"Returning with honors" -- compared with when Qin Lang was about to leave Philadelphia, he was already a member of the Chemical Society and the Association for the Advancement of Science, and he had the title of visiting professor at some universities, Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology...... Titles that are both enviable and envious are enough to drive many chemists mad – American, European. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In fact, when they were still at Qin Lang's age, twenty-eight years old, many of them were not even qualified to stand on the podium of a university classroom and speak, let alone become professors at a famous first-class university.

And not one university, but many, almost equal to the entire essence of American higher education.

Because of jealousy, many people hate Qin Lang.

However, Qin Lang received more than just a few professorships, the most important title he received was the "father of chemical engineering" - of course, this title was not unanimously recognized. Journalists who are keen to chase breaking news and make news even when there is no news like to refer to Qin Lang, as do young students who lack social experience, while Ivy League professors are more reserved and cautious. As for the wretched creatures who have just become the laughing stock of their peers, how could these angry fellows call their enemies with such a prestigious title?

Although everyone understood that that title would only belong to Qin Lang in the end, and no one could take it away; If someone wanted to do this, before Qin Lang could take action, the American Chemical Society would completely defeat him mercilessly.

It will do so. Undoubtedly, definitely.

"I will compile the presentations into a complete chemical engineering handbook as soon as possible." Qin Lang told Parsons and Hart, "At the same time, they signed a formal legal document authorizing the Chemical Society to publish this handbook around the world." ”

"It is an honor for us to have the Chemical Society responsible for publishing the world's first handbook of chemical engineering." Parsons said happily.

It is, of course, a great honor to publish the world's first handbook of chemical engineering. It represents not only high profits, but also fame and pride in the United States of America. When chemical engineers in every country use this manual, when university professors use this manual to teach, and when students use this manual as a textbook, they will remember not only Qin Lang, but also the American Chemical Society, the American Chemical Society, not other chemical societies, and it has nothing to do with other countries. For any academic institution, as well as for the country, this is more important and far-reaching than profit.

Charles. Parsons was delighted to have written the first glory of the Chemical Society by himself.

Immeasurable glory.

But that's not just the one thing that makes him happy. "Mr. Parsons, Mr. Hart, I have decided that I will donate to the Chemical Society all the royalties from the publication of the Handbook of Chemical Engineering." Qin Lang continued, "I hope to promote the further development of chemical research in the United States." ”

"That's really...... What surprising good news. Parsons and Hart were beaming and delighted. On behalf of all the members of the Board of Directors of the Chemical Society, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you, Mr. Qin. Parsons said, from the heart, without exaggeration.

Qin Lang's statement was completely beyond his expectations, and more importantly, the royalties he donated were very important to the Chemical Society: in order to consolidate the foundation and expand its influence, the Chemical Society has been giving away various journals published by it for free to its members for many years, but this is not a small fee, so the economic situation of the association has always been not good...... It's very tight, but Qin Lang's money can effectively solve this situation.

It can solve all the funding-related problems faced by the association. A wonderful gift to be heart-satisfied.

Although it was clear that the royalty was nothing to a businessman like him, it was just a small matter, but Parsons and Hart still had to thank Qin Lang for his generosity, even if it was just out of politeness. "Thank you again, Mr. Qin."

"You're so polite, Mr. Parsons, Mr. Hart. Since I'm a member of the association, that's what I'm supposed to do. Qin Lang responded, with a modest smile.

Yes, that's what he's supposed to do. Once the state of the Chemical Society is understood, it is easy to obtain its unreserved friendship. This is a very suitable investment, and if necessary, the Chemical Society can solve all chemistry-related problems for him and Elizabeth. No one will ever question him and Elizabeth again.

Qin Lang is very happy with the future, as are Parsons and Hart.

They were all smiling.

"You're too modest, Mr. Qin......" Parsons was about to say something, but just then, the train whistled and it was time to leave. He had no choice but to take a step back with Hart and take off his hat to say goodbye to Qin Lang. "See you at the annual meeting, Mr. Qin."

