Chapter 27: Friends and Followers (1)

"In the past few days since I was away, have there been any major events?" After greeting his friends, Li Xu asked while sitting on the protagonist's seat, yes, the penultimate row by the window. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's going on at Oakland High School? It's graduation season, but it's not really here yet, and everything is pretty uneventful. Adam shrugged.

Then he leaned in a few points, lowered his voice with a mysterious smile and asked, "I heard that you invited Jia to New York this time because the Hunter family hoarded silver and made a lot of money from it?"

"Oh, the news has already circulated?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, I've heard from my uncle that Wall Street has been talking about a young man who's only 18 years old has been doing a lot of money hoarding in the past few days," Adam raised an eyebrow, "and I didn't hear it very clearly, but I knew it had to be you." ”

"Okay," Li Xu shrugged, "short silver, 5 million principal, 10 times the profit." ”

It was brief, but it was enough for someone like Adam Pritzker to understand, so he immediately whistled: "Wow, Lauren Hewlett would have a good face if he knew." ”

"What, does he have any wonderful ideas lately?" Li Xu asked curiously.

"Oh, of course, he doesn't want to go into politics now, he wants to be a banker, and two days ago he was bragging about his family's relationship with the Chase Manhattan board of directors, and he could make millions casually when he went in. Adam shrugged.

"It's pathetic. Li Xu shrugged his shoulders insincerely.

The Americans are not as cowardly as the Japanese, and even if he fights with others as soon as school starts, and invites all his parents, it only stops for more than half a month.

What's more, it's middle school now, and they are all young people in their teens, unconvinced, and there are many people who are unhappy with him.

What else can be done in this case? If you want to do it, you can just do it.

Of course, because the impact of the first fight was not very good, although there were a few moves after that, they were quite "sparring" in nature, such as the second fight with Adam.

Well, the guy who looked at him very unpleasantly after he introduced himself arrogantly, and led three people to block him behind the gymnasium, and was beaten to the point that his nose and face were swollen, was Adam Pritzker.

This guy was beaten very badly, so he naturally wanted to get back on the field, but because of the problem of inviting his parents, he didn't dare to make a big deal anymore, and after swallowing his anger for three weeks, he saw that someone was looking for Li Xu to fight alone, so he made an appointment like this.

Of course, there is nothing to say, he was only a little shorter than Li Xu at that time, but both his physique and skills were crushed in all directions. Although Li Xu's fighting skills are the kung fu of a three-legged cat, it is still no problem to use it to deal with a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy, and he directly pressed his throat to the ground.

However, Adam was also very hard-hearted, and refused to admit defeat, and Li Xu couldn't help him, so he put him in again and again, until the two of them lost their strength and sat in the stadium and gasped.

"Come on...... Come on, ...... again Come on!" Adam, who was leaning against the wall, his school uniform and tie had been thrown away, and his shirt had been wet, he couldn't stand up, and he was still shouting loudly, as if he had been insulted.

And Li Xu, who still had the strength to sit, was obviously not gay, he directly gave him a middle finger, picked up his clothes and left directly, leaving Adam alone in the back laughing loudly, very proud.

At that time, Li Xu had such an idea in his heart, but when the other party ran over and took the initiative to apologize to him, even though it had been more than a month since that date, he still suddenly remembered it, and then thought this guy was very interesting.

Because Adam came to thank Li Xu's men for their mercy.

Just three days before he apologized, there was another fight at the school, and both parties were bloodied. Although he did not report to the police after that, he was still pressed by the school, but he also began to investigate and deal with all violations more strictly.

And after knowing about this, Adam found out that Li Xu was indeed merciful to his subordinates, especially when he fought for the first time, so he came over directly to apologize.

Well, it's a straightforward guy, Li Xu generously forgave him. After that, the relationship between the two slowly became harmonious, and after exchanging some information, it was discovered that after Adam was provoked and provoked by someone to block him in the first place, they became friends.

However, not every opponent can become friends, just like the Lauren Hewlett mentioned above, the child at the helm of the Hewlett-Packard Group, has always looked down on Li Xu, has an inexplicable sense of superiority, has never fought - maybe dare not - but always sneered at the opportunity to show his existence.

It's just that after the school began to strictly investigate and punish violations, and after 74 years, Li Xu quickly earned a million in this life, and the number of people who provoked him began to decrease. There are many famous children in Oakland High School, but how many of them can earn a million net worth at the age of 12?

By the end of 75 years, Li Xu had hit the first 10 million in his life, and no one was going to mess with him, whether it was a fight or a mouthpiece. Not to mention anything else, a sentence of "If you have the ability, you don't want to play the game I developed" is enough to choke people stunned, for these fifteen or sixteen-year-old young people, the lethality of this sentence is still full.

