"Tsinghua Academy?"

"Tsinghua University. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qin Lang did not look up. His eyes and attention were focused on the pen in his hand and a piece of paper on his desk filled with "Tsinghua University" written on it—he was trying to write the "correct" name of the university.

The meaning of "correct" is exactly the same as the four words on the gate of Tsinghua University and official documents in his memory, but this is not easy to do: calligraphy has never been a skill he is good at, whether it was or is still a brush, whether it is a brush or a hard pen.

In the end, after hundreds of failed attempts, he had to give up this effort. "Looks like I should find a calligrapher."

"I don't see the need to do that," Elizabeth shook her head bewildered, looking at the words she didn't recognize, "I don't see any difference between them." ”

Qin Lang sighed. "Of course you can't see that, Elizabeth."

"You don't know Chinese characters." Rachel added - of course, she didn't know either, Yi Shui hadn't taught her, and even if he wanted to, Rachel wouldn't want to learn - wasting time. She is a pure businessman, and she prefers to spend her precious time in business rather than learning more knowledge.

Elizabeth was always disappointed by her cousin's attitude, she always wanted to change Rachel and tried whenever she found an opportunity. "We can learn together." She accentuated her tone above "we".

But as on any previous occasion, Rachel refused. "Elizabeth, you know, I'm always busy."

"Rachel ......"

Rachel raised her right hand and motioned for her cousin to stop. She did not want to discuss it. It has been discussed many times, and there is no point in doing it again. And now she is more concerned about why Qin Lang named the university he was going to establish "Tsinghua".

"What does that mean?" She asked.

"It doesn't mean anything, just a random name." Qin Lang replied.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Rachel and Elizabeth that the university was named "Tsinghua University" only because China was once - the word is not quite correct, but for him, it was indeed "once" - there was a prestigious school called Tsinghua University, which attracted countless students to apply every year, and could be a capital for parents to show off to relatives, friends, and colleagues; Nor would he tell them that the university was originally a preparatory school for studying in the United States established by the U.S. government with war reparations from the Qing government, and that it takes its name from the location of the school, a royal garden built during the Kangxi period and later renamed "Qinghua Yuan" by the Xianfeng Emperor......

Well, the most straightforward explanation, it's just his bad taste.

But Qin Lang will never reveal the slightest secret. And, in order to prevent Rachel or Elizabeth from asking, he began to change the subject.

"I have to say that the senators' actions were a bit unexpected to me. I thought it would take a little longer for them to take action. Qin Lang was referring to Eugene. Senator Haier's motion to amend the Chinese Exclusion Act. Just yesterday, the Senate overwhelmingly passed the proposal, and then Bush transmitted the news to the Pentagon via telegram.

The good news, "a victory of great commemorative significance", the amended bill provides for the annual admission of 250 Chinese to the United States, although the bill is still not repealed, there are still many restrictions, and there are some necessary legal procedures to be fulfilled, but in any case, it is indeed a victory, not only 46 years earlier, but also more than Franklin. Draenau. Roosevelt's orders were more lenient.

"It's a great thing to congratulate." He was amazed.

"It's really beyond my expectations, Qin, you are so easily satisfied." Habitually mocking, Rachel emphasized the fact that "it's just two hundred and fifty places." ”

Qin Lang smiled. "Two hundred and fifty places is better than no one. Some things, especially those that challenge mainstream public opinion, can only be done step by step. Trying to fix it all at once is just an unrealistic fantasy. ”

"Lawmakers also want to keep their votes." Elizabeth also said.

Both Qin Lang and Rachel had their eyes on her—it was the first time Elizabeth had pointed out the crux of a political issue with such precision, and it was not easy for a pure scholar like her who was obsessed with academic research all day long.

"What are you looking at?" She's a little baffled.

"Nothing." They replied at the same time, looking away at the same time.

"So, two hundred and fifty places." Rachel went on to say, "It's always too little. Tsinghua University may have more than 250 graduates officially awarded degrees each year, and we cannot have all the places exclusively. ”

He shook his head. "International students are not subject to the law, but they must return to China after they get their degree – if the quota is used up."

