Chapter 720 High tuition fees

"So, you are still the interviewer?!"

"That's right, I was the interviewer for the initial test. It's a coincidence. When I applied to Yale University two years ago, my interviewer was a Chinese. He is now teaching at Tsinghua University. Today, two years later, I came to the High School Attached to Tsinghua University and became their interviewer!"

It is rare to meet a parent of a student who asks about tuition fees after living, and asks about admission requirements first.Carter's spirits were much higher.
Look at the other person's temperament, from whether they are calm and calm, you can actually tell how confident a person is.Compared with many parents I met today, this family is obviously more likely to become my clients. Oh no, Yale student families!
Once this high-quality student found out, the smile on Carter's face became brighter unconsciously.It was displayed in front of Zhang Xincheng.
This foreigner has such a good temperament!

Confident, generous, only two years older than myself, can independently lead a team to other countries, and other schools undertake such important tasks
Under the influence of information differences, no one would think that Carter, the chairman of the board of directors, is a strange creature even in the history of Yale University, and he is an atypical representative.Whether it is Zhang Yuanchao or Zhang Xincheng, they can only attribute Carter's generosity, calmness and confidence to Yale University's training of students
"This shows that you have a relationship with China! You didn't learn Chinese from that Chinese professor, did you?"

Secretly sighed, the young guy in front of him is not bad.
Feeling that he is completely different from the little guys in his factory who would tremble when they saw him, Zhang Yuanchao really moved his mind to send his children to the United States to study in college!
After all, what is his son lacking the most?Isn't it just mental quality? !

As long as he is half as generous as the person in front of him, he will not be so nervous that he will perform abnormally in the college entrance examination.

"It's not, it's just that there is a Chinese restaurant in my house. I love to eat there. It's the food, which opened up my interest in Chinese culture. I also learned Chinese from him."

While chatting with Zhang Yuanchao with a smile on his face, some Yale classmates often came to inform Carter about something.
What lunch arrangement, why the leaders went out first, etc., Carter also quickly gave instructions to let them collect the registration form, and then accompany the Chinese leaders to the restaurant by themselves.I also quickly returned to the topic:
"About the tuition fees, Yale's undergraduate tuition is $6130 a year, and the accommodation fee is $800. If your child's usual grades are good, we will have a scholarship. The full scholarship will cover all the expenses, but this scholarship There are not many places. The more stable one is the Carter Center Scholarship, which is sponsored by our former US President Jimmy Carter for half of the children's expenses. If your child gets the admission letter, then you only need to pay $3465 per year. Of course, The round-trip air ticket needs to be resolved by yourself.”

"Sigh~"

Even though he heard from his wife that the tuition fees of this university are not cheap, much more expensive than the average American university, Zhang Yuanchao couldn't help but rub his teeth
This is nearly a thousand dollars higher than the $2500 I expected!

"Then how much do you spend on living expenses a month when you are in school?"

"This varies from person to person, but as long as you come to the United States, you don't have to worry about life. There are many work-study jobs in the school, which are given priority to students at school. They use their spare time to work part-time in cafeterias, shops, libraries, etc. It is not difficult to support themselves. In addition, if he is talented, he can perform with his classmates, and he can get dividends from the ticket money he receives; or if he performs well in studies, he can work as a teaching assistant for professors to help them with lectures or research, and the school will also provide teaching assistants Research scholarship, so that life is not only okay, but also very good!"

When the price was quoted, seeing this price-insensitive consumer who rarely asked the price first gasped, Carter immediately added.

So what does it matter if teaching and research assistantships are not usually given to undergraduates?With me here, can this group of people starve to death? !

"Ah, what do you mean, the daily living expenses are basically free?"

"We need to spend money, but we basically don't spend money from our family. We can all support ourselves, and I believe your children can too!"

"No wonder I think you are so shrewd and capable! Then how about it, you have an interview first to see if my child meets your requirements!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yuanchao gritted his teeth and pushed his son out.

After a conversation in English, Carter took them to fill out the registration form.
"Old Zhang, are you really planning to send Cheng Cheng out?"

"I figured it out, if we don't need to worry about Xincheng's living expenses. We gritted our teeth and could still take out more than 3000 US dollars a year! Our factory should help me change more than 1000 to 6 US dollars, and the rest will come from The pigeon market is exchanged, so let’s fight for [-] years. Four years, [-] yuan.”

6 yuan
Zhang Xincheng was taken aback, even with the addition of his grandfather's retirement salary.It also took the whole family to save it for nearly 17 years without eating or drinking.

This is no longer a matter of small numbers and large numbers. It can be said that even the coffin of the elderly at home has to be moved!

"Other than the coffin book, the old man still has some savings, plus our family's. I'll go to Lao Li, Lao Liu and the others to borrow some one by one. As long as Xincheng is good, we will spend the money. The money is gone. , come back!"

"Dad! Come on, it's too much!"

"It's okay, didn't the little foreigner just say that you can pay the tuition and accommodation fees once a year. Let's pay for one year first, and then you will work part-time in the United States, and you should have some left over. Sixty thousand seems like a lot, but it should actually be spent. Not that much!"

Smiling and patted his son's shoulder, Zhang Yuanchao looked at the scorching sun in the sky, his aging face seemed to emit a ray of light.
"Xincheng, your mother and I are only one son of you, and your grandfather is only one grandson like you. As long as you can live a good life, we have nothing to be satisfied with! Besides, it doesn't matter if you go out, and your income will be high when you come back. ! The situation in the future will be different from what we used to be”

"Some foreigners have also come to us to open factories, and their wages are so high! You said that you drink foreign ink and come back, no matter how bad you are, you go to work in those factories for a few years, and the money is earned back, right? ? Don’t be stressed, as long as you are good to you, you want to do it, go to learn, your parents, your parents, and your grandparents will support you!"

"Old Zhang, have you thought about it?"

"Is it hard to think about it? Didn't you see the eyes of the newcomer? Besides, my son wants to go to a good university, and his grades are not bad. Why not let him go, why can he be determined for life in one exam?"

"I still have some dowry from that year, so you can sell it! And our bicycles are all sold. We'll go on our way later."

"My work is close, so I won't ride a bike, yours is far away"

"How far can it go? Do you understand by exercising?!"

"Not yet there"

Silently listening to the conversation of his parents, the leaflet in Zhang Xincheng's hand was unknowingly squeezed tighter and tighter.
