Chapter 636: Li Ye is better at making money than me, so he must be better at spending money than me
“Mom, Li Ye and I went to see the aircraft carrier yesterday and went shopping on Fifth Avenue when we came back.
Today we are going to visit Columbia University, and then go to Wall Street to accompany Li Ye to do internship research. I also have to write two reports on my experiences.”
< br>At eight o'clock in the morning, Wen Leyu called back to China due to jet lag and reported on his itinerary in the past two days. He said that he was not just out for fun, but continued to study during the trip.
This is also what Li said. As Li Ye repeatedly requested, he called home in a day or two to prevent Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng from thinking that Li Ye had "abducted" Wen Leyu.
Normally at this time, Wen Leyu would ask Li Ye to sit across from her and use a watch to tell the time for her.
Because long-distance calls to Lighthouse were very expensive, costing several dollars a minute, she was afraid that she would talk to her mother. When you are distracted, you cannot achieve the effect of "cutting off on time in fifty-five seconds".
Nowadays, many overseas tourists studying abroad do this. Some people even save a lot of money. They hang up immediately after getting through. If they do it twice in a row, they report to their families that they are safe.
Poor Li Ye, a billionaire who earns tens of thousands every minute, yet still has to act as an accurate stopwatch for his wife for a few dollars.
It is eight o'clock in the morning in New York and nine o'clock in the evening in Beijing, so Teacher Ke is not asleep yet.
She listened quietly to her daughter's report to her one by one, occasionally inserting a word or two of encouragement, and she felt quite good.
"Really? I've also heard of that big ship, but I haven't had the chance to see it. Xiaoyu, you are more experienced than me."
"Experienced is gained. But we were mistaken for Japanese stupid people three times in a row today. It’s true. Li Ye is so tall, and they also mistakenly admitted us.”
Wen Leyu complained to his mother for a few words, and suddenly looked up at Li Ye. He glanced at it, and then said depressedly: "Mom, do you think we should dress more modestly to avoid being mistaken again?"
"More plainly?"
Teacher Ke said in surprise: "If you are simple, you won't be recognized as a stupid person? How can you have such an idea?"
Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye again and said with a guilty conscience. : "We went shopping today. I didn't want to buy it because it was too expensive, but Li Ye bought a lot at once, and those people immediately asked Are we Japanese stupid people?
Li Ye said that the Japanese yen has appreciated now, so many Japanese stupid people in the lighthouse are spending money lavishly, so people think they are Japanese when they don’t know how to make money. Stupid person."
Teacher Ke on the other side of the phone paused, and then was silent for several seconds.
Li Ye, who was holding a watch to time the time, also lay on the table, tilted his chin and looked at Wen Leyu with a smile.
Wen Leyu is "complaining" to himself!
It is true that Li Ye and the two girls were mistakenly mistaken for Japanese stupid people in succession today, but Wen Leyu suddenly mentioned this to Teacher Ke. It is most likely because Li Ye gave the two girls this afternoon. Buying shoes.
Wen Leyu is a girl who keeps her word. If she wants to buy a pair of shoes for her sister-in-law Fu Yiruo, she will buy her a pair of shoes.
But when the two girls arrived at the luxury store on Fifth Avenue, they both changed their minds.
Luxury goods do not rip off the poor.
An ordinary pair of shoes costs hundreds of dollars, and the most beautiful ones cost several thousand dollars. Even Fu Yiruo felt embarrassed and insisted on saying, "No, it's a rip-off!"
Fu Guiru has treated Fu Yiruo as a "rich daughter" since she was a child, and the monthly pocket money she gives her is certainly large among her peers. But if she knew her daughter was so extravagant, scolding and scolding would be inevitable.
But Li. But Ye insisted on letting his daughter-in-law and sister try them on, and then started buying them all. "Except for this pair, I'll wrap them all up," Wen Leyu and Fu Yiruo couldn't stop you.
You want it. Asked why Li Ye is so rich?
On some websites, high heels and black stockings are classified as separate categories. Why do you think this is the case?
Wen Leyu looks good after wearing it! The calf was straight and straight, and Li Ye's heart was pounding even though his mental age was several dozen years old. Doesn't this man have to spend his money wisely?
Look at it when Xiaoyu and Xiaoruo tried it on, they obviously liked it very much, right? So what other reasons are there for being stingy?
After being silent, Teacher Ke also lowered his voice and asked his daughter: "Xiaoyu, are you having trouble with Li Ye? Do you think Li Ye is spending money randomly?"
"No."
"Why is that? Tell me?"
"I just don't have it"
"."
Teacher Ke was really shrewd and calculated, and he guessed Wen Leyu's thoughts right away, but Wen Leyu didn't admit it. He looked at Li Ye again.
Li Ye, who was lying on the table, moved his chin and rested it on his other arm. He looked at his wife with interest. The smile on his face made Wen Leyu even more uneasy.
This is the first time that Wen Leyu has expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Ye's behavior!
In the past, no matter what decision Li Ye made, Wen Leyu would unconditionally support it, occasionally muttering a few words, but never seriously objecting.
