Chapter 381 Xiangjiang's College Life

In early August, Su Mingzhe and Qiu Ya arrived in Hong Kong.

'Su Dingbang' had already arranged for someone to help complete the admission application process.

When the two arrived in Hong Kong, they only needed to take their transcripts, take an English test, attend an interview, and then go back to wait for the admission letter.

The admission methods of universities in Hong Kong and other Western countries are more complex and diversified, and the proportion of traditional examination admissions has been declining.

This diversified student entrance examination program is actually due to social needs.

Well, to be precise, it is for the needs of the rich.

For example, there are many children from wealthy families who have poor academic performance and no special talents. In high school, they have done nothing serious except picking up girls.

The only advantage of these wealthy families is that they have excellent parents and are rich.

Therefore, in order to adapt to the needs of these wealthy families, university admissions methods have also changed accordingly.

The proportion of admissions through traditional examinations is declining every year.

The number of complex and diverse admissions is increasing.

One of the more luxurious methods is to just spend money directly.

This is what super rich people do.

Most wealthy families tend to use rules to cultivate their children's interests and hobbies, and then take the "letter of recommendation" approach.

Some schools also provide special care for "alumni children".

The reason why Su Mingzhe and Qiuya were able to enter Hong Kong University so easily was that "Su Dingbang" actually spent a lot of money behind the scenes.

On this day, the two finally received the admission letters from Hong Kong University.

Su Mingzhe is from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Qiu Ya is from the Department of Economics.

Qiuya received the admission letter and came to Hong Kong for half a month. Her tense mood eased a little:
"Mingzhe, school starts in more than half a month. I'm a little nervous."

"Qiuya, if you feel nervous, just use the method I taught you. I believe you will get used to it soon."

Su Mingzhe put his arm around her shoulders and gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.

Ever since they came to Hong Kong, Qiuya has been shocked by the Su family's luxurious life.

The Su family now lives in a villa on the top of the mountain.

Last year, Su Dingbang made his move at a very clever time, as other wealthy people were immigrating.

'Su Dingbang' was particularly willing to spend money on investment, and he bought more than a dozen mountaintop villas in succession, which were directly connected together to form the 'Su Mansion' with an area of ​​nearly 100 acres.

As the head of the family, Su Dingbang lived in Building No. 1 of the mansion.

Su Dahai and his wife live in Building No. 2.

After Su Mingzhe and Qiu Ya arrived, they lived in Building No. 3.

In the entire Su Mansion, in addition to the five owners, Su Dingbang, Su Dahai and his wife, Su Mingzhe and Qiuya, there are nearly a hundred security guards, more than thirty servants, and eight cooks.

When Qiuya came to the Su family, she knew what a rich person meant.

Because the Su family is so rich, Qiuya puts herself under a lot of psychological pressure.

Even though Su Dahai and his wife welcomed her arrival and approved her as their daughter-in-law, Qiuya herself was very nervous and couldn't relax.

Su Mingzhe didn't have any "magic medicine" for Qiuya's nervousness for the time being, and could only let her adapt slowly.

At half past nine, a female tutor arrived and taught Qiuya to learn Cantonese and traditional Chinese characters.

While Qiuya was studying, Su Mingzhe followed Su Dingbang to the company and began to prepare to become the successor.

After several months of rapid expansion, 'Su Ji' founded by 'Su Dingbang' had countless properties under its name, and the industries involved reached dozens.

According to Su Mingzhe's plan, the next step is to shift investment direction to the mainland.

However, before moving to the mainland, Su Ji's business needs to be properly integrated.

It’s also Su Mingzhe’s fault that he is used to being a hands-off boss and usually doesn’t take care of things.

At this time, many wealthy immigrants wanted to sell their properties.

The venture capital employees recruited by "Su Ji" are a group of rebellious and enterprising young people.

These little guys treat Su Mingzhe's money as nothing and buy whatever they see.

In just half a year, the assets under the name of "Su Ji" have reached hundreds of billions.

However, even such a huge industry still lacks strong core competitiveness.

According to outsiders, "Su Ji" is currently in a state of disunity. It makes money quickly and spends it quickly.

Su Mingzhe naturally would not agree with this statement.

After he joined the company, he served as the 'Venture Capital Director'.

The first order he issued when he convened the first meeting of the venture capital department was to organize a group of people to go to the mainland and invest in mainland Internet companies.

"Here is a list of some Internet companies I collected, including Qiuqiu, Wangyi, and Qiandu... Let's talk to these companies first. As long as they are willing to sell, no matter how many shares they have, we will buy them."

"The second thing is to recruit talents in the Internet IT field. I want to set up an e-commerce company called Taobao..."

"Third, the venture capital department's investment directions, except for the Internet sector, will remain the same, but a new assessment mechanism will be established..."

Su Mingzhe came up with a series of tricks one after another.

Most of them can be understood by employees.

Su Mingzhe doesn’t care if some of his actions are not understood by his employees. He will find employees who can understand to do it.

