Chapter 11: Christmas Eve
Tang Bao didn't expect that Miller would agree to such harsh conditions so quickly, once Citi wanted to terminate the investment entrustment in advance, but it would lose a lot of money, and the agreement did not cover the automatic termination of the agreement after the investment loss, which means that once the investment loss, Citi only had two choices, one was to watch Tang Bao continue to invest and lose money, and the other was to cut the meat and redeem it in advance.
If you lose money, you will be completely borne by Citigroup and you can't stop the loss, and if you make money, you have to pay a large amount of investment income commission to Phoenix Investment Group.
No matter from which point of view, it is a good and harmless thing for Phoenix Investment Group!
Of course.
Tang Bao used this money to invest, and with his memory of the trend of economic development, even if he invested in a few potential stocks with his eyes closed, it was impossible to lose money.
Miller is not a simple person, he clearly knows that this investment agreement is very unfavorable to Citi, but he still agrees without changing his face, and he has courage and courage. Where did he get his confidence to make a judgment by tracking the capital movements of Phoenix Investment Group for half a year? Tang Bao felt a little puzzled, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out the key to the problem, but Tang Bao didn't care, anyway, this investment entrustment agreement was beneficial to him, and Citigroup and Miller couldn't play any tricks.
……
A few days before the Christmas break, Tang Bao mailed out the prepared Columbia University application materials, and then ushered in the holidays. Suddenly, the company went to the empty building, Tang Bao felt a little uncomfortable, and thought silently, everyone went home to spend Christmas Eve with their families, and he was alone. At this time, I couldn't help but think of the "Aunt Qing" who was a little fierce to him but took great care of him, and suddenly made a decision in my heart.
When he came to the mall, Tang Bao directly picked out a crystal bracelet, which was not expensive, but it was very suitable.
"Aunt Qing......"
"Ah, little treasure...... Where's your little bastard? Xu Qing was pleasantly surprised when she saw Mr. Tang Bao, and then scolded, not polite at all.
scolded with ruthlessness, in fact, she was very happy to see Tang Bao come back, she had frequent contact with Tang Bao's aunt, and heard that Tang Bao's unnatural results were enough to qualify for applying to famous American universities such as Havard and Yale, they were very shocked, but also happy. "By the way, your grandfather has already called three times, and you are really, if you don't call me, why don't you even go to China to make a phone call to report your safety." There hasn't been news for months, and you don't know how anxious your family is. ”
“……”
Tang Bao nodded helplessly, indicating that he understood. When he called home, he was unwilling, and he was very reluctant to answer the old man's call last time. The majesty of the superior that the old man has cultivated over the years is not blown, no matter what the children of the Tang family look like outside, they are as docile as a cat in front of the old man.
Tang Bao is no exception!
The old man is his own grandfather, and everyone says that they are intergenerational, but a big family like them really can't feel the word "pro".
"By the way, Aunt Qing, this is for you." Tang Bao took out the prepared gift and changed the topic.
"Ah, this is for me?"
Xu Qing asked in surprise.
"Well, a Christmas present for you." Tang Bao nodded. In Xu Qing's place, Tang Bao felt that he was not so lonely, and he could clearly feel a kind of warmth and comfort like mother's love, he liked this feeling very much, and cherished and enjoyed it very much.
"Thank you!"
Xu Qing said with a smile, receiving the gift, it seemed that he was in a good mood, and he no longer counted Tang Bao. "By the way, the meaning of Mr. Tang's call may be to talk about choosing a college major, he didn't mention it, but he conveyed it through your little aunt, hoping that you will enter Harvard University. The next year's college application deadline is approaching, how many colleges have you applied to? ”
"One."
"What? Isn't it too risky for you to apply to only one institution, and American universities do not limit the number of applications, so hurry up and apply to a few more, just in case. This thing can't be sloppy, in case of an accident, it's too late to regret it, and then your little aunt will have to blame me to death. Hearing that Tang Bao had only applied to one university, Xu Qing suddenly became anxious.
"I know, the deadline is still a month, and when I have time, I will pick a few more universities to submit application materials." Tang Bao compromised.
In fact.
The key is that the two design drawings attached to his application materials, although they are both small architectural design drawings, are the proud works of his previous life, and they are recognized and respected by many architectural design masters in the world.
There is no grandmaster-level level, at least it is a master-level.
It is no exaggeration to say that with those two architectural works, Columbia University has no reason to turn him away.
Past.
Tang Bao has made high achievements in three aspects, architectural design, computer and espionage, especially in the field of architectural design, which can be regarded as a grandmaster in the field of architectural design, standing firmly at the top of the world.
This time, Tang Bao continued to apply for the architectural design major, of course, not to continue his studies, but to spend his time more freely. The courses of famous universities in the United States are very urgent, and students need to spend a lot of time preparing for the courses...... By choosing the architectural design he is best at, Tang Bao can easily ensure the successful completion of his studies, and even if he wants to, he can apply for early graduation without much problem.
So what's the use of him going to this university?
Useful, of course it works!
First of all, in the past few years, in the name of going to school, he can justifiably stay in the United States, he can do what he wants, and his company can also get better development in the United States. And it is not so convenient to return to China, at least because of the environment, he has very little room to play, and it is impossible to fly to whichever country he wants. In the 80s, if you want to go abroad, you not only have to have money, but also have to go through strict examination and approval.
Second.
New York is the world's financial center, and if Tang Bao wants to make achievements in the financial field, integrating into New York's Wall Street can help him achieve his wish better and faster. Columbia University is located in New York, adjacent to Wall Street, and has an inextricable relationship with Wall Street, and is one of the Ivy League universities.
At last.
Tang Bao wants to build his own business empire, because of the macro trend because of the memory advantage of decades, there is no need to worry too much, but he lacks knowledge of economic management and finance, and even knows nothing about some aspects, he has to make up for it, and Columbia University Business School is also ranked among the top in the United States, and various resources can meet his needs, Tang Bao plans to learn this content by himself here.
For all these reasons, Tang Bao decided to apply to Columbia University, and he applied for the architectural design he was best at as soon as he came up, which shows his determination to join Columbia University.
……
Soon it was Christmas Eve, and Tang Bao and Xu Qing also sat together like other American families eating roast turkey, chatting, and simply decorating the home. Although Tang Bao has lived for two lives, he doesn't understand this, he feels that there is no need to get it at all, they are not Americans, even if they want to follow the local customs, they don't need to be so deep in the play, isn't it good to eat a roast turkey? Tang Bao is a traditional Chinese in his bones, thinking that only the Spring Festival is his festival, and he has no special feelings about Christmas.
But.
Xu Qing didn't follow Tang Bao's intentions, so she dragged Tang Bao to decorate her home.
That's it.
Tang Bao was reborn and spent his first Christmas Eve, and it was also the most comfortable Christmas Eve he had spent in his two lives......
