Chapter 35 Boeing

 The next day MIT, Massachusetts

MIT was founded in 1861 and is located in Massachusetts, USA. It is a world-renowned private research university. It is famous for its majors in engineering and computer science, ranking among the top academic rankings of world universities, and physics.

, chemistry, economics, philosophy, political science, architecture and other disciplines.

In 1916, MIT moved to the bank of the Charles River in Cambridge, near Harvard University.

The first time George walked into this university, there was no sacred feeling or some kind of longing. Because, in George's current situation, it doesn't matter whether he goes to university or not. American universities have always paid more attention to

Practical. So the kind of people who study rotely in school will not be popular.

And if you want to say that you opened a company and interned in a well-known company, that's no problem. You can take leave as long as you can submit a report when you return.

After George arrived at the school, he first visited the current principal, Mr. Elihu Thomson. Then, under the interview of four teachers, he delivered a short speech. In short, it was why I came back, what I have achieved, etc.

, very boring.

However, the school’s teacher was very satisfied with George and approved it on the spot. Then he notified George that he could register for classes on September 5th.

This is the reality of capitalist society. Going to college in the United States is very luxurious. If you can’t get a scholarship, you might as well just sleep. The cost of college will make you bankrupt.

American parents really don’t care about their children, except for the rich and Asians.

Children after the age of 18 really need to support themselves. The middle class has a slightly better situation, but ordinary people really have no choice.

Want to go to college? Very good, go on a work-study program. You can also serve as a soldier for two years. Then you can go to college with the money you get as a soldier.

In short, you can handle your own affairs yourself.

Also, do you think you can study in a good university if you have money? No, this is just your basic condition.

You also need a letter of introduction. The higher the status of the person who has made an appointment with you, the higher the status of the person who needs to give you the introduction letter. Moreover, the more famous the university, the higher the tuition fee, so you can't get the above two, then, I'm sorry, community

Find out more about it in college. Fortunately, George met all the conditions.

Studying medicine in American universities is very troublesome. You don’t need a bachelor’s degree to become a doctor. You must get a doctorate to be qualified, so the doctor’s name DOCTOR also means doctor, which means that all doctors are doctors.

In college, you first have to study pre-med courses, such as biology, biochemistry, etc., then take the medical school entrance exam, and then apply for medical school based on your scores on the medical school entrance exam and your average grade in school...<

/p>

If you want to study medicine, it is better to study biology and human body first. As for the exams, they are various exams organized by the school and recognized by the academic community. The specifics will also change, but in the end there will definitely be a graduation exam and a license exam for employment.

, including experiments and theories.

Here, there are also specialist and systemic types, which are very troublesome anyway.

However, as George had learned before, what ultimately matters is test scores and practice reports. George is not prepared to be a serious doctor. He is just learning knowledge and finding a source for his next key project.

Otherwise, he might really be eaten up. Therefore, on the first day he entered the school, George was not prepared to follow the school's plan and left step by step.

Moreover, the advancement of the American undergraduate education system lies in its general education concept.

This educational philosophy stipulates that American college students must receive considerable general education before they can receive specialized education. General education includes the major fields of art, humanities, social sciences, philosophy, and natural sciences.

Therefore, when we apply to American universities, we can choose "indeterminate major" in the first two years, and then make a decision in the third year. During this period, you have two years for you to think and choose. Even if you don't like the major you choose, most schools

You can apply to change majors.

Therefore, with such a flexible mechanism, George wants to be involved in multiple subjects. Anyway, he has a lot of time, so he can make money and study at the same time. His study is just a hobby, so there is not much pressure.

.

After completing the interview, George returned to New York because Paul sent news that the current wheat futures price had dropped to US$0.96 per bushel.

The next day New York Stock Exchange

Today's exchanges are still hot, and those who want to sell first are of course also those who want to balance their own company's stocks to save the market.

George didn't stay below for long and went directly to the private room. Paul had arranged for his broker to wait. George told the broker to close the position.

It was not until the market was about to close that the delivery was completed. After calculation, George bought the 100 million contract at a price of 1.96 per bushel. In other words, George directly made a net profit of 50 million US dollars.

By the way, isn't George afraid of government investigations? He really isn't. First, all his sources of funds are legal and can be investigated. Second, he is not involved in insider trading or market manipulation. Third, he is not going too far.

George only used 10 times leverage. If he used higher leverage, he would be robbing the market.

Therefore, George felt at ease that the 50 million fell into his pocket. Moreover, such an operation, as the number one family on Wall Street, the Morgan family, is called sneaking. The creed of the Morgan family is "It is not the law that promotes history, but the law."

Money, just money!"

That night, George held a celebration party in the hotel. Of course, he only invited all employees of his company.

The next day, the New York Financial News wrote the biggest headline, "The man who became a multi-millionaire the fastest this year." It introduced in detail the history of George's fortune, including making money through gambling many times, and finally making money in futures.

He became famous in one battle. Some reports called George a lucky boy, etc. Of course, some people also introduced George as a new best-selling novel writer. Of course, this news was spread by Paul after a newspaper reporter called the company.

