Chapter 120: Say a Few Words (Wednesday's First Update!) )
Chapter subtitle: Free air is hard to buy!
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Vice Chancellor James Conant to give us a few words!"
Our Master Yuan saw that no one applauded, so he had to put those contracts under his armpit and applaud there alone. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info waited for Mr. Vice Principal to come up, and then he respectfully handed over those shooting contracts to the other party with both hands.
Mr. Vice Chancellor's heart was much softer, and after he took the contract, he said straight to the point: "Students, don't worry. After consultation, the Board of Directors decided to adopt Mr. Yuen's suggestion that only the above amount be charged for each bet...... Half! ”
These guys are worthy of the school board of NYU, which trains Wall Street vampires, and I suggest just take it in for granted. They were good, and they came directly to a fifty percent.
"Master Ball, that's okay, right?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's not the host, you can take it."
Yes, just when he was cornered by John McCall, he had the idea of this "trick": gambling is gambling, and collecting money is collecting money.
Wouldn't it be impossible to generate S value if you don't collect money yourself? It's better to spend money to buy a good reputation.
But when he saw that everyone was so enthusiastic, he felt that he didn't charge any money, which was a little unreachable, and he couldn't help but live up to the enthusiastic support of these white skins. So he came up with the idea of donating a part of the bet to the school.
How could Mr. James Conant and the university watch him and the university watch him stir up trouble?
The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for fame, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me.
I have to say that the capitalist education system is so simple and direct, as long as you are willing to donate money, then you are an uncle. It's like the socialist education system that our Master Yuan has experienced, his family doesn't have to donate money, as long as he relies on his magic capital account to make him easily enter a 211...... It can only be said that reincarnation is risky, and crossing needs to be cautious.
"I-I-I heard you right, right?"
"Really, really, really?"
"This, this, this time won't change again, will it?"
After Yuan Yanqian spoke, the mood of everyone in the venue rose and fell like a roller coaster, so that when they heard such good news, they couldn't believe it for a while.
Mr. Conant had no choice but to say aloud again: "You heard you right, you only need to pay half of the amount you owe, and you can pay it in interest-free installments." ”
"However, it must be paid in full before graduation, otherwise the school will withhold the graduation certificate until the arrears are paid."
If you look at other capitalist universities, you can see that you are withholding your graduation certificate, and you are really good at learning.
These guys are also pitiful enough, and the psychological roller coaster is really not that easy to ride. Fortunately, now that the dust has finally settled, their hearts can finally be put down.
In any case, half is better than the fullest. And half of the $2,500 was only $1,250, which was not a lot for someone who could afford to go to college in 1920, and it could be paid in installments.
The Vice Chancellor continued, "After discussion by the Board of Trustees, in recognition of Mr. Yuan's generosity, it was decided to waive his doctoral tuition fees. And I am honored to recommend him to participate in the doctoral defense directly. ”
"Master ball, the $800 you get rid of should be fine, right?"
"Host, there's really nothing wrong with that. Because the $800 was not paid on the original timeline. ”
That's right, my great-great-uncle and grandfather took the money to buy a Ph.D. from Claydon University, so naturally they won't pay for it.
At this time, the vice principal turned his head to him and said, "Mr. Yuan, do you want to say a few more words to everyone?" ”
In fact, his old man was originally polite, but he didn't expect our Master Yuan to let go of this opportunity to pretend to be forced, so he nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll say a few more words." ”
He took two steps forward, exhaled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen......"
Yuan Yanqian opened his mouth, and the faces of everyone below all turned white, what is this Chinese going to say this time, don't come to such a "heartbeat game" again.
Fortunately, this time this Chinese is going to say: "I have a dream ......"
"Pickup pickup."
Forget about this stubble, the speech is also considered prose.
Our Master Yuan had no choice but to swallow a mouthful of saliva and change his words: "This dream is to come to my greater United States of America, the 'land of freedom, the hometown of warriors' to study. ”
"When I came to the U.S., people often asked me why I came to NYU. And I always answer that the reason I'm here is FRESH ......" (note 1)
YUAN YANQIAN SUBCONSCIOUSLY LOOKED UP AT THE EARLY MORNING SKY IN DAXINXIANG, IT WAS REALLY FRESH ENOUGH, COULD THE COAL ASH JUST BURNED EARLY IN THE MORNING BE FRESH?
Oops, forget it's 1920 and New York City is full of chimneys, snorting out of the atmosphere with suspended solids.
The old man couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Is there any reason for this, why can a foreign slave a hundred years later say "FRESH-AIR" in a dignified manner. And their ancestor Lao Tzu, I can't?
No, I must copy out "Silent Spring" in the future, and don't let me restore the green mountains and green waters of the United States, how can Lao Tzu still have the face to be a foreign slave?
I can't help it, and now I have to say it differently.
“FRESH-SPIRIT-AND-FREE-AIR!”
"Fresh spirit and free air!"
"When I stepped off the cruise ship and left customs three years ago, I was going to take the five-layer mask that I had prepared, but when I breathed my first breath of air in the United States, I threw it away. Because it's useless...... Well, no. (Author's note: The original text is five masks.) )
"The moment I breathed the air of New York City, I felt refreshed and free, it was spiritual refreshment and spiritual freedom!"
"My spirit is no longer foggy, and the depression in my soul is gone."
"Every word I say to you is a pleasure. As I stand here at this moment, I can't help but recall that feeling of freedom. ”
"At NYU, I always felt a breath of fresh air that I am forever grateful for: the breath of free speech."
"Before coming to the United States, I had learned about the Declaration of Independence in history class, but the words, the concepts of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, etc., had no real meaning to me."
"Only in the United States did I understand that the right to express one's opinion is sacred!"
"Hey, Master Ball, why didn't you stop me this time?"
"Host, do you think there's anything new in this speech?"
