Chapter 715 Return to the Continent
"In East Asia, China, and Japan, I can enter their schools to give lectures. I just need the school to issue me a letter of certification. But in places like South Korea, Thailand, etc., I am afraid that the school will need help in issuing a note in advance.
Let’s communicate.”
New Haven, inside Yale University.
In addition to the students, many teachers were also affected by Carter's phone call to the school. Especially Stevens, Carter's ally.
"How sure are you?"
Lowering his head to sign the fund application form, Stevens asked without looking up.
"It shouldn't be small. If you want to talk about Europe, I don't know much about it, but people in Asia generally want to study in the United States. Oh, by the way, let's send it to India as well. Contact the Indian Institute of Technology and India
Academy of Sciences, the one in Bangalore.”
"Indians? I'm afraid they are not a good choice. Here is the receipt. Just wait until you get the money from the finance department. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm afraid China is not a good choice in your eyes, because they all love science and engineering!"
After complaining a little about Stevens' words, Carter generously accepted the negated note:
"There will always be some people who choose management, right? We don't need many people. Just treat it as a tourist and stop by. In some aspects, India is actually more suitable for us to find international students than China now."
International students. First of all, there is no problem with the language, and secondly, high-caste Indians are generally not short of money, at least not so much for tuition fees."
"As for why I'm so anxious, I'm just idle, just think I'm going out to play! Besides, it's not long or short before school starts. After the change of term in the first half of the year, the time is too short, so I don't have much action, but next time
If I want to implement all my plans in the past six months, I need to have my own team on the student side, and this team needs to be shown by the school to see if they can do it, right?"
"Let me understand, are you flexing your muscles on me?"
Stevens shrugged. From the moment Carter came to power, he realized that this council would never be the same as the previous ones.
Otherwise, where would someone like the president of the student union be talking to the vice president who is directly in charge of student affairs? It would feel like two different organizations are cooperating? Carter has not positioned himself in a subordinate role at all!
That is to say, at Yale, this kind of behavior, in Stevens's eyes, may be a true example of student self-governance; in a university like Harvard, where the president is centralized.
You really want to rebel?!
"It can be understood this way to prevent others from saying that I am nepotistic, right?"
"Let's get on with it. Financial problems are our biggest source of stress now. If we can solve this problem, what's the point of nepotism? You can just replace the board of directors with your own people. I believe your ambition is not in such an acre of land.
"
"We'll talk about this later. I'll take my classmates to apply for a visa first. My visa has not expired, but they..."
After leaving the school office, Carter waved his hand.
Several young men and women waiting downstairs immediately gathered around. There was unconcealable excitement in their expressions!
"Carter, this is what we are"
"Do you know how to do sales promotion? Go to Asian countries to promote our schools and recruit international students."
"Really? We, just a few of us, Principal Stevens gave you the right to recruit students?!"
"What are you thinking? We only accept application forms, and the International Scholars Office is responsible for the specific screening work. How many people can be admitted is their business, but we will set a goal of 800 application forms! I have completed 150 of them now
There are 650 tickets left. I called 8 people in total, and each person received about 80 tickets on average. We have to travel to at least four or five countries, and we have to go to several schools in each country. Is it not difficult to collect such a small number of registration forms?
"
"When you think about it, it doesn't seem difficult."
According to Carter's plan for this trip, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, etc. are all visa-free for holders of U.S. passports. The only two countries that require passports are China and India, which are the highlights of this trip.
And the tight time obviously did not allow Carter and his people to wait in New York for the visa to be processed. Even with Carter's endorsement, it was too late to expedite the application.
But as the saying goes, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!
In the evening of that day, after all the members gathered at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New York, Carter took everyone and flew directly to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong, which has not yet returned to the mainland, is still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom and is visa-free upon arrival. Due to geographical factors, after the re-opening, it is much faster to apply for a pass to enter the mainland from Hong Kong, especially for short-term entry, than to formally apply for a visa!
"The validity period of the pass is only three days, but it can be extended. You can apply for it at the public security organs at or above the county level. I wish you a safe journey!"
Based on the courtesy visa Carter held and the letter of certification produced by Yale University, the passes for Carter and his party were processed quickly.
And Carter once again set foot on Chinese soil.
"It looks so lively here! Although the clothes of these people are a bit rustic and the buildings look a bit low, they don't seem to be as backward as the legend says! They don't live in houses made of mud."
Pass through customs and enter Shenzhen.
Not to mention they are curious, even Carter is curious about what Shenzhen looks like today. However, as far as the eye can see, there is almost a huge construction site
As the forefront of reform and opening up, Shenzhen is now in the era of large-scale infrastructure construction and urban construction. Due to time constraints, Carter and the others, who were in a hurry to rush to Baiyun Airport, did not go deep into Shenzhen city. From a distance, in addition to seeing various construction projects
The equipment is working, what else can you see?!
"Haha, drive well, Manfred. Remember to follow the police car in front, and don't lose it! This is outside the city limits, and many places are not peaceful."
After briefly glancing at the "big construction site" in the distance, Carter withdrew his gaze.
Looking at Shenzhen today, Carter is thinking about another question.
Since we are going to Guangzhou, would you like to visit Sun Yat-sen University?
More than two hours later, the vehicle arrived at Baiyun Airport. Farewell to the escorting police comrades, Carter led his classmates into the terminal, and then boarded the only mini plane in the entire Baiyun Airport.
The crew member who just flew to China to transport giant pandas not long ago, and the official visa in his hand has not yet expired. If it were not for taking care of those classmates who had no time to apply for visas, Carter's trip would not have been so troublesome. After applying for the route, it would be
Can fly directly to the capital
On the plane, several people checked the presentation schedule one last time.
First, Manfred, a guy of Germanic origin who looked like a foreigner at first glance, took the lead in introducing the school. He mainly focused on reporting on academic achievements; then, Lori Warner, a Celtic girl, appeared again to introduce the school.
Affinity talks about campus life; finally Carter talks about historical origins.
