Chapter 151: Save a Mao!

In the new issue of Science magazine, Chen Qiang's paper appeared.

Ordinary people don't read scientific journals like Science, and the content on them is so advanced that they can't understand it even if they buy it.

For scientists, however, Science is a must-read. In this era, the way of information dissemination is not smooth, and reading high-end scientific journals is the main way for scientists to obtain information.

Chen Qiang's discussion on "sub-health" has also entered the field of vision of scientists with the journal Science.

Prior to this, many scientists in the United States also noticed the newspaper reports about "sub-health", but most people didn't care, and many people even thought that it was just a piece of news that the newspaper had sensationalized in order to boost sales.

People who engage in scientific research are more rational, and they will not easily believe some information from unknown sources.

But when the concept of "sub-health" appeared in the journal Science, it was a completely different story, which is a serious scientific journal. What's more, in Chen Qiang's paper, there is a very clear and systematic discussion on "sub-health", which obviously makes "sub-health" a scientific research topic in the real sense.

As the proposer of the concept of "sub-health", Chen Qiang has naturally entered the field of vision of the academic community.

Chen Qiang was able to publish a paper in the journal "Science" and put forward a new topic, although it does not prove that Chen Qiang's views are necessarily correct, but at least it means that Chen Qiang has been recognized by the academic community.

As a result, Chen Qiang also got a stepping stone to give a speech at a top university.

……

Louis Williams had just returned from North Carolina and had just helped Mr. Chen finalize a speech at Duke University.

Duke University is the best university in the southeastern United States, with a long time in the top 10 in the United States and the top 20 in the world in various rankings, and is definitely a top university.

And Duke University is very rich, especially in the thirties, Duke University is more abundant than Harvard, Yale and other prestigious schools.

The reason why Duke University is rich is mainly due to a donation of up to $40 million from Mr. James Duke in 1924, which was $40 million in 1924, which is equivalent to billions of dollars in later generations, and it is for this reason that the name "Duke University" was born.

With this huge amount of $40 million, Duke University began to expand aggressively, building various buildings, but $40 million was so easy to spend, and the construction of Duke University lasted for ten years from 1925 to 1935.

Now is the time when Duke University has money and has nowhere to spend, in Chen Qiang's eyes, Duke University is a rich local tyrant, of course he has to go to talk a few more times to earn him a lot of money.

I only heard Louis Williams say: "Duke University is very interested in your concept of 'sub-health', and they want you to give a speech, but they have a request, they want you to have a sports exchange with the Duke track and field team in addition to your speech." ”

Duke University is also a prestigious sports school. In the future, people will be familiar with the game of basketball at Duke University, which has produced many well-known NBA stars, and they are known as the first basketball school in the NCAA. In fact, in addition to basketball, Duke University also has a very strong strength in other sports.

The Duke football team, in the 21st century, was as bad as Chinese football, but in the thirties and forties, Duke football was very brilliant, and hosted the Rose Bowl Finals, the first of the four major bowls of the NCAA football league.

In 1932, the NBA had not yet been established, so Duke's sports culture was not dominated by basketball. Athletics and baseball, dominated Duke University. There are many excellent track and field athletes at Duke University, so the track and field team of Duke University hopes to communicate with Chen Qiang, the Olympic "hardware king".

Chen Qiang thought about it, and then agreed: "No problem, send a telegram to Duke University, tell them that I am willing to communicate with the track and field team of Duke University, and I can also teach them the technical know-how of long jump push-ups, of course, my technical guidance is charged." ”

Teaching others new technology and charging a little fee is a matter of course. The legendary center Olajuwon of the future NBA opens training camps every year, and it also charges every year, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars to learn a dream step, and it is only a package of teaching.

Chen Qiangken taught Americans the skills of standing up and taking off, and he also had a reason.

Before Chen Qiangshi exhibited the three-and-a-half-step walking take-off, the up-to-the-top take-off had been hailed as the world's most advanced long jump take-off technique.

It is said that since Chen Qiang has demonstrated a three-and-a-half-step walk-in take-off, this technique should also be well-known to many people, but when Chen Qiang came to the eastern United States, he found that those who are engaged in track and field still believe that the upright take-off is the most advanced take-off technology in the world, and no one knows Chen Qiang's three-and-a-half-step step-by-step take-off technology at all.

Chen Qiang still overestimated the speed of information dissemination in this era.

Nanbu Tadahei used a stand-up in 1931, and a year later at the Los Angeles Olympics, no athlete from any other country except the Japanese had ever seen a stand-up move. So when Chen Qiang used a standing up style to take off, it would surprise the Japanese team.

