Chapter 112 Oil guy, Tiehanhan

In the Wayman Laboratory at Stanford University, Carl Wayman continued to chat with Zhang Wei about the Nobel Prize.

"The Nobel Prize is usually announced in October, and in August and September every year, the research teams of Korean universities will become active. They will find well-known scholars to endorse their scientific research results, and they will also publicize them globally.

If you look through the newspapers at this time, there will always be articles about certain Korean research results that may be nominated for the Nobel Prize. These are all written by Koreans who paid people to write them.

Of course, you can hardly find similar articles in academic journals. Academic journals must take professionalism into consideration and generally will not charge Koreans to brag. This kind of propaganda by Koreans is just to deceive ordinary people.

But the Nobel Prize is not voted for by ordinary people, and scientific research results are not good just because they say they are good. Wanting to win the Nobel Prize just by relying on publicity is a fantasy! "Professor Weiman introduced slowly.

Zhang Wei smiled and nodded. What Professor Weiman said is very consistent with Korean people's urinary behavior.

When Koreans do things, they always put food and grass first and public relations first!

Just like bidding to host the World Expo, Koreans really think that the whole world loves K-pop. As long as they find a few Hallyu stars, raise their fingers and say "only one choice", the whole world will vote for them.

The result was a self-proclaimed promotion for more than half a year, which made the Koreans believe that they were sure to win. They opened champagne at halftime and became the laughing stock of the world.

When it comes to the selection of the Nobel Prize, the Koreans still play the same trick. They spend money to find people to build momentum around the world, and then export to domestic sales. In the end, the Koreans themselves believe that one of their scientists is going to win the Nobel Prize.

Professor Weiman continued: "This is the third time that Korea University has approached me. Their team studies superconductors, and I hope I can recommend them to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."

"Superconductor? It seems to be a very popular research project!" Zhang Wei said.

"Of course it's popular. Last year's Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to scholars who studied superconductivity! I guess Korea University just wants to ride on the popularity of last year's Nobel Prize!"
However, this Korean scientific research team has only published some ordinary papers, which in my opinion have almost no scientific research value. At this level, do you still want to be nominated for the Nobel Prize? This also looks down upon us Nobel Prize winners. Professor Weiman said with disdain.

"Yes, if you have the money from public relations, you can honestly use it for scientific research, isn't it good?"

Professor Weiman said with a smile: "Zhang, you are still too young and don't know much about scientific research. The money spent on scientific research is astronomical! Such low-cost scientific research achievements as yours in making graphene are unique. of.

The money South Korea spends on finding people to write articles and brag in newspapers is nothing in the field of scientific research! It may not even be enough for one experiment!

From this aspect, Koreans are quite smart. If they spend a little money, if they can still win a Nobel Prize, even if they are just nominated, they will make a lot of money! "

"How can this be clever? This is clearly opportunistic." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Scientific research relies on being down-to-earth and step-by-step. There is no chance of success by taking shortcuts." Professor Kaman nodded with deep understanding.

"That's because you don't know that there is such a thing as a devil!" Zhang Wei thought to himself.

……

The two returned to Berkeley and went downstairs to the dormitory. They happened to meet the oil man returning with a tennis racket on his back.

"Abdul, are you going to play tennis?" Zhang Wei said hello.

"Hey, Zhang, eh? Did you buy a car?" The oil man looked curious.

"I didn't buy it, I borrowed it. I just went to Stanford University. It's more than 40 kilometers away. It's impossible without a car." Zhang Wei replied.

"It's great to be able to borrow a car! In the United States, you really can't go anywhere without a car!"

The oil man let out a long sigh, looked towards the direction of downtown San Francisco, and continued: "There is an Arabic restaurant in downtown San Francisco, which is opened by us Saudis. I haven't had the taste of my hometown for a long time, and I want to try it. Unfortunately, no car."

"Zhang Wei, did you hear that? Brother Petroleum is trying to kill you!" Ye Haotian in the passenger seat said in Chinese.

"I can understand!" Zhang Wei muttered, and then asked: "Abdul, have you had dinner? If not, let's go to the Arab restaurant you mentioned! Let you reminisce about your hometown the taste of."

The next second, the oil man opened the car door, got into the back seat, and pointed in the direction of the city: "Let's go!"

"Come on, I'm a driver!" Zhang Wei smiled and shook his head.

"After all, after accepting someone else's Rolex, the driver should be the driver!" Ye Haotian said.

"Speaking of which, I have a Rolex and am just a driver. What does it mean for you to sit in the co-pilot? Just for fun? Do you want to save face? I won't see you in the rest of this chapter, so get out of here!"

Ye Haotian thought for a while and felt a little embarrassed to eat so much, so he turned back to look at the oil man and asked with a smile: "Abdul, do you need a bodyguard? I have practiced kung fu!"

……

The oil man was so rich that he ordered a large table of food that three people couldn't finish.

"Come, try our Saudi Kaja! This is the favorite drink of us Saudis!" the oil man said, gulping down the milk tea in his cup with an intoxicated expression.

Seeing the oil man drinking so happily, Ye Haotian thought it must be delicious. He picked up the cup and imitated the oil man and took a big sip. The next second his expression became weird.

