"Hello, Mr. Rong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Before Su Li could open his mouth to introduce himself, John had already taken a step forward towards the visitor, arched his hand and smiled: "I have admired the name of Mr. Rong for a long time, and I am really fortunate to be able to see my true face today!" ”

For the Rong Hong in front of him, John has great respect in his heart.

The first Chinese student to come to the United States proposed the Qing government's young children to study in the United States, and made a lot of efforts for the country's strength. The people who left their names in Chinese history are naturally worthy of John's respect.

"Uh......"

Hearing John's words come out of his mouth, Rong Hong, who was about to shake hands with the other party, was suddenly stunned, and his right hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly. opened his mouth wide, his eyes bulged out like frogs, and Rong Hong was like seeing a ghost at this time—not a ghost of a ghost, but a real ghost—and his heart was like 10,000 wild horses galloping by......

"Hehe, Mr. Yung doesn't have to be surprised."

Shrugging his shoulders, John smiled and said, "I lived in Beijing for ten years when I was a child, so I not only can speak Chinese, but also know some Chinese etiquette...... Excuse me, but is what I just said appropriate? ”

"Goo-dong!"

There was a violent surge in the back, and Rong Hong only woke up from the extreme shock at this time.

"Decent, very decent!"

"Oh my God, what the hell!"

Saying different things in his mouth and heart, Rong Hong, who was nearly seventy years old, had a very strange face.

John had lived in China for more than ten years, and of course he had heard about it from Su Li. But seeing a ghost guy make a standard fist salute, and what he said was still a standard Beijing film, how could this not make him dumbfounded?

Maybe......

"This trip to New York can really achieve its goal?"

After a brief shock, Rong Hong's heart suddenly pounded violently.

As a top student at Yale University, Rong Hong is so familiar with the United States that he has never been separated from this country in his life. It is precisely because of this that he understands how huge the potential of this country is, especially in the past ten years, the strength of American industry has become stronger and stronger, and there has been a trend of surpassing the European powers in an all-round way, which also makes Rong Hong more optimistic about this young country.

Sending Chinese children to study abroad, of course, Rong Hong couldn't ask for it.

But just like Su Li and John said before, Rong Hong can't help but doubt John's original intention of doing this "good deed", after all, it is hard to imagine that an American would sponsor Chinese children to study in the United States on such a large scale. But now, when Yung Hong saw John himself and then heard the standard Chinese with his own ears, his doubts couldn't help but loosen......

"Su Li, go make two cups of tea."

After inviting Rong Hong to sit down on the sofa, John first instructed his cook, and then turned his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Rong, I specially asked someone to buy Longjing tea from China, and I usually like to drink it...... In fact, I wasn't interested in coffee or British black tea, and I always liked Chinese tea. Especially on weekends, a pot of poor, a book, if it is really a fairy, it will not be changed! ”

"Uh......"

Rong Hong didn't know how to respond to John's words.

Reason told him that the best response at this time was to follow the words and talk to John about Longjing and Chinese tea culture, which could effectively narrow the distance between each other. But at this time, Rong Hong had not completely recovered from the shock of Fang Cai, and at this time, he heard John's Chinese flavor that was so pure that it could no longer be pure, and he was simply shocked again.

Rong Hong's hesitation made John a little uneasy: "This old man Rong, why is it a little strange?" ”

Born in 1828, Rong Hong was undoubtedly a figure that John had to respect.

After coming to this world, John understood one thing, that is, no matter how great the history books recorded, those celebrities are just one person after all, with talents that ordinary people do not have, and all the shortcomings of ordinary people. So after coming into contact with people like Edison, Morgan and Koch, John already understood. Rong Hong in front of him must be the same, but his love and contribution to China is enough to make John awe-inspired......

A moment later, Su Li came up with two cups of hot tea.

Warmly invited Rong Hong to taste the new tea, and John said with a smile: "Mr. Rong, let's get straight to the point." I know that you came to New York to see me because you were not at ease, and I can understand that. I don't know what you think about screening international students to come to the United States? “

John never thought of doing it himself.

On the one hand, this is because the Chinese of this era have a natural aversion to the "foreign devils". Especially in the next few years, the Boxers would magnify this antipathy to the extreme, and John didn't want to make trouble for himself. For Rong Hong, he has experience in selecting young children to study in the United States, and at the same time has a lot of prestige in China, so it would be perfect if he was willing to help.

Speaking of business, Rong Hong hurriedly put down the cup in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Of course this is a good thing, but ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Rong Hong smiled bitterly: "But the plan that Mr. Su told me is too huge, at least thirty people a year, at least ten years, which means that at least three hundred students will come to the United States to study, which requires millions of dollars of investment, which is ......."

"Money is not an issue."

Waving his hand, John smiled slightly: "I will ask someone to take you to visit the various industries under my name to get a general understanding of the situation, and you will naturally understand whether I have the ability or not!" I think the key now is whether you can trust me with those children, right? ”

“……”

After hearing these words, Rong Hong fell silent.

For foreign devils, Rong Hong doesn't trust him much from the bottom of his heart. He studied in the United States, so he naturally knew very well the attitude of white people, especially white Americans, towards the Chinese. So even though John's attitude was very sincere, but handing over hundreds of children to this stranger, Rong Hong was still a little unsure.

John also knew this very well in his heart, so after a slight pause, he then smiled and said: "I think so, if you can, Mr. Yung can stay in New York for a few more days first, get to know me from all aspects, and then let's talk, how about it?" ”

There is no better place to know a person than his "hometown".

"Huh? This...... Is it appropriate? ”

Rong Hong raised his eyebrows, but a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Haha, what's inappropriate?"

After laughing, John waved his hand and said, "And there is something I have to discuss with you carefully, and I want to ask you for a favor!" ”

"What's the matter?"

Hearing this, he was slightly stunned, and Rong Hong asked with a little surprise.

After taking a deep breath, John smiled faintly: "That's right, I recently bought some land in Shanghai, planning to build a new university, I would like to ask if you are interested in helping to prepare?" ”

It's tiring to write this kind of plot. (To be continued.) )
