Chapter 220: Here it is
Fortunately, the level of science in the world is still relatively low, and it is in a state where even the appearance of the world has not been completely solved -- on the contrary, the day when all the world's mysteries are solved is also the day when all scientists are unemployed.
This is just like the fact that criminals save policemen, lawyers, judges, etc. from unemployment, and perhaps the ideas of utopia, paradise, and the world of harmony are good, but if you think about it, I am afraid that the unemployment rate is also the highest.
Twenty-four hours later, after Zhang Cheng dumped today's high-grade gold sore medicine into the sea near the pier, Dr. Lina and her team arrived at Catherine's beach house.
After the meeting, Lina took out a small gift to Zhang Cheng: "This is a little Canadian specialty." ”
Zhang Cheng looked at Dr. Lina first, first of all, he was a serious white man, with blue eyes, and brown hair was simply tied in a ponytail. The wearing of light-colored dresses seems a little more casual in the North American circle, - excellent - excellent - small - say - more - new - most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - wearing glasses, but it is not a template for a ponytail glasses lady - but the body is not so sexy. In general, Dr. Lina has the feel of a foreign intellectual, but not yet to the level of a mad scientist who abandons the boring feelings of human beings.
After reading the people, Zhang Cheng opened the gift, which was a box of Canadian maple syrup, Zhang Cheng tasted a piece and said: "A fresh and sweet taste of maple trees melted in my mouth." Very nice gift. ”
Dr. Rina began to introduce her team: "Ayako Kojima, 22 years old, graduated from Fisheries High School to Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology and graduated from the Department of Marine Environment. ”
Looks shoulder-length, flat-chested, radish legs, short Lina, eyes of about 1.55 meters, female Ayako Kojima bowed timidly and said, "Please take care of me." ”
Zhang Cheng couldn't help but think of the anime he had watched: No wonder so many Japanese young people are addicted to the second dimension, after all, how to draw the second dimension of women. Those who have a little capital are all rushing to make small movies and become idol stars, and the reality seems to be a little cruel.
Dr. Lina introduced the second Asian in the team: "Kobayashi Sha, 22 years old. He also entered Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology from Nippon Fisheries High School and graduated from the Department of Marine Biology. ”
Kobayashi Sha is also a lady with flat-chested glasses, but her height is five centimeters taller than Ayako Kojima, and her appearance is also two points higher, and her emaciated figure prevents the appearance of radish legs, and she is dressed as formal as Ayako Kojima, white shirt + black skirt + stockings. After being introduced, he also bowed and said, "Please take care of me." ”
Lina finally introduced a foreigner (in the traditional Chinese impression, white people are considered foreigners - the indigenous people of Southeast Asia are monkeys, the Indian ones are Ah San, and the black uncle in Africa is Kunlun Nu): "Sisselena Rasmussen, 25 years old. Like me, I am a master's student at the Department of Marine Environment, Tokyo Fisheries University, and all three of them are my juniors. ”
Sisselina Rasmussen said: "Just call me Sisel. ”
Yes, this nest really adheres to the tradition of the Japanese academic community to help each other and support each other, but this is normal in the academic circle, maybe it is not normal to say that it is not to play like this.
"Hey." Zhang Cheng said hello and saw that although this Sissel has a delicate appearance, he lacks a convex and backward figure like most Nordic girls - riding a horse helps to lift the chest and hips, so the figure of American western girls is generally still super high. The highlight of this Sissel may be his good looks + bright blonde hair.
After the introduction, Zhang Cheng said: "You can call me Zhang or Bruce or anything, I am a relatively simple person." Lina, your annual salary is 300,000 US dollars, a five-year contract, your assistants' salaries are specified by you, and within five years, the fishery will only carry out investment and marine environment and marine life research, and there will be no commercial fishing.
