764 Feelings
In the nineteenth century, the United States was in a period of rapid economic development, and while economic development, it was inevitable to ignore some other things, such as culture, spirituality, and environmental protection.
The world began to pay attention to environmental protection, it was already a matter of the late twentieth century, the United States did not establish the Environmental Protection Agency until 1970, and since then, environmental protection has gradually been paid attention to by mankind.
The Horse Group is undoubtedly ahead of everyone, when the whole United States, including New York City, is desperately developing the economy, the Horse Group has begun to apply a lot of environmental protection concepts when building Newark Bay, ground hardening is only one of them, and more importantly, the greening of the environment has been managed in the later stage.
"You may not believe it, Newark Bay's unprecedented implementation of central heating, burning all the anthracite used in boilers, will not produce smoke to pollute the environment, which means that living in Newark Bay, you don't need to wear a mask in winter, don't worry about dust on the park benches, don't worry about fires caused by the use of fireplaces, you can feel the central heating later, Springfield Institute of Technology's pipes have now been laid." Li Mu was very proud, just like introducing his carefully cultivated daughter.
Li Mu is right, it is now the end of October, and Springfield Institute of Technology has begun to heat up, and they can feel it when they meet Rockefeller.
Springfield Institute of Technology is located on the banks of the Passaïk River near Newark Bay, and from Sunset Street onto College Road, you will see the Polytechnic Gate at the end of the road.
Completely different from the American architecture of this era, the gate of Springfield Institute of Technology is a very Chinese traditional Chinese archway, the name of the college is written in Chinese and English above the archway, and the security guard of Springfield Company and the student representatives of the Institute of Technology are on duty below the archway.
"Springfield Institute of Technology has no exterior walls, when we established this school, we decided to build Springfield Institute of Technology into an open college, here, it is not teachers or security guards who are responsible for managing students, but a student union composed of students, and there are also teachers in the student union, but the suggestions of teachers are for reference only, and it is the students themselves who really make the decision, we want to use this way to exercise the students' management ability and self-discipline, of course, There will be some students who are willing to fall and fail to pass the test, but most of the students are doing well, by the way, in August next year, the first batch of students will graduate, but you don't have to think about it, the Horse Group has booked all the graduates in advance. Li Mu seized every opportunity to publicize, whether it was Rockefeller, J· P. Morgan, or Edward Jeffrey, to be recognized by any of them is a big step forward for Springfield Technic.
Relatively speaking, among the three, Edward Jeffrey is still more sensitive to education, and after noticing that most of the people on campus are Chinese, Edward Jeffrey finally couldn't help but ask: "Why do I rarely see white students, and the students in this school are all Chinese?" ”
This issue is a bit more sensitive, and Rockefeller and J. Brown are a bit more sensitive. P. Morgan knew the answer, but the two of them didn't explain, Li Mu wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start, just at this time, a white student walked in front of Li Mu and a group of them, Li Mu instantly laughed, this is the best explanation.
"Well, I'm sensitive, in fact, even if all the students here are Chinese, I wouldn't be surprised, who wouldn't want to help their compatriots." Edward Jeffrey also laughed, the United States is a country of immigrants, and everyone will have selfish times, and no one will say anything about anyone.
"You know, the vast majority of students here are in the primary education of the Junma affiliated school, at the beginning of the enrollment, their guardians signed an agreement with the Junma Group, the Junma affiliated school will waive their tuition and living expenses, and they will repay the money in installments after graduation, of course, including the interest part, many people can't accept this way, so they would rather give up the opportunity to receive education, and you know, many Chinese are employees of the Junma Group, they have no choice." Li Mu still explained, whether it is useful or not, at least it can make Edward Jeffrey feel that he will not be ignored.
"Then they really missed a good opportunity." J· P. Morgan was moved, just when Li Mu and his gang were standing at the door, hundreds of students had passed in front of them, these students were vigorous, polite, and showed extraordinary confidence and temperament, and they did not forget to say hello to Li Mu when they passed by, even if they did not get a response from Li Mu.
"These students are very good, and I think if they apply for a job at Standard Oil, even if they don't study petroleum, I'll hire them." Rockefeller also sighed, just two years ago, Rockefeller also said that he wanted to invest in an oil university, but somehow there was no follow-up, a few days after my grandmother saw all this in front of her, I don't know if Rockefeller regretted it.
"Let's go, let's go and see the gymnasium, Springfield Institute of Technology has several gymnasiums, there are indoor sports fields, there are multi-sports complexes, and there are indoor swimming pools, which can cater to most of the current sports programs." Li Mu didn't want to stay here to obstruct traffic, so he still had to do business first, and he had time to take his time.
Entering the archway, it is a large square, there is a statue representing the Horse Group in the center of the square, the square is flanked by a garden planted with tall trees, there are cobblestone paths in the garden, the square is directly opposite the main building of the office building, it seems that some event is being held today, on the steps in front of the office building, Franklin, the dean of Springfield Institute of Technology, is taking a group photo with a group of people.
Probably seeing Li Mu from a distance, Franklin left the queue and walked quickly towards Li Mu.
"Allow me to introduce Mr. Franklin Lucius, president of the Springfield Institute of Technology and inventor of the automobile." Li Mu took the initiative to introduce that Rockefeller and they are all celebrities, in New York, no one does not know them, Franklin is not necessarily, this is the sorrow of scientists, this year, the United States, if it can't make achievements, the research on the atomic bomb is also better than selling tea eggs.
"Mr. Lucius, your achievements are admirable." J· P. Morgan is still very friendly, a financier, and very good to everyone.
