Chapter 628 Crazy Welcome Event

Feng Yiping went to the school to report this time, and it was very grand. Jin Ling and Hong Haoran, who were about to return to China, accompanied him.

After being busy in the United States for so many days, they can count it as a vacation!

What's even more lively is that after entering through the school gate without a school gate, on the Palm Avenue similar to Hollywood, after a while, the two people in the back seat choked.

Hong Haoran, a graduate student here, said, “Many universities claim that their campuses are open, but we, Stanford, don’t have a gate, and don’t even have a school badge.”

"The school's buildings, contrary to the Forbidden City, are uniformly yellow walls and red roofs. You may not know the designer, but you must have been to another well-known work of his - Central Park in New York. Look, in the blue sky Now, how pleasant these buildings look,'

"Look at the woods on the side of the road. Among all the universities in the United States, our school has the best environment. If you look at the RVs in the woods, they are all graduates working in Silicon Valley. They go back to school with their alumni in their spare time. reunion,"

He was usually very calm, but this meeting was very exciting. However, classmate Hong said something full of affection, which made Jin, a Harvard graduate next to him, very upset.

However, student Jin is a proud person, and he doesn't have the title of shrew yet. He frowned and listened for a long time before he said a word that can make people half-dead, "No matter how good it is, it's just Harvard in the west."

Harvard and Stanford have always been entangled. The widely circulated story is that the Stanford couple, in memory of their son who died young, visited the president of Harvard and wanted to donate a library named after his son at Harvard. In front of the museum is a statue of his son.

As a result, first the secretary was negligent, and then the president was arrogant, and he also talked about the need for 40 million US dollars to build a university.

Then, the president of Harvard was slapped in the face by the Stanford couple.

The old lady said, "It takes 40 million US dollars to build a university. We can still spend this money,"

The old man said, "Yes, why don't we build a university?"

Then, they sold some of their property and built a university named after their son, Leland Stanford II, on the farm under their own name, which has more than 8,000 acres.

In short, it is normal for Harvard graduates to dislike the showing off of Stanford graduates.

Hong Haoran's words stopped abruptly, Feng Yiping didn't look back, he knew that he was extremely angry, because he could clearly hear his heavy breathing.

He quietly touched Huang Jingping's hand, and motioned to her to hold the camera that took pictures of himself and the campus. Huang Jingping understood, and quietly pointed the camera at the two people in the back seat.

Hong Haoran panted heavily and stared at Jin Ling, but there was really no way to refute.

Once, Stanford also competed with another friend across the Bay Area, the University of Berkeley, for the title of "Harvard of the West".

In last year's ranking of American universities, Harvard was the second and Stanford was the sixth, neither of the top five.

In the minds of American high school students, the ranking of excellent universities is also HYPSM, that is, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, and Harvard are still in front.

In another indicator of the university, Harvard also far exceeds Stanford in terms of donations received. Although it is not as far away as the time difference when it was first established, the gap is still obvious.

Jin Ling calmly looked at the grass at the end of Palm Avenue and the Stanford University emblem in the middle of the grass—a California redwood tree, and said lightly, "The wind of freedom blows forever? The motto of our school is just one word, truth!"

The breathing behind him got a little rougher.

well said! Feng Yiping expected unkindly, counterattack, must counterattack.

Huang Jingping did the same, although she didn't look back, she held the DV firmly in her hand, fearing that she might miss something.

However, the moment before, the sword was on the verge of breaking out, and the next moment, Hong Haoran, who was extremely angry, suddenly calmed down, and just said calmly, "Huh, one day, everyone will say that Harvard is the Stanford of the East." ,"

At a critical moment, this buddy, like most Chinese men, also gave up in front of women!

it's a pity! How to forget it like this? He had already thought about it, and he wanted to broadcast this conflict between them at the annual meeting.

"There's no excitement to record, Jingping, you can also change the direction of your camera," Jin Ling said.

Hehe, it turned out that she had noticed their small movements a long time ago.

... ... ...

Li Jialun, a Hong Kong international student who is in charge of guiding freshmen from the business school, looked at the tall compatriot in his early twenties in front of him, and said a little funnyly, "Student, you went wrong. This is the business school, and the other undergraduates are over there. "

Stanford's business school is all postgraduates. Li Jialun, seeing Feng Yiping like this, probably hasn't graduated yet!

