Zhao Chuanxin's so-called low-keyness is actually not low-key at all in the eyes of others.
His outfits are timeless but in line with aesthetics.
There are wealthy people here who wear jade pendants hanging around their waists and round hats with precious stones, but it is very rare for people like him to wear various chains around their necks.
More people just wear pocket watches on their chests.
The old white man smiled at Zhao Chuanxin and said, "Hello, my name is Thomas Chamberlain. Do you speak English?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he sounded like an old intellectual, with a slightly polite manner. The arrogant middle-class tone was very familiar to Zhao Chuanxin.
"Old man, what do you want to say?"
As soon as Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth, he sounded like an old scoundrel.
His English accent is very mixed, and you can hear the American intonation. It seems to be a southern accent, but it is not obvious.
In fact, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't understand his own tone.
It was a rough English at the beginning, and then the endings of the words gradually rose up, making it sound like a southern American accent. After a trip to the United States, I first learned spoken English in the West. Later, when I arrived in New York, I was influenced by the Eastern accent.
Later he simply gave up on correcting me, as long as you can understand.
Thomas Chamberlain was stunned.
He felt that Zhao Chuanxin's dress was not noble, but he had a unique temperament.
I thought I could be polite, but my tone was quite unkind.
"Did you study in the United States to learn English?"
The journey is long. It would be bad if you stop talking. If you continue talking, you will look hot on the face but cold on the bottom.
In the end, Thomas Chamberlain could only ask a question.
"No. I have been proficient in more than 50 languages since I was born."
After hearing Zhao Chuanxin's words, Thomas Chamberlain's son Rollin Chamberlain's eyes widened.
Having grown up, he has never heard of such awesomeness, okay?
He couldn't help but sneer, "So, sir, are you proficient in Japanese?"
"Not proficient."
"Russian"
"Not proficient."
"Spanish"
"No Proficient."
You two are convinced
Why are you bragging if you are not proficient
Looking at the "embarrassment" on their faces, Zhao Chuanxin laughed." So, you two, what are you doing in China?"
Rollin Chamberlain said, "My father is a geologist and currently serves as the president of the Chicago Academy of Sciences. He is building a hypothesis on the cause of the glaciation based on atmospheric conditions. Written by my father. He came to China for a geological survey.”
Looking at the familiar way he introduced his father and boasted about his past deeds, Zhao Chuanxin understood the cooperation between the two men.
People can’t brag about themselves, but if there are people nearby who praise them, the effect will be different.
Hearing the word glacier, Zhao Chuanxin thought of the movie The Day After Tomorrow.
He blurted out "global change"Warm"
Thomas Chamberlain "You know"
Praise actor Lorraine Chamberlain quickly explained, "My father was one of the first scientists to propose the concept of global warming. In addition, my father also dabbled in astronomy. ”
Now, the two men looked at Zhao Chuanxin with admiration.
At least Zhao Chuanxin must have been frequently exposed to the world’s cutting-edge science and technology, otherwise he would not have known the concept of global warming.
In today's China, if you go out and shout "global warming", even the masters of Chinese studies will be confused.
Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes. , asked "Since you are studying global climate warming, have you considered the environmental pollution problems caused by the second industrial revolution? Have you considered reducing carbon emissions and increasing the area of green plants to improve global warming? Then, have you thought about it?" No, it absorbs carbon dioxide and delays global warming by blocking desertification of the land."
The two men were dumbfounded.
Some of them had thought about it, but some had not.
Because This series of problems are related, affecting the whole body.
As soon as they heard it, they understood that it was absolutely feasible in theory, but it would be extremely difficult to achieve it.
"I didn't expect, sir, that you have such profound insights into the matter of global warming"
Rollin Chamberlain was convinced
Thomas Chamberlain's eyes. Shine the light: "You are a very far-sighted young man. Do you want to go to the Chicago Academy of Sciences for further studies? If so, I can persuade the school to admit you under special circumstances." ”
Liu Guogui, who was listening in the fog, saw the old and young foreigners, who were cold and disdainful at first, and then quickly became eager. He was very confused by this change in attitude.
However, he vaguely understood one thing. Zhao Chuanxin succeeded in showing off again
This made him jealous
So, no. Waiting for Zhao Chuanxin to answer, he first said to Zhao Chuanxin, "Zhuan Xin, please teach me English later. "
You see, if you don't know English, you will miss a lot of good opportunities.
"Wait until I buy you some English books. You will be self-taught and win at the starting line. I would like to teach you, but I need to worry about everything, including family and national affairs, and I really can’t spare the time. "Being a teacher is also very interesting, but it would be terrible if you were a teacher every day.
The spring silkworms will die only when the silkworms die, and the wax torch will turn to ashes before the tears dry up.
