The "Fourth Estate" (the news media) did not disappoint the charter, and in order to find out what they wanted to know most about the road, less than an hour after the statement was published, Georgetown University called to agree to his speech.

This, of course, has a lot to do with Georgetown's passion for politics.

Because its philosophy is to train leaders in various fields, its location in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, makes it an advantageous location, and the university's faculty and students have the opportunity to maintain close contact with political leaders in the United States and the world. Many sons and daughters of foreign envoys to the United States are studying at Georgetown University, which has directly expanded its influence in the world.

There are many celebrities, and many political figures have emerged, such as future US President Bill Clinton, Philippine President Arroyo, and Taiwanese politician Song C-yu, etc. Even in the U.S. Department of State's annual Foreign Affairs exam, Georgetown University has the largest number of students taking the exam.

"Mr. Zhang, you have 90 minutes, 60 minutes to give a speech, 30 minutes to answer questions, including 20 minutes for teachers and students and 10 minutes for journalists. At the same time, please ensure that everything that is said in the pulpit must be true. ”

Among more than 3,000 universities in the United States, Georgetown University is ranked 20th overall in the undergraduate program and is one of the universities with the highest threshold in the United States, with an acceptance rate of only 16.6%, which is even lower than Cornell University and Brown University, which are among the old Ivy League schools, and belong to the camp of top universities with the most fierce competition for admission in the United States. Along with Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Stanford University, etc., it is recognized as the best university in the United States.

At the same time, it is also a private Catholic university with a very different tradition from secular universities.

The style of study is extremely rigorous. The dress code for students is extremely strict. Priests can be found everywhere on campus. In all the lower year dormitories, there is a priest on each floor who serves as a warden, or counselor, and a priest who accompanies the controversial speaker of the reception charter.

"Father Weller, I promise, I will be responsible for everything I say."

Father Weller, the discoverer of the "giant magnetoresistance effect", the largest shareholder of NB Electric, and the founder of NB Laboratories, would really like to invite him to stay at Georgetown University if he is not suspected of endangering US national security.

But you can only think about it. In the face of so many serious allegations, with all the coverage against him, and looking at his relaxed appearance, Fr. Weller could not think of how the upcoming lecture could help his situation.

A member of the student council knocked on the open office door, and the priest, realizing that the time was almost up, drew a cross on his chest and said meaningfully: "Go, may God bless you." ”

The charter bowed slightly, and said thank you sincerely and sincerely. He strode out of the office.

Maybe the speaker is not glamorous, or maybe he is in a hurry. Instead of arranging for him to go to the auditorium where the ceremony was held, the school arranged for him to give the speech on an indoor basketball court.

Whether it is a good name or a bad reputation, he is now a celebrity, the hall is full, and when he looks up, the black pressure is full of people.

Photographers and videographers were placed at the front, some standing, some crouching, behind them were Georgetown University faculty and students, and then behind were photographers and videographers. Reporters from major media outlets across the United States and foreign news organizations in Washington seemed to be coming, sprinting with long guns, one after the other, so that they couldn't find where their BNB News colleagues were standing after scanning the circle.

There was no applause, no boos, not even the host.

He stood at the podium and waited for all the photojournalists to take pictures, glanced back at the background of the podium, and made sure that the university had set up everything according to the prior agreement, and then said in a fluent American English: "Dear priests, teachers and classmates of Georgetown University, as well as friends from the media here, a week ago, I imagined whether I could one day go to space like an astronaut and see the earth on which we live from outside the atmosphere.

I also imagined whether I could one day become the richest man in the world, because space tourism is a big expense. I imagined whether I could become the president of a university, whether I would win the Nobel Prize in Physics, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry or the Nobel Peace Prize in the future, or whether I would receive each of these three prizes once a year for three consecutive years. ”

An ordinary T-shirt on the upper body, a pair of jeans on the lower body, a pair of sneakers on the feet, no suit and leather shoes, looks very casual and sporty. This has surprised the teachers and students, but they didn't expect the opening remarks to be so humorous, and everyone immediately burst into laughter.

The light was too strong, and I only heard laughter but couldn't see people clearly, and when the laughter gradually subsided, the charter changed his words: "There are many dreams, and they are also very ambitious, so many and so big that they may not be able to realize any of them in this life." But the only thing I didn't expect was that I had the privilege of being one of the most talked-about people in the United States this week, if not one of them.

