Zippin is now known to Larry. Ellison came to him this time, and it wasn't just for the resort and the island.

Speaking of which, Ellison's Lanai Island is the sixth largest island in Hawaii, and there are indeed resort hotels on the island, which can be said to be a favorite place for some wealthy people. Vacationing here is actually quite enjoyable.

"You're really giving me trouble, and I'm a little embarrassed to refuse. But if you say yes, it really won't do me any good. It's just a little appearance fee, material fee, and it doesn't mean anything to me at all. Taking a sip of wine, Qi Ping said with a wry smile.

"Didn't you also help people set up a lot of projects to improve the air before, and Kate also said that a large part of the funds for your private helicopter were obtained by the extra money you earned during that time." Luo Yi pouted, but the arrogant little girl of the Qi Ping family just reached out and patted his mouth, which was too regrettable, and she couldn't get close to him.

"That's different, the projects that were arranged in the past were all exquisite, but they were only given to some wealthy families, resorts, tourism, and the like, and they didn't accept any money. You should also know that my personality is like that, and it can't have any conflict with my industry anyway. ”

Qi Ping's words really met with boos from his friends, think about Qi Ping's stinky virtues, but those industries that compete with him will never cooperate. In fact, many resorts or farms and ranches want to introduce some core technologies of fairyland forest farms, but no matter how high the price is, it can't make Qi Ping excited.

The brothers started joking again, in fact, Ellison didn't cause any trouble to Qi Ping at all this time. Because this matter is only a preliminary intention now. It's not that bothersome at all. And Qi Ping's side also has enough reasons to refuse. Because business is business. He and Ellison weren't really friends.

"Qi, you should know something. I'm an adult now, and I can't be an obedient kid all the time now. You know what I mean, I've been able to make some choices on my own now, and I shouldn't have to ask my family to help me with everything. The Detroit Tigers drafted me last year, but you told me I don't have to get into the Pro League so early, I need more progress and a foundation, and I don't even live just to make money earlier. ”

Joshua looked distressed. He's a little unhappy now.

"I understand, so I'm back on campus, back to USC, which you think is closer to home. But now the Pittsburgh Buccaneers are interested in me as well, and the news I get is that the signing fee is also very good. But I still didn't get support, and both Mark and Catherine wanted me to finish college and not just be a community college student like Kate. ”

Joshua's complaint is not unreasonable, he is the legendary 'special enrollment', sports special enrollment, because he played baseball well, so he got a scholarship to USC. This is a prestigious school, compared to Kate, which is just a community college, which is the difference between a book and a junior college. For Joshua's parents. Of course, I want to see the completion of my studies.

As for playing baseball and the like, Joshua has a good talent; But this kid is definitely not a super genius or anything like that. It's unlikely that he's going to be a superstar, but he still has some potential to be a good potential as a role player.

So that's where the problem comes, to join the professional federation now, which might make Joshua make some money, a lot of money, right now. But this may delay his future development, because he may be able to make a sum of money now, a sum of money that many people may not be able to earn in a lifetime.

However, this is not a one-shot deal, because his potential is not particularly good, and it may be difficult for him to stay in MLB for a long time. At this time, there will be an extra guarantee for completing your studies, and it is also a good way to stay in school for a few more years to lay a good foundation, not necessarily to enter the professional league early.

In fact, Joshua really has a lot of choices, because there is no financial pressure at home, so he doesn't have to invest in the professional league early to earn money to support his family like some slum students, and Joshua can polish his basic skills more in school.

In fact, Joshua did just that, and last year, the Detroit Tigers selected Joshua in the draft. Of course, the draft of the American professional baseball is still very particular, not that you have to go if you are selected; If you are not satisfied with the signing fee or the draft pick is not high, then you can refuse to report it and participate in the next draft.

Joshua was like that, he was only selected in the thirtieth round last year, and he was in the middle and back position; So if you don't go, you can't get any training if your position is not high, you don't have many opportunities to appear, and you don't pay attention to it, so it's better to stay in school for a year to polish your skills. Anyway, it's good to have a solid foundation, and you will get more opportunities to play in a college league like the NCAA.

"You know, once you sign and go to MLB, it's hard for you to go back to school. You know what I mean, maybe you can go back to school and get your diploma again, but you won't be a student anymore. And once you go to the professional league, you will have to face a lot of pressure, and no one will be so tolerant of you, because it means that you have completed your entry into society. ”

Qi Ping felt that this matter had to be explained to Joshua, and of course he knew that Joshua would definitely think of these things. And now Joshua is able to talk to him about these things because Joshua trusts him enough.

"I thought it through, and actually we all knew that if I went to MLB now, I went to play professional baseball. Maybe my career may not be going well, but who can guarantee that I won't be able to achieve something, maybe I can become a good player. And even if I can only stay in the league for a few short years, I can make millions, tens of millions of dollars in these years, and even if you don't introduce me to a job, my life can be guaranteed. ”

Well, it looks like Joshua really thinks bigger; He actually knows very well that there may be 50 young players in the draft every year who get the chance to enter MLB. But among those people, perhaps only those who are at the top of the list can stay in the league for long; The further back in the ranks, the more likely it is to become a meteor-like flash in the pan.

Since Joshua had already thought about these things, it also proved that he was indeed thinking far ahead, and it seemed that he was not just impulsive.

In fact, Qi Ping was also worried at first, worried that Joshua wanted to join the professional league early in order to make more money and achieve more fame. That kind of impulse is not necessarily a good thing, because such immaturity will make people feel worried, because once you get rich, it will make the young people's mentality unbalanced and so on.

But now it doesn't seem like there's a need to worry too much, Joshua has thought it through, and he's considered it more comprehensively. In this case, Zipin will still choose to support Joshua; It's a simple truth, because Joshua is no longer a teenager, he is now twenty years old, he is grown up and can make his own decisions.

In fact, Joshua also came to find a lobbyist, because now the family prefers him to join the professional league after completing four years of college. And now with the support of my brother-in-law, then this is a huge boost; Don't look at Qi Ping, who usually doesn't seem to have much status at home, but he still has a lot of say in some major matters.

Since Qi Ping is now moved by Joshua's words, then he will also support Joshua as much as possible; In fact, this matter is not so difficult to do, Joshua has no financial pressure, he can lay a good foundation before going to the alliance. But he doesn't need to worry about the future, even if he can't become a big star and make a lot of money in the league, he doesn't need to worry about his future job.

So now Joshua can join the professional league without any worries; He is now going to pursue his ideals, to improve his strength in the best leagues. Sometimes it's not necessarily the biggest achievement that is success, but being able to satisfy your heart's desire and enjoy the process is a kind of success.

Quite simply, because Joshua is not a billionaire, but he has a billionaire brother-in-law. He has no pressure at all, and he can pursue his ideals impulsively and willfully. In fact, people who are rich and well-connected can be very arrogant, and they can pursue their ideals frantically without worrying about the pressure of life.

"I'm still worried that we all know that there are too many good players in MLB and Joshua probably won't be the best player there. I hope he can hone his skills in the NCAA, and I hope he can learn more and earn a degree at USC, so that he will not be a person who only plays baseball. ”

Kate voiced her concerns, but she is now showing her support for Joshua. Because Kate can now see that Joshua wants to join the professional league, not for money or work, but to pursue his ideals.

Then this thing needs to be supported, because it is a good thing to have ideals, because pursuing ideals makes people feel happy and fulfilling. Now that Joshua is enjoying pursuing his ideals, then this matter should be fully supported.

Joshua's own choice, coupled with the fact that his family is now more and more supportive, then there is nothing to say about this matter! (To be continued......)
