Chapter 514: The Drunk Man’s Intention

"As the discoverer of graphene materials, it is said that Mr. Zhou is likely to win the Nobel Prize for this in the next few years. What do you think of this rumor?"

"The discovery of graphene is a miracle. I believe that graphene, an important nanomaterial, will have a profound impact on human life. As for the Nobel Prize, that's not something I need to consider."

"Where is Mr. Zhou's itinerary for this trip to Amsterdam? Will he communicate with our Dutch scientists about graphene preparation technology?"

"I came here this time at the invitation of many universities such as Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam to make some visits on the current development of the electronics industry and new nanomaterials. As for the exchanges with scientists in the same industry, there will definitely be, and it will not be limited to the graphene field."

...

Secretary Sun and Director Wang asked Zhou Shuo clearly about Zhou Shuo's situation and complained: "In recent years, graphene technology has been discussed a lot in the European scientific community and is a strong competitor to the Nobel Prize in Physics in the next few years. I heard that Zhou Shuo will come to the university in Amsterdam to give a lecture, which has attracted many scientists and scientific journalists in this field. As early as yesterday afternoon, the embassy has received inquiries from relevant media. Although they are not big newspapers, they still have a great impact in their professional fields."

"The embassy attaches great importance to this matter and thinks it is a good opportunity to promote my country's scientific and technological level." Secretary Sun suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, since you came off a plane, why didn't you walk together? Now that Zhou Shuo appears alone in front of the reporter, the effect of this publicity is much worse!"

Director Wang glanced at the middle-aged woman lightly, shook her head gently and said, "There was a little misunderstanding before. Xiao Zhou had no choice but to leave by himself..."

"you!"

Secretary Sun couldn't help but snorted and said annoyed: "Divorce is nothing small in diplomacy? I've been abroad, why don't you know how to unite comrades! I'll pass this incident back to China. Let's talk about it at that time. Whoever caused the impact may need someone to eliminate it. Zhou Shuo is not only a scientist, but also a world-famous entrepreneur. He has billions of assets in the United States! He doesn't know how to restrain himself when he goes abroad!"

Director Wang nodded and said blankly: "Secretary Sun said that some of our comrades have indeed lower requirements for their own quality..."

Hearing Director Wang's words, the middle-aged woman's face turned pale and she couldn't help but shake her body. Although her temper was not good, it did not mean she was an idiot. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a document to the Economic and Trade Commission to inform her of her performance, maybe even her old man's career would be affected!

"Okay, I'll take you to the hotel first." Secretary Sun couldn't tell who was the culprit, but he didn't say much, just turned around and left with a cold face.

Zhou Shuo is indeed somewhat influential in Europe, but it is probably necessary to continue to observe whether he can open up the situation for his work here. Before this, Secretary Sun should not make too many statements. Since he missed the promotion opportunity when the airport exits, it would be better to have a long way to go.

Zhou Shuo saw Director Wang and his team of inspection team leave from the corner of his eyes, and then answered several questions from the reporters, and then ended the interview gently and politely.

Just behind the reporter, Leiden University reception staff had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the reporter dispersed, a middle-aged foreigner with a golden beard hurried over.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Porter Miller, a professor in the Department of Chinese and Chinese Culture at Leiden University." The visitor actually greeted Zhou Shuo in standard fluent Mandarin.

"Hello Professor Miller, your Chinese is awesome!" Zhou Shuo was obviously a little surprised. There was a professor who knew Chinese at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

"Chinese and Chinese culture are profound knowledge. If you want to study the history and culture of China, one of the four ancient civilizations, it is impossible to have a good Chinese language." Porter Miller shrugged and said naturally.

Leiden University has a history of more than 400 years since its establishment. It ranks 29th in the world and is one of the most academically reputable comprehensive universities in Europe. Not to mention Chinese professors, even Sanskrit and cuneiform characters are many people. Ask for a Chinese professor to receive Zhou Shuo as a translator. Only Leiden University is so generous to kill chickens and use a trumpet.

Of course, if Zhou Shuo really wins the Nobel Prize one day, he will be worthy of this treatment.

Professor Miller first explained, and then asked: "We have prepared a welcome ceremony for you at Leiden University. Is Mr. Zhou going to go directly to Leiden University, or to settle down and have a good rest in the hotel?"