Huang Jingping hugged Feng Yiping's hand and said, "We came to the business school,"

Li Jialun didn't want to talk to them at all. It seemed that this was another second generation who went abroad to spend his days and nights. What was too much was that he brought his girlfriend along with him, and even brought a special person to record the report.

A buddy next to him in a light green polo shirt suddenly stood up, "Feng?"

"Yes, I am Feng Yiping,"

"Hello, Carl, I'm your freshman guide," the polo shirt held out his hand.

"Please,"

Li Jialun was a little embarrassed. It turned out that he was the youngest exchange student approved by the business school in the legend, and he was also a third-year student at a mainland university?

However, being proud by nature, it is naturally impossible for him to apologize in front of so many people.

Especially Feng Yiping and his group of four, none of them gave him a second look, they had already followed Karl away, he was really ashamed.

Stanford's New Student Guide (NSO) has a tradition that old students lead new students, tell stories about the school's famous buildings, and introduce the school's traditions and history to students. It is an informal tour guide.

However, this Karl is obviously not a conscientious guy, so he asked Feng Yiping, "What club do you like?"

Feng Yiping shook his head. If he was really given a choice, he would be very willing to join the cheerleading team. You know the reason! Cheerleaders in these colleges and universities in the United States, tsk tsk!

However, a pure man like him obviously couldn't get in.

For the rest, forget it, there is no Pacific time.

So, Carl didn't take him to the lively club recruiting new side.

Looking at the people around Feng Yiping, there is no need to go to the freshman discussion meeting. There seems to be no exciting competitions on the other side of the sports field today, so there is no need to go. Finally, he took them to the central building of the school, which was arched one by one. A square surrounded by corridors.

"This is the main courtyard. A hundred-year-old tradition will be held in the past few days. You can come and see the excitement alone," Carl added meaningfully, "It's best to come alone."

What is so mysterious? Feng Yiping looked at Hong Haoran, he smiled without saying a word, seemed to be interested?

"With this as the center, the northwest is the medical school and shopping area, the southwest is the golf course, and the offices of the top venture capitalists in China, the south is the undergraduate dormitory and hiking leisure area, and the east is the life of faculty and graduate students District, the northeast is the sports center," Carl said, regardless of whether Feng Yiping listened or not, "That's about it."

That's it!

"Thank you," Feng Yiping was about to say goodbye to him, and went shopping by himself, such as the library, etc., but Karl held him back with great interest, "Do you want to rent an office in the commercial office area in the southwest corner? "

The guy seems to know a lot!

"No, I'm mainly here to study,"

"You acquired deCarta?" Carl asked suddenly.

No wonder he was so ineffective as a guide, it turned out that he cared about this matter, "How do you know?"

"I have a neighbor who works at Google. He said that after he knew about your acquisition, Page and Brin both said that you are very discerning,"

Hehe, it turns out that those two guys are also interested in deCarta, they are probably saying that I acted too quickly!

It seems that Mike has done a lot of credit this time, and the companies that the two of Google are looking at must be good.

Then, do you want to rent an office here?

"Sister Jin, what activities will be held here?" Huang Jingping still remembered what Karl said just now, why did Feng Yiping come alone? She is curious.

"It's not a good thing," Jin Ling said.

Hearing what she said, Hong Haoran didn't defend himself, instead, he walked towards Feng Yiping and the others with his hands behind his back somewhat unnaturally.

"What's the matter?" Huang Jingping seems to be acting more and more like a baby now.

"They say it's called the Full Moon Celebration, but it actually means that every year when freshmen enter the school, the senior students who are about to graduate can kiss all the freshmen they like,"

"Ah, so barbaric," Huang Jingping couldn't believe it.

"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it must be real," Jin Ling said.

"Then I will definitely not let Yiping participate in this event,"

In fact, she really thinks a little too much. In the United States, whether it is a man or a woman, the mainstream view still likes those blondes. Chinese people like Feng Yiping, unless everyone knows his net worth, or those girls who are about to graduate, will not find him.
