Chapter 938: Curtis Institute of Music
……
"Xiaofei, do you know the Curtis Institute of Music in the United States?" After a moment of silence, Liu Dong suddenly asked.
"Of course I know that the Curtis Institute of Music is sponsored by Mary. Louis. Curtis. Founded in October 1924, Bock is one of the most famous conservatories in the world. And it has the reputation of being the 'cradle of soloists' in the United States, and Lang Lang graduated from there! ”
Looking at the yearning in his sister's eyes, Liu Dong smiled: "Then do you have the confidence to be admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music?" ”
Liu Fei's pretty face showed a hint of confusion, and she shook her head in distress, "I heard that the Curtis Institute of Music only admits 160 students in the world every year, which is quite difficult!" ”
"I'll send you to take the test after the New Year!"
"But what if people can't pass the test?"
Looking at the pitiful expression on his sister's pretty face, Liu Dong smiled and scratched his straight nose, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you can't pass the exam, we will continue to work hard when the time comes!" However, I believe that my sister will not be worse than others! ”
"Brother, you're so nice!" Liu Fei said happily.
"Haha, who called me such a precious sister as you! Let's go, it's too cold outside! ”
"Hmm!"
When Liu Dong returned to the backyard with his sister, his father was still splashing ink, and then next to him, Mu Gang commanded the bodyguards and servants who stayed behind to take the written couplets and paste them elsewhere in the villa, while the mother next to him was taking Wang Qiang and Lin Ling, as well as seven or eight maids, to make dumplings together.
Because of the large number of people, the atmosphere was very hot, and Liu Dong couldn't intervene after watching it for a while. So after leaving my sister behind. I went to the study on the second floor by myself!
First of all, I checked the admission time of the Curtis Institute of Music from the Internet. It happens to be from January to March every year, and it's not too late, so Liu Dong also paid attention!
After finding the news he wanted, Liu Dong took out a large stack of materials from the drawer next to him and began to look at it carefully.
The content of the material is basically the news of the Korean business community, the 97 financial crisis, so that South Korea has advocated since the sixties with the export strategy as the leader, through the government's vigorous support, unlimited. The bankruptcy of blindly carrying out the 'octopus-foot' expansion economic development strategy, and the eventual collapse of Daewoo Group, one of the five largest conglomerates in South Korea, also once again announced the collapse of the myth of 'Malaysia is immortal'.
Subsequently, Hyundai Group, Samsung Group, SK Corporation, and LG Group all concentrated all their efforts on a few core industries by cutting their enterprises, and barely survived the economic crisis through government support, but both the government and enterprises were burdened with heavy foreign debts in this economic crisis, and many large-scale high-quality enterprises related to the security of the national economy were controlled by Western capitalists and investment institutions, especially the United States.
South Korea has suffered heavy losses in this Western-dominated capital feast, and now many multinational groups are eyeing South Korea's high-quality companies, such as Ford, which has an annual output of 2.2 million Daewoo Motors. The car division, which is worth more than $6 billion, is worth more than $6 billion, while Volvo is eyeing the truck division of the Daewoo Group. And Hyundai and Samsung are also fragrant!
Although Samsung Group has retained Samsung Real Estate, Samsung Electronics and Samsung Heavy Industries, it has more than 40 branches spanning trade, electronics, petrochemicals, construction, shipbuilding, sugar, textiles, chemical fibers, clothing, papermaking, finance and services at its peak.
The Hyundai Group, and even the other remaining large conglomerates in South Korea, have only kept three-four tenths of the original industry, and the rest has basically gone into the pockets of American godfathers!
Looking at the list of large Korean enterprises on the data, as well as the detailed introduction, how could Liu Dong not want to join this feast of capital!
However, Liu Dong couldn't predict what the consequences would be if a white man suddenly joined a yellow person on the table, but he was sure that the result would not be too pleasant!
It's not the first time he's learned the domineering in the bones of Americans!
"But why did this guy Steve remind me to join in?" Liu Dong frowned.
In short, he will never believe that the other party will be out of friendship, unless Liu Dong is dizzy, he will believe in the friendship of an American capitalist, these are guys who will even sell the country for their own interests!
"Do they know that half of the map is in my possession?"
Thinking of this possibility, but after contemplating for a while, Liu Dong vetoed it again, at that time his hands and feet were very clean, and he also borrowed the ability of the relics Yuanguang, unless the other party could predict the prophet, it was impossible for anyone to know that something was in his hands!
However, what Liu Dong doesn't know is that many times suspecting a person does not require actual evidence, but only relies on the sixth sense, that is, intuition!
Liu Dong stayed in the study for less than an hour before he was pulled out by his baby sister. The name is to accompany her to a snowball fight, well, although not too reluctantly, but who called the other party his only sister!
