88 The most expensive meal in history

Seeing that the Swedish crown prince was still a little unwilling, Chen Muwu said in his heart, it seems that he can only move out of the big killing weapon to scare you.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I think you have also seen the news, just last May, wasn't there a train carrying a number of foreigners, who were taken hostage by local bandits who stopped the road and robbed?

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen during your journey in China?

"And, if you weren't lucky enough to hit a mountain or fall into the water after the train derailed, you probably didn't even have a chance of surviving."

The carjacking case in Lincheng mentioned by Chen Muwu obviously frightened Prince Gustav Adolf, and the news that shocked the world last year still left a big shadow in the hearts of foreigners.

"Mr. Chen, your words have indeed helped me a lot. It seems that I may have to think more carefully about the matter of my visit to your country. ”

The Swedish crown prince had fallen into a depression at this time, Chen Muwu saw that the time seemed to be ripe, the pit had been dug, and the people had already jumped down, it was time to draw a big pie for him.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I understand your feelings, but in fact, if you want to understand Chinese culture, you don't have to travel thousands of miles to the east, there is also another way.

"I was able to come to Europe because I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Albert Einstein and get his recommendation, which allowed me to start my career in Europe.

"There are many people in China who are eager to engage more broadly with Europe and the world, but most of them are unable to do so because of poverty.

"Many of them are better than me, but what is missing compared to me is just chance.

"Since Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very interested in Chinese culture, why not set up a fund to invite a certain number of Chinese scholars every year to help them come to Europe, to Sweden, and have academic exchanges with you?

"It's a great way to get an in-depth understanding of Chinese culture and help them realize their dreams.

"If you can go further in the future, I think you can also follow the example of the Oriental College of the University of London and establish a similar Chinese college in Stockholm in Sweden, and hire more teachers from China, so that you and your people can better understand and learn Chinese culture?"

Chen Muwu is a poor dagger, if the Swedish crown prince can really listen to what he said, then it is equivalent to prostituting a school for nothing.

Even if he hasn't been able to fully listen to it now, it is equivalent to planting a seed in his heart, allowing it to take root and sprout in it silently.

If Chen Muwu has saved enough money in the future, found the Swedish crown prince who likes Chinese culture, and proposed his plan to build a school, maybe it will be much smoother by then.

After meeting with the Crown Prince of Sweden at the British Embassy today, Chen Muwu suddenly thought that Sweden might be a very good choice for him to establish a school in the future.

Although the country has become more and more strange in the future, with public knowledge, refugees, and anti-intellectualism prevalent, the most representative is a big-faced environmental girl who is not welcome in the East and the West.

But for now, Sweden is indeed one of the more high-ranking options in Chen's plan.

One is that Sweden is a neutral country, and the martial arts are still relatively abundant, and the combat effectiveness of the army is not bad, which makes Germany a little jealous of it, and finally always maintains a neutral position in World War II, and is not like the unlucky Norway next door, the same neutral country, but it is still occupied by Germany.

Second, Sweden's industrialization level is also very good, and its domestic mineral resources are also very rich, especially its uranium reserves can rank among the top few in Europe. A strong level of industrialization, plus uranium, plus a doctor of nuclear physics Chen Muwu, it is needless to say what these three things mean when they come together.

Third, in the Cold War, Sweden was neither biased towards the Warsaw Pact nor NATO, and it was also the first Western country to recognize and establish diplomatic relations with New China.

If everything can be idealized, then Chen Muwu feels that he can develop secretly in Sweden during World War II.

After Haiyan Heqing in the future, a large number of scientific and technical personnel trained in Sweden should be able to return to serve the country very conveniently, although they may also be obstructed by some countries with ulterior motives, but it is better than being directly put under house arrest and unable to return to the country.

Chen Muwu is now very glad that he did not refuse the invitation of the British Embassy two days ago, and he is also a little grateful that this stupid Duke of York has given him such a big gift.

Prince Gustav probably also listened to Chen Muwu's trick, he showed a thoughtful expression, and only replied after a while: "Mr. Chen, what you said is very reasonable, this matter will be considered after I go back." ”

Seeing that after this topic, the dinner party was about to develop towards a cold situation, Prince Albert, as the initiator, couldn't sit still and hurriedly changed the topic: "Mr. Chen, you may not know yet, in fact, I am also a graduate of Trinity College. ”

Chen Muwu said in his heart, I know too well.

Although the members of the Apostolic Society, all of whom were from either rich or noble backgrounds, because they were exposed to advanced Hmmmist ideas, at their regular meetings every Saturday, the occasional topic of discussion was how to push the British royal family.

