Wait, how can Lao Tzu be half Japanese in this life, wouldn't he scold himself if he said this? Li Xu suddenly thought of this, and then felt unhappy in his heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's a pity that it's not happy, but the facts can't be changed, so you can only keep it in your heart.

"Good guys, you all went to Harvard, and it was too much to leave me alone on the West Coast. Adam just rightly ran out and interjected.

"You can come to Harvard, too. Li Xu said with a smile.

"Forget it, the old man will kill me. Adam pouted, then sighed, "It's a shame, I was expecting to run for student council president at Stanford." ”

"It doesn't matter, if you need it, I'll just make a phone call, and as soon as I turn 18, I'll be able to officially own my own investment holding company. Li Xu said immediately.

"I'm kidding," Adam laughed, "Stanford's student council president isn't as easy to run as Oakland's student council president." Besides, I can't rely on you, I'll have to try something else, right?"

"Call me when you need it. Li Xu was not reluctant.

Since the 9th grade, Adam has served as the student council president of Oakland Middle School every year, as for the reason, in addition to his own good ability, Li Xu's large sponsorship has also played a big role.

I can't say how important the president of the student union in the United States is, but it's not right to say that it's not important. All kinds of social gatherings and other things must be arranged through the student union, and the conflicts and problems between students and the school also need to be communicated by the student union.

The power of the president of the student council is there, it depends on how you use it, some people can use ten points of power, and some people can use one point of power for ten points.

Li Xu is not interested in the president of the student union, but it does not mean that he will be happy to see the president of the student union fall into the hands of those who look at him unpleasantly.

Therefore, when Adam was in the 9th grade, when he intended to run for the president of the student union, Li Xu immediately expressed his support and took 100,000 yuan to support his candidacy.

Originally, he planned to take 1 million, but if he wanted to use a huge amount of money at his age, he had to say hello to his family first, and after his father knew his calculations, he called back without the slightest hesitation.

"Have you done your research, have you made a plan, have you consulted a lawyer, do you have a clear goal for spending money, do you know what to avoid?" his father asked him.

Well, honestly do surveys and plans, honestly reduce the funds by 10 times.

The real famous and wealthy will not suppress their children from spending money, don't look at David Rockefeller said in his autobiography that when he was ten years old, he only had $1 a week in pocket money, and how to spend it had to keep accounts.

In the 20s, 1 US dollar was only 13 or 4 US dollars 90 years later, which is only about 80 yuan when converted into RMB, and more than 300 pocket money a month seems to be very little.

However, what I want to say here is that this is pure pocket money, in short, his food, clothing, housing and transportation are not among them, and what can be the pastime and entertainment of the 20s? Toys and toys are given away.

Therefore, the focus is not on the amount of pocket money, the focus is on spending money to keep accounts. In other words, what parents really want to suppress is their children's aimless spending.

If children can spend money wisely, they will not only not object, but will also be very encouraging.

Therefore, things like children working to earn pocket money after they go to high school will only happen to the middle class, and the traditional wealthy families with real background will never do this.

If you don't cultivate your child's intuitive understanding of the use of capital from an early age, and don't cultivate his understanding of the relationship between pay, gain and cost from an early age, do you want him to give up the family business to make movies?

The reason why Li Xu was able to borrow $5,000 from his parents to develop the snake was that this thing was relatively simple, and it looked like that, that is, he had drawn up a contract - although it certainly had no legal effect - if there was a loss, he had to listen to his family honestly, develop according to the route planned for him by his parents, and not violate it, etc.

Therefore, the right to speak needs to be fought for little by little, born in this kind of family, thinking that you can do whatever you want, it is all a pipe dream.

Fortunately, although Li Xu's parents are both famous in this life, they are each strong in their own way, and they can achieve a balance, so that he has a loophole to exploit. If you are born in a single-parent family with tens of millions of assets, you can't go up or down, especially a single-parent family with a strong mother...... Congratulations, please do it again.

Well, from this point of view, the impression left by the strong mother in this life on Li Xu is much stronger than that of his father, who likes to use spring breeze and rain.

Back to the topic, under his father's guidance, Li Xu spent the $100,000 very cleverly and efficiently, and it was the most stupid to give the money directly, not to mention that there were so many rules and regulations - whether he was running for the president of the student union or the president.

But as I said before, when there must be rules, capital prefers detailed rules, because the sand between the fingers can always leak down.

If nothing else, it is true that you can accept limited funds to run for the presidency of the student council, but you can do volunteer work, you can sell charity, and you can do good deeds. Volunteers do a good job, it's okay for people to help you publicize a few times, it's also possible for this voice to come to the ears of reporters, and then the school newspaper reprints it, and the reputation rises, isn't it?

