Although Chen Muwu has always been doing his best to build the school, he also seeks the help of the Wallenberg family's little Marcus from time to time.

But since the school was given the title of prince, the first superintendent of this school naturally could not be anyone other than the crown prince of Sweden.

Chancellor, or Chancellor, is a permanent position that exists in most European universities.

If we use the analogy of the United Kingdom as a school, then the superintendent of the school is the king of England.

Nominally, the Superintendent is the head of a school, but in reality, it is nothing more than an honorary position.

It is equivalent to the virtual head of the school, and basically has no actual power to manage the school.

For example, the current Chancellor of Cambridge University, Belfort, who once served as the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, and then retired from the front-line management position because of his old age, and was not only given the title of Lord, a hereditary nobleman, but also held an honorary position such as the Chancellor of Cambridge University.

And the "prime minister" with real power in the school is the school's Vice Chancellor.

Vice does not mean "vice" here, but "agent".

Vice Chancellor replaces the school supervisor to manage the school's leadership, academics and day-to-day administration, and he is the real person in charge of the school.

However, as the person who contributed the most to the establishment of Prince College, Chen Muwu did not serve as the acting superintendent of the school.

Rather than dedicating his energy to other miscellaneous things, he wants to focus on teaching and academic research.

The only place where Chen Muwu has contact with the management of Prince College is that he is one of the shareholders of Prince College.

However, this school is not for profit, and even because of the free education policy, Chen Muwu, a shareholder, has to continue to pour money into it from his own other industries.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that he is not so much a shareholder as the owner of the Prince College.

Students, teachers, and guests from all walks of life who came to attend the opening ceremony today have already taken their seats in the auditorium of Prince College.

Prince Gustav, the Crown Prince of Sweden, is also unlikely to be absent from such a major event as the first opening ceremony of the Prince's College.

And as the superintendent of the Prince's College, he has to take the stage to speak.

Seeing his good friend Chen Muwu backstage, the Swedish crown prince walked over with a smile.

"Chen, congratulations, the school that has been planned for so long is finally on the right track today!"

It was also in Stockholm, but this time for Chen Muwu, who was backstage in the auditorium of the Prince's College, was more nervous than the time he received the Nobel Prize backstage at Stockholm City Hall.

Seeing that the Swedish crown prince who congratulated him stretched out his hand, Chen Muwu shook hands with him and said with a wry smile: "In other people's schools, in your own school, it is different to speak on stage. I hope today's opening ceremony will go smoothly, and don't make any mistakes. ”

The crown prince of Sweden, who often replaces his old father, who visits various places and attends various events, has long been experienced and seen a lot of such big scenes.

He comforted Chen Muwu, who was "embarrassed at this moment": "Relax, we have done all the preparations, and there will be no problem."

"By the way, speaking of which, I have prepared a gift for you, and I have already sent someone to transport it to the Prince's College today. If that's all right, you'll be able to see it when the next commencement ceremony is over. ”

"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for letting you break the bank again."

"Eh, you're welcome? Don't forget, I'm the Superintendent of Prince College, and of course I want the school to get better and better. ”

Since the Swedish crown prince didn't say it, Chen Muwu didn't ask what the gift he prepared was.

Anyway, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, so you can see it later.

A staff member came to inform them that it was about to be the time for the opening ceremony, and asked these people in the backstage to hurry up and attend the next event.

Chen Muwu and the Crown Prince of Sweden no longer chatted about some things, but walked out of the backstage with others and came to the rostrum of the auditorium to take a seat.

At present, there is no "Welcome March" that often appears at various conferences, and the kind of excitation film horn that is very popular in later generations is still in the embryonic period of being invented, and it will take more than ten years to enter the stage of large-scale popularization and use.

There was no live band in the auditorium, so when everyone came out, there was no light-hearted music.

However, seeing the Swedish crown prince, Chen Muwu, Marcus Jr. and others appearing on the rostrum one after another, the audience in the auditorium still spontaneously burst into applause.

After the various presentations, Prince Gustav, the most distinguished Crown Prince of Sweden, both in the Prince's Academy and in Sweden, was the first to take the stage to speak.

He walked to the podium with the speech script, took out the inside pocket of his suit and put on his glasses, and then read the speech written by someone else in a serious manner.

In order to take care of all the guests present today, behind the rostrum, someone translated the speech of the Swedish crown prince from Swedish into English, word for word, and then Shi Ruwei translated the English into Chinese word for word.

The speech of the Swedish crown prince was nothing more than some very decent and high-sounding clichés, and he first thanked Chen Muwu and the Wallenberg family represented by Marcus Jr. for their support for the successful establishment of this school.

He went on to talk about the great benefits of the establishment of the Prince's College for raising the level of science throughout Sweden.

This passage made Chen Muwu, who was sitting on the rostrum, more familiar and familiar the more he listened, as if he was listening to a report on investment promotion in a certain place, and he was the "capital" that the local leaders had brought in after all the hardships.

- Although he brought this "capital" to Stockholm not with money, but with knowledge.

Next, the Crown Prince of Sweden, as the school supervisor, changed his words and began to persuade the first batch of students from the Prince's College sitting in the audience to come all the way to Sweden and study hard and not disappoint the efforts made by everyone to create this school.

At the end of the speech, what the Swedish crown prince said was even sublimated.

He said that the establishment of the Prince College represents the in-depth cooperation and exchanges between China and Sweden in the field of education, and has built a platform for people-to-people exchanges and scientific and technological cooperation between China and Sweden.

He has full confidence in the mission and vision of the Academy, and believes that he will make an important contribution to the cooperation between China and Sweden in the fields of education, science and technology and innovation.