Zhao Chuan He was unwilling to burn himself.
He did not answer Thomas Chamberlain directly, but decided to raise his standard first. "At the end of the last century, the automobile was invented. When automobiles broke away from heavy steam engines and switched to internal combustion engines, they gradually became popular. Have you ever thought about how much carbon dioxide will be produced by hundreds of thousands or even millions of cars emitting exhaust every day?"
Thomas Chamberlain was stunned, "The usage rate of cars is still very small now, so it is unfounded to worry about it, right? ”
“Haha. "Zhao Chuanxin smiled disdainfully, "When you pass away, believe it or not.There are at least hundreds of thousands of cars in the world."
By 1950, world car sales reached 10 million. It continued to increase year by year until the 21st century. It is no longer a dream for every household in developed countries to have a car.
“I think this amount of emissions will have minimal impact on the environment. However, your starting point is scientific. Thomas Chamberlain nodded and praised, "So, are you willing to come to the Chicago Academy of Sciences for further study?"
Zhao Chuanxin had just what he wanted, and he said it in one breath, and went to face a group of seniors in their sixties. Is the professor just staring?
“Well, I want to go, but I don’t have time now. It would be great if they could directly issue me a diploma. ”
He is actually quite tempted. When he lives into the 21st century, he will be able to produce a university diploma from the early 20th century, which will definitely amaze everyone.
If you can get a title like professor, when there are experts everywhere in the future, you can stand up and boast that I was a professor at the beginning of the 20th century. What do you have to brag about
< p>Rolin Chamberlain said in his heart that you are really shameless“This, the Academy of Sciences has never had this precedent. Thomas Chamberlain naturally refused, "Besides, you have to go and learn knowledge."
Although he couldn't go now, Zhao Chuanxin felt that it was a pity, so he said, "Mr. Chamberlain, you can stay for me." The next contact information is that I may have the opportunity to bother you in the future. ”
After leaving each other’s contact information, the atmosphere became harmonious.
Although Zhao Chuanxin has limited knowledge about geology such as glaciers, he has read a lot of marketing accounts. He can be said to be at the top of his game when it comes to bullshit.
When it comes to pretentiousness, it’s really not Zhao Chuanxin’s fault. Zebra’s head is clear and logical.
Why is the earth’s polar magnetic field flipping? , the hypothesis of the cause of mass extinction, flood annihilation, etc.
I just swallowed it wholeheartedly.
Maybe someone else would have tried their best to refute what Zhao Chuanxin said. It seemed like a whimsical statement at this time.
But Thomas Chamberlain was different. He published the method of multiple hypotheses in 1890, which talked about the scientific method of formulating hypotheses and then giving detailed data demonstrations.
This paper is considered a milestone in the history of the development of scientific methods.
When he got off the train, Thomas Chamberlain was still chattering, "Ethan, you really should go to the United States to study." . Here, your talents will be buried in poverty and war.
Your mind deserves a better education. ”
Ethan is the pseudonym Zhao Chuanxin used when he was in the United States. His full name is Ethan Zhao.
Even the young and energetic Rollin Chamberlain was impressed by Zhao Chuanxin’s mouth. Go.
How awesome.
If the two of them tried to prove it, they would probably die without a clue.
Zhao Chuanxin looks up to the skySighing "Hey, it seems that real gold like me is destined to shine"
Thomas Chamberlain and Rollin Chamberlain ""
This young man has a flexible mind and unconstrained thinking. He has enough knowledge, but his behavior is too dissolute
Patted the old man on the shoulder, "Mr. Chamberlain, promise me not to value me so much in the future, otherwise I will be proud
Goodbye , Luo Lin"
This way, Liu Guogui was suffocated.
It feels good to pretend to be oneself, but seeing others pretending makes him scratch his head, especially after pretending all the way, he can’t wait to shout that he can do it instead
After leaving the station, he felt uncomfortable all over his body. Liu Guigui was at ease, and Zhao Chuanxin asked, "Are you getting maggots on your body?"
"Haha, no, I must learn English when I go back. What did you talk about? I saw that they attached great importance to you later, Just listen to me."
"These guys are geologists, scientists from the United States.
They see that I am very talented. They asked me for help with professional questions.
I answered a few questions and they were shocked. "
"Really, don't lie to me. You are so lazy that you are not even familiar with the terrain around Lugang Town, and you know nothing about geology."
"Hate, a dusty pearl like me can burst into beauty with just a little breath. Cai, you are so rare."
"Haha, you really dare to say anything to show off."
When they arrived in Tianjin, they wanted to take a rest.
Today’s trains are extremely slow, traveling at 30 kilometers per hour. The old man from Lugang Town will be whipped if he dares to pull a train at this speed.
