Chapter 180: The Candidate for the President of Xingchen University is decided
If An Ran waited until Luo Jia's order was issued before starting to act, then he would not be An Ran.
In fact, Enron not only predicted that Luo Jia was going to go to university, but also thought that he would win over his junior brother Cao Yuan, after all, materials science is not only the shortcoming of Xingchen Technology, but also the shortcomings of the entire Huaxia, and Luo Jia could not let go of the opportunity to recruit talents in this field.
So after An Ran came to Massachusetts, he took the initiative to get in touch with Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan tugged at his tie a little awkwardly, and asked An Ran curiously, "Senior brother, where are we going to eat today?" It's so formal, it's the same as attending an awards ceremony. ”
Those who are familiar with Cao Yuan know that he is actually a very unprofessional guy, likes to play games, is a well-known game UP master of station B, and likes to quarrel with others in the forum, and everything that is not used to seeing has to go up and say a few words.
In general, Cao Yuan is more like an ordinary young man in his early twenties in life, and no one has ever seen him stay up all night reading with a book in his hands, either playing games, sleeping, or playing tricks on the forum with his outstanding wisdom.
But the reason why a genius is a genius is because Cao Yuan's life is different, as long as he puts in 10% of his efforts, it is enough to achieve amazing results that astonish the world.
An Ran smiled, "I booked the Maliavi restaurant." ”
Wow~
Ping Yu Sakura's eyes lit up and she cheered, "It's so fun to eat at Maliavi's restaurant on Christmas Eve!" ”
Cao Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "No wonder you want to wear this, it turns out that you are going to the legendary Maliavi." ”
They were all very excited, only Senior Sister Qi Mengzhou pouted lightly, assuming that An Ran and her two of them were eating, it would be called romance, but An Ran chose to bring a group of light bulbs.
"Let's go, let's pick up Principal Raphael." An Ran put on another tweed coat over his suit and said to everyone.
......
Enron rented a GM limousine from the Four Seasons Hotel to pick up Principal Raphael.
Headmaster Raphael is nearly seventy years old, his wife died a few years ago, and they have no children, so he has been living alone and widowed for several years.
On a holiday like Christmas, it is inevitable to be lonely to stay at home alone, so after receiving Enron's call, he only thought for a few seconds before smiling and agreeing to go to Christmas dinner with them.
The car stopped outside Principal Raphael's house, and they got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
As expected, due to the absence of a hostess, although the house of Principal Raphael was fairly clean, things were very messy, and Principal Raphael rummaged through the drawers for a long time before finding his cufflinks in a pile of socks.
On the dining table in the living room, there was also a box of pizza delivered from takeout, which was supposed to be his lunch.
The principal doesn't know how to cook, so he always relies on fast food like sandwiches with peanut butter or pizza burgers, and the amazing thing is that he even gained some weight when his eating habits were so simple, probably because the burgers and pizzas were too high in calories.
"Let's go!" Principal Raphael was dressed up and said happily.
Surrounded by students, he left the house, locked the door, put the keys in the mailbox, and drove to the famous Magliavi restaurant.
This 100-year-old restaurant opened in 1875 and specializes in high-end French cuisine, and is one of the most famous long-established restaurants in the entire Boston area.
In order to book a place in this restaurant on Christmas Eve, An Ran spent a lot of effort to ask his classmates in Massachusetts to help, and owed a big favor.
In short, Enron prepared the banquet carefully, and the waiter in tuxedo ushered them to the window seats, served them an aperitif and a few exquisite French side dishes, and then began a luxurious French feast consisting of seven courses before and after.
With an expensive white truffle and a glass of the best wine from Château Margaux, the price of the meal was a few thousand dollars.
However, if the old principal can spend Christmas with dignity and liveliness, this amount of money is still nothing to Xingchen Technology.
French food is known for being long and cumbersome, and it took more than two hours to finish all seven dishes.
During the banquet, Enron did not mention the matter of Xingchen University, mainly about the current development of Xingchen Technology and the company's longer-term planning.
And these are also what Principal Raphael is most concerned about, he is an electrical expert, and it just so happens that the company's hardware department has recently focused on the electrical field, so there seems to be endless topics between them.
Enron talked about the company's progress in high-power energy wave research, the solid-state electrolyte under development, and the efficiency of the actual operation of the supercapacitor energy storage center after its completion.
Enron was not only said to Principal Raphael, but also to Cao Yuan.
This world-famous Chinese genius is about to graduate and obtain a doctorate, if you want to win him to Xingchen Technology, now is the time.
