Chapter 514: The Drunkard's Intention
"As the discoverer of graphene materials, it is said that Mr. Zhou is likely to win the Nobel Prize in the next few years, what do you think of this rumor?"
"The discovery of graphene is a miracle, and I believe that as an important nanomaterial, graphene will have a profound impact on human life. As for the Nobel Prize, that's not something I need to think about. ”
"What is Mr. Zhou's itinerary for coming to Amsterdam this time? Will we talk to scientists in the Netherlands about the technology of graphene preparation? ”
"I came here at the invitation of Leiden University, University of Amsterdam and other universities to do some interviews on the current development of the electronics industry and nano new materials. As for the communication with scientists in the same industry, there will definitely be, and it will not be limited to the field of graphene. ”
……
Here, Secretary Sun and Director Wang inquired about Zhou Shuo's situation clearly, and complained: "Graphene technology has been discussed a lot in the European scientific community in recent years, and it is a strong contender for the Nobel Prize in Physics in the next few years. I heard that Zhou Shuo would come to the university in Amsterdam to give a lecture, which attracted many scientists and science and technology journalists in this field. As early as yesterday afternoon, the embassy continued to receive inquiries from relevant media. Although it is not a big newspaper, it still has a great influence in the professional field. ”
"The embassy attaches great importance to this matter and feels that it is a good opportunity to promote the level of science and technology in our country." When Secretary Sun said this, he suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, since you came down on a plane, why didn't you walk together?" Now that Zhou Shuo appears in front of reporters alone, the effect of this publicity is much worse! ”
Director Wang glanced at the middle-aged woman lightly, shook his head lightly and said, "There was a little misunderstanding before. Xiao Zhou, if he wants to go by himself, we can't ......"
"You guys!"
Secretary Sun couldn't help but snort and said in annoyance: "Do you know any trivial matters in diplomacy?" All of them are out of the country. How can you be so ignorant of uniting comrades! I will pass this matter back to China, and I'll talk about it when the time comes. Who caused the impact. Maybe who's going to eliminate it. Zhou Shuo is not only a scientist, but also a world-famous entrepreneur, with billions of assets in the United States! In the domestic style, I don't know the convergence point when I go abroad! ”
Director Wang nodded, and said expressionlessly: "What Secretary Sun said is that some of our comrades do have lower requirements for themselves......
Hearing Director Wang's words, the middle-aged woman's face suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't help but shake her figure. Although her temper is not good, it does not mean that she is an idiot. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sends an official document to the Economic and Trade Commission, informing it of its own form. Maybe even the career of your old man will be affected!
"Okay, I'll take you to the hotel first." Secretary Sun couldn't see who was the culprit, but he didn't say much, just turned around and left with a cold face.
Zhou Shuo admits that he has some influence in Europe, but whether he can open up the situation for the work here still needs to be observed. Before that, Secretary Sun should not make too many statements. Since you have missed the opportunity to promote the airport when you leave the airport, it is better to come to Japan.
Out of the corner of Zhou Shuo's eyes, he saw Director Wang and his delegation leave, and then answered a few questions from reporters. Then this was the gentle and polite end of the interview.
Just behind the reporter, the reception staff at Leiden University had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the reporter dispersed, a middle-aged foreigner with a golden beard hurriedly walked over.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm Potter. Miller. Professor of the Department of Chinese and Chinese Culture at Leiden University. The person who came actually greeted Zhou Shuo in standard fluent Mandarin.
"Hello Professor Miller, your Chinese speaking is awesome!" Zhou Shuo was obviously a little surprised. There are professors who understand Chinese at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
"Chinese and Chinese culture are very esoteric studies, and I want to study the history and culture of China, one of the four ancient civilizations. It's not okay to be bad at Chinese. "Potter. Miller shrugged his shoulders and said naturally.
Leiden University has a history of more than 400 years. Ranked 29th in the world, it is one of the most prestigious comprehensive universities in Europe. Not to mention Chinese professors, even there are many people who understand Sanskrit and cuneiform. Invite a Chinese professor to receive Zhou Shuo as a translator, which is only Leiden University so bold to kill chickens with a cattle knife.
Of course, if Zhou Shuo really wins the Nobel Prize one day, he deserves this treatment.