Of course, as mentioned earlier, Adam's ability to be the president of the student council for four consecutive years is also an important factor.

There are always people who feel that if you can get to the top by spending money, the guy on the top must be an incompetent person, as if you can become famous by sleeping with you in the entertainment industry. But I don't know that anything can be done, the factors are multifaceted, but there are big and small, sometimes sufficient conditions are necessary conditions, sometimes necessary conditions are sufficient conditions, and sometimes these conditions are useless.

I don't know how to analyze specific things, and I don't understand the replacement of the necessary conditions, and in the end it's just a fateful quest.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, now it's time for class. As the class bell rang, an old man in his fifties walked in, he glanced at Li Xu, and didn't say much.

Little Edward Lee's name is already well-known in Oakland High School, so as long as he doesn't drop his homework, doesn't fail a test, and usually participates in major school events to show respect, it's not very important that he is not in his seat during class.

Since the class was over, Li Xu didn't talk to Adam anymore, but listened attentively, and looked at the textbook in his hand by the way.

High school is not as good as elementary school, and you can handle the past casually with that little thing in elementary school, and you can still maintain the top few grades. Junior high school is okay, but when he reaches high school, especially the courses he attends, they are no worse than the key high schools in his previous life, and he has to be distracted to pay attention to his own things, and it is certain that his homework will decline.

However, now that he has the usual achievements to lay the foundation, shorting silver also proves his vision, coupled with the conversation with his grandfather about mortgage asset securitization, basically the SAT and ACT can pass, and applying to Harvard is not a problem.

And these can be made up for by the super memory after rebirth, such as, well, that's right, the sea of questions tactics.

School life is actually quite boring, and after class in the afternoon, Li Xuwan declined Adam's invitation to go to a party with him, and returned to his dorm room with Scott.

"Thank you, Scott, for the dorm thanks to you when I was away. Li Xu, who was sitting on the sofa, said to Scott.

The dormitory is generally for two people, Li Xu and Scott share the dormitory, although they are not there for several days, but the room is very clean, whether it is Scott's or Li Xu's.

"It's just cleaning, you won't be away for long anyway. Scott poured him a glass of water.

"That's right," Li Xu shrugged, "Okay, I'll take care of tomorrow's hygiene." ”

"No, I can ...... it," Scott wanted to read.

"Hey, don't worry so much, I'm going to leave in a few days anyway, and there's been a lot going on lately. Li Xu waved his hand, stood up again, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, if you make up your mind to go to Harvard, I will help you." ”

"Thanks, Add. Scott said as he went into the room and changed his clothes, "I'm going for a run, do I need to bring you dinner when I get back?"

"No, I'll go to the restaurant myself. Li Xu shook his head, waited for Scott to leave, sat back down, and then let out a long breath. It's not that easy to get the other party into Harvard, but there is always a way, and my father doesn't mind having a follower himself.

As mentioned earlier, mixed-race people are more vulnerable to exclusion and discrimination because neither side is pleasing to either side, especially in a city with a large Asian population like San Francisco.

Not to mention that the anti-racial discrimination has not completely occupied the politically correct position now, even if it is 20 years from now, even if it cannot be said in words, the glass ceiling that should exist is also indispensable.

It stands to reason that vulnerable groups should huddle together for warmth, but the problem is that immigrants from several Asian countries are constantly entangled with each other, and it is difficult for them to unite as Asians, let alone Asian-Americans.

In addition, although Oakland High School is famous, the students are not all composed of famous children, and there are many middle-class students, so when the class factor is added, a piece of loose sand is really a piece of loose sand.

Because of this, when Li Xu, an outlier, came out, although many people wanted to hug him close to his thighs, only Scott Fujita was the only one who really hugged him.

Without him, his son, Keizo Fujita, worked for Bank of America, Inc., and Li Xu's grandfather held a position on the board of directors of Bank of America.

In addition, his grandfather Fujita Tsuyoshi claimed that his ancestor was a retainer of the Kujo family, and when Li Xu went to their house, he almost asked his son and grandson to make a big gift.

Li Xu stopped the other party, but there are such two layers of relationship, and Scott himself is also very good at looking at people, so he often takes care of one or two. If it's worth cultivating, he doesn't mind spending more effort, he always has to have a few henchmen of his own, right?

The only regret is that before Scott Fujita's grandfather died, Li Xu didn't have the opportunity to ask him if he had participated in the Japanese invasion of China, whether he had a robot nickname, whether he had a fight with Chen Zhen and anything like that.
