Chapter 3 Gold everywhere
The voice and appearance matched the meaning.
The caller was Mr. Andrew Nash, a math teacher at Manhattan International High School in New York, who likes Ye Dongqing very much because he is smart and has a very high talent in mathematics. Since he entered the school, he has won the first place in every math test.
New York Manhattan International High School, just by its name, seems to be a good school, but in fact it is very bad in all aspects.
It belongs to an average public school with a relatively poor student source and accepts new immigrant children. There are students from all over the world, mainly Chinese and black, as well as immigrant descendants such as Mexico and Italians.
Most students have poor family financial conditions, and the school does not charge tuition and book fees. Lunch, dinner and subway cards for bus use are also free.
I believe that the reason why Ye Dongqing's aunt and uncle chose this school was mainly because the tuition fee was cheap and did not require too much expense. In fact, since they learned that Ye Dongqing could get a scholarship, they were reluctant to even pay for living expenses.
In the eyes of these two relatives, it has been a great gift to be able to raise him with great effort. Since Ye Dongqing moved into their house a few years ago, he has never heard his parents' death compensation.
I don't plan to ask for it again, nor do I want to contact them too much.
Before his death, Ye Dongqing was definitely a rich man in New York, but he had never given her aunt and uncle a cent gift. Instead, he would occasionally contact her cousin Ding Tian alone, bringing her food or traveling. When she was an adult, she even gave her a Porsche 911.
Since his parents passed away, his emotions have become much more sensitive. He silently remembers who treats him badly and who treats him well.
Ye Dongqing, standing on the streets of Wall Street, is no longer the same Ye Dongqing as before. She looks very young and dresses very rustic. However, her body contains the soul of a billionaire.
After wandering around the gray area between black and white for so many years, his personality has long been invincible. He resented his aunt and uncle when he was young, but now there is no resentment, but he does not intend to have too many intersections.
He smiled and replied, "Okay, I feel a little uncomfortable today. I slept until I just got up and went back to class tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. OK?"
"Okay, I'll ask for leave for you.
The principal talked to me for a while and he hoped you could get into a very good university. Last year, no one in our school even entered the Ivy League! I mean really getting into it with strength, not sports or something.”
Teacher Nash has a good relationship with Ye Dongqing and speaks casually. If other students dare to pass the class, it is inevitable that they will give low scores.
Ye Dongqing stood next to the hot dog-selling dining cart, tilting her head and holding her cell phone.
He reached out and took out four dollars from his pocket, silently signaled a hot dog with fried eggs, and continued to speak: "I have already considered it. The first goal is Harvard, or other top ten schools, such as Columbia University, MIT, and Stanford, California, are also within my consideration."
"Stanford? No, no, it's a waste to go to Stanford based on your grades. When necessary, I will ask my old friend Mayor Michael Bloomberg to write a letter of recommendation for you. We met you when we were young. He will definitely help me, you know him, right?"
Teacher Nash is in his fifties this year. His parents are friends, and they occasionally eat and play cards together.
Since Mr. Michael Bloomberg became rich and became mayor, he often boasted about this in front of others. In fact, the relationship can only be considered a good one. If you really want to ask for a letter of recommendation, you can probably get it.
Compared with these old Ivy League schools, Stanford has a history and a little lacking in its foundation. It has benefited from the rise of the information industry and has gradually entered the list of first-class universities with the rise of Silicon Valley in the mid-to-late 1980s.
In the eyes of today's Americans, especially those who are older Americans like Mr. Nash, they cannot be compared with famous universities such as Harvard, Columbia University, etc.
"Well, I know Mayor Bloomberg, thank you very much...and it took twelve years."
The next sentence was added by Ye Dongqing himself in his mind, and he didn't say it.
When it comes to this famous super rich mayor, how could Ye Dongqing, who has lived in New York for so many years, not know that the founder of the famous financial news company Bloomberg News will be worth more than $40 billion in the near future, ranking among the top ten richest people in the world.
It’s right to be rich before death. It’s still a lot worse to squeeze into the circle of these super rich people. Looking back on her past, Ye Dongqing felt that she was more like a shameful "senior worker", who specializes in serving those rich and powerful guys and transferring various assets to whitewash them.
After reaching a price of more than 200 million US dollars, it is still a pawn. As soon as the FBI and the Pentagon showed signs of thorough investigation, they were easily killed by someone.
He once missed the opportunity to enter a top-level university because he had no money. God joked that he gave Ye Dongqing another chance, but this time he planned to seize it no matter what.
An admission notice from a top-notch school is a very good stepping stone in his eyes. It is not only important for ordinary workers, but also to squeeze into the top circle, education can also help a lot.
For example, in the White House, some people privately call the White House "Little Yale" because countless politicians come from Yale University and form a group of powerful groups, which is more or less convenient.
Ye Dongqing knew very well that with her yellow face, she would encounter a lot of trouble if she wanted to do something.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Even if you help others launder money, the other party is more inclined to ask white people for help. It is best to ask Jews for help. Racial prejudice is everywhere. At this time, education in prestigious schools becomes more important...
After chatting with Mr. Nash for a few more words, I hung up the phone and took the hot dog from the female employee of the fast food truck.
Today is October 13, 2002. On Sunday, I had a holiday in advance a few days ago, and the school was making up for the weekend.
Ye Dongqing, a 12th-grade student, walked on the streets of Wall Street while eating a hot dog.
He didn't know why he came here, maybe because he had come almost every day before, and had already formed a habit of finding a familiar place to stay, which would make himself more comfortable.
Last night, I found myself back to the age of eighteen. He didn't fall asleep until dawn. His face was a little haggard, but he was in good spirits, especially when his eyes stood at the door of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, he was almost shining!
The index is only 1,200 points. I remember that it had exceeded 7,500 points in 2018, and even reached 8,000 points at the highest!
In his career, he must have a sufficient understanding of the economic situation. Ye Dongqing's personal ability is better than most Wall Street analysts, and various data emerged in his mind.
These data were not important at first and could be found on the Internet, but in 2002, it became very important.
On the LED display, the names and codes of each stock are rolling with Friday's closing price, including 7.3 US dollars per share, 16 US dollars per share, Cisco, 8 US dollars per share, and 22.3 US dollars per share...
Ye Dongqing was so excited that it was now the lowest point after the Internet stock market crash. No one knew that the next was a long recovery period. Considering dividends and stock splits, it was not difficult to make dozens of returns!
