Chapter 63: Getting Rich Relieves a Thousand Sorrows
Harvard now ranks first in the United States in terms of comprehensive strength, which is why the old principal spared no effort to recommend Zhang Xiaokai to this school.
They wanted to use him as an example to prove that their school could produce the best students, and tried to recruit some good students, but the best students were snatched away by other better private and public schools, and their status in secondary schools was very embarrassing.
Compared with this incident, a little scholarship is nothing, and the $50,000 scholarship was successfully passed within two hours of Zhang Xiaokai leaving the president's office, and he will speak at the graduation ceremony on behalf of all graduates, which is also a proud honor.
Soon to leave this middle school.
I feel a little reluctant, not much, but it does exist.
After spending so many years in a blink of an eye, from the first grade to the eleventh grade, I feel a little relaxed when I think that I am about to enter the university gate.
I didn't have the right to choose my own life before, and I was limited by the troubles of money, and most of all the pleasures in the adult world are inseparable from the amount of money.
And now he has the opportunity to choose his own life trajectory, because of the golden bird, because of his father to help make money, in the foreseeable future, there will definitely be no worries about eating and drinking, whether it is the income from the publication of the book or the scholarship this time, it is the money that Zhang Xiaokai earned back with his own strength.
After deciding to go to Harvard, he also had trouble choosing what kind of major, he didn't want to learn the skills of working for others, but he wanted to learn the skills to make his life more fulfilling in the future, and most of the time he would still lean on the literature major, but he didn't want to learn too much, so as not to become a nerd.
……
Before the graduation ceremony, the Harvard admissions department sent someone to conduct a separate interview with Zhang Xiaokai.
Just talking, writing a test paper, no problems.
The graduation ceremony is not brilliant at all, the speech is combined with more than a dozen graduation speeches after the summary, it sounds very touching, but in fact, it does not help other students' lives, just a big bowl of chicken soup, whether other students like it or not, pinch their noses and pour it down.
didn't say goodbye to anyone, those who should be contacted will still be contacted, and those who don't contact may never intersect again, so just an hour after the graduation ceremony, Zhang Xiaokai took a huge check and took the car back to Oregon with his father.
In the car, he was vaccinated and said, "The $50,000 is mine, and I want to use it to do what I want to do, and I won't spend it indiscriminately, so don't worry about it." ”
Still the big black pickup truck, Daddy Zhang smiled playfully, looked at his son and said, "How old are you, are you ready to break up with me?" 50,000 US dollars, not 500 US dollars, how about I give you 1,000 US dollars, and I will save the rest for you." ”
"Don't fool me like a child, when I go to Harvard, there will be a lot of places to spend money, I'm fed up with the life of lack of money and having to call you, it's time to be independent. ”
"Does that mean that you don't need me to give you other living expenses for your college life? Are you sure you can spend so much money reasonably?"
"I helped Ronald Sr. take care of his bank account and even found a way to help avoid taxes, and there was a lot more money in that account than this check, and even better because he didn't talk as much as you.
“…… Whatever you want, after all, I'm a student at Harvard University, and I can't control you anymore. Son, do you know that the trust account that Mr. Lamber gave you has increased by more than $600,000?"
Zhang Xiaokai hadn't looked at it for a while, almost half a year, and the general asked: "It's really more than 600,000 US dollars?"
"If the trust company is not a scammer, it must be true, and the news also says that Apple has risen amazingly, we bought its phone, and others are buying it, and now it has become the top mobile phone manufacturer in the world, and so is the laptop. Daddy Zhang's tone was relaxed, he suddenly made such a large amount of money, and the trust side already had 1.5 million US dollars, so he was naturally in a good mood.
"Daddy, don't mention that we wanted to buy this money into government bonds, it would make us look like a joke. ”
Zhang Xiaokai was moved and added: "Investment and financial management should really be handed over to professionals to deal with, Mr. Lambold's vision is really good, we should make a phone call to thank him." ”
"I have to wait for you to say, I have already contacted, Mr. Lamber, he bought more Apple shares, I didn't ask how much, but he should make a very, very good ......"
The iPhone 4 was just released last year, and everyone who invested in Apple made money without exception.
The father and son began to plan to accept it when they saw it, and settle the bag safely, in fact, this is just the beginning of a capital carnival feast, thinking about it, Daddy Zhang still thinks that it is better to wait and see for a while.
can only be said to have taken shit luck, and earned money in a daze.
Probably all the bad luck ran out at the beginning of last year, and now the father and son are quite lucky, and the Cleveland Ranch ushered in a "midterm exam", slaughtering two cows at will, and the meat quality is still very good.
Ms. Shelly offered to sign a long-term contract with a three-year, $15 million deposit, the kind that would be paid in a lump sum, but would not allow her to contact high-end restaurants herself.
In exchange, the price of beef and mutton will be increased by five percent each year, from this year's purchase price by five percent each year, starting next year, provided that the quality of the cattle and sheep is guaranteed, otherwise they have the right to recover the deposit of the current year.
Daddy Zhang agreed without much thought, the advantage of choosing this long-term supply contract is to be worry-free, only need to be responsible for breeding, and can also solve the current debt problem of the ranch.
At the end of June, the contract was signed, and the $15 million fund was quickly disbursed, and after paying off the bank loan of more than $5.7 million, $2 million from the remaining money was transferred to the old Ronald Sr's account.
At this terrible rate of money, the Cleveland ranch could be completely bought from the old man in two years, and by the beginning of July, the fishery had brought in more than $1.4 million, including the sale price of five tuna, and the largest one sold for $169,000.
The funny thing is that after filing the tax return in April, the Federal Tax Service also specially arranged for someone to check the accounts and took Daddy Zhang for questioning, thinking that he was engaged in money laundering.
The reason is that the amount of capital flow is too large, far exceeding the income of other ranches, and after the investigation, it is found that there is nothing wrong, and the taxes that should be paid have been settled, and the people are released again.
Poor for a long time.
There was so much money that the Zhang family didn't know what to buy, and they still had more than 10 million US dollars in their accounts, so they went to the big city to buy a Mercedes-Benz G-class AMG, and bought a large fishing boat with a price of more than one million US dollars, and there was nowhere to spend the rest of the money.
After thinking about it, I finally chose to deposit another $7 million into the trust account and take care of the previous money.
The ownership of the Cleveland Ranch belongs to Zhang Xiaokai, calculating the worth, cash, financial products, plus fixed assets, inexplicably became a multimillionaire, to be honest, the father and son were in a state of confusion, and then realized that they were so rich, and it took a few days to relax.
At the beginning, Zhang Xiaokai only knew that the golden bird was a good thing, but now he understands how powerful it is, and he suffers from gains and losses for this, for fear that he will be picked up by someone in the river......
