Chapter 121: Two Hundred and Five (Wednesday's Second Update!) )
Subtitle of this chapter: A wave has just flattened, and a wave has risen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although there was nothing "new" about Yuan Yanqi's words, listening to the ears of everyone present, it only made these Yankees feel a flow of people in their hearts...... Well, heat flow.
Wow, this Chinese is really comfortable to listen to, making people ironing, making people feel very comfortable, this person is about to float. Even his yellow face and Mimi's eyes look so cute.
This is the difference between the ancestors of foreign slaves and foreign slaves, more precisely, how can the benefits of praising Yankees a hundred years ago be attainable by the foreign slaves who kneel and lick the American imperialism a hundred years later?
Although the current industrial strength of the United States is proud of the world, it is not the American imperialist in a hundred years after all.
At that time, the U.S. imperialism did show some decline and decline, but since World War II, they have determined the status of the big brother of the free world, and they are lucky to kill the biggest opponent - the red polar bear.
Even a certain big country in the East that made Southeast Asia and even Japan a mess had to bow down and be willing to become a sweatshop. They have repeatedly stated in public that they will rest assured that they will no longer continue to export revolution.
In the post-90s era like Yuan Hongchuan, the international communist movement that has plagued the free world for nearly a century and a half has completely disappeared, and the socialist camp that has fought against the capitalist bloc has long since collapsed, not to mention the kneeling thorns in the Middle East and North Africa.
Except for the small actions made by the Arabiya Saint Seiya and the Northern Stick, the US imperialists despise the countries and want to fight but cannot get it.
In addition to hard power, the soft power of the United States has an absolute advantage over the whole world. American education, American values, American lifestyle...... All kinds of "American" are sold all over the world with a variety of literary and artistic works, conquering the minds of people all over the world, making many people feel that they can't be called people if they can't be Americans!
But it's 1920, and the Yankees are still being treated like hillbillies.
In 1920, our Master Yuan was a charcoal in the snow, and a hundred years later, his disciples and grandchildren were just icing on the cake, and the two could not be compared at all.
At this time, where could the simple Yankee guy stand such a self-made beauty as Yuan Yanqian, he was naturally photographed to the sky by his sycophant.
James Conant, Owen Adams, and even Professor Klein, the more American intellectuals look at this Chinese student, the more they think that he is a teachable talent, and this little guy will definitely be their fellow believers in the future.
“FRESH-SPIRIT-AND-FREE-AIR!” Listen to that, how well it is said!
Did it completely speak the hearts of the American elites. My great America is so fresh and free, how can it be compared to the very decadent and authoritarian old Europe?
In fact, the American intelligentsia had not gotten rid of the inferiority complex of old Europe by this time. Then there is an outsider to praise it, and naturally it is on the channel of these intellectuals.
Plus the huge amount of money he donated, 250,000 US dollars! Vice President Conant's annual salary at this time is less than 2,500 US dollars, and people also have income-generating tasks, so won't they have completed the target for several years at once?
And the board of trustees also made a resolution that the faculty of the university should only pay one-fifth of the gambling debt. So the Klan Klan's Knight and the Jewish professor only had to pay $500, which was not a big deal for the two of them.
Not only the big intellectuals listened to the ironing, but the little intellectuals were even more comfortable.
Just like Yuan Hongchuan, the post-90s generation of a certain big country is going through a process of gradually disenchanting the West, these post-90s generations of the 19th century are also establishing the "American Exception Theory" that "my greater America is the best".
Because of the First World War, these young people had begun to lose their reverence and admiration for old Europe, and began to put themselves at the center of the world, consciously or unconsciously.
At this time, an honest gentleman from the Far East came with a sincere compliment, so what else is there to say...... It's a pity, if you change the white skin, it will be a new generation of conscientious young thinkers who are produced and sold by the United States.
Young people are always more impulsive, kinder and more ...... It's so foolish. They couldn't help but start reflecting.
Heck, this Chinese gentleman didn't force himself to gamble. Besides, he didn't take a penny and donated it all to NYU, and he also forgave half of everyone's debts, no matter how you look at it, this is a kind of gentlemanly virtue.
I can only blame myself for being greedy if I lose so much money, and I really can't blame others!
The big intellectuals appreciated it, the small intellectuals reflected, and the reporters of the major newspapers and tabloids also felt that the trip was worthwhile.
This big news is so special and positive!
Although the protagonist of the news rubbed a little bit of a Chinese, but even if this person is Chinese, it must be the public's appetite.
This Chinese gentleman traveled thousands of miles to the United States. What is the spirit of a foreigner, without self-interested motives, who takes the values of the American people as his own?
This is an international ...... Well, the spirit of liberalism. Every American intellectual has to learn from this spirit.
A person has great and small abilities, but as long as he has this spirit, he is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from low-level tastes, and a person who is beneficial to the American people!
Fortunately, Master Ball can only control our Master Yuan and can't control them, otherwise...... Hum.
Well, the second page of today's evening newspaper is Neo-Yuan's.
Just when everyone was moved by Master Yuan's speech, he continued to say impassionedly: "Thank you, and thank you to NYU, so I decided to forgive some of your debts and donate the money to the university. But I have an immature proposal for how this donation should be used......"
"Personally, I hope that the university can set aside some money from the donation to set up a special award. In every subsequent U.S. election, all of us in NYU have had one chance to vote to estimate the difference in electoral votes. After the ticket is opened, the nearest person or groups will be rewarded. ”
"Reward...... It's $250 per person. ”
This proposal was naturally very wonderful and interesting, so Principal Conant just thought about it for a moment and said happily: "As the vice principal, I also support this Mr. Yuan's proposal." And I don't think the gentlemen of the school board will object to this proposal. ”
As soon as everyone present heard this, they naturally began to applaud enthusiastically. And someone in the crowd shouted:
“250!”
“250!”
“250!”
Hundreds of people clapped rhythmically while shouting the slogan in their mouths. Thus was born NYU, a traditional custom that continues into the 21st century, called the "250 Prize".
Under the infection of this atmosphere, our Master Yuan couldn't help but raise his hand and shout with everyone's rhythm.
“250……”
Hey, why do you always feel a little weird?
By the way, isn't 250 just that......
Just as he was seriously thinking about this question, a team of centaurs rushed into NYU with great momentum.