"Speaking of which, after this deal, you should have a net worth of 1 billion, right?" Adam asked again.

"How is it possible, 10 times the profit is only 50 million, and you still have to pay taxes. However, if Apple goes public at the end of the year, it may be able to have this number. Li Xu said half-truthfully.

"Well, watch you become a millionaire, a multimillionaire, a billionaire...... I feel like I've lost my life!" Adam said in an exaggerated tone.

There is no jealousy, only a deep envy, how do you say that? When you surpass them a little, they will be jealous of you, when you surpass them a lot, they will envy you.

"You've got a long life to go, Adam. Li Xu snorted.

"Hi Add, you're back. Just then, another man came in and greeted him, and sat down behind Adam.

This is also a Eurasian mixed-race, but compared to Li Xu, he is obviously much more restrained, and the characteristics of Asian Americans are very obvious.

"yes, how are the past few days, Sko?" Li Xu asked with a smile, his tone was more casual than Adam's.

"It's nothing, Adam takes care of me," the other man sighed, "I'm just worrying about which college to go to." ”

"Didn't Mr. Fujita want you to go to Stanford?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows.

"But I want to go to the East Coast, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, whatever, even New York University, I want to ...... I wanted a change of environment," says Scott Fujita, "and I didn't want to be on the West Coast all the time. ”

"Not bad idea, I don't think you have a problem going to the East Coast with your grades. Li Xu patted him on the shoulder, then turned to Adam, "Speaking of which, Adam?"

"Stanford, the Graduate School of Business, don't have to run. Adam shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically, "What about you, Add, didn't you say ...... last time?"

"Don't even think about it. Li Xu immediately waved his hand and sighed, "Even if I deliberately scored zero on the SAT test, my father and grandfather would kick me into Harvard." ”

"Ha, do you want me to give you a comforting hug?" Adam immediately opened his hands exaggeratedly.

"Get out!" Li Xu held up a finger.

"I don't think it's a big deal to go to college," Scott said cautiously, "College is definitely easier than high school, as long as you have enough credits, graduation is not a problem." ”

From elementary school, it is more and more tense every year, and the last two years of high school are the most intense, but when I enter university, I immediately relax, which is the case in most countries in the world that value education.

It's just that in Europe and the United States, only private schools are like this, and public schools are places that promote happy education.

Uniform uniforms, semi-closed life in the collective, various activities to promote a sense of honor and responsibility, and heavy homework that cannot be completed without staying up late, these college entrance examination processes after 20 years on the Pacific side can be seen everywhere in private schools on the Pacific side, and knowledge is not something that can be learned casually and happily.

Of course, the current American public schools are not so bad, and anti-intellectualism has already shown its head, but it has not yet spread, because ...... Hehe, it's not time yet.

There are not so many rules and regulations in universities, and those who have climbed up from the bottom, hoping to change their fate through college, and students who want to learn more knowledge, will still study seriously. But for most of the famous children, it is a place to make friends and weave connections for future development, so they shuttle from party to party, meet people who are useful to them in eating, drinking and merrymaking, as long as the credits are enough to graduate.

If a child of a famous family can't even find a foil to do things after graduating from college, he runs into walls everywhere, he can't get into the bank if he works in finance, he doesn't know how to elect in politics, and he can't attract investment if he makes movies, he is either a fool or a pseudonym.

The real children of famous families will never start from scratch, Gates has his mother to help pull the list, and Buffett also has the shadow of his parents. Li Xu himself is also an excellent example, if it weren't for the support of his parents and grandfather, no matter how many good ideas there are, can he be transformed into such a net worth at this age?

So Scott is right, it's okay to go to college, as long as you pay close attention to your credits and graduate, you don't have to care about anything else, I believe my father and grandfather mean the same thing.

"Scott, why don't you come to Harvard. Li Xu suddenly said, "Adam will definitely go to Stanford, and if you come to Harvard, I will have an acquaintance." ”

"Is that okay?" Scott Fujita looked up, his eyes shining.

"Your grades are better than mine, and it shouldn't be difficult to get a letter of recommendation. Li Xu smiled.

"That'...... Thank you then, Add. Scott nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Li Xu also nodded in his heart, if Adam Pritzker is his friend, then Scott Fujita is his follower. His father, a second-generation Japanese immigrant, took an American girl as his wife, and is said to have lived in a concentration camp as a child, and when he came out, he loved the United States even more.

Therefore, it is really the nature of the Japanese to shake m.
