Hezhou and Xiao Xin both have good family conditions, otherwise they would not have been able to study abroad, and now they can continue their doctoral and master's studies abroad.
One lives in Hai City and the other lives in Jing City. Both of them can be considered young masters of aristocratic families, but no matter how good their conditions are, they are not as rich as Lu Yiming's family.
Lu Yiming used to think that his family was well-off, but after coming abroad he realized that his family was only moderately well-off.
What he didn't know was that even if his mother didn't go to Hong Kong City to do business, the treasures collected in his mother's space could not only make their entire family live a comfortable life, but also allow their descendants to live a comfortable life as well.
This time his mother revealed some secrets to him, saying that she had made a lot of money in Hong Kong and bought a house there.
Lu Yiming opened the two suitcases, and Xiao Xin exclaimed, "Lu Yiming, what kind of fairy mother are you? Bird's nest, shark fin, cordyceps, and soft-boiled abalone, how did all this stuff get through customs?"
"I don't know, can't these pass?"
"I'm not sure either. Some foods can't pass security checks."
Lu Yiming didn't think twice about it. His mother had brought it to him anyway, so he would just eat it slowly.
Hezhou pointed to another suitcase and said with a smile: "Your mother is treating you like a child. It's full of snacks. There is only one good mother in the world. Lu Yiming, your mother is really good to you."
Lu Yiming raised the corner of his mouth, "Of course, I will always be my mother's little baby. Brother Zhou, Brother Xin, you can pick whatever you like to eat."
"Thank you very much. I've been eating fast food for over two years and haven't had any snacks in a long time. I want a bag of this pork jerky."
Hezhou took out a bag of pork jerky from the suitcase, and Lu Yiming took out a bag of biscuits and a box of chocolates and threw them to him, and also took out one for Xiao Xin.
"My mom asked us to take a break, go out for a walk, and have lunch outside at noon."
Xiao Xin asked Lu Yiming, "Now that your mother is here, do you want to work in a restaurant during the summer vacation?"
"Not for now. Didn't we agree to return to China and start a company together after graduation? We even took computer science courses specifically to plan for the future."
They came from the same country, chose the same major, rented a house together, worked together, and had such a good relationship that they could wear the same pants.
After seeing high-tech products from abroad, I wanted to bring these technologies into China and also wanted to develop computers and various electronic products on my own.
But reality dealt them a fatal blow. If they wanted to have their own patents, they would have to invest their own money in the research and development of some experimental projects.
Hezhou said dejectedly, "It's a pity that we don't have much money. With all the bonuses, part-time job earnings, and money sent by family, we only have less than $20,000."
Xiao Xin said, "Who says the US has high expenses? Actually, picking fruit on a farm pays more than being a waiter, but it's more tiring. If the school lab project is successful, the three of us should get a share of the money, right?
It’s a shame the patents aren’t ours, oh well… let them go to hell while we work so hard and those tech companies reap the rewards.”
Hezhou asked in return: "What else can we do? We are just students. Many projects in the school are controlled by capital. It would be great if we could set up our own laboratory."
"How can it be that easy?" Lu Yiming tore open a bag of candy and threw one to each of them. He continued while chewing, "My mom has money. I wonder if she would lend me some money if I asked her to."
Hezhou smiled and said, "Lu Yiming, how much do you plan to borrow from your mother? Otherwise, we can find a way to contact your family to send some money over?"
Xiao Xin wondered if he'd ask his parents for tens of thousands of yuan all at once. If his family truly ran out of money, would he sell his grandfather's antiques? Or his grandmother's shops?
In short, their family’s courtyard house will not be sold. After all, it is their ancestral home. Will they sell it and rent a house?
The three of them were eating snacks and chatting in the room. Su Yan made some breakfast in her space and changed into a pair of flat sandals.
After finishing her tidying up around half past ten, Su Yan went to the next door and knocked on the door, and Lu Yiming came out.
"Mom, Hezhou and Xiaoxin have gone back to their room. Come in and sit down. I have something to tell you."
"What happened to my son?"
"Mom, do you think I should work on a farm during the summer vacation? I heard the hourly wage is higher than what a Chinese restaurant pays."
"Have you been working in a Chinese restaurant before?"
"Yeah, because those big hotels usually don't hire temporary workers, so we can only look for them in places like fried chicken restaurants."
"Yiming, have you ever thought about using the knowledge you have learned to make money?"
"Yes, I want to make a fortune in the stock market, and I also want to run a lab with my classmates. Isn't it all because I don't have money?"
"Then do you have any understanding of the dynamics of the U.S. stock market?"
From 1979 to 1981, the United States' fiscal deficit led to a serious over-issuance of the US dollar, and it was hit hard by the second oil crisis. The domestic inflation rate exceeded 10% for three consecutive years, reaching 13.55% in 1980.
Even though the three major stock indices have risen in the past two years, the stock market is actually very dangerous and may collapse in the next few years."
Su Yan knew that although the stock market was affected this time, the real collapse of the United States would not occur until 1987.
"Son, how much does it cost for you to set up a laboratory outside?"
"At least one million is enough."
Su Yan thought it was better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish. Since her son wanted to set up a laboratory with his classmates, she might as well give him 500,000 yuan in capital and let him invest in stocks.
If they make money, they will have money to set up a laboratory. Failure is the mother of success, and if they lose money, they can just take it as experience.
"Yiming, since you want to invest in stocks, I'll lend you 500,000 yuan. You can pay me back after graduation."
"Mom, are you really willing to lend me money?"
"You're my son, why can't I lend you money? Whatever you want to do, as long as it's the right path, I'll support you. Whether you make money or lose money, don't worry, I'll back you up. Go ahead boldly."
Lu Yiming smiled and took Su Yan's arm and swung it like a child, "Mom, you are so kind. Are you my real mother?"
Su Yan sneered, "I'm not your biological mother. Did I pick you up from the trash? You little heartless person."
Okay, we'll talk about this in a couple of days. Today's task is for you and your classmates to be my tour guides and take me for a walk around the area."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go out now. I'll go next door and call Brother Zhou and Brother Xin."
Su Yan knew that Hezhou and Xiao Xin were both older than her son, but she was not sure how much older they were, and she also didn't know whether the two boys were married.
"Son, do you have a date in the United States?"
"Mom, the students here are very open-minded. I'm afraid of getting sick, so I don't date them. Besides, I don't have the ability to support a girlfriend. I'll wait a few years before dating."
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief that her son was a clean man. If he had messed around outside, there would be no point in continuing his studies.
