American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 409 Return to school
"Boss, thank you for your support to the shoe factory. I can't imagine what would happen to the shoe factory without you..."

As soon as Steve entered the office, he expressed his highest gratitude to Mike and looked very excited.

But it's understandable~
His family's small shoe factory has been in business for hundreds of years, and his ancestors have been doing this for generations. From the initial small workshop to the current small factory, the Madden family has spent a lot of effort.

However, because of the previous outrageous actions of Jordan and Donny, both the people and the factory were almost destroyed.

Don't doubt those stock investors who have lost all their fortunes. If it really comes to that, they can do anything.

So, it can be said that it was the King Group’s angel investment that saved the shoe factory and Steve.

Mike still remembers the thin young man with curly hair in front of him. When he came to solicit sponsorship, he brought a complete set of tools and was ready to demonstrate his shoemaking skills on site.

When Mike met such an honest and skilled person, he didn't think much about it and loaned him some money to help him through the difficult times.

Just looking at the performance report, the other party's small shoe factory is developing well now. What are they doing here this time?

Mike glanced at Jesse who brought him in, and the girl shrugged to indicate that she didn't know either.

"Okay, Steve, I received your thanks. Is there anything else?" Mike stopped the young man who was endlessly thanking.

"Well, the main reason I came here this time is to express my gratitude. It's you who kept the shoe factory alive..." Steve was still expressing his gratitude.

It seems that Mike still underestimated the status of the ancestral shoe factory in Steve's heart.

"There's no need to say thank you. Just running the shoe factory well will be your way of thanking me." Mike interrupted the other party's thanks again.

He was not really doing charity. The reason why he was willing to spend millions to buy the largest share of the small shoe factory was because he saw the development prospects of the shoe factory.

So it is not wrong to say that Steve is helping Mike by running the shoe factory seriously.

"By the way, boss, the shoe factory will be able to go public for the second time in a while. In order to avoid the bad impression during the first listing, I plan to register a new name for the leather shoes. What do you think would be a better name?" Before leaving, Steve suddenly thought of an important thing.

Only by going public can the shoe factory expand its influence and make more money. This was the plan Mike made when he invested.

The shoe factory that is now welcoming a second listing is no longer the small workshop it once was. In order to differentiate itself from the past, it is indeed necessary to give it a new brand name.

"Change the brand name? Let's call it Crocodile, it sounds good." Mike directly gave the leather shoe factory a unique name.

Yes, Steve's shoe factory was previously called Cartier. If no one intervenes, it will still be renamed Crocodile in a few years.

Later, this company's leather shoes will be sold all over the world.

Mike took advantage of the information gap and invested in advance.

"Crocodile Shoes! What a great name~" Steve agreed with a smile.

As for what is good, he actually doesn't know, but what the boss likes must be good.

……

"When Jordan comes to work in the company, let him first participate in the work related to the listing of Crocodile Shoes. If he performs well, you can try to let him join the management team..."

After seeing Steve off, Mike discussed the future work arrangements with Chris.

Now that the King Group framework has been established, Chris and Jesse are responsible for controlling the general direction, and the management team helps them share the tasks.

A talent like Jordan is definitely suitable to be a helmsman. But this kind of thing can't be rushed, and it needs more tests.

On the other side, Jordan drove back home and happily hugged Naomi when he saw her.

"What happened? Is it something good?" Naomi felt that the man was very different from when he went out.

"It's really good. We don't have to run away. My troubles will be solved soon..." Jordan shared the good news with his girlfriend and also told her about his job at King Group.

Without the harassment from FBL and other departments, the couple can finally live a good life.

"King Group? Then you must work hard in the future and don't get involved in those messy things again." After experiencing many twists and turns, Naomi knows that a happy life is not easy to come by.

"Don't worry, I will work hard and down-to-earth in the future, even for the sake of our unborn child..." When talking about the child, Jordan's face was full of happiness.

After experiencing ups and downs, this man finally returned to his family.

……

More than a week later, the almost forgotten Wall Street fraud finally came to an end.

The perpetrator, Jordan Belfort, voluntarily admitted his crime and actively cooperated with the subsequent work of the relevant departments.

After the assets were liquidated, taxes and fines were paid, and the remaining money was returned to Crocodile Shoes, now Crocodile Shoes, Jordan was granted the right to extrajudicial bail.

After all the calculations, Jordan lost his big villa and a series of luxury goods, and was left with only a few hundred thousand dollars.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars is indeed nothing compared to half a billion in assets, but it is enough for Jordan to prepare for his fiancée's pregnancy.

Yes, after things calmed down and he regained his legal status, Jordan successfully proposed to Naomi.