At this time, the second prince in front of him became the object of their ridicule.

Therefore, Chen Muwu not only knew that the Duke of York was a graduate of Trinity College, but also knew that during the year he was studying at Cambridge University, he did not attend a few classes in person at all, and all of them were done by servants.

But it was impossible for him to speak of such a subject in front of the person concerned on such an occasion, so he listened to the Duke of York go on without changing his face.

"Mr. Chen, you have achieved great results in physics, astronomy and this Olympic Games, and as an alumnus, I plan to donate a sum of money to Trinity College as a special scholarship for you. What do you think? ”

Okay, that's pretty much it.

The second eldest of the Windsor dynasty family is quite good at being a person, and this highness can earn 12,000 pounds by making a bet, and this scholarship is less expensive, so it's not suitable, right?

But Chen Muwu was not satisfied with this, it was rare to meet such a rich man, and he was not sorry for the Duke of York and himself.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your kindness, but the scholarship provided to me by the University of Cambridge is enough for my daily life, and I think that this money should be used in a more suitable place.

"At the Cavendish Laboratory, where I am currently working, the entire laboratory is financed at just over £9,000 a year, which is barely enough to keep the laboratory running, and every shilling, every penny has to be carefully calculated.

"Last year, because of the lack of funds for the experiment, we could not afford to buy a vacuum pump that the Americans asked for 2,000 pounds, if it were not for my good friend, the Duke de Broglie of France, who brought this equipment back from the United States on my behalf, then perhaps the results of this experiment would have been taken preceded by other laboratories in other countries.

"Also last year, I went to the Observatory of Cambridge University and wanted to borrow an astronomical telescope there to observe an astronomical phenomenon.

"But when I got there, I was told that the largest telescope at Cambridge University had been built ninety years ago, and that its caliber was far from sufficient for me to make the astronomical observations I wanted to make.

"At that time, I didn't give up, and I stayed at the observatory to try to operate it, so I discovered the ninth planet by mistake. You can say that I am very lucky, but in fact, behind this luck, there is a deep misfortune.

"So I don't think you need to have a separate scholarship for me, but I hope you can put the money into more places where he should go, like more research grants for the Cavendish Laboratory.

"I really don't want to see Cambridge University have the name of the world's number one school, but be overtaken by those rich Yankees behind the scenes."

Although Chen Muwu's words were very selfless and emotional, he also knew very well that the scholarship that originally belonged to him should not be canceled, after all, the Duke of York was not short of that money.

"Well, Mr. Chan, it has been a few years since I left the school, and I did not know that the school was now facing this dilemma, and now I have decided to donate £10,000 a year to the Cavendish laboratory in my own name in addition to your scholarship to support scientific research.

"When I return to China, I will send someone to handle this matter. If you encounter any other difficulties in Cambridge after this, you can write to me directly, and I will do my best to help you solve them. ”

If Chen Muwu's words were said to him in private, then perhaps Prince Albert would not be as generous as he is now.

Coincidentally, on this occasion, there is also an outsider such as Prince Gustav Adolf, the crown prince of Sweden.

The Duke of York, whose scars were revealed, had to save face for his school and his country.

"Then I will take the place of my teacher, Sir Rutherford, and the entire staff of Cavendish Laboratory, and express my gratitude to His Royal Highness the Duke."

So this small-scale dinner finally ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

After leaving the British Embassy and returning to the house where he lived for the past few days, the first thing Chen Muwu did was to find a cook and ask him to get him something to eat quickly.

There is really nothing to eat in British food, if it is a dinner held at the Swedish Embassy, he Chen Muwu can still eat a few bites of meatballs.

Of course, he couldn't imagine that the initiator of this dinner was actually the Crown Prince of Sweden, and he had to worry about how much he wanted to prevent his daughter from meeting Chen Muwu.

However, a meal at the British Embassy gave the Cavendish laboratory an annual grant of £10,000.

Now that the purchasing power of the pound is converted to the future, this meal will definitely be more expensive than Warren Buffett's lunch.

The key is that "Buffett" pays for it.

Chen Muwu hopes that the more such meals the better, and he doesn't mind eating a few more meals.

I don't know if the teacher Rutherford would regret that after receiving four gold medals at the closing ceremony and returning to school from France, if the teacher Rutherford knew the news, why didn't he have another daughter.

There are too many protégés and too few daughters, which is not enough to marry!

Of course, even if Rutherford really has a daughter, he Chen Muwu will never want to be a brother-in-law with Fowler.

Because he felt as if he had a place in his heart now.
