Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 483 New Investment Project

"Hey, you help the family harvest wheat every summer when you go home? Your family is not short of money, why are you so cruel to you?" Back at the dormitory of Jiaotong University, several roommates couldn't bear to see him like this asked.

When they met for the first time, they thought that Li Yan had to help the family because his family was not in good condition, but when he turned around, he took out a Nokia mobile phone, a Dell laptop, and Ronaldo's limited edition sneakers. Make them a little confused.

Now that Li Yanyou came back from the summer vacation, his skin was tanned again. They were surprised that such a rich family still asked their children to help with farm work?
"I'm used to it. Someone has to do the work at home, and now I use machines, so it's not very tiring except for sun drying!" Li Yanyou grinned, showing his white teeth, "Where did you go during the summer vacation? ? Is there any new movement in the school recently?"

"I'll talk about the fun later, the school really has a big deal now! Doesn't our school have cooperative relations with many American universities? Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Pennsylvania all have them. Just now, the department posted on the school's official website A notice was sent out, saying that this year Yale has given our school two places for exchange students, and whoever is selected can go to Yale to exchange and study for a year. Now all the students in our department are trying to get a place. The resume when you graduate is too good, no matter which company you go to, they will rush to ask you! If you want to continue to study, it is easy to apply to American schools with this experience!" Chen Zheng said excitedly.

"Yale's business school is really good. It seems to be ranked No.15 in the United States this year, right? Hey, Yale has been unlucky these years. The ranking is high, so we probably don’t have this chance!” Huang Shaojie sighed again and again, “According to the experience of the previous sessions, the number of foreign exchange places will generally be considered comprehensively. I haven't taken the test yet, and my grade point is not in the middle of the class, I guess I have no chance."

"Our dormitory probably has a chance. His credit score has always been among the top three in the class. He took the IELTS test as a freshman, and his score is not low. Not to mention his usual performance, whether it is in the class or the student union. In the school, the teachers and classmates all praised him, and the organization of several activities is also very good; here, the scholarship list just announced by the department, Yan You won the first prize again this year, anyway, if this quota is given to him, I will definitely be convinced!" Teng Mingkai turned the computer screen over to show them.

"Ming Kai, you also have a chance. If you follow this standard, you can rank among the top three in our class. If you fight for it, you might be able to go there!" Li Yanyou glanced at the screen and said, Teng Mingkai's academic performance is not as good as his. In contrast, this year also won the first-class scholarship.

"You have more experience in the student union than I do, Song Mingmin also has, and her grade point is higher than mine, if you both sign up, my chances are not great! But it doesn't matter, anyway, we are going to exchange abroad professionally There are so many opportunities, I can’t go to Yale, I can go to Michigan or Boston, and then we can get together in the United States!” Teng Mingkai didn’t feel jealous because of this.

"Well, I guess if there are no accidents, you and Song Mingmin will get the seats this time." Huang Shaojie said, they are all students in the same class, and everyone knows each other's situation, so we will do some calculations according to the standards announced by the department , we will know who can get this spot.

"Yanyou, if you choose it, remember to treat your brothers to dinner!" Chen Zheng didn't care too much, it's not popular for dormmates to be fathers in college male dormitories nowadays.

"I have my own plans for this year, and I don't want to go to Yale for exchange. If you want to go, Ming Kai, you can sign up; if you want to treat guests, there is no delay. If you want to eat, we will go in the afternoon!" The practice of the male dormitory, whoever wins the scholarship, treats the guests For dinner, Li Yanyou won a first-class scholarship, so he must be a treat.

"No, yes, this is Yale! Yale's business school is so famous. It will be of great benefit to your future if you exchange for a year. At that time, whether you are looking for a job or applying for studying abroad, if there is such a thing on your resume, the probability of success will increase. It's not a little bit!" Teng Mingkai quickly persuaded, although he was also eager to get this opportunity, he didn't want his roommate to make a wrong choice.

