the world is at stake

At least the Army greatly praised Colonel Robert for his great improvement in heavy equipment maintenance in 16 and 17.The Pentagon even rewarded the colonel with a medal.

Things went well, but Liang Guang couldn't continue to stay at the 'Aniston' army base.He was supposed to go to another 'Marais' base on a rotation basis, but he was temporarily arranged to meet a Chinese professor named Jung.

Jung was of medium height, slightly plump, with a round face, probably in his forties.

Caltech is very small, with just over 2000 students, but it is the top private research university in the United States.Among the well-known alumni is Qian Xuesen, who is familiar to Chinese people.

There is no doubt about Jung's ability to be a professor at Caltech.It's just that he now encounters a problem that he can't solve with his own ability.

The two were very nervous to meet each other, shook hands and greeted each other a few words, and then couldn't wait to get to the point.Jung asked in a low voice: "How much investment can 'Holy Light' have to build a private university in China?"

Liang Guang was sent to talk because he was no longer on the FBI's monitoring list. In fact, he himself didn't know much about the "Holy Light University", but he knew that it was related to the "Holy Light", and there must be something hidden behind it.

"'Holy Light University' is under preparation, and domestic officials are very supportive, and is currently recruiting the best teachers from all over the world, and wants to build this comprehensive university in two years.

The initial investment will not be less than RMB 500 billion, of course this is the sum of many years. "

Liang Guang could only repeat the subject according to the script, and reread some public information given to him by his superiors, mainly to dispel the doubts of the professor Jung in front of him, so that he can go to China to have a look.

"'Shengguang' is very sincere and confident in establishing the school. The school is contacting famous universities in Europe, America, Japan, Korea and other countries to cooperate in running schools. Professors from these famous schools are invited to participate in the construction and teaching of 'Shengguang University'. "

When Liang Guang said this, he himself was a little confused—how can these Western universities be so eloquent?Kind of weird.

On the contrary, Jung knew this matter better - it was all forced out by the extremely severe "white terror" of "Harden", and the Chinese higher education market made foreign educational institutions particularly jealous.

'Harden' now wields his board to deal with overseas students and scientific researchers with 'Chinese background', and has overturned the jobs of more than 5000 people in two months.He has publicly stated that this year he will complete a survey of all universities, enterprises, and scientific research institutions across the United States.

At least 10 people's jobs will be taken away, which has caused great social panic-multiple educational unions in the United States tried to change the thinking of 'Harden', but they were successively detected by the FBI.

Fund corruption, academic fraud, sexual assault, racial discrimination, and so on. 'The world is as black as crows', the American academic circle will not be less messy than the political circle.

Under such circumstances, "Holy Light" stood up and contacted the Alliance of American Universities and many scientific research institutions, hoping to establish a "joint education" and absorb the "surplus" teachers from the United States to conduct higher education in China.

This has aroused the interest of many people.

There are also fierce internal struggles in American universities. Not to mention the fight for funding, the competition for the title of professor is fierce. The gold content of professors in American universities is extremely high, and it is difficult to hold this title.

In contrast, many professors in China are actually worse than bullshit, and their buttocks are still crooked.

For American schools, if they can kick out a group of Chinese professors with "Chinese background" and enter the Chinese market to make money, this is the best of both worlds.

There are currently 60 Chinese students studying abroad, including more than 30 in the United States.

The PPT pie drawn by "Holy Light" stated that within ten years, 100 super universities will be built in China, and the number of students will reach [-] million.This cake painting is too mysterious, but it has to be said that it is very attractive.

After all, China recruits a staggering 800 million college students a year.

In order to achieve this plan, 'Holy Light' is recruiting teachers all over the world, mainly Chinese professors who are about to lose their jobs.

Jung studied at a university in China in his early years. He went to the United States to study in the late 90s. He was naturalized at the beginning of the new millennium and stayed in the United States to teach. After 20 years, he became a professor at Caltech with an annual salary of 20 US dollars.

This is a very successful life experience.

Jung felt that he would be an American all his life, but he never thought that he would experience great changes in middle age.The school had told him last week that he would either be dismissed or participate in a joint education program with the 'Holy Light University'.

The annual salary remains the same, and the teaching position remains the same, but the teaching location has to be changed to China. The main campus of 'Shengguang University' is located in Shanghai, and the site selection and land acquisition have been completed, and infrastructure construction is underway.

The school management of Caltech made it very clear-now the FBI will not be accommodating, just to drive away professors with "Chinese background".The school is also very sorry, but there is no way.

Participating in the 'joint education' program, Jung is still a Caltech person.

