Chapter 718 The American University Rating System
Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Really?"

Watson raised his chin, "I'm the vice president of the MIT School of Computing. It's too late for the presidents of those third-rate universities to please me. How could such a trivial matter not give me face?"

Niu Xiaoqiang turned around and asked curiously: "You are not from the same university, why do they want to curry favor with you?"

Watson looked proud: "Speaking of which, this is related to the American university rating system. American universities are rated according to the hard indicators of scientific research achievements and academic research. As long as scientific research achievements are made or progress is made in academic research, they will Can get the corresponding points, the higher the points, the higher the ranking of the university, I am one of the current reviewers of the rating system, the right to speak is very important, of course they want to curry favor with me, besides—”

Watson changed the subject when he said this: "In addition, I can also help these universities conduct related research. With my assistance, it will be relatively easier for them to produce results. In order to get points, they have to please me. Well."

Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated: "You are a professor at MIT, how can the rating system allow you to be a reviewer?"

Watson waved his hand: "Americans are very particular about personal credibility. They will not deliberately favor anyone in this kind of thing. Once they find out, they will be ruined. It can be said that the gain outweighs the gain. Therefore, we reviewers generally do not make such low-level mistakes. Wrong, of course, this is only for the rating of top universities, those third-rate universities are different, they have no right to speak, if I want to make things worse, no one will speak for them.”

Niu Xiaoqiang said heartily: To put it bluntly, isn't he bullying the weak and fearing the hard?It seems that Americans don't really pay much attention to personal credit, and they are pretty bad when they should be bad.

"As a professor at MIT, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to help other schools do research?"

"Have you heard of joint academic research? For the same project, the sponsor has the right to choose who to cooperate with. This is very common in American universities."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly, took his leave and left.As he walked, he thought to himself: Although it is easy to form a secret deal, it will also help to activate the academic atmosphere and improve the success rate. In terms of policy and freedom, American universities are much more flexible than domestic universities .

Niu Xiaoqiang was a little distracted. When he reached the stairs, he was inattentive and bumped into someone.

He quickly took two steps back, looked up, and then he was taken aback: "Aunt Liu, what are you doing here?"

Liu Hui was hit badly. She rubbed her shoulders and said with an embarrassed smile: "Auntie just saw you go to the second floor, and knew that you must have gone to talk to Professor Watson. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'm just waiting here to see how your talk is going."

Niu Xiaoqiang felt quite helpless about this, and thought to himself: Liu Hui really cares about her daughter's affairs, and wished she could follow and monitor me all the time.

In order to get rid of Liu Hui, Niu Xiaoqiang had no choice but to tell the truth: "I have just talked to the professor about Liu Xue, and the professor promised to help. I guess the problem should not be serious."

Liu Hui was overjoyed when she heard this, and even forgot the pain. She took Niu Xiaoqiang's hand and shook it vigorously to express her gratitude: "Xiaoqiang, thank you, thank you very much! I can finally sleep soundly! "

Niu Xiaoqiang said a few words modestly, and then reminded: "Auntie, there is something I must remind you, even if you don't like to hear it, I have to say it in advance."

Liu Hui asked curiously, "What do you want to say?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's face turned serious: "It's about Liu Xue. Her personality is immature. If she goes to the United States, she may not be able to withstand the temptation of the world of flowers. If she goes astray at that time, you can't complain. I."

Niu Xiaoqiang wasn't talking nonsense, he really felt that Liu Xue had a great chance of going astray.If Liu Hui blames Niu Xiaoqiang for this matter at that time, Niu Xiaoqiang will be too wronged, so he will take the vaccination in advance.

Liu Hui quickly shook her head: "Don't worry, no matter what Xiaoxue becomes, I won't blame you in the future. Although Auntie doesn't have a high level of education, you can still tell the difference between good and bad."

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed, "It's getting late, I'm going home to rest, Auntie should also rest early, goodbye."

"Okay, bye."

Looking at the back of Niu Xiaoqiang leaving, Liu Hui secretly sighed: What a wonderful child, it's a pity that Xiaoxue in our family does not have this blessing. If Xiaoxue can marry Xiaoqiang, I really don't have to worry about anything.

Niu Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry to go home. He entered the office on the first floor and called Yang Jing's home.

The phone rang for a long time before anyone answered, and a woman's voice came across: "Who are you looking for?"

Niu Xiaoqiang guessed that this woman should be Yang Jing's lover, so he didn't hold back, and said directly: "Hello, Auntie, you should be Uncle Yang's lover, right? I'm Niu Xiaoqiang, and I want to talk to Uncle Yang about something. If he is not at home, I will talk to you about the same."

Yang Jing obviously explained it to his family, so when his lover heard that it was Niu Xiaoqiang who was calling, he immediately became extremely enthusiastic: "It's Xiaoqiang, hello, hello! Is there any clue about Xiao Pan's study abroad?" ?”

"Well, the recommender has already arrived at Aoshan. Auntie, please tell uncle that he will bring Yang Pan to Aoshan tomorrow."

"Okay, okay! I will definitely tell him! Xiaoqiang, thank you, come to our house as a guest when you are free, and Auntie will definitely treat you well!"

"Thank you, auntie, good night."

"Good night!"

After hanging up the phone, Niu Xiaoqiang quickly walked out of the guest house, and walked towards his home under the shining light of the bright moon.

There was nothing to say all night, and at eight o'clock the next morning, Niu Xiaoqiang took Watson to visit the Asian Machinery Factory.Originally, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't arrange this link, it was Watson's initiative.

Niu Xiaoqiang acted as a commentator while walking:
"This was originally the automobile assembly workshop of our factory. Due to certain reasons, we have been unable to produce automobiles. We have rebuilt this place and will specialize in assembling motorcycles in the future."

"This is a car engine production workshop, and now it has been transformed into a motorcycle engine production workshop."

"This is the steelmaking workshop. All the metal materials of the Asia Machinery Factory are smelted from here."

"This is a mechanical processing workshop. What is currently being produced is the double donkey head oil extraction machine developed by our factory. The performance of this oil extraction machine has reached the international leading level."

"This is where the research department is located. At present, the Asia Machinery Factory mainly has two research and development projects, one is the electronic injection device for diesel engines, and the other is the research and development project for V8 engines."