In other words, this was the first time that Wen Leyu officially "sulked" with Li Ye. On the way back in the car, Wen Leyu kept a straight face and did not talk to Li Ye for a long time!
But Xiao Nizi obviously didn't want to get into trouble with Li Ye, so she took advantage of the phone call with her mother to express her protest to Li Ye in a subtle way - don't be so lavish, or else I'll call you mom.
But this time, Teacher Ke stood on Li Ye's side.
Teacher Ke on the other end of the phone said softly: "Xiaoyu, you are definitely better than Li Ye in some aspects. I can be sure of this. Even many of Li Ye's ideas are not as mature as yours,
But there is one thing, as long as it involves the issue of 'money', you have to learn from Li Ye humbly,
And what she spends now is her own money, do you understand? We don’t spend the country’s money. We can spend it as we like, and we can spend it on whoever we want.”
“I also know these truths, but” Wen Leyu hesitated and said tangledly: "Li Ye knows how to make money, so he knows how to spend money. I'm not as good at making money as Li Ye, so I'm definitely not as good at spending money as he is. , so I also know that I should listen to Li Ye, but... alas~"
Wen Leyu sighed, and his voice suddenly became deeper: "Mom, actually I arrived in Hong Kong from that day I started feeling a little bored when I first arrived at the island. Over the past few days since I arrived at the lighthouse, I’ve become more and more bored.”
"I know that overseas countries are more developed than us, but I didn't expect that development has reached this level. When Pei Wenhui and I were in Beijing, she always avoided discussing our 'backwardness'."
"Today we are here When we were shopping on Fifth Avenue, the clerk still smiled when she asked us if we were Japanese, but when we said we were from mainland China, she stopped smiling. She didn’t despise us, but she just stopped smiling.”
“I last night When I couldn't sleep, I always thought, why are we so far behind? We are obviously working hard."
"So I was thinking, should we use the money the most? where it should be used, Li Ye has been talking about investing in factories in the mainland, so I wonder if we should save a little."
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye with obvious shame, as if he was blaming himself for not interfering. Li Ye's "right to spend money."
When Li Ye sent a telegram to Wen Leyu, which was as eloquent as a letter, Wen Leyu said very seriously that "it cannot be wasted."
But later after learning about Li Ye’s ability to make money, Wen Leyu didn’t bother much. After all, his man was capable, so why spend two dollars? And they still spend it on their own people.
But when she followed Li Ye out this time and saw the gap between overseas and the mainland, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Li Ye sat up straight, suppressed his smile, stretched out his arms, and gently touched Wen Leyu's head.
【These are the people of the 1980s! 】
In the study abroad circles in the 1980s, a story once circulated.
A government-sponsored student studying in Japan broke down and cried while standing on the streets of Shibuya, Tokyo. He couldn’t understand why the mainland was the winner, but why did the Japanese surpass the mainland by so many? What should he do? Change all this?
If you talk about "family, country and world" to children in a few decades, few people may be willing to pay attention to you, but there are still some stubborn people in Wen Leyu's group.
They may not be the smartest or the best, but they are the most stubborn. When others are running away, they take root in the mainland and struggle silently.
And when the mainland becomes the second largest economy 40 years later, these white-haired stubborn people recall the angry shouts of the 1980s, and they don’t know whether they are sad or happy, sour or sweet.
Li Ye thought that someone with Wen Leyu's background would not be so "silly", but now it seems that Xiao Nizi is still a bit "silly".
In other words, Wen Leyu was "kidnapped" by some kind of responsibility.
"Xiao Yu, your idea is right, but Li Ye must have his reasons. He can't be too shabby when he spends all day with people like Pei Wencong."
Teacher Ke persuaded Wen Leyu again, Then the conversation changed: "What did you do today? How much did you spend?"
Wen Leyu was feeling the caress of Li Ye's palm, and said smoothly: "It cost more than 50,000 yuan. It’s all over”
"."
There was silence on the phone for five or six seconds, and then Teacher Ke asked calmly: "What did you buy for 50,000 or 60,000?"
Wen Leyu felt something was wrong. , but still replied obediently: "Buy shoes."
"What else?"
"Just shoes. I also ordered a pair for mom, more than four thousand."
"."
Teacher Ke was silent again, and this time for a long time.
"U.S. dollars?"
"U.S. dollars. But mom, there are many limited editions that are said to be more expensive. A pair costs tens of thousands. Things here are too expensive."
< br>Wen Leyu suddenly panicked. She felt like she had done something wrong.
Teacher Ke's voice sounded faintly: "I bought shoes today, are you going to buy clothes tomorrow?"
Wen Leyu shook his head, shook Li Ye's palm away, and opened his eyes. Blingbuling blinked rapidly.
"We won't buy anything anymore. We will go to Silicon Valley in San Francisco soon. Li Ye has analyzed it and there should be many opportunities to make money there. We can make millions."
< br>“Dududu~”
“Hey, hey, hey~”
The call was interrupted. I don’t know if there was a problem with the long-distance line or if Teacher Ke over there hung up.
