Chapter 80: California

Zhang Chen's previous life and present life were the first time he took the first class cabin of 747. He showed his curiosity in moderation, making himself look like a teenager of his age.

Sure enough, the most beautiful flight attendants were all in the first class, Zhang Chen thought to himself, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The flight attendant was also a little curious when she saw Barbara bring back a Chinese little brother, but she politely asked Zhang Chen what she wanted to drink.

Zhang Chen casually asked for a cup of tea, sat next to Barbara and chatted with her.

Barbara has a son and a daughter, the son is named Doug and the daughter is called Nicole. The daughter got married the year before last, and the son worked in China, and this time Barbara came to China to visit her son.

Barbara likes children very much, and Zhang Chen has knowledge and insight far beyond that of a teenager of this age, no matter what topic Barbara throws, Zhang Chen seems to be able to catch it. Although Zhang Chen did not deliberately express his views on many issues, Barbara was also impressed by the views shown in the words between the words.

Barbara thought for a moment and asked, "Chen, do you want to actually take classes at Stanford for two months?" Stanford has summer programs, but you need to register in advance or have a letter of recommendation. If you want, I can write you a letter of recommendation for you to attend a summer class at Stanford. “

"Great, Barbara, thank you very much, of course I do!" Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, it was good to be able to really take classes in a school like Stanford for two months, even to feel the atmosphere. Moreover, Stanford has a strong entrepreneurial atmosphere, and it is estimated that you can meet many celebrities in later generations.

Barbara smiled and nodded, and wrote a contact information for Zhang Chen. She told Zhang that she would stay in California until the end of June, after which she would go to HSD and if Zhang Chen wanted a letter of recommendation, she would go to her San Francisco office to find her.

Zhang Chen agreed with a smile and carefully put away Barbara's note. I chatted with Barbara for a while, after all, Barbara was old and had a little lack of energy, so she lay down on her flat seat and took a nap.

Zhang Chen greeted the flight attendant and returned to the economy class. As soon as he came back and sat down, Tao Zhiwen asked curiously: "Is that foreigner Barbara Bouceer just now?"

Zhang Chen asked in surprise, "Yes, how do you know?"

Tao Zhiwen said with a hateful expression: "Barbara Boucher is a federal congressman from California. “

Zhang Chen didn't have much research on federal councilors, state legislators, etc., and looked at Tao Zhiwen innocently with blinking eyes.

Tao Zhiwen said patiently: "Federal parliamentarians are equivalent to our country's National People's Congress deputies, but they are much more powerful than National People's Congress deputies, and there are only two in each state. Barbara Boxer is one of two U.S. lawmakers in California. “

Zhang Chen was surprised: "Really, I thought she was just an ordinary old lady in the United States." She's a Democrat?"

Tao Zhiwen nodded and said, "She is also relatively radical in the Democratic Party. Her daughter had just married the brother of First Lady Hillary Clinton the year before. There is news that she may become the deputy whip of the Democratic Party by the end of the year. “

Party whip 。。。。。 Don't you want to be so exciting, so that Zhang Chen suddenly had a rush from country love to card house.

"By the way, what else did she say to you?" Tao Zhiwen's tabloid reporter's nature began to be revealed, and his curiosity was stinging.

Zhang Chen shrugged, "It's nothing, just tell me that you can write me a letter of recommendation from Stanford, so that I can go to Stanford for a summer school." “

Tao Zhiwen was dumbfounded and said: "Stanford recommendation letter? No, this is a matter of human affection." “

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "It's just a letter of recommendation for the summer course, I heard that you can sign up in advance." “

Tao Zhiwen looked at Zhang Chen with the eyes of a fool: "Brother, that's Stanford, even if it's a summer school, if you pay the money, you can go to it, do you believe it or not, you can squeeze your head out for 100,000 dollars? Even if you have a letter of recommendation from Barbara, if you can't pass the interview, it will probably be enough to choke. “

Zhang Chen was surprised: "Is it so exaggerated?"

Tao Zhiwen sneered: "Needless to say, federal congressmen, even if it is a letter of recommendation from the vice president and dignitaries from various countries, Stanford can receive countless letters every year. Of course, the summer school is certainly not so exaggerated, and Barbara's recommendation should work. “

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "It turns out that the United States also talks about nepotism, I thought that the United States was all about business." Find a relationship and recommend it, even if the score is not enough, you can go to a prestigious school. This is much more ruthless than in China, and the children of high-ranking officials in China want to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but they don't dare to be so blatant. “

Tao Zhiwen smiled awkwardly, before he said how good the United States is compared to China. Now let Zhang Chen say this, a little bit of a slap in the face. But looking at Zhang Chen's expression, it didn't look like he was deliberately sarcastic, Tao Zhiwen felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

Tao Zhiwen is a little more interested in Zhang Chen, at first he thought that Zhang Chen was a rich second generation with more ideals, but now it seems that he can be recognized by Barbara, at least it proves that this young man has been recognized by Barbara.

Zhang Chen also felt that Tao Zhiwen began to set up his personal information, so he selectively told Tao Zhiwen something. After all, Tao Zhiwen heard about his situation just now, and said very righteously that Zhang Chen could ask him for help if he encountered difficulties. Moreover, Tao Zhiwen and his wife are in the media circle, maybe they can really use it in the future.

Zhang Chen thought about it for a while, and told Tao Zhiwen that he had several domestic patents in China, and this time he was also going to do patent registration in the United States, and asked Tao Zhiwen if he knew about the situation of patent registration in the United States.

Tao Zhiwen was very interested and asked Zhang Chen what patent it was. Zhang Chen vaguely said that it was about computers, and he was a little interested in computers, so he made some things out.

Tao Zhiwen had interviewed people from the Silicon Valley Office of the Trademark and Patent Office before, and he had a certain understanding of patent registration, so he told Zhang Chen what he knew.

Tao Zhiwen listened to some of Zhang Chen's opinions on computers, and suddenly realized in his heart that Zhang Chen was the kind of precocious genius boy. Tao Zhiwen was not too surprised by the so-called genius boys, because many so-called genius boys pop up in the United States every year, making some kind of invention and so on. At the age of 15, Kevin Mitnick captured the North American Air Defense Command System and the FBI. Wozniak, one of Apple's founders, invented a plus and minus device himself at the age of 12.

Everyone on the plane fell asleep one after another, and the two yawned and leaned back in their chairs to pretend to sleep.

Zhang Chen slept very deeply, and it was not until the vibration of the plane landing that he woke up. When I opened my eyes, there was a blinding sun.

California, I'm coming.