"Yeah, do you have any arrangements that are more important than going to Yale for exchange studies? Are you embarrassed because Ming Kai competes with you? Actually, there is no need for this. Ming Kai is not a stingy person, and he has the opportunity to exchange studies in the United States It's not just this time, the business schools in Michigan and Boston are not bad even in the United States, and Ming Kai will look good on his resume when he goes there!" Chen Zheng and Huang Shaojie also helped persuade, the relationship between the four people in their dormitory is still very good not bad.

"Actually, I knew about this during my summer vacation. How about I persuade you to take the IELTS test as soon as possible? I really have other arrangements!" Li Yanyou got the news from Pei Xiaohong. This quota is basically guaranteed, but after thinking about it, I gave up.

Because this opportunity is dispensable to him, he wants to go to any university in the United States as an exchange student is a matter of one word, if that is the case, there is no need to take up the school's quota, just find a way to go there by himself, now this The process of the matter has almost gone, and it is estimated that the invitation letter from the American university will be sent in a few days.

"What arrangement?" Everyone asked curiously.

"It's also an exchange student program. I don't go through the school's channel. I sent a resume to the other party during the summer vacation, and then asked someone to write a recommendation letter. Overall, I feel that the hope is quite high; so if you go to Yale, Ming Kai, we still We can get together in the United States!" Li Yanyou did not reveal the name of the school for the time being.

"Hey, you have a lot of opportunities!" Seeing whether Li Yan would say anything, everyone didn't ask for the name of the target college, who to ask for a recommendation letter, etc. The big guys happily did it together Prepare, and then prepare to go to a small restaurant outside the school to celebrate.

Whether Li Yan chooses a good restaurant is not because he is stingy, but because the reason for the treat this time is that he got a scholarship. If it costs too much money, then Teng Mingkai, who also got a scholarship, will be very embarrassed, and When young people communicate, they value each other's feelings more, and there is no need to play those fancy things.

At the class meeting in the evening, the counselor also talked about the exchange students at the meeting, and announced more detailed screening requirements, such as credits and grade points must be ranked in the top ten of the class, no failing subjects, and an IELTS score of 7.5 or above is required Wait, so few people in the class can achieve it.

After confirming that Li Yanyou was really not interested, Teng Mingkai went to sign up. When he came back, he informed Li Yanyou that the counselor asked him to go. When he arrived at the counselor's office, the other party opened his mouth and asked, indeed, that the exchange student had signed up. Thing, "I heard from Teng Mingkai that you didn't intend to sign up? Why is that? With your grades and usual performance, you still have a great chance of winning the spot!"

"Teacher, I have already applied for exchange opportunities from other schools." Li Yan replied truthfully, and he did not hide his goal in front of the counselor, "I sent an email to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and the feedback so far is relatively good. , the chances of success are great, so there is no need to take up the quota in our department."

Wharton Business School is one of the top business schools in the world. Its professional ranking is ten places higher than Yale. It is definitely not easy for ordinary people to get in, but for Li Lei, it is a matter of one sentence. He just finds a few to write A letter of recommendation is enough. As for Li Yan’s safety, there is no need to worry. Although there have been competitions with the four major grain merchants these years, they are more cooperative. The four major grain merchants have recognized the strength of Huinong, and the two parties continue to fight Going on will only hurt both sides. Before the right time comes, everyone doesn't want to offend each other.

"Wharton Business School? They have cooperation with our school, but I haven't heard that there will be an exchange student quota this year!" After confirming this matter, the counselor stopped talking, and he could vaguely feel that it is not easy for Li Yan to have a family. , since he is ready, let him go.

After a while, Teng Mingkai and Song Mingmin, the best female voice in the class, got the opportunity to go to Yale as an exchange student for a year; many people who didn't know the truth felt sorry for Li Yanyou, but within a few days, Wharton The official letter from the business school arrived, inviting Li Yanyou to go to the United States for a two-year study. At this time, everyone realized that he had already had a better choice, no wonder he didn't compete with them for a place.

