"Ladies and gentlemen. My friend Mr. Albert Einstein is a good man! ”

After saying this, our Master Yuan began to count the seconds in his heart, 10, 9, 8......

Almost ten seconds passed, and the audience was just starting to get a little impatient.

Yuan Yanqi suddenly reverently drew a cross on his chest, and said very solemnly: "So after Mr. Einstein dies, he will definitely be called by the Lord to heaven!" ”

"Hmmm......"

For Christians, this must be a "blessing...... Well, the audience felt that this "blessing" tasted wrong, and this Chinese was not cursing "his friend Albert" to die.

Before everyone could come to their senses, Master Yuan changed his tone of regret and said, "And when he went to heaven, he found that it was actually quite crowded, after all, there were so many devout believers who wanted to go up, so just like a university, he lived in a collective dormitory." ”

"Ah......h

Everyone doesn't understand, is this Chinese telling jokes? But the joke doesn't seem so funny.

This time, Yuan Yanqian said in a brisk tone: "Mr. Einstein found that his dormitory was a four-person room, and when he went, there were already three pious souls living in it. ”

Without giving the crowd time to react, he continued: "The three residents were also very happy to see him coming, because they all recognized their new roommate as a great scientist. ”

"The first guest said, 'Welcome, Mr. Einstein. By the way, I have an IQ of 120. ’”

"My friend Albert listened and said with great appreciation: 'That's great, sir.' We can talk about the theory of relativity together in the future. ’”

"The second one came up and said, 'Hello, Mr. Einstein. By the way, I have an IQ of 100. ’”

Albert was satisfied and said, 'That's good, sir.' Let's talk about math together. ’”

"And then ......"

He started counting seconds again, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

These five seconds made everyone's appetite hang in the upper and lower places,

And just when everyone could not bear it, Yuan Da orator revealed the mystery: "Then he saw me, and as my friend, he naturally said with surprise and joy: 'Neo, I didn't expect us to meet here!'" I didn't think you would come to heaven, but I thought we could ......'"

He turned around and smiled at Einstein, then shouted to the audience: "He thought for a moment and said, 'Neo. Why don't you tell me about tomorrow's stock trend? ’”

“……”

The audience was quiet for a while, but it didn't take long for someone to burst out laughing.

"Ha ......"

The first to laugh out loud was the Grand Magus himself.

"Haha......."

There are several smart people who have quick brains to follow Yuan Yanqian's train of thought.

"Hahaha......"

After all, Princeton University, there were a few people in the room who finally got the joke on the joke.

"Hahahahaha......"

Jokes are like that, as long as one person laughs out loud, then everyone else will laugh whether they understand it or not.

The audience burst into laughter, but only Yuan Yanqian maintained a calm expression.

After waiting for three or four minutes, everyone finally laughed almost enough. Yuan Yanqian frowned exaggeratedly and said dissatisfiedly: "I was naturally very unhappy when I heard this, so I said to him: 'Albert, there is no urgency about stocks. We finally waited for you to come, and finally we got four people together. Then we can ......' now

"I'm playing mahjong!"

"Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

This "chase" once again made the audience laugh even more.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't laugh. Let me tell you, mahjong and the theory of relativity really have something in common. ”

After waiting for another three or four minutes, when the venue was a little quieter, Master Yuan said solemnly: "According to my understanding, general relativity says that the cause of gravity is the curvature of space-time caused by matter and energy in space-time. Then when playing mahjong, the money in everyone's pocket is also bent because of luck and level, and it all goes to the pocket of the player with the best luck and the strongest skill......"

"Friends who have played mahjong know this!"

"Hahaha...... Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

“ELL，ELL，ELL。 I'm talking too much, and my friend Albert doesn't have to go on stage. Yuan Yanqian began to speak his epilogue.

"If, I'm talking about what if, who didn't understand what he said today, then ......"

"Welcome to Princeton Mahjong Club. Now let's welcome my friends......"

"Mr. Albert Einstein!"

"Bang Bang ......"

The audience responded with warm applause. On the one hand, they appreciated his wonderful warm-up speech, and on the other hand, they welcomed the real protagonists of today, the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.

The Grand Magus stepped forward and hugged the Grey Knight for a moment, then stepped up to the podium and said directly, "Ladies, gentlemen. Thank you, my friend Mr. Neo-Yuan, for such a wonderful description of my theory of relativity. So ......"

"I'm a mahjong enthusiast now!"

"Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

"The Relativity Mahjong Club was founded in December 1920 as the Princeton Mahjong Club. Like other mahjong clubs on the East Coast of the United States, this mahjong club was originally a branch of Club 144. The founders were two Chinese students from Princeton University, Wu Fu and Xi Sheng Duan. ”

"In April 1921, Mr. Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist of the twenty-first century, and Mr. Neo Yuan, the greatest promoter in the history of mahjong, became honorary members of the Princeton Mahjong Society. In order to commemorate this event, the president of the Mahjong Club originally wanted to change the name to 'Einstein-Yuan Mahjong Club'. However, in the end, at the insistence of Mr. Yuan, it was renamed Relativity Mahjong Club. ”

Thanks to the addition of the two of them, and the support of John G. Hepburn, President of Princeton University, this small mahjong club, which originally had only a dozen people, has become a large club with more than 500 members in just one month. At the time, it was the second largest cannabis club in the United States after New York Club 144. Later, the Relativity Mahjong Club was also one of the earliest members of the American Mahjong Major League. ”

Since then, mahjong has become the most popular pastime at Princeton University. The 'Relativity Cup' mahjong tournament is held every year in April. This is the top mahjong tournament after the National Four Cannabis Open. ”
