Lip is now not short of money on hand.

After receiving $50,000 from Peggy's grandmother, Lipner's $30,000 earned during the summer vacation was invested in the Bitcoin market, leaving only $50,000 in his hands.

Since this money was sponsored by Peggy's grandmother to go to college, he used it for college life and did not plan to use it for other purposes.

$50,000 is certainly not worth mentioning to those billionaires, but for an average college student, it is already a huge amount of money.

Without squandering at will, and without paying tuition and accommodation fees, this money is enough to ensure that Lip will live a very prosperous college life in the future.

Of course, Lip will not keep this cash in his hands all the time.

As the current world currency, the value of the US dollar is the strongest, but under the influence of the economic crisis, depreciation is also occurring.

Deposit banks are also unreliable, and the interest rate of US banks is almost equal to nothing, and they cannot keep up with the rate of inflation.

To invest in other areas, the value of this money is too small to find any good projects.

After some thought, Lip decided to use all the money to buy Apple stock.

This is a relatively worry-free investment for Lipper, Apple's stock price will have a significant spike next, buy its shares, and your own money can sit and wait for appreciation.

Moreover, with this stock as the base, Lip can apply for a credit card with a relatively large amount for daily consumption.

In addition, Shen Feng's three incomes during the summer vacation, although the upside-down iPhone and mobile ice cream sales trucks have all stopped for their own reasons, but the reselling of Chinese goods continues, and it can still bring Lipu three or four thousand dollars a month.

This income is enough to support Lip's daily expenses, and it is more than enough.

On the university campus, there is no place to spend money, and the largest amount of daily expenses is meals, clothes, shoes and hats, daily necessities, and only occasional temporary consumption.

Lip has not yet reached the stage of enjoying life and pursuing the quality of life, and what he usually wears is T-shirts, jeans, or sportswear, and sportswear from big-name sports brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour, which is only a set of 100 dollars or so dollars, which is not a high consumption.

Lip and Chrissy have not had much contact, and they don't have an in-depth understanding of her temper and temperament, but just through simple communication, they can deduce that her family background is definitely better than herself, and it's hard to say how good it is, but her excellent family background ensures that she is not that kind of material girl.

This can be seen from her current outfit.

The simple T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers she wore were definitely not luxury brands, and certainly not a local stall, they might be some niche fashion brands, and the price was not high.

Chrissy only brought a mobile phone with her, and she didn't even take her wallet, and when the phone was exchanged before, Lip saw that it was an iPhone 4, but the iPhone 4, which costs four or five hundred dollars, is not a luxury, and if it is a custom machine, the price is even cheaper to two or three hundred dollars, which is not uncommon.

Lip now uses an iPhone 4 himself, a gift from Mandy.

Chrissy doesn't have any jewelry on her body, her ears and neck are refreshing, empty, she wears a watch on her wrist, Lipp, who is not very familiar with the watch brand, she doesn't see what brand it is, she wears a ring on the index finger of her right hand, the style is very simple, it is a ring, the material is like platinum, Lip can't get close to take a closer look, so it's not very accurate.

Although it was a date, Lip didn't plan to take Chrissy to a high-end restaurant in the city center, but found a random restaurant outside the school that seemed to have a good environment, went in to find a place, and sat across from him.

The neighborhood near the University of Chicago is home to many faculty and staff of the University of Chicago, making this neighborhood a lot more upscale than the wealthy neighborhoods in the north, but compared to the slums where the Gallagher House is located.

So, this unassuming restaurant is not very low-grade, with an average cost of about $150 per person, which is the perfect occasion for Lip and Chrissy on their first date.

Lip, who is worth only a few hundred thousand dollars, really doesn't need to go to those high-end restaurants in the city center that often consume more than 1,000 per capita to fill his head, and on a first date, of course, he can't take a girl to eat fast food.

The consumption grade of this restaurant is just right.

The atmosphere, the environment is suitable, too.

The people who came to eat in this restaurant were basically faculty, staff, and students from the University of Chicago, so that Lip and Chrissy were in it, and they were at ease, ordering a good meal, and the two sitting opposite each other slowly relaxed.

"Look at the way you look when you order, do you often come here to eat?" Lip said first.

"I've been here a few times, and this restaurant is pretty good in the neighborhood. Chrissy said.

They all opened their mouths, and it was easy to say later, they were all students at the University of Chicago, and they still had a lot of common topics to talk about, and even if there was no topic, Lip could use his status as a freshman to ask Chrissy for some advice.