This is the speed at which information spreads in this era. If you put it in the future, shoot a video of the game, and through the Internet, the world will know what it looks like to stand up and take off in minutes. And in the thirties, the upright take-off has been around for a year, and athletes from other countries have not seen it.

Another point is that in addition to professional coaches and athletes, other spectators don't understand the difference between two-and-a-half-step take-off and three-and-a-half-step take-off, they only think that Chen Qiang jumps far away, and only see that Chen Qiang also uses walk-in air, but they don't know that Chen Qiang has made more technological innovations.

As for the professional coaches and athletes who know how to do it, the number is too small, and there are only 12 players participating in the long jump competition at the Los Angeles Olympics, plus the coach, there are less than 30 people, although these 30 people can understand the three-and-a-half-step walking and taking off technology, but counting on these 30 people to publicize the three-and-a-half-step walking and taking off technology, I don't know if it will be until the Year of the Monkey.

Therefore, after Chen Qiang came to the Mideastern United States, he found that the American athletes here did not know the three-and-a-half-step walking take-off technique at all, and they still thought that the up-to-the-top take-off was the most advanced take-off technology in this era, and the long jumpers in the Mid-East of the United States had almost never seen a stand-up take-off.

After Chen Qiang found out about this, he decisively decided to sell the upright vacant for money. As long as the collegiate track teams are willing to pay for it, he can teach him how to stand up and take off the air.

For Chen Qiang, standing up is a backward technology, he doesn't need to hold on to a backward technology, with the development of long jump, standing up will gradually become popular, rather than that Chen Qiang first make a profit.

Now Chen Qiang, who teaches the Americans the skills of standing up and taking off, has the feeling that in the eighties and nineties, the West sold obsolete industrial equipment to China. Sort out your useless rags, and then sell them at a high price, and the other party still holds them as treasures.

I have to say that in any era and in any field, the backward side will always be the losing side!

Americans have learned to stand up and take off, which will make the long jump level of American athletes more powerful, but Chen Qiang is not worried about this. Because the biggest victim of the promotion of the upright air is the Japanese track and field athletes.

The stand-up flight has long been regarded as a stunt by the Japanese track and field team, and it is also a means by which Japan leads the world in the long jump. American athletes are much more physically fit than Japanese athletes, and if American athletes had mastered the same skills, the Japanese would certainly not be a match for the Americans, and Japan would not be able to dominate the world in the long jump in the future.

There is a saying that the apprentice of the church starves to death the master, and the strength of the opponent increases, which will naturally increase the difficulty for Chen Qiang to participate in the competition. However, as a Chinese athlete, Chen Qiang does not have many opportunities to participate in international competitions, and Chen Qiang also knows that if the Olympic Games are held again, World War II will come, and then two consecutive Olympic Games will be suspended, and when the Olympic Games are held again in 1948, Chen Qiang may have retired.

Teaching new techniques can make a lot of money, and can create trouble for the Japanese team, this kind of thing killing two birds with one stone, why not Chen Qiang!

……

Japan Sports Association.

Kenjiro Nakano took a telegram and found President Kishishi Seiichi.

"President, there is a telegram from Los Angeles, our people have not found Chen Qiang." Kenjiro Nakano spoke.

"Didn't find it? Could it be that he has already returned to China? It can't be a real death, right? Kishi Qingyi said with a little weakness.

"Chen Qiang should still be in the United States, although our representative in Los Angeles did not find Chen Qiang himself, but he inquired about his whereabouts, it is said that Chen Qiang once performed in a circus, and many people have seen him. Based on what we know, Chen Qiang's health should be okay. Kenjiro Nakano replied.

"A circus show? Chen Qiang is an Olympic champion anyway, is he so reduced to going to the circus to perform! Kishi Kiyoshi let out a long sigh, and then he asked, "Can you still find that circus?" ”

"That circus has left Los Angeles, and our guys are investigating where the circus went. In addition, our people also conducted an investigation in Chinatown in Los Angeles, and according to the accounts of overseas Chinese in Chinatown, Chen Qiang went to a big city in the eastern United States. As for where to go, our people did not look out. Kenjiro Nakano continued.

"A big city in the eastern United States? It must be New York! An Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let our office in New York try to investigate whether Chen Qiang is in New York now." If Chen Qiang is really in New York, buy him as much as possible and let him be used by the empire! ”

……

Japanese investigators in Los Angeles only found Chen Qiang performing in the circus, but not Chen Qiang's speech at the university.

