    As he was talking, he was approaching the intersection between the school and the official road. Sun Yuanqi ordered the driver to stop the car, and a group of people jumped off one after another. A large wooden sign had been erected beside it, which read in both Chinese and English: "Private Jingshi University"  .¡±

    Because of the development of schools and the gathering of people, smart vendors have already set up stalls here. After a long time, they built a simple stable along the official road to protect themselves from wind and rain.  Most of the new school workers also set up camp here.  Everyone didn't have much money. Those who were strong and had a lot of labor took advantage of their free time to build a few short houses with soft waists out of mud and gravel. Those who didn't have much manpower would just find some branches and straw to build a shack and live in peace of mind.  Down.  Because it was still winter leisure, many women, old and young, were basking in the sun and doing housework in front of the shacks. When they saw a large group of carriages coming, they all got up and looked around.

    What the foreigners see now is a scene of poverty and backwardness: on both sides of the dusty official road, there are lifeless fields, low and dilapidated houses, old and weak women and children in knotted clothes This is a university  What?  More like a ghetto!

    The foreigner¡¯s face was full of surprise.  Sun Yuanqi didn't say much and led them forward.  After walking a few hundred meters, the official road turned along the mountain, and then I saw a cement road lined with green pines on the official road.

    Although it is winter, the pine trees planted on both sides of the road are all moved from the mountains, making them look increasingly green.  The cement roads are cleaned every day by school workers and are kept clean.  Walking on the road, when you look up, you can see the Tongwen Tower on the top of the hill. The unfinished Chunpu Tower nearby can be seen vaguely among the treetops.  When everyone was walking on the cement road, they nodded secretly: Yes, this is what a university looks like.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????? away from the school, and after a few hundred meters, we arrived at the small square in front of the school gate, where we could hear children playing around on campus.  Sun Yuanqi began to introduce the size of the school, the school's planning, the meaning of the school name, etc. to the guests.

    After walking through the Fengyu Bridge, the true face of the school was fully revealed: the playground where children were playing, the beautiful Chengqi Hall under the winter sun, the Tongwen Building standing on the top of the mountain in front, the unfinished Chunpu Building nearby, and the rising smoke from the kitchen stove.  There is a simple canteen, and a mountainside villa in the distance hidden among the mountains and trees.

    Sun Yuanqi said apologetically: "The university has only been built not long ago, and many buildings are still on paper. But I believe that within five years, it will definitely have a completely new look; in ten years, it will definitely be world-famous!"

    The dinner was held in the lobby of the cafeteria¡ªit¡¯s called a lobby, but it¡¯s actually just a few large rooms that have been opened up¡ªin addition to Vera and Lilith¡¯s family, newcomers to MIT, colleagues from Yale, and others who came to support last year  The group of foreign teachers, Yan Fu, Lu Bi and others were also invited to accompany him.

    ??The guests are tired from traveling and need to adapt to their new accommodation. For convenience and speed, dinner is served in a buffet style, so everyone can get what they need.  It's just that the chefs in the cafeteria are not capable of making burgers, cheese, salads, and grilled steaks. On the table are Chinese dishes such as Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Vegetarian Sanxian, Twice-cooked Pork, and Braised Lion's Head.

    At this time, Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to bite the bullet, pick up a glass of wine, and go to Vera's parents' table first.  Vera did not attend the dinner party because of her health.

    "Dear Mr. Coster and Mrs. Coster, hello! Can I sit down and say a few words?"

    Mr. Coster looked serious and replied firmly: "Sit down."

    Mrs. Coster, on the other hand, was more cordial: "Oh, hello, Professor Johnson. Maybe I can call you Yank. Would you mind?"

    "Of course, it's a great honor, madam." Sun Yuanqi smiled and sat down at the table, and then said in the most sincere tone: "First of all, I would like to express my great welcome to you all from the United States. At the same time, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to you for coming all the way from the United States.  I'm sorry. Because of my personal fault, I have caused serious trouble to Vera and you."

    "Well." Mr. Coster nodded slightly, "Then what?"

    Sun Yuanqi said very solemnly: "If you allow me, I want to marry Vera!"

    Mr. Coster stared at Sun Yuanqi closely: "You have to know, Mr. Johnson, our family is very traditional. We are loyal to God and abide by the doctrine. Do you understand what I mean?"

    "I think I understand what you mean, sir!"

    At this time, Mr. Coster showed a satisfied smile: "That's very good, Mr. Johnson. We will discuss this issue seriously with Vera and give you an answer in a few days."

    Mrs. Coster was obviously very satisfied. She enthusiastically grabbed Sun Yuanqi and chatted for a long time before letting him go.

    Sun Yuanqi sighed, picked up another glass of wine, and came to the table of Lilith and her parents. Presumably they had seen him go to another place first.These crystals have an indescribable but pleasant taste.  This flavor, Ikeda can be found in many foods, especially in kelp.  Professor Ikeda calls this taste "umami".  He then patented a method for large-scale production of glutamate crystals.

