Greece’s Roman Road

Chapter 142: Nobel Prize?

Seeing Crown Princess Sophie who suddenly joined the chat, Nobel sighed and replied, "I have this plan in the near future."

"I'm tired of it"

"The greatest achievement in my life is gunpowder. As you can see, I also made a fortune because of the production of gunpowder."

"My time is short and I have no children. These **** riches make me feel more and more guilty."

Speaking of this, Nobel looked at Constantine, "So, Your Highness, don't take my credit for your victory, I might be happier that way."

Obviously, Nobel felt moral pressure for his invention-dynamite, which was widely used in wars and killed thousands of his kind.

Especially in France, French public opinion got Nobel and his brother Ludwig wrong. When his brother Ludwig died, he even published in the newspaper "invented a thing for war (dynamite), This kind of stuff has brought a lot of death and destruction," the shrewd obituary.

This gave Nobel a great touch and blow.

Nobel himself is not married, naturally has no heirs, and has no direct heir to his wealth. All these make Nobel's intention to retire.

"As Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said, I intend to use the vast majority of my fortune, about $9.2 million, to set up an award to inspire those who have made outstanding contributions to science."

"Maybe this will save me?" Nobel exclaimed.

After all, she looked at Sophie and joked: "If this award is successfully established, I intend to personally award you the title of "the greatest woman in the world""

Nobel's recent decision to donate most of his fortune to the establishment of the prize was also inspired by the Royal Greek Educational Foundation.

Nobel has been in Greece for several years, and his impression of Greece is ordinary, but there is only one thing in Greece that makes him feel heartfelt - the Royal Greek Education Foundation spends huge amounts of money every year to fund thousands of students, complete the great act of primary education.

The wide range of its funding, the number of funded people, and the amount of money spent each year make Nobel's heartfelt admiration for the president of the foundation, Crown Princess Sophie.

It can be said that, looking at human history, there are very few acts of kindness that benefit the people.

Since Sophie took over the management of the Royal Education Foundation and became the president of the foundation, she liked this job from the bottom of her heart - helping thousands of children, especially those from poor families, come to the school for education.

So far, more than 180,000 students have completed their preliminary studies in Greece under the sponsorship of the Foundation, and 120,000 are receiving primary education in primary schools.

The sense of self-satisfaction and achievement brought by this job allows Crown Princess Sophie to devote herself to the work of the foundation energetically even if she is not paid (Sophie, there is no salary for the work in the foundation) .

Due to his years of education, Sufi has a good reputation in Greek society, and has a tendency to overpower Constantine, even though he personally led the army to defeat the ancient enemy Ottoman's army on the battlefield.

In Greek newspapers, there are many words praising the Crown Princess Sophie, such as "a woman like the Virgin Mary" and "Light of Wisdom".

What made Constantine even more interesting was that there were also newspaper comments that the Greek army led by Crown Prince Constantine was able to defeat Ottoman on the battlefield because of the Crown Princess Sophie.

Apparently, such a statement is influenced by Greek folklore: Greek folklore - when a Greek king named Constantine, married a queen named Sophie, would again rule over the His namesake city (referring to Constantinople).

(Sophy means "wisdom" and "wise man" in Greek)

The main goal of Sophie's foundation work is to support students to complete their studies, and let the Greeks connect Sophie with the meaning of sophy in Greek.

Nobel's determination to use his property to set up awards is also partly inspired by the foundation's actions.

Nobel himself also has great respect for Crown Princess Sophie, who is engaged in education.

After seeing the good deeds of the foundation, Nobel believed that his wealth with "blood" would be meaningful to use for some causes that benefit the whole mankind.

Although his wealth is dwarfed by the foundation, it can also play a unique value - rewarding and helping the brightest minds in human society.

Since he has been engaged in education and culture for a long time, Nobel's plan naturally fell into Sophie's ears.

After hearing the affirmative answer from Nobel, Sophie said happily, "Mr. Nobel, this is really a generous act."

"If you make up your mind to do that, can you place the award in Greece?"

"I think there is no more suitable place for such an award than Greece, which is known as the "source of Western civilization""

Constantine was stunned. Nobel, Nobel Prize, based in Greece?

Isn't this a cut off from Sweden?

Stroking him, looking at Nobel, who was in deep thought beside him, Constantine thought about it and felt that it was not impossible.

After Crown Princess Sophie served as the president of the foundation, she was influenced by one of the executive members of the foundation, Ichios, the president of the University of Athens, and also took the great goal of reviving the center of Greek culture as one of her work goals. .

When Sophie heard the news that Nobel set up awards to reward those scientific workers, she became interested.

If the place where the awards are presented can be set in Greece, think about it, every year those scientists and scholars who have won the awards will gather in Athens, Greece, when the awards are presented, which will be of great benefit to Greece's restoration of its cultural center status.

Maybe some less-respected scientists, Greece can also dig corners, hire them to work in Greek universities, and enrich the scientific faculty in Greece~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Yes, Mr. Nobel, if you agree, the award will be awarded The location is in Greece, and our foundation will do our best to help you to get the award establishment and appraisal work on the right track as soon as possible,” Constantine also took the opportunity to say.

Although the Nobel family originally came from Sweden, the Nobel family originated in Russia, and most of the current family members live in Russia.

And Nobel's own experience is more complicated.

Nobel moved to Russia with his family when he was nine years old, and traveled to the United States, Germany, Britain, France, and now Greece.

I'm afraid I don't have any deep feelings for my hometown.

Therefore, it seems feasible to set the award in Greece.

"If you can agree, Mr. Nobel, the Royal Educational Foundation can contribute some of the funds and use it together with your wealth as a bonus" Sophie continued looking at the thinking Nobel.

Nobel considered the suggestions of the two people. If the award is set up in Greece, there is no doubt that with the help of these two people, whether it is the work of lawyers, the publicity of the award, or even the legal permission, the progress will be very fast.

There is no need to worry about political matters.

In this way, at the age of 63, with a serious decline in energy, I can really save my heart and effort.