I don't mean to accuse you friends of the press, who are protected by the First Amendment, have full freedom of speech and of the press, and even have the worst laugh every time you go to court with the government. So all I can do is communicate, and all I can do is tell you what you don't know about me, my family, my company, and the lab I work in. ”

The school is not only strict with students, but also with these media reporters in the audience, which is quite a bit of "my territory, I am in charge". No one would risk being kicked out of the meeting and losing a big piece of news by asking one question or another.

The audience is silent, and they can play to their heart's content within an hour, which is not available for questioning in Congress.

Cherishing this opportunity, the charter suddenly raised his right hand and said with great seriousness: "A few minutes ago, Father Weller of the school reminded me that everything I say to you must be true, and even though this is not a hearing or a sacred courtroom, I still swear in good faith that what is said below is the truth and the whole of the facts!" ”

The projector was broadcasting live the hearing of the House of Representatives' "NB Electric Embargo Committee on the Delivery of Embargoed Materials to China" on the half-curtain behind him, and although there was no sound, you could feel how angry Rep. Cox, the chairman of the committee, and several other members of the House of Representatives were in the image.

And he, the largest shareholder of NB Electric Group and the founder of NB Laboratory, swore here. It's kind of funny.

"First of all, me and my family. I've read the news reports these days. With the exception of some speculations such as 'probably', 'maybe' and 'probably', what has been reported is largely true. ”

Picking up the remote control on the podium, he played a slideshow on the other half of the milky white curtain and introduced: "My father, Zhang Yuanchao, this photo was taken in 1976, because the Chinese military did not promote military ranks at that time, so his rank cannot be seen from the photo. But I can tell you that he was a battalion commander at the time. Equivalent to a major in the U.S. Army, it was in fact the highest military position he held in his career.

This is my grandmother, 76 years old this year, a very kind old man, due to the relatively backward medical conditions in China, she suffers from bone hyperplasia and herniated disc has not been effectively treated, and has been bedridden for decades, completely dependent on my mother's care.

Next to her is my mother, this is my eldest sister, this is my second sister. As you know from the newspapers or on TV, one of them is the wife of Mr. Liu Siwei, the chairman of the board of directors of NB Group. One is studying at INSEAD. As for my grandfather, who was mentioned in the report, my whole family didn't see it except for my grandmother.

What you don't know is that before my father's death, China had a huge army of more than 4 million troops. There are at least 8,000 or more battalion-level officers like my father in China. The station was more than 380 kilometers away from home, the salary was negligible, and I died at such a young age that I had to drop out of school at 15 to sell cigarettes to support my whole family......"

Major officers, and as many as more than 8,000 of them, even died in battle so early, which really has nothing to do with "senior".

What's more, many things can be faked, but a photo made by the slide projector can't be faked, the living environment, the living utensils used, the clothes of their whole family, especially the photos of him selling on the street with a wooden box on his back, left a deep impression on everyone.

"I've counted that my dad and I lived together for less than a year, and that was before I was 11 years old. If it weren't for these pictures, I probably wouldn't remember what he looked like. ”

The charter paused, pointed to the pictures of switch and socket panels and patent certificates on the screen, and continued: "I believe many people are familiar with these, they were designed by me when I was 16 years old, and it is precisely because of these very advanced designs at that time that NB Electric won the first pot of gold." Then there are the industrial appliances of NB Electric, the complete set of equipment of NB Electric, and the power transformer of NB transformer......

There's a history to tell, and I would like to thank HSBC, Citibank and Deutsche Bank for their continued support. It can be said that without the loans provided by these best banks in the world, there would be no current NB Electric Group. ”

The implication is very clear, NB Electric has nothing to do with the Chinese government, and is not a so-called "spy company" with a Chinese-funded background.

"And then there's the NB Lab."

While signaling the staff to change the slides, the charter said step by step: "As we all know, NB Electric is a company that has developed by technology, so we have spared no effort in R&D investment, and since 1987, it has received the support and help of eight universities in Hong Kong, including the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the Open University of Hong Kong, and set up its own laboratory, which is the predecessor of Hong Kong NB Laboratory.

Over the past five years, half of the Group's profits have been spent on research and development, including basic research. At the same time, some breakthroughs have been made, such as the discovery of the 'giant magnetoresistive effect', the discovery of 'carbon nanotubes' and so on. At the same time, together with the German Federal Government and the State Government of Berlin, we have funded the establishment of the Berlin NB Laboratory.

It was one of the achievements of the NB laboratory in Berlin that gave me the privilege of working with the American firefighting hero 'Red Adair', under whose direction I helped Kuwait extinguish the oil field fires ignited by the Iraqi army, together with several other famous firefighting companies......"

