America's Road to Fame

Chapter 11 Are you sure this is William Chen?
After getting the test papers completed by William Chen, Erica finished the review quickly. She didn't need to see the final grades, but she couldn't help sighing during the process of reviewing. It seems that this job is really good. Not so easy.

Sure enough, although this prodigal son studied management at a famous TOP10 school in the United States, such as Caltech, it seems that he has almost forgotten what he learned at that time, or he didn’t learn it in the first place. how many things.

After all, who would have known that this young man had guest roles in movies since his freshman year, and then he got out of control, and finally even started a film company and plunged into Hollywood.

Therefore, at this time, Erica also prepared for the worst, that is, to tell him the undergraduate course of economics from beginning to end. As for how much he can learn at the beginning of the semester, this matter only God knows.

However, the next study was somewhat beyond Erica's expectations. William Chen was unexpectedly serious, and judging from the results of a day's study, his progress was relatively fast, far exceeding what she taught at New York University. For those students, even for many moments, Erica would have the illusion that the one in front of her was not the notorious prodigal son in the rumors, but a talented, smart and studious college student.

And when she saw the handsome face of the other party that could fascinate all women, she immediately realized that the one in front of her was indeed William Chen.

When William Chen returned home after the day's study, he received a call from Tom not long after.

"William, how was your study today?"

"It's not bad, it's just Uncle Tom, you didn't say that my teacher is a sexy stunner before." When William Chen was speaking, Erica's stunning face appeared in his mind, And even in conservative business attire, she still can't hide her good figure.

"Haha, but in that university's economics major, Ms. Erica is indeed a more suitable candidate. And I can understand your current age. Although I don't want you to hang around all day, you don't have to be like Now you are living like a monk. Compared to hanging out with those little stars who only have exposure in their eyes, I hope that there are more knowledgeable people like Ms. Erica among the people you associate with."

William Chen could clearly feel that Tom was in a good mood now, and he said, "Since everything is going well, then you can enjoy the peaceful life now."

understand?You understand eggplant, you haven't dated a few women yourself, okay?William Chen was a little speechless about Uncle Tom's words. He didn't know about Uncle Tom when he was young, but as far as he knew, he had never seen him talk about a girlfriend in these years, let alone married. Where does he stand now with William Chen? What to say to enjoy life.

But when you think about it carefully, what he said is not unreasonable.Compared with the kind of old pedant, it is at least pleasing to the eyes to be taught by the glamorous Erica. As for other ideas, he really doesn't have too many ideas now, and the main focus is on the most important investment.

On July 7th, Joss finally ran into William Chen's office excitedly. This was the first time he interrupted William Chen when he was in class.After apologizing to Erica, William Chen walked out of the office and asked, "What's going on?"

"Many stocks in the shipping sector are showing signs of starting, especially the stocks you pointed out to me have risen sharply today, with a range of more than 15%, and the DryShips stock has risen by more than 45%."

Joss reported with excitement on his face that when William Chen first found him, he asked him to help with the trader, and he delineated the scope of the operation, and even specified several stocks. Very disapproving.

After all, Chen Weilian's reputation is very good. When did such a famous prodigal son learn how to speculate in stocks like others?But seeing that the other party had paid enough, and that the Hunter He who introduced him was once his boss, and had taken care of him a lot, and the other party was well connected in the financial industry, so Joss agreed to this operation. plate.

Anyway, he is only responsible for doing his best within the technical scope. As for the final result, whether he can really make a profit is really out of his control. After all, this trade is different from other times. It is planned by the employer William Chen. Set a specific scope, they are just operations.

However, through recent research, and some shipping-related indexes in the past two or three days have shown positive signals, Joss found that there may be opportunities brewing in this sector.

But in the past, individual stocks would go up, and there was no trend in the entire sector, so he still needed to wait and see. Until today, most of the stocks in the entire sector had seen an overall rise, and he finally confirmed that the shipping sector The opportunity has come.

