Chapter 741: Silk, Tea, Ceramics
That night, the whole of Harvard was shaken by the opening of the Huaxia Cultural Institute, and all the students in the library, laboratory, and teaching building were discussing Su Huai's "Huaxia Academy Motto". Vertices are updated the fastest
"It seems that this Su Huai is not in vain. ”
"The worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world~~ This motto is really amazing!"
"Listen to me with blood. ”
"It's a pity that I didn't protest, or I really wanted to see this legendary Su Sage. ”
"Chinese culture can open a college in our Harvard, it seems that it is really a certain level. ”
"In comparison, the motto of our space academy is weak, what 'may the light of knowledge shine on the earth'...... It's cheesy. ”
Indeed, it is still the Chinese classical Chinese that sounds substantial. ”
"There is still a man who is better than Tolkien's poem......"
"Let's go, let's go and see the stone tablet of Huaxia Academy's motto. ”
At the entrance of Huaxia College, many students gathered unconsciously at night, all in order to pay homage to "the worries of the world first, and the joys of the world after the world." The stele of the ancient academy motto.
The name of the great sage of Su is also engraved on the stone tablet, and in the future, it will stand in this pinnacle of scientific research in the world for thousands of years......
At this time, President Mai was in his office, and then he called and asked about the opening of Huaxia College today.
"Is this academy motto really created by Su Huai on the spot?" Singh was silent for a long time when he heard this.
"It should be, at that time, President Mei, and those Huaxia professors were very surprised, obviously they were not prepared, Su Huai said that it was the old work of the Taishan Poetry Society before, but I saw that he thought about it for a while. ”
After Singh Guan understood what was happening, he sighed: "It seems that this Su Huai is indeed a literary genius, and your school can no longer confront him in literature." ”
Principal Mai also smiled bitterly: "Yes, I underestimated him, I shouldn't use the academy motto to embarrass them, and I will try my best to avoid this summary situation in the future." ”
Singh official said:
"Although Su Huai's literary talent is unparalleled, but Harvard is a comprehensive college based on scientific research, literature has no practical value, in the future, you will find a way to slowly expose the shortcomings of Chinese culture, you can't let them continue to expand their influence. ”
"Well, I understand. Principal Mak had just put down the phone when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.
"Come in."
Seven or eight professors from the agricultural college came in, led by Anzai, and the people behind him were all unkind.
"Principal Mak!"
"How can you let Huaxia Academy mess around?"
"They're going to use agricultural experimental fields too?"
"The Tea Business Research Project has always been something we have been working on. ”
"We're here to report that Huaxia and Cuba are operating in violation of regulations!?"
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Principal Mai's mouth: "Come, sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”
Without the help of him, the principal, Huaxia Academy, as a new college, will inevitably encroach on the resources of other colleges.
In the liberal arts, they may be able to gain a foothold, but in terms of scientific research, the strength of China's backward disciplines is simply not enough to compete with the major old colleges.
Although the opening of Huaxia College today is beautiful, it will take only a few days, and it will have no place to stand.
The next morning.
Su Huai got up, reported on the teaching building, looked at the list of students who signed up, and learned about the current situation of Huaxia College.
Thanks to the Chinese cultural boom during this time, the registration status of silk making, Chinese mythology, classical poetry, and other courses is very good.
All exceeded the average enrollment for Harvard electives.
However, in terms of scientific research projects, the professors have made no achievements, and they seem to think that there are no projects in Chinese culture that can be declared to the World Academy of Sciences and can get scientific research ratings.
Only the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, because of the cooperation with the World Health Organization, applied for a live vaccine research project, which was certified as a third-level scientific research project, and received 1.7 billion yuan in project research funds.
It seems that the Academy of Sciences is still relatively fair, and there is no discrimination in this regard because Chinese medicine is traditional medicine.
It's just that Su Huai was a little disappointed that he wanted to study the development of ceramics, but found that Huaxia College did not have professors in chemical materials, let alone laboratories and equipment.
You must know that ceramics are not as good as traditional Chinese medicine, silk, and traditional industries, and ceramics need more modern scientific knowledge, and this aspect is his Su Huai's shortcoming, which is why he has not touched ceramics.
It seems that for the time being, tea planting can only be used as a breakthrough.
Su Huai thought to himself, in the future, if he wants to recover cultural relics from Sotheby's Group, he is afraid that he still needs a strong commercial force, and he is now Huaxia College, not only to strengthen Huaxia College itself, but also to support the growth of Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and occupy the new European market through the development of various scientific research projects.
Therefore, Su Huai didn't focus on teaching, but just walked around Harvard to understand the situation everywhere first.
He discovered a phenomenon, the popularity of the Huaxia Liberal Arts Department was good, but immediately the department was relatively bleak.
For a standard course of more than 50 people, there are usually only 7 or 8 people who sign up.
Among them, some courses in the Department of Agriculture are the worst, tea planting courses, and even no one has signed up.
Su Huai thought about it carefully, this is not surprising, Harvard's elite pursued pragmatism, they studied courses that could make money, although tea is now very popular in Asia, but almost no one drinks it in Europe and the United States.
Europe and the United States are also the new markets that all tea merchants want to open the most.
In contrast, those who say themselves in Anxi, College of Agriculture, are mainly promoting the most high-end Gyokuro tea, hoping to make it a luxury product, and in the upper class society of Europe and the United States, there is still a part of the audience, but it is favored by some students, and more than a dozen people have signed up.
However, in Su Huai's opinion, this path has gone wrong.
I like to sanctify a thing and give it some cultural attributes to enhance the brand, but in the eyes of the Chinese people, tea is not a cultural commodity, but a kind of daily consumer goods.
Thinking of this, Su Huai returned to the office and found Ren Na, who was holding a bunch of materials and constantly checking the data.
"What happened to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce renting agricultural land in New Europe?" Su Huai snapped his fingers in front of Ren Na.
"Not to mention, the farms of New Europe are reluctant to accept tea planting. Renna looked up and said with some fatigue:
"They said that they had never heard of black tea, and thought that we couldn't buy so much, and hoped that we would get some channel sales contracts first, and now we can only wait for Professor Tian's experimental field to make the first batch of finished products to ......."
"Can't it be shipped from Huaxia?" Su Huai said: They are in the domestic silk base, and there are also some tea plantations.
Renna shook her head and said: "No, the new European government has strict standards for imported food, I'm afraid we want to get the approval, not in the past two years."
We have opened more than 50 branches of Northwest barbecue in New Europe, and the ingredients used can only be local. ”
"I see, then when the first batch of finished tea products comes out, what channels will we use to attract investment?"
Ren Na's big eyes suddenly showed a cunning light, and said, "I heard that the Agricultural College is engaged in the Yuben Tea Project, and a month later, there will be a business promotion. ”
"It's such a pleasant decision, let's find a way to mix it up. Su Huai laughed, but secretly thought in his heart, what excuse did they Huaxia College use to participate in the matter of the Agricultural College?
The two of them were planning, when they suddenly heard Professor Arida's assistant running over and shouting anxiously:
"Teacher Su, go and take a look, something happened to our test field. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The College of Agriculture said that the Cuban personnel had violated the rules and wanted to cancel their qualifications for the experimental fields. ”
Su Huai listened and hurriedly said, "Go and see." ”
This news was not surprising at all, he had already guessed that Anxi would do something, but this was exactly what Su Huai was looking forward to.
If there is a conflict, he will have an excuse to come forward, and he will be able to make trouble to the school, and when the matter is big, his opportunity will come~~