Using an aircraft engine to extinguish a fire has opened the eyes of the whole world, this incident is so famous, almost everyone in the audience knows it. Thinking of the achievements they have achieved over the years, the reporters spontaneously had a thought, such a company with great development potential. Is it necessary to risk the world's condemnation to send embargoed materials to China?

The show is finally on.

The charter looked sideways at the live hearing on the projector. With a wry smile, he said, "Although I have been doing research all these years. It is not a technical blindness, but because he has not received systematic education, and his research direction is not electronic technology, he has great limitations.

As soon as I heard the news that the U.S. judicial department was going to launch an investigation into NB Electric, I hurried here from St. Petersburg University and, in the name of the largest shareholder of the group, instructed NB Medical, a sub-group of NB Electric, to conduct self-examination and self-correction. However, the Hong Kong government's sudden investigation into the group's headquarters and NB Medical has made the entire operating mechanism chaotic. It wasn't until three hours ago that I received a fax from the NB Medical Technology Department.

The results are ironic, our very creative developers did not use the array processor alleged by the U.S. Congress, the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the International Trade Commission in the medical imaging diagnostic equipment, but creatively used the PC. ”

This news caused an uproar in the venue, and a professor at Georgetown University couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Zhang, you're not kidding, are you?" ”

"I swore just now, and I promise that everything I say is the truth and the whole truth! In addition, NB Medical has sold a total of 23 'Deepeye-200' medical CT machines in Malaysia, the Philippines, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, all of which are in normal use. You can completely take it apart to see if there is an array processor in it? ”

"I came to the U.S. for the first time a few years ago to purchase matrix and lab software for the R&D department. It was a pilgrimage, and in just one month, I witnessed the bright and glorious side of America. And the past week has allowed me to witness the dark and ugly side of America!

My colleagues and I are outraged by the number of serious accusations made against a company and research institution that has made great contributions to science and the environment, and even brutally and brutally violated the most basic human rights of two young scientists, without any evidence!

In my opinion, this is racism!

If Dr. Yangzhi Cai and Dr. Wushou Chen, who discovered the 'carbon nanotubes,' were white and worked for a white scientific institute before accepting offers from the University of California, Berkeley, and Arizona State University, would they have been treated so unfairly? The results are clear. ”

The NB Electric scandal turned into a scandal with the U.S. government, a dramatic change that stunned everyone. The House Select Committee's questioning continues, and Rep. Cox is questioned about how ironic and ironic it looks when Rep. Cox asks Henry Pearce, president of NB Electric Americas.

"I applied for UL certification, and the Food and Drug Administration also conducted relevant tests, and right under their noses, they didn't even think of taking it apart and taking a look?"

"Oh my God, it's the worst joke I've ever heard."

"My God, I can't believe it, do they even know what they're doing?"

……

Faculty and students at Georgetown University were talking, and reporters from major media outlets were busy shifting the battlefield, apparently trying to rush to Congress, the State Department, the Department of Commerce, and the FBI as soon as possible to report on this scandal that would surely surprise everyone.

It was such a shocking reversal that Fr. Weller hurriedly stepped up to the podium, clasped his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, allow me to express my regret for the unfair treatment of your group and your laboratory, especially your two colleagues. With 25 minutes left, can you give the teachers and students a chance to ask questions? ”

"Of course, that's my commitment."

None of the questions he had prepared in advance were needed, so Fr. Weller simply acted as the moderator, pointing to the student with the highest hand and saying, "This student asks a question first, please help me pass the microphone over." ”

"Thank you."

A black college student stood up and asked very curiously, "Mr. Zhang, as we all know, you are an accomplished young scientist, do I know that you have religious beliefs?" ”

This is a question that is too sensitive for all people, but the constitution is prepared to say casually: "I do not believe in any religion, in a personified God, or in the immortality of the soul, but only in the 'God of Spinoza' (i.e., nature)." At the same time, it is believed that believing in the supernatural, especially in God, is not only incompatible with good science. And such a belief is detrimental to the welfare of humanity. ”

The preceding sentence is a quote from Albert Einstein. This is followed by his attitude towards religious beliefs.

The answer was impeccably answered. This is not only because Georgetown University, although it is a Catholic university, does not exclude atheists, and admissions students are treated equally regardless of faith. At the same time, nearly 70 percent of the more than 400 most outstanding scientists in the United States do not believe in God, while almost all members of the National Academy of Sciences do not believe in God, and the proportion of those who believe in God accounts for only about 7%.

