【290】Return to Stanford

Holding her breath long ago, Princess Ashley, who had a secret rivalry with Melissa who hadn't met yet, agreed without thinking. Putting on clothes, I was stunned to go to the San Francisco City Hall to finalize the implementation of this new shipyard on the spot!

Melissa's company can make money for Hao, and my Ailong shipyard is certainly not bad!

Ai Shili, who is full of confidence in the technology and workers of her motherland, secretly clenched her small fists, determined to use her fists, not only to let Ailong Shipyard make money for Ailang, share pressure, and solve troubles, but also let Ailong The shipyard will become the largest shipyard in the United States within three years, producing [-] or [-] battleships every year, and it will help Ailo to make great plans for the world...

Fortunately, this was just Ai Shili's silent chanting, otherwise Long Hao heard it, and I don't know whether to feel that the princess's pattern is too big, or to laugh at her naivety and ignorance...

Long Hao couldn't resist Ai Shili's entanglement, so he had to brace his sore waist and accompany the revived Ai Shili to find old Stevenson to help register the company.

I thought this trip would be very smooth, but unexpectedly encountered a little trouble.

Because of the ideological guidance of high-level American leaders and the butterfly effect of Long Hao, the Webb Academy of Shipbuilding and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineering, which were established two years later in history, with the strong support of the U.S. Navy, two months ago, It has been "listed for business" in advance, and as the most important seaport city on the southwestern coast of the United States, San Francisco naturally has to be infiltrated by these two newly established associations.

No, the representatives of the Webb Academy of Shipbuilding came to San Francisco and demanded that the old Stevenson strengthen the review of foreign-controlled shipyards. Coincidentally, Long Hao's application for 'Ailong Shipyard' handed over.

Fortunately, old Stevenson was very skilled and concealed the application form.Avoiding the boastful rookie representative, it took two days to finally get the registration qualification of 'Ailong Shipyard' approved.

After such a long delay, Long Hao came out with the 'business license' and slapped his head. He remembered the breeze left at Kunpeng Shipyard, so he called Daniel and Xiaoniao.I personally went to the bank run by the Rothschild family in San Francisco and extracted 100 kilograms of gold bars.

Keep 20 kilograms in your own residence for backup, and let Daniel send the remaining 80 kilograms to Breeze.

"His name is Leland Stanford. I bought Stanford University from him!"

Looking up, Long Hao saw the green of a primeval forest beckoning to him: "Across the forest in front, there is a ranch behind. The school is built in the ranch, and old Mr. Stanford also lives there."

"Stanford University? Never heard of..."

As soon as I heard that the person who was going to visit was an old man who was almost 70 years old.Ashley's interest immediately halved.

University, ranch, what does this have to do with my Ailong shipyard?

Long Hao was familiar with the road, and soon took the shuttle bus for Stanford University's external communication. The bus fit the track on the ground and shuttled forward in the green maze composed of towering trees.

There are huge leaves and branches on the top of the head, and huge branches pass by. From time to time, curious wild squirrels and deer gather to watch the rumbling locomotive. Passengers often hear the clever calls of birds... This seems to be a magic that only exists in fairy tales. picture.Ashley was amazed.

"The track wasn't there the last time I was here. Is it the newest one?"

Not only Long Hao and Ai Shili were sitting on the bus, but also several students holding books. When they saw Long Hao and the two dressed in casual clothes, although they were surprised by Long Hao's skin and Ai Shili's beauty, they still He replied politely: "This gentleman and lady must not have been in Palo Alto in the past six months? Yes, this track was funded by our university board. As long as you show your student ID, you can take the shuttle bus for free. !"

"Oh, such a good benefit?"

Long Hao pretended not to understand at all, handed over a tip of 5 dollars, and said with a smile: "How many times does this kind of shuttle bus run a day? My girlfriend and I want to go back to San Francisco at night. Will we not miss the bus? "

The white student who answered accepted the tip, saluted Long Hao, and his expression became more eager: "There are 20 classes a day, and there will be classes until nine in the evening at the latest, but if you can't make it in time, you can stay near our university. There are many hotels there, all of which are wooden houses, and the charges are not expensive, and they have a special flavor to live in!"

Seeing that there is a tip, a colder white student next to him also interjected: "Speaking of benefits, if this gentleman is willing to join our university for a year, not only will the tuition be free, but if he passes the exam after one year, he will also be able to pay the tuition fee." Enjoy more benefits!"

There was a strong jealousy in the words of this colder white student, and even Ashley, who didn't know the truth, could smell the sourness.

"Why? Could it be that the name of a physics professor is written on his face, so your school wants to recruit him at all costs?" Ai Shili was very scheming, and she revealed Long Hao's identity as a physics expert in one sentence.

Long Hao, that catching chicken, covered his face with a palm helplessly.

Fortunately, the few students in the car did not hear it, and the indifferent student said: "No reason, it's not because this gentleman was born with a good complexion...Our university board of directors stipulates that as long as it is yellow-skinned If anyone is willing to come to study, the first year's fee is free, and when you prove that you have achieved something in your studies, there will be more generous treatment later on!"