The plane landed at New York International Airport, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from Philadelphia, where the University of Pennsylvania is located. Li Yan planned to rest here for two days, experience the scenery of New York, and then go to the school to report. Met acquaintances.

"Brother Yanyou, here, here!" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was standing at the exit, bouncing around and beckoning to him.

"Qirun? Why did you come to New York too?" This little girl is his acquaintance, Xie Qirun, the granddaughter of Xie Zhengmin from Zhengda Group. She studied in a noble school in Xiangjiang since she was a child. The young people in the family also know each other.

"I'm about to graduate from high school, and I'm going to apply for schools in the United States. I heard from my uncle that Yan You's brother is going to study at Wharton Business School. It just so happens that this is also my backup option, so I want to go and see with Yan You's brother!" Xie Qirun I also had a good impression of Li Yan, so I made a special trip to pick him up at the airport.

So Li Yanyou followed Xie Qirun into the car, played with her in New York for two days, and then drove to the University of Pennsylvania. After the report, the two visited the school. Both were very satisfied with this prestigious school, "Brother Yanyou I want to study here for two years, right? Then I will apply here next year, and then I can be your junior, brother Yanyou will take good care of me!"

"Wharton Business School is really good. You can also ask more about the school on social software, so that you won't feel unfamiliar when you come to study here next year!" The elders who accompanied Xie Qirun also had a full face Smiling, she is very happy to see that the relationship between Xie's family and Li's family can go further. Both of them are mainly engaged in agriculture, and the complementarity between each other is too strong.

"No problem, I will not only introduce you, but if you have time to visit during the holidays, I will pick you up in New York!" Li Yanyou readily agreed.

After Xie Qirun left, Li Yanyou officially started his study journey at Wharton Business School. The teaching method here is very different from that in China. The course combines lectures, business case studies, group discussions and business operations. Li Yan also often invites important figures in the business world to come and talk about his personal experiences. These courses have benefited Li Yanyou a lot, and he has deepened his understanding of international business, especially American business.

This day, just after class, he received a call from Aunt Liu, "Yanyou, are you in Philadelphia now? Sissy is coming to New York in two days to attend a business event for "The King of Kung Fu". She wants to ask if you have any questions?" Time, can you take her around Penn?"

"I'm sorry, Aunt Liu. I'm going to visit Microsoft in two days. I can't be absent from an event arranged by the school. When will Sissy come to New York? I'll ask someone from the company to take care of it." Li Yanyou is getting more and more nervous now. The more I don't like her, the more I control my daughter too strictly, even going out on a date has to be mixed in the middle, it's really meaningless.

Li Lei also laughed when he knew these things. Sissy is indeed good-looking, but she is definitely not suitable to be a daughter-in-law. Among other things, there are not many people who can bear her mother.

"That little girl from the Xie family feels pretty good. Yan You seems to have a good relationship with her." When the child grows up, mothers like to pay attention to their relationship, and Yu Jingshu is no exception.

"Look at him, this kid is really good, but his family has been wealthy for several generations, and he is too far away from the life of ordinary people. I don't know if Yan You can get used to it." Li Lei has no need to let the child get married now, but If Li Yan really liked it, he wouldn't stop it.

"Hey, Jiayue is going to go to college too. In a blink of an eye, the children are all grown up and they are going to leave home. Thinking about it, I still feel a little bit reluctant!" Yu Jingshu sighed.

"Anyway, it's either the capital city or Shanghai. If you want to have a child, go and see it." Li Jiayue's grades are also very good, and basically the Qingbei resumption of diplomatic relations is the only option. As for which school to choose and which major to study, it's up to her. personal hobbies.

When going abroad, she is still the same as her brother, either studying for two years as an exchange student, or going abroad to study for a master's degree after graduating from a bachelor's degree, and she will definitely not go out at the beginning.

The next day Li Lei went to the company to start his daily work. After dealing with some routine affairs, he started to look through the emails sent by the venture capital company again, wanting to see if there were any good projects recently. In the end, he really found a follow-up Projects closely related to agriculture.
