Chapter 384: Accidental
For the next week, the old man and the young man came to the stock trading hall almost every day without fail.
On the 2nd of the month, the company's stock price had fallen to 1 pound.
Lin Siqiao didn't even blink and directly asked the trader to buy 20,000 shares.
If she hadn't had to keep some money aside for backup, she would have almost invested it all.
"Won't you wait any longer?" Mr. Shi asked with a smile.
Lin Siqiao shook his head. "No more waiting. Stocks can't be bought at the lowest price, nor can they be sold at the highest price. I only buy at the price that suits my heart."
Mr. Shi has been trading stocks for many years, but this is the first time he has seen a child with such clear ideas.
Be decisive, but not greedy.
What’s important is that she has the ability to know when to buy and when to sell, which is the most valuable thing.
Lin Siqiao had no idea that Mr. Shi was praising him to this extent in his heart.
Thinking that Mr. Shi had given him a lot of advice during this period, Lin Siqiao specially invited Mr. Shi to have lunch.
After finishing the meal, Lin Siqiao said, "Mr. Shi, I won't come here starting tomorrow."
Mr. Shi was already used to it. He would come to her at nine o'clock every morning to talk about stocks. When he heard this, he hurriedly asked.
"Why, you want to go back?"
Lin Siqiao waved her hand. It was at this moment that she remembered.
During this period, the topics she and Mr. Shi talked about were basically about stock trends, and the two of them never mentioned any personal matters.
"It's not about returning home, it's about our school starting tomorrow."
Before Lin Siqiao had the chance to tell others that he was a government-sponsored overseas student, he heard Mr. Shi asking.
"Little girl, which school are you from?"
"Cambridge."
Mr. Shi was stunned, and his emotions were obviously fluctuating. "So what department are you studying in?"
Lin Siqiao said, "Economics, and I will also take a minor in physics."
When he heard that Lin Siqiao studied economics, Mr. Shi smiled even more happily.
"It's good to study economics. As long as you learn economics well, it will be good for you and the country."
"Mr. Shi, who are you?"
Lin Siqiao had a vague guess. She always felt that Mr. Shi’s knowledge and vision were not like those of an ordinary stock investor.
Many of his ideas and insights are quite advanced.
Lin Siqiao just took advantage of the information gap in time, otherwise she would not be able to show off her skills in front of Mr. Shi.
At this time, Mr. Shi took out a business card from his jacket pocket and pushed it over.
When Lin Siqiao saw the business card that read "Visiting Professor at Cambridge University, Teaching Economics", there was nothing he didn't understand.
So, she met her mentor by accident?
Mr. Shi did want to be her teacher, but it was not something he could accomplish just by thinking about it.
Taking advantage of the free time now, Mr. Shi told Lin Siqiao about the situation at Cambridge University in advance.
Firstly, it would save her from being caught blindly when she went there tomorrow, and secondly, Mr. Shi also had some selfish motives.
Of course, it is best to keep such a good seedling under your own nose.
It was only after listening to Mr. Shi’s introduction that Lin Siqiao learned that Cambridge University now implements a college system, and the entire university is composed of 30 colleges.
This college is different from those in China because each college has its own school emblem, school motto and school song, and the students it accepts are not studying a single major.
In other words, the college here is actually equivalent to a subsidiary university.
Mr. Shi said, "Theoretically, these 30 colleges can accept the two majors you studied."
But he still suggested that Lin Siqiao give priority to St. John's College where he was studying.
Of course, Mr. Shi also gave her several reasons why she had to choose it.
First, the Department of Economics is the flagship major of St. John's College. In addition to Professor Shi, there are three other experts in economics who teach daily.
Secondly, the cafeteria at this college is cheap, with an average meal costing 2 to 3 pounds, while the average price at other colleges is 6 to 8 pounds.
Hearing the price, Lin Siqiao couldn't help but be shocked. A meal cost 4 pounds less, which would be more than ten pounds a day.
The monthly allowance for overseas students is 150 pounds, which is enough to afford enough food at St. John's College. If they go to other colleges, they will have to eat dirt.
Lin Siqiao was not unable to afford food, but she was more concerned about the problem of housing.
"You don't have to worry about that. More than two-thirds of the rooms at St. John's College are single rooms with private bathrooms, and accommodation is free."
"If you go to other colleges, you have to pay a separate fee of 25 pounds per month."
"By the way, St. John's College has a theater, and you can get two free movie tickets every month with your student ID."
“In addition to this there is a laundry, gym, garden, swimming pool, cafe, tennis courts, squash courts, and various societies.”
After hearing this, Lin Siqiao had no choice but to think about it. She would not go anywhere else except St. John's College!
She was just a little surprised. They were all colleges under the University of Cambridge, so why was there such a big gap between them?
Mr. Shi smiled and asked, "Why not?" It’s because the Department of Economics has many outstanding alumni.
Every year, St John's College receives millions of pounds in anonymous donations.
Most of this money was spent on the construction of the college and students.
Speaking of this, Mr. Shi remembered something.
"I forgot to tell you that the scholarships offered by St. John's College are unmatched by other colleges."
In his words, there is money for both big and small exams.
As long as you have good grades, earning thousands of pounds in a semester is like a piece of cake.
Lin Siqiao's eyes lit up when she heard this. If that was the case, she felt it wouldn't be impossible for her to learn a few more subjects.
Next, Mr. Shi mentioned the course schedule of St. John's College to Lin Siqiao.
The two chatted until after two o'clock in the afternoon. If the waiter hadn't said that their restaurant was about to close, the two would have continued chatting.
