Chapter 2607
Charlie drove the car to the administrative building of Aurous Hill University of Finance and Economics, and according to the room number informed by the security, came to the door of the office of the deputy dean of the School of Economics and Management.
After hesitating for a moment, Charlie knocked on the door.
After three beeps, Hank’s voice came from inside: “Please come in!
Charlie opened the door and walked in, and he saw Hank in a decent suit, wearing glasses and sitting at his desk reading information. A
few seconds . Later, he put down the file in his hand, looked up at Charlie, and was a little surprised.
Then he asked in surprise, “Charlie? Why did you come here?”
Charlie saw him look surprised. Knowing that he did not associate himself with the identity of the chairman of the Emgrand Group.
So he smiled slightly and said seriously: “Hello Professor Hank, I let Doris Young make an appointment with you on my behalf.
Huh?!’ Hank stood up suddenly and said in shock, “Is it the chairman of the Emgrand Group?!”
Charlie nodded and said calmly: “Yes, Professor Hank, I am indeed the chairman of the Emgrand Group.”
‘My Hank couldn’t help but exclaimed: “When I was running with your Aunt yesterday, she told me that you are a feng shui first. The identity of the chairman of the group seems to be a bit bad,
Charlie laughed. “The so-called Mr. Feng Shui is just a rumor among some friends in Aurous Hill. I have studied a little Feng Shui, but the overall business is relatively business and not enough. “
Speaking, he explained: “As for the identity of the chairman of the Emgrand Group, I also hope that Professor Hank can help me keep it secret. Even my wife and my father-in-law and mother-in-law do not know my identity. Don’t tell others, especially Aunt.
Hank couldn’t help asking: “I don’t know anything about this. With such a big identity, how did you hide it from your wife and your father-in-law? Did they know nothing about the entire process of establishing the Emgrand Group?
Charlie explained: “Even though the Emgrand Group is mine now, it was not founded by me. The Emgrand Group has been established for nearly 10 years, and I only took over it last summer. As for the family, it is mainly because of some individuals. The reason is not so convenient to tell them for the time being.
Hank was silent for a moment, nodded gently, and said: “Okay, I promise you not to tell anyone else about this, but I don’t know why you are looking for me today. What is it?
Charlie said seriously: “Ocean shipping has been gaining momentum recently. I personally want to invest in this business, but I have always suffered from not having a suitable managerial talent. With
that, Charlie looked at Hank and continued: “Doris Young introduced you to me, saying that you are very capable and respected by her, so I wanted to ask Professor Hank if you are interested in working with me. “
Hank listening, gently shook his head, sincere, said:” I’m sorry Yep, I went from teaching at MIT since that day, I had already decided to give up the work of the society. “
Charlie didn’t expect that Hank directly rejected himself as soon as he came up, so he asked: “Professor Hank, if it is about money, everything is actually very easy to talk about. You only need to say the number, and I will be satisfied.
Hank shook his head and said, “No, it’s not a question of money. It’s my personal decision. I have worked for several Fortune 500 companies for 20 years. Over the past 20 years, I have been racking my brains to think about how to help companies earn more. More profit, which makes me feel particularly meaningless and meaningless, so I decided to teach and use another way to prove my own value.”
Charlie asked puzzledly: “Help the company earn more Why does profit make you feel boring? Don’t you teach now to help the school cultivate more talents? I don’t think there is any absolute difference between the two.
Hank smiled slightly and said seriously: “Said To be honest, I am not a person who loves money very much.
Chapter 2608
With that, Hank said with some emotion: “In fact, after the money reaches a certain level, it doesn’t make sense to me. My life state must have been fixed since I earned half a million dollars a year, until I When I was able to earn 10 million U.S. dollars a year, my living standards and conditions were the same as when
I made half a million a year. Although I am not a rich person, I have worked for so many years and I have tens of millions of dollars. In addition, I have made some stock investments. I have a portion of Apple’s stock and Tesla’s stock in my hand. If all of them are discounted, it may cost US$200 to US$300 million. The Emgrand Group is incomparable, but I don’t know where to spend it.”
“The house I live in is not expensive, and all the investment is added up, and it’s about one million dollars, and I am not an expensive house I can’t afford it, but I think it’s too much trouble to live, and it’s not necessary.”
“The car I drove is a Tesla, which is the most common one. It is economical and environmentally friendly. The renminbi is less than 60,000
U.S. dollars. And my monthly expenses, only a few thousand U.S. dollars are enough, and this expense can be covered by my current salary alone. As for the rest Money can only be stored in a bank account. It has completely lost its liquidity. No matter how much money is made, it will be donated to charities in the future. So, for me, I feel that I might as well teach here. .
Charlie surprised and asked: “do not you prepared to give their children left a generous money?
Hank smiles:” I really have no idea of this, my daughter the same age as big as you, me and her living conditions Almost, it will make money, but it will not spend money at all, and there is no motivation to spend money at all
.
Charlie can’t help but feel a bit difficult when he hears this.
Hank is obviously not interested in money, and just wants to teach and educate people. What did he use to impress him and make him willing to do it with him?
Charlie thought about it, but didn’t think of a good way.
However, a black-and-white sketch on the wall of Hank’s office attracted his attention.
The simple strokes of the sketch only drew the shape of a tree. It doesn’t seem to be peculiar. Even most people find it difficult to distinguish the species of this tree by its shape.
But Charlie still looked at the painting and said with interest: “Professor Hank, did you draw this sketch by yourself?
Hank asked curiously: “How do you know? I didn’t sign on it either. .
what.
Charlie smiled and said, “Because I know this tree
“Oh?” Hank hurriedly asked him: “Since you know this tree, can you tell me something about it?
Charlie nodded and smiled: “Professor Hank, you draw This tree is actually a redwood tree in California, USA.”
Hank was taken aback, and Charlie continued: “Actually, this simple stroke of yours should be taken from the emblem of Stanford University. If I If you remember correctly, the pattern in the center of the Stanford University badge is such a red cedar tree.”
Hank asked in surprise: “Is Mr. Wade also graduated from Stanford?”
