Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 143
Li Lei became anxious when he heard that, and quickly stuffed a whole pack of cigarettes, "What happened to him? Is it serious?"

"Are you his relative?" The housekeeper saw that it was Hongtashan, and immediately shook everything out, "It could be something, it's all because of the number of places to study abroad!"

"Originally, according to the notice issued by the school, the places for studying abroad are arranged according to a lot of rules and regulations, such as academic performance, English proficiency, political performance, and family status. He is number one in the class, and his English proficiency doesn’t matter, he has been a class monitor, and his family is a worker, so it should be his turn no matter what!”

"However, when the quota was about to be determined, the school suddenly issued a notice stating that in addition to these factors, the allocation of departments should also be considered. Last year, someone from the Department of Chemical Engineering went abroad, and this year it cannot be returned to the chemical engineering department. Department? Therefore, students from the Department of Chemical Engineering are directly disqualified from participating in the selection."

"A few days later, the list was announced, and there was no teacher Jiao's name. Later, there were rumors that Ma Guoming from the Department of Economics robbed him of his spot. After thinking for a long time, I figured out such a way!"

"Teacher Jiao was very sad that he didn't get the quota. When he heard that it was the case, he couldn't take it anymore and rushed to the leader's office to make a fuss! It's a pity that it's useless. People's leaders can't do things well." Do you want to give a poor student a handle?" It's not even the end of class time, and the door of the dormitory is deserted, so the dormitory guard is a little bolder, and dares to tell Li Lei even this kind of thing.

"The leader got angry at such a fuss and said he was going to be punished, but Professor Tang finally stopped him! After Mr. Jiao came back, he lay in the dormitory for two days without drinking a drop of water or eating a mouthful of food. No matter who said it, it didn't work! On the third morning, I left the dormitory suddenly and never came back!"

"Professor Tang and his classmates have been looking for more than a day, and they haven't found them yet. I'm so anxious now, I'm anxious after reading it!" , look at harming good people, hey, if he can't think about it, then things will become big."

Wocao, this problem is serious!No wonder Jiao Gaoliang has such a good foundation and has an authority in the industry like Tang Liqiang as a teacher, so he died in obscurity in later generations. Is it because of this?

"Thank you! I'm going to ask Professor Tang!" Li Lei ran away, fearing that he would be too slow to walk, so he rushed to the door of Tang Liqiang's office and knocked on the door.

"Professor Tang, I heard something happened to Mr. Jiao? How is it now? Has anyone found it?" Li Lei asked quickly as soon as he entered the door.

"Not yet, someone saw him get on the train to the train station, and he didn't know where he went when he arrived at the train station! I also asked someone to go to his hometown to check, but I didn't hear that he went home." Tang Liqiang frowned. , the ashtray in front of him is already full, and he has been anxious these days.

"Have you visited the train station?"

"I went, but there are so many people coming and going in and out of Zhongzhou Railway Station every day, and Gao Liang looks so ordinary, who can remember where he went? Now I can only send telegrams to his classmates and friends as much as possible to let them know. Hurry up and let me know, but it's a pity that I still got nothing!" While speaking, Tang Liqiang lit another cigarette.

"Do you have a photo of him here? I'll go to the train station to try my luck!" Li Lei thought of Yu Jingshu's brother-in-law, Qiao Aihua, who works at the train station and is sociable, so maybe he can come in handy.

"Yes, this is his student ID card. When he left, he didn't bring any photos of him and his classmates going out to play." Tang Liqiang took out several photos.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Li Lei didn't care about the politeness, took the photo and went out. He stopped the car while running on the road, took a taxi and went straight to the train station.

Find Qiao Aihua, explain the matter in a few words, and then take out Jiao Gaoliang's photo, "Uncle, can you find this person?"

"This matter is not easy to handle." Qiao Aihua knew the seriousness of the matter, put away the old escapades, and pondered seriously, "The passenger flow of our train station can rank among the top three in the country, and people walk in like water droplets. It's like the sea, ordinary people can't find it!"

Nowadays, there is no real-name system for train tickets, and there is no monitoring at the train station. It is almost impossible to find someone, especially at a big station like Zhongzhou Station. , see if there is any other way?"

