Chapter 101: The American Stock God

There is a more ~~ asking for pink ~~

Gu Changqing arrived at Rock High School in mid-August, and Rock High School has not officially opened. There aren't many students in the school yet. Most of the students here are from wealthy families and have taken advantage of the summer vacation to travel, and only some of the students in the school have just returned from traveling, or foreign students, or come to the school early like Gu Changqing.

The school now has English classes for foreign students to help them master the language. Gu Changqing began to study in this class during this time.

The next day, Gu Changqing got up early in the morning, and as soon as he came out of the room, he saw a blonde, blue-eyed, hot, and fashionably dressed girl walking out of the opposite room. ”

Gu Changqing looked at her and saw that she had heavy makeup painted on her face, and she couldn't tell how old she was, and she didn't have her existence in her memory.

"Hello, I'm Helen, nice to meet you. I just arrived yesterday. Gu Changqing said with a smile.

Trish looked at her and raised her dark golden eyebrows, "You're Japanese, right?" ”

"No, I'm Chinese"

"Chinese?" Trish pursed her lips exaggeratedly and shrugged her shoulders again, "Then your family must be a very wealthy family in China."

Gu Changqing nodded unceremoniously: "It's relatively wealthy, but in China, it's not surprising." ”

Cui Xi's eyes rolled, and she looked at Gu Changqing's outfit in a strange way, seeing that the clothes she was wearing and the bags she was carrying were all from the latest season of Chanel, she pouted again, and then looked at her and said, "My parents both work in the World Trade Center and hold manager-level positions in XX Investment Company" Very proud.

Gu Changqing didn't understand what the manager-level position of the World Trade Center was, and it was estimated that the salary for a year was quite a lot, otherwise the other party would not have this expression.

Cui Xi saw that Gu Changqing didn't react at all after hearing his introduction, and couldn't help but be a little bored, and turned to leave.

Gu Changqing looked at her plump back, and had a strange feeling in his heart, and it took a while to react.

Isn't the World Trade Center the World Trade Center that was destroyed in the 911 incident?

No wonder it sounds so familiar

After the 911 incident, it had a great impact, and there were tracking reports all over the world, during that time, every TV station in China would broadcast this news as soon as the TV was turned on, and it was difficult for people not to know, even if Gu Changqing didn't care about current affairs at all, he knew about this incident very well.

The World Trade Center was destroyed in the incident, and many people died.

A tragedy.

But what if she knew? She couldn't even save the lives of Uncle Wen and Mother Rong, how could she save so many lives?

Gu Changqing sighed, walked downstairs, and met a black girl again, Gu Changqing knew her, her name was Manli, but she seemed to be in a hurry, so she just hurriedly said hello to Gu Changqing and left the dormitory.

Breakfast was served in the school cafeteria with the Greens and Dawsons. The school has a rule that teachers and students in the same dormitory should be together, including their parents and children, just like a big family.

Because the students in the dormitory did not arrive, Mr. Green introduced Gu Changqing to the Dawson family and four other female students.

Mr. Dawson was a bearded man in his thirties, his wife had curly brown hair, and her smile was very wrinkled, Gu Changqing knew that she was only in her early thirties, but she looked like she was in her forties. But their children are very cute, two little boys, one is eight years old and the other is five years old, they all have the same brown curly hair, and the big one has freckles on his face, which reminds Gu Changqing of the male protagonist who is in charge of the little ghost.

Mr. Green's is a girl, twelve years old, with short ear-length hair, very beautiful blue eyes, like the color of the sky, and skin as white as milk, which is the best age for Western girls.

Mr. Green smiled and said to Gu Changqing: "Helen, you look about the same age as my daughter."

It's true that girls in the West look older than they really are.

Gu Changqing smiled.

Of the other four students, one is Tri-hee, and one of the other three is a Korean girl named Mary. Kim, one grade higher than Gu Changqing, has single eyelids and a disc face, which is very typical of South Korea's appearance before plastic surgery. After Mr. Green introduced Gu Changqing as a Chinese, she kept looking at her curiously.

The other two are Americans, one is fatter and has freckles, her name is Jenny, and the other is supposed to be a mix of black and white, with brown skin and black hair, and she is very beautiful. Her name is Paige.

Everyone greeted each other and behaved very friendly.

Breakfast was sandwiches, eggs and milk, and Gu Changqing was also used to eating them. Everyone chatted happily, among which Tricy was the most lively, happily showing off where she had traveled during the summer vacation, and how much money she had spent. Kim listened with relish, Jenny was unimpressed, and Paige and Mr. Dawson were discussing an academic issue.

