"What's the matter, Charlie? Is something wrong with Zheng? Or did he cross the line? "
A curious voice came from the microphone. Charlie quickly said, "no, no, the trouble is that MIT invited Zheng Jianguo to join their physics laboratory. However, this is not the biggest trouble. The biggest trouble is that Zheng invited me to join his foundation as the director -"
"So you want to go underground? Or do you want to leave the FBI? "
After hesitation, the voice in the microphone asked two questions. Charlie immediately understood that there was a problem with his previous language. Instead of refusing Zheng Jianguo, he chose to report to the boss, which showed that he wanted to be the head of the foundation in the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, why use such an exaggerated tone to shout out his concerns when facing the choice, Just say it frankly: "I want to go underground, but considering that Zheng's business involves foreign countries, the FBI has no right -"
"Just don't let the CIA find you, and then you'll contact me one-way -"
The voice in the microphone did not hesitate at all this time. Obviously, Charlie's concern was not a matter at all in his opinion: "since your relationship with Zheng is so good, I will slowly replace the monitor with someone who doesn't know your identity. By the way, don't contact ullika on your side, and I will transfer her away, In this way, she doesn't have to cause unnecessary trouble when she appears in front of Zheng Jianguo, Charlie, FBI. "
"Fidelity."
"Bravery."
"Integrity."
Subconsciously speaking of the meaning of the FBI, Charlie's voice suddenly became a little low: "just can't be integrity in the future -"
"How else do you put loyalty first? To be brave for loyalty, to be honest for loyalty, I don't have to say that. Good luck. "
The sound in the microphone disappeared. Charlie stared at the microphone with a blind sound. He couldn't believe that the boss made a decision so quickly. Originally, he still wanted to explain. Now, after putting the microphone on the telephone, he had a little insight: "explain, isn't that to hide his real idea?"
"Bang bang -"
Charlie looked up at Ulrika outside the glass on the door and nodded until the other party came in. Before she could speak, he said first, "OK, I've arranged it. Go back and follow the original plan."
"Oh, then I'll go back -"
Looking at Charlie's thoughtful look, Ulrika didn't expect that she had made arrangements. When she turned and left the office, she smiled and said, "thank you for your help, Mr. Charlie."
"Yes!"
He stood up to the door and watched Ulrika's back disappear. Charlie then had a strange idea in his mind: "if he is dismissed by Zheng at that time, I just don't know if there is any salary and pension to take?"
"Hey, boss, what's the matter?"
As the Secretary's voice came, Charlie looked back and smiled at her: "it's all right. Go and pour me a cup of coffee. It's a little cold inside."
"OK!"
The Secretary smiled and walked on the catwalk. Charlie went to his desk and looked at the phone. He picked up the microphone and began dialing. Soon, with the sound from the opposite side, he said, "Hi, Zheng, after my communication with the boss, what I can tell you now is that I'm ready -"
"Ready?"
Zheng Jianguo, on the other end of the phone, was a little confused. Then he remembered that his plan was to enter the market after the oil contract was closed, and quickly said, "what are you going to do with the oil contract now?"
"It's ok as usual. What I said to the boss is that I won't accept new investments until my contract is closed, which is also in line with the rules of the futures exchange -"
When Charlie's voice came, Zheng Jianguo was relieved. What he wants most now is business as usual. Only in this way can he stick to the war between Iran and Iraq. At that time, no matter what the price of the oil contract is, he will sell it three days after the war, but he can't say to the goods: "that's good. I may not have time to pay attention to these in a short time, If you're all right during this time, keep an eye on the news about oil for me. "
"Oil news? What are you doing? "
Charlie in the microphone did not hesitate to ask. Zheng Jianguo thought about it. Before he said he had graduated, he said, "I have passed the qualification examination, and now I have signed an agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital. After a while, I will go to their hospital for internship. You know that doctors are busy and have no sense of time.
So from now on, you can help me pay attention to the news reported in the media about the discovery of oil fields or shale gas technology breakthroughs. Of course, there may be a country that is ready to increase oil exploitation. For example, the Soviet over there has half as much reserves as the Middle East. "
After paying attention to oil during this period, Zheng Jianguo learned that the history of maozi's oil industry can be traced back to 1873, four years earlier than the modernization of Western oil technology. In 1880 alone, there were more than 200 refineries in the suburbs of Baku, and thousands of oil wells were distributed upstream of these factories: "if maozi goes all out to start work, It's time for us to close our position - it's them we should pay attention to now. "
On the surface, Charlie is a futures trader. He became a full-time broker with cassana after being exposed to the light of Zheng Jianguo. As for becoming a key account manager after less than a year, this is not his promotion brought by his keen sense of the market. It is also because of the latter's large investment, Become the brightest star in the exchange.
Up to now, Charlie also holds a lot of funds in his hands, which is also brought by Zheng Jianguo's shining to blinding rate of return. Therefore, he has been studying Zheng Jianguo's investment ideas in private. At this time, he heard and knew that he could not refuse this request: "this is no problem, I will pay attention."
"I'll go out of town in the next few days. I'll be away for about three or four days. If you have something to do, page me with a pager."
Zheng Jianguo, on the other end of the phone, reported his call sign. Even if the phone had been arranged, the reason why he thought of buying this thing was because it belonged to one of the requirements of Massachusetts General Hospital. All medical staff had one. Although he hadn't checked in yet, he was regarded as contacting in advance.
In 1980, the pager was not a new thing. On the contrary, it had its prototype as early as 20 or 30 years ago. Until the 1970s, the development of electronic technology reduced the original brick volume to half the size of a palm. Of course, the price is still valuable. There are everything from $200 to $500, which can be regarded as a luxury category.
