130 Rockefeller Foundation

Shun Ruo is Shi Ruwei's character, and he is also the oldest of the four.

At present, Chen Muwu has the highest level of knowledge among the four, but his age is ranked third, and he is only two years older than Oppenheimer.

Although he invited the two compatriots to come from China, he never showed the posture of a division commander.

And Zhao Zhongyao and Shi Ruwei are also very grateful to Chen Muwu for inviting them to study in Cambridge out of their own pockets.

They also did not put on a show because they were a few years younger, and Confucius respectfully called Xiang Lu, who was only seven years old, a teacher.

He is definitely not as good as Confucius, and Chen Muwu must be much more powerful than Xiang Lu.

After all, his academic achievements and status are there, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the person who knows the most about physics in China.

Chen Muwu's order for Shi Ruwei to go to London with him this time was not a whim, but he had already begun to pave the way.

After arriving at Cambridge University, he arranged for Shi Ruwei to follow the class and make up some theoretical knowledge.

In the Cavendish laboratory, Chen Muwu also entrusted him to Kapitsa, the assistant director of the Department of Magnetism, and Stoner, who was known for his research on magnetism, whom he had met through electron experiments outside the nucleus.

Shi Ruwei will become a magnetism master in China in the future, and Chen Muwu feels that it is better not to change his trajectory.

As for the Nobel Prize arranged for Zhao Zhongyao, he had already thought about it, of course, it was the unfortunate positron, which he missed in his previous life, and he had to get it back in this life.

And Chen Muwu also predicted the existence of positrons in his paper, before he proposed this concept himself, and then found it with his colleagues, which is a very reasonable thing, right?

This time it was rejected, and Oppenheimer didn't say anything.

It's just that this refusal made his horns dig deeper and deeper, thinking that the reason why Chen Muwu didn't choose him was because he couldn't speak Chinese.

If he can learn Chinese as soon as possible and communicate with Chen Muwu unimpeded, maybe he will choose himself next time.

After the party that night, Chen Muwu simply moved into an empty room upstairs at Mrs. Brown's house, where he planned to stay temporarily for two or three days before leaving Cambridge University.

Because he was a little scared lately, Einstein, who knew which room he lived in at Trinity College, would talk to him all night again.

Fortunately, Einstein must not have imagined that Chen Muwu had another place to settle down at Cambridge University.

Mrs. Brown welcomed Chen Muwu's return, and asked him directly and unabashedly when the round-faced George would be able to come to Cambridge again.

"Soon, soon, when the summer vacation comes, I will write a letter to invite him to Cambridge to play, and come to see you by the way."

Chen Muwu said so, but what he was thinking in his heart was that it was estimated that Ye Gongchao didn't want to see himself in the recent period, and he didn't want to see any letters he wrote to him - unless it was the royalty money distributed to him.

Before leaving, he also received a telegram from Sweden, from the same person as Marcus Jr., the agent of the Wallenberg family whom the Swedish crown prince had introduced to him.

He asked Chen if he had been at Cambridge University recently, and if he was, he would come soon to discuss with him about the establishment of the school.

He immediately sent a reply to the Swedish side, informing Marcus Jr. that he would be in London for the next few months, and that if he came to England, he would not have to come to Cambridge, but to the Davy Faraday laboratory at the Royal Institute.

At the same time, he sent a telegram to Doyle, informing him of his imminent departure.

Chen Muwu, who had arranged everything, and Shi Ruwei, were taken to Cambridge Railway Station on the outskirts of Cambridgeshire by Kapitsa in his Lagonda car a few days later.

Kapitsa, who was arrested early in the morning as a coolie, certainly would not miss any opportunity to make fun of his good friend, and he sarcastically said that Dr. Chen was frightened by Einstein.

Obviously, Cambridge University should be his home stadium, but now the situation is completely reversed.

"You stomp, you're numb!"

Kapitsa is not like Oppenheimer, he does not know Chinese at all and has no desire to learn Chinese at all, and he doesn't know what Chen Muwu said in a bit of anger.