When Chen Qiang performed at the Lingling Circus, the circus was also promoted by Chen Qiang as an attractive gimmick, and anyone who has seen the Lingling Circus advertisement in Los Angeles knows that Chen Qiang, the "world's No. 1 athlete", once performed at the Lingling Circus. So it was easy for Japanese investigators to learn about it.

However, when giving speeches in universities, no one specifically advertises, only the teachers and students in the university know, and the scope of this knowledge is too small, and it is impossible for Japanese investigators to go to the university in Los Angeles to find Chen Qiang, even if they are idle.

Before Chen Qiang left Los Angeles, he also said goodbye to the Chinese community in Los Angeles and told them that he would go to a city in the eastern United States, so Japanese investigators got the news from the Chinese population in Los Angeles.

Kishi Qingyi also judged from this information that Chen Qiang might have gone to New York.

……

After a big circle in the eastern part of the United States, Chen Qiang finally came to New York.

On October 29, 1929, the New York Wall Street stock market plummeted, directly to the lowest point in history, which was also the beginning of the largest economic crisis in history.

Chen Qiang thought that New York would be as depressed as Chicago, but when he arrived in New York, he found that the situation in New York was much better than Chicago, at least the market seemed to be prosperous. Although there are many unemployed and homeless people, the majority of pedestrians are well-dressed. The streets of New York are even more busy, and you can see many richly dressed ladies sitting in the cars.

Walking on the road, Chen Qiang saw a lot of facilities under construction, busy workers shuttling through them, and the sound of various building materials colliding was endless.

New York as a whole seems to have begun to recover from the Great Depression.

Chen Qiang arrived at the Plaza Hotel on 59th Street in New York and went through the procedures for entering the owner.

The Plaza Hotel is a landmark building in New York, opposite New York's Central Park. Since its opening, it has been a destination for celebrities and dignitaries, including kings, presidents, ambassadors, movie and television stars, sports stars, business bigwigs and other travelers from all over the world. The Plaza Hotel of the future is no longer a simple hotel in the hearts of New Yorkers, but a symbol that witnesses the development and historical changes of New York.

Many people in Japan may not know about the Plaza Hotel, but they must have heard of the Plaza Agreement, which made Japan an American cash machine, and it was at the Plaza Hotel that Japan was signed.

As the most luxurious landmark hotel in New York, the charge of the Plaza Hotel is also very high, Chen Qiang did not plan to live in such a luxurious hotel, but considering that he came to New York to make a speech to make money, in order to support the faΓ§ade, Chen Qiang can only choose the Plaza Hotel.

Celebrities and big names all need to be packaged, Chen Qiang came to New York, if he didn't live in the Plaza Hotel, wouldn't it seem very unrecognizable, and there was no celebrity style at all.

If you want to make money from speeches, what you need most is to be a style, and to be forced. The reason why those retired US presidents can make millions a year by relying on their speeches is not because of the significance of what they say, but because of the compulsion of others. For example, those micro-businesses are willing to spend 200,000 yuan to shake hands with the outgoing president, and they buy this kind of coercion.

Now in order to improve his qualifications, Chen Qiang can only live in the luxurious Plaza Hotel.

What Chen Qiang didn't expect was that on the second day after he checked into the Plaza Hotel, someone would visit.

……

A young Chinese man in his early twenties stood in front of Chen Qiang, and he spoke in an official dialect with a Cantonese accent: "Mr. Chen, we at An Liang Tang represent the Chinese in New York, and welcome you to New York. ”

"An Liangtang? You are the people of Hongmen! Chen Qiang nodded in realization.

Hongmen has many names in the open sea, such as Tiandihui, Zhigongtang, Yixinghui, Red Gang and so on. Among them, one of the strongest groups under the Hongmen banner of the United States is An Liangtang. At that time, Anliang Hall spread across 31 cities in the United States, with more than 20,000 members.

The main hall of Anliang Hall is located in New York. When he first arrived in Los Angeles, there were people from An Liangtang among the Chinese groups that greeted Chen Qiang, so when the other party mentioned the name "An Liangtang", Chen Qiang immediately knew the identity of the other party.

Chen Qiang didn't ask the other party how he found himself, a Chinese settled in the most famous Plaza Hotel in New York, which was originally a very unusual thing, with An Liangtang's power in New York, it was impossible not to receive the news.

The young man continued, "Our Mr. Situ from Anliangtang has set up a banquet and is waiting for Mr. Chen's arrival. ”

Chen Qiang knew this Mr. Situ, he was a leading figure among overseas Chinese, he once supported Mr. Zhongshan's revolutionary activities, and established the Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association during the Anti-Japanese War, making great contributions to the cause of the nation's Anti-Japanese War.