If it weren't for the fact that the Swedish crown prince is a professional who has seen countless winds and waves, the words that come out of his mouth are different.

Chen Muwu felt that even if he gave himself 800 brains and 800 mouths, he might not be able to speak so beautifully.

Just when he thought that the speech of the Crown Prince of Sweden was about to end, he didn't expect him to continue.

He also hoped that the students would succeed in their studies at Prince's College, which would become a link and bridge for friendly exchanges and cooperation between China and Sweden in the future.

After the Swedish crown prince's speech, regardless of whether the audience sitting below was true or false, the audience applauded thunderously anyway.

Chen Muwu also slapped his hands hard, he really admired that the Swedish crown prince was able to say a cliché without leaking.

After a few more processes, Chen Muwu was also invited to the microphone and spoke on stage.

Because most of the people sitting below were teachers and students from China, Chen Muwu simply used his native language, Chinese, to speak.

This situation is exactly the opposite of just then, Chen Muwu speaks Chinese, Shi Ruwei translates it into English word for word, and then the local staff in Stockholm translates from English to Swedish.

Regarding what he said on stage in front of so many students and teachers, Chen Muwu has been thinking about it for a long time and has also made several drafts.

However, the eldest brother is uneducated, and a sentence of Woc goes all over the world, no matter how he writes, he can't write a speech that satisfies him.

In the end, Chen Muwu finally pondered the taste, as a science and engineering practitioner who studied physics, he would never be able to write an inaugural speech like the one when Lin was the president of Shaojing University in the former Qing Dynasty, and his speech would never be included in the middle school Chinese textbook.

Of course, on an occasion like the Prince's College, it is indeed inappropriate to mention the Tsai who gave that speech.

It's not because there are Swedes from Stockholm in the audience who don't know who Chua is.

It's because in those tragedies in the spring and summer of 1927, Cai also supported it.

Most of the audience are enthusiastic young people from China who are dedicated to serving the country, and his mention of the name of the executioner Cai at this juncture is likely to cause disgust and dissatisfaction among these teachers and students.

Chen Muwu also had the heart to explain to these students how to "predict" the development of the domestic and international situation in the next one to two decades, and to understand that China would not get better and better because of the victory of the Northern Expedition and the assumption of power by the Shenjing government.

It is just a matter of turning the agents of imperialism from the old warlords scattered throughout the country into the new compradors of the present day.

And the imperialist countries behind these new-style compradors are still dying, surging undercurrents under the seemingly calm lake, all sharpening their knives and planning further actions.

Chen Muwu also wanted to talk about the incident that happened in Jiyi last year, but this time he took into account that the people sitting on and off the stage were not entirely Chinese, and that the speech he delivered at the opening ceremony today would probably be compiled into a transcript by journalists tomorrow, published in a local newspaper in Stockholm, and then reprinted by newspapers in other countries around the world.

In this way, the future international situation that he "predicted" would spread to all parts of the world along with the newspapers.

When I first saw his predictions, many people might have dismissed them.

But when things develop step by step, they are completely in line with what he said in the newspaper, and it is estimated that many people will pay attention to this matter and re-open the newspaper that originally contained Chen Muwu's remarks.

However, Chen Muwu didn't want to show his edge, he just wanted to hide his clumsiness.

After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to ask too much of himself on the matter of the speech, and he estimated that the audience present did not care about what he said on stage.

Chen Muwu even put himself in the audience's shoes and thought about it.

When he himself went to college, every time he went to the Rausch meeting, when he met relevant leaders on the stage, he secretly played with his mobile phone in his seat.

Chen Muwu felt that there was no need to write his speech into more than 10,000 words, he only needed to be "sincere".

So he didn't bring any speeches at all, but walked up to the podium by himself.

"You have gathered from China to the sea and traveled thousands of miles from the sea to Stockholm, Sweden, not to the Prince's College to listen to all kinds of long speeches.

"So many people have made so many speeches just now, I guess you are all very tired, right?

"Don't hide it from everyone, even when I sit on the stage, I am drowsy to listen.

"Now that it's finally my turn to speak, I decided to keep it simple and just share one song I like with my classmates."

As soon as Chen Muwu's words mentioned the song, not to mention others, Xu Zhimo, who was sitting in the teacher's seat under the stage, immediately became energetic.

Perhaps others may not know it well, but as a witness to Chen Muwu's speech at Shaojing University in 1923, Xu Zhimo knows that Chen Muwu also has first-hand music creation skills.

He not only composed a tune for Hu Shi's modern poem "Hope", but also used the piano in the lecture hall to play and sing it by himself.

The score of this song was later published in the "Journal of Beiqi University", and it was widely circulated on the campus of Shao University, and even in the entire universities of Shaojing.

Xu Zhimo felt that Chen Muwu was likely to create a new song again, but the answer he gave made Xu Zhimo a little disappointed.

"When you graduate, you may sing the song "Farewell" written by Master Hongyi, but I prefer another piece of "Evening Song" by my husband. This song is also a song that I have been listening to since the enlightenment period, and the lyrics in it still touch me to this day.

"I'm sure there are a lot of people here who can sing this song, and even if they can't remember all the lyrics, they can still hum along with the tune.

"I hope you don't be embarrassed, you can sing this song with me, and carefully understand the meaning of this simple song."

After that, Chen Muwu walked down to the podium set up in a corner, walked to the center of the rostrum, stood up straight, and sang:

"Time is like flowing water, and after a while, I will return from school.

"Let's think about it for a while, do we understand our homework today? Have you ever violated what the teacher said?

"Parents want their children to return, and we don't wander all the way. In the future, it will all depend on our generation to govern the country and level the world!

"Everyone work hard, students, see you tomorrow!"

The students in the audience also echoed, singing louder and louder.
