S

Dear Jeffrey, I wonder you would be interesting to meet presi=ent Qiu of Tsinghua university,

If so , you can either come to Boston to meet president Qiu on May 6 mornin= or find some time to meet him in New York City

By the way, Conan Leung said that he has not met you for a long time . Best regards

conan was = great one time help. he earned his money, l=think i need more of a structured presentation, I am in europe=until the 5th, unlikely to make it back in time. =C2 I look forward to seeing you next time Im in cambridge.=C2 . . what days is he in new york/?

Two things here President Qiu of Tsinghua un=versity can meet you in New York City on May 7, Can you do it ? =ou can learn first hand on what may happen . As for Conan , he I=ke to meet you and depends on your time. He left his position in HK for ni=e months , expecting to help you . But is surprised that you only see him =ne time . I believe that he is not paid by his university on this part.

as you recall . I said we would=try a test run and then make a decision . I wanted to le=rn chinese culture. He came and said what questions do you hav=. ? I asked some questions . not knowing the=field at all, made my questions fairly trivial. He is educated , ver= nice, but has no experience teaching the subject I hoped to learn = thank you

S

It would have been easier if you tell him =ight afterwards In any case,I assume that you are not inte=ested to explore support for Tsinghua in Boston Is it =rue ? Yau
