Chapter 1044 Standing on the podium of a world famous school
After Elizabeth visited it, she was full of praise.
Qin Fan was amused. Elizabeth had lived in splendid royal buildings for a long time and had developed an immunity to luxury.
It was naturally refreshing to see such a traditional B&B.
It's like being used to eating big fish and meat and suddenly tasting a plate of green vegetables.
Elizabeth was even more surprised by the various medical books displayed in the study.
Of course, all she could see were the peripheral books.
The books in the secret door are not open to the public, and only the head of the family, Qin Fan, can enter.
After the visit, Qin Fan accompanied Elizabeth, Prince Henry, and Lu Zhenru to the hall.
In the hall, besides Jiang Cheng, there were Jiang Tianrui and Fang Jie. Zhou Yulan was not present because she had to take care of her children.
Everyone else could only watch from a distance.
After sitting down, Han Ling took the tea from the nanny and sent it into the hall.
Because this was just a private visit, Jiang Cheng and Elizabeth had a very casual conversation.
Qin Fan still acted as translator.
"Mr. Qin, I have something very important to do here this time." Elizabeth finally got to the point.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I heard that there is a Bianque College in Haizhou, China? Did you donate it?" Elizabeth asked.
Qin Fan was shocked. Although Bian Que Academy had been renamed, although the overall situation had improved, its popularity was far from enough.
But Elizabeth, who was far away overseas, knew it.
He nodded and said: "Yes, its predecessor was Haizhou College of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Elizabeth nodded, "Henry, please tell Mr. Qin the specific content."
"Mr. Qin, the Royal Medical College under our royal family wants to conduct a long-term exchange program with Bianque College."
"Her Majesty the Queen brought us here just to discuss it with Mr. Qin," Henry said.
Jiang Cheng, Jiang Tianrui, and Qin Fan all looked at each other.
Naturally, the three of them were happy to see this exchange student plan come to fruition, and they were very happy in their hearts.
The Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom is a world-renowned institution, and we can enter into an exchange program with them.
The quality of teaching is of great benefit to improving the international reputation of Bianque College.
But an old, world-famous school wants to conduct an exchange program with a new, little-known school.
This olive branch that came out of nowhere seemed to come too easily.
Qin Fan smiled and said, "Prince Henry, please tell us your detailed conditions."
"Hahaha, it's so refreshing to talk to Mr. Qin." Henry laughed.
"We are interested in Bian Que College, mainly because this school was donated by Mr. Qin and named after Bian Que."
"After our investigation, we found that many of the visiting professors are from Mr. Qin's Bian Que Medical Clinic."
"They all have rich clinical experience and are famous experts with real talents and knowledge."
"So, the Royal Medical College can provide 20 exchange student places to Bianque College."
"Of course, we will send 50 students from the Royal Medical College to Bianque College at the same time."
"Each exchange student's off-site study period is one year, but we hope that the professors who can take the exchange students must be visiting professors from Bianque College."
This European really puts his interests first. As long as he comes into contact with business matters, he will keep his personal relationships aside.
However, Qin Fan really appreciated this way of dealing with the world, distinguishing between public and private matters.
To be honest, Bianque College took advantage of this exchange program.
Being able to conduct an exchange program with the Royal College of Medicine is a dream that many well-known universities in China dream of.
The most important thing is that the other party also provided 20 exchange student places at one time.
Don't underestimate the fact that there are only 20 places. The Royal Medical College is like milking cows, and they are squeezed again and again to free them up.
The number of exchange students in prestigious universities is limited, not unlimited.
There are more places for exchange students here, so naturally there will be fewer places for other schools.
It's like a bowl that can only hold so much water.
Bianque College is relatively relaxed. It is not even a prestigious school. Let alone 50 places, there is no pressure for 50 more places.
What the Royal College of Medicine wants is to have truly capable visiting professors to lead exchange students.
Only in this way can exchange students learn real things.
In other words, being an exchange student is a learning process where you learn from each other's strengths and make up for your weaknesses.
But Qin Fan thought more, since the queen of the royal family personally talked about this matter.
Naturally, he wants to maximize the benefits.
Qin Fan smiled and said: "Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Henry, first of all, we must confirm that this is a great thing that is conducive to the exchange of Chinese and Western medicine."
"But only giving us 20 places is too few. You have more than doubled the number, so we should have the same conditions no matter what."
He opens his mouth like a lion and is not shy at all.
Suddenly, Elizabeth, Prince Henry, and Lu Zhenru were in a dilemma.
"Mr. Qin, it's not that we are unwilling to provide more places, but that there are too many foreign students coming to the Royal Medical College for exchange."
"We squeezed and squeezed before we came up with these 20 places." Lu Zhenru explained.
Of course Qin Fan knew that Lu Zhenru was not lying, it was still the truth.
He seized the opportunity and said: "Let's do this, add 15 more places."
"In order to show our sincerity, we can send 1-2 famous Chinese medicine experts to the Royal College of Medicine to give lectures on Chinese medicine at an appropriate time during the exchange period."
"What do you think of this compromise?"
When Elizabeth, Prince Henry, and Lu Zhenru heard this, they seemed to think this method was good.
Qin Fan's traditional Chinese medicine lectures at Buckingham Palace are still talked about by everyone in the royal family.
The three of them discussed it in English.
Qin Fan narrated the conversation just now to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Tianrui and Fang Jie.
After listening to Qin Fan's narration, they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"Mr. Qin, it is too difficult to add 15 places. I will help you get 5 more places." Henry said with a grimace.
Naturally, Qin Fan would not agree, so the two parties bargained over the price.
In the end, Qin Fan reluctantly agreed to add 8 places.
Although there were only 8 places, Qin Fan was very happy.
As for sending famous Chinese medicine experts abroad to give lectures, it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
On the face of it, it was the Royal College of Medicine that got more benefits, but in fact, Qin Fan made Chinese medicine stand on the podium of a world-renowned university.
Generally speaking, this exchange student program is a clear gain and a hidden gain.
Subsequently, the two parties reached a verbal agreement.
Specifically, Lu Zhenru of the Embassy in China will contact the Ministry of Culture and Education on the Chinese side.
At noon, the Jiang family's chef carefully prepared 18 dishes for the family banquet.
Queen Elizabeth was a real guest at Qin Fan's place.
As long as they don't talk about interests, Prince Henry and Qin Fan are extremely affectionate.
After the meal, the family saw off Elizabeth, Prince Henry, and Ambassador Lu Zhenru.
Afterwards, Qin Fan dialed the number of President Yu Huarong of Bianque College.
When Yu Huarong heard the news, he almost dropped the phone.
He was surprised and delighted. He never dreamed that one day he would reach an exchange program with the Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom.
"Principal Yu, 20 places are reserved for Bianque College headquarters, and the other 8 places can be given to other schools if you let them out."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I know how to do it." Yu Huarong laughed.
To put it bluntly, Qin Fan asked him to engage in diplomacy for these 8 places.
As long as this news is spread, well-known domestic universities will break their heads in order to fight for these 8 places.
Even if they only fight for two of them, they will take the initiative to go to Bian Que Academy with cooperative scientific research projects.
The former Bianque College was unknown and had no merit.
But things are different now. Exchange student places are a scarce resource.
