The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 17 Life Goals

   "What the **** is going on here?"

  The four of them felt a little bewildered when they encountered such an unimaginable event. The development of the matter was obviously beyond their expectations. While they were still secretly in a daze, the "victim" girl had quietly left, taking a coat of Li Wei along with her.

   "Let's go back first, it seems that we should try our best to avoid going out at night."

  Wang Haiyang saw that the others were still standing there, showing no intention of leaving, so he couldn't help reminding them. He was the least timid, and he was terrified when he saw the dagger. Now that even the police slipped away, he was even more frightened.

   Everyone gave him such a reminder, and they all reacted. Now is not the time to think about it. After looking at each other, they returned to the school with their minds full of doubts.

   "I want to be an official! I don't want to be an academic any more. Being an official can serve the motherland!"

  Wang Haiyang announced loudly after several people who were still in shock returned to the dormitory. It seems that what happened tonight stimulated him a lot. Even he, who has always claimed to be a future scientist and Nobel Prize winner, felt the difference between campus and society. Before anyone else could say anything, he went on to say, "Brothers, do you remember the seniors from the past few years? Li Zhiqiang? Wu Qiushi?"

The two people he mentioned were famous figures on the campus of Yanda University at that time. The older Li Zhiqiang stayed at Yanda University as the secretary of the school league after graduation because of his excellent grades and strong political nature. He was transferred to the Central Bureau as a clerk.

And Wu Qiushi, who is relatively young, is a figure who is fanatically admired by students of Yan University. He comes from a remote countryside in the south. He entered Yan University as the number one scholar at the age of 16, studied in the Chinese Department, and was named as the The outstanding fresh graduate could have stayed in Yanjing to work, but he applied to work in the plateau. Later, as a graduate representative, he spoke in the National Assembly Hall, which was widely reported by the media and became an ideal example of a scholar serving the country.

Like the other famous university next door, the students of Yanda University also have a feeling of taking the world as their own responsibility, but the difference is that what the next door university cultivates are conscientious engineers and the idea of ​​"working for the motherland for fifty years". Yan University, on the other hand, is closer to idealism and the feelings of "governing the country and family" of ancient Chinese scholar-bureaucrats, and people like Wu Qiushi are undoubtedly the perfect model in the minds of Yan University students.

   "Zhong Yi, what do you want to do in the future?"

  Speaking of the future, several people immediately put the past behind them and started discussing with great interest.

  Generally speaking, most of a person's life develops in three fields, namely, politics, business and academia. No matter which field you are in, it is not easy to achieve something, but there are still a lot of people who have achieved success, and there are even great people who can span several fields and achieve remarkable achievements.

Just like the founder of Renaissance Technology, James Simmons, was a world-class mathematician before he established a hedge fund. At the age of 23, he received a Ph.D. Professor of Mathematics with MIT MIT. In 1974, together with the legendary Chinese mathematician Chen Shiingshen, he proposed the Chen-Simmons theory and won the "Fields Medal".

  After reaching the peak in academia, Simmons, after consulting with Shiing-shen Chern, entered the business world and founded the legendary hedge fund - Renaissance Technology. In just two decades, Renaissance Technology has grown from an unknown fund to a giant managing tens of billions of dollars, and Simmons himself has been listed on the Forbes Global Rich List with a net worth of more than 10 billion dollars. top one hundred.

   "I, I want to study in the United States in the future. As for the future plans, I haven't made up my mind yet! How about you?"

   Zhong Yi replied casually, but he thought of the life plan Zhong Shi made for him in his heart. He didn't take it seriously at first, but after seeing this genius cousin's ability to make money, Zhong Yi gradually paid more attention to Zhong Shi's words, even imitating his nine-year-old cousin unconsciously.

   Naturally, this cannot be told to other people, and even the parents who like it are kept in the dark.

   "I, after graduation, I will be assigned wherever I want, but it's better to go back to the grassland. You also know that the environment in big cities is really bad, and the blue sky and white clouds on the grassland are better!"

  Wutida said carelessly that his kind of thinking is a bit shocking in later generations today, let alone at that time. In the 1980s, people hoped to pass the college entrance examination to change their destiny, and then become urban residents. It would be even better if they could eat public meals. However, on university campuses, many young students hope to go to the forefront of reform—Shenzhen and Hong Kong—with expectations for reform and opening up, and for a better future. Even the students of Yenching University are no exception.

After hearing Utida's words, the other people looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly the whole dormitory fell into a strange silence. Zhong Yi, Wang Haiyang, and Li Wei looked at Utida with incredible eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable. hair straight.

   "What's the matter? If you have been to the grassland and seen the endless grassland and blue sky and white clouds, I guarantee that you will never think about living in the city again."

