Homecoming of Rebirth

Excellent grades are not enough for them to have such an honor, it requires "strength".

It is true that Stanford is very open and can accommodate students from all over the world.But similarly, Stanford is also very conservative, as distinct as the country it is based on.

For example, Wu Xiaojian and Cheng Lele, Stanford can accept these foreign students with open arms, but they will never be able to join those top student clubs with a long history and mysterious colors.

Those who can be favored by top scholars like Levistan must have the ability to surpass ordinary people in all aspects.

In the United States, these abilities cannot be cultivated by ordinary families.

Just like the flowers on the Upper East Side in "Gossip Girl," Dan from Brooklyn can't touch it even if he is scarred.

It is an invisible gap that is daunting.

Most of the elite training camps are boys and girls from elite families, even wealthy families.

There are a total of 24 students, almost all of which are like this.

In addition to excellent academic performance, the family background is also rich or expensive.

It's just a charter flight, anyone who is extremely excited is an outlier.

Everyone maintained just the right calmness and indifference, and also showed just the right expectation and just right respect for the upcoming exchange journey.

Of course, if you read this as a model of quality and humility, you would be very wrong.

They don't write arrogance and prejudice on their faces like in film and television dramas.But this does not mean that the arrogance and prejudice in the bones have not grown.

The muqiang thinking and gangster logic from the culture cannot be eliminated, and has nothing to do with elegance.

……

The front row not far from the students.

Paulson allowed the flight attendant to help him fasten his seat belt, smiling as he watched the hot white girl take away the whiskey glass in front of her.

But after the flight attendant left, she rearranged the folds of the suit under the seat belt with a flatter expression.

Looking outside the porthole, it was completely different from the backwardness and darkness of the American metropolis, and then glanced at Levistein and Gene Sharp who were sitting opposite.

He smiled and said, "Jean, are you sure this trip to China is worth it?"

Tan Tanshou said: "If you want their big data technology, I can definitely obtain it from a commercial perspective through cooperation with Sanshi. There is no need to fly here in person."

Gene Sharp had a special status, and Paulson knew very well that he was a dangerous guy, and it was best not to provoke him.

Therefore, Paulson maintained his superficial politeness.

But he only mentioned the matter of big data, but kept silent about Sharp's other purpose of coming to China, which is to be a peacemaker.

In this regard, Sharp did not deliberately emphasize that the purpose of his trip is not just big data.On the contrary, as a terrifyingly calm person, he completely understood Paulson's state of mind.

In the confrontation between Silicon Valley and Wall Street, Paulson has no reason to seek peace.

The current situation is very good for Wall Street.Why give your opponent a chance to survive?

He smiled and said, "Big data, this word is very interesting."

Paulson frowned, "Interesting?"

Gene Sharp smiled even more, "Mr. Paulson, don't you think it's funny?"

"The United States defines the Internet, defines IT, and defines almost all terms in the modern electronics industry and digitization."

"But big data is defined by China. Moreover, it seems that we Americans have acquiesced in this right to define."

Paulson, "..."

Suddenly a little displeased, Gene Sharp's words were sharp and sarcasm.

But Paulson's unhappiness came from the fact that he seemed convinced.

Yes, defined by the Chinese, this is a problem that is difficult for people to accept.

At this time, Gene also noticed the slight change in Paulson's expression, and said: "Mr. Paulson, in fact, big data technology has extraordinary significance not only to me, but also to Wall Street and the financial control of the world." , is also crucial.”

"We only know one noun and one concept now, but the Chinese are undoubtedly ahead of the curve."

"They have already accumulated some experience in algorithms in this field, as well as statistical applications."

"And these experiences are the most valuable. They can play a key role in my field of work and in financial forecasting."

Gene seems to be emphasizing the usefulness of big data to the financial industry, but in fact he also wants to seek a common language and cooperation without touching Paulson's sensitive nerves.

It's just a pity that Qi Lei didn't hear Gene's comments on big data.

Well, Qi Lei still overestimated Gene Sharp after all.

Now he only thinks of using big data for financial forecasting and espionage operations, but he has not realized its use in the field of communication.

At this time, Levistan on the side couldn't listen anymore. He really didn't have a good impression of this Gene Sharp.

Levistein disliked Gene very much, thinking that he was an insidious guy, especially in the name of his academic exchanges to do things he thought were important.

This touched old Levi's self-esteem! !

not to mention……

"Mr. Paulson!" Old Levi couldn't hold back, "Even now, I still think this trip to China is a waste of time!"

"As you said, if you want technology, you can get it through commercial means! Why let my children come to this country?"

The Beiguang Young Eagle Class is indeed excellent, but it is far from being so good that Levistan, an academic god, brings Stanford's elite here to actively seek exchanges.

Especially, it is still a class led by a defeated general.

Just that little brat Qi Lei, how many times has he been defeated by the old man?Is it amazing to teach a bunch of younger kids who can write papers?

Do I still have to visit him?

Old Levi is very upset, please!

The enthusiasm and friendliness of Qi Lei and treating old Levi as an old friend of the Chinese people are completely opposite attitudes.

