Seeing that the Crown Prince of Sweden was still unwilling to give up, Chen Muwuxin said, it seems that I can only use a big weapon to scare you.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I think you should have seen the news. Just last May, wasn't there a train carrying several foreigners that was hijacked by local robbers and taken hostage?
“Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected. Who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen to you during your journey in China?
"And if, say, you were not very lucky that time and the train hit a mountain or fell into the water after derailing, you might not even have a chance to survive."
The Lincheng carjacking case mentioned by Chen Muwu obviously shocked Prince Gustav Adolf. The news that shocked the world last year still left a huge shadow on the hearts of foreigners.
"Mr. Chen, your words have indeed been of great help to me. It seems that I may have to carefully consider my visit to your country."
The Crown Prince of Sweden had already fallen into a low pressure at this time. Chen Muwu saw that the time seemed to be ripe. The hole was dug and others had jumped in. It was time to draw a pie for him.
"Your Royal Highness, I understand your feelings, but in fact, if you want to understand Chinese culture, you don't have to travel all the way eastward through mountains and rivers. There is also another way.
“I was able to come to Europe because I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Einstein when I was in China and received his recommendation, which enabled me to start my career in Europe.
“There are many people in China who are eager to have more extensive exchanges with Europe and the world, but most people are unable to do so because of poverty.
“Many of them are better than me, but what they lack compared to me is just an opportunity.
“Since Your Highness the Crown Prince is very interested in Chinese culture, why not set up a fund to invite a certain number of Chinese scholars every year to help them come to Europe and Sweden to have academic exchanges with you?
“This will not only allow you to have an in-depth understanding of Chinese culture, but also help them realize their dreams. It is simply a move that kills two birds with one stone.
"If you can go further in the future, I think you can also follow the example of the Oriental College of the University of London and establish a similar Chinese college in Sweden and Stockholm to hire more teachers from China to make it more convenient for you and your people. To understand and learn Chinese culture well?”
Chen Muwu was having trouble with this. If the Crown Prince of Sweden could really listen to what he said, then it would be like having a school for nothing.
Even if he hasn't fully heard it yet, it is equivalent to planting a seed in his heart, allowing it to take root and sprout silently.
If Chen Muwu accumulates enough money in the future, finds the Swedish crown prince who likes Chinese culture, and proposes his plan to build a school, maybe it will be much smoother by then.
After meeting with the Crown Prince of Sweden at the British Embassy today, Chen Muwu suddenly thought that Sweden might be a good choice for him to establish a school in the future.
Although the country has become increasingly strange in the future, with intellectuals, refugees and anti-intellectualism prevalent, the most representative one is a green-faced girl with a big face that neither the East nor the West wants to see.
But for now, Sweden is indeed a relatively high-ranking choice in Chen Muwu's plan.
First, Sweden is a neutral country with relatively strong military ethics and good military combat effectiveness. This makes Germany a little afraid of it. In the end, Sweden always maintained a neutral status in World War II, unlike the unlucky Norway next door. Both were neutral countries, but they were still occupied by Germany.
Second, Sweden's industrialization level is also very good, and its domestic mineral resources are also very rich, especially its uranium reserves, which are among the top in Europe. A strong level of industrialization, uranium, and Chen Muwu, a Ph.D. in nuclear physics. Needless to say what it means when these three things come together.
Third, during the Cold War, Sweden was neither biased toward the Warsaw Pact nor NATO. It was also the first Western country to recognize the People's Republic of China and establish diplomatic relations with it.
If everything could develop ideally, then Chen Muwu felt that he could develop secretly in Sweden during World War II.
After Haiyanhe is cleared in the future, a large number of scientific and technical personnel he trained in Sweden should be able to easily return to serve the country. Although they may also be obstructed by some countries with ulterior motives, it is better than being directly placed under house arrest. If you can’t get up and go back to your country, you have to be strong.
Chen Muwu was now very grateful that he had not refused the British Embassy's invitation two days ago, and he was also somewhat grateful that this silly Duke of York had given him such a great gift.
Prince Gustav probably also listened to Chen Muwu's deception. He showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while he replied: "Mr. Chen, what you said makes sense. This matter will wait for me." I’ll think about it after I get back.”
Seeing that after this topic, this dinner was going to be a cold one, Prince Albert, as the initiator, couldn't sit still and hurriedly changed the topic: "Mr. Chen, maybe you don't know, but I am also a student of Trinity College. of graduates.”
Chen Muwuxin said, I know too well.
Although the members of the Apostolic Society all came from rich or noble backgrounds, because they were exposed to advanced communist ideas, at regular gatherings every Saturday, the topic that everyone occasionally discussed was how to promote communism. British royal family.