When they discussed, they spoke very quickly and had a lot of professional terms, and Gu Changqing had a hard time listening.

"Are you still used to it?" Mr. Green, who was opposite, asked her suddenly, speaking very slowly, apparently to take care of her.

Gu Changqing smiled: "Fortunately, I am very adaptable"

"Very well, I hope you can enjoy your stay here." Mr. Green praised, smiling gently, "In our view, school is not only a place to teach, but also a place for students to live, and we want our students to have fun, energy, adventure and excitement every day."

"I'm looking forward to it." Gu Changqing smiled.

"Communicate more with your classmates, let everyone know you, don't be afraid, and soon you will find out that they are all very lovely people."

"Yes."

Gu Changqing chatted with Mr. Green slowly, and occasionally his daughter interjected a sentence or two, and the atmosphere at breakfast was always very pleasant.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own thing.

Gu Changqing had something very important to do, she called for a taxi to go to Princeton Town.

In fact, she can drive, but the U.S. Constitution stipulates that you must be 16 years old to have a driver's license, so she can't own her own car yet.

Situated between New York and Philadelphia, Princeton is a rural city with a distinctiveness. Located in the Delaware Plains of southwest New Jersey, the town covers an area of about 7 square kilometers, bordered by Lake Carnegie to the east and the Delaware River to the west. Princeton's scenery is elegant, surrounded by greenery, grassy greenery, and the crystal clear river that flows quietly around the town; Princeton has a population of about 30,000, and most of its citizens are well-off; The aristocratic atmosphere shrouded in a strong cultural atmosphere made Princeton a favored place to live for the upper class of Americans.

Gu Changqing is very familiar with Princeton, she used to play here with American friends, and she once had a very sweet time here, although everything was an illusion......

Gu Changqing found a real estate agency company and rented a room in a beautiful apartment, about 80 square meters, one bedroom and one living room, with kitchen and bathroom, complete facilities, sound security, you can live in it when you move in, and the monthly rent is 2,000 US dollars.

This will be her secret base for the next four years, a place where she can avoid everyone's eyes, study, work and even relax. And it's also close to Princeton University, so she can go to audit when she has time.

When she came out of the apartment and passed by a convenience store, Gu Changqing thought about it, walked in, bought paper, pens and envelopes, and wrote on the paper in English, "On September 11, there will be a terrorist organization hijacking a plane to attack the World Trade Tower, please be vigilant as soon as possible." ”

She wrote the address of the White House on the envelope, but did not write a return address, for fear that someone would find out, and if they did, they would not think that she was born again, but that they would think that she had something to do with a terrorist organization. She then went to the Princeton Ground post office and sent the letter.

Whether it's useful or not, let's do our best, after all, there are so many lives. Otherwise, she would have been a little unhappy when she saw the tragedy happen.

When she returned to school again, it was already afternoon, and back in the dormitory, Mr. Green approached her and asked her why she hadn't had lunch with them. Gu Changqing told a little lie, saying that he got lost while wandering around the school, didn't meet anyone, and just came back. Mr. Green didn't suspect it, but only cared if she had lunch, and if not, she could go to the dining room again. Gu Changqing smiled and thanked him for his kindness.

In the following days, Gu Changqing began to attend classes in English classes, and she received a storage box where she could put her things and textbooks. There are ten students in the English class, only one is Chinese, and the rest are Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Korean, Indian, etc., all of whom are broken in English. The teacher is an American man in his thirties, very handsome, very kind, very patient, everyone sits in a circle, no matter what they say, they can only use English, and everyone corrects mistakes together. Because everyone has a little basic knowledge of English, this kind of training allows everyone to improve their language skills in a short period of time.

She gradually became familiar with the other girls in the dormitory. Most of these girls are fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest is only seventeen years old, but everyone doesn't seem to be familiar with China, especially the Korean girl, who once asked her if she had ever eaten an apple, which made Gu Changqing angry and funny.

During this period, everyone went to New York together, and Gu Changqing took a lot of photos at the World Trade Center in New York, which can be regarded as nostalgia.

When shopping, Gu Changqing bought a skirt for $10,000 in a famous store without blinking, and the girls around him widened their eyes and secretly said to themselves, you must know that the average middle class in the United States has an annual income of between $50,000 and $250,000, and the families of these girls are only slightly wealthy in the middle class, and it is difficult to buy a skirt with $10,000 in one breath no matter how much you spend, and it may be possible to pay in installments...... Since then, everyone has never dared to underestimate her.

