Chapter 309 Procurement

Hadley University has been very busy recently. Every day, businessmen bring boxes of silver coins and entrust them with the development of machinery or R\u0026D cooperation.

There are also related families from various places who are preparing to send their children to college.

As for private applications, they are too numerous to count.

Foreigners like Andre are definitely at the back of the queue. Under normal circumstances, his turn will not be available for a year.

The people of the Northern Principality are proud from the bottom of their hearts, and there are no companionships or scholarships.

On the contrary, gringos can go as far as they go.

have opinions?

First win on the battlefield and then talk about it. How can Bi Lian come from a group of defeated subordinates?

If it weren't for the intervention of unknown forces from above, Andre's application would probably end up in the trash can.

Until now, he was moved to the front row, and a vice principal was responsible for receiving him.

The application for a visit to the Duke's residence was unsuccessful, and Andrei was mentally prepared.

Fortunately, there was a positive response from Hadley University, so he was relieved.

On the day of the meeting, Andre was still saying to his subordinates on the way: "I heard that the application pass rate of Hadley University is very low. It seems that this time I agreed to meet for the sake of the kingdom. Everyone will be smarter later." Don’t miss this opportunity.”

He knew that his status as court earl was not worth mentioning here, and few people cared about his status as a branch of the royal family. The only reason was that the banner of the Griffin Kingdom had an effect.

After all, it is an established kingdom and still has some influence in this land.

When you are abroad, you can feel the strong influence of your motherland behind you. In addition to being proud, you can also feel a little more secure.

Andrei attached great importance to this visit.

He will not have any arrogant thoughts because of his identity, and he respects Hadley University.

Respect comes from knowledge. When knowledge can be transformed into strength, even nobles will lower their arrogant heads.

After getting off the carriage, Andre straightened his clothes first, and the entourage around him naturally didn't dare to show any signs of neglect.

Andre and his entourage stood outside the door. His entourage came forward to negotiate and took out the greeting card with a reply: "Your school agrees to our visit today. Do you have time now?"

There are still some differences in appearance between the people of the Griffin Kingdom and those of the Northlanders.

The guard took the invitation with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

We receive a lot of guests these days, but not many foreigners.

After confirming the authenticity of the invitation, I checked the appointment book and found that there was indeed such an appointment.

"Principal Delong is already waiting for everyone, please."

A doorman left his post and led Andre and his party into the house.

This is a five-story office building, which is considered a high-rise building in this era.

The floor is covered with the latest product - ceramic tiles.

For Andre, who is used to seeing marble, ceramic tiles look much more advanced.

This new product has not yet been launched outside the market.

Walking around the university, you can always find something new.

A peek inside the tube reveals the heritage of Hadley University.

The accumulation of time is not necessarily the foundation.

But knowledge must be foundation.

Vice Principal Delong's office is on the second floor. This location is just right. You don't have to climb the stairs and you can see the scenery outside from a high position.

Even the shade of the trees outside the window just blocks some of the sunlight and brings a bit of coolness.

The guard knocked on the door, and Vice Principal Delong stood up to greet him, but there was no more action.

The furnishings in the house are also very simple. At least Andre has seen too many luxurious decorations, but rarely seen wall-to-wall bookshelves.

The only thing that can be regarded as decoration is a set of standing armor.

What is considered a luxury is the ice basin placed next to it.

At other times, seeing such a simple room, Andre would laugh at the other person for not having an aristocratic air.

But at this time, strangely, a feeling of admiration arose in his heart: "It is indeed a place for serious academic research, full of the aroma of books."

Can the things that happen to scholars be called poverty? That's called simplicity.

It has to be said that Andre was completely brainwashed by what he saw and heard in the past few days.

So after what he saw and heard, he automatically made a bunch of excuses, and he blindly felt that everything at Hadley University was good.

Even if Vice Principal Delong didn't come out to greet him, he didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, he felt flattered. Didn't he even see the principal standing up?

In this state of mind, he took the initiative to take off his hat, clasped his left hand on his chest, and bowed to greet you: "It's a great honor to meet you, Principal Delong."

"Vice-Principal, Vice-President, please take a seat." Vice-Principal Delong was very humble and extended his hand to invite everyone to sit down.

"Count Andrei, I already know your purpose of coming. Generally speaking, there is no problem."

"Thank you for your generosity." Andre just sat down and stood up excitedly.

"Science has no borders, and we very much hope to help more people." Delong had a righteous look on his face, and then suddenly said: "For teaching assistance, you need to contact the teachers who are willing to go. For purchasing machinery, I can help you contact some manufacturers. , if you have any research projects, I can also recommend some professors for you.”

Deron generally agreed with Andre's intention, but he was not too enthusiastic.

This satisfied him very much. If the other party was too enthusiastic, he would feel there was something wrong.

"I have a list of items I wish to purchase, and I hope you can help me take a look at it."

After Andre finished speaking, the attendant respectfully handed over a list.

As an envoy, he also has certain permissions.

Moreover, he represents a part of the noble power, so it is very simple to use a sum of money to purchase machinery.

Delong looked through them and found that they were all machines that could quickly generate economic benefits.

Of course, there were also some sensitive instruments hidden in them.

But he agreed without hesitation.

"No problem, they are all simple machines. I will help you contact a group of manufacturers to ensure that the price and quality are guaranteed."

Delong has a wide network of contacts. He called an assistant and directly handed over the task of contacting the other party.

Andre did not make any further requests.

This was the first meeting, and he had already gained a lot.

Next, he invited several university students as consultants to purchase along the way and found that the price and quality were very cost-effective.

Then a large number of machines were packed on the train and transported to Digen Port by rail, and then transported to the Griffin Kingdom from there.

Andre himself purchased a large number of books, but he encountered difficulties in inviting lecturers and scholars. Even if the price was very high, no one was willing to leave the current academic center and go to the academic desert of the Griffin Kingdom.

Now is the time to produce results. All kinds of new knowledge are gushing out every day. If you leave here for a year, you may be out of date.

Most people still have aspirations, at least they are unwilling to leave their hometowns before they see hope.
