The next day, Lin Fei personally summoned the US ambassador to Huaxia, and the US ambassador to Huaxia was Johannes, who had dealt with Lin Fei twice.

Although Johannes is the general representative of the Standard Oil Company in the South Seas, it is not impossible for the company's executives to become government officials because of the influence of the Standard Oil Company in the American political circles, and the Standard Oil Company contributes a large amount of money to the Republican Party and the Democratic Party every year to influence US policy.

The reason why the U.S. government appointed Johannes as ambassador to China is because Johannes and Lin Fei have dealt with each other, understand each other, and figured out that Guò Johannes has a piece of the pie from the interests of oil fields in Java Island and other places, but Lin Fei resolutely disagreed, Lin Fei said very hard, I Guam is given to you, and you still want my oil, no way!

The Standard Oil Company of the United States did not turn against Lin Fei because of this incident, after all, there are still many oil fields in the United States that have not been exploited in this era, and they can't afford to go thousands of miles to the South Seas to exploit oil, and after extracting oil, they have to compete with the powerful Huaxia Petroleum Company.

When Lin Fei saw Johannes, he directly asked to send students to the United States, but Lin Fei only proposed to send students in general terms at this time, and did not explain that these students were studying science and engineering.

Johannes hesitated for a moment, and then said: "From the level of our US government, we agree to the entry request of these international students, this kind of thing is nothing new, Qing Guo has sent international students to our United States. ”

"After all, many universities in the United States are private, and the U.S. government cannot give them orders, if Mr. Lin Fei sends international students to public universities, our U.S. government can still help."

Lin Fei shook his head gently, the American public universities in this era, whether it is teaching strength or scientific research strength, cannot be compared with powerful private universities, Lin Fei wants to send international students, he has to enter private universities.

Lin Fei then said: "I just want international students to enter private universities. ”

Johannes hesitated, "It depends on the attitude of the private university, I happen to have a professor at Harvard University here, and he is also the vice president, you may be able to meet him and see his attitude." ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Private universities, as long as they are willing to pay, they will definitely accept our students." ”

Johannes smiled helplessly, "Mr. Lin Fei, it seems that you lack understanding of our university, forget it, I won't say more, I will invite that professor here, you can talk to him personally." ”

Johannes said as he called one of his attendants, and the professor said that he would be coming in half an hour, which was very important to Lin Fei, so Lin Fei asked his subordinates to postpone a meeting behind him and wait for the professor.

While waiting, Lin Fei said to Johannes: "Tell me about that professor, what is he a professor for, what is his name, why did he come to Huaxia?" ”

Johannes said with a smile: "His name is Peter Locke, the subject he teaches is mathematics, this time he is traveling to China, you Huaxia won the alliance of Britain, France, Qing, Japan, and Jose, we American people are full of curiosity about you, and many people want to come to you to see, especially a large group of political scholars, in their minds, only a democratic country can be strong, they can't understand how an imperial country can be so strong, they even call the victory of China 'Oriental miracle'......"

As Johannes spoke, one of his attendants came in and said, "Report to Mr. Ambassador, Professor Peter Rock is here." ”

Johannes and Lin Fei hurriedly stood up, and when they saw a white-haired old man walk in, this old man had a high nose, blue eyes, a full beard, a freckle face, and a sense of arrogance all over his body, that kind of arrogance Lin Fei often saw in the literati of the Qing Dynasty.

Johannes introduced Lin Fei and Peter Rock to each other, Lin Fei and Peter Rock sat down after greeting each other, but they didn't expect Peter Rock to say disrespectfully as soon as he sat down: "Mr. Lin Fei, I heard that you want to send Chinese people to our American university, I advise you, don't dream." ”

Peter Lock's wording was very strong, Johannes felt that he couldn't make a round, so he laughed twice, under the pretext that he still had something, the soles of his feet were smeared with oil, and Lin Fei frowned, "Mr. Peter Lock, why did you refuse us Huaxia people to go to your university?" ”

Peter Rock said in a mocking tone: "I have been traveling in the Chinese Empire these days, and I have paid special attention to your Chinese nationals, and I found that your Chinese nationals are too poor to go to the United States to go to college, and I think it's okay to go to elementary school." ”

Lin Fei was angry in his heart, these foreigners like to despise us Chinese people the most, thinking that it is impossible for us Chinese people to make progress in science and technology, in my time, whenever a new technology appears in China, they definitely do not say that the technology is bought from a foreign country or that it is imitated.