Before signing, we can take a quiz, which is also an interview, and the questions are very simple. The question is, everyone is studying biology, what is it that makes people healthy and young? I need both names for this thing, ancient and modern. ”
Lina held her glasses and thought for a moment and said, "Negative ion, the ancient name is life spirit. The effect is anti-aging, anti-oxidant. Some chronic patients who have been in seashores, lakes, forests, waterfalls, and pastoral areas with dense negative ions for a long time can stop taking medicine -- the elderly in areas with strong negative ions often die of no illness. Similarly, if you are in an industrial area or a large city with insufficient negative ion density for a long time, if the daily intake of negative ions is insufficient, the body will become sub-healthy for a long time. ”
"Very good, the interview is over." Zhang Cheng, who has studied the past and the present, has long felt that what he absorbs and uses may be some kind of negative energy similar to negative ions, which is explained by modern science, and explained by ancient Chinese metaphysical culture, that is, the cathode and yang are born and the anode is yin - the biggest characteristic of Taoism is that Lao Tzu has finished speaking.
In fact, Zhang Cheng thinks that the word life spirit is still a good foreigner, compared to negative energy or something, he is indeed manipulating life energy.
After speaking, Zhang Cheng pointed to the private cruise ship docked by the pier: "Let's go, let's go up and have something to eat." Actually, the house and the boat belong to my friend, and she has been employing a few good cooks on the boat. I borrowed it to play when the boat wasn't out at sea. ”
In fact, Catherine is not only a cook, Catherine has been employing a full service team for her yacht that travels to the sea once a year, and the annual room tax and boat personnel expenses and cruise ship maintenance cost millions of dollars a year. Even if Catherine's money is easy to come by, Zhang Cheng also sighed that this American really has no concept of saving money, and if you have one million, you will enjoy the life of a millionaire, and if you have ten million, you will enjoy the life of a multimillionaire.
Of course, the overwhelming advertising and the ubiquitous salesmen also contributed to this, and it was the Americans who first proposed to sell refrigerators to Eskimos.
Catherine except for going to sea once a year, that is, occasionally flying over for a short stay for two days, the house and the ship are vacant most of the time, as Catherine's good friend (gun) friend Zhang Cheng is naturally not polite, in order to improve the utilization rate here, he will come to live or open a party if he has nothing to do, and Catherine's sister Stephanie, like her, regards this place as half of her home.
When he sat down at the cruise restaurant, Zhang Cheng asked the waiter, "What seafood is there today?" ”
The waiter took out a table and said, "Today there are Arctic shellfish, sea urchins, geoducks, squid, lobsters, king crabs, abalone, ......."
Zhang Cheng and Lina discussed it with Lina and her entourage: "Japanese-style sashimi and sushi, Chinese-style shrimp dumplings and crab roe soup dumplings." ”
The sashimi contested the ratio of knife work and secret sauce, and was served first, along with two bottles of chilled Sacred Blood Dry Red - in American dining culture, wine as a table wine is not considered alcohol, and driving with a few glasses of wine is not considered drunk driving (at least the breathalyzer in the hands of the police is not so sensitive).
There were no knives, forks or chopsticks on the sashimi and sauce, only a basin of lemonade for washing hands for each person, and several people washed their hands and began to grab the sashimi and dip it in the sauce to eat.
The slices of meat are cut transparently and melt in the mouth, full of umami, seafood is to eat a fresh word, but the amount is too small can only be regarded as a side dish - if someone eats a few slices of sashimi and is full, it means that the person is not far from anorexia.
The four guests even complimented the chef on his cooking skills and red wine - in fact, whether they really ate and drank well or not, as long as they didn't spit it out on the spot, they all had to say the same.
Zhang Cheng didn't dare to pack the ticket for the chef's craftsmanship, and Zhang Cheng still had the confidence to accept the praise for his own red wine - the Pope said it was good.
By the time the crystal shrimp dumplings and crab roe soup dumplings came up, the four ladies had already eaten sushi and were almost full, and after eating a few shrimp dumplings and soup dumplings, they praised them politely.
Zhang Cheng swept all the shrimp dumplings and crab roe buns into his stomach, and then asked the waiter to serve the ice basin and cold red wine, and slowly tasted the red wine after the meal. Drinking red wine after a meal is similar to drinking tea, both can relieve oiliness. So what Lin Zexu knew: without Chinese tea, rhubarb foreigners would die of stool. This view is simply wrong. What's even more tragic is that Lin Zexu was already a member of the court who knew foreigners best in that era.