Zhou Shuo thought for a while and said with a smile: "There is an old Chinese saying that guests follow the host's will. I come from far away and I will naturally follow Professor Miller's arrangements."

"Okay, I think I'll go and have a rest first. Our welcome ceremony can be changed to a dinner party, and more professors can be invited to attend."

"Then I'll trouble Professor Miller."

Miller and Zhou Shuo said as they walked, leaving Amsterdam Airport and headed towards Leiden University.

The area of ​​the Netherlands is really not large, but it is actually equivalent to the jurisdiction of four or five prefecture-level cities in China. Leiden University is built outside the city of Amsterdam, and it can even be said to be a university town. With the area of ​​the Netherlands, it really cannot be said that the scale difference between the university town and the city is not big. Anyway, in Zhou Shuo's opinion, it is not big.

After nearly an hour of getting in the car, I saw the appearance of Leiden University Town from afar. The Dutch culture has a long history and the form of buildings has a unique historical heritage.

Quiet streets, windmill mill style buildings, ancient castles and churches with towering bell towers...

Various scenery flashed along the way, which made Zhou Shuo, who had never been to the Netherlands, dazzled. Amsterdam is the largest and most prosperous city in the Netherlands. It has a beautiful environment, complete infrastructure, and people's lives are comfortable and leisurely. The most important thing is that the air here is fresh and the sky is blue.

"One day, the Embroidered City will become such a beautiful and fertile city."

Zhou Shuo walked into the campus of Leiden University with such an sigh.

The accommodation arranged for him by Professor Miller is very unique. A small four-story hotel with an ancient and warm interior decoration. Looking out from the windows of the hotel lobby, there is a wide river flowing quietly across the street. There is even a floating open-air restaurant on the embankment and the river surface. Occasionally, pure white wooden sailboats pass by, and melodious ringtones will be heard.

"This is so beautiful!" Zhou Shuo couldn't help but exclaim, looking at Miller and said, "Professor Miller, Leiden University is worthy of being the top university in Europe. The campus scenery alone is so beautiful, and I can't wait to communicate with the scientists here."

Professor Miller obviously enjoyed Zhou Shuo's praise and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, we will arrange for you to give a speech at Leiden University tomorrow. By the way, are your speech ready? If it is convenient, can you come up with a written material regarding the theme and content introduction of the speech?"

"Everything is ready, I'll give it to you now."

Zhou Shuo put the greeting in the hotel room, then opened the suitcase and took out a document and handed it to Professor Miller. The document was written in English. Fortunately, the Dutch people generally understand English, so Miller didn't seem to have much effort.

However, although he is a professor in the Department of Chinese and Chinese History, he can still understand the minimum research direction. After looking at Zhou Shuo’s documents, he said in surprise: “Mr. Zhou, if I remember correctly, aren’t you the physical direction of materials you are studying? Why are there so many electronics content in this speech?”

"This is some information about my company, Fanhan Group." Zhou Shuo smiled and did not directly answer Professor Miller's question. Instead, he took out a stack of documents from his suitcase and placed it on the table and pointed it at him: "I know that the Netherlands is the country where ASMA, a world-renowned lithography machine manufacturer, is located. I want to have extremely high technical levels in optics, cutting-edge machinery manufacturing, and electronics."

"I am here this time not only to exchange research progress in material physics, but also to communicate with scientists in the electronics field in the Netherlands, especially in the fields of chip manufacturing and... wireless communications."

"This is probably different from what we said before?" Professor Miller frowned.

"Not afraid, not afraid, I just want to trouble Professor Miller. You hand over this document on the current research progress in the electronics field of our Panhan Group to these professors-" Zhou Shuo pointed to the names marked on the document and said with a smile: "If these professors are not interested in our research progress, then my speech will definitely not exceed the previous agreed outline. What do you think?"

"I need to report this to the school. But if the professors of Li can recognize it, there should be no problem."

li is the abbreviation of Leiden Advanced Computer Science Institute, the institution with the highest level of computer and chip technology at Leiden University. It is not easy to be recognized by Li professors, but Zhou Shuo's expression looks full of confidence.
