Chapter 151: Running a School

Subtitle of this chapter: A million words have been written! Since the patients are so supportive, let's let Murong have another million words.

…………………………………………

"Mr. Einstein, Mr. Weizmann, I am personally quite supportive of your idea of establishing a Hebrew university. But ......"

In fact, the main purpose of the two Jews' trip to the United States was ostensibly to raise money for the Hebrew University.

The university was founded in 1918, but it was not until 1925 that it was actually completed, and it became known as the "Harvard of the Middle East". In addition to Einstein, there is also a great scientist on the board of trustees, that is, Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychology.

Of course, this time I came to the United States to improve my financial situation.

"It's just ......

However, President Warren Harding has little interest in this. And even if he was interested, it would be just a few charity balls or a few speeches calling for donations.

Now in the United States, not to mention the Ministry of Education, there is not even an Education Bureau, but there is an education office under the Department of the Interior. Its function is nothing more than to collect educational information from the states.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, it should be the Secretary of State's business to help foreign universities.

Our Master Yuan suddenly interjected a little impolitely: "Mr. President, why don't we let the reporter take a group photo?" ”

"Great idea!" The good old man glanced at him appreciatively, patted his thigh and said, "Quickly invite them to the South Lawn." ”

Then he was the first to stand up with the handle of his chair and said, "Gentlemen, please!" ”

Since the Grand Commander had said so, the others had no choice but to get up and walk outside the house to act as models for the photojournalists.

On the original historical line, these people did have a group photo, and now there is Yuan Yanqian on the photo.

After taking a group photo, then the meeting will be considered a successful one. For Harding, it can be regarded as the friendship of the landlord; For Einstein and Weizmann, although they did not have the support of the President of the United States, they were still admired.

So they said goodbye to Harding and left the White House......

"Mr. Einstein, and Mr. Weizmann and Mr. Yuan. I didn't know if I had the privilege of inviting you to my house for dinner? ”

Needless to say, the person who invited them to dinner was none other than Herbert Clark Hoover.

He didn't say anything during the meeting just now, but it was clear that he still had a lot of respect for the Grand Magus.

The reason is that he is a real science and engineering student.

IN FACT, THE ELITE SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES CAN BE ROUGHLY DIVIDED INTO TWO KINDS: ONE IS THE IVY LEAGUE OF HARVARD, YALE, COLUMBIA, BROWN, CORNELL, ETC., OF COURSE, IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE FIFTIES THAT IVY LEAGURE WAS CALLED; There is also the school of science and technology engineering represented by Stanford and MIT.

The difference between the two is that during the holidays, the former students drive their father's yacht, and the latter students drive their father's tractor.

This statement is naturally a joke, and it is not entirely in line with the actual situation. However, it can still be seen that the origin and learning purpose of the students of these two prestigious schools are different.

Hoover is a typical science and engineering engineer. He lost his father at the age of nine and was adopted by his uncle, whose family was not very good, and he had to work hard to get into Stanford University.

Although he also married a white rich beauty, he only married after becoming an engineer with an annual salary of 20,000 yuan, and Lou Henry, the best girl, could fall in love with him because Hoover was extremely handsome when he was young, and he could be called a true male god with a bad appearance. (Author's note: If you are interested, you can Baidu the photo of the young Hoover, it is really handsome.) οΌ‰

So as an expert in science and engineering, he naturally has a certain understanding and interest in the theory of relativity, anyway, he must be better than Harding, who was a journalist, and Coolidge, who was a lawyer, and it is not surprising that there is such an invitation.

Einstein and Weizmann looked at each other and said in a very regretful tone: "Mr. Hoover, I'm really sorry. It's just that we have already made an appointment with someone in the evening, so we can only say sorry. ”、

They did have to meet with a bunch of Jewish donors in the evening.

"Oh, is that so?" Hoover was also a little disappointed and said, "This is really unfortunate......"

"Coincidence, Mr. Hoover. I'm free at night! Yuan Yanqian on the side was overjoyed when she saw this situation, and immediately said.

Hoover hesitated and said, "Mr. Yuan, what is this......"