The group's buttocks were numb from the bumps. After eating well and sleeping well here, they contacted a batch of supplies and took a boat to the Magic City the next day to continue raising supplies and send them to Hong Kong Island one after another.
This is very troublesome work.
Zhang Zhankui, a local gangster in Tianjin City, has been waiting outside the train station for a long time.
Seeing Zhao Chuanxin and the others coming out, they hurriedly greeted "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Liu, hello."
Because Liu Guogui's previous large amount of support was used for up and down management, this time At that time, Zhang Zhankui was already the deputy chief office of the Northern Section Patrol Bureau, and he had a lot of cards.
Zhang Zhankui, who is also a martial arts master, did not dare to take Qiao in front of Zhao Chuanxin.
Zhao Chuanxin went over and patted him on the shoulder, "Haha, Zhaodong, you're all right. It seems that the position of the General Office is very nurturing. You are very rich."
Zhaodong is Zhang Zhankui's character.
Zhou Yuxiang was originally Zhang Zhankui's assistant. He was promoted along with Zhang Zhankui's promotion, and his belly was bigger than before.
He said shyly, "Mr. Zhao, my eldest brother has really solved a lot of major cases in the past two years, and he is now famous in Governor Yuan's office."
"Oh," Zhao Chuanxin asked with great interest, "That's very good. Keep working hard. It's best to push the one above you down. That old boy Yuan Datou is still full of enthusiasm."He advocated a constitutional monarchy."
Zhou Yuxiang was dumbfounded. Two years later, Mr. Zhao is still wild and unyielding. Zhao Chuanxin is the first person who dares to call Yuan Datou in charge of Yuan Shikai in Tianjin.
There were no cars, but there was a row of rickshaws parked outside the station.
Zhao Chuanxin stretched his legs and looked at the rickshaw driver with a dirty towel on his shoulders. He looked shrinking and skinny. He shook his head and said, "You guys are taking the car, my legs are numb from sitting, so let's go for a walk." ”
Everyone was puzzled.
Even Liu Jiahui didn’t quite understand why he had to walk.
Only Gao Li, who was usually taciturn but thoughtful, knew a little bit about this. One or two.
He whispered, “If you don’t take the bus, there will be a driver who won’t get the fare. ”
Zhao Chuanxin suddenly said, “Oh, get in the car, let’s go.”
No one knew what Gao Li secretly said, which made Zhao Chuanxin change his mind immediately.
But they all looked at Gao Li with admiration, and there were not many people who could easily persuade Zhao Chuanxin to change his mind.
Deputy General Zhang was also very good at eating.
< p>The best restaurant in Gulou East, the largest private room.After entering, not only food and wine are served, but also various snacks, such as Gulou East’s steamed buns, Xiaobaoxiang’s beef, and so on. The boiled fish and fried crabs at Toumu's Restaurant are not the specialty here, but the restaurant has no objection to take-out food.
This time Zhang Zhankui knew that Zhao Chuanxin was coming, so he really paid attention.
It allows them to have a rest and eat all the delicacies in Tianjin without having to go around in person.
Zhao Chuanxin naturally appreciated, "Zhaodong is interested, let's eat first." . ”
Because he had to do business, he drank very moderately.
Zhao Chuanxin inquired about the changes in Tianjin City and the current delicate situation, and asked some questions about the great powers.
p>
Since the last time he came to the bank to withdraw money, the security around the bank has increased a lot.
Zhao Chuanxin secretly sighed that it was a pity. If he had something to do and couldn't make it public, he would really like to do it again. Go make a one-time payment.
Perhaps the change in position has caused some changes in Zhang Zhankui's character.
He was originally more honest and upright, but now he is much more diplomatic.
While drinking and drinking, he repeatedly praised Zhao Chuanxin for his benevolence and righteousness.
“At present, there are not many people who can care about the lives and deaths of the people.
Those officials were so demanding that they even withheld funds for disaster relief, watching helplessly as the people were displaced and starved to death everywhere.
Mr. Zhao can care about the people and personally provide disaster relief, which is indeed a role model for our generation
I would like to toast Mr. Zhao. ”
There are seven points of true feelings and three points of falsehood.
“Zhaodong has said it”
Zhao Chuanxin took a sip, while Zhang Zhankui drank it.
Zhao Chuanxin is in great health, but his drinking ability is always under control.
In the past two years, he has always been at a low level.open.
He drank less alcohol and more tea. After a while, he would accumulate a lot of water. He stood up and said, "You guys drink, I'll go and make a convenience."
When he got to the toilet, he saw someone inside. He slapped her hard several times, "Pull it, you're so numb."
"Where did you come from, silly Belle? Belle, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Zhao Chuanxin Hearing this, I started to feel narrow-minded, "What kind of thing is it to me? I'm occupying the latrine and not shitting." Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
