Chapter 37: The Garden of Dreams

An amber Camry sedan drove slowly by, parked at an open-air table and chair in a café, and Juchen got out of the car wearing Ray-Ban's blue gradient aviator sunglasses that Ivanka had bought for him.

Vanessa, the marketing manager of the "old friend" BAT, greeted her warmly, and it was obvious that she was asking for help, and her face was full of flattery.

Juchen smiled and said, "If you are on business, please talk to my lawyer, I am here to drink coffee with an old friend." ”

Vanessa was blocked by her words, and felt very uncomfortable, but she was an old man, and asked the other party to relax her vigilance first, and then Xu Tuzhi later.

She smiled professionally: "Big professor, it's amazing now, how does it feel to be a professor at the best university in New York?"

Ju Chen: "It's over, there's still an Ivy League in New York, don't forget, Cornell." ”

Vanessa: "Forget it, Cornell only has a pharmacy school in Manhattan, and the main campus is 200 miles from downtown. Columbia University's main campus is very close to Central Park and Broadway, which is the real university of New York. A literate person like you should go to Broadway and watch a play, right?"

Juchen took off his Ray-Ban sunglasses, played with them casually in his hand, and said, "I may not have your so-called culture, and I don't read any English literature, and I can't understand it." In the English-speaking world, I'm always a foreigner, so I don't stay in a foreign country for too long, and I would love to go back. ”

Vanessa also wanted to show off her "culture", but she didn't expect the other party to look down on it at all, although she didn't say it, but she didn't seem to be interested in drama. Also, people are scientists.

Ju Chen further explained his thoughts: "Drama, in fact, is similar to our Peking Opera, Yue Opera and the like, do you like to watch it? Noisy, very annoying, it is said that the founder of the Republic of China came to SH to record a record, and he was about to record and vomit, and ordinary people are really not used to this tune." I don't know very much, some people say that ancient Chinese music does not conform to modern music theory, and it is really not pleasing to the ear. ”

Vanessa: "Not only have you blackened Peking Opera, but you have also blackened all the guzheng and pipa?"

Ju Chen: "I think it makes sense, is there still a place for ancient Chinese musical instruments in modern musical instruments?"

Vanessa: "It doesn't seem like there's a ......"

Ju Chen: "Still! Occasionally, the guzheng and the like are just condiments, and they will feel good when hunting for curiosity, and guitar, piano, and violin are the king." Of course, I actually hate people who study music, because all geniuses can't play well all at once, you have to practice slowly, and the process of practice is the process of noise generation, and you are more miserable for yourself, and others are even more painful!"

The Aeropress Iced Coffee he ordered was brought to him, and in this lazy afternoon sunshine, he tasted the good taste of total relaxation, and the morning class made him continue to be miserable, and he didn't want to do anything all afternoon, and he talked nonsense to Vanessa to the other side. He didn't know if Vanessa was the mastermind who planned the BAT sneaking away advertisement, and he didn't care, anyway, he was suing BAT, the tobacco giant, and it wasn't a personal grudge with Vanessa.

Vanessa: "Well, what then? You can't have no one to practice your instrument, right? Someone has to pass on the instrument, right?"

Juchen: "I don't know, anyway, what I don't like is what I don't like, just like gardens, when I was young, I thought I liked gardens, and later I found out what lush grass and trees mean." It means that there are a lot of mosquitoes, reptiles, flying insects, noisy frogs, and even snakes.

Not only do I dislike gardens now, but I don't even like street trees, because the fallen leaves keep the cleaners busy, and they also affect traffic, and the lush foliage often obscures the view and lights, causing traffic accidents, and so on. ”

Vanessa: "The professor's perspective is really different, and even the things that everyone aspires to have been denied by you. ”

Ju Chen: "This is the true face, I used to live in a very green community, my mother, do you know how smelly and disgusting those hundred-legged insects are? When you think about it, it's nice to live in New York, a metropolis with a lot of buildings and few trees. ”

Vanessa: "Oh, you like New York?"

Ju Chen laughed: "If all New Yorkers speak Mandarin, then I really like it, but it's a pity...... It's impossible. ”

Vanessa: "Sometimes I really envy you, this time we plan to settle this matter with a lot of money, we may give you 15 million US dollars in compensation, then you can buy the mansion you want, you can tell the designer, not a tree or a grass, happy!"

Ju Chen smiled like an old fox: "We small Chinese supermarket owners like to post a small note with a penalty of ten for stealing. I also like this quote. Our previous contract was $10 million, and the advance payment was 5 million, and you said to take it back, but I didn't say a word, and I returned it to you, and I didn't bother to shoot a commercial, which was quite fun anyway. But you secretly leaked the commercial, and the nature is different, which reminds me of the style of a small supermarket owner. ”

Vanessa was taken aback: "You...... Don't forget that you and your lawyer don't have any evidence, and we decided to settle it as soon as possible to save the face of the big company. ”

Juchen: "15 million...... It's a lot, hehe, if this had been left in the past, I would definitely be tempted, but now it's different, do you know that I developed this product?"