September was soon ushered in.

The students returned to school one after another, and the school suddenly became lively, full of laughter and vitality.

At the beginning of the school year, I began to choose complex courses, the selection of courses with the help of student advisors to help guide, there are compulsory courses and elective courses, the compulsory courses include English, mathematics, sociology, natural science, history, foreign languages, etc., each age is a little different, the electives are diverse, there are sports, science, music, art, and even cooking, driving, agriculture, mythology, about Zeus, the goddess of victory, etc. Very interesting.

After the course selection, there was the opening ceremony, and there were about 300 students in the school, and the teacher-student ratio was 8 to 1, all of them standing on the playground. The opening ceremony is not as long and tedious as expected. The Principal's brief welcome speech was followed by a series of information: classroom arrangements, leave rules, daily schedules, even minor details such as the location of the toilets, and finally the "escape instructions", which are most important to the school.

That's all for the first day of school.

The next day, classes officially began

High school in the United States is divided into four grades, 9 to 12, 9 years is equivalent to the third year of junior high school in China, there is no concept of class, the class is to go to the teacher's classroom to class, therefore, in a classroom, there may be 9th grade students, there may be 12th grade students. The teacher's task is to wait for the students to come to class in the classroom, and leave after the class, regardless of management.

Americans' textbooks do not need to be purchased, they can be borrowed directly from the classroom during class and returned at the end of the semester. The class schedule is reasonable, only 169 days a year, most of the rest of the days are holidays or statutory holidays, these 169 days are divided into A day and B day, each with 4 courses, alternately, so a semester is also 8 courses, if you want to be lazy, you can also choose a self-study class or something to fill the number.

However, the textbook is a bit scary, with more than 1,000 pages in each subject, and even geometry, which has the least number of words, is 1,280 pages. Like a sea of words, Gu Changqing was secretly speechless.

On this day, the first class was English, and Gu Changqing came to the classroom. There were more than a dozen students in the classroom, the desks and chairs were arranged in an oval, and after Gu Changqing sat down in one position, he turned his head to greet a boy next to him who was seriously looking at the laptop

"Hello, I'm Helen."

The boy turned around, glanced at Gu Changqing, and hurriedly said, "I'm Mike. Warren Buffett. After saying that, he turned back to stare at the screen.

It's as if nothing is as important as the information on the screen.

Gu Changqing looked at him, this was a Caucasian man, with brown hair, slightly fat, with a pair of big black-framed eyes, and his appearance was not good. She was curious to see what he was so fascinated by, so she leaned over to take a look, only to see that the screen was full of curves, like the direction of the stock market or something.

"Are you trading stocks?"

Mike showed a little interest at this point, and he turned around, "Do you also speculate in stocks?" ”

Gu Changqing shook his head, "I don't understand this. ”

Mike seemed disappointed and turned back to ignore her.

Gu Changqing felt bored, pulled back and looked at the textbook in front of him. After reading a few pages, I found that this was still a book of heaven for her, although she spoke well, but writing and reading were not good, Gu Changqing took out the English-Chinese dictionary he brought, and all the unfamiliar words turned to it.

At this time, she only felt that her eyes were dark, and when she looked up, she saw two girls walking to Mike's side, and when she saw them, Gu Changqing immediately smiled.

These two girls, one is named Nana, the other is called Catherine, they are both American girls, their families are very wealthy, the two are very luxurious, very losers, very arrogant, in the previous life, Gu Changqing was often with them, and tried to skip school and go out to play all day long, so that there was no progress in academics at all.

Nana and Catherine didn't pay attention to Gu Changqing, they walked to Mike's desk, Nana reached out and snapped Mike's computer shut, Mike was disturbed, stood up suddenly, and was not angry, "What are you doing?" ”

Catherine sneered: "Mike, although your surname is Buffett, do you think you are really Buffett?" I only know how to speculate in stocks all day long, you look at you poor and sour, don't come to Locke to go to school if you don't have money, I hate to see you crazy at the computer, you can't pay the tuition, you go to a public middle school, you don't need money. ”

Nana laughed next to her, and some of the other students joined in the heckling, while others did not make a sound.

"Mike, why don't you tell me how much money you need, I'll give it to you, lest you think about making money by trading stocks every day. It's just that the vision is not good, only lose and not earn"

The two taunted him before turning away to get to the opposite of him, and Catherine raised her middle finger at him

Mike seemed angry and clenched his fists, but after a while, he released his fists again, sat down, and turned the computer back on.