Lina said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full. ”
Sissel: "The last time I ate this was at a temple fair at the Tokyo Summer Festival. ”
Zhang Cheng: "Speaking of temple fairs, it reminds me of the summer festival temple fair, school festival and cherry blossom viewing that I saw in the anime. I'm going to go there when I have time. ”
Kobayashi: "Well, you also know about the school festival and temple fairs in Japan. ”
Zhang Cheng: "It's the information age. Besides, Japan's cultural export is now second only to Hollywood, right? ”
In fact, there are temple fairs in China, and the characteristics are that there are many people, and those with dense phobia must not be able to stand it, and the domestic temple fairs are also a paradise for thieves and swindlers because there are too many people (the violent crime rate of the Chinese is the lowest in the world, and the non-violent crime rate is very high) - it may not leave a good impression.
What about the temple fairs in Japan, there are associations in every place (of course, the associations also collect the protection fees of the stall owners, there is no love for no reason in this world), the thief and the liar were caught by the domestic police station, which is nothing more than public security detention, and the Japanese community caught chopping hands is light, and the ruthless ones are directly poured in the cement blocks and sink into the Pacific Ocean.
It's not that the Japanese community has any sense of justice, but for the community, those thieves and swindlers are indirectly stealing their money -- the turnover of the stall owners on the site is less, and the protection money handed over to the community is naturally less.
After the meal, as always, it was a time for all kinds of jokes, Zhang Cheng told a well-circulated Edison inspirational joke in China: "Edison asked the Chinese assistant to measure the volume of a cesium block, and the Chinese assistant measured and calculated in the end, but did not calculate the volume of the cesium block, Edison was impatient to take the cesium block and dip it in water, and poured the overflowing water from the beaker into the measuring cup to know the volume of the cesium block." He also told the Chinese assistant that the rigid system and backward thinking will never produce great scientists. ”
Lina asked: "It's hard to preserve pure cesium in a natural environment, right......?"
Sissel was just about to say something, but then suddenly remembered something, laughed to himself, and said while laughing: "Cesium and water react to explode...... Hahahaha......"
After Lina and the other three reacted, the joke of this joke is that if Edison played like this, he would immediately become Eddie dead, and the water overflow method would also score the volume. The three of them couldn't help laughing together, and Kobayashi Sha and Kojima Ayako laughed directly until their stomachs hurt.
Xiao Lin Sha smiled and asked, "How did you come up with this paragraph?" ”
Zhang Cheng: "In the place where I used to go to school, Edison was praised too high, and when I grew up, I realized that Edison was just a capitalist -- most of the so-called more than 2,000 inventions and more than 1,000 patents in his life were researched by engineers he hired, and there were only a few of them that made money and were known to the public. Therefore, after the idol is smashed, everyone habitually loves and blacks. ”
Maybe it was because he was instilled with too many inspirational jokes when he was in school, but now Zhang Cheng prefers to watch some unlucky jokes, such as the collapse of the capital chain after the crazy expansion of the Yaohan chain, the collapse of Enron's fraudulent accounts, the collapse of Lehman Brothers Bank despite the high risk of chasing profits, the bankruptcy of Bahrain Bank's improper employment, the collapse of WorldCom Communications' fraudulent accounts, and the collapse of Arthur Andersen, which falsified accounts for WorldCom and Enron (Arthur Andersen was originally one of the five largest international accounting firms. Annual revenue of more than $10 billion).
In fact, what can be learned from the collapse of these large international companies is far more for Zhang Cheng than what can be learned during the establishment and development of these companies. After all, what Zhang Cheng needs is not a self-made entrepreneurial experience, but the experience of avoiding heavy losses, out of vigilance against the Madoff scam, Zhang Cheng now turns a blind eye to all kinds of fanciful investment and financial advice. The Zhuzhi incident and the State Reserve copper incident made Zhang Cheng stay away from the futures market.
Zhang Cheng firmly believes that Ponzi schemes can only deceive those greedy guys, as long as they are not greedy, they will not be fooled, in fact, Greece spent hundreds of millions of dollars to ask Goldman Sachs to make fake accounts, and then joined the European Union and began to borrow money aggressively, and now it owes hundreds of billions of euros of bad debts, in fact, it can be regarded as a national Ponzi scheme.
Anyway, it is the uncle who owes the debt this year, hundreds of billions of euros have been made by Greece, and in the end, it is the eurozone member states that do not save Greece or Greece withdraws from the eurozone. As for the chances that Greece will eventually succeed in repaying its debts through economic reform - haha, you think too much, it's a joke.
