Chapter 396: Speech
What kind of high-end occasions have not been seen, even if it is the Oval Office in Washington, or the gathering of Wall Street bigwigs organized by the Federal Reserve, Ye Dongqing has experienced it, standing on the stage at the moment in front of the crowds of students, parents and teachers, he is not stunned at all, hearing the reporters shouting at him, he also smiled and waved his hand, posed for them to take pictures.
In the past, there would not be so many reporters at the Harvard graduation ceremony, and at least 20 media outlets came here specifically to shoot Ye Dongqing.
He was late today and had already missed a lot of interesting parts.
Just over an hour earlier, a few drummers in traditional Scottish skirts played the opening door, and then Harvard's Ph.D., master's, and undergraduate graduates left the campus in neat graduation gowns under the guidance of three Harvard flags, and walked down the street with joy on their faces, receiving blessings from the people.
After the parade, they entered the Harvard Central Lawn in turn, which is full of chairs today, the main venue of the graduation ceremony, and the campus that is usually open to the public.
It's not a pity, the annual Harvard graduation ceremony is about the same, Ye Dongqing faced the crowd at the moment, and whispered to Mr. Bloomberg, the mayor of New York: "Sir, why are you here today?"
"Of course, I received an invitation, and I might give you a diploma later, but don't you know that I also graduated from Harvard? But that was 39 years ago, and I got my MBA from Harvard in 1966, and I can get an honorary doctorate from Harvard today. ”
Mr. Bloomberg's tone was brisk, and it was evident that he seemed to be in a good mood, and I don't know if it was because of the honorary doctorate, or because he thought of his own time through this commencement ceremony, and every old man was once young, but unfortunately time went too quickly.
Ye Dongqing really didn't know what was going on, and was slightly stunned and then said: "Congratulations, I heard that there is a guy who actually wants to build a building next to my building?
Unable to help but laugh, Mr. Bloomberg shrugged his shoulders slightly and replied, "I can't call the shots, after all, the company's bid is not low, and it ...... There's nothing wrong with the building itself. ”
There is nothing wrong with the building itself, but the fault is that it is placed next to the Cobra Building.
The cause of the incident began three days ago, when Ye Dongqing accidentally learned from the designer of the Cobra Building that another piece of land on Hudson Yards had been purchased.
If it's just like this, there's no problem, the concept map of the gas in the building turned out to be a long sword shape that pierced the sky, although it was not named, but most of it was aimed at the Cobra Building, and it was a sword that wanted to be made into a "snake slaughter", as you can see from the name, the Japanese name of the design draft is called "Tiancong Cloud Building", at first he didn't know, and then he heard that it was one of the three artifacts obtained after killing the Yaqi snake in this legend.
Legends, after all, are just legends, Ye Dongqing is not superstitious, but he vaguely feels the meaning of being targeted, so he feels unhappy.
I thought about building a landmark building that can be passed down for a hundred years, but being messed with by the other party like this can easily become a joke in the mouths of others.
It is impossible to change the design drawing, the Cobra Building is already under construction, he doesn't understand that among the high-level members of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, who is full of food and plays by himself, but it is not okay to forget it like this, so he took the opportunity to propose it to Mr. Bloomberg, if he didn't happen to see it today, Ye Dongqing would also go to him in a few days.
"Then there's nothing you can do to stop them?" Ye Dongqing asked unrelentingly.
"It doesn't seem like it seems to me, they have invested a lot of money, I have to think about the other citizens of New York, the employment rate, the amount of taxes, the international impact of these have to be taken into account, it is a Fortune 500 company, after completion, it will create at least 1,000 jobs for New York, most of the workers during the construction period are also Americans, you should know that I can't help you with this kind of help......"
Let's talk about this for now, because the Rector has called Mr. Bloomberg's name and asked him to go and get his honorary diploma.
As for Ye Dongqing and other "ordinary" graduates, they will get their degree certificates in the auditorium later, the only use of this thing in Ye Dongqing's hands is just to hang it in the office and be used as an exhibit, it is impossible for him to go to the job search and find a job again, it is impossible in this life.
Minutes and seconds passed.
As Ye Dongqing expected, the theme of the speech was indeed related to keywords such as "race", "contradiction", and "harmony", and many white students began to doze off.
The applause was not intense, a lot of it was just out of politeness, when the principal who played the role of the host mentioned the student representative Ye Dongqing and said a lot of honors, the applause was much more sincere and warm.
Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, so that many business school students have never seen Ye Dongqing, he was just an ordinary rich man when he was studying here, and his influence was 108,000 miles worse than now, at the ceremony, some people were annoyed that they didn't have a good relationship with him at the beginning, and there were also fledgling little guys, who were ambitious to surpass Ye Dongqing's achievements, and they were simply envious and jealous.
It's very interesting, isn't it, many canaries who have just left the birdcage, and think that this society can really let them fly, in school and in society is different, of course, there are guys like little Edward, most of them have to rely on themselves, it may not be difficult to mix a middle class, ordinary high yield, and then it is not so easy to go up.
At this moment, Ye Dongqing waved hello, came to the podium and patted the microphone, stood there with both hands, and said: "All the alumni and parents of the alumni present, please allow me to waste a few minutes of your time and listen to me talk about the life experience I have summed up in the past few years.
It is no secret that I, Leo Yeh, was born in an ordinary middle-class family, and after my parents had an accident, I went to live with my aunt's family, these are no secrets, many people may know, it was the first turning point in my life, the second was in 2002, when I had just finished the SAT and ACT, I used to work hard to earn money to try to do business, what should I do if I don't have enough money? I told the former boss of the Tamsui Fund that he would sell the company to me first and pay him the money later, the lie was bad, but I was really confident that I could make a difference, and I had the best plan to pay back the money after working for a few years after failure.
God forbid, I'm glad I survived and I'm standing here today. Of course, I want to tell you that you are not lying like me, integrity is indeed very important, this matter is deeply impressed in my mind, so in the following days, I have been reminding myself to keep, keep all the promises and contracts, I want to tell you that everyone here, as long as there is perseverance, there is a goal, in the end will be successful, maybe not perfect, but wait until you are old and then look at the experience of hard work when you are young, it will definitely be a wonderful process that can satisfy yourself......"
