Chapter 26 Confucius Chinese Academy
"No problem, take it and use it!" Li Zetian nodded solemnly and agreed.
"Thank you very much!" Tang Jiawei stood up and bowed to Li Zetian.
"Don't be so polite, this is what I should do!!!" Li Zetian also stood up, "By the way, what is the name of the school? Where is it?"
"The name of the school is Confucius Chinese Academy. It is located in a small abandoned factory near Boston's Chinatown. It covers an area of 12,000 square meters. It's too big a place and I can't afford to rent it. The school will be officially established with a ribbon cutting on April 10th. , external enrollment, welcome you!"
At this time, Tang Jiawei took out an invitation letter from his document bag and handed it to Li Zetian.
"Okay, I will go!" Li Zetian took the invitation and nodded.
"Well, then I'll say goodbye!" Tang Jiawei said
"Okay, let's walk slowly."
Li Zetian sent him to the door of the dormitory.
Back in the dormitory, Li Zetian said to Jingqiu: "Your cousin doesn't look like a Chinese American, but he looks like an intellectual who received traditional Chinese education!"
"Who said that my cousin must be an American immigrant? He is originally Chinese. He came to the United States to study, then worked, and got a green card. But over the years in the United States, he found that there are too many Chinese people who can even speak Chinese. He said, so he made up his mind to quit his job in the bank and open a Chinese school!"
"As expected of your cousin, he is just not simple and deserves praise!"
Yu Jingqiu smiled and said: "Okay, save the words of praise for later. Let's go eat. I want to eat French food today. I heard that a new French restaurant has opened outside the school!"
"good!"
…
After dinner, Li Zetian sent Yu Jingqiu back to the dormitory.
Under the setting sun, Li Zetian was walking and thinking about the problem, and his shadow was stretched very long.
Intel's processors are not sold to individuals, but that doesn't mean Li Zetian can't get Intel8080 information.
When Intel releases such a powerful processor, DEC will definitely buy it as soon as possible and then take it back for research. Li Zetian is still working at DEC, so he has the opportunity to come into contact with the Intel8080 processor!
So when the course ended on the second day, Li Zetian went to DEC Company.
As expected, DEC has purchased a small batch back.
Li Zetian immediately applied to DEC Company to purchase an Intel 8080 processor. DEC Company agreed without doubting his presence. In fact, phenomena like Li Zetian's behavior are very normal in the United States. Many computer enthusiasts like to assemble their computers and replace them with new hardware to make their computers run faster and cooler!
When he got the box with the Intel8080 processor printed on it, Li Zetian was exuding excitement from almost every pore in his body!
"The great career is about to take off!!!" Li Zetian said to himself excitedly.
Holding the box in his arms, Li Zetian couldn't wait to return to Harvard University.
From that day on, Li Zetian was studying Intel8080 and writing BASIC language every day, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep!
On April 10th, if Yu Jingqiu hadn't called him to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of his cousin's college, he might have forgotten it!
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Tang Jiawei introduced his partners to Li Zetian.
Tang Jiawei said: “It is precisely because of such a group of like-minded friends that the ‘Confucius Chinese Language Institute’ was established today!”
Li Zetian nodded and said, "Yes!"
The three men and two women opposite are Tang Jiwei's partners, and they are also the future teachers of Confucius Chinese Academy!
"I congratulate Confucius Chinese Language Institute on becoming better and better, and then open chain stores and develop to every corner of the United States and even the world!" Li Zetian said.
Hearing this, Tang Jiawei was stunned for a while, a chain store? School chain? right! ! ! We just want to open a chain of schools so that more and more people can learn Chinese! ! !
For a time, Tang Jiawei ignited his ambition! ! !
He patted Li Zetian on the shoulder and said loudly: "You are right, we will develop the Confucius Chinese Institute to every corner of the world!!!"
Seeing how excited he was, Li Zetian wanted to tell him that this was simply too difficult. How could the United States just sit back and watch the rise of Confucius Chinese Language Institute? In the previous life, the Confucius Institutes developed too rapidly and were blocked by the US government, resulting in the closure of many Confucius Institutes.
Of course, the Confucius Institute is officially run, while the Confucius Chinese Institute is privately run. It is more like a Chinese training institution. The nature of the two schools is different. Perhaps the U.S. government will not suppress the Confucius Chinese Institute too much.
The ceremony was very lively, and a dragon and lion troupe was invited to perform and beat gongs and drums, attracting many people around.
Before the official enrollment, Tang Jiawei and others printed many school brochures and distributed flyers in Boston's Chinatown. At this time, many people came to sign up. Seeing that Tang Jiawei and others were very busy, Li Zetian offered to help them register the students who came to register.
Ten minutes later, Li Zetian saw an old man in his seventies, short and stooped walking in front of him.
"Hello, old man, are you okay?" Li Zetian asked.
The old man said nothing.
Li Zetian thought he was deaf, so he raised his voice and asked again: "Hello, are you okay?"
At this time, he spoke.
"Hello, I'm deaf and can hear you clearly!"
Li Zetian moved a stool to the old man.
After the old man sat down, he slowly asked: "Is this a school that teaches Chinese and learns to write Chinese characters?"
"Yes, this is the Confucius Chinese Academy, which specializes in teaching Chinese and writing Chinese characters! Are you planning to sign up for your children?" Li Zetian asked.
The old man shook his head, placed a black leather bag on the table, and then opened the zipper.
Li Zetian noticed that the contents of the black leather bag were all U.S. dollars, lots and lots of U.S. dollars, at least more than 100,000 U.S. dollars.
Li Zetian was immediately confused. He said to the old man: "The registration fee is very cheap, only 200 US dollars. There is no need to bring so much money. And it is very dangerous for you to bring so much money when you go out alone. You must have it next time." Only if your relatives accompany you!"
"I'm not here to sign up, I'm here to donate the money to the school!"
"Old man, the money in this bag is at least 100,000 US dollars. Are you sure you want to donate?" Li Zetian was very surprised.
The old man laughed and replied in a very positive tone: "I'm sure!!!"
The old man's clothes were not only old, but also patched. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a rich man. However, Li Zetian was very surprised to donate so much money all of a sudden!
The old man began to talk to himself at this time.
"My name is Zhang Defa. I came to the United States seventy years ago when I was only 6 years old. I have done many jobs, begging for food, picking up garbage, riding a tricycle, coal miner, railway worker, dishwasher, construction worker, restaurant Waiter... As long as it is a job that I can do, I will do it! I don’t steal or rob. Although I make less, I am happy. The only thing is that I miss my motherland, my hometown, and the people in my hometown. Every relative! After living a lifetime, I feel that the biggest regret in my life is that I have not learned the language of my motherland! I am old now and can no longer learn. I hope that I can help those who want to learn the language of my motherland. The compatriots provide me with their own meager help, so I decided to donate all the money I have earned in my life to help those compatriots who cannot pay their tuition..."
After listening to the old man's words, Li Zetian couldn't help but feel moved!
