Chapter 176: Entrance Exam, Director Xu's Retreat
Boston is at the same latitude as Mohe.
Although there is no Siberian cold current here, and the temperature is higher than that of Mohe all year round, the air is humid and bitterly cold due to the influence of the Atlantic monsoon.
Xu Fei was wrapped in a woolen coat and walked on the Harvard Bridge in front of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The tall posture and handsome cheeks resemble the style of the protagonist of the film and television villain, which makes the beautiful girls who come and go look back frequently and cast an electrified gaze.
"What do you see? Believe it or not, hang you on the street lamp?! ”
The girls were so frightened that they scattered and fled.
Xu Fei snorted coldly, came to the gate of the school with his head held high, and saw a few parents who sent students, his heart moved, took out his mobile phone, and called Lao Xu, Liu Sixi, Zhang Chaoyang and others respectively.
"Great, I took 8.5 in IE, although we didn't take the college entrance examination, but studying abroad can be regarded as making up for regrets."
"Xizi, our Huangnigang is going to be a foreign student, or MIT, put up a banner in the big canteen tonight, and invite the whole township to eat a big feast."
"Yangyang, your assessment is too accurate, in the future, you will be my senior, I will be your senior brother, the master is the first."
"Lao Shang, the county news is going to be broadcast......"
"Brother Guang, ...... in the city"
"Little four, there is going to be a special issue in the group, with the title: Learning to remember a good example!"
"Uncle Sun, I'm at the school gate......"
"Uncle Liang, our TEP Vocational and Technical College has to be reformed, I think the school gate is very good......"
Xu Fei walked back and forth seven or eight times on the 600-meter-long Haval Bridge, making forty or fifty phone calls in a row, and finally got stuck and entered the entrance examination session unsatisfied.
The 00-level enrollment work has already begun, and there are only 10 places in the undergraduate category and the Huaxia region, and most of the students are concentrated in Beijing, Magic City, Hong Kong and Macao, and the specific information is not yet known.
There are 100 places for graduate students, and the written examination has just been completed, and the vast majority of applicants have been eliminated, and only 200 people are waiting for interviews.
According to MIT shareholders, the admission list is approximately: 6 Qinghua, 4 Beijing University, 1 Nanjing University, 1 Zhejiang University, 2 Shangcai, 1 Wuhan University, 2 Jiaotong University, 2 Zhongshan, and 1 Hong Kong Chinese......
At the beginning of the Academy of Sciences, after Xu Fei refused to accept the quota promised by the leaders, two students from the University of Science and Technology were eliminated in advance due to their background.
This matter has a lot to do with the hospital, the shareholders, and North America.
It's a pity that we can't control anything.
Fortunately, he had a little energy in North America and arranged for the other party to enter Boston University in North America.
Internationally, it is also a prestigious school, and you can learn real skills.
And Director Xu, who is also affected by the background, does not need to use the Huaxia quota, and can continue to 'bet on the topic'.
Don't think this is a violation.
Some of the children of wealthy families, especially the children of financial tycoons, are almost all studying MFIN (Massachusetts Master of Finance) here.
Some come in with money, some donate buildings, and some come in with connections......
Director Xu bets on the topic with strength, but it is the most normal.
Come to the admissions office and learn about MIT's key majors first.
Physics, extended to Master's: Atomic Physics, Biophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, High Energy Physics.
Chemistry, extended to Master's: Molecular Spectroscopy, Solid State Chemistry, Organometallurgy.
Chemical Engineering, extended to Master's: Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials, Sustainable Energy.
Architectural Engineering, extended to Master's Degree: Architectural Design, Construction Machinery, Building Systems Thinking.
If you refer to the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores.
With a maximum score of 340, applicants should not be lower than 310, especially in physics, which should not be lower than 338.
Xu Fei finally chose the most difficult one.
We are busy with the company all day long, how can we have time to study, if we have not been able to graduate, we can use physics is too difficult as a reason, and others will say that we are a dish.
However, after a cursory look at American education, he found that there was a huge difference between the East and the West.
Students are encouraged to achieve personal wealth and success, and to pursue freedom boldly.
The country focuses on patriotism and dedication, and works hard and equally for the construction of the society.
Xu Fei finally understood why Zhang Chaoyang obviously had a high level of knowledge of physical condensation and could rank in the top five in China, but he gave up the best and went to business.
To describe it in the program of the Youth League: the ideological consciousness is not high enough.
Fortunately, Director Xu broke him back.
Not much.
Come to the test site, a multimedia classroom.
Since today's exam is a special session, almost all of the Chinese interns recruited by TEP (North America) are accompanying the exam, with a total of 49 people.