So Chen Qiang nodded without hesitation: "Thank you very much Mr. Situ for your love, I will definitely go." ”

……

At the banquet, almost all the well-known people in the Chinese community in New York were present to welcome Chen Qiang's arrival.

"Young man, what a good job, a hero out of a boy! Win glory for the country at the Olympic Games! China needs young people like you! Mr. Situ patted Chen Qiang on the shoulder and complimented.

"Mr. Situ praised it falsely, I just do what an athlete should do." Chen Qiang replied.

"But what you do, other athletes can't do!" Mr. Situ looked at Chen Qiang happily, and then he asked, "By the way, how long do you plan to stay in New York this time?" If you live for a long time, you might as well move out of the Plaza Hotel, although the foreigner's hotel is famous, it is expensive and uncomfortable to live in. If you are willing, move to our Anliangtang, we have ready-made rooms here, the conditions are no worse than the foreigners' restaurants, and our chefs here are also from China, living in our Anliangtang, you can eat our chef's hometown dishes every day, it is much better than you eat Western food every day! ”

"Mr. Situ, I can't hide it, I'm really reluctant to live in the Plaza Hotel, but I really can't help it." Chen Qiang told Mr. Situ about his speeches at various universities in the United States.

"You kid, you have a lot of ghost eyes, and you know how to live in the Plaza Hotel to support the faΓ§ade! But next time, if you don't have the money to return to China, come directly to our Anliangtang, don't work so hard anymore. A ticket to return to China, we can afford it! Mr. Szeto said.

Chen Qiang hurriedly explained: "Mr. Situ, in fact, making money to return to China is only the secondary purpose of my speech, and I mainly want to continue the opportunity to give lectures at various universities, so as to spread China's influence and let Americans know more about China." ”

Mr. Situ nodded: "It makes sense, we Chinese are the first to give lectures in famous universities in the United States." In this way, I will introduce you to a person who will meet you in New York, and if you meet this person, you will definitely be able to help you support the faΓ§ade. ”

"Then I'll thank Mr. Situ first." Chen Qiang thanked him, and then asked, "I don't know who this person you are talking about is." ”

"When he was young, he used to be our legal adviser to Anliangtang, that is, the lawyer we hired, and he helped us deal with a lot of difficult things at that time. I've had a good relationship with this guy for more than 20 years, and when he ran for governor of New York, I did a little bit. It's just that this person's legs and feet are not very good, and when he was young, he had a disease, his leg was lame, he couldn't walk, and he could only use a wheelchair. Mr. Szeto replied.

"Lame in a wheelchair?" Chen Qiang's heart was shocked.

In the American politics of this era, such an obvious feature, there is only one person!

So Chen Qiang immediately asked: "Mr. Situ, this person you are talking about should not be Roosevelt?" ”

Mr. Situ was slightly surprised: "Do you know him?" ”

Chen Qiang nodded, even if he is a novice in history, he must have heard of Roosevelt's name!

"I just met Reagan not long ago, and now I can meet Roosevelt, I have met two American presidents, right? When the time comes, you must take a good photo! ”

……

In front of a newly built good sports park in New York, a crowd of reporters gathered to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the park's opening.

Roosevelt was present today in person to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, along with a number of New York City officials and celebrities.

Among the people who cut the ribbon, there is a Chinese standing in a group of white people, particularly conspicuous, this person is Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiang was a special guest at the ribbon-cutting event, and as the "world's No. 1 athlete", he participated in the ribbon-cutting of a sports park without a sense of disobedience.

When Mr. Situ introduced Chen Qiang to Roosevelt, there happened to be such a ribbon-cutting ceremony in New York, so Roosevelt invited Chen Qiang to go with him. With the help of the "world's No. 1 athlete", the ribbon-cutting ceremony of this sports park also looks much better.

Now Roosevelt is in a critical period of the campaign, so he appears more frequently. For Roosevelt, anyone who has some fame, whether American or not, as long as the image is not negative, can be regarded as a boost to his presidential campaign.

The Olympic spirit is inherently positive, and Chen Qiang, as the champion of the Olympic Games, also represents the Olympic spirit of friendship, unity, and fairness to a certain extent, so Roosevelt is very willing to accept Chen Qiang and let Chen Qiang become a help for his campaign, and maybe he can get the votes of many athletes.

As for Chen Qiang, he also borrowed Roosevelt's identity as the governor of New York to support his faΓ§ade, if Roosevelt is elected president of the United States in the future, then the effect of this fox and fake tiger will be even better!

