seen from afar.

The campus of Columbia University is rigorously laid out, with many buildings, and the majestic main hall with Roman column sculptures, which makes it a virtue with the most G court in the Federation. The entire campus fence is only 200 meters from east to west, and the area is cramped. However, it is also the most in line with the aesthetics and perception of universities in Chinese.

Who let it be built in Manhattan, where every inch of land is at a premium?

Gu Biao inquired a little and found the visitor reception. He was well-dressed, but there was no suspicion.

Asians make up less than 4% of the population in the United States, but because of the yellow race, in the 21st century, the top universities in the United States once approached 20% of the population, five times more than other ethnic groups. Even in the 1980s, 10 percent was fine. Therefore, having an Asian face will not be noticed in college, and everyone is used to it.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can help you with. ”

"Can I find out if there is a Chinese student surnamed Lu in your school. I am his relative on the mainland, and I have been separated for many years. As far as I know, he was still studying at your school in 1978, and I don't know if he has graduated now. ”

"Sorry sir, this is not in accordance with the regulations, you have to provide more information. "The receptionist was polite, but not salty. Top universities are very standardized, and you can't tip them.

"His father's name is Lu Beifang, and he is my uncle. ”

The receptionist still looked at him suspiciously.

"I mean, Uncle of Maternal. Gu Biao explained with difficulty.

Who let the barbarian languages of English have no human sequence, uncles and even uncles and uncles are especially uncles, and the elder men who have come out of the five suits are also called so. He can only emphasize that it is "uncle on the maternal side", that is, "uncle", not a distant relative.

After a lot of words, the other party finally agreed to check it for him according to the nationality of the international student and the emergency contact.

"Sir, there is only one person who fits your description - Lu Guangfu, but he is a freshman in law school, majoring in international business law. Oh, and he was an undergraduate student in finance at the university's business school. The receptionist finally sorted out a useful message.

In American universities, law schools do not have undergraduates, and only recruit from undergraduate graduates in other majors. After recruitment, you will be able to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, which generally takes at least four years, and what you get after you come out is an SJD/DL degree (Juris Doctorate)

Columbia University is the only Ivy League school located in New York and adjacent to Wall Street, so it is famous for its finance department.

It seems that Lu Guangfu is still a top student......

"Thank you, miss. Gu Biao politely said goodbye to the female receptionist.

After leaving the reception, Xiao Sui was amazed: "Your cousin seems to be better at reading than you, and he can actually study finance at Columbia University and study international business law." ”

"That's because he started from a high level, if I had that condition back then...... It's not important to study, it's important to work hard!" Gu Biao was very unconvinced.

Thinking that he still missed the top domestic schools after crossing over, Gu Biao didn't want to talk more about reading.

Achievement is not in academic qualifications!

……

Gu Biao found the dormitory of the law school all the way, and was told that the graduate students majoring in international business law were taking a big class on international relations and were not in the dormitory.

Gu Biao had no choice but to find another class.

As a result, they were still in the corridor, and the two of them were shocked, because there were too many students, and the back of the classroom was already full of people, and they all lined up at the door.

"So many people?!Are all the students so studious?" Xiao Sui secretly said.

Gu Biao also felt strange, but his analysis was more rational: "For students majoring in international business law, the major should be law, and international relations is only a minor elective, how can it be so popular?

It was useless to think about it, Gu Biao observed it a little, and saw a black student standing there at the door of the back wall, so he went over to say hello and heard the news softly.

The reason why blacks are picked is that Gu Biao feels that blacks are more suppressed and it is easier to speak. If you look for a white man, maybe they will ignore him.

"Classmate, why are so many people taking this class? Isn't it a graduate course?"

The black man was startled, looked back, and thought that Gu Biao was the administrator of the school: "I ...... Although I am an undergraduate, I am a major in international relations, and I admire the level of Brzezinski's advisers, so I came to listen. Since he resigned from his position as a professor and became an adviser to the president, the opportunity to return to school for the past three years has been rare. ”

Gu Biao immediately realized that this black guy had misunderstood, and thought that others were going to clear the scene and not let him observe.

But Gu Biao's doubts were also successfully solved in the black guy's self-defense.

