The meeting lasted for an hour, and the conversation was all about hard goods, and Principal Sallins did not use an official tone, but carefully inquired about the people of Sunset Town, speculating on the impact that the school would have after it was established.

He was most impressed by Sunset's rapid development over the past five years, and Elizabeth brought a memo of the town's development, which contained many photos.
Looking at the changes in Sunset Town in one photo, Principal Sallins exclaimed, "It's a miracle!" "It's amazing, Mayor Wang!" "You are a natural leader!"
The one-hour reservation was extended to an hour and a half, and it was just after three o'clock in the afternoon.
This meeting was not a report from Sunset Town to Lincoln University, but a mutual understanding between the two sides, and Wang Bo had a more comprehensive understanding of Lincoln University.
Principal Sallins is also inclined to build a branch school in Sunset Town, not only among the several candidates, Sunset Town is the most sincere and enthusiastic, but also because Wang Bo's Chinese identity has also added points.
The school is the most visited university in New Zealand by Chinese state leaders and has partnered with China's largest dairy company.
During the talks, Principal Sallins personally accompanied them around the campus.
Wang Bo said angrily: "Principal, you are busy with work, let's just take a walk and take a look by ourselves." ”
Principal Sallins laughed, "It's summer vacation, young man, what can I do to keep busy?" Research is not a matter of moments, you are distinguished guests of Lincoln University, and of course I have to be courteous. ”
The school covers a vast area, thousands of hectares, and Wang Bo's plan for the branch of Lincoln University is also very large, which also has thousands of hectares.
He didn't simply want to plan a branch school, but also wanted to subtly attract the main body of Lincoln University to the town in the future.
The school construction is simple and generous, many of the buildings are a century and a half old, full of historical vicissitudes, but the protection is very good, and there will be workers repairing the buildings.
It was getting late, and Principal Sallins asked them to stay here for the night, and there were guest rooms in the school.
Wang Bo refused and said, "Disturb you for a morning, we can't get by, let's have a chance to communicate with you in the future." ”
Principal Sallins smiled, "I'm not polite, Mayor Wang, I sincerely invite you to stay one more night, because there is a little show for you to watch in the evening, and this is also my gift." ”
In this way, Wang Bo is a little looking forward to it, and there is a night show to watch?
Bowen coughed lightly, glanced at Eva and whispered, "With women, this kind of show is not appropriate, right?" ”
Wang Bo was almost frightened by his words: Brother Nima, are you here to tear down the stage for me? Do you think they're preparing a student girl for you? This horse riding is a serious occasion!
Principal Sallins obviously understood what he meant, but he understood, waved his hand and said, "Others may not be of much interest in the show you expected, but I guess Mayor Wang will be very interested." ”
Dinner was not luxurious, it was a simple steak, vegetable salad and fried fish and chicken nuggets.
Eva said, "I guess, Mr. Headmaster, this food is all grown in your own cultivation shed, right?" ”
Principal Sallins nodded, "Yes, that's very correct, these are all species that we have cultivated ourselves, they have all been improved, can they be eaten?" ”
Aturu, who was gobbling it up, was surprised: "You can still breed dragon tip fish on campus?" ”
Every major supermarket in New Zealand sells fresh fish, and the price range is very large, from a few dollars a kilogram to dozens of dollars a kilogram.
In fact, the food of New Zealanders is relatively monotonous, and there are only a handful of fish that they really like to eat, among which the top one is the dragon tip fish.
This fish is not internationally famous, not many people know about it, and even fewer have eaten it.
This is so because the origin of the dragon tip fish is quite small, only in the southern hemisphere, near the coast of New Zealand, the south coast of Australia and the southeastern coast of South America.
In other words, there are no such fish in the northern hemisphere, and only near the South Pole in the southern hemisphere.
The University of Lincoln is located in the inland suburbs of Christchurch and is not connected to the coastline, so Aturu wonders how to breed marine fish in freshwater.
Principal Sallins didn't explain, he said, "Let's eat first, everyone, I'll take you to a place later, and you'll understand." ”
At the dinner table, Battier found a topic to discuss the food culture of various countries, and there were New Zealanders, Maori, Chinese, Ukrainians, Mexicans and British, so this kind of topic was very interesting.
After eating, Principal Sallins found a minibus, and by moonlight, they drove to the northwest of the campus.
To the northwest of the University of Lincoln there is a small lake, which is also a breeding area of the university, where some aquatic animals and fish are studied.
The two were not far apart, that is, a few kilometers, and the car drove quickly, and then there was a person waiting for them at the door, it was Professor Sandra Angus, an acquaintance of Wang Bo and the principal of the new campus.
"I know you've come to Lincoln University, but I'm in a bit of a hurry to leave here in the afternoon, so I'll have to ask Redian to keep you staying here and come to me in the evening." Sandra said in an apologetic tone.
Principal Sallins said, "Sandra, my old fellow, take them to see the gifts we have prepared." ”
The lake area is divided into several different areas by fishing nets, like farmland, and they enter the center of the lake in small boats, and the cool moonlight spills down, and the lake looks like a large crystal mirror.
There was no wind at night, but the surface of the lake was undulating, and countless waves reflected the moonlight, emitting a silver glow.
But when you get closer, you can see that the silver does not come from the surface of the lake, but some fish that are more silvery than the moonlight appear on the surface of the lake.
The fish swam around the boat, and some of them jumped, so that when Professor Sandra turned on the headlights, the fish were revealed.
Most of the fish that jump out of the water are twenty or thirty centimeters long, and they are silvery-white all over, with a black band in the shape of a half moon behind their heads; In addition, when they jump out of the water, it can be seen that their pectoral fins are very long, which is different from ordinary fish.
Seeing this, several voices sounded one after another: "Hey, Longjian Fish!" "No, the dragon tip fish is in the sea, what kind of fish is this?"
Wang Bo understood what was going on, and he said in surprise: "How did you do it?" These dragon's tip fish are adapted to fresh water, aren't they? Can they live in fresh water? ”
"If that's what a gift we're given, that's a great gift." Eva added.