Both sides can be said to take what they need.

Standing at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Chen Qiang looked back at the sports park behind him, and he suddenly realized that in 1932, Roosevelt, who was still the governor of New York, had already begun to carry out infrastructure construction and implement his "New Deal".

In fact, in 1929 there was the Great Depression, in 1930 Roosevelt became governor of New York, the same year the construction of New York's famous landmark Empire State Building began, and in 1931 there were two major landmarks in New York, namely the George Washington Bridge and the Empire State Building.

When the economic crisis came, the whole United States was tightening its belts and saving money to spend, but Roosevelt's New York State was engaged in construction, and even built super buildings such as the Empire State Building.

……

The office of Japan in New York.

Ichiro Takeda has just received a new assignment to find an athlete named Chen Qiang and then rescue him.

Ichiro Takeda is no stranger to the name "Chen Qiang", and during the Los Angeles Olympics, American newspapers reported on Chen Qiang, saying that Chen Qiang was "the world's No. 1 athlete". What Ichiro Takeda really cares about is that Chen Qiang took away the Olympic gold medal and world record in the triple jump from the Japanese team. For the Japanese, losing gold in the triple jump is very bad news.

In the office, Ichiro Takeda is assigning tasks to two of his subordinates.

"You have all seen the photos and information about Chen Qiang. At present, we still can't be sure whether Chen Qiang is in New York, but according to the information transmitted back from China, Chen Qiang is stranded in the United States because he has no money to buy a ticket back to China, and his current living situation is definitely not very good, he is in a state of poverty and precariousness, or he is sick now, but I think he definitely can't afford to go to the hospital opened by the Americans, so we should pay special attention to the Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown......"

As Ichiro Takeda was talking, he suddenly realized that one of his subordinates was not listening to his assignment, but reading a newspaper.

Ichiro Takeda suddenly felt a little angry in his heart, if it was someone else, Ichiro Takeda would have slapped him a long time ago, but at this time he held back the anger in his heart.

Because the person who read the newspaper was surnamed Fujiwara, and his name was Takata Fujiwara.

The Fujiwara family is one of the top nobles in Japan. The Fujiwara family has manipulated the Japanese imperial family for more than 300 years, and it can be said that it has influenced the Japanese government and the opposition, and it is more effective than the Japanese emperor.

Takata Fujiwara, a son of the Fujiwara family, is a Japanese nobleman, and he came to the United States to work, more like a gilded trip.

is also because of the aristocratic status of Fujiwara Takata that he does not respect Ichiro Takeda as his boss on weekdays. In a hierarchical Japanese society, it is almost impossible for a subordinate to disrespect his superior, unless his or her status is more respectful.

Ichiro Takeda is really a little commanding Fujiwara Takata but there is nothing to be done, who let Fujiwara Gata be a child of the Fujiwara family!

At this time, Ichiro Takeda found that Takata Fujiwara was reading the newspaper, and his heart was full of anger, he coughed dryly, and said, "Fujiwara-kun, I am assigning a task, please be serious." ”

"I'm listening. But what you said is nonsense! Takata Fujiwara raised his head and looked at Ichiro Takeda with a contemptuous gaze.

Although Ichiro Takeda is his boss, in the eyes of Takata Fujiwara, a commoner like Ichiro Takeda deserves to be called by the nobles.

Fujiwara's words made Ichiro Takeda feel insulted, he clenched his fists viciously, and said, "Fujiwara-kun, don't forget that I am your boss!" ”

"There's really no way to put a useless boss like you on the stall!" Takata Fujiwara shook the newspaper in his hand as he spoke, and continued, "Poor? Precarious? That's what you just said, right? Look at this newspaper, that Chinese, I don't know how moisturizing it is, he just finished a ribbon cutting with the governor of New York! ”

Ichiro Takeda subconsciously took the newspaper, and then saw the photo on the front page, which was the scene of Roosevelt attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the sports park.

In the photo, next to Roosevelt, there is a Chinese man, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a red face and a smile, and the whole person looks very energetic.

"It's Chen Qiang, it's that Chinese!"

Ichiro Takeda took out the photo of Chen Qiang in the information, carefully compared it with the photo in the newspaper, and confirmed that it was Chen Qiang who participated in the ribbon-cutting event in the newspaper.

At this time, Ichiro Takeda's mood was as bad as eating soap as chocolate.

"Destitute? Precarious? Still the possibility of getting sick? It's all fart! How do I think this Chen Qiang is more nourishing than me! The country even wants us to find him and then rescue him. Save a hair! Maybe that Chinese is having a big meal next to the governor! ”
