Chapter 364 Honorary Professor
The most important purpose of Chen Shi's speech in this speech is to promote multicultural exchanges between the East and the West.
I said it for nearly thirty minutes, no more or less, just right.
After the speech, I also received dozens of seconds of applause on the spot.
Not to mention the content, just giving speeches without writing, being erotic, able to speak well, and as wonderful as a lotus.
The words with sharp and smooth language expressions, clear thinking and magnificent momentum have to impress these geniuses.
They think that it is amazing to be able to speak so well in English. They can speak authentic Chinese with a foreigner, and it is very accurate and clear, so that they can not shock the Chinese people. I admire it.
"Very great, Mr. Chen Shi." Principal Drew stepped forward and held hands tightly with Chen Shi.
"Thank you, Principal Drew."
Chen Shi admires the principal and academician in his seventies in front of him very much.
Chen Shi shook hands with other leaders and workers of the school and thanked them.
Then, head towards Yang Hanwen and the others.
"Boss, it's so wonderful!"
"Excellently said, conquering the foreigners!"
Yang Hanwen and others, who were also an audience member on the scene, were very proud to see the boss giving speeches freely on the hosting stage.
At every pause, they are the craziest supporters, applauding enthusiastically.
After half an hour of patting, their hands were almost swollen.
Chen Shi also noticed the appearance of their palms, smiled, and patted everyone on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, too."
After the speech, Zach and Chen Shi, as speakers, had dinner with the school leaders.
"Mr. Chen Shi, I want to invite you to study at Harvard University." After the banquet, President Drew warmly invited Chen Shi.
After several hours of getting along and having a short conversation, Drew learned that Chen Shi was really excellent. Needless to say, his English level was, and he knew that he had full scores in TOEFL and IELTS. This alone was very difficult to achieve.
Drew intends to test other aspects of learning, but Chen Shi's answer made him very satisfied.
In addition, Chen Shi himself is a successful businessman, and using his success to prove his excellence is worthy of invitation.
Drew and Harvard's school sincerely invited him, and Chen Shi was not a stingy person either.
"I feel very honored to thank the principal and the Harvard school for their invitation. However, my current focus is on my career. I have family members in China to accompany me. I am very sorry that I cannot study in the United States at present.
However, I want to donate eight million US dollars to Harvard for scholarships for Chinese language and literature students.”
"Oh, I was so surprised. Mr. Chen Shi is so generous. On behalf of the school, I would like to thank you for ensuring that the funds are used in the right place according to your requirements, and the donation is transparent and reasonable." The principal's smile on his face was even more beautiful. Compared to praise, he prefers capitalists to donate money to the school.
"Mr. Chen, although he cannot go to Harvard for further studies, he is a little regretful. You are welcome to Harvard at any time. However, he can serve as an honorary professor of Chinese Language and Literature at Harvard."
Harvard majors are very large, among which undergraduate languages include East Asian languages and civilizations.
Principal Drew just finished speaking, Chen Shi was surprised and Yang Hanwen was surprised.
However, Zach and Robinson were not much surprised and felt normal.
"This..." Chen Shi hesitated, "Principal Drew, do I have that qualification?"
This is Harvard, the world's number one university.
Even an honorary professor is not a real nominal professor, but a great honor.
With Chen Shi's English level, he could hear clearly. When he understood the meaning of words, President Drew was talking about the honorary professor.
Chen Shi believes that being an honorary professor is the reason why he donated money, but he believes that eight million US dollars is not much for Harvard.
Harvard is not short of money. Last year, the cumulative donations reached more than 37 billion US dollars.
Of course, there may be items, books, and cash, of course, but the capital flow does have tens of billions of dollars. This money is used to operate, make money, and with the donations received every year, the savings are increasing.
Therefore, in the 2016-17 school year, the school even issued a total of US$414 million in scholarships.
Harvard scholarships are very high. All families who receive scholarships in the school pay an average of $12,000 in tuition and an average bursary of more than $53,000 in tuition per year.
However, Harvard's undergraduate and miscellaneous fees are also very high. Without scholarship reduction, there will be $50,000 a year.
Although the amount of scholarship is so large, if you want to get it, you must first be admitted to Harvard, which is not something that ordinary academic masters can do.
Not to mention the US dollar, in China, which top-notch university can give students scholarships generally reach 50,000 yuan?
Principal Drew intimately took a photo of the young Chinese man in front of him: "Haha, Mr. Chen Shi, you are too modest. With your achievements and contributions in literature, you are enough to serve as an honorary professor of Chinese literature."
Of course, Drew didn't say it clearly. More importantly, you donated eight million US dollars to the school, which may not be much for the entire Harvard, but for a single major, and a liberal arts, it is enough to improve the development of this major.
Besides, it is worth it to use honorary professors to recruit a young rich man, and are you still worried about donating money in the future?
"Okay, it's a great honor. I don't know what obligation does the honorary professor have?"
Drew suggested: "There is certainly no obligation for the professor to honor, it is an honor."
Of course, if you have the time and interest, you can come to Harvard to talk about Chinese and serve as a visiting professor of Chinese language and literature, which is an obligation.”
Principal Drew doesn't think a rich man would come to serve as a visiting professor. Of course, if Chen Shi really came, it would definitely be very welcome.
"Thank you, Principal Drew, honorary professor is enough."
Chen Shi agreed, and he certainly understood the honorary professor's meaning.
An honorary professor has only reputation but no obligation. He only needs to "give" the title. After a university awards this title to someone, the person can never go to that university forever.
Visiting professors are obliged to do things for the other party, usually by making reports or collaborative research, so they need qualification approval.
Chen Shi, of course, doesn't have that time, and he doesn't like to go to the United States.
Not directly rejecting, it was also a tactful rejection.
After the banquet, Chen Shi and others left Harvard.
At night, we will rush to Chicago Boeing.