Master Yuan didn't wait for him to refuse, and immediately spoke: "Mr. Hoover, I heard that your wife is keen to collect our Cyris porcelain. Then I have exactly a few pieces of porcelain here...... Mrs. Hoover is invited to take a look at it. If she sees it, then I'll send someone to Washington right away. ”

Mrs. Hoover also has a Chinese name, Hu Lu. She was indeed an avid lover of Chinese porcelain and a generous collector, especially the blue and white of the Yuan and Ming dynasties and the pastels of my Qing dynasty. In the 21st century, Hoover's descendants also donated several pieces of the collection to the Kailuan Museum.

There was no way, in order to get on the line with this big man, Yuan Yanqian had to make a temporary cameo appearance as a cultural relics dealer. Naturally, his picture came from the Master Ball.

In fact, he has no psychological burden at all on the sale of cultural relics. If you really want to talk about these things that you can't eat or drink when you're hungry, you might as well exchange them for the favor of the Hoovers.

By the way, why is Master Yuan so polite? That's because Herbert Hoover at this time was very popular at home and abroad.

This guy's life is very much like a plug-in, and in World War I, he did three major things that are famous at home and abroad.

First, after the outbreak of the European War in 1914, Hoover served as chairman of the American Relief Committee in London from 1914 to 1915 in order to help Americans who were penniless and trapped in Europe. The committee has helped 120,000 impoverished Americans return to their home countries.

Second, after the United States entered the war in 1917, he was appointed director of the U.S. Food Administration, and Wilson gave him the authority to manage U.S. grain.

In short, his work was very successful. At that time, the newspapers called the work of this agency "Hooverized", and even American housewives knew that the so-called "Hooverized management" meant implementing the most economical arrangements for family food.

What's more, since then, American agricultural products have successfully occupied the market of old Europe.

Third, after the end of the war in Europe, the head of the Allied powers, Hoover, was appointed director of the Relief and Reconstruction Agency, reporting directly to them to solve the post-war food shortage.

After the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty, official relief organizations ceased their activities, and Hoover established an "unofficial organization", the United States Relief Administration, to continue to provide relief to children and refugees in some European countries, raising $250 million in relief funds.

Hoover's resume made him famous in Europe and the United States as a "philanthropist".

During Hoover's leadership of relief activities in Europe, under the orders of the American government, he vigorously organized the food blockade and armed intervention activities against Soviet Russia, and assisted foreign armed interventionists and the Tsarist White Army.

So Russell, the "modern-day Frotheil," said last year that no revolution in Europe would succeed from then on. Because as long as the United States tightens the grain bag, the European countries will starve to death.

However, the United States Relief Administration (UNRWA) will come to the aid of Soviet Russia in July of this year......

So, Hoover is now a popular fried chicken. After World War I, Hoover received honorary degrees from 85 universities at home and abroad, and 468 medals, prizes, and medals from various organizations at home and abroad. The press called him "America's leading figure."

If Master Yuan hadn't accompanied Einstein over this time, it would have been difficult to see him at leisure.

When Hoover heard him say this, he had no choice but to smile and say, "Mr. Yuan, you are too polite." My wife is also very fond of your "Chocolate Love", and I think Lou will be very happy to have a great writer like you, so it will be seven o'clock tonight. ”

"Yes, Mr. Hoover. I'll be there on time! ”

"Bell...... Clang...... Clang! ”

Meng Xiancheng, who was sitting on the sofa in the rosewood guest room, looked at the chiming clock, and the hour hand was already pointing to eleven o'clock in the morning.

He frowned secretly, originally Yuan Yanqian had invited this old classmate to dinner tonight, and by the way, he would introduce him to Mr. Einstein. But then Master Yuan called him and told him that he was going to have dinner with a big man, so the date had to be canceled.

However, Yuan Yanqian still asked him to come over in the evening, but now it is close to midnight, and the host's family has not come back.

He coughed and said to the female secretary who accompanied him, "Miss Morman, why don't I see that I will go back first." When Neo comes back, you tell him. ”

Miss Morman was about to reply when she heard the lock click. Master Yuan opened the door with his Keke in his arms, and the dog man and woman walked in grinning.

"Bohong, are you here? I'm really sorry. I've been waiting for you. As soon as she entered the door, Yuan Yanqian greeted her old classmates.

