On August 1st, Army Day, Wang Ai was invited by Old Liu to Beihai Park. In front of the Nine Dragon Wall, he met a middle-aged man with a mustache. His clothes were simple and a bit slovenly, but for Old Liu’s introduction.
, Wang Ai thought he was a migrant worker at first glance.
"Speaking of which, this is your fellow Northeasterner, Old Nan, where are you from?"
"Lao Nan" stretched out his hand and shook Wang Ai's hand, speaking with a faint Northeastern accent: "I'm from Liaoyuan, Jilin. Hello, Dr. Wang. I've known you for a long time."
Wang Ai held hands and chatted with this person. Suddenly he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Lao Liu began to introduce seriously: "A few days ago, I went to the Academy of Natural Sciences to do some work, and he happened to be there, working with them on funding. I just chatted with him for a few words. It was quite interesting. By the way, you want to do it.
What is that thing? An astronomical telescope, right? Hey, Xiao Wang, this astronomy is actually closely related to our philosophy, you know, right?"
Wang Ai looked at this "migrant worker" and nodded after listening to Old Liu's words: "Yes, in the early years, Western philosophy was separated from theology. Theology is inseparable from the observation of celestial phenomena, and it is similar here in China.
"
"Hey, that's the thing." Old Liu clapped his hands: "Old Nan is going to build an astronomical telescope, but you have talked to us before, our country is now developing manufacturing, and the service industry is the first, and astronomy is not
It was very urgent and I had no choice but to lean back. So as soon as he said it that day, I knew that this matter would basically never be done. If the hospital has money, it must give priority to other things."
"Oh no!" This person said anxiously, "I won't talk about the international influence of astronomy. Even if China is developing manned spaceflight, its space development cannot be separated from astronomy. Astronomy is very data-hungry. The more complete the resources, the better.
The longer the time, the greater the effect! You have to collect this observation data as early as possible, and the more you can accumulate, the better."
Old Liu pointed at the anxious old Nan and smiled at Wang Ai: "Do you see it? He doesn't even have a good set of clothes. He is squatting at the labor market and can be picked up by a decoration company. Why does he worry about this?
Woolen cloth."
Lao Nan said that Lao Liu was a little embarrassed. He smoothed his white shirt that was full of pleats, but he couldn't tell the difference. Natural scientists are outside their own circle, and they are basically dull people. At least they quarreled with philosophers and took advantage of nature.
Can't win either.
Wang Ai turned his head and looked at Lao Liu up and down: "You're not doing well either."
Lao Liu didn't look good today either. The white shirt might have been washed together with the red underwear last time, and the corners were discolored.
A few people laughed and walked into the park. It was a good day today, the cool breeze was blowing, and they felt comfortable all over.
Wang Ai probably knew Lao Liu's intention. Wasn't it just to watch him spend 28 million euros to buy seven helicopters and compete with rich people? This brought him a far-reaching project for him to invest in. In his opinion,
Instead of spending money randomly, it is better to spend it on decent things.
As for Lao Nan, he probably went to the doctor because he was ill. He couldn't get money, so someone happened to introduce him, so he decided to take care of himself.
As for Wang Ai himself? He has already completed his goals by buying a helicopter, both near and far. Whether it is the R Fund or the Wang Fund, the funds are sufficient, so there is still some spare money in the account and I don’t know what to do with it. Originally, I thought of subprime mortgage next year.
After the crisis broke out, I went to fish for the bottom, but when I went home and met my parents some time ago, this matter was not easy to handle. According to what my parents said: "Even if this matter comes out as you said, you
You can't get anything good. At most, you can get a few properties and wait for them to appreciate in value later. You don't usually study finance. It would be good if you can discover this thing when you engage in philosophy. Don't follow suit. Your family will be in the European and American stock markets.
Do a little, and don’t do much.”
So Wang Ai still has some spare money, so he is happy to chat with these two.
After entering the park, they walked along the corridor by the lake. Old Liu and Wang Aizhu chatted. Old Nan had nothing to say, he didn't understand philosophy, and he wasn't interested in the "bound volume" produced by these young philosophers.
Fortunately, he has developed some patience over the years by looking around for funds. At least he still has some patience. A few people walked to Wulong Pavilion and wanted to sit in the pavilion and chat. Old Liu also knew that he was a bit rash, so he tried his best to calm the atmosphere.
.But he is a philosopher, even though he is a gossipy philosopher, after all, he cannot compare with a real public relations person. Now that he has finished all the gossip in his stomach, he plans to get down to the topic.
But there were a lot of people in the pavilion, and the children were making noise. It was not a good idea to look at a few people. Come on, we walked a few steps to Wulongting Pier and rented a covered cruise ship. Old Liu and Old Nan also argued about who should spend the money.
After spending money to buy mineral water, Wang Ai got on the boat first and looked at the background of the two people and found it interesting.
The astronomical telescope is a hard-earned thing, with no money coming back. Even if there is "money back", it will be beneficial to the country, but it will be a big trap for investors. These two people may feel a little embarrassed to fill the hole for themselves.
, so I tried my best to make up for it.
The final argument between the two was that they each bought three bottles of mineral water, which was not of the same brand. After boarding the boat, they had to compete with Wang Ai for the driver. Wang Ai did not agree and laughed at their old age and frailty, so he pedaled and pushed the water.
The boat arrived at the center of the lake.
It's clean now.
Lao Nan pushed for the mineral water a few times, lit a cigarette against the wind, and then formally spoke: "I knew you when you were admitted to the National People's Congress, a young genius. And you are really good at playing football.
I also watched the World Cup this year, which made me very motivated! I never thought I could get to know you. After all, we are separated by mountains and rivers. Before I speak formally, let me make an apology. The project is a national project, and there are no similar projects in foreign countries.
Occasionally there are private sponsorships, but it mainly depends on the country. Xiao Liu probably saw how miserable I was that day, so he brought me to see you. There must be no return on investment. I came here today to get to know you, by the way.
I want an autograph. My kids at home like you. As for investment, just listen to me when I talk about it. It’s not in vain that you, an internationally renowned star, can pay attention to this unpopular project of mine.
Come."
Wang Ai chuckled, nodded and listened. This was a typical begging face of a pure scholar. He wanted money, but was embarrassed to beg for national projects, but he had to ask for favors himself.
After saying this, this man probably felt relieved because his psychological burden had been lifted. He stretched out his hand to Wang Ai through Old Liu: "Hello, Dr. Wang, I am a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatory, chairman of the Radio Committee of the International Astronomical Society, South China University of Science and Technology.
Rendong."
Wang Ai's heart was filled with turmoil, but his face remained calm, and he reached out his hand seriously: "Hello, Professor Nan, I am Wang Ai, an assistant researcher at the Chinese Society for the History of Philosophy."