  Utida explained in a low voice. But even he himself didn't believe that these brothers would really stay on the grassland after seeing the beauty of the grassland.

   "Li Wei, what are your future plans?"

  Everyone despised Utida for a while, then turned their guns and aimed at the only person who hadn't confided.

"I am planning to go to Shenzhen and Hong Kong after graduation. You have also heard that there is a magical land where miracles happen every day. Maybe I will be successful there in the future. You will go to Shenzhen and Hong Kong in the future. Shenzhen and Hong Kong..."

   After waiting for a long time, it was finally his turn. Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he began to talk incessantly, without even noticing the clear expressions on the faces of the others.

   Several people had heard his plan many times before. Li Wei would talk about his future plans whenever he had the opportunity. At first, everyone wanted to hurt him, but after listening to it for a long time, they became numb.

  The society in the 1980s was not an era of serious money worship, especially on university campuses, because the first time Li Wei spoke out his life plan, he was severely criticized by several other people. But now that time has passed and the situation has changed, a few people have lost their original thoughts.

  The thing that changed the most was naturally Zhong Yi. He witnessed with his own eyes that the female classmate he liked got into a small car and drove off with a man of unattractive appearance. He kept comforting himself, saying that it was just a coincidence, or that the person was a relative of the female classmate, or...

  In short, he found hundreds of reasons to defend her, but the changes in the female classmate severely shattered his fantasy. The one-piece floral skirt, sky blue jeans, and vermilion leather shoes, all of these undoubtedly tell Zhongyi the charm of money.

  Zhong Yi buried this matter deeply in her heart and never told others. This is the pain that a boy must experience when he transforms into a man.

  If Zhong Shi knew about this, he would probably just laugh it off. This kind of thing is too common in later generations. As a top fund manager, he often attends the private parties of some wealthy people. If the things that happen on those occasions are leaked out, it will definitely cause an uproar.

   "Hey, where's your girlfriend?"

   Wu Tida stared, and interrupted Li Wei's long speech unceremoniously.

   In the evening conversations in the male dormitory of the university, girls are an eternal theme. No matter what topic it starts with, it always ends with the topic of the opposite sex. The secretion of hormones in the body of young people in adolescence is undoubtedly very sufficient.

  In this dormitory, only Zhong Yi is a bachelor, and the others are all married. Utida's girlfriend is a girl who also comes from Mengfeng. The two met in the fellow countrymen's association, and they had a good impression of each other, and then they got together naturally.

  Li Wei's girlfriend Liu Ling is a Xiujiang girl, with the typical characteristics of Jiangnan girls, petite, fair-skinned, and soft-spoken, which makes people feel affectionate at first glance. It took Li Wei a lot of effort to stand out from many competitors and win the heart of the beauty.

  Wang Haiyang's girlfriend Zhang Minghui is also from Lihai, just like him, and they are high school classmates. Wang Haiyang often complains in the dormitory, claiming that his girlfriend is too shrewd and cares about everything, which hurts him as a man, but the others don't take his words seriously at all.

  Having been together for nearly three years, everyone has a clear understanding of other people's temperament, and the truth of what they say on weekdays has long been clear. Everyone else knew that every time Wang Haiyang complained, his intention was to show off to a few people.

"Hehe, Minghui said that she would return to Lihai after graduation. So I thought so too, but after today's incident, I decided to stay in Yanjing after graduation, and it would be best to enter the government department. If she disagrees, we will just We can break up!"

  Wang Haiyang sneered and said something that surprised everyone. Only then did everyone realize that Wang Haiyang's determination to step into the officialdom was so determined that he could even abandon his girlfriend who had been with him for several years.

   For a while, several other people fell silent, not knowing what to say. The beautiful vision shattered the reality of society with one blow, causing several people to fall back from fantasy to reality, and their mood became extremely heavy.

   "I don't know what my little cousin has plans for the future, and what are his goals in life?"

  Lying on the bed, Zhong Yi looked at the upper bed plank boredly, and couldn't help thinking wildly. This time, he didn't think of the girl who made him change his values, but instead thought of Zhong Shi who gave him advice from time to time.

After thinking for a while, Zhong Yi suddenly realized that none of the others fell asleep. Even Utida, who usually fell asleep on the bed, kept turning over on the bed. It was obvious that she had something on her mind and was quiet. From time to time, there were sighs in the dormitory.

   "He is only a nine-year-old child, even if he is a genius, what can he know?" Zhong Yi sorted out his thoughts, and couldn't help laughing at his thoughts. He didn't expect that Zhong Shi not only arranged the future for him, but also set a goal for himself that is unbelievable to outsiders.