"How does it taste?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Gudong!" Ye Haotian swallowed Kaha and immediately extended his thumb: "It tastes good. It tastes really good. Try it quickly! You can only enjoy it if you taste it in big mouthfuls!"

"You want to trick me? Your acting skills are too exaggerated!" Zhang Wei picked up the cup and just took a sip.

"I wanted to give him some support! You actually found out!" Ye Haotian muttered in a low voice.

Sure enough, it was another day of being bullied by the big devil.

Kaha is a type of milk tea that is popular in Saudi Arabia and even in the Persian Gulf region. When this kind of milk tea is cooked, various spices are added, such as cloves, star anise, orange peel, cinnamon, etc. In China, they are all condiments for stewed braised pork.

You can imagine what it would be like to stew braised pork soup with milk tea in it.

To the Chinese, this thing is like glutinous rice balls stuffed with coriander, mooncakes stuffed with chives, dumplings stuffed with chocolate conch powder, a safe dark cuisine. "How does it taste?" This time it was the oil man who asked.

Looking at the expectant expression on the oil man's face, Zhang Wei was really embarrassed to say that it tasted bad. He touched the Rolex with his right hand and said against his will: "It's such a magical taste. I have never drunk this kind of milk tea!"

"Drink more if you like it, especially you, Ye, I think you like it very much!" The oil man said, giving Ye Haotian a thumbs-up gesture, and then filled Ye Haotian with a glass of Kaha.

"The king's nephew personally poured it for you, but you have to drink it all and don't leave anything behind!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"How about you drink half a cup for me?" Concubine Ye begged.

"Don't even think about it, no way! I can't even finish this glass!"

Except that I am not used to drinking Kaha, everything else is quite delicious. The barbecue is very honest, the flatbread is very crispy, and the desserts are also very unique and sweet!

After having enough tea and food, the oil man was very satisfied and handed over several Franklin notes as tips.

On the way back, the oil man lay down in the back seat of the Accord and wanted to cross his legs, but found that there was not enough space.

"Zhang, are you free tomorrow?" the oil man suddenly asked.

"Where else do you want to go?" Zhang Wei asked directly.

After all, it’s only right to take over someone else’s Rolex and work as a driver a few more times.

"It's too inconvenient not to have a car. I plan to buy a car. You can take me to the 4S shop in San Francisco!" the oil man said.

Zhang Wei originally wanted to persuade him, but he only had three months to go. If he didn’t want to buy a car, he could just rent one!
Even if you buy it, you can also buy it second-hand. There is no need to go to a 4S store to buy a new car.

But then I thought again, whether it is a rental car or a second-hand car, it is not worthy of the status of an oil man! Must buy a new car.

So Zhang Wei opened his mouth and replied: "Okay, what car are you going to buy?"

"Range Rover!" the oil man replied without hesitation.

After all, it was a former British colony, and the Saudis have a preference for British cars.

……

"Our car adopts the latest air spring independent suspension system. Among all four-wheel drive models currently on the market, only this Land Rover Range Rover has this configuration. The all-terrain feedback applicable system is also unique to this car. some.

There are LED headlights at the front and rear, and the metal-painted electric vents on the side add features. The interior is also a new design, inspired by luxury yachts, with leather and solid wood structures to create a luxurious atmosphere. "

Sales introduced eloquently.

However, the oil guy only cares about one question: When can he pick up the car?
"Sir, if you place a deposit now, you can take delivery of the car within three months at the earliest!" the salesman said with a smile.

"I want it now!" The oil man looked arrogant.

"Sir, you definitely can't mention it now. The Range Rover is a hot-selling model, and we don't have any existing cars. And you also need to add some configurations, which must be customized from the manufacturer."

"I can add money!"

"I can't even raise more money..."

"Why don't you ask me how much to add?"

"How much more would you like to add?"

The oil man named a number.

After hearing the oil man's quotation, the salesman said without hesitation: "Sir, I will personally deliver your car to your door tomorrow afternoon!"

……

"Zhang, my new car has arrived! I can go play golf at a golf course twenty miles away!" The oil man excitedly pulled Zhang Wei and went downstairs to look at the car.

"This prodigal thing, don't even think about how much money you have spent on it! If this were my son, I would have to give him a few big fights!" Zhang Wei thought to himself.

The two walked downstairs and saw a brand new Range Rover parked at the door.

The salesman handed the car key to the oil man, who eagerly opened the car door and got in.

"Don't tell me, the temperament of this oil man matches this Range Rover quite well. If he puts on that white robe, it will match even better!" Zhang Wei thought to himself.

"Zhang, get in the car! I'll take you for a ride!" The oil man waved to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei sat in the passenger seat, put on his seat belt, and then asked instinctively: "By the way, do you have a driver's license?"

"Didn't California recognize driver's licenses from other countries? I have a driver's license in Saudi Arabia!"

"Brought it?"

The next second, the oil man's expression suddenly solidified.

"How could I forget this? My driver's license is still in Saudi Arabia!"

"This Tiehanhan, I shouldn't ask unnecessary questions!"