"Then I know I'll go to old Chen with divine eyes, you come with me!" Qiao Aihua said as he walked, "Old Chen is an old policeman from our railway station police station. He used to be a hunter in the mountains. People who have passed before his eyes can be clearly remembered after several years!"

"Since he came to the train station, none of those petty thefts have escaped his eyes, and he can catch you a wanted criminal every now and then! If the person you are looking for has been seen by Lao Chen, he will definitely remember it! "

"Is there such a god-man?" Li Lei opened his eyes, this is not a human, it is simply a super pattern recognition computer!

Arriving at the ticket office of the railway station, Qiao Aihua found a middle-aged man in plain clothes with an unattractive appearance, "Old Chen, I need your help."

Arriving at a secluded place, Qiao Aihua handed him the photo, "Have you seen this person before?"

Old Chen stared at the photo for only ten seconds, and said firmly, "Yes! He was a little out of his mind when he entered the train station. He stood in line at the ticket window for a long time. The conductor asked him where he was going, but he couldn't remember for a while. , The people behind were getting impatient, so he said he was going to the capital."

"As a result, I fumbled in my pocket for a long time but didn't come up with any money. I thought the situation was wrong. I wondered if he was going to the capital to wreak havoc, so I took him back to ask!"

"Is that person still with you?" Li Lei asked hastily.

"Should still be there. Yesterday I didn't ask a few words and he passed out. I ran out to buy him glucose and steamed buns. This guy fell asleep after eating. He didn't wake up when I left, so I don't know. What's going on now! What exactly does this person do? What's your relationship with him?" Old Chen asked.

Thank God, I finally found it. Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief, "He is a graduate student of the Chemical Engineering Department of Zhongzhou University, and I am the director of the Heyang Fertilizer Factory. He helped our factory solve technical problems before. Being robbed was a little irritated, and I ran out of the school alone."

"Hey, he's still a college student. It's a good thing I picked it up, otherwise it would be a big loss! Come on, I'll take you to identify it! See if it's the person you're looking for!" Lao Chen hurriedly took them to the police station.

Fortunately, there were no other omissions. When Li Lei entered, Jiao Gaoliang was still lying in the detention room and sleeping soundly. Lao Chen was a little embarrassed, "The place in the cell is not spacious, and I dare not let him escape without asking about the situation." It’s over, as long as it’s stuffed here, don’t worry, I won’t let anyone else in.”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as someone finds it, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would happen to him!" Li Lei hurriedly stepped forward to confirm that it was Jiao Gaoliang.

Thinking of what happened to him in the past few days, I didn't have the heart to wake him up, so I borrowed the phone number from the police station to call Tang Liqiang, "Professor Tang, Gao Liang has been found, he is fine, he is sleeping at the train station, I will wake up when I wake up." Just take him back."

"Great, I can finally let go of my heart. Can you handle it alone? How about I go there now?" Tang Liqiang was also relieved.

"No, no, just wait at school. I'll call you if I need help!" After hanging up the phone and waiting for a while, Jiao Gaoliang finally woke up.

"Director Li Li, why are you here? Where am I?" Just after waking up, Jiao Gaoliang was still a little dazed.

Fortunately, under Lao Chen's reminder, Jiao Gaoliang quickly remembered, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble!"

"Young people, it's not easy to be admitted to university. Don't be overthinking when you encounter things. There is still a long way to go. If you can't get out this time, let's work harder next year!" Lao Chen comforted.

"There is no chance. The number of places for current students is so difficult, let alone the teacher!" It's okay not to say, but when Jiao Gaoliang said it, he started crying again.

"Since I was admitted to graduate school, I have thought about going abroad, memorizing vocabulary, going to the Friendship Hotel as a translator for foreigners for free, in order to practice English well; I dare not stop at all in my studies, winter vacation, summer vacation, others go home Yes, I'm still studying at school. It turned out to be good, but I was snatched away by others when I was about to succeed! Woooooooo~~"

Jiao Gaoliang cried so much that he heard sad people cry, and Qiao Aihua couldn't help cursing a few words, "Hey, this person is a bit too incompetent!"

"Don't cry, don't cry, if you want to go abroad, I have a solution! If you can't get a place to study abroad at public expense, can we pay for it by ourselves!" Li Lei couldn't stand the crying.