Xu Fei sat in the back row and picked up the test questions to check.
Probability, Calculus, Array Matrices, Fundamentals of Physics, Mechanical Levers......
Although I haven't studied my homework for half a year, I have been in the field of mechanical engineering, and the topic is not too difficult.
Pick up a pen and write, and spend an hour answering.
Then grab a military binoculars and look around.
Answer the question with the intern on the left first, then with the intern on the right, and then ask the invigilator to check it.
Wait for the hint of OK, hand in the papers on the spot, go out and turn left, and come to the interview room.
The five interviewers were not in a very good mental state.
Communicating in a verbal way, it turned out that last night, their children went to the Boston police station because of a drunken brawl.
Due to the local crime rate of 0.05%, in order to save operating costs, the police have demolished all the guard rooms, and there is no place to watch them for a long time, so they can only be locked up with many vicious dogs.
Xu Fei immediately made it clear that he could help with the operation, and he could release the little brothers tonight, after all, we are not short of money.
The interviewers were very happy, enthusiastic, and even offered to give money......
Police David once again succeeded in the question!
At 11 a.m., the exam results were released.
With excellent results, Director Xu became a freshman in the 00-level physics department of MIT.
Thanks to the cooperation between United Defense and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the college helped with the admission procedures on the same day.
Unfortunately, North American colleges and universities have three semesters each academic year, and the start times are August, January, and May, and the class of 00 needs to wait until August to start classes.
However, Xu Fei has another choice.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is running an MBA program, also known as a graduate student in the School of Technology.
The semester is two years, which can also be shortened, as long as you propose a topic, conduct relevant research, and then complete the thesis defense, and then get the undergraduate diploma, you can get an MBA diploma.
If you get a Ph.D., you can also get a DBA diploma.
He even won the honorary title of distinguished professor and came to the School of Industry and Commerce to teach.
These things are all customized courses for entrepreneurs, chairmen, and CEOs.
In other words, MIT is a private school and has to make money.
Private donations from entrepreneurs are one of the sources of income.
Director Xu Feixu, recognized as the strongest professional manager of the same age in the world, has an unimaginable future.
MIT wants to make money and get this graduate, so it definitely recommends the MBA major.
In particular, Director Xu is the founder of the Three Kingdoms Machinery brand, the founder of the TEP automobile brand, the current operating officer of Hongqi Automobile, and the general manager of the two factories......
The head of admissions has said many times that the research on relevant topics can be exempted, and only the thesis defense can be carried out, and he can even help contact the supervisor to help write the thesis.
Xu Fei didn't know before, but when he heard that he could be a professor, he didn't sleep all night with excitement, thinking that he could get a doctoral diploma from a famous university in a very short time, and he could return to China to experience the joy of being a professor.
Now after understanding, finally understand.
Spend money to buy a certificate?
Then I might as well find Lao Huang.
Moreover, Zhang Chaoyang must know these ways, before coming, we blew so much with each other, if we buy a diploma and go back, I am afraid that we will not be ridiculed for a lifetime.
Besides, an MBA Ph.D. and a physicist, who is better than each other?
It's like Cheng Guang hearing about Zhang Chaoyang.
"Whoosh Fox Chairman? Oh, I know, I'm in a meeting, you take him to the conference room, arrange for someone to meet with him. ”
"What? Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics? , where is it, I'll go and invite it myself. ”
Look, this is the huge gap between different identities.
Xu Fei said goodbye to the person in charge of the admissions office and decided to go back to study hard, fight hard for himself and the motherland.
But after tossing around two backpacks of textbooks, and then looking back at the stacks of books in the arms of the three Navy SEALs, and the hundreds of materials and documents that need to be borrowed from the library on the meter-long paper......
"What major did I choose?"
The accompanying intern admired: "Major in High Energy Physics, Elective in Organometallurgy, Molecular Spectroscopy, Nanotechnology, Sustainable Energy. ”
"Heh, it's not too hard."
Xu Fei was confident that the broken jar was broken.
I was only thinking about fame, and I was worried about what others would say about our food, so I chose the most difficult one.
If I want to learn now, I guess I can't learn anymore.
2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone completed all the formalities and went to the library to borrow a lot of materials.
Xu Fei looked at the time and announced that the interns who participated in the accompanying examination would take a day off with pay, and then arrange for someone to deliver the books to the third floor of the headquarters of the tower company.
Then I went to the school cafeteria with a learning attitude.
There are quite a lot of canteens, and the interior space is quite small, but the food inside is extraordinarily rich.
Pay a certain fee and eat as much as you want.
Translated from the title, it should be called: self-service vegetable market?