The Chinese Exclusion Act mainly targets ordinary Chinese who go to the United States to perform manual labor, and of course, the law also prohibits Chinese from settling in the United States. If a Chinese is only going to the United States to study or do business, he will not be restricted by federal law. As for what state laws will do, and how immigration and police will treat Chinese arriving in the United States, that's another issue — but one that is easy to solve.

The state legislature is not easy to solve...... But it's still easier than Congress, and the immigration and police aren't worth worrying about at all.

"Your compatriots aren't as rich as you, Qin." Rachel reminded him to pay attention.

"Do you think the police in California still need some student from China to bribe alone, Rachel?" Qin Lang smiled and asked her rhetorically.

The answer is: basically not. A few years ago, the corrupt police in San Diego and Los Angeles were bought by Qin Lang, and many people in the immigration bureau were receiving his second salary. Only Sacramento and remote rural areas are Qin Lang's power vacuum, but what Chinese student would go to those places?

"And don't forget, there are gangsters." "We also have good relations with Mexicans and Spaniards," he added. ”

"But you have a bad relationship with the Chinese gang."

"No way, our point of view is a bit ...... Conflict. Qin Lang shrugged. But in reality, he was with the Chinese gangsters...... One reason for Hongmen's bad relationship is that he "cleaned up" the Chinese in California for former Governor Markham at the behest of former Lieutenant Governor Reddick, and another reason is that his company affected many of Hongmen's businesses - for Chinese, working in Qin Lang's company is a thing with many advantages, a good income, as long as they don't break the law, they don't have to worry about the police, and they don't have to pay protection money to the gang. They all wanted to join his company, they all put their ideas into practice, and there were people who continued to succeed, so Hongmen's life became not very pleasant.

There is also frustration: they can't help Qin Lang at all, they have no way at all, and they can't do anything.

"I'm sorry about that." He said.

"Hypocrisy." Rachel and Elizabeth see the same thing.

"It's just your opinion." Qin Lang didn't want to discuss this issue in depth, so he changed the topic again. "What else do you think about Tsinghua University?"

"Who is going to work with you?" Elizabeth asked.

"The Chemical Society, the Association for the Advancement of Science, a number of philanthropists who are passionate about investing in education, and the federal government and Congress ......"

"The federal government and Congress?"

"The State Department and the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee will inject a secret amount of money into the school, and in return, the school must guarantee the pro-American position of the graduates, and preferably some professionals for the State Department." Qin Lang said in an understated tone. In fact, this is exactly why he sent a telegram to Bush. A decoy, which was supposed to be just to get the Senate to provide some convenience to his plan, as well as legal support, but apparently he got more than expected.

Now that Washington has made such a request, he can use it to accomplish some of his plans.

Rachel's eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly. Qin Lang's tone made her realize that he had other plans, and if she thought about it carefully, she could almost guess what he wanted to do. Of course, she didn't plan to say what she guessed - Qin Lang's plan would be good for both Yi Shui and the company. As for Washington, who cares about it!

After being happy for a while, she then asked, "Who else is planning to invest?" ”

"Christian Science Church. But I refused. When that name was mentioned, Qin Lang also frowned. He was on this by Mary. Baker. The denomination founded by Eddy in 1879 was not well liked - even according to Christian view, the theories of the Christian Science Church were not scientific. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's closer to a cult. Of course, the United States is a very free country with many cults, and he does not want to interfere in this phenomenon, but he also does not want any sect to reach into his territory.

Rachel and Elizabeth were very happy with his decision. They are Catholics, and years of education have made them less favorable to Christianity, and in the case of denominations such as the Christian Science Church, their attitude is by no means more than "lack of affection".

"You're doing the right thing, Qin." Elizabeth was extremely serious, but only for a moment, and the next moment she was back to her old self, "Which famous professors are you going to hire to teach at the school?" ”

"No one is willing to accept my offer yet. So, I'm still the most famous professor in the school. ”

That's really bad news.

But no matter what, the preparatory work for the establishment of Tsinghua University has officially begun. (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.) )