From 98 to 2002, the Internet bubble burst.

There are so many opportunities here.

Now that Su Mingzhe has the opportunity to plunder, he naturally will not let it go.

However, the returns on Internet investments are slow, and many Internet companies need to invest continuously for more than ten years before they can see returns. On September 1, Hong Kong University opened.

Su Mingzhe and Qiuya completed the admission procedures in advance.

Before school started, Su Mingzhe asked his mother to take Qiuya out to buy a lot of clothes, cosmetics, bags, etc.

In a society where "people should respect the clothes before they respect the person" and "clothes make the man", having a set of bright and beautiful clothes can save Qiuya from 90% of her troubles.

In addition to buying things, Su Mingzhe also gave Qiuya a credit card with a monthly balance of 500,000 yuan and a bank card with 100,000 yuan deposited into it every month.

When you are in a strange place, you can feel calm only if you have money in your pocket.

On the first day of school, Su Mingzhe walked Qiuya all the way to the classroom door. Seeing her holding his hand, reluctant to leave, he knew that she was still a little nervous and afraid of the unfamiliar environment, so he could only comfort her with gentle words:
"You go in first. I have to go back to class. When the morning class is over, I will take you to the school cafeteria for lunch."

Hong Kong University does not force students to live in school dormitories.

Su Mingzhe bought a house next to the school as a love nest for himself and Qiuya.

Because she had not communicated with her classmates and teachers in advance, after Qiuya entered the class, she followed Su Mingzhe's instructions and sat directly in the front row.

Because the front row is close to the teacher, there are basically students with excellent academic performance around them.

Excellent talents tend to be more tolerant.

Occasionally, a few male classmates would see Qiuya's "first love face" and come over to chat with her, but she would directly reject them.

Compared to Qiuya's bumpy start, Su Mingzhe was surrounded by several girls as soon as he entered the classroom.

Su Mingzhe is a typical tall, rich and handsome man with a soft face, fair skin and beautiful looks, like a little puppy.

In the 1990s, people in mainland China might not like this face shape.

But in Hong Kong, Su Mingzhe's face shape is particularly popular among girls.

The only pity is that he chose the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The male to female ratio at Hong Kong University is almost equal, about six to four.

However, the Mechanical Engineering Department is a bit exaggerated, with the male to female ratio reaching 15 to 1.

Among more than a hundred students, there are less than ten girls, and the quality is also terrible.

Su Mingzhe no longer had any thoughts about these female classmates.

"Handsome boy, meet Sharon."

A girl with shoulder-length hair sat next to Su Mingzhe. Judging from the way she was dressed, her family must be wealthy.

"Just call me Azhe."

Su Mingzhe didn't want to provoke these female classmates, but if they came over to say hello, he wouldn't be rude.

What's more, Sharon is in good condition.

Sharon is tall and has an okay face shape, except for some freckles. Her black-framed glasses hide her pretty features and make her look ordinary.

"Azhe, you are also from the mainland, right?"

"Huh? How did you tell?"

Su Mingzhe was a little surprised. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his Cantonese and it was always fluent, no different from people from Hong Kong.

"I looked at our department's list yesterday. There are only two people from the mainland. One is me, and the other is you."

Sharon is very talkative and took the initiative to start a conversation with Su Mingzhe.

Her family is originally from Jiangbei Province. Seven years ago, her father went to work for a Hong Kong company. Later, because of his excellent work, he was transferred to the Hong Kong headquarters.

Last year, Sharon was taken by her father to Hong Kong to go to school.

"Your Cantonese is very good. You don't look like you've only been here for a year."

"Your Cantonese is also very good. How long have you been here?"

"I've only been here for a month. But I've been practicing Cantonese for a year in advance."

“I also started practicing in advance.”

"By the way, English names are popular in Hong Kong, so you should give yourself one too."

"Forget it, my family won't allow it."

Su Mingzhe and Sharon chatted for a while, but when they saw the teacher coming, they stopped chatting.

People in Hong Kong actually respect teachers and education a lot. It's not like in the movies where the classrooms are so chaotic.

Of course, in the classroom, communication between teachers and students is definitely more frequent than in the mainland.

Su Mingzhe found it very easy to study because he had already taught himself the mechanical engineering courses.

Sharon, who was sitting next to her, had a hard time, probably because her foundation was weak.

She frequently communicates with teachers and classmates both in and after class.

Su Mingzhe was also generous and would answer Sharon's questions whenever she asked them.

The morning class is over.

Su Mingzhe took out his cell phone and called Qiuya, making an appointment to meet for dinner in the cafeteria.

Sharon sat next to her, looking slightly disappointed:
"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes, he is my high school classmate."

Su Mingzhe had no intention of hiding it, it had nothing to do with Sharon's appearance.

Even though Sharon is very beautiful, Su Mingzhe will not deceive her.

After all, if a man doesn’t even have this level of responsibility, he’s not really a man at all.