Vanessa: "Oh, I know, I just saw the news yesterday, and the design patent of the 'Bit Hidden Secret Cylinder' is in your hands, and it was dug up by reporters. How?"

Ju Chen: "I sold this product, so there is no shortage of this money, your 15 million, it doesn't matter if I want to or not, but I want to try our little boss's style, stealing a fine of ten, not ten times of 5 million, but ten times of 10 million, I hope my lawyer will be strong." ”

Vanessa shook her head: "100 million dollars, hehe, hehe!"

Ju Chen: "Well, we are in a lawsuit, and you may not suffer losses, because if you really compensate me 100 million US dollars, you think about it, what a sensational effect it will cause, anyway, you normally have no place to promote the brand, right, 100 million US dollars of hype costs...... It's not too outrageous. Maybe your leaders will praise you!"

Vanessa could only roll her eyes.

Speaking of opposing the traditional garden, Juchen couldn't help but think of what a garden without flowers and trees looked like in his eyes, and then thought of the Japanese-style dry landscape. This style of garden is good at using rockery and fake water, not to mention rockery, it is large and small stones, and fake water, mainly with white sand, with a rake carefully combed, from a distance it looks like a landscape painting, and there is a particularly creative, the use of moss as fake water.

However, these are still too "traditional", moss is also a plant, it must not be used, and sand or gravel, maintenance is also a certain trouble, Juchen hates all troubles, it seems that the yard can only be designed as pure floor tiles, simple, timeless.

Vanessa: "Your eyes are rolling around, and what fun comes to mind?"

Ju Chen: "I'm designing a garden that belongs to my own aesthetics, and I think of an interesting idea, do you want to listen to it?"

Vanessa: "Wonderful! Tell me, what does the ideal garden look like in the eyes of scientists? ”

Ju Chen: "I want to build a garden with the true proportions of the solar system, let me give you a guess, if the sun is only the size of an apple, then how far should it be to the farthest planet, Neptune?"

Vanessa: "This ...... I'll guess what, Apple...... 50 meters?"

Juchen "hehehe" smiled and said: "Yes, it's not too wrong, I thought you were also one of the human beings who were misled by primary and secondary school textbooks, but in fact, it was not too far, the distance from the sun to Neptune should be about 300 meters, that is, the elliptical orbit formed by Neptune is about 600 meters in diameter." This is the case where the sun is only 10 centimeters, and you say, if I want to make a garden with real proportions, how much area would I need? ”

Vanessa: "Wow, it's exciting to think about, tell me how big it takes?"

Ju Chen: "Since the proportion is real, then the size of the sun also needs to be real, 10 centimeters is definitely not enough, at least 10 meters in size is needed to be a house, right? That's 100 times the size of an apple, and the diameter of the garden will be ...... 60 km, I want to live in the sun, I need 60 km diameter of land. ”

Vanessa laughed, like a woman. Of course, she thought the answer was ridiculous, who would pay for a 60-kilometer diameter plot of land and then live in a house with a diameter of only 10 meters?

Ju Chen: "You say, how much does it cost to land 60 kilometers in diameter?"

Vanessa: "I don't think most of the cities are that big, haha!"

Juchen checked it with his mobile phone, and the area of the entire New York City was less than 314 square miles, that is, a square with a diameter of less than 10 miles, which was far worse than the "solar system" with a diameter of 60 kilometers.

Ju Chen shook his head: "It seems that it is impossible to buy the land of the entire solar system, but you don't have to do this, you can be flexible, just buy the land above the orbit of the sun and the eight planets, I will calculate." Calculate Neptune first, 60 kilometers in diameter, the circumference is 60 times 3.14, the result is 188.4 kilometers, the orbit covers an area of 10 meters, it needs 1.884 square kilometers, and the orbits of other planets are far away, a total of 3 square kilometers, this is much more reasonable, 3 square kilometers, that is, 4500 acres of land. ”

He searched casually, there is a 960 acres of land, the sale price is only 450,000 US dollars, an average of 0.047 per mu, if you buy 4,500 acres, it is only 2.1 million US dollars, not a big investment. But who wants to sell land according to such strange rules? According to the ring on the elliptical track, poof, that's funny.

Oh, and you can continue to simplify the scheme, taking Neptune's orbit as an example, the period is 165 years, you can cut the ring into 165 parts, and only buy 165 land or houses in or near the orbit, and similar practices can also achieve the purpose of simulating the solar system.

Uranus orbital period: 84 years. Saturn: 30 years. Jupiter: 12 years. Mars: 2 years. The rest of the Earth, Venus, and Mercury are all counted as one year, and the total is 165 + 84 + 30 + 12 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 296.

Only 296 properties need to be purchased to form a "set map" of the solar system. An average of $100,000 for a set of properties, $30 million can be completed to complete the set, this goal is not too far away, just right, in case this BAT lawsuit wins, you can have a set of solar systems.

And then Juchen can live in a different planetary coordinate every day, and there is almost no duplicate for a year! This is the real local tyrant.