Professor Miller first explained, and then asked, "We have prepared a welcome ceremony for you at Leiden University, does Mr. Zhou plan to go directly to Leiden University, or will he go to the hotel to settle down and rest first?" ”
Zhou Shuo thought for a while and said with a smile: "There is an old Chinese saying that guests are as they are, and I am a guest from afar, so I naturally obey Professor Miller's arrangement." ”
"Okay, I'll go and rest first. Our welcome ceremony could be changed to a dinner party, just in time to invite more professors to attend. ”
"Then it's a problem for Professor Miller."
Miller and Zhou Shuo talked as they walked, leaving Amsterdam Airport and heading in the direction of Leiden University.
The size of the Netherlands is really small, in fact, it is equivalent to the jurisdiction of four or five prefecture-level cities in China. Leiden University is located just outside of Amsterdam and could even be said to be a university town in its own right. With the size of the Netherlands, it is really impossible to say that there is much difference in scale between university towns and cities - anyway, in Zhou Shuo's opinion, it is not big.
After nearly an hour in the car, I saw the University Town of Leiden from afar. The Netherlands has a long history of culture, and the form of the buildings has a unique historical heritage.
Quiet streets, windmill style buildings, old castles and churches with towering bell towers......
All kinds of scenery flashed along the way, which made Zhou Shuo, who had never been to the Netherlands, dizzying. Amsterdam is the largest and most prosperous city in the Netherlands, with a beautiful environment, excellent infrastructure, a relaxed and laid-back life, and most importantly, fresh air and blue skies.
"One day, the embroidery city will become such a beautiful and rich city."
With such an exclamation, Zhou Shuo walked into the campus of Leiden University.
Professor Miller arranged for him to live in a chic four-storey hotel with an old-fashioned and warm interior. Looking out of the lobby window, across the street is a wide river that flows quietly, and there is even a floating open-air restaurant on the embankment and river. Occasionally, a pure white wooden sailboat sails by, and a melodious bell rings are heard.
"It's so beautiful!" Zhou Shuo couldn't help but admire, looked at Miller and said, "Professor Miller, Leiden University is worthy of being a top university in Europe, and the campus scenery alone is already so beautiful, I can't wait to communicate with the scientists here." ”
Professor Miller was obviously very attracted to Zhou Shuo's praise, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, we will arrange for you to give a lecture at Leiden University tomorrow." By the way, are you ready for your presentation? If it is convenient, can you provide a written material about the topic and content of the presentation? ”
"It's all ready, I'll give it to you."
Zhou Shuo put the salute in the hotel room, then opened the suitcase and took out a copy of the text and handed it to Professor Miller. The text was written in English, but fortunately the Dutch were generally able to understand English, and Miller didn't seem to have much of a hard time.
However, although he is a professor in the Department of Chinese and Chinese History, he can understand at least the research direction. After glancing at Zhou Shuo's Wen Jiàn twice, he said in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, if I'm not mistaken, aren't you studying the direction of material physics?" Why is there so much electronics content in this presentation? ”
"Here are some information about me and my company, Pan Han Group." Zhou Shuo smiled, did not directly answer Professor Miller's question, but took out another stack of Wen Jiàn from the suitcase, put it on the table and pointed and said: "I know that the Netherlands is the country where the world-renowned lithography machine manufacturer ASML is located, and I think it has a very high level of technology in optics, cutting-edge machinery manufacturing, and electronics. ”
"I am here not only to exchange research progress in materials physics, but also to exchange ideas with scientists in the field of electronics in the Netherlands, especially chip manufacturing and ...... Wireless communication field. ”
"I'm afraid this is different from what we said before, right?" Professor Miller frowned.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just to trouble Professor Miller, you give this article on the current research progress in the field of electronics of our Panhan Group to these professors of LIACS-" Zhou Shuo pointed to the names marked on the article, and said with a smile: "If these professors are not interested in our research progress, then my speech will definitely not exceed the outline agreed before, what do you think?" ”
"I need to report this to the school. However, if the professors at LIACS can approve of it, there should be no problem. ”
LIACS is the abbreviation of Leiden Institute for Advanced Computer Science, the institution with the highest level of computer and chip technology in the entire Leiden University. It is not easy to be recognized by the professors of LIACS, but Zhou Shuo's expression looks full of confidence.
Professor Miller didn't know how famous Zhou Shuo was in the field of Dutch microelectronics. Although he was invited to the title of materials science expert this time, the invention of graphene preparation technology seems to the outside world to be somewhat lucky. But among the experts in the field of electronics, which Dutch scientist has not heard of the Panhan Group, which has brought Nikon to its knees? Today, ASML, the manufacturer of Dutch lithography machines, is still behind the technology of Panhan Group! (To be continued......)
