Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 436: Potential of a Diplomat? For Chinese Students!
If some things are explained too much, they lose their charm.

To be fair, if Bao Guowei had the ability and opportunity to overthrow these Western capitalist forces who are just sitting there doing nothing, he would certainly do it without hesitation.

But Bao Guowei is not a naive person. He does not think that the cultural system built up by the Western world over hundreds of years can be completely destroyed through just one or two theories.

The collapse of a building never happens overnight.

If you try to force historical change, you will only bring disaster upon yourself. Even if the building collapses, you will inevitably be buried under the ruins.

After all, individual power is limited.

However, this does not mean that Bao Guowei will give up his efforts.

On the contrary, he did not give up his original intention. He used a spark to ignite or accelerate the momentum of world change. This is his eternal goal.

After coming out of the cafe, Bao Guowei felt tired all over.

At this moment, no matter how rich the cultural heritage of the cafe behind him was, Bao Guowei was not in the mood to look at it.

Bao Guowei felt that he had to reduce his contact with politicians in the future as it was really too much trouble.

Cao Yanhai had been driving and waiting at the corner of the street. He had received instructions from Bao Guowei before that if Bao Guowei did not come out within two hours, he would break in and rescue people, so his face was full of anxiety at the moment.

Cao Yanhai finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Bao Guowei come out safely.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

Bao Guowei let out a breath and slumped down in the passenger seat.

Cao Yanhai curled his lips and couldn't help complaining, "Master, you finally came out. If it was later, I would have gone in and torn down this cafe."

Bao Guowei smiled helplessly and said, "Didn't I tell you that the probability of this conversation being safe is over 90%. I never fight a battle that I'm not sure of!"

"I mean, shouldn't these British guys beg us? Why do they sound a bit threatening? Damn it, instead of inviting us to London to entertain them, they are holding a Hongmen Banquet?"

Cao Yanhai obviously didn't understand and kept cursing.

Bao Guowei did not explain so much. He knew that talking about political games with a rough man like Cao Yanhai was like talking to a cow. It would be better to close his eyes and rest.

Not long after I returned to the hotel to rest, Gu Weijun came to visit me.

He apparently learned that Bao Guowei was about to leave France, so he hurriedly met Bao Guowei with a bunch of information.

The two found a secluded corner.

Gu Weijun smiled and said, "Finally I caught up with you. I thought you were leaving France today."

"Not so fast." Bao Guowei explained helplessly. "I still need to deal with some things. I regretted that I was so quick to talk that I got into trouble now."

Gu Weijun narrowed his eyes. He had been following the recent news and could obviously guess something.

"What's going on? Are the French authorities giving Bingwen trouble? Do you need my help?"

Seeing Gu Weijun's concerned look, Bao Guowei couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He smiled and said, "It's not the French. The authorities are eager for me to leave Paris as soon as possible. In this way, they will have less pressure. Mr. Gu, you know that the current Paris authorities are mainly conservatives."

Gu Weijun was well versed in politics and immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter.

He couldn't help but remind her, "Politics is a complicated thing. Bingwen, you'd better not get involved in it. You've done so many things and you've tried your best. You don't need to blame yourself anymore."

"Sir, I wish you had said this before I arrived in London," Bao Guowei said humorously.

He now feels a little regretful. Europe is currently in a period of turmoil, with various political forces emerging one after another. If one is not careful, one will fall into the abyss.

Bao Guowei did not deliberately interfere in politics, but the theories he put forward were constantly attracting the clutches of politics.

If he had the chance to do it again, he would rather choose to write a book on macroeconomic theory than to show off at a British royal banquet.

There is a price to pay for being pretentious!
Gu Weijun couldn't help but be a little stunned. He didn't expect that Bao Guowei had experienced so many things during this period of time.

He consoled her, "Bingwen, you don't have to worry too much. With your current international status, unless you do something too outrageous, the authorities of other countries should not be hostile to you.

A reputation of persecuting scholars can cause a country to lose countless talents."

After the Industrial Revolution, science and technology developed rapidly, and scientists and scholars undoubtedly became the most valuable assets of every country.

No one will complain about the lack of scientists.

Because there is no guarantee that a scientist will help the country invent a scientific machine or theory that can launch the next industrial revolution or change the entire war situation.

"But it seems that Bingwen has experienced more than just this?" Gu Weijun was very good at judging people and could immediately see that Bao Guowei was tired.