Xu Feixi circled and found that the restaurant model could be learned, and it was placed in Daze Industrial Park, where the employees and students of the province went to eat long distances.
But if you think about it, isn't this just a miniaturized canteen?
Replace the french fries and onion rings with fried dough sticks and egg cartons.
Replace the baked bread and cheese baked potatoes with baked buns and pancakes.
Replace the seafood or something with a large pot of stew, small portions......
Replace pizza and hamburger with steamed buns, meat buns, and breads......
In fact, everyone's pattern is the same, but the type of food is different.
Xu Fei pondered for a long time, and then turned to study cooking tools and baking tools.
Electric ovens, resistance heating plates, electromagnetic wave heating, solar thermal radiation heating......
Some are equipped with water storage devices, some are equipped with fan devices, and some are equipped with tumbling devices......
In short, it makes the heating more even, and the food is more charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Sir, how much does this oven cost?"
"I used it for several years, and it should have been 6,000 US dollars at the time."
"Is it expensive?"
"The big ones are very expensive, and this can only be considered average."
"Three grams of oil!"
Xu Fei's popularity has always been good.
Especially for handsome people, the popularity is even better.
Taking advantage of the free time in class, I chatted with the chef of the restaurant, and quickly figured out the use of many cooking tools and baking tools.
After that, I left school and walked along the riverside boulevard to visit a number of restaurants.
Finally a conclusion was reached.
"We're going to make a fortune again!"
It should be said that dismantling the useless basic production line, and even in order to get a good quality conveyor belt, it is specially exchanged and then disassembled, and now it comes with its own computer for design, leaving only the smelting electric furnace does not know what to do.
If it is cut into small squares and then compressed into an electric soldering iron, the quality is not up to heaven?
Needless to say, light energy radiates heating.
Small solar heaters, increased power to roast peanuts, roast corn, and toast bread are naturally not a problem.
And electromagnetic waves ......
Half of the radar module was built, and then the transmitter was disassembled, the power and frequency were set, and an induction cooker and microwave oven were made.
These things don't have much market in China at the moment, but they are ...... in North America
If you add the electroplating process and make it more exquisite, it is estimated that the supply exceeds the demand.
In addition, by launching the product under the name of FMC Food Chemicals, we can eliminate many application and inspection processes, and continue to offer 'healthy food that is best suited to these products'.
Xu Fei recently watched the case of avocado eucalyptus and had a little experience in related publicity.
In addition, moving these things on Sohu and allowing people to buy them online can also save operating costs, centralized warehousing, and centralized freezing.
As for delivery......
Boston's crime rate is 0.05%, and the police have to have a job in their hands, otherwise wouldn't the taxpayers' money be in vain?
Therefore, driving a police car to deliver goods to your door is both worry-free and safe.
If there are not enough people, then go to the police dog.
This is called protecting the interests of taxpayers and serving taxpayers to the end!
"It seems that I have gained a lot from studying the program of the Youth League recently."
Xu Fei thought all the way, and what good ideas he had were all recorded in the small notebook he carried with him.
When he returned to the tower headquarters, James was entertaining a few guests in the lobby.
Xu Fei nodded in greeting and ascended to the third floor.
The tower company had a lot of rental businesses, and he never asked, otherwise what would he do to feed James?
When I came to the factory director's overseas office, the second sister was busy printing materials.
"The director of the factory, the steel mill transferred by Romney, the relevant procedures have been completed, and the problem of Harsco and FMC settling down, Bain Capital has also helped to solve it."
"Lao Luo's support rate, how much has it risen?"
"A new round of surveys, at least 85%."
"Helping Massachusetts provide 50,000 jobs all at once, and also promote the development of all walks of life, only to increase by 25 percentage points?"
"Unlike in our country, they always have to strengthen the opposition in order to balance."
"Avoiding a monopoly is worth learning from."
Xu Fei thought thoughtfully, took out the small notebook he carried, and tore down the ideas he wrote down on the road, "You let the Wen Yu team sort it out, and then contact the two major military divisions to help me improve it, and then transfer it to the operation center, deduce it a few times according to the market in North America, and hand it over to me tomorrow morning." ”
"How much is it feasible to ask?"
"More than 90%."
Afternoon.
The second sister →→ the second sister of the → Operation Center of the → Military Division.
Evening.
"Factory director, it's done, 95% feasibility, the relevant ideas are communicated to the design service company, Tang Mo promises to produce a set of renderings before the early morning, the mechanical design company will submit the structural drawings before tomorrow morning, and the electrical laboratory will take out the finished product at noon tomorrow."
"Good!"
What is a large multinational corporation?
Here it is.
The efficiency is full, and it can scare all peers in the outside world.
