"Oh~" Fang Zheng leaned back and said jokingly: "Mr. Chen, everyone wants to leave his name in history. Isn't it appropriate for you to use people's money to leave your name in history?"
So disrespectful? Why click it?
"Hey...hey..." Chen Hong smiled awkwardly: "What you said, business is business, business is business!"
"That's natural." Fang Zhengyi deeply agreed. "Although it's a business matter, the number of five hundred thousand taels is indeed too high. I have a cheaper and better way. I wonder if you would like to hear it?"
"Master Fang, please speak."
Fang Zheng gathered his thoughts and said, "I am planning to hold an event at Dongjiao University to bring together all the foreign missions in Honglu Temple for a sports meeting."
"Sports meeting? What is a sports meeting?" Chen Hong asked confused.
"To put it simply, it means putting people together and competing to see who can run faster, who can jump higher, who can throw sandbags far, and who can shoot arrows accurately, that's about it."
"This... this is nonsense! It's so ridiculous! Does it make any sense?" Chen Hong stood up in surprise and was speechless.
He thought about countless possibilities for Fang Zhengyi to intervene in this matter, but he never expected that Fang Zhengyi could come up with such a method.
Put a group of people together and see who can run faster?
Enough support?
Fang Zheng was not surprised at all by his reaction.
After all, many people nowadays can't actually see two pieces of meat when eating, and fat people are even rarer.
Exercise is something that only rich kids and soldiers do.
Fang Zheng stretched out his right hand and pressed it down, and said softly: "Master Chen, please don't be impatient. Sit down and talk."
Chen Hong sat down and said reluctantly: "Can I not be in a hurry? This is absolutely not possible. If you say it, it will make people laugh."
"Actually, it's not as serious as you think. This is definitely a good thing." Fang Zheng said steadily: "You have to know that the foreign guests at Honglu Temple are all from different countries, different cultures, and even different skin colors. If we want to The best thing to do is to find what they have in common, and that common ground is nothing but sports.”
"Through sports games we can bring everyone together, understand each other and enhance friendship."
Chen Hong frowned.
Fang Zhengyi continued: "The most important thing is that if our Dajing can win every game, it will be an inspiration to the people. In addition, it can also promote our Dajing culture and promote cooperation with other countries." The benefits of communication are countless, not just this time, I plan to do it every four years."
"No! Mr. Fang, you take it too much for granted!" Chen Hong objected, "Let's not talk about whether you are right or wrong. Dajing is our home court, and the delegation only brought some guards. After winning the game, we have a reputation of bullying the smaller ones. If word gets out, neither you nor I can bear this responsibility."
Fang Zheng said: "You are right, but this is our first time to hold a friendly match, and the scale will not be too big. The candidates for the competition will be found from Honglu Temple, and it does not count us bullying outsiders."
"And I can tell you responsibly that the method of this sports meeting is not something I came up with out of my head. There is a small country overseas called Greece that often holds this kind of event. It is quite popular and has been around for a long time."
"Really?" Chen Hong looked suspicious.
Fang Zheng vowed: "Lai Gou'er told me, if you don't believe it, ask him. The culture of foreigners is different from ours, but the only thing that is the same is that everyone likes to play, so don't worry, you can't be wrong!"
"If there's a problem, it's all my fault. If there's no problem, the credit goes to you. Even if we fail, think about the fact that we will do business with the West in the future, and the fleet will bring more countries to the sea. Your credit is still small. ?"
Chen Hong fell into deep thought and spoke after a long time: "I still feel it's inappropriate. This is too risky. This is not the way I always treat guests."
"Actually, there is nothing risky." Fang Zheng said sternly: "Actually, let me tell you the truth, except that opening this sports meeting is conducive to national exchanges."
"On the other hand, I need them to collectively visit Eastern Suburb University and take a look at the achievements of Eastern Suburb University so that we can recruit more talents from all over the world in the future."
Chen Hong's expression was solemn: "Master Fang, are you kidding? How can Eastern Suburb University allow outsiders to enter?"
Fang Zheng was very happy: "What's going on? Don't you guys in the court always look down on me, Dongjiao University?"
Chen Hongdao: "Since you have said this, I will admit it. In the past, everyone looked down upon Dongjiao University, thinking that it taught some strange skills. But now we are not going to Dongjiao University. Have you attended a few classes at the university... Dongda has produced a lot of results."
"I have to admit that there is still a lot to be done. This sage's book talks about the great road, and what you learn in Dongjiao University is a small skill. The skill has its own effect and must not be allowed to be learned by outsiders."
Fang Zheng laughed angrily: "I understand, you still look down on our Dongda University!"
"Wrong! The Tao is inseparable from the art, and the art is inseparable from the Tao. I don't mean to look down on it. It has quick effects, so it can't be leaked to outsiders." Chen Hong said seriously.
"Don't worry about this. With me, Jin Yiwei, the confidential and important technology will never be leaked. As for the teaching materials in the school, it doesn't matter whether others learn it or not." Fang Zheng said, "Even if we stop it, we may not be able to stop it. .”
"This science is full of holes and needs people to constantly make up for it. Moreover, a lot of knowledge at Dongda can be learned and shared openly by everyone, otherwise I would not publish all the papers in newspapers."
"But you're not afraid of ten thousand, just what happens?" Chen Hong asked worriedly.
"If you are afraid of making mistakes, then there is no need to do anything. I can tell you responsibly that the value created by one genius is better than 10,000 mediocre people. Therefore, Eastern Suburbs University must recruit geniuses from all over the world in order to maintain its leading position forever. This is not only For Dongda University, it is also for the great scenery." Fang Zheng said with great emphasis.
"The foreigners in Honglu Temple should be able to understand newspapers and have read newspapers. If there are smart people among them, they will definitely follow the example of Dongjiao University. Let me put it bluntly, we scholars in Dajing have too much burden, which is heartbreaking. Li still disdains the so-called art, so it is extremely difficult for real geniuses to be willing to enter Eastern Suburbs University."
"On the other hand, foreigners are much more unorganized. As long as they avoid tabooing theology, they can almost do whatever they want to do and recruit talented people. If they rely on theology to develop science, they may still get strong support. Our country is now strong and powerful. If we don't truly If you value science, what will happen a hundred years from now? If the foreigners' guns and cannons are better than ours, one can be worth a hundred. But our technology is hesitant and we will start a war. How can people rely on it!?"