Until the evening, the brother and sister had fun, and then rightfully mixed eating and drinking, and the dumplings of the Chinese New Year's Eve were full of New Year's flavor!
And the annual Spring Festival Gala is also an indispensable program for every family, but in addition to Uncle Benshan, Gao Xiumin, Fan Wei's "New Year's Flavor", as well as Huang Hong, Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, Feng Gong and other people's sketches make Liu Dong watch with relish, other song programs are really lackluster, if Liu Dong didn't enjoy this atmosphere of family reunion, he would have turned off the TV and gone back to sleep in the house!
stayed up until 12 o'clock, and after eating the vegetarian dumplings wrapped by my mother, it was almost time to go to bed.
However, as soon as Liu Dong was about to get up, he saw the old mother next to him who was competing for his eyes.
Liu Dong, who had a question mark in his heart, got up and followed his mother to the kitchen, and then looked at his mother like a thief, first looked outside, and only closed the door after seeing that no one was following.
"Mom, what are you doing here? The home is very safe, no one eavesdrops! Liu Dongdao.
However, Liu Dong's words immediately ushered in a slap from his mother, of course, on the arm.
"Liu Dong, you stinky boy, let me ask you, did you ask Lin Ling's body?" Song Xiangmei glared at her son with a serious expression.
"Mom, how do you see that?"
Having said that, Liu Dong was not surprised by his mother's discovery! As long as he is not blind, he can see the affection that Lin Ling had when he saw him!
Looking at her son's laughter, Song Xiangmei just wanted to get angry, but when the words came to her mouth, they turned into a sigh, "You don't know who you stinky boy is, so attentive!" ”
"Of course you can do it with my dad!" Liu Dong stepped forward and stopped his mother's shoulder, and said with a flattering face.
"Your dad is a lot more dedicated than you are. By the way, that Yan Qingqing, did you really make someone's belly bigger? ”
Looking at his mother's questioning eyes, Liu Dong had to nod his head hard, he had promised Yan's mother that at the end of this year, the two parents would meet, but he went to the United States and then to Hong Kong.
However, Liu Dong also knows that his mother likes Wang Qiang, so he can only make up a reason to stabilize his mother first, and this reason for his mother to follow his baton is the child!
This is also an excuse that Liu Dong had to come up with!
hatefully gave his son a punch, and said angrily: "You, you, I don't even know what to say about you!" By the way, does Wang Qiang know about this? ”
"Know?"
Song Xiangmei's expression immediately became nervous, "Then she didn't say anything?" ”
"No?" Liu Dong shook his head.
"None? How can it be? After twisting her eyebrows and thinking about it, Song Xiangmei shook her head, "Forget it, I'm too old to be too lazy to care about these fancy things like you kid, but there is one thing, Liu Dong, no matter how many women you have in the future, Wang Qiang is the daughter-in-law of our Liu family, and she is the wife!" ”
"Yes, yes, Mom, I listen to you!" Liu Dong nodded and said.
"Finally, hurry up and have a baby, your father and I are still waiting to hold our grandson!"
"Mom, don't worry, I will give birth to your daughter-in-law next year! I guarantee that you and my dad will have one in one hand, and there will be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight behind! ”
Liu Dong's words immediately hit the itch in Song Xiangmei's heart, when people are old, what they are most looking forward to is their children and grandchildren around their knees, of course, now her son runs all over the world all day long, and he can't see him a few times a year, so what Song Xiangmei is looking forward to most is to hurry up and hug her grandson!
"No, it's this year! Almost fooled you! Liu Dong, you heard clearly, this year, before the end of this year, I don't care what method you use, and I don't care how many women you find, in short, your father and I have to hug our grandson, otherwise you can watch it! As she spoke, Song Xiangmei stepped forward and grabbed her son's ear.
"Did you hear that?"
"Oops, I heard Mom, it hurts!"
"If you hear me, repeat it to me!"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely let you hold your grandson this year!" Liu Dong hurriedly said.
"Humph!"
Looking at the back of his mother who snorted coldly, and pushed the door away with a high spirit, Liu Dong couldn't help but rub his ears and smile bitterly in the back, as he grew up, his mother became less and less polite to himself!
But thinking of his promise to his mother, Liu Dong also knew that he was forced to the edge of the cliff this time, if he couldn't complete his mother's explanation, next year's Spring Festival would definitely be beaten!
However, now he is just 22 years old, and he is usually just graduating from college, and he is going to be a father at the age of 22, Liu Dong is really a little resistant in his heart!
"Forget it, let it be!" Liu Dong shook his head, if he is happy with Wang Qiang and them in the future, he doesn't have to have any scruples!
You must know that Liu Dong took the initiative to avoid the dangerous period in the past!
