"Why didn't you go to school?"

"I received the acceptance letter from Yale. I am admitted unconditionally~"

Carter blinked, and there was no need to explain more. The main reason why he had to go to school after taking the SAT test was to take the AP test, in case all he received was a conditional admission notice.

As a result, now the unconditional admission notice has come, and it is the Ivy League school of my choice. Then going to school, for a pest in the education system like Carter: going to school? What a crap!

"Really? Is it really an unconditional admission?!"

Goodman asked in surprise. Didn't he see you donating money? How did you get in with your qualifications?!

"Really! I've confirmed it. Yale seems to take me very seriously. Didn't you know that during the interview? Maybe they currently lack Chinese students and teaching and research capabilities, which allowed me to take advantage of a loophole."

In addition to the unique advantage of Chinese, Carter really can't think of a second reason that can explain the current situation.

"Congratulations! Have you brought the remittance receipt? I'll have someone pay the tuition first... Then I'll see who can go there first and look for a house..."

"No, no, no, I applied for a rotc scholarship. This is a full scholarship, and there are additional textbooks and living allowances! We don't have to worry about tuition. Now that anti-war sentiment is rising, I guess no one will compete with me for this..."

"You know that anti-war sentiment is widespread nowadays, how did you come up with the idea of ​​applying for this Reserve Officer Training Corps?"

Compared with northern states and counties, people in the south have always been more friendly towards joining the military. When he heard that Carter had applied for the RoTC program, Goodman only thought that the child was thinking about the prestige of an officer.

But to be fair, based on my understanding of Carter, he should not pay much attention to these superficial things...

"Jenny wanted me to go, saying that I was too withdrawn in high school and didn't interact with my classmates. By joining ROTC, at least I can have more activities with people my age..."

Carter smiled indifferently, and was not in a hurry to go to the office. He stood at the door of the bank and chatted with Goodman, each one holding a cigarette:

"Then I read the explanation of the rules. Now the scholarship for this project is paid in advance. If you don't sign the service agreement after two years, it will be refunded in full. Don't we all judge that the inflation in the past two years will not come down so quickly?

!”

"I just thought, if this is the case, let the army pay my tuition first. Then I can follow it for two years to learn shooting, tactics and so on, and exercise. After two years, we will refund the fees. In fact, it is economical.

It was a profit, it was basically an interest-free loan! At that time, the value of money was not as good as it is now, but the tuition was fixed, and I could still teach for free for two years."

"I heard that the current public security environment in New Haven is not very good, and we had to live on campus for the first two years. It's a big deal. Middle and Norton followed me out, but they are usually in school...right? What if?

I am capable of protecting myself to a certain extent, so don’t you feel more at ease?"

"Yo? It's different now that you're going to college, huh? You kid actually knows how to pay attention to New Haven in advance?"

Smiling and nodding, Goodman was greatly relieved. This grandson finally understood the importance of personal safety. It was not easy!

Putting aside economic issues, if Carter continues to be as successful as before, Goodman would even prefer Carter to sign a four-year service agreement and go to the army to sharpen his temper for four years.

After all, it is better to run fast than to run steadily!

It has been almost two years since Carter took over Black Bank. Looking back, we have gone from a small bank that was on the verge of bankruptcy to now having four savings banks and a bunch of other businesses.

The speed of development is amazing!

While he is happy and proud of this rapid development, Goodman always has a sense of indifference in his heart.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of short-lived geniuses in this world! They are like meteors coming into the world, dazzling, but their brilliance is often fleeting...

Just like why is Buffett the recognized stock god in the future, and not Soros and others? After all, for now, Buffett's annualized return rate is actually not as good as Soros at all, but God is there, and it can be guaranteed for more than fifty years.

Steady rise.

Even if 10% of stable compound interest is rolled over for 50 years, the total return will far exceed those of those guys who are clever and ghostly... Yes, it is Soros!

This big bull seems to be out of shape this year, and he will lose whatever he buys. Two days ago, Peter Lynch called and asked Carter if he had any inside information, and why he chose to redeem his shares when Quantum was at its hottest.

, but as soon as he redeemed his money, the Quantum Fund started to show off...

"The situation in New Haven is very bad, and even Yale's performance in recent years is not as good as it used to be. When you told me that your first choice was Yale, I asked someone to collect some information..."

Goodman's words brought Carter's thoughts back to reality, but when he suddenly heard it, Carter's heart suddenly thumped:

"Very bad?"

"Yes, Yale University's alumni donations have been declining in recent years. At the same time, the relationship with the city has also been somewhat tense... Yale faculty have accused the New Haven city government of inaction on public security issues, and New Haven has also

I am very dissatisfied with Yale’s previous behavior of accepting demonstrators.”

"What protesters?"

"The anti-war demonstrations happened relatively early, and the riots were the most violent in 1972. At that time, most schools closed their doors and refused them entry. Only Yale opened their doors to them and even provided water and food.

..."

“Why would Yale do this?”

Carter frowned. He originally thought that a prestigious school like Yale would be a time for him to relax and unwind. But now that he hears it, it seems that... he has taken the initiative to get into trouble again?!

If it was just a disordered public security environment, the situation would be fine, but if there were other things...

"Who knows? Maybe the Yale Board of Trustees at that time sympathized with them? These things are not important and have passed. Anyway, the current situation is that because of the security problems in New Haven, Yale teachers are generally resistant to settling in New Haven.

.And you know, Yale and New Haven are almost twins from the same body!”

Goodman shrugged his shoulders and said that he could not explore that period of history thousands of miles away in Georgia.

"Since the 19th century, Yale's faculty and staff have accounted for no less than 10% of the population of New Haven. Moreover, university teachers, who are more or less considered a middle-income group and above, are the main consumers in the local area. Their departure has further accelerated the growth of New Haven.

The city’s public security problems. At its most serious, New Haven’s unemployment rate reached 30%, and the entire industry was depressed..."

"This vicious cycle has been going on for many years, starting in the 1950s. But don't worry, Yale is slowly getting better in recent years, and has launched some community building programs, etc..."

"So I support your participation in RoTC! For personal safety, we cannot rely entirely on external forces. It is very important for you to have a certain amount of force to protect yourself! Okay, let's not talk about this. If we continue to talk about it, I'm afraid you won't dare to report it.

Yes, hahaha."

"There is a very special job here, do you think you would like to take a trip?"