It turned out that the person who gave the lecture inside was the national security adviser to the President of the United States.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, before supporting President Carter, was just a scholar, and it was Columbia University that he was a professor of international relations for 15 years, so it is normal for him to appear in Columbia classes now.

In addition to being a professor, he also served David Rockefeller, helping the latter's consortium form a "trilateral committee" to coordinate the distribution of interests between the United States, Benesque and established European consortiums to lobby the president and influence policy.

It can even be said that the reason why President Carter was put on the presidency in 77 was also the driving force behind the operation of the Rockefeller consortium and the Trilateral Commission. A few years later, the consortium was able to mediate across borders to get Ben and Germany to accept the Plaza Accord because of lobbying by this mysterious organization.

After Carter became president, Zbigniew Brzezinski also transformed from a professor of international relations at Columbia University to the president's national security adviser. However, he also retains his status as an honorary professor at Columbia, and occasionally comes back to promote junior students and give public lectures, which can be regarded as a way back for himself to end his term in the future (the president's staff will work for a maximum of eight years, and after that, he will return to the university to exert his spare energy).

In the United States, the national security adviser is already a very senior official in the field of foreign affairs, and it can even be said that he is second only to the secretary of state - to learn from the precedent of the previous session, when Kissinger first visited Premier Zhou in China in 71, he was Nixon's national security adviser.

And it was precisely because of Nixon's visit to China the following year that he made the contribution of "easing Sino-US relations" that Kissinger was promoted to secretary of state in the 72 general election.

It can be said that for a long time, if the president can be re-elected for eight consecutive years, then the national security adviser in the first four years, as long as he does not make any mistakes, will become the secretary of state in the next four years, which is a more customary arrangement in American politics from the 60s to the 80s.

There are still four months to go before the election, because the Iran-Iraq war has not yet broken out, and the United States has not yet responded to the sharp rise in oil prices. Therefore, everyone is not optimistic about Li Gen, who has no political experience, and thinks that although Carter is bad, there is still a lot of hope for re-election.

As a result, almost everyone on Columbia's campus regards Brzezinski as a "quasi-secretary of state," and these graduate students in specific liberal arts majors who have risen through their connections are naturally very skewed and want to get an opportunity for the future secretary of state to ask questions, answer questions, and make an impression.

"It's ridiculous, in another four months, this guy will be pushed down by everyone, and he is still dreaming of being a secretary of state. Gu Biao couldn't help but feel very ironic.

He didn't bother to bother any longer, so he grabbed the black guy just now and casually asked the last question without expectations: "Classmate, do you know 'Lu Guangfu' majoring in international business law?"

The black man glanced Gu Biao up and down: "You are the right person, I have seen Senior Lu at the party of ethnic minorities - na, the penultimate row, the little flat head sitting in the aisle by the window." ”

It seems that this is the advantage of a small university. There are more than 1,000 students in each grade of Columbia University, and there are so many colleges that there are only two or three hundred students in each college and all grades combined.

And the people who are engaged in diplomacy and international relations are social freaks, and it is not surprising that everyone in the house is remembered.

"Thank you very much for having time to treat you to dinner. You can meet so many people that you can hopefully become a good politician in the future. Gu Biao casually responded to the politeness, and then followed the guide and looked out for his cousin.

The black man was friendly: "Thank you, my name is O'Dark Horse, sophomore, which major are you?"

Gu Biao: "You're welcome, my name is Gu Biao, I am Lu Guangfu's cousin, and I came to him from the mainland." ”

Gu Biao observed the situation in the classroom, and then walked through the other door of the classroom to block people when class ended later.

He hadn't rushed to the point of influencing the order of the class, that would be stupid.

Moreover, just as Gu Biao was observing the environment, he was surprised to see a videographer in the corner of the classroom, using a tripod and setting up a video recorder, where he recorded Brzezinski's lectures.

A video recorder, not a camera, that is, a videotape, not film.

This situation is very common in top universities, because there are not many opportunities for universities and dignitaries to give lectures, so try to record the video of the courseware in case you listen to the lecture repeatedly.

After seeing the video recorder, Gu Biao frowned and thought about it.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