The difference is that if Goldman Sachs dares to play like this in the United States, it can only go bankrupt like Arthur Andersen, but the United States is unhappy with the euro zone for a long time, and if the euro is strong, it will inevitably challenge the international status of the dollar -- looking at the United States in the European Union, the younger brother of NATO, Britain has not yet joined the euro zone, and the attitude of the United States towards the euro can be seen.
Everyone went out of the restaurant and chatted for a while under the sun umbrella on the deck of the cruise ship, at which time Lina faxed the contract given by Zhang Cheng to her lawyer to confirm that it was correct and signed. After completing the signing and getting Zhang Cheng's authorization, Lina asked her lawyer to open a contract for each of her three assistants, of which Sissel's annual salary was $100,000, and the annual salary of Kobayashi Sha and Kojima Ayako was $75,000.
Zhang Cheng handed Lina a business card he got from Zhuang Ni: "If you need it in the future, you can buy it from this company under the same conditions." ”
"Understood." Lina, who knew that this was a political transaction, accepted her business card and asked, "In an agreement that a private fishery like this kind of scientific research cannot be commercially fished for five years, few people will invest in it themselves, right?" Half of my previous mentor spent half of his time on pulling investments. ”
Zhang Cheng: "In the future, you will understand that this fishing farm can make a lot of money in the future, and I am very optimistic." ”
Lina: "To convince you, although the environmental protection of the waters near the Farallon Islands is not bad, it can only be said that it is good, and the environment is no longer comparable to before industrial fishing." ”
Zhang Cheng: "The basic needs of living things should be survival, reproduction, and evolution, right? ”
Lina: "That's right. ”
Zhang Cheng passed on the information given to him by his mentor to Lina: "I have a set of gene repair agents here, which has a super good effect on marine creatures, maybe the ocean is the origin of life, anyway, this thing can repair biological genes." My mentor and I thought that this thing would be very attractive to marine life, and as long as the genetic repair agent was continuously poured into the sea, the neighborhood would become a sacred place for marine life to spawn. Naturally, a large number of marine organisms will gather to form an ecosystem. All you have to do is observe, test the water, buy fry to adjust the balance of the ecosystem, and most of the protection of the nearby waters will be done by the California Coast Guard......"
While Zhang Cheng was talking here, there was a burst of short, high-frequency shouts near the cruise ship. Zhang Cheng shouted with a shock in his spirit: "The first batch of guests is here, let's go and have a look." ”
Five people stood on the side of the boat and looked down, and a dozen bottlenose dolphins stuck their heads out and barked in the sea near the pier.
Several women who were applying sunscreen oil on the beach to get a natural sun (that is, they didn't wear anything to avoid being exposed to the sun) also heard the sound and ran naked to the pier to watch the excitement -- usually Zhang Cheng resisted watching dolphins in the aquarium, and in Zhang Cheng's opinion, the dolphins there were just poor insects whose families had been killed and locked up in a small indoor pool and could not return to the sea for the rest of their lives.
Since there is no trade and no killing in this world, Zhang Cheng feels that if everyone can think like himself, that is, do not do to the dolphins what they do not want, then they will naturally protect the dolphins - if you put people in the zoo from an early age, you will use food whip training to ensure that someone goes to see them, as for eating. Person. On the topic of meat, Nevada's Lake Dangna dinner incident is still quite famous in North America and even around the world.
It was funny to see the dolphins, and Ye Zi and Rebecca shouted to Zhang Cheng on the cruise ship: "Throw a beach ball down!" ”
Zhang Cheng turned around and found two colorful beach balls from the pool on the deck of the cruise ship and threw them into the hands of the two women on the pier, took the ball leaves and took the younger Rebecca down from the pier into the water, and then threw the beach balls in his hand towards the waters near the bottlenose dolphins. While the beach ball was still in the air, a half-sized bottlenose dolphin swam up and jumped high to push the beach volleyball back with its head in the air.
Leaf then swam to find the ball, Rebecca tossed her own beach ball as well, and another dolphin swam over to push the ball back.
Zhang Cheng watched the two chicks go down to play and interact with the dolphins, because there has never been a record of dolphins hurting people, and there are quite a lot of dolphins saving people. R1152