Now the biggest doubt in his heart is, how did William Chen, known as the prodigal son, discover the opportunity in this sector earlier, a week earlier?Does he really have such a strong financial talent?Or is there an expert around him for advice?Or where did you get the confidential information?
However, it is impossible for him to ask this question. It is not the first day for him to do this business. He knows that unnecessary curiosity cannot exist. Besides, even if he really asks, he will not get it 100% of the time. The real answer, why bother to ask for trouble.

"Okay, I got it, keep watching, anyway, we haven't all invested in it, and I'll let you know when it's ready to sell." William Chen nodded without showing too much emotion. The look of excitement made Joss see it, and he felt more and more unpredictable.

After Joss left, William Chen still had a smile on his face. Although he had already known the general trend of the shipping sector from the report of the Eye of the Future, he really confirmed the news today. Seeing the shipping sector It really went up as a whole as reported in the report, he was finally relieved, and naturally his mood improved.

"My business is over, Erica, let's continue. Where did we go?" William Chen walked into the office, sat down, and said to his current teacher, Erica, with a smile.

"Okay, let's continue talking about this question in statistics..." Erica pointed to the corresponding position in the textbook, and continued talking to William Chen.

William Chen hopes to study for a master's degree in economics at New York University. When Erica learned about this situation, she told him that the master's degree in economics is the MA program of New York University's School of Arts and Sciences (Art&Science). MA is the abbreviation of Master of Art, which can be understood as partial A liberal arts degree, but as an economics, it also has high requirements for the foundation of mathematics.

If William Chen chooses this degree, he will enroll in the autumn, that is, start in September. The total duration of degree study is three semesters (autumn, spring, and autumn semesters), requiring at least 32 credits and writing a project report.

Among them, the credits taken in the Department of Economics must be at least 24 credits, and the other 8 credits may come from other departments or colleges; students must have a cumulative GPA (grade point average) of at least 3.0 (B) to graduate and obtain a degree certificate.

For this degree, applicants must have a four-year undergraduate degree, and at the same time require two courses of calculus (or one course of calculus and one course of linear algebra), one course of statistics, one course of econometrics Studies, as well as courses such as Intermediate Microeconomics and Intermediate Macroeconomics.

Of course, there are many other requirements for ordinary students, but Chen Weilian originally entered the school "through the back door". As long as he chooses this course and can meet the above basic requirements, there will be no resistance at all.And in fact, all the above requirements can be omitted, but if you really want to learn this course well, the above requirements are the most basic. Without these foundations, it is impossible to study smoothly.

Therefore, after William Chen considered it, he decided that this course was indeed more suitable for him. After confirming to apply for this degree, Erica began to teach William Chen according to the above requirements. Now they are learning courses related to statistics. .

At this time, after she finished explaining, Erica nodded silently seeing William Chen looking at the textbook seriously and understanding the content.After this week of contact, she found that the real William Chen was not like those reports and rumors. Compared with the image of William Chen she had imagined before, the person she came into contact with was completely different. people.

In the usual lectures, William Chen did not take any overstepping actions, and behaved very cultivated and gentlemanly.And different from what she had expected before, the other party belonged to the outstanding class among the students she had ever seen in terms of learning ability and quick thinking.And the degree of hard work and seriousness also made her extremely impressed.

Sometimes she even wondered why the person in front of her was portrayed like that by those newspapers?How can there be so many negative rumors?
Because no matter how she saw it, William Chen should be the kind of young man with a good family background, polite, intelligent and talented, all of which she observed in her daily contact.If someone had described Chen William to her like this before, she would definitely think that person was crazy.

Therefore, she is very satisfied with her job now. The knowledge taught can be accepted. Seeing that William Chen is making progress every day, as a teacher, she also has a sense of accomplishment, and the salary is very high. She can often see That 360-degree face-defying face with no dead ends, thinking of how her best friend persuaded William Chen to give up quickly when she knew she was going to teach William Chen, Erica felt very funny.