The time is almost up, and after a whole night of subtle thinking, Cao Yuan and Principal Raphael have thoroughly understood that Xingchen Technology is not only a money-making company, but also has big dreams.
After a toast, An Ran put down his glass and asked Principal Raphael curiously, "I wonder where you are going after leaving Massachusetts?" ”
Principal Raphael shrugged, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I definitely won't stay in North America, and since my wife died, there have been fewer and fewer factors that attract me to stay." ”
"You know, I'm Venezuelan, and now my hometown has become a hell on earth, and of course there are reasons for the inaction of the rulers, but North America, my second hometown, is really not friendly to Venezuela, not only did not help when it was needed most, but imposed sanctions."
"It's Huaxia who helped Venezuela, of course I know, Huaxia helped my hometown out of interests, but at least you didn't fall into the ground."
Principal Raphael looked out the window at the snow with tired eyes.
"Maybe I'll go to Europe, Hemingway said, if you're lucky enough to have lived in Paris when you're young, then Paris will always follow you, because Paris is a flowing feast."
"Although I am not young anymore, I still want to leave here and live in Paris for a while, and if I ask for a position at the Paris Masters, they will agree."
Everyone laughed, this old intellectual was really modest enough.
Although École Supérieure de Paris is known as the cradle of mathematicians and enjoys a good reputation in the mathematical community, Raphael is the world's second-ranked president of MIT.
An Ran understood two meanings from Principal Raphael's words, as a Venezuelan immigrant, Principal Raphael did not like the current North America, and second, he was ready to leave.
Luo Jia is right, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thinking of this, Enron finally threw out his killer idea.
"The École Supérieure de Paris is naturally outstanding, but has the principal ever thought about coming to our Huaxia to have a look?" An Ran said lightly that although he was extremely eager in his heart, he would not show it on the surface.
"To Huaxia?" Headmaster Raphael frowned, as if he hadn't thought about it.
"Yes, we are going to open a star university, and the president is waiting for a vacant position." Enron smiled and said, "And you are an outstanding expert in electrical engineering, and recently we are working on a project to use the Kármán vortex principle to generate electricity, if you can..."
Principal Raphael's expression suddenly became extremely excited, and he didn't wait for An Ran to finish speaking, he grabbed An Ran's hand and used it very hard.
"Wait, what do you say? Using the Kármán vortex principle for power generation? What kind of murderous research are you guys doing? ”
Principal Raphael couldn't believe his ears, in this world, there are countless people who want to use the magical Carmen vortex principle to create new energy.
But they all failed without exception.
Some time ago, a company in Spain announced that it had built wind turbines based on the principle of Carmen vortex, but unfortunately, their efficiency was only okay, far from the point of changing the world's energy pattern in one fell swoop.
And the reason why Luo Jia dared to do this was because he found the key technical point from the knowledge of extraterrestrial civilizations, Xingchen Technology will not manufacture a single wind turbine, but will build a huge power generation array based on countless wind turbines.
"Yes, the theoretical construction is basically completed, and in the spring, we will begin the first trials." Enron said.
Principal Raphael, Ping Yu Sakura, Qi Mengzhou, Cao Yuan, they were all completely shocked.
Everyone knows very well that if the Kármán vortex street power generation is successful, oil and coal will become a thing of the past, and it will be a great revolution in the history of world energy.
To put it simply, Xingchen Technology wants to change not only energy, but also the rules of the game.
As for Enron saying this now, does it count as a leak?
That's not going to happen.
Xingchen Technology is now a global giant, stared at by countless eyes, they are studying the wind turbine, in fact, many people know.
It's just that no one knows what stage Xingchen Technology has progressed to.
In the spring, the fan of Xingchen Technology will start the official test, and this amazing news has set off a storm in the hearts of everyone present.
In particular, Principal Raphael, as a big figure in the electrical field, he dreams of seeing the birth of a new energy source that changes the world, which is simply too tempting for him, far better than the position of any principal.
The dinner continued, but it became a matter of heart, and Principal Raphael fell silent, thinking in his heart.
When the time came to eleven o'clock in the evening, the long dinner party finally ended.
Principal Raphael also finished thinking about it, and he said with a smile: "I don't think I can miss an opportunity to witness history, after all, at my age, this may be the last chance in my life." ”
An Ran was overjoyed, he stretched out his right hand and shook it with Principal Raphael, "Your Excellency, Xingchen Technology welcomes you to join." ”
The second year of entrepreneurship, Christmas Eve.
The candidate for the president of Xingchen University is determined.
