Chapter 1749 Unhappy retribution

Brave and high-spirited, heading towards the transnational Silicon Valley area, heading straight to the gate of Stanford.

The formation of more than a hundred teachers and students from Harvard, uniformly dressed, was really shocking.

You know, this is the Harvard uniform.

No matter how ignorant you are, you all know the significance of Harvard in academia.

So many people came to Stanford, a rival university with old grudges, in unison. What were they going to do?

Is Harvard here to have fun?

The whole Silicon Valley is taking notice.

Today, all companies in Silicon Valley are discussing this shocking news.

Cisco.

"Damn, I just heard that Harvard teachers and students are coming to Silicon Valley, and it looks like they are going to Stanford!"

Microsoft Corporation.

"What? Go to Stanford? Isn't this normal! Although the two universities are competing, they still have contacts."

Intel Corporation.

"It doesn't look like they are going for an academic exchange. Have you ever seen more than a hundred people wearing school uniforms and going to Stanford uniformly?"

Apple Inc.

"I just drove by. His attitude was too arrogant. Then he walked over with goose steps. I think he was going to play in the gym!"

...

The entire Silicon Valley, tens of thousands of companies, are all boiling.

After all, it is unprecedented and unheard of to see such a big fight in a stadium.

This makes everyone excited.

Everyone has a heart of gossip, a burning heart of gossip.

Naturally, Stanford also heard the news.

The whole Stanford was in a state of excitement.

"What! How dare people from Harvard come to our place!"

"Let's go and have a look!"

After hearing the news, many Stanford students flocked here.

At the entrance of Stanford, hundreds of Stanford students suddenly gathered.

Most people looked angry.

People from Harvard came here with such a high profile. I heard that the teacher led the group. Hundreds of teachers and students, wearing school uniforms, walked over in goose steps.

This is too arrogant.

This is for playing games.

Stanford officials also heard the news.

I was stunned by this news for a long time.

What is this for?

More than a hundred people suddenly came to Harvard. And the teacher led the team. What was going on?

It is normal for two universities to communicate. There are many such things.

Although the schools are said to be in a competitive relationship, fighting for victory and defeat at every turn, this does not prevent students from the two universities from having a good relationship in private.

But what's going on now?

Is the other party here to play?

Are you here to slap me in the face?

But why?

It was for no reason that the teacher led the team to play in the gym. This was a bit official.

To say that it was simply students who came here, it might be the students’ personal behavior.

This kind of thing happens all the time.

Some students who are more radical, enthusiastic, and fanatical will always do some incredible things.

For example, Harvard's tradition of "screaming in the middle of the night" was invented by a group of students who took blood injections in order to get perfect scores on exams.

But now there are teachers leading the team, which has a bit of an official background.

What is this for?

Do the two schools have to fight to the death?

It’s not like this!

In the past, competition was all about motivating students.

Of course, Stanford was founded because its founder was humiliated at Harvard. However, over the past hundred years, there has been only positive competition between the two parties, not that kind of negative competition.

As for this kind of competition, there are actually many "rivals" among major prestigious schools.

For example, in addition to being a rival to Harvard, Stanford is also a rival to Berkeley.

The rugby match between the two sides is a battle between Mars and Earth every year.

The battle for the top school between Harvard and Yale is also in full swing.

And between MIT and Caltech, etc.

There are too many such grievances. Although major prestigious schools are behind the scenes and use these grievances to motivate students, they all control the scale.

No, if you go too far, it will really turn from grudge to hatred.

This difference in words has completely different essential meanings.

It's completely different between the two.

But now the other party's intention is to find trouble.

"Should we communicate with Harvard?" a school director suggested.

Ask what Harvard means.

Avoid misunderstandings that lead to the two prestigious schools becoming life-and-death enemies.

That's not good.

"They all came to the door, and we even called to inquire. That's too weak. If Senator Stanford was still alive, he would be angry to death." Another school director sneered.

Senator Stanford refers to Leland Stanford, the founder of Stanford University.

At that time, when he founded Stanford University, he was a federal senator.

Therefore, when Stanford University later mentioned Leland Stanford, he always used the title of Senator.

This is a respectful title, as if it is still alive in the world.

Of course, Leland Stanford is great, but he is not so friendly to the Chinese people.

Before becoming a federal senator, Leland Stanford was the governor of California. For the sake of California's economy, Leland Stanford decided to build railroads aggressively.

This railway is the famous "Century Avenue" that runs across the east and west of the United States, with a total length of 4,300 kilometers.

This railway was a great feat at the time (1863). It was almost an impossible task.

Many people do not believe that it can be completed and run through the east and west because it must run through the entire Sierra Nevada.

The Sierra Nevada Mountains are majestic, steep and continuous. The average altitude is 1800-3000 meters; there are 10 peaks above 4300 meters, among which Mount Whitney with an altitude of 4418 meters is the highest peak in the continental United States.

It can be said that this was an almost impossible task at the time.

Leland Stanford said this to the doubters: We ask the Chinese to build it. They were able to build the Great Wall more than 2,000 years ago, so they can build Century Avenue for the United States today.

In the end, it was indeed Chinese workers who built this super railway that runs through the eastern and western parts of the United States and the eastern and western hemispheres.

Of course, the corpse of a Chinese laborer lies under each railway track, which is also a realistic representation of this railway.

Of course, it was not only unfriendly to the Chinese workers. At the same time, it was also unfriendly to the Indians on both sides of the railway. In order to build the railway, Leland-Stanford directly sent militiamen to expel the Indians, burn their houses, and savagely and rudely remove them from their homes.

driven away from their homes.

It can be said that Leland Stanford was stained with the blood of Chinese workers and Indians.

Of course, the cycle of cause and effect is such that her only son was born 18 years after her marriage, and he died in Europe due to a cold infection. The Stanford family was considered to have no descendants.

Because of this, Stanford University was created, benefiting the world.

I have to say, this is retribution.

Of course, the topic returns to the present.

Faced with Harvard's aggressiveness, most Stanford trustees disagreed with a weak response.