Four years later, when Trump steps down, he might be able to come back.If you don't participate, you will be sorry, and you can only be fired. At most, you will be given some money to compensate, or you may not have a penny.

If fired, Jung could not find other work in the United States.There are also contacts among Chinese professors, and everyone is asking if there is any way to stay in the United States or go to Europe.

But all avenues are blocked by the FBI, just to drive people away-Trump is bluffing now, and Europe is also frightened by him.

People with 'Chinese background' can't do anything about it.The United States verbally says that 'racial discrimination' cannot be tolerated, but in fact it is extremely 'racial discrimination'.

"Will I be suppressed if I go back to China?" Jung was still worried, "After all, I have already naturalized in the United States, and I am used to living here."

After all, Jung didn't want to leave, didn't want to move.There are many people who think like him.Some people have political conflicts, some people are worried about the quality of life, some people feel that they don't look good, anyway, the reasons are all kinds of strange.

Liang Guang also understood this, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Rong, how long has it been since you returned to China?"

"Ten years or so."

"The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. The country is very open, and it is good to go and have a look when you have time. No matter what you think in the past, the domestic officials don't really mind.

People, there will be some psychological resistance.But as long as they can make achievements, the common people are very tolerant.Such as 'Holy Light' fabs recruit talents from all over the world.Many of them are from Taiwan, and they are currently integrating well.

As long as you don't touch taboo political topics, everyone is actually an ordinary person.If you do your job well, no one will make trouble.

For example, Ms. Yilan, vice president of 'Holy Light'.He was originally an Iraqi Kurd who was educated in France and came to work in China.

He applied for naturalization last year, and was admitted to the CPPCC because of his outstanding contributions to the country.

Not long ago, when the Imperial Capital held a conference, Ms. Yilan proposed to hold an 'import expo' to show that the Chinese market is open to the world.The central government readily accepted the proposal. "

Liang Guang had a lot to say, but it was not enough to dispel all Jung's concerns immediately.The latter chuckled, "Mr. Liang, you are 'uniting the front' with me."

Liang Guang immediately said seriously: "Mr. Rong, we think you have the value of being united. Don't wait for your value to disappear before making a decision."

Chapter 65 Returning to China

Liang Guang just came to meet, meet and chat.At the beginning, the two sides were still very restrained, but it didn't matter if we chatted, and we talked about everything.He is ten years younger than Jung, and he can actually understand each other very well.

For the group of people who went abroad 20 years ago, if you want to say how treacherous and evil they are, this is also an emotional vent.Back then, the country was in a mess, and those who were able would indeed find a way to go abroad.Those who go abroad will find ways to stay.

'People go to high places, water flows to low places', not everyone can be like the revolutionary martyrs, 'I laugh at the sky from the sidelines, and keep my heart and soul in Kunlun'.

Knowing that you must die, but generously doing justice, this is a martyr.Ordinary people can't do it!

Those who go abroad can be safe and secure without discrediting the country, only Amitabha.What's more, there is a big cow like Qian Xuesen, who has learned a lot of skills and can resolutely return to China to build, which is very good.

There are only a few people who are really determined to go abroad and then turn around and bite back.Most people are very small, just to live and work in peace and contentment, and take care of a small family.

Besides, the domestic social environment was really bad ten or twenty years ago, and even now there are still all kinds of bureaucratic corruption.Who is not angry when they meet?

Liang Guang himself was a wimp in his work unit, so he gritted his teeth and came to the United States to make a living.It's a success so far.

So studying abroad is not a big deal, and naturalization can also be restored.Mr. Yang Zhenning is a typical example.The Turbine Party, which follows the 'mass line', is still open to this aspect and believes that these are potential allies.

When they parted, Liang Guang said something heartfelt to Jung, "Man, it's normal to think about earning more money and wanting to live a better life when you are young. In your forties, you are in the prime of life, so you can consider other factors.

Mr. Rong has achieved great success.However, the professors who have developed to Caltech in foreign countries have reached the ceiling.At this time, returning to China is a way to break through the ceiling. You can imagine what heights you can reach at the age of 60?

'Holy Light' is a fairly international group with background and backing, strong capital and connections. 'Holy Light University' is in preparation, and the location of the main campus in Shanghai is also to take care of returnees from all walks of life.

Anyone who joins the 'Joint School' now is considered a founder, and his status will definitely rise in the future.If you come back after two years after the school is completed, it can only be regarded as an ordinary employment relationship. "

Jung was still a little arrogant, but it didn't mean he agreed with Liang Guang's last sentence - he was very successful among the international students back then, but not every Chinese international student could be like him.