Message.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Starting from this day, George will receive many invitations to charity galas or charity auctions. George did not respond to newspaper interviews. However, he still asked Paul to attend some charity auctions in his own name in the future. Anyway, not only can

After auctioning some antiques, the amount spent on charity can be tax deductible.

Because George is not interested in politics, he works hard in charitable organizations that have no political nature, such as animal protection organizations and children's care organizations. This is the most basic and correct direction, because the United States is a weird country that values ​​public ethics but not private ethics.

Country.

The next day, George asked Paul to help him buy shares of Lincoln Motors on the stock market.

Lincoln Motors was founded in 1917 by Henry Leland. Its brand name is named after U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.

Leland developed the Lincoln L model before World War I. Although this model was excellent, the Lincoln L model also became a victim of the postwar economic recession, and sales plummeted by nearly half. During this period, we encountered this situation again.

During the current economic crisis, the Lincoln Company was in trouble due to shareholders withdrawing funds and legal disputes over tax matters.

George remembered that Leland later begged the boss of the Ford Company, Ford Sr., and later, with the persuasion of Ford Sr.'s son Edsel, Ford Sr. purchased the Lincoln Company for $8 million in February 1922. Leland and his

His son Will Farrad served as president and vice president. But not long after, the father and son had a dispute with Henry Ford over issues such as autonomy and shareholder responsibility. Ford fired Leland and his son, and let Ed.

Sai serves as president.

Therefore, Lincoln is currently in its most difficult period, so George is preparing to take over this luxury car company at this time. With the vision of the previous life, are there any competitors in model research and development?

George can have Lincoln build all the classic luxury cars of later generations. Really make some limited edition models.

A week later, George's acquisition also aroused feedback from the market. Now that all automobile industry stocks have fallen, there are still people taking the initiative to buy automobile stocks, which suddenly aroused the interest of some people. Some people held a small amount of Lincoln.

When retail investors in stocks see someone taking an order, they will hesitate and sell the order directly.

Not only did this not pull up Lincoln's stock, but Lincoln's stock fell again due to a large number of retail investors selling the stock. George did not hesitate to take all the selling orders.

In fact, the circle on Wall Street is very small, and many things will be known as soon as one inquires. George continues to buy Lincoln Company stocks, and some major shareholders who hold stocks there will not understand. Because if George also buys a large amount of stocks at this time,

Even if no one takes the order, selling will cause a panic and greatly reduce the value of the stocks in their hands.

Therefore, someone contacted George through the relationship with Bank of America. George also expressed his sincerity and was willing to talk. Then they agreed to talk at Panlong Company two days later. Because September 1st was about to happen, he

I have to go to school, so I don’t want to take care of you anymore.

On the day of the meeting, George met Mr. Henry Leland, the founder of the Lincoln brand, and representatives of some major shareholders in the conference room. After greetings, the two parties sat down separately.

Leland spoke first: "I heard Mr. Groman say before that Mr. Orwell is young and promising. When we met today, I realized that Mr. Orwell is so young."

"Haha, Mr. Leland deserves the prize. I just got lucky and won the bet."

"If you are still lucky in the casino, then your choice in futures is not as simple as luck. Haha, congratulations."

"Haha, thank you. Okay, let's get back to the topic. I don't know why Mr. Leland found me through Mr. Groman this time?"

"That's right, because this year's automobile industry was affected by World War I, the stocks of automobile companies were declining, and we found that Mr. Orwell has been buying a large amount of our company's stocks recently. So, I don't know, Orwell

Mr. Er is just doing some operations, or is he really interested in our company and wants to hold it for a long time?"

"Haha, it turns out that's what happened. If so, you also know that I made a little money in the stock market. But I have always relied on luck to achieve a little success. So I wanted to do some business. And because

I recently bought a Lincoln car and it is very comfortable to use. I have seen a lot of things happening in Lincoln recently. The stock price is very low. I am still very confident in your company and believe that under the leadership of Mr. Leland, Lincoln will

There is a very good future. So I just keep some in my hands, and it doesn’t matter if I lose.”

"Well, that's right. In other words, you may not hold it for a long time?" the shareholder representative sitting aside asked anxiously.

"Haha, of course, Lincoln is not my company, so it depends on your future development."

As a shareholder of Lincoln Company, I know that my company is in trouble right now, and small shareholders like myself are trying to figure out how to cash out.

But I am afraid that selling stocks all together will cause the value of the stocks in my hands to plummet, so I have been hesitating.

Now I finally saw a life-saving straw, so the representative of the small shareholders directly went past Leland and asked what he had just said.

George didn't want to make it too ugly. Since the representative had handed over the ladder, George could just express his thoughts: "What, do any of your shareholders want to sell the stock? If the price is right, I don't mind taking it.

.However, as a young man, I may be a little willful. That is, if I take over the business, I hope to own all the shares."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I worked hard to create the Lincoln brand, and I will not hand it over to anyone else." Leland said angrily.

"Mr. Orwell, are you telling the truth? I am willing to transfer the shares." This representative.

The two spoke at the same time and expressed their opinions.

"Well, it seems that the opinions are not unanimous, haha."

"Okay, Mr. Leland, can we talk alone?" George invited.

Leland hesitated for a while and said, "Okay."