The two plan to get married on Christmas Day this year, which is just over a month away. On the other hand, Mike, who helped Jordan escape from prison, returned to campus after gaining talent for the company.

With winter break approaching, he now urgently needs to make up his credits.

On the Columbia University campus, with the development of college football, basketball and other leagues, the big guy Michael of the school football team, the werewolf Scott of the school basketball team and the young Mark who returned to youth, all quickly became famous sports stars in the university leagues.

It has to be said that the admission of special students does help to enhance the university’s reputation.

For example, among the three people mentioned above, except Scott who was admitted to Columbia University based on his academic performance, the other two were admitted to Columbia University as sports students.

These three freshmen at Columbia University are almost becoming Columbia University's external business cards because of their outstanding performance in the university sports leagues.

Columbia University has enjoyed the benefits of recruiting students with special talents, and other universities will naturally not lag behind.

As a result, the more famous the university is, the more it likes to recruit outstanding students with special talents. Every year, these universities have reserved about 10% of their places for students with special talents in sports and arts.

So, even in famous universities, there are many people who don’t like studying.

"Are you asking me to help you with your academic subjects or to join the college football team?" Mike, who had just finished a day of classes on leave, looked speechlessly at Big Michael, who had the same name as him.

The other party is considered a representative figure of Columbia University's sports students.

"Yes, my academic teacher told me that if I don't pass the academic test, I won't be allowed to participate in the next college football league..." Big Michael said his situation in a naive way, and then continued: "Help me Mike, or help the team..."

Unlike the school basketball team which has the twin stars Scott and Mark, Columbia University's football team this year only has Big Michael as its mainstay.

If Big Michael cannot play in the quarterfinals, Columbia University's football league this year is destined to stop in the quarterfinals.

But for Mike, it was definitely impossible to play football again. It was a bit presumptuous for him, who had reached the extraordinary level 2, to compete with ordinary people.

Mike said: Even if you are pretending to be a boss, you can't do it this way.

So Mike looked at Collins next to him. As Michael's sister, she had passed the academic performance test of Columbia University.

"I have coached Big Michael, but the results were not ideal..." As if she had thought of something terrible, the girl quickly shook her head.

"Not ideal? How many points is the difference?" Mike asked.

"It's just... after my guidance, Big Michael got 0 points in the cultural subjects test last week." Collins looked away, seeming to find this matter embarrassing as well.

Zero points? It is impossible to get zero points even if you select the same option for multiple-choice questions.

This made Mike realize the difficulty of guiding Big Michael's academic performance. No wonder Collins looked so resistant before.

Judging from the results, Big Michael has no cells in his brain for learning academic subjects.

"How about this, Big Michael, you go find the school director and ask him to approve a note that says you don't have to study academic subjects. Or you can ask the school director to talk directly to your academic teacher." Mike didn't think of challenging the hellish difficulty of tutoring Big Michael, but found a relatively reliable way for him.

After all, as long as the school directors are not stupid, they will make the right choice between the school football team's performance and Big Michael's academic performance.

"Okay, Caroline. See you tomorrow too~"

After Big Michael left, Mike took Peggy and Collins to say goodbye to the eldest daughter of the Channing family.

On this day, the eldest daughter of the Channing family almost glued her eyes to Mike.

Moreover, the other party was a "specially recruited" student of Columbia University. Mike was afraid that if he didn't leave, the other party would ask him to help her with her studies.

As his own strength and assets increase, Mike no longer values ​​the Channing family as much.

At most, when old Channing's "Down Business Scam" collapses, Mike will pay more attention to Caroline when he is buying at the bottom.

"Mike, there will be an academic exchange meeting between universities next week. This time, the University of Texas is joining forces with Columbia University. Do you want to go?" After getting into the car without any outsiders, Peggy in the passenger seat asked.

Although college sports leagues are in full swing now, research in the academic field is equally important to each university.

Here I have to talk about Peggy. When Mike went to carry out the mission of the Men in Black Organization, the little girl was not idle either.

In more than two months, she published two academic papers in a row through authoritative literary newspapers - "Advanced Mathematics and Network Programming" and "Network Artificial Intelligence Hypothesis".

In this era when the Internet had just emerged, these two articles were tantamount to pioneering network intelligent engineering.

"Go to the University of Texas to see young Sheldon? Not interested!" Mike shook his head.

He has a study plan for the next month, until the Christmas holiday.

By the end of this semester, I will finish all the courses in four years of Columbia University. Next year, I will go to graduate school and get more doctoral degrees if necessary.

With an extremely high IQ of nearly 200, it is not difficult for him to accomplish these goals.

"Okay, I'll say hello to little Sheldon for you..." As if she had thought of something interesting, the smile on Peggy's face was a little sinister.
