Chapter 1171 1156. Reciprocity (25)

The meeting lasted for an hour, and they talked about hard things. Principal Sallins didn't speak in a bureaucratic manner, but asked carefully about the people in Sunset Town, and speculated about the impact that the school would have after its establishment.

The rapid development of Sunset Town in the past five years is what moved him the most. Elizabeth brought the town's development memorandum, which contained many photos.

Looking at the changes in Sunset Town in each photo, Principal Sallins exclaimed again and again: "It's a miracle!" "Mayor Wang is amazing!" "You are a natural leader!"

The one-hour scheduled time was extended to one and a half hours, and it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon after the end.

This meeting was not for Sunset Town to report to Lincoln University, but for the two sides to get to know each other, and Wang Bo had a more comprehensive understanding of Lincoln University.

Principal Sallins is also inclined to build a branch school in Sunset Town, not only because Sunset Town is the most sincere and enthusiastic among several candidates, but also because of Wang Bo's Chinese identity.

Among all universities in New Zealand, this school is the one that receives the most visits from Chinese state leaders, and their school has also cooperated with China's largest dairy company.

According to the meeting, Principal Sallins personally accompanied them to wander around the campus.

Wang Bo said angrily: "Principal, you are busy with work, so let's just walk around and have a look."

Principal Sallins laughed and said: "It's summer vacation now, young man, what can I be busy with? Scientific research matters don't just happen in a short while. You are distinguished guests of Lincoln University, so of course I have to treat each other with courtesy."

The school covers a vast area of ​​thousands of hectares, and Wang Bo's plan for the branch campus of Lincoln University is also very large, also covering thousands of hectares.

He didn't simply want to plan a branch school, but also wanted to subtly attract the main body of Lincoln University to the town in the future.

The construction of the school is simple and elegant. Many buildings are already a century and a half old, full of vicissitudes of history, but they are well protected. There will be workers repairing the buildings.

As it was getting late, Principal Sallins asked them to stay here for the night. There are guest rooms for hospitality in the school.

Wang Bo refused, and said: "It's too much for us to disturb you all morning. Let's talk to you again when we have a chance."

Principal Sallins smiled and said: "I'm not being polite, Mayor Wang, I sincerely invite you to stay another night, because there is a small show for you to watch in the evening, and this is also my gift."

In this way, Wang Bo is looking forward to it, and there are night shows to watch?

Bowen coughed lightly, glanced at Eva and said in a low voice, "Bringing a woman, isn't this kind of show appropriate?"

Wang Bo was almost frightened by his words: Brother Nima, are you here to tear me down? Do you think they prepared for you a school girl? This horse riding is a serious occasion!

Principal Sallins obviously understood what he meant, but he understood very well. He waved his hand and said, "Others may not be very interested in a program that exceeds your expectations, but I guess Mayor Wang will be very interested."

Dinner is not luxurious, it is very simple steak, vegetable salad, fried fish and chicken nuggets.

Eva said: "I guess, Mr. Principal, these foods are all grown in your own cultivation shed, right?"

Principal Sallins nodded and said: "Yes, very correct. These are all species we cultivated ourselves. They have all been improved. Can we eat them?"

Atulu, who was devouring it, was surprised and said, "Can you still breed dragon-pointed fish on campus?"

Every large supermarket in New Zealand sells fresh fish, and the price range is also very large, ranging from a few dollars per kilogram to tens of dollars per kilogram.

In fact, the food materials of New Zealanders are relatively monotonous. There are only a handful of fish that they really like to eat, and the top one is the dragon's tip fish.

This kind of fish is not well-known internationally, and not many people know about it, and even fewer people have eaten it.

The reason for this is that the production area of ​​dragon tip fish is quite small, and it is only produced in the southern hemisphere, near the coast of New Zealand, the south coast of Australia and the southeastern coast of South America.

In other words, there is no such fish in the northern hemisphere, and only in places close to the Antarctic in the southern hemisphere.

Lincoln University is located in the outskirts of Christchurch, which is not connected to the coastline. That's why Atulu wondered how to breed seawater fish in freshwater areas?

Principal Sallins did not explain, he said: "Let's eat first, everyone, I will take you to a place later, and you will understand."

At the dinner table, Battier found a topic to discuss the food culture of various countries. There were New Zealanders, Maori, Chinese, Ukrainians, Mexicans and British people at the table, so this kind of topic was very interesting.

After eating, Principal Sallins found a minibus, and they drove to the northwest of the campus under the moonlight.

There is a small lake in the northwest of Lincoln University, which is also a breeding area of ​​the school, where some aquatic animals and fish are studied.

The distance between the two is not far, that is, a few kilometers. The car arrived quickly, and then there was a person waiting for them at the door. It was Professor Sandra Angus, an acquaintance of Wang Bo and the principal of the new campus.

"I know you've come to Lincoln University, but I'm in a hurry here this afternoon and I can't leave, so I can only ask Radian to let you stay here, and then come to my place to have a look at night." Sandra said in an apologetic tone Said.

Principal Sallins said: "Sandra, my old buddy, take them to see the gifts we have prepared."

The lake area is like a farmland, divided into several different areas by fishing nets. They entered the central area of ​​the lake by boat, and the cool moonlight fell, and the lake looked like a large crystal mirror.

There was no wind at night, but the surface of the lake was undulating. Countless water waves reflected the moonlight, emitting a silvery light.

But after getting closer, it can be found that the silver color does not come from the lake surface, but some fish that are silverier than moonlight appear on the lake surface.

The fish swam around the boat, and some jumped, so that when Professor Sandra turned on the headlights of the boat, the true appearance of the fish appeared in front of them.

Most of the fish that jump out of the water are about 20 to 30 cm long. They are silvery white with a half-moon-shaped black band behind their heads. In addition, when they jump out of the water, it can be seen that their pectoral fins are very long, which is different from ordinary fish. .

Seeing this, several voices sounded one after another: "Hey, Longjian fish!" "No, Longjian fish is in the sea, what kind of fish is this?"

Wang Bo understood what was going on, and he said in surprise: "How did you do it? Have these dragon pointed fish adapted to fresh water? They can live in fresh water?"

"If that's the gift for us, it's a real gift," Eva added.
