America's Road to Fame

Chapter 10 Lecturer Erica

"William, if you think so, then I'm relieved. What do you want to study?" Tom said with a look of relief: "The better universities in New York are Columbia University and New York University. I suggest you go to New York University, where is your father's alma mater, he once donated to New York University, it will be more convenient for you to go there, and New York University is closer to home, it takes more than ten minutes to drive."

"Okay then, let's choose New York University."

In the United States, most of the prestigious schools are private schools, and donations from alumni are one of their main sources of income. In addition, the tuition fees are high.

The United States pursues elite education. If you want to enter a prestigious school, you must either have excellent grades and be able to get a scholarship; or your family has money and can spend money to study.

The donation culture of alumni to their alma mater is very prevalent here. On the one hand, those who graduated from prestigious schools are more likely to succeed through alumni resources, and after they succeed, they will also thank their alma mater and give back; Donating can also make it easier for your offspring to get admission to your alma mater.

If ordinary people do not have scholarships, it is difficult to afford the high tuition fees of those prestigious schools. Many people can only pay off their college loans more than ten years after graduation. The high tuition fees of these prestigious schools can be seen.

"Then what are you going to learn?" Tom continued to ask.

"Economics, I hope to study those economic theories systematically and gain a deeper understanding of the laws of economic development."

Although there is a joke that the earning power of economists is generally not very strong, William Chen does not need to really learn how to make money. What he hopes is that he can make better use of the memory of his previous life through learning. And experience, so starting from economics should be a better direction.

"Well, I'm waiting to talk to New York University. Economics is also a relatively strong major at New York University. You went to business school in college before, and it has something to do with economics. It's not a complete interdisciplinary study. , take advantage of the current vacation to hire a few teachers to take tutoring lessons, and in September, you should be able to go directly to a master's degree." Hearing William Chen's answer, Tom had already made plans for him.

New York University has two long vacations a year, similar to the winter vacation and summer vacation in Huaguo. Now it is just in the middle of the vacation. Summer will last from mid-May to early September. However, the regulations are not so strict. After the exam, you can leave the school directly.

Therefore, even if Chen William went to study at New York University, he would have to wait until September. Now this is the right time to hire teachers of related majors to help him with his economics undergraduate courses.

Although he entered this school through the "back door", he can't really act too watery. After all, his main purpose is not to get that diploma, but to really learn something. .

In fact, in the United States, it is very common to enter a prestigious school in this way in a wealthy family, just like the Garrett he met at the party before. He has always been boasting about a prestigious school degree, but it is said that he was studying at Yale as an undergraduate. It is because his father donated $250 million to Yale, and he is now studying at New York University, and his father donated $300 million to the school.

Speaking of this, William Chen realized that he seemed to be an alumnus with this Garrett soon, and wondered what kind of interesting scene it would be if they met on campus at that time.

But by that time, his opinion of himself should have changed a lot, assuming that the report of Eye of the Future is reliable.

Sure enough, on this day, William Chen received a notification from the bank that the funds had arrived, and the loan he had mortgaged for the villa had already entered his account.

So he immediately transferred the $2000 million into his stock account and notified Jos.The other party had already negotiated with William Chen before, and the money would be invested in potential stocks in the shipping sector other than the few stocks he had delineated.

After all, I invested 500 million US dollars in DryShips stock before, and invested 3000 million US dollars in the stocks that appeared in the remaining reports. These funds are already the limit that these stocks can not be affected too much. Too obvious.

With the addition of the previous US$1500 million, US$3500 million will be invested in the shipping sector. Joss analyzed that if the sector collectively rises sharply, there will be several stocks that will perform better.

Because William Chen fulfilled his promise before, he asked Tom to accompany him to the best hospital in New York for a full-body examination. Much healthier than most people, this result also made Tom a lot more at ease with him now.

Tom also acted quickly and contacted New York University, because William Chen's father was an alumnus of New York University and had donated more than 1000 million US dollars to the school before his death, so the other party readily agreed to William Chen's admission After the school starts in September, he will enter New York University and study for a master's degree in economics.

