Chapter 121: Crazy Orientation
Feng Yiping went to the school to report this time, which was very grand, and Jin Ling and Hong Haoran, who were about to return to China, were accompanied.
After so many busy days in the United States, they can be considered a vacation!
What's even more lively is that when I came in from the school gate without a school gate, on the Palm Boulevard, which is similar to Hollywood, I just walked for a while, and the two people in the back seat choked.
Hong Haoran, a graduate here, said, "Many universities say that their campuses are open, but only Stanford, not only does not have a gate, but also does not even have a school card."
"The school buildings, contrary to the Forbidden City, are all yellow walls and red roofs, you may not know the designer, but you must have been to another of his well-known works - New York's Central Park, you see, under the blue sky, these buildings, how pleasing to the eye,"
"Look at these woods on the side of the road, among all the universities in the country, our school is the best environment, and you look at the RVs in the woods, all of them are graduates who work in Silicon Valley, and go back to school with alumni in their spare time,"
He has always been very calm, but he will be very excited, but Hong is very happy, and these affectionate words made Jin, a Harvard graduate next to him, very unhappy.
However, classmate Jin is a proud person, and he doesn't have the title of shrew, so he frowned and listened for a long time before he said lightly, "No matter how good it is, it's just the Harvard of the West,"
Harvard and Stanford have always been entangled, and the widely circulated story is that the Stanford couple, in order to commemorate their son who died young, went to visit the president of Harvard, and wanted to donate a library named after their son at Harvard, and sculpted a statue of their son in front of the museum.
As a result, first the secretary was slack, and then the principal was arrogant. He also talked about the $40 million needed to build a university.
Then, the president of Harvard was slapped in the face by the Stanfords.
The old lady said, "It costs $40 million to build a university, and we can still come up with this money."
The old man said. "yes, why don't we build a university?"
They then sold some of their property and built a university named after their son, Leland Stanford II, on a farm of more than 8,000 acres.
In short, it's normal for Harvard graduates to not be used to seeing Stanford graduates showing off.
Hong Haoran's words came to an abrupt end. Feng Yiping didn't look back, knowing that he was angry, because he could clearly hear his heavy breathing.
He quietly touched Huang Jingping's hand, and motioned to her with the camera that filmed herself and the campus landscape, Huang Jingping understood, and quietly pointed the camera at the two in the back seat.
Hong Haoran gasped and glared at Jin Ling, but. There's really no way to argue with that.
Once, Stanford was also another rival across the Bay Area. The University of Berkeley, vying for the title of "Harvard of the West".
In last year's U.S. university rankings, Harvard was second, Stanford was sixth, and none of the top five.
In the minds of American high school students, the ranking of excellent colleges is also HYPSM. That is, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Harvard is still in front.
Another indicator of the university, in terms of donations received, Harvard also far surpasses Stanford. Although it is not as far away as the time difference when it was first built, the gap is still obvious.
Jin Ling calmly looked at the meadow at the end of Palm Avenue and the California redwood, the emblem of Stanford University made of pruned plants in the middle of the meadow, and said lightly, "The wind of freedom blows forever?
The sound of breathing behind him was heavier again.
Well said! Feng Yiping was very unkind looking forward to fighting back, and he must fight back.
Huang Jingping is the same, although she didn't look back, but she held the DV in her hand steadily, so she was afraid that she would miss something.
However, the first moment was still tense and on the verge of eruption, and the next moment, Hong Haoran, who was extremely angry, suddenly calmed down his breathing, and just left a sentence without pain, "Hmph, one day, everyone will say that Harvard is the Stanford of the East,"
At a critical juncture, this buddy, like most Chinese men's choices, also confessed in front of women!
It's a pity! Why is it just like that? He has all thought about it, and he wants to broadcast this part of their conflict at the annual meeting.
"There's no excitement to record, Jingping, your camera can also be redirected," Ms. Jin said.
Hehe, it turns out that she has noticed their small movements a long time ago.
…………
Li Jialun, a Hong Kong international student in charge of the guidance of new students in the business school, looked at the tall compatriot in his early twenties in front of him, and said with some amusement, "Classmate, you are going wrong, this is the business school, and the other undergraduates are over there."
