[093] Win Stanford University

After leaving Lelan Stanford's ranch mansion, Long Hao went straight toward Palaatu without delay. The reputation of Stanford University is the future. Long Hao still has no idea what the famous school is now, so he went to see it on the spot.

It was very necessary to see it.

Lelan did not lie. The road from San Francisco to Palaatu was very difficult to walk. Long Hao and his party did not arrive at the Garden City until evening.

It is called Garden City, but in fact there is only a very small town with less than ten households living in it. Most of the houses are still empty. At night, only scattered lights light up in the building.

Long Hao and his party were greeted by a mountain guard in his fifties. He had a dense beard and held a hunting rifle and stopped the carriage.

The mountain guard Gibson asked about the purpose of Long Hao and others, and immediately let go of his guard. In fact, there was nothing to be wary of. The total population of Palaatu City was only more than 100, and most of them were scattered on the ranch outside the town.

In the forest, no matter how down and out robbers are, they will not come to make bad ideas: there is really nothing to grab!

Gibson said: "Are you here to visit that university? Ah, to be honest, you may be disappointed. The scenery there is very ordinary and meaningless. It's better to go hunting in the primeval forest next to you. If you hire me

As a guide, I promise you can hit bears! Tigers will have a chance to meet them!"

Long Hao was a little amused and crying. This mountain guard actually started to sell himself.

Seeing Long Hao not speaking, Gibson thought he had already told this oriental man who looked very identity and temperament, so he quickly raised two fingers: "The guide fee is very cheap, it only costs $20 a day. If you hit Lao Hu,

, give another $5, the skillful old Gibson can help you cut off the most complete tiger skin! You must know that in San Francisco, a complete tiger skin is valuable!"

Long Hao shook his head, slapped Gibson on his calloused hand, and smiled and said, "We don't hunt, we just want to go and see Stanford University. I heard that school is about to start soon, and there must be many teachers and

Student. Please take us, the money will be yours!"

Gibson raised his palm, and under the oil lamp he was holding, a green hundred-dollar bill almost blinded his old eyes: "Oh, you are such a generous nobleman! Okay, I happen to know a small path to go to that place

College is both convenient and safe! Trust me and trusting Old Gibson is the wisest choice!”

Gibson blew his palm and quickly put the $100 in his pocket.

Gibson did not brag. Under his leadership, the moon was still in the air, and Long Hao's carriage arrived at the gate of Stanford University.

The famous schools in later generations are really like a vast pasture under the illumination of stars!

The grass grows like wheat ears, and the wind blows the ripples, and a path opened up is opened up. At the end of the extension are buildings with several fists.

Gibson pointed to the wooden sign at the intersection and said, "From this beginning, it is Mr. Stanford's private territory. If it is daytime, you can see a university hall after walking for 2,000 yards! But now it's night, walk in

It is easy to be shot as an illegal invader! According to Old Gibson's sincere advice, you might as well sleep next to you for a night and go in tomorrow morning!"

Following Gibson's finger, Long Hao found that there were a row of wooden houses about 500 meters in the horizontal direction.

Long Hao smiled and said, "Gibson, do you still have friends who run hotels?"

Gibson's old face turned slightly red: "I just know you... but after I introduce you, Edward will give you a discount!"

Edward is a young man with a very dark skin. When Long Hao saw him at first, he remembered the former master of this continent: the Indians.

Edward is the owner of this row of cabins. Gibson knocked on his door and introduced this friend who forgot his age to Long Hao and others with great excitement: "His name is Edward Keener, he is the owner of this hotel! Don't worry, don't

Look at his old-fashioned face, he is actually very kind and very hospitable!"

Edward's dark brown face did not have any expression. After looking at Long Hao's group of visitors with yellow skin, he said coldly: "Come in, a room, $3!"

"How is it, isn't it cheap?" Gibson proudly squeezed Long Hao and squeezed Lao Mo's eyes.

Long Hao entered the house and looked at the surrounding environment. It can be said that this hotel located next to Stanford can be described in two words: simple!

"Three dollars, it's fair!" Long Hao nodded to the money, and then asked Edward: "What are your usual guests here?"

"What's so much?" Gibson interrupted, "If I hadn't brought you here today, Edward would have set a new record of not opening! Eleven days, hehe, no guests came in eleven days, I would have built this row of houses.

I have warned you that it is very desolate and has no business! I really don’t know what the wrong stubbornness is in your head, but I just don’t listen to my advice!”

Edward's face darkened: "Uncle Gibson, I don't care whether this hotel makes money or not, but you have to remember that I am a physics scholar and I have a good mind!"

Long Hao was slightly surprised: I didn’t expect that this Indian young man actually claimed to be a scholar who studies physics!

No wonder he chose to build a hotel next to Stanford University. It seems that his plan is based on this newly established university.

Edward looked like he was not close to someone else. He opened the guest room for Long Hao and hid back in his room. Long Hao thought about it, but he didn't ask much.

The next day, the rising sun rose, Long Hao and his party left the Edward Hotel, drove along the path to Stanford University surrounded by a green pasture.

As Gibson said, after a while, someone stopped the carriage and asked, but when they saw Princess Melissa's extraordinary temperament, the people waved their hands and let them go.

This is a school, and management is there, but it will never be very strict.

Two thousand yards later, the building that was only the size of a fist last night was suddenly in sight.

This is a very magnificent teaching building, with a horizontal length of more than 50 meters, four floors high, and a cleared wide square in the center. Lelan Stanford was not stingy with the construction of Stanford University. Long Hao got off the carriage and took a closer look.

The teaching building is of high quality and is built with extremely strong granite and primitive giant trees. As long as it does not encounter natural disasters and stands for a hundred years, there will be no problem!

Long Hao and his group were noble and mysterious. Walking into the Stanford campus was the focus of their eyes. Soon, a school leader came up to us.

After learning that Long Hao might be the new boss of the school, the person in charge, named Kobe, was so shocked that he almost opened his mouth off.

In Kobe's eyes, Lelan Stanford was a great God of Wealth. He heard that the God of Wealth was about to be removed. This middle-aged white man who loved Stanford University was so disappointed that he almost knelt down.

Did Mr. Stanford finally despair about this university and want to abandon it?

Fortunately, Long Hao saw something wrong with Kobe, and a casual sentence evoked the white man's spirit: "Behind me is Princess Melissa of the Spanish Royal Family. She loves science very much. No accidents happen every year.

Stanford will receive more than £100,000 in funding!”

One hundred thousand pounds, that’s a huge sum of $500,000!

The happiness pie from the sky knocked Kobe unconscious, and rose from the trough to the top, making the white man's heart beat wildly and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

With the big money owner in front of him, Kobe performed hard. In addition to the main teaching building, Kobe also took Long Hao and his party to visit the buildings next to him.

With a carriage, the tour is very pleasant.

Long Hao discovered that although Stanford University covers a large area, its main activity area is still limited to within 100 acres. After all, if the campus is too large and there is no means of transportation, it will be extremely inconvenient for students and teachers to walk.

But even the "oasis" in this small ranch, Lilan also spent a lot of effort on "sculpture", libraries, physics museums, chemistry museums, history museums... There are all kinds of scientific research venues in several major categories, student dormitories

, cafeteria, horse farm, stadium... all kinds of living facilities are available! Long Hao observed that if all the people were full of people, the population of Stanford University would be more than 10,000, and the students would be accommodated at more than 6,000!

Not to mention the sparsely populated western United States, even in the east, this scale is still top-notch!