After eating, drinking, cleaning and preparing, Zheng Jianguo went to the school the next day to find Professor Fisher. He found that there seemed to be a familiar figure missing in the team. He couldn't help but wonder: "Professor, won't ullika go?"
"She said she asked for leave because she had something to do at home. She doesn't know if she can't come back."
Fisher put away his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked up at Zheng Jianguo. His white face showed curiosity: "are you ready for your speech?"
"Ready."
Zheng Jianguo's mind flashed the idea of whether Ulrika had been poached by other laboratories, but the next moment he remembered that if he wanted to change jobs, he would have better capital to put forward conditions after attending the March meeting.
After all, the research center of atomic graphite layer in the world is located at Harvard University in Massachusetts and MIT. If Ulrika can attend the March meeting as one of the representatives of Harvard University, this capital will be real.
"In what way? Shall I help you? "
Professor Fisher was as straightforward as most Americans. Seeing that Zheng Jianguo didn't want to say anything, he asked his curiosity. The latter nodded and said, "although I'm busy taking the graduation examination of medical school these days, I'm also thinking about some problems on the atomic graphite layer when I'm free, For example, the most direct thermodynamic fluctuation does not allow any two-dimensional crystal to exist at finite temperature, so how did we find the atomic graphite layer? "
"Well, this question --"
Fisher nodded thoughtfully. The reason why the discovery of atomic graphite layer shocked the world's solid-state physics community was that it violated the law of thermodynamic fluctuation and overturned the cognition that the solid-state physics community had tacitly accepted for decades. It was like that normal people were saying that there were ghosts, but no one had ever called them out: "what do you think?"
"I feel that its two-dimensional structure is kinked at some angles -"
Zheng Jianguo picked up the convenience label on the table in front of him, tore off one, pointed to the smooth part on it and said, "we all think that two-dimensional materials are complete plane materials, just like the smooth part on this paper, but this does not exist in thermodynamic fluctuations. Is it possible that these edge parts are forced to some twist after being stained with glue?"
"That's a good idea!"
Looking at the note paper in Zheng Jianguo's hand, Fisher was surprised after thinking all over his face. Looking at his face, he took the note paper and said, "how did you think of it?"
Zheng Jianguo smiled and pointed to the note paper in Fisher's hand. "When I was thinking, I saw that the note paper pasted on the table was slightly tilted up, thinking whether it was possible? Later, I found that only this possibility can be consistent with the phenomenon of thermodynamic fluctuations - I really can't think of anything else. "
"It may not be easy for you to think of this -"
Fisher said approvingly to Zheng Jianguo, stuffed the note paper in his hand into his pocket, went to the door, and said to several students and assistants, "OK, let's go. You pay attention to the progress in the laboratory."
"OK, Professor, Zheng ~"
As Zheng Jianguo appeared at the door with Fisher, several people first greeted the latter and then greeted the former. Zheng Jianguo saw Fisher making a vague wink when he turned back. He followed him out of the corridor and got into the car. He listened to him say, "I've always felt sorry for you to give up the research on atomic graphite layer. You are very talented in it, Well, it's also good in medicine. I thought I could let you do a part-time job in the laboratory at the weekend, but the school was afraid you couldn't get busy - "
"I have signed an agreement with MIT to work part-time in the laboratory there after graduation, that is, I take time to do repetitive research on Saturday and Sunday."
Zheng Jianguo smiled and said that the reason why he nodded after Thomas offered the conditions was that he knew that Harvard University could not give him the same treatment, otherwise other teaching assistants and associate professors in the laboratory would rebel, and the class of the last week of each month would have to be listed in the paper——
There is still no saying of hanging the position of associate professor. If you hang the position of associate professor, you have to sign a lifelong agreement at Harvard. Although Zheng Jianguo is happy to sign a lifelong agreement with a part-time associate professor at Harvard University, this is something the latter can't promise.
"So you represented the school at the March meeting this time, and you will be a member of the Physics Society of MIT next time?"
Fisher blinked and looked at Zheng Jianguo curiously. The latter nodded and said, "well, the Department of solid state physics of MIT will recommend me to become a member of the American Physical Society -"
Unlike the purely unofficial Gastroenterology Association, although the American Physical Society is also an unofficial Association, its sponsor, the governor of Pennsylvania, and the following chairman, vice chairman and executive officer, are all held by the current official managers of the United States or the Institute of physics, which is half a level higher than the former in terms of formality.
As for the members of the American Physical Society, they are elected from nearly 40000 members of the physical society every year, who have made important contributions to physics in the previous year, and are awarded the title of members. The proportion of the number of members is one 200 of all members, almost 200.
The point is that although the American Physical Society is nominally the United States of America, its members are distributed all over the world. Therefore, it can also be considered that it is selected all over the world every year. If it can be selected, it will be a solid step towards Nobel.
"Congratulations in advance -"
Fisher smiled brightly. He regretted Zheng Jianguo's inability to join the laboratory: "I think it's a mistake for you to focus on the medical field. Of course, considering that I just did Helicobacter screening, I have to admit that your discovery has saved millions of people from the torture of this pathogen -"
"Yes, I chose the medical field because the Helicobacter screening technology is primitive, and the cost can't be said to be cheap. After all, so many people don't even have social security. Maybe I'll focus back when I find a new way."
Looking at Fisher's relaxed look, Zheng Jianguo didn't ask about the screening results. The treatment of Helicobacter pylori was long before it was found. Of course, he used the name of "childhood" discovery. Even if it was detected, he didn't have to worry. A few dollars of medicine can cure most Helicobacter pylori in the human body.