"Goodbye, Mr. Parsons, Mr. Hart." Qin Lang also took off his hat and saluted them. Then the doors slid and shut, and the train started and moved slowly, leaving the directors of the Chemical Society and the editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Chemical Society far behind. It was only then that he let out a long breath and turned to toss his hat to the security director standing behind him.

"How do you feel, boss?" Fisborne asked with a smile as he handed his hat to the accompanying Department of Internal Affairs agent.

"Awful, Lawrence." Qin Lang shook his head and walked towards his box.

"Oops?" Fissburn didn't understand. Worst? He didn't see it at all, on the contrary, he felt that everything was fine and smooth. What's not to be happy with the boss with numerous accolades, a string of envious titles, and links to the Chemical Society and the Society for the Advancement of Science? Just because he just lost a sum of money that he hasn't gotten yet?

Lawrence. Fisborne soon found himself an extremely vulgar fool.

"Lawrence, my hands hurt to death." This is the problem that makes Qin Lang feel bad. As he walked out of Philadelphia to listen, hundreds of Ivy League students swarmed him, clamoring to shake his hand and beg him to sign the American Chemical Research Review (REVIEW), which featured a photo of him and Elizabeth on the cover. Of course, he had to meet all their demands, but the result was that his hands were aching.

It's a terrible feeling.

"Hell, I thought that American universities would not organize such a large-scale, typical performative group event." Qin Lang muttered in a low voice, turned into his box, and sat down on the bed.

So Fisborne didn't hear clearly. "What, boss?"

"Nothing, Lawrence." Qin Lang waved his hand, not wanting his security director to know his true opinion of the students' performance - he just thought it was a performance, except for a few people, I am afraid that most of the students did not respect or worship him - he was only twenty-eight years old, not much older than the college students, it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to gain their respect, and it was almost impossible for college students in this era to worship someone fanatically.

So it's a deliberately prepared performance, exciting, but also with a prominent negative effect.

Thankfully, there will theoretically not be a second time for such a performance. "I was lucky enough to visit Florida State University before I attended the conference in Philadelphia." Qin Lang laughed, "Otherwise, I will do it again." ”

He then looked up at the Director of Security. "Is there any news from San Diego?"

Having solved the trouble, now all he needs to be concerned about is the situation in China - after so long the reform movement, the contradictions between the empress dowager and the emperor, the queen party and the imperial party, the conservatives and the reformers, their contradictions should have become extremely acute, and the conflict is gradually becoming white-hot, and the expected palace coup may occur at any time. When he left San Diego, Qin Lang had told Rachel and O'Connor to send him a telegram as soon as they got new information about the political situation in China - but Fisburn received no news.

"No," the head of security affirmed, "I haven't heard anything, boss." ”

"No news?" Qin Lang's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Cixi still did not carry out a palace coup? This does not seem to be at all in her character, although the current situation is quite different from the history he knew: Prince Gong is still alive and all the information indicates that, with his strong intervention, the policies implemented by the reformers were not particularly radical. But even then, it dragged on too long.

However, he did not have the strength to change the status quo, so he could only wait, waiting for the expected to happen. The coup d'état was bound to happen, Qin Lang never doubted his judgment, everything was just a matter of time.

So he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Well, since there is no news, it means that now I can completely relax and return to San Diego to continue to care about the political situation in China." Qin Lang shrugged casually, "Lawrence, please get me a Coke and add ice." ”

"Okay, boss." Fisburne turned around, and saw a completely unfamiliar but flushed face—two agents had stopped the gentleman in the aisle with their hands, but he wanted to enter the box. "Who are you?" The head of the security department asked vigilantly.

"Sean. Scott, I work for the State Department. He replied, "I want to see your boss, it's a very important thing." ”

"What's the matter, Mr. Scott?" Qin Lang asked, but he had already guessed what it was. At this juncture, the State Department will only come to him for one thing.

"There has been a palace coup in China, and the State Department has asked you to go to Washington immediately, sir." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
