Chapter 524: The Deepest Depths of Red Dust (2-in-1 Chapter)
Sheng Qianyu is not the only Chinese student studying here, whether it is a domestic official or a slightly powerful entrepreneur, several of their school-age children have enrolled in Harvard this year, of course, mainly undergraduates.
It seems to be our instinct to identify each other through some kind of connection, which we call a simple social process, and Chen Ziyi doesn't know much about foreign cultures, but we do show this phenomenon in our own culture.
In fact, there is a similar phenomenon in universities in my country, for example, the hometown association.
In a foreign country, this kind of thirst is even stronger, after all, the villagers have tears in their eyes when they see their fellow villagers, so the seniors who have been living in Harvard for a year or two can always contact Sheng Qianyu through some channels.
In general, she will not face the awkward situation of having no one to talk to.
On the day of the start of school, many compatriots also met Chen Zier, who may still be a fledgling in the United States, but in China, Chen Zier has already made a name for himself.
A few hours later, Sheng Qianyu received an invitation to the party, and Chen Zier was still in front of her in the invitation.
I should meet some people who do business in China, who can study here these years, not to mention that they are either rich or expensive, but at least they are above the middle class.
Of course, there may still be few big guys, after all, there are only a few people, how can there be so many children studying here.
Chen Zier didn't show his high posture, and this was also to make some friends, so he went.
It's a relatively small party, plus a total of four people in Qianyu, of course, there are more than these people at Harvard, but there is a kind of threshold that is not explicitly stated in this gathering.
It can be seen in the extravagance of the venue and the costumes of the other two girls and a boy.
A word called 'circle' instantly appeared in Chen Zier's mind, and Qianyu entered this circle because of him and made a few friends.
The parents of the three children who are studying are here, and for them, the fact that the children can attend Harvard is also their glorious moment, unless there is something important, they are all here to witness.
Chen Zier took a shallow Yu and shook hands with them one by one, he mainly recognized his father, the shortest son he brought his son, and he had less hair, but the immature son was very delicate, with glasses, quite bookish, and the other two girls were also a little gentle and elegant, caused by the growing environment since childhood, but to say that one of them looks okay, bright eyes, bright teeth, youthful, as for the other, it is a little enough.
"Chairman Chen, please sit down. ”
The man who spoke with a southern accent was the father of a girl, a strong man with a beer belly.
After the introduction, Chen Zier roughly knew that the boy's father's surname was Liu, who was in the auto parts business, the first man to talk to him was surnamed Yang, and the Yang Group, which ran the family, was engaged in the processing trade of hometown nut specialties, and the last one was surnamed Tang, who was doing real estate development in the Yangtze River Delta region, and his daughter was the one who looked okay among the two girls.
The three of them are all trendsetters of the times, and they have each struggled to create a medium-sized enterprise, and if they are placed locally, they will definitely be the richest people or something.
Today, because I am in a foreign land, it can be regarded as a special fate.
Chen Zier just wanted to communicate simply, but the politeness of these three people made the difference between the 'status of the rivers and lakes'.
So there was no mutual communication at all during the banquet, but the three of them communicated with Chen Zier.
Liu's father, the father of the only boy, instructed his son: "If you have anything to do in the future, you have to help more, the three of them are all girls." ”
The angry son pursed his lips embarrassedly and nodded.
Chen Zier only listened to the kind words, and he had a proper arrangement for him to study here.
He should have talked about the situation at school, and he meant it himself, but the three of them always had to steer the topic in a bigger direction.
Mr. Tang, named Tang Danian, said to Chen Zier: "Mr. Chen's Shengshi Group seems to be also involved in the real estate market?"
"I didn't expect Mr. Tang to know that the branch is still starting. Chen Zier responded.
Tang Danian waved his hand, "Mr. Chen is humble, the two projects last year were very good, and they can be called a model for small and medium-sized real estate companies." I would like to take this opportunity to communicate with Mr. Chen. ”
Chen Zier understood, he said: "A few days ago, I visited some people, many of whom are very concerned about China's economy, they are very skeptical about my choice to do SPOD, in their opinion, China's technical strength is weak, it is very difficult to do, and a few people also suggested that I put my energy into real estate, they all feel that this industry has some rising trends." ”
What he said was someone else's statement, and how to tell the difference was his own business.