But as a Chongshu person, Shi Ruwei, who knows Chinese and also speaks Wu language, also did not understand, and he thought that Chen Muwu spoke a dialect of Yu, guessing that it might be a curse.

……

When he arrived at the Royal Research Institute, the elder Prague warmly received Chen Muwu and told him that he could use all the instruments and equipment in the low-temperature physics laboratory without the slightest restrictions.

The only thing is that the Royal Institute does not provide accommodation, and if he and Shi Ruwei want to live in London for a few months, they will have to choose to stay in a hotel or, as Mrs. Brown in Cambridgeshire does, rent two rooms from a local landlord.

It's okay to rent a house, but Chen Muwu is afraid that it will not be safe to live in a hotel.

In that small place in Cambridgeshire, Chen Muwu relied on his athletic and academic achievements to accumulate a certain reputation.

Everyone knows that Cambridge University has such a talkative and self-acquainted short Russian, and they all know that there is such a handsome guy as Chen Muwu.

But in London, everything is different.

Although in recent years, the British capital has been overtaken by New York in the United States, losing the title of the world's largest city.

But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the city of London is much larger than Cambridge, and the composition of the population is naturally mixed.

Everyone knows that there is a Chinese doctor in the United Kingdom, who has discovered planets, won the Olympic championship, won the Nobel Prize in physics, and is a fellow of the Royal Society.

Just walking on the street, they may not be able to know that Chen Muwu who appears in front of them is the Chinese man who often appears in the newspaper.

So instead of staying in a hotel, Chen Muwu thought it would be better to find his old acquaintance, Zhu Zhaoxin, the chargé d'affaires in the UK, to do him a favor.

When you live in the legation, you don't have to worry about whether your luggage will be stolen, and you can eat Chinese food every day.

There is also a car to pick up and drop off every day, although there is no national flag or legation plate, but it is safer than walking on the street.

The point is that the legation has no complaints about this, and even they are a little reluctant that Chen Muwu will stay in London for a few more months.

Because the domestic political scene is in chaos now, it is better to hold Dr. Chen's thigh than to choose a side and bet.

Before leaving the Royal Research Institute, Chen Muwu also specially checked whether there were any telegrams or letters to himself.

Sure enough, Marcus Jr. left him a message.

He arrived in London a day before Chen Muwu and left his residence in the city at the Royal Institute.

After getting the news, Chen Muwu didn't dare to slack off, he first sent Shi Ruwei back to Portland Street, and then asked the legation to send a car to send him to find Little Marcus.

When he received this telegram from the Wallenberg family at Cambridge University before, Chen Muwu vaguely felt that there seemed to be a drama in building a school in Sweden.

Now as soon as he met Marcus Jr., the latter told him the good news.

However, he didn't get straight to the point, but talked about Ericsson first.

"Dr. Chen, after meeting with you, I conveyed your proposal to the family. They wavered about doing business with Su Lian, but they also tried to send someone out there and make contact with it.

"Recently, we got the news that there was a real need for various equipment such as telephone exchanges, and the family began to take a stake in Ericsson.

"My father was very impressed with your vision, and when he heard that you were going to be at the school in Stockholm to revitalize education in Sweden while training Chinese students, he decided to support your cause.

"The Wallenberg family intends to provide a plot of land on the outskirts of Stockholm and to set aside 500,000 kroner as a start-up capital for the construction of the first phase of the Prince's College, which we have tentatively named, for the first time to be used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the teaching of Chinese history and culture, and your physics.

"At the same time, we also contacted the Rockefeller Foundation in the United States, and they heard that they were going to build an education, and they were willing to contribute $50,000 as a support for the school."

Since Marcus Jr. opened his mouth to speak, Chen Muwu was very happy that his plan to build a school was about to be implemented so soon.

He had no objection to naming the school after the title of Gustav Adolf, and since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked fame, he was free to do so.

It wasn't until Chen Muwu heard the word foundation that he had a natural feeling of resistance.

Moreover, this foundation is also from the Rockefeller family in the United States.

As soon as people have money, they love to engage in charity in a sanctimonious manner, and medical care and education are the two major directions of charity.

