I'm back in 1990

Chapter 332: The words may be rough, but the reasoning is sound.

"Where did you go last night? If Lao Zhang hadn't told me, I would still be waiting foolishly at the hotel."

At 11 a.m., Wu Duo came to find Huang Xiaochuan.

"I went to Harvard yesterday afternoon and ran into my high school class monitor. What a coincidence! You were my college class monitor, and the two of us live so close to each other?"

"Wow! That's such a coincidence!" Wu Duo also found it unbelievable.

Was your high school class monitor male or female?

"Hey woman, by the way, I gave her your and Lao Zhang's phone numbers. If anything happens, call us and we'll help if we can. If you can't handle it, call me."

"Something's not right, big shot. There's definitely something going on between you and your high school class monitor!"

"Your grandpa's story is just like my relationship with you—a purely platonic classmate relationship."

Wu Duo stroked his chin, looking suspicious. "Why don't I believe it?"

That evening, a steakhouse in Cambridge was booked out, and each waiter received a $100 tip to make up for their lack of customers that night, since no other customers meant no tips.

Guests at the party don't usually tip, so to follow local custom, Huang Xiaochuan had Mai Guangde give everyone $100 as a tip for the evening, including the chef.

After paying, the effect was fantastic. Tonight, with so many people, they received the most enthusiastic service.

Wu Duo, along with Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Gaolei, arrived at the restaurant early. When the guests arrived, Wu Duo introduced them to each of them one by one.

Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Gaolei shook hands and exchanged greetings with each of the international students from China.

The banquet was lively, and the group of scholars were just like the heroes in the Water Margin, eating meat (sizzling grilled steak) and drinking beer (a liter or a pitcher of fresh beer).

These international students are usually quite busy with work and studies, so it's rare for them to have the opportunity to get together. Tonight, Huang Xiaochuan provided this opportunity, allowing them to enjoy a nice meal together and exchange information.

Sitting next to Zhang Xiangguang, Qiu Xiaofei asked, "Old Zhang, are those two really investors in Gaze?"

Zhang Xiangguang was focused on dealing with a battle axe that weighed a full kilogram when he heard Qiu Xiaofei confirm with him. He put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He picked up his beer glass and replied, "That's right, it's them!"

After receiving confirmation from Zhang Xiangguang, Qiu Xiaofei exclaimed enviously, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a person from our country! They're so lucky!"

"You can't say that. It's not just a matter of luck. If an investment opportunity were presented to you, Old Qiu, would you dare to invest?"

"Me? Don't be ridiculous, what am I supposed to throw?"

"That's settled then. If you ask me, even if you, Lao Qiu, had hundreds of thousands, you wouldn't invest. After all, there's a risk involved! If it fails, all that money will be wasted. So, don't envy other people's good luck. You've only seen the thief eating meat, but you've never seen the thief getting beaten."

"Hey! Lao Zhang, if we ever have a good project in the future, could we ask these two to invest in it?"

Zhang Xiangguang replied, "It should be fine, right?"

Qiu Xiaofei's words made Zhang Xiangguang's mind wander. The night before last, Wu Duo said that as long as he got in touch with Huang Xiaochuan, his fortune would definitely be good. You can believe it if you want, or not if you don't. He could try it out sometime. It's better than messing around outside, right?

Seven or eight female international students also gathered together to discuss Huang Xiaochuan.

"Sister Xie, who really paid for Zhang Sui's medical expenses?"

Xie Xinyue looked at Huang Xiaochuan and replied, "What do you mean by 'real' or 'false'? You'll know for sure if you go to the hospital tomorrow and check for yourself."

"My goodness, he's so young! Don't miss Chapter 332: Rough Words, True Principles, Full Text Available Now, Click Here. How can he be so rich?"

The younger Kong Zi laughed, "That's because he's smarter than us. Unlike us, all we do is study. Look at Xiao Chuan, he's managed to balance studying and making money. You can't really compare people!"

"Hey! You've only known each other for a few days? You're already calling him Xiao Chuan. Has Kong Zi fallen for him?"

"Get out of here! We're being serious! You're bringing up relationships again. Xiao Chuan has a girlfriend. She's an eight-year medical student at Shanghai Second Medical University. I even heard from Wu Duo that he and his girlfriend have lived in the same building since they were little; they're childhood sweethearts."

"Tsk tsk tsk, handsome and rich, wow! Why can't I find a childhood sweetheart like that?"

"Alright! Hurry up and eat yours! The steak won't taste good when it's cold. Also, hurry up and wipe your mouth with a napkin, look at you, you're practically drooling."

"Sister Xie, you're so annoying!"

Halfway through the gathering, at everyone's request, Huang Xiaochuan stood up and said a few words.

"Since everyone wants me to say a few words, then I'll say a few words!"

"Everyone here except me has come here from afar to pursue their studies. You are all outstanding individuals, the cream of the crop. Otherwise, these prestigious American universities wouldn't have accepted you."

"Hahaha!"

Huang Xiaochuan's blunt words drew laughter from everyone.

There's a saying from feudal society: "Learn skills, both literary and martial, to serve the emperor." While this saying is outdated, it's not without merit. Isn't the point of acquiring skills to make oneself valuable?

"I guess everyone comes to the US to study for their own reasons. Some want to stay in the US after graduation, work for big companies, earn high salaries, and improve their own and their families' lives!"

"Some people also plan to return to China after completing their studies to serve their country and contribute to its development."

"Some people also plan to start their own businesses and build a great career!"

"Wanting to improve the lives of your family and yourself is not wrong, wanting to return to your country and contribute your own strength is not wrong, and of course, wanting to start your own business and be your own boss is even more wrong. However, I suggest that after you finish your studies, you go back to your country and see what it was like before, and what it is like now."

"Of course, I respect whatever decision you ultimately make."

"There's a story that goes like this: The owner of a shoe factory sent two salesmen to Africa to develop the market. One of them came back complaining that Africans are used to going barefoot and don't wear shoes, so no one would buy shoes. The other salesman came back overjoyed and said, 'Great! It's a huge market there because the people there don't even know the benefits of wearing shoes.'"

"Our country is a huge market right now, with lots of opportunities and an astonishingly large market, so you can all consider my opinion."

"Here I make a promise to everyone: if anyone wants to start their own business but lacks funds, they can come to me with their business plan."

"Finally, thank you all for giving me the time to finish speaking. Thank you!"

After Huang Xiaochuan finished speaking, everyone gave him a round of enthusiastic applause.

One of the international students clapped and said to Wu Duo, "Wu Duo, your classmate is amazing! His level of understanding is unmatched! If I ever want to start a business back in China, I'll definitely go to him."

Wu Duo looked proud of himself.

Back at the hotel that evening, Zhang Gaolei told Huang Xiaochuan, "I'm going back to the West Coast tomorrow. You can go to New York by yourself!"

"What's wrong? Why are you going back so early?"

"There are some things to take care of over there."

Seeing that Zhang Gaolei insisted on returning to the West Coast first, Huang Xiaochuan let him go, since they would meet again in a few days anyway.

"Then I'll arrange for someone to book your plane ticket."

"No need, I've already booked the tickets. Aren't you going to New York tomorrow? I can go to the airport with you."

"OK!"