In Bao Guowei's heart, Gu Weijun was a friend he could trust, so he briefly told Gu Weijun about his encounter and conversation with Churchill.

After listening to it, even Gu Weijun couldn't help but marvel at it.

"You actually met with Churchill? He's a tough guy!"

Gu Weijun spoke in a meaningful tone, as if he was recalling something. Then he narrowed his eyes, looked at Bao Guowei with a little surprise and said.

"It seems that Bingwen was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Churchill?"

"Mr. Gu, please don't flatter me." Bao Guowei was very depressed.

Gu Weijun supported his chin with his hand, seeming to be thinking about something.

Bao Guowei noticed the exquisite hairstyle on Mr. Gu's head. This high-end and elegant slicked-back hairstyle looked like something that only a diplomat could style.

Could it be that Mr. Gu is also using the Stancon hair oil?
Come to think of it, after I left China, I used up a whole bottle of Stancon and never used this good stuff again.

In the past, Bao Guowei thought that this Stankang hair oil must be a high-end foreign product. Now after going abroad, he understands that there is no such thing as Stankang in the West.
The real Stancon is the Paris perfume factory founded by Li Runtian in Shanghai, which mainly produces perfume, scented powder, hair wax, etc.

As for the relationship between the Paris Perfume Factory and France, I'm afraid there are only two words: Paris.

However, after arriving in Paris, Bao Guowei tried the so-called "high-end goods" in Paris and found that Stancom was still the best.

For some reason, he always had a vague obsession with Si Dankang in his heart.

Bao Guowei was thinking about whether to acquire the Paris perfume factory when he returned to China, when he suddenly heard Gu Weijun's voice.

"I wonder if Bingwen is interested in becoming a diplomat?"

Obviously, Gu Weijun was thinking about this matter just now.

Bao Guowei was a little nervous for a moment. This gentleman had just told him to stay away from politics, and now he was asking him to be a diplomat?
"Hahaha." Gu Weijun laughed a little embarrassedly. "After listening to your conversation with Churchill, I think you are suitable to be a diplomat. If Bingwen joins the country's diplomatic cause, it will definitely change."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but unfortunately I am not interested in this."

Bao Guowei flatly refused. Now that he had become a diplomat, wouldn't that mean he would become a soldier under Chang? How could there be any good thing in working for a bald man?
Gu Weijun did not force it, he just put forward an idea. Seeing Bao Guowei's firm attitude, he did not insist any further.

He smiled and said, "I am not here today to ask you, Bingwen, to join the diplomats, but for something more important."

After that, Gu Weijun took out a dozen documents from his bag and handed them to Bao Guowei. "This is the information I prepared these days. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to set up a scholarship foundation in Europe?"

"Sir, are you ready so soon?"

Bao Guowei was a little surprised. He thought the other party would need some time, but he didn't expect that they had already come up with the plan in just a few days.

Gu Weijun couldn't help but give some advice.

"This is a major event that benefits the country and the people, so it cannot be delayed for even a moment. However, the amount of money involved is huge. If you want to reduce some of the funds, that is fine.

We can discuss the remaining funds with some overseas Chinese and universities in China, and we will be able to raise them eventually.”

Originally, Gu Weijun thought that Bao Guowei just wanted to set up a student aid foundation on his own, and he would definitely have to launch a fundraising campaign and gather support from all sectors of society.

Unexpectedly, after careful investigation, Gu Weijun discovered that Bao Guowei actually wanted to fund all the student aid funds by himself.

This was the first time in Gu Weijun's memory.

After all, the money needed to study abroad is not a small amount.

Especially after Gu Weijun learned about the specific income of the book "To Live" in Europe, he felt that something was wrong.

"I estimate that the book 'To Live' should bring in 60,000 to 70,000 silver dollars a year. This is not a small amount. Bingwen, you should think about it carefully."

Bao Guowei said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I am a casual person. I don't smoke, drink, or perm my hair. It's useless to have so much money. I might as well help my compatriots who are studying. It can be regarded as my small contribution to the country."

Hearing this, even Gu Weijun was somewhat moved. He nodded and said, "Since Bingwen has such an ambition, I will not persuade him any further. I can only thank the overseas students."

After saying this, without waiting for Bao Guowei to speak, Gu Weijun actually stood up and bowed to Bao Guowei.