At the same time, after consulting, he also hired an economics lecturer for William Chen as his tutor before the start of school.

In fact, if it is only for him to complete the undergraduate courses of related majors, the lecturer is enough to deal with it. As for those professors, to the current William Chen, it is probably equivalent to an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes, and those professors, more It is academic achievements, and the real teaching is not necessarily better than the lecturer.

In this way, William Chen's schedule for the day is relatively full. After he gets up in the morning and runs in the morning, he will take a shower, have breakfast, and then go to Building 666 on Fifth Avenue.

Now an office has been specially arranged for him next to the trading team. William Chen will wait in the office for the arrival of the New York University lecturer after learning about the operation of the stock market. The lectures are held for three hours in the morning and in the afternoon.Afterwards, he will continue to communicate with Joss about today's stock market operations, and finally return home after dinner, review today's lessons alone, go to the gym to sweat, and finally go to sleep.

It can be said that from now on, William Chen will start a two-point and one-line life at home and in the office.There was no other way. After all, he had seen the persistence of American journalists during this period.

Even when he came home from a morning jog, he encountered reporters who asked him questions, mainly about his love life and financial issues. I am afraid that many people are now paying attention to the fact that sometimes he does not appear in Hollywood. William Chen, is he really about to go bankrupt?

Therefore, he wisely chose to live a secluded life. It is estimated that he will not break all kinds of rumors until this time the investment is completed and he solves the imminent bank debt.

However, when William Chen saw the lecturer Tom hired for him for the first time, he was still stunned for a while.Before, William Chen only knew that the other party was a woman named Erica. In his impression, the lecturers in the university were not too young, and women could be more patient. After all, he also knew his predecessor. What is the level of .

Now, when the other party came to his office and introduced himself, William Chen looked at a tall, beautiful woman who was not yet 30 years old, and said she was a supermodel without any sense of disobedience. He couldn't help but doubt Uncle Tom's intentions. Come on, is this really the way you want to study hard?
"Mr. Chen, shall we start now?" Erica, the lecturer who looked like a young Heidi Klum in front of her, asked.

"Ms. Erica, you can just call me William from now on. After all, I'm your student now. It's weird for you to be so polite. Well, let's start now. Uncle Tom told you, we There are three hours of lectures in the morning and three hours in the afternoon."

In order to hire good teachers, William Chen also offered a generous salary of US$1500 a day, although teaching six hours a day was more tiring than in college.

But at this time, the annual salary of a lecturer at New York University was about 9 US dollars, while Erica could get 4.5 US dollars a month with William Chen, which was equal to her annual salary in two months.

"Okay, William, you can also call me Erica in the future. My students all call me that. In order to know your current level and give more targeted lectures, I have prepared several sets of test papers, which are from New York City. Take the undergraduate-level exam in university economics, you do it first, and I will focus on your shortcomings later." Erica took out a few test papers from her bag, handed them to William Chen, and watched him start Let's do it.

Erica is not just a vase with a beautiful appearance. She can become a lecturer at New York University at the age of 27, which is not an easy task in itself.When she first heard that William Chen, the most famous prodigal son in the United States, was going to be a teacher, she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

After all, there were too many news about this person before. Whether it was his love life or his bad movie investment, they all became the talk of people all over the United States after dinner.

One can imagine how difficult it would be to be a teacher for such a young master. She even felt that this so-called teacher was just a cover for this young master to deal with the elders. If this was the case, the work would be easier.

But she is not ignorant of her own beauty. Even on campus, she has encountered countless pursuits by bold students. In New York University, you can imagine how many descendants of the rich and powerful among them. For those pursuits, she is It was a total rejection, and now you have to face this prodigal and playboy every day, you can imagine how sad it is.

But what moved her in the end was the generous reward.And she also knew that although the prodigal son had a lot of negative news before, but in terms of women, his reputation was not bad, and there was really no record of overstepping or coercing the opposite sex.

This is also understandable, he is the kind of handsome man who makes women scream, and with a lot of money, he doesn't need to play any exciting games at all, it is enough to make many women fall into his arms.So after hesitation, Erica accepted the job.
