They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 87 The cards are full!

Stanford University, Carl Weiman received Zhang Wei’s email.

"Mr. Zhang Wei wants to visit Stanford University? Great! I happen to have questions about the properties of graphene and would like to communicate with Mr. Zhang Wei in person!
The visa officer made things difficult for me, so I couldn’t get a visa to the United States? Immigration idiots! They actually rejected such a great scientist!
Hopefully I can help, preferably by sending him a letter of invitation personally in addition to the name of the school? This means that I will be the guarantee for him! "

An internationally renowned scholar like Karl Weiman certainly understands that a private invitation letter actually means a guarantee. When this private invitation letter is sent out, he becomes Zhang Wei's guarantor.

But instead of resisting, Carl Weiman felt very honored.

This is not a guarantee, this is a trust!

Talking about trust among scientists only happened in the 1920s and 1930s! At that time, scientists all over the world were really as close as one family, and science really had no borders.

But since the beginning of World War II, the world has been divided into two camps. There is no longer any trust between scientists, and science has had national boundaries since then.

Next came the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. The world was still two worlds, and then it was the United States that dominated the world. Anyone who disobeyed would be suppressed. The scientific community would no longer be as harmonious as it was a hundred years ago!

At this time, Carl Weiman only felt that Zhang Wei's trust was like a heavy burden on his shoulders. He couldn't help but start to think about Zhang Wei's wife and son, as if he wanted to put all his wealth and life on it. Leave it in your own hands!
How could I let him down if he trusted himself so much!
Carl Weiman immediately called the head of international exchange at Stanford University and asked him to issue an invitation letter.

Of course, Stanford University will not refuse the request of a Nobel Prize scholar, not to mention that the person invited this time is the scientist who discovered graphene. For scientists of this level, Stanford University has always accepted all comers.

Then Carl Weiman wrote another handwritten letter, which was regarded as a guarantee for Zhang Wei.

With all this, Carl Weiman is still worried. If the visa officer is mentally retarded and still refuses to apply for Zhang Wei, then he will lose face!

We are all physicists, so if we meet each other at an international conference in the future and talk about this matter, my reputation as a Nobel Prize winner will be lost!
In the eyes of Carl Weiman, the people in the immigration office are all mentally retarded! When communicating with a mentally retarded person, don't make it too complicated. Keep it simple and direct so that the mentally retarded person won't understand.

So Carl Wayman dialed another phone number.

"Hello, this is Congressman John Adams' office!" A young man's voice rang from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, I'm Carl Wayman from Stanford University." Carl Wayman introduced himself.

The other party reacted for two seconds, and finally remembered who Carl Weiman was, and his voice immediately became enthusiastic: "Professor Weiman, is it really you? I am Lucas, Congressman Adams' secretary. Congressman Adams visited you last time I was also present! Do you still remember me?"

"Lucas? Of course I remember you. Congressman Adams said that you were a quarterback on the Harvard University team before!" Carl Weiman immediately answered.

"I was just a backup quarterback at Harvard!" Lucas on the other side of the phone sounded a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect that Carl Weiman would still remember it when he just mentioned it casually.

After all, he is a Nobel Prize scholar and the world's top physicist, so don't question his memory!
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Carl Weiman explained his purpose.

According to Carl Weiman, there is a scientist who solved a scientific problem, which can be called the greatest discovery of the 21st century. Moreover, this scientist also selflessly shared the results with the world. The key is to be the first time Shared with myself!

Now this great scientist wants to visit Stanford University, but he is faced with difficulties by the idiots at the Immigration Bureau, who refuse to grant him a visa.

The United States has always extended an olive branch to outstanding scholars from all over the world, but this behavior of the Immigration Bureau is simply a blasphemy to science, an insult to scientists around the world, and a smear on the face of the United States!
Carl Weiman was so indignant that he almost labeled the Immigration Bureau a treason!
Lucas worked as a secretary in a congressman's office, so he was naturally well-versed in everything, and instantly understood what Carl Weiman was asking for.

"Professor Weiman, this is just a small matter. Leave it to me. I will immediately write a letter of recommendation and send it to you in the name of Congressman Adams' office. With this letter of recommendation, I believe no visa officer dares to refuse the visa. of!"

...Tsinghua University, Zhang Wei took the invitation letter and recommendation letter from the United States and came to the department in charge of foreign affairs.

"Teacher, the invitation letter from the United States has been sent. Please do me a favor and make an appointment with the American Embassy. I will go for the interview!" Zhang Wei said.

"So soon? It's less than a week!"

The foreign affairs teacher took the materials and thought to himself that the Americans he came into contact with were procrastinating in doing things. It took more than half a month to send an invitation letter. Why did Zhang Wei send it in just a few days?

Opening the materials, the first one is an invitation letter from Stanford University.

"It's really an invitation letter from Stanford University!" The foreign affairs teacher looked at the invitation letter, and a word suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Visiting Scholar? Visiting Scholar?" The foreign affairs teacher was surprised.

Zhang Wei went to the United States to be an exchange student. The English on the application materials should be "exchange student", but the invitation letter from Stanford said "visiting scholar". The two identities are very different! At least the quality is different by several floors!

Looking at the second piece of information, it was a handwritten letter signed by Carl Weiman.

Only name, no position, no title, no prefix!

The foreign affairs teacher was surprised again. In this kind of guarantee letter, the guarantor usually introduces who he or she is, or at least where he does what he does, so that the visa officer can feel trustworthy.

A person like this who only leaves his name is either a passerby with nothing, or he is a great person.

As a passerby, I really don’t have any identity worth introducing!
You are a great person, there is no need to introduce your job title.

So the foreign affairs teacher asked: "Who is this Karl Weiman?"

"That's the Nobel Prize winner I told you before! The Nobel Prize in Physics that I just won in 2001!" Zhang Wei replied with a smile.

"Let me tell you, is it really an autographed letter from a Nobel Prize winner? Do you want me to make a copy and find a place to frame it? It would be best to hang it in front of my son's desk to always encourage him to study!"

The foreign affairs teacher opened the third document.

"This seems to be a letter of recommendation! In the past, students who went to the United States to study for graduate school would occasionally take this thing, usually from universities there. Whose recommendation letter do you have?"

"This man's name is John Adams, he seems to be a member of Congress!"

"What? Congressman?" the foreign affairs teacher's eyes widened.

In just a few minutes, he had been shocked three times!
You only went to be an exchange student for three months, why did you even move out as a member of Congress?

If you want to study abroad, why don't the President of the United States invite you in person?