Chen Muwu had heard of this foundation for a long time, first, they helped build the Union Hospital in Shaojing, that is, the one that misdiagnosed Liang Qichao.

Second, Heisenberg went to work under Bohr of the Danish Institute of Theoretical Physics, and it was the Rockefeller Foundation that provided him with travel expenses and bonuses.

It just so happens that one is medical care and the other is education.

When Bohr wanted to invite Chen Muwu to Copenhagen, one of the conditions he put forward was to help him apply for a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.

Although the old Rockefeller is still at the helm of the entire Rockefeller family, the foundation may still maintain its original intention of doing charity.

But it always felt that it wouldn't be long before the Foundation would become part of the American spy network, and Chen Muwu really didn't want to be involved with them so early.

"I don't know you, Mr. Wallenberg, but I'm very resistant to the nouveau riche on the other side of the Atlantic, and I don't really want to be associated with the Americans.

"You just said that the Rockefeller Foundation is going to give $50,000 to help build the school. I did a rough calculation, and it should be less than 200,000 kroner, right?

"In other words, the first investment in this school is about, um, 700,000 kroner?"

Little Marcus nodded: "Dr. Chen, you calculated well. From building materials to renovation to construction teams, our family can help, and the investment of 700,000 kroner is definitely more magnificent than the one in Copenhagen! ”

It seems that the Wallenberg family had done a lot of research in the early days, and they even went to neighboring Denmark to inspect Bohr's Institute for Theoretical Physics.

"I don't think the Americans have to pay as much as half a million crowns without the money of the Americans.

"My idea is that I should come up with twenty-five thousand pounds, which is probably less than four hundred thousand crowns, and then you will make up the rest."

"Dr. Chen, do you have any other demands for such a large sum of money?"

"That's right, I'll tell you, Monsieur Wallenberg, I want fifty-one percent of the shares in this school, in other words, I want to have a say in the management."

It seems that Chen Muwu's money accounts for more than half of this expenditure, but don't forget, the Wallenberg family also provides an additional piece of land!

And the school will definitely have follow-up investment in the future, I don't know if Chen Muwu will continue to appear when the time comes, he wants 51% of the shares, which is really a bit too domineering.

Marcus Jr. was a little undecided.

At the same time, he didn't understand what Chen Muwu was thinking in his heart, if the Americans didn't take their money for nothing, what did he have to do if he wanted to be the wronged boss?

"This ...... Dr. Chen, I can't make the decision, I guess I have to discuss it with my family again. ”

"Oh yes, I want to add one more thing," Seeing Marcus Jr.'s hesitation, Chen Muwu, who was getting more and more excited just now, realized that he had forgotten to say a little, "I only need twenty percent of the fifty-one percent of the shares...... Yes, twenty-five years. After twenty-five years, I will transfer these shares unconditionally to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As for what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will do when the time comes, it has nothing to do with me. ”

The time limit of 25 years is the result given by Chen Muwu after careful calculation.

In 1950, Chen Muwu's good friend, the Crown Prince of Sweden, will ascend the throne as the new king of Sweden.

And at that time, it is estimated that Chen Muwu will completely leave Europe, where he has lived for nearly 30 years, and return to China with his students and various instruments, so this time is just right.

But little Marcus didn't know the twists and turns, and he thought that Chen Muwu wanted to live the addiction of being a principal.

And once he has been twenty-five years, he is really greedy enough.

Even if Chen Muwu proposed this concession condition, Marcus Jr. still couldn't make a final decision.

He said that he would definitely convey Chen Muwu's meaning to his family and bring him a new reply as soon as possible.

When he met with Marcus Jr. this time, Chen Muwu was very happy to learn that the school had made great progress.

But at the same time, he has a new trouble, that is, where to get so much money?

His main source of funds now is a few bonuses such as the Nobel Prize and the Hughes Medal.

Add in the royalties of a few books, and you can only draw 15,000 pounds at most.

This is basically Chen Muwu's entire net worth, and it is still a full 10,000 pounds away from the cow he blew out to Marcus Jr.

Could it be that this time I really want to pretend to be a god stick who came to England from the Far East and teach Daoer and their rich Kaizi to practice qigong?
