Chapter 49 Have Faith in Me
After all, policies are changing all the time, and the uncertainty of the future forces her to prepare in advance.
"After all, university was free before, but they suddenly started charging tuition last year."
Li Tingting recalled the past days and couldn't help but sigh at the changes in society.
The good old days are gone forever.
"Policies can change at any time. It's possible that tuition fees will increase year by year."
Her words revealed a cautious attitude towards the future.
She knows that only by preparing ahead can she cope with various challenges in the future.
"Besides, I've graduated from college and want to continue my studies."
Li Tingting looks forward to her future studies.
Her goal is not just to complete her studies, but to continuously pursue higher knowledge.
"I earn my own money and spend it myself. I can study however I want, regardless of whether my family agrees or not."
Her words were full of autonomy and determination.
She doesn't want to be bound by her family's expectations and hopes to live the life she wants through her own efforts.
"The manor's annual income is 9,600 yuan! With such a great opportunity, I must earn some money first."
Li Tingting's words revealed a firm confidence.
This income is a considerable fortune for her and an important step towards her future.
When Li Tingting said this, Shen Yan suddenly remembered that year when everything seemed to start to increase in price.
Both materials and wages have increased.
Society changes so rapidly that people are caught off guard.
A house that currently costs 500 yuan per square meter will gradually increase to 2,000 yuan, 4,000 yuan, and finally to nearly 100,000 yuan per square meter.
She couldn't remember the exact year when the price started to increase, but she only remembered that many people were queuing up to buy things at that time.
The rising prices during that period made many people anxious, but Li Tingting was well prepared.
There are long queues in front of supermarkets and stores from morning to night, with people waiting to buy their daily necessities.
Whether it is the first ray of sunshine in the morning or the last rays of light in the evening, you can see people waiting in line in the cold wind or under the scorching sun with anxious or helpless expressions.
At that time, she worked in a private restaurant, where her food and accommodation problems were solved, so she did not join the endless queue.
However, she heard some incredible things through gossip among colleagues.
Some people bought several boxes of vinegar, soy sauce, laundry detergent and soap at one time. In addition, they also stored large quantities of cooking oil, salt, rice and other daily necessities.
Some people even worry about the lack of cooking utensils in the future and buy multiple pots in advance as a backup in case of emergency.
Not only has the procurement of supplies become tense, but every corner of the city, including those banks that are not very conspicuous on weekdays, is crowded with people coming to withdraw money every day.
They fear missing out and being left vulnerable to rising commodity prices.
After all, no one wants to see their savings become worthless overnight.
Therefore, driven by this widespread sense of concern, more and more people have begun to join this "withdrawal war", hoping to seize the last chance to turn their money into more stable assets before prices soar further.
During this process, some smart people took the opportunity to stock up on home appliances, intending to make a profit by reselling these in-demand goods.
However, as time went on, when everything gradually calmed down, these people who once dreamed of getting rich found that the market did not develop as they expected.
On the contrary, due to the decline in demand and the sufficient supply, products that were originally purchased at high prices had to be disposed of at prices far below cost, which completely shattered the dreams of many people to get rich.
Despite a brief period of chaos, market prices have finally stabilized.
However, compared with the past few years, the overall consumption level has increased significantly.
Recalling the situation two years ago, the price of pork was only 1 yuan per pound, but now it has risen to 3 yuan.
This has caused many families to feel that the pressure of life has increased significantly.
According to her recollection, in the next few years, the price of meat in the city of Shanghai will reach an unprecedented high - twelve or thirteen yuan per pound.
Unexpectedly, Li Tingting had foreseen this problem in advance and expressed great concern about it.
After listening to her description, Shen Yan suddenly realized that if she kept holding the money in her hand without taking any action, then as the impact of inflation intensified, the actual purchasing power of the funds on hand would inevitably shrink significantly.
Therefore, in order to cope with future uncertainties and maintain the security of your own financial situation, changes must be made now.
The best way is to convert the cash in hand into fixed assets with long-term value, or use it as the basic capital for future venture capital investment.
She asked curiously, "Tingting, what major do you plan to study?"
Li Tingting was silent for a moment, then replied, "I want to study law."
Song Weiwei showed an expected expression on her face. "I knew you were best suited for this major. You're so eloquent. It would be a waste if you didn't study law."
Li Tingting glared at her, and Song Weiwei immediately shut her mouth, not daring to even breathe.
Shen Yan thought about it, and a look of anticipation appeared on her face, "Tingting, I also want to study law, can you teach me?"
"I can give you the tuition."
Shen Yan added that she knew that the law was equally important to her and she needed to have some understanding in this area.
Even if Li Tingting couldn't teach her much, it was nice to have a study partner.
Hearing this, Li Tingting looked at Shen Yan in surprise, "I haven't learned it myself yet, how can I teach you?"
She is not very confident in her level.
Shen Yan shook her head, her eyes determined, "I'll learn the same way you usually do."
She thought that no matter what, Li Tingting must know much more than her.
“And you have to have confidence in yourself.”
Shen Yan continued, her voice filled with encouragement, "No matter how busy you are, you can persist in reading and studying on your own every day. This kind of perseverance is not possessed by everyone."
“If you can’t learn it, no one can.”
Shen Yan further emphasized, her tone full of trust in Li Tingting.
"I can definitely learn a lot from you."
Shen Yan concluded, her eyes gleaming with a thirst for knowledge.
Li Tingting thought about it and finally made a hard decision. "Study with me. I won't show any mercy to you. When it's time to scold, I will criticize you without hesitation."
Shen Yan smiled and did not flinch because of the other party's harsh attitude, "We are not that fragile, don't worry."
Li Tingting snorted, feeling somewhat helpless but also somewhat accepting. "It's up to you."