Ai Shili was surprised and said: "Yellow race? Oh, is it possible that the school board of your school is controlled by yellow race?"

"That's not it!"

The first Caucasian who took the tip took the conversation and said: "You won't believe what our school manager said, she is a royal princess from Spain, and I heard that she was recently conferred the title by the Queen of England... She has a The head of the bodyguard is of the yellow race, so everyone said that it is because of that head of the bodyguard that the school directors have a special preference for people of the yellow race!"

"You don't understand this!"

At this time, another student who had been silent all this time spoke up: "What do you mean by favoring the chief guard? The chief guard of the dragon is a person with real skills. Have you read the paper "Quantum Mechanics" that caused a sensation in Europe? Have you read it again? Have you ever tried a black body radiation experiment? You don’t understand anything, you just know gossip!”

Speaking of which, no matter how natural and cute Ai Shili is, she knows who the princess is, and who is the head of the dragon guard.

Hmph, so you bought this Stanford University for Princess Xianlu!

Ashley groaned inwardly.A hand has already been screwed on Long Hao's lower back.

Long Hao's face remained unchanged, but he stretched out a hand to embrace Ai Shili into his arms, and said to the students in the car with a smile: "It seems that thanks to the princess and the chief guard, all the yellow people in this world Do you have the opportunity to continue your studies and get in touch with advanced knowledge? However, there are a lot of people of the yellow race. If you all come to study, I wonder if your school will go bankrupt? Hehehe..."

"No! The reputation of our school is still very small. Besides, most of the people of the yellow race work as coolies on the docks or as domestic helpers for the rich. What they do is manual work. It is conceivable that their overall IQ ah……"

"Shhh, you're too rude! If you are heard by the school inspector, you will be deducted points!"

"Oh, points deducted? What points are deducted?"

Ai Shili hadn't screwed up a long time ago. She was counterattacked by Long Hao's hand. Not only did she lose the initiative to fight, but she was also attacked and plundered. Asked aloud: "What is the school check?"

The first "tip" white man explained: "Deducting points means deducting conduct points. Conduct points are ranked according to rankings, and there will be scholarships issued every semester! In addition, if the conduct points are too low, not only will there be no money to take, but the school will also be punished." Expulsion! As for the school inspection, it is the student spies arranged by the school board. If there are racially discriminatory words or behaviors, they will be quietly recorded by the school inspection. Afterwards, you will be deducted conduct points. If you want to appeal, you will be punished because of these records. There is nothing to say!"

"Racism, oh, what's that?"

Ashley, who is familiar with colonies, slave trade, and oppression of yellow people, can't help being very curious about this new term.

"Students of different skin colors are not allowed to attack each other with words that insult each other's race, skin color, eyes, etc. Racial discrimination, the school's punishment for this kind of behavior is the most severe!"

"Huh, the government still has the "Chinese Exclusion Act". It is said that this year the "Geary Act" (Geary Act) was passed, and the immigration restrictions on Chinese are even stricter! I really don't know what our school thinks. Come face to face with the Federation!"

"Hey, don't complain. Anyway, there are not many Chinese students now, and most of them are easy to get along with. In addition, the welfare of our school is much better than that of Boston University!"

"What's the use of good welfare, there are not many well-known scholars and professors!"

"What's the hurry, it will get better soon! With the captain of the dragon guard and the capital injection from the princess, the popularity and attraction of our university is increasing day by day! Have you heard that dozens of first-class physicists from Europe seem to be here?" Scholar, live in our school, waiting to see the head of the dragon guard!"

"There is such a thing? Why didn't I know?"

"You nerd, you spend all day in the classroom, dormitory, and laboratory, how would you know? If I hadn't pulled you out to buy books today, I'm afraid you would have turned into a 'salted egg'!"

"What do you know, I don't want to be compared to those Chinese classmates."

……

Long Hao heard the compliment, even though the other party was just a few ordinary college students, he was quite happy in his heart: no one is not vain, let alone the other party doesn't know his identity, and what he said was all objective.

When he was happy, Long Hao began to distribute money and give out tips again, even the driver of the car got a share, causing the whole bus to discuss, and the gossip became more and more heated, causing Ai Shili to hear many unheard of things, The impression of Stanford University has also increased from the initial disdain to the current interest.

When these students saw Long Hao's extravagant spending, they all thought that he was a kid from a rich family. It was his first time visiting Stanford, but they would never have guessed that this handsome and tall man of yellow race was the 'Long Guard Chief' whom they had mentioned no less than a hundred times!

The shuttle bus is a modified coal-fired locomotive, full of power and comfortable seats. It only took 45 minutes to arrive at the gate of Stanford University. Long Hao and Ai Shili got off the bus, said goodbye to several white students, and went directly to Leland. Walk to where Stanford lives.

Leland Stanford originally lived in a ranch-style mansion in San Francisco, but Long Hao had already inquired clearly before coming this time. This old man who made an offensive and defensive alliance with him and fought against Morgan moved to Stanford University three months ago. , lived in the 'scholar building'.