    Sun Yuanqi is not so defiant that he can understand and master the microbial manufacturing method of later generations of MSG. What he knows is the patent invented by Wu Yunchu of my country in the 1920s.  In wheat bran (gluten), the glutamic acid content can reach 40%.  The production method is to first use 34% hydrochloric acid to hydrolyze gluten under pressure to obtain a black hydrolyzate. After decolorization with activated carbon and vacuum concentration, white crystallized glutamic acid is obtained.  Glutamic acid is then reacted with sodium hydroxide, concentrated and dried to obtain sodium glutamate crystals.

    "Are you planning to build your own factory to produce?" Mr. Bergman was surprised. In his opinion, Sun Yuanqi was an outstanding scientist and should regard being famous throughout the ages as his mission, rather than being a successful businessman.

    "I hope you will do this!" Sun Yuanqi was very direct. "You will be responsible for building the factory in the United States and I will invest in it with the patent. Excluding production costs, 70% of the profits in Europe and the United States will belong to you, and 30% will belong to Lilith.  Including after Lilith gets married in the future, this will be used as compensation for the fault. 80% of the profits in Asia, including Japan, will belong to me and 20% will belong to you. How about it? "

    At first glance, this proposal seems to be very beneficial to Mr. Bergman, because the major economic powers at that time were in Europe and the United States, and Asia represented poverty and backwardness.  In fact, we cannot simply examine it in terms of national strength and economic level, but more importantly, we must also look at the consumption habits of various regions.  Even now, Europe and the United States use less MSG because they pay more attention to the original flavor of food.  MSG is most commonly used in Chinese cuisine, because we pay more attention to the taste of soup.

    Mr. Bergman hesitated, seeming to weigh the pros and cons, but in the end he was defeated by the magic of money: "I can provide a draft agreement in a few days - but before that, I can try that magic condiment."  Is it effective?"

    "No problem." Sun Yuanqi picked up the cup and touched it with Mr. Bergman, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"

    A few days later, Mr. Bergman, who understood the miraculous effects of condiments, left China in a hurry with the corresponding materials prepared by Sun Yuanqi and Lilith, who was not happy at all.  In his opinion, every minute of delay is a crime against wealth.

    After solving Lilith¡¯s problem, Sun Yuanqi began to prepare for his wedding.  This is undoubtedly a complicated and huge project, even for Sun Yuanqi, who has been born in two generations: first of all, he has no marriage experience; secondly, he knows nothing about Chinese and foreign wedding customs in the late Qing Dynasty

    When Lao Zhao and Lao Zheng heard that their master was getting married - although they were somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that the bride's family were foreigners, overall they were mostly happy - they immediately mobilized all the idle staff in the school, starting from the reservation  From advocating the team to preparing tables and stools; from selecting chefs to delineating menus; from guest lists to seating arrangements There are almost hundreds of people in the school, and everyone has their own duties, and each task has several tasks.  Individuals are busy.  The laziness after the Spring Festival disappeared instantly.

    As the main party, Sun Yuanqi rarely participated in this matter, because in addition to the students who were about to start school, teachers including Zhang Yuanji also arrived in Beijing one after another. As the principal and a junior, he naturally had to go to the station to greet him respectfully.

    As expected, the first person to arrive was Mr. Zhang Yuanji, who was hired as the vice president and director of the school committee.  Sun Yuanqi could understand Zhang Yuanji's mood: as one of the ancient literati and officials, "obtaining the world's talents and educating them" was one of his most anticipated careers in his life.  You can imagine the disappointment in my heart after retiring from the position of Prime Minister of Nanyang Public School.  Now, I have to return to the teaching position, and I am almost bursting with excitement.  Furthermore, the school is about to start school, but as the vice principal and director of the school board, I know nothing about the school. How can I explain it?

    In this way, Zhang Yuanji arrived at the school first and did not even notify Sun Yuanqi until he arrived at the school.  After walking around the campus for a long time, Shi Shiran asked the security guards following him for directions and knocked on the door of the principal's office.

    Sun Yuanqi is discussing with a foreign municipal company how to use the school's creek to build a small power station, build a water plant, lay pipelines, etc.  Although these projects had been assigned to students, these young students really made Sun Yuanqi worried. For example, tap water was disinfected with chlorine. The water sample they showed to the principal could smell a pungent chlorine smell from a long way away.  Throw a goldfish in, and within a few minutes, the goldfish will turn upside down Now, people from MIT and Yale have brought the coveted check of $180,000, and many projects can be started.  However, after the project is launched, these students still need to participate. Whether it is a combination of study and practice, or brainstorming, I believe it will be very helpful to the students' future learning and development.

    Hearing the knock on the door, Sun Yuanqi thought it was the school janitor who was helping to pour tea, so he answered casually: "Please come in." When he saw Zhang Yuanji coming in, he was stunned and stood up quickly: "Mr. Zhang, what are you doing here?  Don't you say anything? You can also let me pick you up at the station." The engineers who came to discuss the matter also stood up quickly after hearing this.

    Zhang Yuanji bowed his hands to everyone in the room: "I, Zhang Yuanji, came uninvited, so please forgive me!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)This is a brainstorming session, which I believe will be very helpful for students¡¯ future learning and development.