Every time at this time, the second prince in front of them became the object of their ridicule.
Therefore, Chen Muwu not only knew that the Duke of York was a graduate of Trinity College, but also knew that during the year he studied at Cambridge University, he did not attend a few classes in person at all, and had all servants do it for him.
But it was impossible for him to talk about such a topic in front of the person concerned on such an occasion, so he listened to the Duke of York continue without changing his expression.
"Mr. Chen, you have achieved great results in physics, astronomy and this Olympics. As an alumnus, I plan to donate a sum of money to Trinity College as a special scholarship for you. You What do you think?"
Okay, that's pretty much it.
The middle child of the Windsor family is quite good at life. His Highness can earn twelve thousand pounds from a bet. This scholarship has less money, so it’s not appropriate, right?
But Chen Muwu was not satisfied with this. It was rare for him to meet such a rich man without ruthlessly extorting money from him. This would be a disservice to both the Duke of York and himself.
"Your Highness, thank you for your kindness, but the scholarship provided by Cambridge University is enough for my daily life. I think the money you have should be used in a more appropriate place.
"In the Cavendish Laboratory where I am currently working, the annual funding for the entire laboratory is only more than nine thousand pounds. This amount of money can barely maintain the normal operation of the laboratory, and every shilling, every dollar Pennies should be counted carefully.
"Last year, due to lack of experimental funds, we couldn't afford to buy a vacuum pump that Americans asked for 2,000 pounds. If it hadn't been for my good friend, Duke de Broglie of France, who paid for it and brought it back from the United States. If we have this equipment, then maybe the experimental results will be published by other laboratories in other countries first.
"Also last year, I went to the Observatory of Cambridge University and wanted to borrow the astronomical telescope there to observe a certain astronomical phenomenon.
“But when I got there, I was told that the largest telescope at Cambridge University was built ninety years ago, and its aperture was far from being able to support the astronomical observations I wanted to make.
"I was still determined to stay at the observatory and insisted on trying the operation, so I accidentally discovered the ninth planet. You can say that I am very lucky, but in fact, there is a deep hidden truth behind this luck. Unlucky.
"So I think you don't need to prepare a separate scholarship for me, but I hope you can invest the money in places where he should go more, such as providing more scientific research funds for the Cavendish Laboratory.
“I really don’t want to see the University of Cambridge enjoying the title of the best school in the world, only to be overtaken behind the scenes by those rich Americans.”
Although Chen Muwu's words were very selfless and emotional, he also knew very well that the scholarship that originally belonged to him would not be cancelled. After all, the Duke of York was not short of the money.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I have been away from school for several years and I don't know that the school is facing this dilemma now. Now I have decided that in addition to your scholarship, I will also personally donate to the Cavendish Laboratory every year. Donate £10,000 to support scientific research.
"After returning to China, I will send someone to handle this matter. If you encounter other difficulties in Cambridge after this, you can write to me directly and I will do my best to help you solve it."
If Chen Muwu had said these words to him in private, then maybe Prince Albert would not be as generous as he is now.
Coincidentally, on this occasion, there is also an outsider like the Crown Prince of Sweden, Prince Gustaf Adolf.
The Duke of York, whose scars were revealed, had to regain face for his school and his country.
"Then, on behalf of my teacher Sir Rutherford, and on behalf of all the Cavendish Laboratory staff, I would like to express my gratitude to His Highness the Duke."
So this small-scale dinner ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
After leaving the British Embassy and returning to the house where he had lived for the past few days, the first thing Chen Muwu did was to find the cook and ask him to quickly get him something to eat.
There is really not much to eat in British food. If this dinner was held at the Swedish Embassy, Chen Muwu would still be able to eat a few bites of meatballs.
Of course he could not have imagined that the initiator of this dinner was actually the Crown Prince of Sweden, and how deliberate he was to prevent his daughter from meeting Chen Muwu.
However, one meal at the British Embassy gave the Cavendish Laboratory 10,000 pounds of annual funding.
If the purchasing power of the pound is converted into the future, this meal will definitely be more expensive than Buffett's lunch.
The key is that "Buffett" provides the money.
Chen Muwu hopes to have more such meals, the better, and he doesn't mind eating a few more.
I don’t know if after receiving four gold medals at the closing ceremony and returning to school from France, if the teacher Rutherford knew the news, he would regret that he didn’t have another daughter.
There are too many protégés and too few daughters, not enough to marry!
Of course, even if Rutherford did have a daughter, Chen Muwu would never want to become brother-in-law with Fowler.
Because he felt that he seemed to belong to someone now.