The man surnamed Yang said: "I think it will rise, and I want to go in and try it when the time is right." However, in the past two years, I have seen a lot of money as health care products, and the Giant Group has made a lot of money, but I don't think there is anything mysterious about that thing, and it really makes him a lot of money by getting around. ”
His voice is somewhat rough and his speech is very direct.
Chen Zier said: "The economic environment is good, and many industries have opportunities. ”
Dad Liu agreed, "Mr. Chen is right, there will definitely be more and more people buying cars in the future." ”
Everyone chatted like this, in fact, it was easier for Dad Yang and Chen Zier to cooperate, he was engaged in nut food processing trade, and had a combination point with pudding convenience stores, but he was a little reckless, and he was reckless without wisdom, so he had the worst impression of him.
Father Tang is more mellow, and his daughter is more flexible, chatting with Sheng Qianyu without talking, and raising a wine glass to toast Chen Zier.
And Qianyu felt that this girl still had obvious intentions to pat her on the back, and followed Chen Zier, she was no stranger to this kind of language.
Tang Danian also spoke the most, and after the exchange of industry exchange economy, he said: "Since 98 years, affected by the Southeast Asian financial crisis, our economic pressure is relatively large, after the sharp decline in foreign demand, we can only rely on national bond investment, Mr. Chen, have you ever worried about this?"
"No, as for the investment in Treasury bonds, what we are doing now is almost a copy of Roosevelt's New Deal, and from a historical point of view, it has been relatively successful in resolving the problem of overproduction. Chen Zier said with a smile.
After the end, Sheng Qianyu told Chen Zier about his feelings, "The Tang family's daughters are so enthusiastic, I am a little unaccustomed to it." ”
Chen Zier smiled and didn't speak, this is to see his face.
Sheng Qianyu said with some criticism: "That Tang Danian is also right, looking polite, but I didn't expect to teach my daughter these things, if you want to do business, you can do it well." ”
Come to think of it, he initiated this little party.
Chen Zier persuaded: "Okay, there's no need to be angry with yourself about this, that little girl, you can contact if you want to, forget it if you don't want to, as for what she and her father think, we just know." ”
Qianyu glanced at him with a little resentment.
"In the future, I have to hide the identity of your girlfriend, otherwise I don't know what friends I made. ”
Chen Zier smiled, "You're just too smart, so you're always worrying." ”
For example, if you want to continue to study, if you become a fool, Mrs. Chen can be a fool, and what do you want to learn.
"I'm smart?"
"Intelligence is high. Chen Zier said.
Sheng Qianyu pouted, "Listen to what you mean, there is something in the words." ”
"That's why you have a high level of intelligence. Chen Zier was also convinced, but his tone changed, and he said: "Actually, I've been thinking, people, if you want to be happy, you can't be too stupid, that's stupid, it's not okay to be too smart, the best should be between smart and stupid, that's called wisdom." It's too smart to be defensive, too stupid to be fiddling, so... It's really, it's hard to be confused. ”
And on the other side,
Tang Danian said to his daughter: "Shanshan is quite organic today, I think that the little boy is a little wooden, and the girl is a little inherited from her father. ”
Tang Shanshan smiled happily, "After all, they are all in college, and they won't always be like children." ”
Tang Danian and his wife glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile, "Ouch, this is about to become an adult." ”
"But, Dad, I didn't see anything special about this Chen Zier tonight?"
"Isn't that special enough, you see he's not much older than you, but he can talk to us, and you may not understand those words tonight, but in fact he answers them quite well, and cleanly, which requires not only the ability to express himself, but also the ability to think clearly. ”
Her mother also said: "You should also be humble when you go to Harvard, don't be too proud, I think people are personable, modest and polite, that is, he has a girlfriend ......."