Stanford's business schools are all graduate students, and Li Jialun looks at Feng Yiping like this, so he shouldn't have graduated from his undergraduate program!
Huang Jingping hugged Feng Yiping's hand and said, "We are here to the business school,"
Li Jialun simply didn't want to pay attention to them, it seems that this is another second generation who has spent a lot of time drinking abroad, and what is too much is that he didn't talk about his girlfriend, but he actually took a special person to record this part of the report.
A buddy in a pale green polo shirt next to him suddenly stood up, "Feng?"
"Yes, I'm Feng Yiping,"
"HELLO, CAL, I'M YOUR FRESHMAN GUIDE," POLO HELD OUT.
"Excuse me,"
Li Jialun was a little embarrassed, it turned out that he was the legendary one, the youngest exchange student agreed to by the business school, and he was also a third-year student at Mainland University?
However, he is proud by nature, and in front of so many people, it is naturally impossible for him to say words of apology.
Especially Feng Yiping and the four of them, none of them looked at him more, and they had already followed Carl away, and he was really a little embarrassed.
Stanford's New Student Guide (NSO) has a tradition of having old students lead new students, tell stories about the school's famous buildings, and introduce students to the school's traditions and history.
However, this Carl is obviously not a dutiful guy, and asked Feng Yiping, "What club do you like?"
Feng Yiping shook his head, if he was really given a choice, he would be very willing to go to the cheerleading team, the reason, you know!
However, a pure man like him obviously can't get in.
For the rest, forget it, there's that Pacific Time.
So, when the lively club recruited new people, Carl didn't take him there.
looked at the people who followed Feng Yiping, the freshman seminar, no need to go, the sports field, there didn't seem to be any exciting games today, or no need to go, and finally, he took them to the central building of the school, the square surrounded by arcades one by one.
"This is the main courtyard, and there will be a celebration that has been a hundred years old these days, so you can come and see the excitement alone," Karl added meaningfully, "It's better to come alone,"
What is it, so mysterious? Feng Yiping looked at Hong Haoran, he smiled and said nothing, as if it was a little interesting?
"With this as the center, the northwest is the medical school and shopping area, the southwest is the golf course, and the offices of the top venture capitalists in China, the south is the undergraduate dormitory and hiking recreation area, the east is the living area of faculty and graduate students, and the northeast is the sports center," regardless of whether Feng Yiping listened to it or not, Carl Wala Wah said a lot, "That's roughly it,"
That's it!
"Thank you," Feng Yiping was about to say goodbye to him and go shopping by himself, such as the library, but Carl grabbed him with interest, "Do you also want to rent an office in the commercial office area in the southwest corner?"
The guy seems to know a lot!
"No, I'm mainly here to learn,"
"You acquired deCarta?" Carl asked suddenly.
No wonder he, the guide, was so unduly responsible, he was concerned about this, "How do you know?"
"I have a neighbor who works at Google, and after he said that he knew about your acquisition, both Page and Brin said that you have a good eye,"
Hehe, it turns out that those two guys are also interested in deCarta, and they are afraid that I will start too fast!
It seems that Mike has made a lot of credit this time, and the two companies that Google likes must be good.
So, why don't you rent an office here?
"Sister Jin, what kind of activities will be held here?" Huang Jingping still remembered what Carl had just said, why did she let Feng Yiping come alone? She was very curious.
"It's not a good thing," Ms. Kim said.
Hearing her say this, Hong Haoran did not defend himself, but walked towards Feng Yiping and them with his hands behind his back a little unnaturally.
"What the hell is going on?" Huang Jingping seems to be more and more coquettish now.
"They say it's called the Full Moon Festival, but in fact, every year when new students enter the school, the graduating seniors can kiss all the freshmen they like."
"Ah, so savage," Huang Jingping was a little unconvinced.
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but it's definitely true," Ms. Kim said.
"Then I must not let Ippei participate in this event,"
In fact, she really thinks a little too much, in the United States, whether it is a man or a woman, the mainstream view is still like those blonde and blue-eyed Chinese, Feng Yiping, unless everyone knows his net worth, otherwise those girls who are about to graduate will not find him.