In 1978, studying in the United States, which had been interrupted for many years, resumed, and the first batch of 52 carefully selected students boarded the flight to the other side of the ocean.

Three years later, all the 52 students returned to China after completing their studies, and they all became leaders in various fields in the future. Among the nine international students from Tsinghua University who went to the United States, three were elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Academy of Engineering.

In the following years, the number of international students continued to increase, and the majors they studied also expanded from the field of science and technology to economics, business management and other majors.

Many influential figures have emerged among them, such as Justin Yifu Lin who swam across the Strait with a basketball in his arms. In 982, he was favored by Nobel Prize winner Schulz in economics and recommended to study agricultural economics at the University of Chicago.

For example, Wu Ying, the boss of PHS, resigned this year from Beijing Institute of Technology, which treated him well, and was admitted to the New Jersey Institute of Technology. With a suitcase and 30 dollars, he came to the United States alone to study for a master's degree.

Another example is Zhang Chaoyang, who was born in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province. The way he went abroad was to take the Lee Tsung-Dao Scholarship. At that time, there were 700 top students from all over the country taking the exam, but there were only 100 scholarships. One can imagine the fierce competition. In the end, He was one of [-] people chosen.

Later, someone asked Zhang Chaoyang, who has become the head of Sohu, "Can you bear the psychological pressure when facing venture capital?"

Zhang Chaoyang replied, "The pressure is much less than that when I took the exam at Tsinghua University."

There is also Wang Xiaobo, whose wife Li Yinhe went abroad first, and he waited for two years before going to the University of Pittsburgh to reunite with his wife.

Over the past few years, the vast majority of international students have studied abroad at public expense, but there are also a small number of self-financed ones. It was Hai Wen, a colleague of Justin Yifu Lin’s National Development Institute, who set the precedent.

Hai Wen graduated from Peking University, but failed to receive public funding to study abroad, so he could only consider self-funding. He rode a bicycle to and from the school and BJ Library, copied the address of the American University from Beitu, and sent letters to the United States. He was admitted to Long Beach State University in California, becoming Peking University's "No. 1 self-funded study abroad" after the reform and opening up.

Last year, the Government Affairs Council issued the "Interim Regulations on Studying Abroad at Self-Finance", which opened up channels for people to study abroad at their own expense, and the number of self-funded students studying abroad ushered in an explosion.

According to statistics from later generations, the total number of students studying abroad this year is 3.8, of which 7000 are self-funded students, accounting for one-fifth.

However, considering the economic gap between China and foreign countries, at this time most of the people who can go abroad at their own expense are not ordinary people. They are either the children of those who got rich first, or the children of high-ranking cadres, or people with overseas relations, or re-implemented. The capitalist offspring of policy.

Jiao Gaoliang is also very aware of this, so he just shook his head bitterly after hearing Li Lei's words, "It's easier to pay by yourself than by the public, but it's too much money, even if you squeeze my family dry, it won't be enough."

"You don't have one, I can lend it to you!" Seeing him like this, combined with the fact that his name will not be found in the industry in the future, Li Lei thought, if he didn't intervene, he probably wouldn't be in the mood to stay in school and continue his work. With his academic career over, Li Lei really couldn't bear to see such an outstanding talent being buried.

"You loaned it to me? Director Li, it's not just a little bit of money! It has to be foreign exchange!" Jiao Gaoliang couldn't believe for a moment that someone would lend him such a large amount of money for no reason, and did he have the money?

"Small things, you have stayed in Heyang for a while, you should know that my eggs are in high demand, and this money is not a problem for me at all; as for foreign exchange, you have seen Ma Tianyou and Mr. Ma from Xiangjiang. If you have a good relationship with him, asking him to help you exchange some dollars is just a matter of words!"

"I only have one small condition. I will lend you the money for your study abroad. After you graduate, you will work in the Heyang Fertilizer Factory for a few years, and you will not have to pay back the money!" The chief engineer of a large fertilizer plant is not a problem at all.

This kind of high-level talent is hard to come by, and it is worth spending some money for it. Li Lei is not afraid of him running away. He will definitely sign a contract when he borrows money. If he dares not to pay back, then see you in the American court. !
