The richest man starts from a street stall

Chapter 365 Professor Emeritus
The most important purpose of Chen Shi's speech is to promote multicultural exchanges between the East and the West.

I talked for nearly 10 minutes, no more, no less, just right.

After the speech, he also received dozens of seconds of applause.

Don't talk about the content, just give a speech without script, articulate, eloquent, as beautiful as a lotus flower.

The sharp and fluent language expression, clear thinking, and majestic rhetoric have to convince these geniuses.

In their opinion, being able to speak English so well is truly remarkable. Just being able to speak authentic Chinese with a foreigner, and it is very accurate and clear, won’t the Chinese people be shocked and admired.

"Very good, Mr. Chen Shi." Principal Drew stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Shi.

"Thank you, Principal Drew."

Chen Shi admires the 70-year-old principal and academician in front of him very much.

Chen Shi shook hands with other school leaders and workers, thanking them.

Then, he walked towards Yang Hanwen and the others.

"Boss, what you said is wonderful!"

"It's so good, it conquered the foreigners!"

Yang Hanwen and others who were also in the audience were very proud to see their boss speaking freely on the stage.

At every pause, they were the craziest supporters, applauding enthusiastically.

After half an hour of filming, their hands were almost swollen.

Chen Shi also noticed the look of their palms, smiled, and patted everyone on the shoulders: "You have worked hard too."

After the speech, Zach and Chen Shi, as guest speakers, had dinner with the school leaders.

"Mr. Chen Shi, I would like to invite you to study at Harvard University." After the banquet, the principal Drew warmly invited Chen Shi.

After several hours of getting along with each other, Drew realized that Chen Shi was really good. Needless to say, his English proficiency was perfect, and he knew that he had perfect scores in TOEFL and IELTS. This alone was very difficult to achieve.

Drew deliberately tested other aspects of knowledge, and Chen Shi's answer satisfied him very much.

In addition, Chen Shi himself is a successful businessman, using success to prove his excellence is worthy of invitation.

Drew and the Harvard school sincerely invited, and Chen Shi is not a stingy person.

"I am very honored to thank the principal and Harvard for the invitation. However, my current focus is on my career, and I have family members in China who need to accompany me. Unfortunately, I cannot study in the United States at present.

However, I would like to donate $800 million to Harvard for scholarships for Chinese language and literature students. "

"Oh, I was so surprised. Mr. Chen Shi is so generous. I thank you on behalf of the school. I guarantee that the funds will be used in the right place according to your requirements. The donation is transparent and well-founded." The smile on the principal's face is more beautiful. Compared with praise, He prefers that capitalists donate money to schools.

"Mr. Chen, although I am a little sorry that I cannot go to Harvard to further my studies, you are always welcome to come to Harvard. However, you can be an honorary professor of Chinese language and literature at Harvard."

Harvard majors are very large, including East Asian languages ​​and civilizations in undergraduate languages.

As soon as Principal Drew finished speaking, Chen Shi was surprised and Yang Hanwen was surprised.

Zach and Robinson weren't much surprised, though, and felt normal.

"This" Chen Shi hesitated, "Principal Drew, do I have that qualification?"

This is Harvard, the number one university in the world.

Even if you are an honorary professor, not a professor in name only, it is still a great honor.

With Chen Shi's English proficiency, he can hear clearly, and understand the meaning of words, what Principal Drew is talking about is the honorary professor.

Chen Shi believes that being an honorary professor is the reason for his donation, but he thinks that $800 million is really not much for Harvard.

Harvard is not short of money. Last year, the cumulative value of donations reached more than 370 billion U.S. dollars.

Of course, there may be items, books, and cash of course not so much, but the capital flow does have tens of billions of dollars. many.

Therefore, in the 2016-17 school year, the school issued a total of $4.14 million in financial aid.

Harvard scholarships are very high. Including international students, all families receiving scholarships in the school pay an average of $12000 in tuition fees per year, and the average grants exceed $53000.

However, Harvard's undergraduate tuition and miscellaneous fees are also very high. If there is no scholarship reduction, it will be [-] US dollars a year.

Although the amount of scholarship is so large, if you want to get it, you must first be admitted to Harvard, which is not something ordinary academics can do.

Not to mention the US dollar as the unit, in China, which first-class university can give students a scholarship that can generally reach 5 yuan?
Principal Drew took a friendly picture of the young man in front of him: "Haha, Mr. Chen Shi, you are too modest. With your accomplishments and contributions in literature, you are enough to be an honorary professor of Chinese literature."

Of course, Drew did not say it clearly. More importantly, you donated 800 million US dollars to the school. It may not be much for Harvard as a whole, but for a single major, and it is liberal arts, it is enough to improve the development of this major. .

Besides, it is worthwhile to use an honorary professor to recruit a young rich man, why worry about future donations?

"Okay then, it's a great honor. I don't know what obligation you have to worry about honorary professors?"

Drew advises: "There's certainly no obligation to be an honorary professor, it's an honor.

Of course, if you have time and interest, you can often come to Harvard to speak Chinese and serve as a visiting professor of Chinese language and literature. This is an obligation. "

Principal Drew didn't think that a rich man would come as a visiting professor. Of course, if Chen Shi did come, he would definitely be very welcome.

"Thank you, Principal Drew, the honorary professor is enough."

Chen Shi agreed, and of course he understood what the honorary professor meant.

Honorary professors only have honor and no obligation. They only need to "grant" the title. After a university confers this title on someone, the person can never go to that university again.

Visiting professors are obliged to do things for the other party, usually making reports or conducting joint research, so qualification approval is required.

Chen Shi, of course he doesn't have that time, and he doesn't like to go to America.

He didn't refuse directly, but it was a tactful rejection.

After the banquet, Chen Shi and others left Harvard.

In the evening, we will catch a plane to Chicago/Chicago Boeing.