Tang Danian waved his hand, "Hey, don't think about this." Shanshan is talking nonsense, you are thinking about things, think about it, how many people at the age of 23 have just graduated from college and can have a deeper understanding of economics and business?"
Tang Shanshan was slightly silent. Then he said: "I heard that he made money from stock trading at first, and he was really lucky. ”
Tang Danian said: "The gap between a success and failure may lie in luck, but continuous success, that is, the all-round gap between ideas and action, no matter how much benefit the time and place have given him, Shengshi can achieve such an achievement today, he is very remarkable." ”
……
……
Chen's return flight started in San Francisco, so he had to go back to Silicon Valley, and Xue Bohua was with him.
After spending a few days in New York, he decided to go to California to see how big the United States is, and there are still differences in different places.
In the airspace of the United States of America, Chen Zier flew with him in the first class cabin of a Boeing 767.
Lao Xue was a little tanned, but he was in good spirits.
"How was it in New York?" Chen Zier had a rare leisure time.
Xue Bohua changed into the T-shirt and jeans that are popular here, and said with a long sigh of relief: "There are many feelings, but in general, it opens up a new world." ”
"Is it so powerful, what did you do?"
Xue Bohua didn't answer him immediately, but asked, "Do you know the place in Flushing, New York?"
"When I talk to people, I seem to have heard about it, but I haven't been there. Chen Zier replied.
Xue Bohua thought about it and said: "New York is full of gold and wreckage, Flushing is the wreckage, it is a Chinese gathering area, mixed fish and dragons, I went there and realized that money in New York is supreme." ”
Chen Zier pursed his lips and smiled. After graduating, everyone began to get in touch with society, and this kid slowly began to change.
"It doesn't look like it's a very nice place. ”
Xue Bohua smiled, "A five-square-meter balcony, even if it is a panoramic bay window bedroom, and a seven-square-meter attic, it is simply a luxurious sunny single room." Spend a few dozen dollars to vent and relax your body. ”
Chen Zier thought to himself that you have found out this kind of secret, but in fact, he himself remembered some interesting phenomena, "You still belong to the upper class in China, and you may not know the middle and lower class people, just like you said These men in Flushing, as long as they have a US green card, they can fly to major cities in China, eat in restaurants, live in hotels, and there are many women who are interested in the United States who are responsible for reimbursing them for everything, including air tickets when they come." ”
Xue Bohua was stunned, "I haven't talked to anyone about this. Really?"
"Anyway, do you want to try?"
"No, the green ticket can solve the problem, and the green card can't solve my problem. What impressed me the most in Flushing was that he had big planes flying overhead every five minutes, and this is the suburb next to the airport, and if there are women like that, what are they doing here?"
"Who knows. Chen Zier sighed, turned his head and said, "It sounds like you have a deep grudge against New York and don't like it here?"
"No, I think it's pretty good. Xue Bohua shook his head and said, "New York is an all-encompassing and most thorough jungle society, what kind of people and what kind of culture is not surprising here, but what I like the most is that here, I am myself, not a foreigner, nor a local, there is no distinction between the majority and the minority, there is no difference between the collective and the camp." ”
"There is a difference between rich and poor. Chen Zier added.
"It's almost, but at the age of 23, I think it has some kind of blood and charm, there is no quiet time here, here is the deepest part of the red dust in the world that is both lively and prosperous. ”
"You like that?"
"Hmm. I hope that the day I die, the day this life ends, something will be written on my tombstone. ”
Chen Zier was willing to applaud him.
Xue Bohua is still different from Xiaobo and Yifeng, the latter thinks more about making a living, and struggling is also to make a living, and he, the second generation of officials, does not have these pressures, so he can think about his inscription, in other words, the concentration of life.
"However, Lao Chen, I do find that spending a penny more in this city is a little more comfortable," he squinted his eyes and smiled evilly: "Here, it's really good to be rich, and I've heard that people will slowly become the kind of person they hate the most, you say...... If I start hating the rich from now on, won't it be too late?"
Chen Zier: "......"
Why didn't I think I was as witty as you before I was reborn?