"Franklin, why didn't you choose my Rockefeller Lab in the first place?" Rockefeller and Franklin are old acquaintances, and when Franklin invited Li Mu to test the car, Rockefeller was also one of the invited guests.
"Hello, Mr. Dean." For Edward Jeffrey, it was clear that scientists were not as important as the deans of polytechnics.
"Dean, the New York City government wants to host a large-scale sporting event in a comprehensive manner, and I recommended to them the infrastructure of Springfield Tech, and if we can, next summer, we will use the summer vacation to borrow the campus of Springfield Tech." Li Mu is simple and direct, the big guys are very busy, and try to talk as little nonsense as possible.
"It's an honor for our college, and allow me to introduce you to Springfield Tech, including you, Riem, my boss, how long has it been since you've been to Polytechnic?" Franklin agreed very happily, and at the same time expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Mu's ignorance.
"I'm not here because I believe you can manage it well, it's a trust in you." Li Mu's face didn't blush, just kidding, if Li Mu bowed down to everything, it would be exhausting sooner or later.
"Okay, thank you for your trust-" Franklin obviously rolled his eyes, he didn't seem to be very grateful for Li Mu's trust, and in retrospect, Franklin still behaved professionally: "Welcome to Springfield Institute of Technology, the best institution of higher learning in the United States and even the world-"
"Wait, isn't the best school in the country Harvard?" Rockefeller found fault and seemed to be unable to see Li Mu proud.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Rockefeller, but Springfield Institute of Technology, when it was founded, didn't treat Harvard as a competitor, and we don't teach theology." Franklin was born at MIT and is Harvard's sworn enemy, and Franklin's mention of Harvard is tantamount to a slap in the face.
Theology in the nineteenth century was an unavoidable subject in almost all schools, and many people were willing to waste their precious youth on learning how to become a qualified priest, with the exception of Springfield Institute of Technology, which did not offer this course here, and the courses at Springfield Institute of Technology were almost entirely practical sciences.
"Polytechnics, it's right not to teach theology." J· P. Morgan interjected, and relatively speaking, everyone present, J. Morgan interjected. P. Morgan's faith was the strongest.
"This way, please, this is our teaching area—" Franklin bypassed the topic, which was not suitable for too much conversation.
The entire Springfield Institute of Technology, covering an area of more than 3.5 square kilometers, is simply the area of a small city, the current Springfield Institute of Technology, with nearly 13,000 students, more than 800 faculty members, the school has a variety of teaching buildings, office buildings, dormitory buildings, gymnasiums, libraries, etc., a total of more than 90 buildings, if these facilities are all put into use, Springfield Institute of Technology can accommodate nearly 30,000 students.
This is a garden-style campus, the design work by the general manager of the horse construction company, is also the company's number one designer Lei personally carried out, Lei in the design of the campus, boldly integrated into the Qing Jiangnan architecture in the common garden style, decoration and choose a large number of sculptures with a distinctive Western style, which makes the Springfield Institute of Technology campus buildings look both the delicacy of the Oriental tradition, and the style of the Western tradition, along the way, there are often small gardens with oriental charm on both sides of the road, and such a small garden, Often there is a Western-style sculpture in the corner.
In fact, it is not a master's work, many of them were made by students at Springfield Institute of Technology themselves, and there is a nameplate underneath the sculpture, which is clearly written.
Such sculptures may not be so collectible, but the sculptures in the school are not for collection, but only to inspire students to have more sense of identity.
Walking into the swimming pool, Rockefeller and they finally felt the legendary collective heating.
New York in October was actually quite cold, and Li Mu and the others had already put on winter clothes, but in the swimming pool, Li Mu and the others actually felt hot, which made Li Mu and them have to take off their windbreakers.
What's even more exaggerated is that in this already quite warm swimming pool, the water in the pool is still steaming.
"The water was all hot spring water, brought in from a nearby hot spring, and the water was so hot that we had to use some cold water to barely use it." Franklin was proud that only Springfield Polytechnic Institute could be so extravagant in New York.
"There are hot springs in New York?" Even Edward Jeffrey didn't know.
"No, you should be burned in a boiler." Li Mu was perfunctory, and he was very perfunctory, who burned a boiler to burn so much water in a swimming pool, and had the money to burn it?
"I really want to go down and feel it." Rockefeller crouched down and reached out to test the temperature of the water, and he was a little eager to try it.
"Then let's take a dip, there's nothing more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring in winter." Li Mu also wanted to soak, and he came here, but it was rare that the water that had just been changed had not yet been officially opened.
Then take a dip, there are changing rooms in the swimming pool, there are brand new cotton swimming trunks, and Rockefeller has a towel on top of his head when he goes into the water, which looks quite funny.
"I think we should have a sports day in the winter, so we can decide now." J· P. Morgan has not forgotten their purpose.
"There are winter sports in winter, this idea can be referred to, and maybe we can also hold winter games in the future." Of course, Li Mu will not forget the Winter Olympics, saying that Americans still like winter sports very much, except for short track speed skating, Americans' bodies are too bulky.
"I think we can decide now, there's no better option than Springfield Technic, and it's just as comfortable to soak in the hot springs in the summer." Edward Jeffrey had fallen in love with Springfield Tech, and what he really thought was that if more people knew about Springfield Tech, it might become one of Edward Jeffrey's achievements.
"Then it's decided, Mr. Principal, do we need to pay for it?" J· P. Morgan agrees that free is good, even if you pay for it.
"No, no, No, Springfield Institute of Technology is willing to cooperate with you in hosting the sports day, and you don't have to pay any fees, but if you are willing to donate generously, of course I will not refuse." Although Franklin didn't want money from death, there was really no reason not to want the money sent to the door.