Early the next morning.
Daze Power exchanged a batch of basic production lines, and United Defense learned from the same type of basic production lines.
Therefore, Xu Fei crossed the ocean to get a new sample developed in the laboratory.
Microwave oven: Microwaves do not contain energy and are so scattered that they cannot be concentrated, so they cannot heat food.
However, by adjusting the power, generating microwaves in an electric situation, and then penetrating the food at an oscillating frequency of 2450MHz per second, the polar molecules in the food are attracted, and oscillate rapidly at a speed of 2.45 billion times per second, and the molecules collide and rub against each other, generating a large amount of heat energy, which also heats the food.
However, metal materials reflect microwaves and can easily burn out the microwave oven, so metal objects cannot be placed inside.
Seeing this, Xu Fei took out the basic book of high-energy physics, quickly flipped through it, and then wrote and painted, listing relevant formulas, "So that's the case!" ”
Then.
Induction cooker: The alternating current is used to generate a constantly changing alternating magnetic field through the coil, which in turn generates eddy current to form a vortex electric field, and then drives the movement of the carriers in the conductor to achieve heating.
Therefore, the induction cooker can also not place metal, otherwise it will cause a small vortex current, generating high-energy heat, once it can't be carried, it will catch fire at the lightest, and boom~
Xu Fei continued to look through the books, found the corresponding knowledge points, pondered, experimented, and opened his eyes.
After that, photothermal spectroscopy, infrared thermal effect, thermal radiation spectroscopy, laser thermal radiation ......
"Wave-particle duality?"
"Come on, I'm going to do a wave-particle duality experiment!"
"And this quantum entanglement, particle collision, nuclear fission, all of them!"
The second sister patted her cheek: "Factory director, wake up." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The relocation of United Defense to Massachusetts has attracted special attention from many aspects, including the restructuring of Harsco, the adjustment of FMC's business, the future development plan of the two plants, etc., and the news media has applied for press conferences several times."
Xu Fei went out to wash his face, returned to the office again, flipped through the calendar, and found that more than half a month had passed, and he was about to enter May.
Look back at the 200-square-meter room covered with all kinds of manuscript paper and various devices......
"Am I going mad?"
"No, you have retreated and cultivated, and you have achieved great achievements and unified the three major theorems, which is just around the corner."
Xu Fei rolled his eyes, sat in the boss's chair, his mind was empty for a long time, and finally broke away from the sea of learning, "How is the Harsco reconstruction project going?" ”
"The previous output has almost been restored, and the laboratory has been completed, absorbing 165 researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including 30 doctors, in the name of foreign assignments, to TEP (Dongshan) to study our company's mature electroplating technology, electrolysis technology, ionization technology, etc., with the aim of mining better nanomaterials."
After the second secretary finished speaking, he frowned and said, "However, there are 5 ballistic engineering scholars among them, and they are forbidden to go out of North America. ”
"Slowly."
"Understood!"
The second secretary must know the purpose of the factory director's visit to North America.
Studying abroad is just a pretense, and the operation of the two factories is also an excuse, but in fact, it is necessary to improve the electrical laboratory and electronic laboratory, and dig a large number of researchers back.
"What is the output of FMC Food Chemical's cooking and baking appliances?"
"Since the design of the sample, the domestic production plant along the industrial chain of Daze-Beijing, fully rolled out, has been overpowering, just from the domestic shipment, even if it is continuous, batch after batch, the receipt and delivery cycle will be 12~15 days. In addition, North America is very dissatisfied with our opening of a factory in China, and has made three representations and banned the first batch of goods arriving in Hong Kong. ”
"I'm de-industrializing, strictly enforcing the tone of North America, banning me from what?"
"So, we need to hold a press conference and explain the reason why the 150,000 jobs after the reorganization of the Joint Defense will be reduced to 50,000, otherwise... Listen to the grapevine, and you risk being expelled from North America. ”
"Eviction?"
"Well, after Fobler investigated GE, some people suspected that you instructed the tower staff to loot GE's production equipment, and also stole two warships and a submarine, but there was no evidence, and more than a dozen councilors proposed to expel you."
"Nonsense, impossible, how dare I steal battleships and submarines, besides, such a big thing, where am I hiding?"
"That's why North America didn't arrest you, but expelled you."
Xu Fei was silent for a long time, "When will the press conference be held?" ”
"The sooner the better, your maximum departure date is May 1st."
"Shet!"
"By the way, this press conference is attended by at least more than 120 news media, don't be scared."
"Heh, who is the director of this factory? Do you really think I'm scared? ”
"Didn't you grow up being picked up by the village chief's dog?"
“……”