Regarding old Levi's complaints, Paulson smiled lightly, but didn't say anything.

He didn't care about Levi's dissatisfaction, he only knew that Levi's fundamental position was the same as his.

He glanced at Bill, De Er and others diagonally opposite.Xin said that compared to Gene's conspiracy, he would rather let Levistein and his children let that bastard boy be crushed and completely crushed academically.

That's what Paulson expected.

Well, this is an old guy with a grudge.

He still can't forget Qi Lei's annoying face on the phone not long ago, when he got a cheap offer and acted like a good boy, but finally blackmailed him.

Involuntarily getting excited, he turned around sharply, completely ignoring that the suit under the seat belt had been twisted to an unbearable extent.

Loudly to a handsome boy in the back row: "Christopher!! We are going to your school in China."

"After getting off the plane, can you tell me what kind of school Beiguang is?"

After hearing this, Chen Wenjie in the back row rolled his eyes imperceptibly, and said in his heart: This old lady is pretty, she is not a joke!

On the surface, he quickly flattered, "Uncle Paulson, that's a terrible place. I can't think of any redeeming features except for the girl."

It caused the students in the elite training camp to burst into laughter.

Chen Wenjie felt quite helpless watching it, the naive American youth, you have to be ruled by Brother Shitou...

I hope you can still laugh when you come back.

……

……

Beiguang is a university founded after the founding of the People's Republic of China. At first, it was just a broadcasting training class under the radio and television, and it developed to the current scale bit by bit.

So, what do you think Beiguang has from the perspective of campus and facilities?What kind of cultural atmosphere?

It's really lacking.

It is incomparable with famous century-old schools like Tsinghua University and Peking University, and the school environment lacks the atmosphere of the times and the sense of tranquility.

In addition, Dong Beiguo is a pragmatic principal, and everything is built based on practical standards.

What's the use of engaging in nonsense?

Even the campus environment is like that, let alone in the eyes of Stanford students.

After getting off the plane, Paulson and his gang were all arranged in a high-end hotel in the city.

The elite training camp, as well as Levistan, were stuffed into the bus by the teachers and student representatives who were in charge of picking up the airport in Beiguang. They walked all the way from the airport to the fifth ring road and headed for the suburbs of Jingdong!

As I said before, the surrounding area of ​​Dingfuzhuang, where Beiguang is located, is really a big rural area these days.

Those kids at Stanford felt chilled watching it in the car.

Rural college?Why is it so remote?Isn't it the best media professional college in China?

After entering Beiguang, I couldn’t help examining it, and finally came to a conclusion: Why did Stanford engage in exchanges with such a simple Chinese university?

Completely incomprehensible.

In the eyes of Beiguang students, all the teaching buildings, tree-lined avenues, and small flower beds are good, but in the eyes of these elites, they have become symbols of dilapidation and simplicity.

Then, when they reached the old building, they were even more dumbfounded, and even Levistan was speechless.

Why is this school so poor?

Can we really cultivate excellent communication talents?Doubt it! !

Well, just imagine, even private chartered planes are commonplace. The Stanford high-achieving students in the school apartment are like villas, thrown into the dilapidated building with the walls peeled off. It takes a bit of psychological contrast to change anyone.

Chen Wenjie couldn't accept it anymore, and said in his heart, Old Dong's heart is dark!How can I say it is a homecoming, right?Just live in this crappy place for me?He even wanted to go back to 418 and get tired of being together with his brothers.

And the other "elites" have deep sympathy for the poor "third world university".

In addition, the two Beiguang students who were in charge of the reception happened to be not Chinese, but from Japan and South Korea, so they couldn't help being a little more "close".

Someone ran to a small-eyed Korean girl to get close.

"What's your name?"

"Li Huizhen."

"Korean?"

"Yes!"

"This school..."

I mean, it's too hard, right?As a student from a developed country, how can you come here to study abroad?

Li Huizhen naturally understood what he meant, and said to herself, it's terrible to be uneducated!

Do you know "Humble Chamber Ming"?

"Mountains are not high, there are immortals, there are bright", do you understand?

See you hypocritical?

This is called hardship?Isn't that great?

Besides, what happened to the hardship?Difficulty can torture you to death!

With a dry laugh, "Beiguang is an excellent university."

The white boy on the opposite side glanced at his mouth indifferently, looking at the dilapidated scenes that can only be seen in horror movies and black neighborhoods, "I'm sorry, this is not the same as the famous Chinese school I imagined."

"Of course, I understand it myself, and I don't mean to discriminate."

Li Huizhen couldn't listen anymore, Xiao Qi's instructor was right, a bitch is hypocritical!

(Qi Lei swears to God, he never said it, it was all made up by this girl!)

Li Huizhen was a bit over the top, and the instructor Xiaoqi carefully taught, coupled with the stubborn personality of the Koreans, they were intertwined together.

I thought, dare to despise our learning conditions?

On the surface, he smiled neither humble nor overbearing, "Student, what's your name?"

"Matthew."

"Which discussion group do you belong to?"

"Globalization Processes and Communication."

The one-month exchange also had topics and processes, and the theme was: "Unseen Great Changes in a Century and New Ideas for Communication".