Peter Rock saw Lin Fei's displeasure, but he didn't mean to restrain at all, but laughed disdainfully, "Mr. Lin Fei, you can't help but admit that there are advantages and disadvantages among various nations and races in the world, just take smart or not, we Caucasian people are the smartest, you yellow race is secondary, although you are second, but you are definitely not smart, but stupid, still very stupid, and finally it is a pig-like, haha, don't be sad, there are behind you." ”

"With all due respect, Mr. Lin Fei, you yellow people can only do a few ...... Belch...... Things that don't need brains, for example, restaurant chefs, Chinese food is still very good, and factory workers, although you yellow people are not very good at brains, but they are still hardworking and good at learning, and you can't do high-end technicians. ”

"Among the yellow people, you Chinese are also very stupid, the Japanese are much smarter than you, if you want to study abroad, I would rather have the Japanese."

Lin Fei frowned, forcibly suppressing his anger, "Mr. Peterlock, let me ask you, is it a matter of brains to build artillery and warships?" ”

"Of course! That's the most needed brain. ”

"Since you admit that building artillery and warships is a matter that requires brains, well, let me ask you, since we yellows can only do things that don't require brains, how did we build warships and artillery, we also built submarines, and defeated the fleets of British and French battleships!"

Peter Rock shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I don't know much about military affairs, but I can guarantee that you can build warships and submarines entirely because of the help of the Germans and Russians." ”

Lin Fei clenched his fists fiercely, he couldn't beat this Peterrock, after all, he was a relatively important figure in American universities, and his attitude was very crucial.

Lin Fei let go of his fist and said with a smile: "Mr. Peter Rock, you said that we yellow people have a bad head and can't learn the advanced scientific knowledge of your United States of America, so let's compete, do you dare?" ”

Peter Locke laughed, "Mr. Lin Fei, let's not compete, if you lose, your face is not good, Johannes, I can't explain it." ”

Lin Fei smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, we just don't let him know, and we'll compete here, very quickly, it will only take half an hour at most." ”

Peter Rock raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do we compare?" ”

"Do you know the mathematical contests of the great mathematicians of the Renaissance, Tartaglia and Fior?"

"Of course I do." Tartaglia and Fiol are two of the most famous mathematicians in Western history, and they once held a math competition in the form of a mathematical problem with each other to see who could stump the other.

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Let's use the methods of Tartaglia and Fior to compete and ask each other's questions, what do you think?" ”

Peter Rock smiled confidently: "I very much agree, Mr. Lin Fei, please ask the question first." ”

"No, no, no!" Lin Fei waved his hand again and again, "The person who competes with you is not me, but another person." ”

"Another person? Who is he? ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "That person is my wife, proficient in mathematics, and you may not be able to solve her problems." ”

Peter Rock smiled and leaned back, "Compared to Chinese men, Chinese women are stupider, I don't believe that I can't solve a woman's problem." ”

Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders and made an expression that we were walking and seeing, then walked to the table and picked up the phone, "Invite Minister Ling to my office." ”

It didn't take long for Ling Xue to come, Lin Fei grabbed her hand, brought her to Peter Lock, and introduced the two to each other, Peter Rock exclaimed: "Mrs. Lin is so beautiful. ”

Ling Xue was not used to being praised by people like this, her face flushed a little, Lin Fei smiled at Ling Xue and said, "I called you here to let you compete with Professor Peter Rock in mathematics." ”

Ling Xue dispersed as soon as she heard this, she shook her head desperately, "No, no!" I know very little about things, how dare I compete with a professor? ”

Lin Fei patted her lightly on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can use all your strength, now you can ask Professor Peter Rock three questions." ”

Lin Fei picked up a pen and paper from the table as he spoke, and stuffed it into Ling Xue's hand, Ling Xueqiao's face was pale, her hands trembled, her eyes were shining, and she begged pitifully: "Brother, I really can't do it, change ...... Let's change someone. ”

Lin Fei smiled evilly: "When you say no, when will I spare you, hurry up and have a problem!" ”

When Ling Xue saw that Lin Fei had actually told the events of the night, her face was flushed with shame, and she peeked at Peterlock, but fortunately Peterlock couldn't understand Chinese.

Ling Xue asked tremblingly, "What's wrong with me?" ”
