Chapter 858 Visiting Columbia University
Before going to Columbia University, Su Chen still went to visit his father-in-law, Eaton.

In other words, it has been a long time since he visited Eaton. Although he would visit Eaton every time he came to the United States, he did not come to the United States very often.

And it doesn't come very often.

He went to Eaton's house alone, and after dinner, Eaton took him to the study.

"I heard that Valentine visited you?" Eaton asked, talking, and lighting a cigarette, and the smell of smoke pervaded the air instantly.

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, I heard that he met you before he visited me. Originally, he planned to set up a foundation with me, but I think the time is not very suitable now, because the Chinese market is not yet open."

Eaton pondered for a while, and said: "Although there are advantages to establishing a foundation through cooperation, it is undeniable that there are also disadvantages, because if major decisions must be agreed by all partners, it will cause delays and mistakes in decision-making. "

"Yes, I also have this consideration, and I either don't care about things, or I have to manage things myself."

Su Chen said, "Although many of Mr. Valentine's decisions are impeccable, it is precisely because of this that I am unwilling to partner with him."

If there were no such resources, Su Chen might have partnered with Valentine to establish an investment foundation, but he already had such resources, so naturally he would not establish such an investment foundation together.

And he also knows which companies will develop into giants in the future, so the partnership is meaningless, and there is no need to distribute part of the money to others.

"How long are you going to be in America like this?" Eaton asked.

"It's only about a month or two, and then I have to go to England." Su Chen said, "Because there are still some industries I want to get back, I also want to go to Germany by the way."

"Well, it seems that you are indeed busy." Eaton smiled, "But it's good to be busy, if you have been sitting in the office waiting for others to report on your work, I am worried that you will be lifted up by the people below.

But now it seems that you are already a qualified entrepreneur, and you don't need too much guidance from me, an elder. Maybe I will work for you after I retire in the future. "

"My father-in-law, you really know how to joke. Even after you retire, the combined income of all the companies is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in style." Su Chen disagrees, "And you probably have to work in Wells Fargo for a long time .”

"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to talk to my father-in-law." Eaton said, "Have you paid attention to the US presidential election recently?"

"I just came to the United States and didn't pay attention." Su Chen asked, "Are there many people participating in the election now?"

Eaton said: "Yes, so I think if you invest now is the most appropriate time, maybe they know you have come to New York and they will come to visit you."

"Because I may not have that much time to go to Washington for the time being, if Xiaobu has time to come to New York, I can ask him to come and find me." Su Chen said, "The promise I made to them before is still valid."

"OK, I will inform Xiaobu to come to New York as soon as possible." Eaton nodded, "However, since this is not a play, you should know what I mean."

"clear."

Su Chen nodded, "You ask Xiao Bu to come to New York. It just so happens that I have something to tell him. Please ask him to come over as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll let him come over as soon as possible." The old man agreed without hesitation.

However, it is not so easy to come to New York as soon as possible, and the time alone takes a day or two.

It just so happened that Su Chen had almost finished his visit at Columbia University, because his next stop was going to Boston, and he would not go to Texas again.

It is most suitable for Xiaobu to come to New York.

It happened to be able to talk to him about the Chinese workers, and I believe that Lao Bu will definitely promote such a matter.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Su Chen offered to leave.

Eaton naturally did not keep him.

……

Return to the hotel, rest for one night, and depart for Columbia University the next day.

In addition to the bodyguards and assistants, the sister-in-law also followed. She seemed to be keen to record certain things.

Columbia University is one of the most important research institutions in the United States. It invented the brain-computer interface, laser, maser, and nuclear magnetic resonance, and the Manhattan Project also originated from this university.

It's just awesome.

Even so, for the arrival of this young economist, Columbia still expressed a warm welcome and organized a grand reception ceremony.

The principal of Columbia University led some faculty members and a group of students to greet him at the school gate, just like Professor Ayler's visit to Tsinghua University.

Because the economist is better than young, and things like academics do not depend on age, but on talent.

Academia often pays attention to talent. If your talent is not good, then you may really not be good.

Getting to know a young scholar is something that many universities are keen to do.

As soon as Su Chen came down, the principal of Columbia University led the crowd to greet him.

"Su, you are welcome. To be honest, we were very happy when we learned that you came to our school for friendly exchange activities."

There was a smile on the principal's face, "We all hope that you, an oriental wizard, can tell our students some difficult problems in economics."

"Learning from each other, I still have a lot to learn, so I plan to communicate with you this time." Su Chen said with a smile, and at the same time met the professors present under the leadership of the principal.

In addition to shaking hands with the principal and professors, Su Chen also shook hands with the students present one by one.

These students not only held books and cameras, wanted Su Chen to sign and take pictures, but even made preparations like a celebrity meeting.

Just as Su Chen came in front of a female student, a roar came from the crowd behind: "Go to hell, you damn yellow-skinned monkey!"

Then, a shot rang out.

The scene was chaotic in an instant.

All the people present were panicked, not knowing where the bullets were shot, and they all looked for places to avoid the bullets. The scene suddenly became chaotic, with continuous stampedes and wailing!
"Security, security!"

"Damn it, why would anyone shoot?"

"Get the scene under control!"

"..."

Hearing a gunshot suddenly, Jason and Zhang Xiangqian immediately protected the assistant and secretary and moved them to a safe place.

Seeing the chaos where Su Chen was, Xue Fang hurriedly said: "My brother-in-law is still over there, you go and protect him."

Because now I can't see what's going on over there, and I don't know who was shot at all.

So Xue Fang was worried.

"It's also very chaotic now, we can't go there, because we don't know who was shot, and we don't know who the murderer is." Jason said, "So, our most important thing now is to protect you."

Xue Fang had no choice but to keep staring at the place where Su Chen was standing just now, hoping that he would be fine...