The Scholars Building is another means for Stanford University to attract well-known scholars.

Independent villa-type building, secluded garden-style design, and Rong Shangqin's proposal.The specially added Suzhou garden style makes the scholar buildings have both the most popular luxury in the West and the most gorgeous talent in the East, which is enough to attract all kinds of scholars and professors with knowledge and taste.

When you teach at Stanford, you live in the Scholars Building.There is also a servant to clean it, and it has taught continuously for more than ten years. Stanford University promises that this scholar building will belong to you forever.

The estimated value of a scholar building is more than [-] US dollars, which is already a very tempting reward for intellectuals of this era!

Leland Stanford chose a Suzhou garden-style scholar building to live in. When Long Hao came to the door, the old housekeeper who had a relationship with him last time was pruning branches at the door. head.

The old housekeeper met Long Hao.Immediately threw away the big scissors, and came up to greet him: "Master Earl, you are here!"

The college students at Stanford may not know that the Chief of the Dragon Guard has been 'upgraded' to be the Earl of the North Sea, but as Leland's butler, he is naturally not so ignorant.

"Is old Mr. Stanford in there?"

"Yes, yes, please come in please come in!"

Into the house, less than evening time.Leland Stanford was already lying on the rocking chair with a thin blanket covering his belly.A book fell to the floor, eyes closed, and an old woman sat next to him, her head resting on Leland's arm, snoring softly.

The scene is very harmonious and loving.

"Who is this?"

Long Hao roughly guessed the identity of the old lady.

"This is the master's wife, Jane Jenny..."

The old housekeeper introduced.

The old butler stepped forward.Woke up Leland Stanford.

It took old Lilan a long time to lift his face, and Long Hao suddenly found that he was much older than last time!

Long Hao didn't know that in the original history, Leland Stanford was going to die next year, and the loss of his son had always been his heart disease.Heart disease is one of the most powerful assistants of death.

Long Hao sat down with Ashley and said, "Mr. Stanford, I can see that your health is not good."

Lilan woke Jane up, squinted at Long Hao and the two, and said with a smile: "Count, your eyes are very sharp! Your little girlfriend is also very beautiful! Hehe, I do feel God's call, maybe one day In my dream, I will go to meet little Lilan..."

Jane is an elderly woman who looked very beautiful when she was young. She stopped old Lilan from making unlucky words, first greeted Long Hao and the two who met for the first time, and then told about old Lilan's situation.

Old Leland's health is very bad. His overweight body puts a lot of pressure on his heart. Now Jane is worried every day when she sleeps, worrying whether old Leland's heart will stop working, and when she wakes up, she finds that her wife stopped took a breath.

Therefore, Jane would wake up every once in a while and touch her husband's chest.

Old Leland loved Jane very much, but he didn't want to talk about his body: "Well, whether my heart beats or not depends on God... Lord Earl, I want to thank you, you keep your word, Stanford University is here You have developed very well, and Andrew, as you said, came to San Francisco..."

Leland Stanford, a veteran railroad tycoon, had already met Andrew Carnegie. Although due to his suddenly deteriorating health, Leland was unable to take part in the 'anti-Morgan' campaign, but he still gave Carnegie was of great help.

He used his contacts to instigate some members of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and the Central Pacific Railroad Company, because of old Leland's many letters, made it more stable under the control of Carnegie. Formed a unified opinion against Morgan's Union Pacific Railroad.

It can be said that old Leland's hatred for the Morgan consortium contributed to the complete confrontation of the United against the Central Committee and Morgan against Carnegie!

The two sides are already in a state of chaos, and they will never stop dying, and they will never stop until they defeat each other!

"I will always remember your contribution to our agreement!"

Long Hao was really moved. In his later years, the old Lilan spared no effort in running schools or promoting education: "But since you are not in good health, I, an ally, will do my best to take a look for you. !"

Jane opened her eyes wide and said, "Count, do you know how to see a doctor?"

Long Hao smiled but did not answer, but Ai Shili proudly took her lover's arm and said, "He is very capable. Do you know why he was made an earl? Isn't it because he cured Queen Victoria's illness!"

Jane stood up immediately, breathless and said: "Then, the count must cure him, his heart disease!"

Old Leland stared: "Jane, what are you talking about, which doctor is absolutely sure about heart disease? Besides, I feel the Lord calling me, and little Leland is waiting for me...I miss him so much!"

"I'm not a doctor, but I have some experience in treating heart disease!"

Long Hao stood up, helped Jane back to sit down, and smiled at Leland Stanford, "I'm sorry, old Leland, you can't go to God to enjoy the blessings before the Morgan mountain falls... ...Hehe, I will cure you, and you will have a child!"

child?

Lilan, Jane, Ashley, and the old butler all selectively ignored Long Hao's last words. Are you kidding me? Leland Stanford is almost 70, how can he have a baby?

Besides, Lilan also said last time that his child must be born from Jane's womb, otherwise he would rather not!

Jane looks like she is in her fifties. If a woman of this age wants to have a baby, doesn't that mean she is forced to die early? (To be continued..)
