Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 338 Carnival

For the next few days, the two were inseparable, always together.

Even when Jiang Yinqiu went to Columbia University to attend classes, Ma Liang followed him like a shadow and never wanted to be separated for a moment.

In the rest of the time, the two traveled around and visited all major attractions in New York City.

They have appeared in the Metropolitan Museum, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Fifth Avenue, Broadway, Brooklyn Bridge, etc.

The two wandered around that day and went to Times Square (Times Square) in Midtown Manhattan.

The square was originally named Longacre Square, but was later renamed Times Square because of the early New York Times headquarters building here.

This triangular area formed by the intersection of Seventh Avenue and Broadway Avenue can be described as extremely prosperous, gathering many Broadway theaters, a large number of dazzling neon tube advertisements and large advertising screens, known as the crossroads of the world.

Times Square has deeply become a symbol of New York, reflecting the strong urban characteristics of Manhattan, a financial city.

This is also the only area in New York City that requires owners to hang eye-catching publicity boards in the planning laws.

Approaching Times Square, you can see colorful neon lights and street performers everywhere.

There are countless large screens hanging on the building, playing news, song MVs, and TV programs at any time, enough to shock everyone's eyes.

Among them, the most famous one is the huge semi-cylindrical advertising screen of NASDAQ (NASDAQ).

Built in 1999, this super-large LED screen outside the Nasdaq Exchange building is known as the world's largest screen. The information displayed on it every day is the focus of global attention.

Whenever a new company name appears on this big screen, it means that another start-up company has been listed on NASDAQ.

Looking at the US stock information floating on the big Nasdaq advertising screen, Ma Liang was overwhelmed.

One day, he will bring his company to this place that countless business owners yearn for.

"What are you looking at? Stand still?" Seeing him stop, Jiang Yinqiu couldn't help asking curiously.

Ma Liang turned to look at the affectionate and righteous sister Jiang University, and said grandly: "Senior sister, look, this is NASDAQ.

Believe it or not, the names of my companies will appear here in a few years. "

"Well, I believe in you." Jiang Yinqiu became agitated inexplicably when he saw his lover's proud face.

For some reason, she was full of confidence in Ma Liang, and she didn't feel that he was bragging at all.

Ma Liang laughed loudly, and said cheerfully: "Senior sister, you will be my bell ringer when the time comes."

"That's my honor!" Jiang Yinqiu smiled, not to mention how happy he was.

After wandering around Times Square for a while, Ma Liang took Ms. University Jiang to go shopping again, shopping for her for a while.

After being separated for more than half a year, he had to pamper his wife after finally seeing each other.

"Look at you, what are you buying these for? I don't usually need them." Jiang Yinqiu looked at the pile of clothes and bags in his hands, feeling extremely headache.

If she really needs it, she has money herself, so there's no need for Ma Liang to buy it for her.

The pocket money given by the family is enough for extravagant consumption, not to mention that her lover keeps filling her small coffers every month.

Ma Lianghun didn't care, and hurriedly explained: "Are you forgetting? You just said yesterday that you will go to Goldman Sachs for an internship in two months. How can you do it if you don't have a decent outfit.

My boss Ma's daughter-in-law can't be looked down upon. "

Just like many super second generations, the family will pave the way early and make career arrangements in advance.

Don't look at Sister Jiang University who is still studying, considering her family background, arranging one or two days a week to go to Goldman Sachs for an internship is not a problem at all. All the famous families in China do this.

Otherwise, the financial industry is no longer a field that ordinary grassroots can get along with, because the best resources have been divided up by the second generation.

Even a financial oligarch like Goldman Sachs will do it deliberately.

After all, these large financial groups take the initiative to attract young elites from all over the world in order to advance their network resources.

In order to allow the Group's business to leverage on each country at any time and maintain a long-lasting foundation.

Don't think that only the ancestors of Huaxia know the thick black science and the emperor's mind, and the foreigners are not bad at playing with human nature.

But if you do a little research, you will find that many of China's top second generations have work experience in large investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

It was arranged in advance by Jiang's family to find contacts for Miss Jiang's internship.

Or her parents are very confident that their daughter will dump Ma Liang, a toad, but any other girl who has experienced the highest level of games in the world will never look down on a small businessman again.

It's a pity that Ma Liang is a bad guy, he is completely beyond the understanding of Jiang Yinqiu's parents.

Not only did Jiang Dajie fall in love with her more and more, but now she even slept directly on a bed, which is really a bit inappropriate.

"It's not in shape, I have to keep a low profile when I go to practice." Jiang Yinqiu replied coquettishly.

She has always hated publicity, and she is not used to wearing these big names to work.

Ma Liang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't do it, the financial industry is the place where wealth is most directly faced, let alone Wall Street.

There are a lot of snobbish people in the workplace here, and the richer they are, the more respected they are.

If you dress too poorly, you will definitely have a hard time during the internship.Maybe they are arranged to do odd jobs all day long, and they can't learn anything real at all.

It's better to show off your background strength in order to get more and better opportunities. "

"Nonsense, how can you be so exaggerated. You have never worked in Wall Street, where did you know so much?" Jiang Yinqiu obviously didn't believe his words.

Ma Liang shook his head helplessly, and replied angrily: "That's easy, you can try it yourself when you go back to practice.

Dress shabby for the first week, and see if anyone takes you seriously. "

"Hmph, I don't believe it. I will prove it to you when the time comes. I can get ahead by relying on my ability." Jiang Yinqiu still didn't care.

This is the case between lovers. They don't agree with each other in everything, and there are always some differences in concepts.

Occasionally a little bickering is also a kind of small taste.

It didn't take long for the two of them to have shopping bags hanging on their hands, and they couldn't carry anything anymore. Ma Liang's favorite daughter-in-law's shopping trip finally came to an end.

The two walked back with big bags and small bags, planning to find a place to have dinner first.

Walking on the streets of Times Square, you will see all kinds of large advertisements, and you can't help but look at them.

As we walked, the advertisement displayed on the big screen in one of the commercial buildings caught Ma Liang's attention.

[Welcome to South by Southwest 2007, Austin, Texas! ]
Ma Liang didn't take it to heart at first, but after taking two or three steps, the relevant information instantly recalled in his mind.

SXSW (South by Southwest) is a carnival held in Austin, Texas every year, consisting of three major fields: music, film and interactive multimedia.

This is a top event, he must go.