Zhou Qingfeng met a female intermediary '20 years ago' who graduated from a top domestic university and was able to enter a ministry, but in her forties she could only sell houses in Flushing.

Perhaps for ordinary people, being an intermediary for selling houses in the United States, eating all-you-can-eat fried chicken for one dollar is considered very successful.But for the group of elites who went abroad 20 years ago, it was very disappointing.

Back home, Jung turned on his phone, and several alumni WeChat groups were discussing it.Someone even built an anonymous website to facilitate the exchange of information among Chinese intellectuals who have lost their jobs.

You can browse casually, and most of the rumors circulating are pessimistic.

Someone scolded the FBI and its director Harden in the group, and someone immediately reminded him not to be reported.In short, they are all incompetent, furious, and especially cowardly.

Someone also left a private message to Jung, saying that he had found a new job.

If you ask carefully, most of them are recruited by mainland universities.The salary is lower, but it is considered very good in China. They are all big cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. They rent a house and work for their families, which is considered to be very well taken care of.

There are also those who choose to prepare for the establishment of the 'Holy Light University', but relatively few.First, this university is still in its infancy, and second, it is particularly selective.Not the top academics in the industry, it doesn't even want it.

"Jung, we are in great trouble this time." A friend called, "I asked a friend in the government, and it is said that Harden, who conducted the 'loyalty investigation', is now a tyrant in the upper echelons of the United States.

There was news in Congress that this guy was not afraid to attend hearings in the House of Representatives.If an MP asks a question to make things difficult for him, he dares to ask back and even stare.

Now rumors have flowed out of Bureau G that Harden was extremely strong when he was the deputy director of Bureau G.He has a particularly good relationship with the military. The Trump cabinet originally wanted to cut military spending, but he tried his best to dissuade him.

We are talking internally now, this is the second Edgar Hoover. "

Edgar Hoover, a legendary figure in American history, the first director of the FBI.

This person has held this important position for nearly half a century, survived eight presidents, and sixteen general prosecutors.

Because Hoover was too powerful, he gave American politicians an indelible memory of fear.Therefore, after his death, the power of the FBI director was greatly reduced, and he no longer had the power of the past.

Now that Trump came to power, he broke this confinement and immediately released a beast that was out of restraint.The powerful in Washington have begun to feel uneasy, but there is nothing they can do.

"You know? A reporter tried to investigate Harden and died unexpectedly within two days. Someone drowned in their own bathtub, someone overdosed and fell on the office floor. Others just disappeared without a trace.

Some lawmakers tried to submit a bill against Harden in Congress, but the bill leaked before it was released.That congressman had a scandal that day, and it turned out to be a video of his son abusing a cat.

The congressman himself was not caught, but he had to stand up and apologize to the media.But there are also rumors that this is just an innocuous warning, which has not yet been torn apart. "

The friend's words made Jung sigh again and again, and he said: "I have also been monitored for the past two days. Some people even broke into my house and installed bugs.

The surveillance video at home captured this scene, but it was useless for me to call the police.The police came and said they would investigate.But two days later, the police station called and asked me to cooperate with the FBI's investigation.

My whole family was scared to death.Because the bug was installed in the study, but I didn't dare to remove it, so I had no choice but to stop going in.This is obviously my home, but I don't have any sense of security. "

The two people in trouble wanted to comfort each other, but after hearing a lot of news, they felt even worse.The friend said bluntly on the mobile phone: "Our current calls may be monitored."

These words completely broke Jung's mind to continue the chat. He felt that he really couldn't stay in Los Angeles and had to leave quickly.The only option is probably to return to the mainland.

The next day, Jung went to the school and expressed his willingness to join the "cooperative education" program, and hoped that the whole family would go to Shanghai as soon as possible.In his mind, it was right to avoid the limelight no matter what.

The 'Cal Polytechnic' school is very happy about this.They are currently equating to 'selling piglets'. Selling one will free up a teaching position, which not only meets the requirements of the FBI, but also allows other teaching staff to have a promotion position.

In late April, the Jung family got their entry visas and took a plane to Shanghai, China. The preparatory group of 'Holy Light University' sent people to Hongqiao Airport to pick up the plane.

From the moment he got off the plane, Jung realized—wow, Shanghai is really different after more than ten years.Although I have seen it on the Internet and in the news, the live experience is completely different.

Jung's two children are authentic Americans and can only speak English, but they can understand Chinese but can't speak it.They have been very curious since they landed, they kept looking around, whispering in private, the first sentence was...

Wow, there are so many Chinese here, more than Chinatown.