Meng Xiancheng looked at Master Yuan, who was wearing a top hat in an evening dress, and then at the jeweled Ms. Brooks beside him, and nodded in his heart, this little Yuan has not changed much, and this widow's disease may not be cured.

After all, Yuan Yanqian is the man who stabbed the president of Huaguo, and his great-nephew and grandson have also inherited the fine traditions of the old Yuan family.

However, Meng Xiancheng shook his head in his heart again, but this little Yuan's ability is really getting bigger and bigger, not only Einstein fell in love with his literary talent, but now he has also caught up with the big capitalists in the United States, senior cabinet officials and ...... Rich.

This educator never dreamed that his old classmate had this ability.

To put it in his heart, he doesn't say he is jealous, he can't even envy it. Because he found that the distance between him and this old classmate was getting bigger and bigger.

He had no choice but to force a laugh and said, "Hong Yan, it's okay." It's just that it's too late......"

"It's only eleven o'clock, what is it late? No, you'll stay here for one night. I'll introduce you to Mr. Einstein tomorrow morning. Master Yuan waved his hand at him and said disapprovingly.

He took off his hat and said, "Bohong, I have something serious to tell you...... Before I do, though, let me introduce you to Ms. Brooks. ”

Everyone greeted each other, and Yuan Yanqian sent his concubine into the bedroom, and took Meng Xiancheng into the study.

"Bohon, do you know who I'm having dinner with tonight?" Master Yuan didn't buy it either, and immediately asked himself, "Herbert Hoover." ”

His tone was indifferent, and it didn't sound like he meant to show off at all. But his old classmates were taken aback.

Meng Xiancheng asked in surprise: "Is that Mr. Hoover who is known as the Buddha of the Wan Dynasty?" ”

"Hoover of Ten Thousand Born Buddhas? Hahaha......" Yuan Yanqian was amused by him, "Okay, well, I will have the opportunity to ask Qi Baishi or Lu Chishui to write a plaque for him in the future, and the words 'Ten Thousand Family Buddha' will be used on it." ”

Meng Xiancheng couldn't help but ask: "Bo Hong, Qi Baishi, I know who it is, and which is Lu Chishui's alias?" ”

"Pickup pickup."

"Master Ball, I know it's wrong."

"Lu Chishui...... Maybe it might be Qi Baishi's junior brother. Actually, I don't remember either. ”

"Let's get down to business." He poured a glass of wine for his old classmate and handed it over, and this time asked in a very proud tone: "Bo Hong, do you know what the Ten Thousand Family Buddha promised me?" Just a hint, it has a lot to do with you, otherwise I wouldn't have called you over. ”

"Could it be that ......," Meng Xiancheng said elegantly when he heard the string song, "he promised you to run a school?" Or do you want to run a school in China? ”

β€œBINGO!”

Who is our Master Yuan?

A master actor who performs at 13 o'clock!

A male god with a charisma value of up to 17!!

The earthly apostle of the prince of lies!!

If he shoots people's ass with full firepower, he can definitely shoot people in Java...... Now it's his father-in-law's house.

Today's dinner he used 120% of his skills to make the Hoovers feel comfortable, climaxing, incisive, and unstoppable......

Don't get me wrong, he really didn't do such a thing as a swinger, he really conquered the couple with his mouth.

This sycophancy not only made Mrs. Hoover immediately regard him as a confidant in porcelain collecting, but also made Mr. Hoover agree in principle to fund and contribute to the establishment of a school in China......

"That's great!" When Meng Xiancheng heard such good news, he also jumped up from the sofa and said, "Hongji, what school is Mr. Hoover going to run?" Is it high school or college? I think it's better to set up a teacher training school! ”

He excitedly circled around the study and said: "Our basic education in China is really poor, and we in China are too short of qualified teachers. We in China need the female teacher you wrote about in "The Rural Teacher" now! ”

He waved his arms and said longingly: "Only such a teacher can popularize the light of modern civilization to the whole of China!" ”

"What is this...... Yuan Yanqian sighed, "Bo Hong, don't be so excited to listen to what I have to say." ”

"Actually, I suggested that Mr. Hoover start an engineering technical school......"