Bao Guowei was about to stop him, but found that the other party had already finished bowing, and he shook his head helplessly.

To have Gu Weijun bow to me, the money was worth it.

Of course, using the money earned from foreigners to support outstanding Chinese students is a very worthwhile deal if you think about it.

Next, Gu Weijun introduced the preliminary plan of the study abroad foundation to Bao Guowei.

"Let's take the revenue from the book 'To Live' that you sponsored as a benchmark. The revenue is quite good now. According to my statistics, 60,000 to 70,000 silver dollars a year is not a problem. The subsequent revenue will definitely not be that much.

But I think that there must be 50,000 silver dollars in recent years, which is more than enough to use as the capital of the foundation.

Not to mention that we can also seek donations from other channels
The initial plan is to sponsor more than 30 outstanding Chinese students who are studying and working in Europe."

Bao Guowei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder: "30 students? Fifty thousand silver dollars can support so many students?"

It seemed to be completely different from what he had calculated before.

Gu Weijun smiled and explained, "Bingwen, your previous calculation included all the expenses of the students in Europe and calculated them for a full four years.

But you have to know that our international students are not freeloaders. They can work and study on their own. I have many channels here and can help them find some jobs. This way, I can sponsor more students!

There are also tuition fees, boat tickets, etc. These domestic schools and some organizations sometimes provide some funding, so for us, funding 30 students is definitely more than enough. "

Regarding this matter, Gu Weijun gave Bao Guowei a detailed introduction, which could be said to be comprehensive.

Bao Guowei was very glad that he entrusted this matter to Gu Weijun, otherwise he really wouldn't know where to start.

When Gu Weijun left, Bao Guowei saw him off to the door, bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Bao. Our Bao Scholarship Foundation still relies on your strong support."

"Don't say that." Gu Weijun smiled and shook his head. "Bingwen is young, but the character and ability he has shown are really admirable. I hope you can work harder and not go astray!"

There is hope hidden in Gu Weijun's words.

Bao Guowei nodded and said.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Gu."

King George V of England wanted to meet Bao Guowei.

This message was sent from London after meeting Churchill.

Bao Guowei didn't know what happened during that time, but in his opinion, this invitation was probably not dangerous.

If only Churchill hadn't lost his mind.
Originally, Bao Guowei planned to travel around Europe, meet various famous people, and then return in January.

It now seems that I still need to go to the UK first.

After all, the media has already hyped him up as Britain's "savior", plus he received the invitation from George V.

If he didn't go, it would inevitably offend the other party.

So Bao Guowei secretly bought a train ticket to London.

France was also in trouble, but fortunately, French President Gaston Doumergue and Bao Guowei maintained a tacit understanding and secretly suppressed the momentum of media propaganda.

In addition, many French people were still in the festive atmosphere and did not expect that the "savior" they were talking about had been "intercepted" by the British.

Before leaving, Bao Guowei unexpectedly met Dewey.

"Bao, we have agreed that you must come to the United States in the future. I am waiting for your visit at Columbia University. I hope I can hear a wonderful speech then."

Dewey looked very energetic, but he was reluctant to let go of Bao Guowei's hand, as if he was reluctant to let go.

Bao Guowei smiled and said, "I will definitely remember what Mr. Dewey said, and I will consult you more when I have the chance."

"You have to understand that education is extremely important. I see a different learning philosophy in you. If you have the opportunity to study philosophy and education with me, you will definitely gain a lot."

Looking at the enthusiastic Dewey, Bao Guowei's expression was a little unnatural.

Is it possible that I have the physique of an "academic succubus"? Why does every scholar want to take me as a disciple?
It’s exactly the same as when I was in China.

After once again rejecting the invitation from the president of the University of Paris to become a professor, Bao Guowei took Zhang Nianyue and Cao Yanhai, dressed in disguise, and boarded a train to London.

As soon as he got on the train, Bao Guowei found a novel being sold in the carriage.

It was a cover he had never seen before, but it had a very familiar book title printed on it.

"Rural Teacher"

Zhang Nianyue sighed: "There's a French version so soon?"

Bao Guowei said helplessly: "It seems that the French people's copyright awareness is not very good. I have to find a lawyer!"

Taking advantage of the Christmas season, the book "The Country Teacher" finally spread to France! And it quietly fermented in the entire French novel world!