The pick-up staff were very enthusiastic and helped to introduce along the way, and also briefly talked about the current state of school preparations.

First of all, it is natural that the government attaches great importance to this.Regardless of whether it is the ministries and commissions of the imperial capital or the local government, basically those who can give the green light will simplify the procedures.

Personnel, funds, venues, planning, these have been in progress since the end of last year.

"The construction period of the school will take at least two years, but 'Shengguang' decided to borrow the chicken and lay the egg, and first borrow the school building and facilities of the local colleges and universities in Shanghai to build the structure first.

In July this year, we will start publicity and recruit students in September.Mainly basic natural subjects such as physical chemistry and applied subjects such as computer and high-tech materials, initially recruiting [-] doctoral students, [-] master's students, and [-] undergraduate students. "

The pick-up person was a young man in his early twenties, his face flushed when he said this, confident and happy.Jung was extremely surprised by the number he said, and asked, "Five thousand undergraduates, so many recruits?"

Hahaha... The pick-up staff laughed and scratched their heads shyly, "When we first made the plan, the school preparatory team only planned to recruit a few hundred people in the first year. And they focused on master's and doctoral degrees.

But the headquarters saw our plan and directly added zero to the number of students enrolled.This is indeed a little scary.

In fact, we did not run the school completely from scratch, but chose to merge a number of local colleges, technical secondary schools and even vocational schools in Shanghai, and reformed on the basis of the original schools.

Many school facilities are ready-made. As long as human, material and financial resources are well integrated, it is really possible to build a comprehensive university in two years. "

Jung shook his head when he heard this. He knew very well the difficulty of running a university. It is not enough just to have infrastructure, but also requires a lot of capital investment. "Does 'Holy Light' have enough money to run a school?"

Hahaha... The pick-up staff laughed again, "'Shengguang' is in the oil business, and the state has specially granted it a quota to import American oil, and this quota alone has made a lot of money.

From this year onwards, a lot of trade between China and the United States will go through the 'Holy Light'.Such as soybeans and corn, this is a very profitable business.In addition, 'Holy Light' can often get some goods that are urgently needed in the country, and the profits are extremely high.

Recently, 'Holy Light' has opened trade routes to Russia and Central Asia and Eastern Europe, exporting a large number of mechanical and electrical products, and importing local agricultural products and minerals.The number of departures of China Railway Express has increased rapidly.

Our company spends money when it makes money, and spends it desperately.But it feels like the more you spend, the more you earn.Even the banks issued loans every now and then, billions of dollars at every turn, all of which were spent. "

The pick-up staff are extremely proud of their group.In Jung's heart, this "Holy Light" is simply a super group with a deep background.It is involved in oil, food, logistics, education, semiconductors, and has extremely huge energy.

The vehicle drove all the way but did not enter the urban area of ​​Shanghai.Jung also had friends in China. After some contact on the phone, he asked the pick-up staff where they were going.

Uh... The pick-up staff was suddenly embarrassed, and his tone weakened a little after he sneered, "Our 'Shengguang University' is divided into several campuses, and different departments are in different places.

Considering that the land in the urban area is too expensive, several campuses are relatively far away.Mr. Rong comes from the School of Engineering and Application of 'Caltech', and is currently selected into the preparatory group of related departments.

This 'Holy Light' School of Engineering and Application is the largest and largest in the school.The currently selected school site is at…”

The pick-up staff took out their mobile phone and clicked on the navigation for Jung to see for himself.Professor Rong glanced at him and said in surprise, "We are...running to Jiaxing."

"No, no, I haven't been to Jiaxing yet, but it's on the edge of Jiashan County under Jiaxing City. It's also within the scope of Shanghai, and it's also by the Huangpu River. The main reason is that the land here is cheap, so it's convenient for future expansion."

Jung was taken aback, looked at the map, and thought to himself: "I'm an educated person, but I'm at the level of a professor. Your school doesn't rely on both sides, so you might as well go to Jiaxing."

Chapter 66 Curve Development

The School of Computing and Application of 'Shengguang University' is located close to Jiaxing City, which belongs to the remote suburbs of Shanghai, and the environment and facilities are relatively poor.

Jung's family will be temporarily arranged in Shanghai, and he himself will participate in the construction of the college.

When he first arrived at the academy, the pick-up staff took Jung around.First, let's take a look at the campus that is leveling the land. It is basically an expansion of the original secondary vocational school.

"There used to be two technical secondary schools here. The teaching level was very poor, and few parents were willing to send their children there. There were only two to three hundred students in the school, and they could hardly learn anything. It was on the verge of closure.
