Chapter 055: Think long-term

After sending the letter, Li Kangping went to the Bronx construction site.

Liu Shaowen, Li Chong, and Master Huang were all supervising the work, and there was a busy scene on the construction site.

The construction of the Zeus Mahjong Factory in Manhattan was carried out by a New York-based construction company called the Elizabeth Trump Ann Son Company.

The sharp-eyed Li Kangping found that there were still child laborers in the construction team.

Li Kangping pointed to a thin white boy not far away, and he asked, "Brother Shaowen, you see, that child is not yet an adult, right?" ”

Liu Shaowen said with certainty: "I have checked, and the construction workers are all adults. ”

"Really?"

Li Kangping paced to the big boy, who was moving bricks.

"Hey, you, stop." Li Kangping said to the big boy.

The big boy hugged the brick, and he asked suspiciously, "Sorry?" ”

"I'm K.P. Lee, president of Zeus Corporation in Manhattan, boy, I want you to take a break from work, is that okay?" ”

The big boy immediately put down the bricks, and he said politely, "Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

Li Kangping asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Fred."

"What about the last name?"

β€œTrump。”

"Oh, Fred, Trump." Li Kangping looked at Fred carefully, and he asked again: "Fred, how old are you this year?" ”

Fred exclaimed, "18 years old." ”

Li Kangping questioned: "Really, you are really 18 years old? ”

"It's true, Mr. Li, do you need me to show my ID?" Fred looks like a young construction worker, but he has the air of a wealthy familyβ€”at least a middle-class child.

"Do a good job, Fred."

Li Kangping patted Fred on the shoulder, and then left.

So Fred, this kid, is here to experience life on the construction site?

Li Kangping said to Liu Shaowen: "Brother Shaowen's focus on the development of the company, will it affect your doctorate?" ”

Liu Shaowen is studying for a doctorate in economics at Columbia University, and he is very busy while carrying out various businesses of the company.

"I think I worked at Citibank during the day, and I studied at night, although it was hard, but it didn't hurt." Liu Shaowen said.

"It's really hard work, Brother Shaowen."

Li Kangping thanked Brother Shaowen and said to Li Chong: "Brother Chong should familiarize himself with the laws and systems of the United States as soon as possible, so as to share the burden of Brother Shaowen." ”

Li Chong studied for six years at a church school in Guangzhou, which values the study of English, and many courses are taught in English, so Li Chong's English is acceptable.

The construction site is a melting pot, with a mix of fish and dragons, and all kinds of beings.

Li Chong learned a lot on the construction site, and with Liu Shaowen's popularization of science to him, his progress was very fast.

Li Chong came to the United States alone, and his wife and children stayed in China.

Li Kangping asked with concern: "Brother Chong, I hope you can assist me in the United States for a long time, sister-in-law and A Bing, when are you going to take over to the United States?" ”

Li Chong looked at the construction site and said, "When the company is on the right track, we will consider bringing Ah Ping and Ah Bing." ”

Not only is Li Chong's family considered, Li Kangping is also thinking, how should my father and mother arrange it?

Orphans don't have to worry too much.

But I didn't graduate from the orphan college, I have relatives in Guangzhou.

Daddy's arrangement, take a step and take a look, let's think about it in the long run.

Not to mention that Brother Qisun has not yet replied to the letter, but Li Kangping has met a new friend.

On this day, Columbia's Woodgate Laboratory came with a doctor.

The doctor was about six feet tall, had brownish-red hair, and wore glasses. He didn't smile, he looked serious.

"Mr. Mark Phillips, my new TA. Mark's Ph.D. supervisor was Mr. Robert Milligan, Mark is a very good person, especially when it comes to experiments, and Mark can be described as excellent at all. Professor Woodgate was full of compliments, and he introduced Mark to Li Kangping and Allen.

"Hello, Mark."

"Mark, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Kangping, Allen and Mark shake hands and greet each other.

Professor Woodgate's reputation in the American academic community is growing, and many talented people are willing to join Professor Woodgate.

After graduating from his Ph.D., he wanted to work in Columbia's Woodgate Lab, so Milligan wrote a letter of recommendation to Mark, and Milligan was a good friend of Woodgate, so Mark successfully became a teaching assistant at Woodgate.

"Two people are enough to do physics experiments, and we now have four people, and we can try any kind of experiment. Mark, Allen, have you seen the latest issue of Physical Review? Professor Woodgate asked.

Mark and Allen said in unison, "Of course." ”

Professor Woodgate asked, "So you must have seen Lee's Waves of Matter?" ”

"Of course."

"Great, I think we can start experiments where electrons are diffracted by crystals." Professor Woodgate said, "Lee, you wrote only one sentence about this experiment in the paper 'Waves of Matter': we can prove that waves of matter can be proved by experiments in which electrons are diffracted by crystals. You see, we have enough people, so now, Lee, tell us more about your experimental design ideas. ”

This......

Li Kangping's heart tightened, and he secretly said that it was not good.

Li Kangping's original plan was to let Ye Qisun join Columbia's Woodgate team after graduating with a Ph.D., and he hoped that Qisun would join him in experiments on electrons diffracted by crystals.

However, Columbia University was not opened by Li Kangping, and Li Kangping does not have enough status and power at this stage to let whoever wants to come to Columbia.

Woodgate suddenly arranged for Mark, a Ph.D. graduate from Caltech, to report that there were no extra pits in the lab.

To be reasonable, the theory of material waves has a much higher academic status than the experiment of electrons diffracted by crystals.

Can the person who proposes the basic theory be worth the same as the person who proves the basic theory?

Continuing to reason, just relying on the article "Material Wave" is enough for Li Kangping to eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime.

The starting point of eating and drinking spicy food may not be 1922, but before 1930, Li Kangping is likely to be able to eat and drink spicy food and become the world's top physicist.

However, the experiment of electrons diffracted by crystals is also a Nobel Prize-level research achievement.

Li Kangping hopes that Chinese other than him will participate in this experiment.

It is a pity that Li Kangping can't arrange his grandson brother, nor can he arrange several other brothers.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Kangping felt that he should allow himself to obtain a high enough academic status and a large enough academic power as soon as possible.

Only when I get better, really get better, can I really help my brothers, help Chinese scientists, and help my country.

Li Kangping said seriously: "Regarding the experimental design of electrons diffracted by crystals, I conceived it this way......"
