Chapter 8 Deep Talk on a Rainy Night
It was only half past seven in the evening when Qiao Yu sent Lan Jie out.
The two parties have not yet reached a consensus, but Lan Jie also saw that the mother was not the one who made the final decision in the family.
Although the two people behind them were talking in Korean, he really couldn't understand anything, but he could tell who was stronger. So it's better to chat with Qiao Yu alone to save the two of them from showing off their foreign languages in front of him.
What made him depressed was that it rained harder at night, and Qiao Yu didn't take an umbrella, obviously not intending to send him back to school. So when he reached the entrance of the corridor, Lan Jie stopped.
"Let's talk?"
Qiao Yu stopped silently and stared at the raindrops falling under the street lights outside.
"I'm curious. You and your mother are both very good at foreign languages? How do you do that?" Lan Jie asked.
Get closer first, of course, to satisfy your curiosity.
“In the past few years, I couldn’t go out, and I was idle. I heard that I could make money by working as a subtitle group, so I started learning foreign languages with my mother. Who knew that I had almost learned foreign languages? It’s too late to start this business, but all the subtitle crews have been arrested. What a world, translating a movie is also a crime.”
Qiao Yu sighed with emotion in a tone that was totally inappropriate for his age.
"During that time, did you learn both English and Korean?" Lan Jie asked in disbelief.
"There is also Japanese. I have done market research and it turns out that these three languages are the most popular among subtitle groups. However, I am not proficient in Japanese for daily use. I can listen to Japanese dramas with ease." Qiao Yu He answered very humbly.
"Market research?" Lan Jie silently repeated this familiar term in his heart, feeling very sad.
What this involution world has forced a child to do. After being unable to go out at all, it should have been three or four years ago that primary school students knew how to do market research?
"What about your mathematics? Being able to master Vedic theorem proficiently is not what a junior high school student needs to learn."
Lan Jie guided the topic to what he wanted to know most.
"Mathematics..." When this topic was mentioned, Qiao Yu also sighed a little, and then complained: "This thing is so difficult to learn! It's of no use."
After listening to this In short, Lan Jie really resisted the urge to clenched his fists and punched the young man in the head.
Is it useless to complain about math in front of the math teacher?
besides? Difficult to learn?
Fortunately, Qiao Yu probably realized that this complaint was not quite right. He looked up at Lan Jie with a shy smile and immediately explained.
"When I was learning English, I downloaded a movie called "Jerry and Maggie Live Richly". Have you seen it?"
Ran Jie shook his head blankly, no. Too can understand why mathematics can be connected with movies.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it. The story is probably about an old man who retired after working all his life. He is very good at mathematics. Through mathematics, he calculated that there are loopholes in the lottery. As long as certain conditions are met, the buyer can win The key is that this movie is said to be based on reality.
I thought it was quite interesting, so I borrowed a math book from someone and started studying on my own. I thought maybe I would be able to find some loopholes in the actuary's work in the future that I could exploit. But later I discovered that trying to exploit this loophole was a fantasy. If I really wanted to buy it, I would only lose money but not make any profit. Moreover, the more I learned, the harder it became, so I gave up. "Qiao Yu explained in a calm tone the reason why he seemed to have a lot of experience in mathematics.
Looking at Lan Jie's complicated expression, he added: "He helps people solve problems at the Internet cafe. The question is because I have been studying for so long and it is such a loss not to make a penny. I definitely won't do it next time. ”
Lan Jie realized that this kid was obsessed with money.
So whether he was learning foreign languages or mathematics, the first thing that got him interested was to make money. Not to mention that he failed to do it, but his purpose was very clear, it was really to apply what he had learned
If you find you can't make any money, give up immediately.
Lan Jie was even embarrassed to accuse the child of being short-sighted.
After all, I am only in the third grade of junior high school, and I have not yet formed a complete outlook on life and world view. It is just for my family to live a better life. Even this little guy actually did it. At Qiao Yu's age, let alone supporting his family, if he wants to go to KTV with his friends to yell at his father, he has to ask his father for money...
But the most terrifying thing is that Lan Jie always feels that this child On the verge of crime.
As we all know, the ways for ordinary people to make money quickly are written in the criminal code. If Qiao Yu didn't go to high school and entered the society directly, he wouldn't dare to think of the outrageous money-making strategies this little guy could come up with.
The sense of responsibility of the teacher's profession burst out at this moment
"Do you think there is a possibility? It is true that one can make money if he is good at mathematics, and he can make a lot of money?"
Qiao Yu raised his head and glanced at Lan Jie, nodded briefly, and replied: "I I believe it, but the price-performance ratio is not high. Mathematics becomes more and more difficult to learn. If I have time to study, I should be able to earn more by doing something else.”
This answer is terrifyingly rational, but Lang Jie’s answer is terrifying. At this time, he was getting more and more frustrated, and his thinking was as sharp as ever. He also felt that he was terrifyingly strong at this time.
"Oh, what if I tell you that your current mathematics level is enough to allow you to earn a bonus of 100,000 yuan a year, or even more? And there is no risk. In addition, what I want to tell you is, Do you really think the current method of making money is risk-free?”
"What risks are there in playing games?" Qiao Yu frowned slightly and asked.
“I don’t know much about the law, and I haven’t consulted a lawyer yet, but if you think about it carefully, are all those rich brothers you talk about so easy to mess with? They really have to take it seriously, a fraud , I think it is indispensable.
Even if you are not yet a minor. , even if it is really suspected of committing a crime, what about the future? Not to mention how fierce the competition is for professional e-sports players, you must also know how long the career life of e-sports players will be after retirement. Isn’t it risky to fail to transform successfully?
And when you become a professional player, doesn’t your mother have to be alone at home without anyone to take care of you? But it’s different if you continue to study and earn bonuses based on your performance. You really have to learn to get ahead and you can control it. The resources are definitely not comparable to playing games!
Do you know how many resources a mathematics professor in a university can have? You don’t know! Because as smart as you are, you can’t say that learning is not cost-effective. Let’s put it this way! I hope your mother can live a good life in the future, right?”
Ranger asked sharply.
Qiao Yu glanced at the math teacher who suddenly became excited and nodded subconsciously.
"Okay, then have you ever thought about the future when your mother gets old and her body can no longer hold up and needs to go to the hospital for recuperation? Do you think the person who can enjoy better medical resources is a person who can provide the country with A professor who has made great contributions, or an ordinary person who supports his family by playing games?
You don’t need me to tell you that people who have been drinking for a long time are prone to various diseases when they get old, right?
