Chapter 19 Two Knights
Subtitle of this chapter: Are not both the Knights and the Teutonic Knights horses?
"Mr. Yuan, this joke is not funny."
"Professor Adams, I'm not really kidding."
It is the first Monday in October 1920, at the Stern School of Business at New York University, and he is talking to his academic instructor Professor Irving Adams.
New York University (nyu), founded in 1831, is one of the largest private universities in the United States; it is also the only famous university in the United States located on Manhattan Island, the heart of New York.
The Stern Business School where Yuan Yanshu studied was founded in 1900 and is also a world-renowned business school. Because he originally planned to be the general manager of a bank, his master's subjects tend to be accounting and finance.
But now this second-hand student who doesn't even have a big class is going to write a doctoral thesis with the title "socialism". This shocked his academic tutor Professor Irving Adams.
Professor Adams, like most white men who were in the late middle age, had a shiny head, a belly and a double chin, and had a goatee as he was used to at that time, and looked a bit mediocre. However, in fact, he was an educator with a gentle temperament, kind-hearted heart, and a very decent professional level.
Professor Adams was born in the southern states. He and his fellow villagers had a common hobby, wearing white robes, steep hats, riding horses, holding torches at night, sending warmth to African Americans from time to time and taking them to swing. In 1920, the 3KKK party, after the establishment of the Civil War, finally found a suitable emperor. Under his leadership, the peak period of this "white empire" was about to come, and its influence expanded from the south to the Midwest, as well as the northern states, and even reached Canada. Among these four million white knights, there were even two future commanders of the United States (Note 1).
As a senior intellectual, Professor Adams' usual practice is much more elegant and subtle. Although it is not visible on the surface, more than a year ago, when Yuan Yan accidentally saw a professor with a dignity in a female branch office, he hugged an African-American girl with dark skin and chewing it wildly, he felt his broad mind, so he walked up to say hello...
So their master-apprentice relationship is really good. If Yuan Yanshu hadn't been too hard in his studies, the professor might have turned a blind eye to him and passed the test. And if it weren't for this relationship, Yuan Yanshu, who didn't even attend classes, wouldn't have been able to retain his university degree.
Sitting behind the desk, Professor Adams looked at the Chinese student in front of him with a suspicious expression, put on reading glasses, picked up the outline of the paper brought by Yuan Yanshu and read it carefully. No matter how reliable the students were, this "chonky" has been sent to the outline that looks quite like... and he also knows how to keep the little secret between the two, as an academic tutor, of course he has to take a look.
Author's note: The word chonky was indeed a despicable term for Chinese people in the United States at that time. However, as the future Knight of the 3KK party, Professor Adams used this word to call Yuan Yanshu with a certain degree of "commendation". This is because the two general terms chonky and chink and chinaman are different. They refer to Chinese people with white physiological or psychological characteristics, and are actually the so-called "higher Chinese".
The Shanghai Hujiang University where Yuan Yanshu studied was an American church school. He spent three years in New York, so he spoke very fluently and hardly with an accent. In addition, like most Westernized intellectuals in this era, his dress and expression were deliberately "foreign"; of course, the most important thing is that Yuan Yanshu, who was traveling through time, had the high and confident temperament that the contemporaries of Chinese people had rarely had when facing foreigners.
Although he is a professor of applied economics who focuses on the banking and finance industry, as an insider, Professor Adams can still see something from this outline. This student who is very sensible and uncommon to meet is indeed a bit important to write a paper, and this topic is indeed a popular one, but he is still a little unsure.
This is because the Stern Business School of New York University focuses on applied economics, and is actually dedicated to cultivating fresh blood for Wall Street. It was even set up on Wall Street from the beginning. Students from this business school have to work as middle and senior management in major banks, investment funds, stock exchanges and accounting firms.
The fraternal Professor Adams can definitely regard ordinary people as a book of heaven or toilet paper and enjoy the income statement of assets. However, to evaluate an academic work on theoretical economics, it is necessary to summon new elves... Well, professor.
"Mr. Yuan, please wait." As he said that, he picked up the outline of the paper and walked out of his office.
About twenty minutes later, Yuan Yan, who was sitting in a comfortable backrest chair with eyelids fighting, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. He was excited and immediately stood up and looked back and forth. In addition to the short and fat Professor Adams, there was also a tall, thin, serious expression, and a clean white middle-aged man with round-frame glasses. He was about to change into Gothic armor and hold a two-handed sword in his hand, which was a complete Teutonic Knight.
"Hello, Professor Chandler."
This man's name is Yulian-h-chandle, a native of Pennsylvania. He is one of the few political science professors in Stern College. He knows that he has German bloodline at the glance and appearance. Even in the 21st century, the descendants of German immigrants in "The nickname of Pennsylvania" still account for the highest proportion of their population, more than one-quarter, and the federal state that "the official language was short of one vote that became Cantonese...well, German". In fact, his middle name is Heinrich, and the name of this man originally had "2 Ma von". However, because of World War I, the descendants of German immigrants who love (US) did not care about their ancestors' glory for patriotism, and many of them removed the word "2 Ma von" that represents the identity of aristocratic.
Although even the Ivy League did not squeeze in in the future, Nyu is also a well-known American institution after all, and has an ambition to drive Ha (Buddhist) and surpass Yale (Lu). After graduation, students of his own business school cannot all go to Wall Street to be vampires, and they also have to train several political werewolfs for my great America... Well, elites, after graduation, they can become members of the Senate and House of Representatives, governors of various states and even the commanders of the United States, otherwise the record of alumni would not be good. (The commander of the United States did not, but later a China that "who all came out to be responsible" was poured out... Of course, they would be called the "Ma Ying-jeou" of the Underworld.)
The political science professor who was not very familiar with Yuan Yanshu nodded coldly and said, "Hello, Mr. Yuan."
After the three of them took the seats, Chandler flipped through the outline of the paper in his hand and spoke first. He stared at the faces of Chinese students and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Yuan, did you really write this article?"