Gu Changqing estimated that he might not have a good family background, so he was desperately trying to make money by speculating in stocks in order to study here, but it seemed that his income was not ideal, and seeing that he was a big man who was so humiliated by two girls and could only swallow his anger, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him.

She bent down, picked up a pen from the ground, and handed it to him, "Your pen." ”

Mike glanced at her and took the pen, "Thank you." "The face is still not good.

"Are you alright?" Gu Changqing asked with concern, "You don't have to care about their words, just do what you want to do." ”

Mike seemed to sense her kindness, and looked at her again, his face softened slightly, "Thank you, I helped Catherine lose her pocket money for three months of stock trading, so she taunted me at every opportunity." ”

No wonder......

"The stock market is originally a profit and a loss, she sees that I make money and asks me to help her speculate, and if she loses, she scolds me, this woman really doesn't want to be like her."

He turned around, restarted the machine, sighed again, and was preoccupied, "But in the past few months, the stock market has been sluggish, and I can't make money."

Gu Changqing didn't know much about stocks, not to mention the complex and diverse U.S. stock market, and he didn't know what to say for a while. She thought for a moment and asked, "Who is Warren Buffett they were talking about just now?" ”

Mike turned his head and looked at her with wide eyes, as if shocked, "You don't even know Buffett?" ”

"Should I know?" Gu Changqing was embarrassed.

"Warren Buffett is a god in the stock world" Mike Fu lifted the frame, his eyes sparkled, full of worship, "He became a rich man completely by speculating in stocks, no one has his precise vision and analytical ability for stocks, I dare to conclude that one day, his wealth will surpass Bill Gates"

Bill Gates Gu Changqing knows, so it seems that this Buffett is really amazing

"So I'm surprised you didn't know about Warren Buffett"

Gu Changqing laughed dryly

Just then, the teacher walked in.

The atmosphere in the class is very lively, the teacher encourages the students to express their opinions, the students do not have to raise their hands, and even interject at will, sometimes arguing with the teacher on a problem.

It looks very lively, but Gu Changqing is all in the clouds, everyone's speed of speech is very fast, and they will not settle because there are foreign students, and there are many unfamiliar terms, sometimes I can't understand what they mean at all.

Fortunately, Gu Changqing was prepared, she brought a small tape recorder and recorded everyone's words to prepare for the evening, and carefully analyzed the taste.

There is a 5-minute break after one class, just enough to go to the bathroom, and the second class is sociology.

At noon, I still had dinner with the people in the dormitory, and I took another math class in the afternoon, this class was better, the content of the learning was very simple, about the level of the first and second years of junior high school, Gu Changqing could handle it, but she was not in a hurry to express herself.

Afternoon... After the bell, it is a club activity. Gu Changqing reported to the tennis club, she already has a certain level of tennis in China, and she knows that if her grades are not good, but she has special performances in other aspects, it will be of great help to the university entrance examination in the future.

In the past few years, no matter how hard she works and how well she studies, it is impossible to come up with excellent results, but she really wants to apply for a university like Princeton, and she has to work hard in other aspects

When I went to the tennis court and saw a lot of acquaintances, Nana and Catherine were naturally in the tennis club, but I didn't expect Mike and Trish to be there. There were also a few seniors, and Mike sat on the side, still holding his computer.

After greeting everyone and introducing himself, Gu Changqing went to Mike's side and said, "You look at the computer here and be careful to break the computer."

Mike looked up and saw that it was her, and smiled: "I know it too, but I feel uncomfortable if I don't look at it for a while."

"Hey the Chinese," Catherine suddenly shouted.

Gu Changqing stood up and looked at her, frowning slightly: "I have a name, please call me by my name." ”

Catherine's face sank at once

Mike whispered to her, "Her father is a school trustee, don't offend her too much"

Over there, Tricy walked up to Catherine and looked at Gu Changqing whispering something to her, perhaps telling her that Gu Changqing's origin was not simple. At this time, Tracey was not arrogant in front of Catherine.

Catherine listened to Trixi's words, glanced at Gu Changqing, and her face softened slightly, "Helen, I kindly remind you, don't get too close to Mike's poor sour ghost, be careful that he tricks you into investing, and then loses all your money"

Mike got angry and shouted: "Catherine, don't talk nonsense, when did I cheat you into investing, you asked me to help you speculate in stocks"

Catherine's eyes widened, "But it's always true that you lost all my money, you don't have that ability, don't promise me, you liar"
