Chapter 3: Gold Everywhere (Ask for Recommendations, Collect)

The voice and appearance matched.

The caller was Mr. Andrew Nash, a math teacher at Manhattan International High School in New York, who liked Ye Dongqing very much because he had a smart brain and a high talent in mathematics, and since he entered the school, he has been able to get the first place in every math test.

The International High School in Manhattan, New York, seems to be a good school just from the name, but in fact it is terrible in every way.

It is a general public school, with a relatively poor student population, and accepts children of new immigrants, including students from all over the world, mainly Chinese and black, as well as the descendants of immigrants such as Mexicans and Italians.

The vast majority of students come from poor families, the school does not charge tuition fees and books, and lunch, dinner and subway cards are also free.

I believe that the reason why Ye Dongqing's aunt and uncle chose this school was mainly because the tuition was cheap and did not require too much expenses, in fact, since they learned that Ye Dongqing could get a scholarship, they were not even willing to give living expenses.

In the eyes of these two relatives, it is already a great gift to be able to pull him up with hard work, since Ye Dongqing lived in their house a few years ago, he has never heard his aunt mention the compensation for the death of his parents.

I'm not going to ask for them anymore, and I'm not going to contact them too much.

Ye Dongqing was definitely a rich man in New York "before he died", and he never gave his aunt and uncle even a penny as a gift, but with his little cousin Ding Tian, he would occasionally contact alone, take food or travel or the like, and gave her a Porsche 911 when she was an adult.

Since the death of his parents, his emotions have become much more sensitive, and he silently remembers who is not good to himself and who is good to himself.

Ye Dongqing, who is standing on the side of Wall Street, is no longer the original Ye Dongqing, he looks very young, dressed very dirty, but in this body, he contains the soul of a billionaire.

After wandering in the gray area between black and white for so many years, his personality has long been poisonous, and he resented his aunt and uncle when he was young, and now he can't talk about resentment, but he doesn't plan to have too many intersections.

He smiled and replied, "Okay sir, I'm a little unwell today, I just woke up from sleep, and I'll go back to class tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, OK?"

"Alright then, I'll take a leave of absence for you.

The principal just talked to me for a while, and he wants you to get into a really good university, and last year no one in our school even made it to the Ivies! I mean really get in on merit, not sports or anything like that. ”

Teacher Nash has a good relationship with Ye Dongqing, and his tone of voice is quite casual, if other students dare to skip his class, it is inevitable that the score will be low.

Ye Dongqing stood next to the food truck selling hot dogs, tilting his head and holding his mobile phone.

Reaching out and taking out four dollars from his pocket, he silently motioned for a hot dog with an omelette, and continued: "I've already thought about it, and my first target is Harvard, or other top ten schools, such as Columbia University, MIT, and Stanford, California, which are also on my radar. ”

"Stanford, no, no, no, it's a waste to go to Stanford with your grades, and if necessary, I'll ask my old friend Mayor Michael Bloomberg to write you a letter of recommendation, we've known each other since we were kids, and he'll definitely help me, you know he's right?"

Mr. Nash is in his fifties this year, and his parents are friends, and they occasionally eat and play cards together.

Since Mr. Michael Bloomberg made a fortune and became the mayor, he often bragged about it in front of others, but in fact, the relationship can only be regarded as okay, and if you really want to ask for a letter of recommendation, most of them can be obtained.

Compared with these old Ivy League schools, Stanford has a history and a little lack of heritage. It has been stained with the rise of the information industry, and it has only gradually broken into the list of first-class universities with the rise of Silicon Valley since the mid-to-late 80s.

In the eyes of today's Americans, especially in the eyes of elderly Americans like Mr. Nash, they cannot be compared with Harvard, Columbia University and other famous universities.

"Well, I know Mayor Bloomberg, thank you very much...... And it's twelve years. ”

The latter sentence was added by Ye Dongqing himself in his mind, and he did not say it.

When it comes to the famous super-rich mayor, how could Ye Dongqing, who has lived in New York for so many years, not know that the founder of Bloomberg News, a famous financial news company, 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 have money before he died, but it's still a lot worse to squeeze into the circle of these super-rich, thinking back to his former self, Ye Dongqing feels that he is more like a disgraceful "senior worker", specializing in serving those rich and powerful guys, transferring all kinds of assets to launder.

Mixed with a value of more than 200 million US dollars, after all, it is still a chess piece, and the FBI and the Pentagon just showed some signs of a thorough investigation, and he was easily killed.

Once because he had no money, he missed the opportunity to enter a top school, but God jokingly gave Ye Dongqing another chance, and this time he planned to seize it anyway.

An admission letter from a top school is a very good stepping stone in his eyes, not only for ordinary workers, but also for those who want to squeeze into the top circle, and academic qualifications can also help a lot.

For example, in the White House, some people privately call the White House "Little Yale", because countless politicians in it come from Yale University and form a power group, which will be more or less convenient.

Ye Dongqing knew very well in his heart how much trouble he would encounter if he wanted to do something with his yellow face.

Nothing else, even for money laundering for others, the other party is more inclined to ask for help from white people, preferably Jews, racial prejudice is everywhere, and at this time a degree from a prestigious university is more important......

After chatting with Mr. Nash, he hung up the phone and took the hot dog from the female employee of the food truck.

Today is October 13th, 2002, Sunday, a few days ago has been an early holiday, and the school is making up classes on the weekend.

Ye Dongqing, a 12th grader, walks the streets of Wall Street eating a hot dog.

He didn't know why he came here, probably because he used to come almost every day, and he had formed a habit of finding a familiar place to stay more comfortable.

Last night I found myself back at the age of eighteen, and then he didn't fall asleep until dawn, his face was a little haggard, but he was in good spirits, especially these eyes, when he stood at the door of the NASDAQ stock exchange, he was about to glow!

The index is only 1,200 points, and I remember that in 2018, it has exceeded 7,500 points, and the highest even stood at 8,000 points!

In his line of work, he must maintain a sufficient understanding of the economic situation, Ye Dongqing's personal ability is better than that of most analysts on Wall Street, and various data have emerged in his mind.

These data were originally unimportant and could be found on the Internet, but in 2002, they were very important.

On the LED display, the names and symbols of each stock are scrolling along with Friday's closing price, Apple stock at $7.3 a share, Amazon stock at $16 a share, Cisco at $8 a share, and Microsoft at $22.3 a share......

Seeing Ye Dongqing's heart, it is now the lowest point after the Internet stock market crash, no one knows that the next is a long recovery period, considering dividends and stock splits, etc., it is not difficult to earn dozens of times the income!

Some of the names of companies he is familiar with have not yet entered it, such as Google, Facebook, etc., which can be called gold everywhere! If he doesn't make more money this time, God won't be able to stand it......