"Mr. Zhang, does all your knowledge come from self-study?"

"From which point of view. It's hard to imagine what a person would be able to achieve without a minimum education. Although I dropped out of school very early, I still think that the systematic education before junior high school is very important to me. ”

As soon as the second question was answered, a dramatic scene appeared on the half-curtain of the live hearing, with Rep. Cox, the chairman of the committee, stunned, and several other members of the House of Representatives looking incredulous, while the Justice Department officials who testified at the hearing turned their backs to the camera, confused and did not know who they were calling.

In contrast, Henry Pearce, president of NB Electric Americas, has suddenly become an interrogator from the previous questioner. Slapping the table, he was asking something hoarsely.

To the surprise of Georgetown faculty and students, the charter suddenly said, "Just before coming here." I also received another message from the Department of Basic Studies of NB Labs in Hong Kong, where one of our young mathematicians, Dr. Perelman, has solved a long-standing problem in mathematics – the 'soul conjecture'.

Over the past two decades, a number of people have written lengthy articles analyzing this issue, but only partially proving it. Dr. Perelman made a complete proof that would have surprised everyone – and he only used four pages! ”

The teachers and students of Georgetown University's Department of Mathematics were stunned and scrambled to ask, "Mr. Zhang, are you sure that it has been completely solved?" ”

He pressed the remote control, pointed to the slide projection on the screen, and said with a meaningful smile: "This has been confirmed by nearly 100 mathematicians from the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the Humboldt University of Berlin, the Technical University of Dresden, and the NB Laboratory in Berlin. If the elite of the mathematical community are interested, it can be verified. ”

The achievements of NB Electric and NB Labs stand in stark contrast to the unfounded accusations made by the U.S. government.

Watching the satellite broadcast of BNB News Network, the R&D personnel and company colleagues of Hong Kong NB Laboratory, Berlin NB Laboratory, and Hong Kong Group Headquarters immediately cheered. Old man D, who has been following the development of the situation, also received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the first time.

As a result of the greeting in advance, two local TV stations in Hong Kong also broadcast the whole process.

NB Electric and NB Lab were in a desperate situation, not only turning the situation around in one fell swoop, but also slapping the US justice department in the face. This is undoubtedly a major victory for Hong Kong's business and academic circles in front of the TV set.

President Bush, who was on vacation, realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately demanded that the Department of Justice, the State Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Commerce, the International Trade Commission, and other departments involved in the investigation give explanations on this issue and try their best to reverse the impact.

Yesterday he didn't want to come, but today Henry Pierce didn't want to go, and in front of so many journalists, he roared with great anger: "Mr. Cox, we will be responsible for our actions, and as the chairman of the committee, you will also be responsible for your actions!" The series of allegations you have made, and the series of investigations you have initiated, have caused at least $300 million in losses to our group......"

was used as a gun, not only became the laughing stock of the whole world, but also likely to become a defendant in the future, and Congressman Cox regretted it, eager to eat those lobbyists alive.

"Mr. President, I would like to ...... I...... I think there's something wrong with that......"

"Of course there is a problem, there is no problem, how can you make such a serious accusation? But that's your business, what I need is a result, a result that is satisfactory enough for my group and the NB labs funded by my group. ”

One of the committee members wanted to slip away, but the door was blocked by the swarm of journalists, so he could only turn around and say: "Mr. President, this is not within the competence of the committee, and we should conduct rational consultations on another occasion through other means." ”

Henry Pierce was amused, turned back to the reporters and said, "Gentlemen, have you heard, that Congressman Bloss actually talked about reason, and I very much want to know where the rationality of the committee had gone in the week before that?" ”

"Mr. House Representative, I'm a reporter for Wall Street Japan, can you reveal what the basis for the committee to initiate the investigation, and does this have anything to do with NB Electric's competitors?"

"Rep. Cox, as far as I know, tear down the machine and inspect it is not a hassle, why would you and your committee ignore such an important matter before launching an investigation?"

Henry wasted no time in getting out of the way, and the reporters rushed up, leaving the committee members in a frenzy. Rep. Cox wiped his forehead vigorously, and he couldn't say one, two, three, or four for a long time.

At the same time, Angra, who was far away in Bonn, finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the TV and smiled at the head of the office: "I think our allies are in trouble, and the Constitutional Protection Bureau should be glad, if they move a little faster, the same situation is likely to happen to us." (To be continued......)
