MTL - Wall Street Legend-Chapter 398 speech
Chapter 398 Speeches
Ye Dongqing has never seen any high-end occasions, even the Oval Office in Washington D.C. and the gathering of Wall Street bosses organized by the Federal Reserve. Ye Dongqing has experienced it before. Standing on the stage at this moment, facing the crowds of students, parents and teachers, He was not at all frightened. He heard the reporters shouting at him, smiled and waved, posing for them to take pictures.
In the past, there would not be so many reporters at Harvard graduation ceremonies. At least 20 media came here specifically to photograph Ye Dongqing.
He came late today and has already missed many interesting links.
Just over an hour ago, several trumpeters wearing traditional kilts played music to clear the way, and then Harvard University’s Ph. Walking happily on the street, accepting people's blessings.
After the parade, they entered the Harvard Central Lawn one by one. Today, this place is full of chairs. It is the main venue for the graduation ceremony. The campus is usually open to the public. At the moment, the security is tight, and all admission is by ticket. Many police officers were deployed in the area. , led by the sheriff himself, can be regarded as a tradition.
It’s not a pity. The Harvard graduation ceremony is similar every year. Ye Dongqing is facing the crowd at this moment, turning her head to talk to Mr. Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, in a low voice: “Sir, why are you here today?”
"Of course I received the invitation letter. I may issue a diploma to you later. Don't you know that I also graduated from Harvard University? But that was thirty-nine years ago. I got it in 1966. Harvard’s Master of Business Administration degree, and today I can still get an honorary doctorate from Harvard.”
Mr. Bloomberg’s tone was brisk, and he seemed to be in a good mood. I don’t know if it’s because of the honorary doctorate, or because he thought of his own time through this graduation ceremony. Every old man was once young, but time flies. too hasty.
Ye Dongqing really didn't know about this, so she said in a daze, "Congratulations, I heard that a guy wants to build a building next to my building? We are friends, and you can't pass that kind of design drawing! "
Can't help but want to laugh, Mr. Bloomberg shrugged slightly, and replied: "I can't make the decision. After all, the Japanese company's bid is not low, and there is nothing wrong with the building itself."
The building itself is right, the wrong thing is that it is placed next to the Cobra Building.
The cause of the incident started three days ago, when Ye Dongqing accidentally learned from the designer of the Cobra Building that another piece of land on Hudson Square had already found a buyer.
If it’s just like this, there is no problem. The concept map of Qi Qi in the building turned out to be in the shape of a long sword that pierces the sky. "The sword, as can be seen from the name, the Japanese name of the design draft is called "Amazono Cloud Building". One of the artifacts.
It's a legend, after all, it's just a legend. Ye Dongqing is not superstitious, but she vaguely feels that she is being targeted, so she feels uncomfortable.
Previously, I wanted to build a landmark building that could be passed down for a hundred years. If the other party did it like this, it would easily become a joke in other people's mouths.
It is impossible to change the design drawings. The Cobra Building is already under construction. He doesn't understand who in the senior management of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group is full of food and molested himself. Taking the opportunity, I proposed to Mr. Bloomberg that if I hadn't met him by chance today, Ye Dongqing would have gone to see him in a few days.
"Then there is no way to stop them?" Ye Dongqing asked persistently.
"In my opinion, it doesn't seem to be the case. Their investment amount is not small. I have to consider other New York citizens, employment rate, tax payment, and international influence. It is a Fortune 500 company. After it is completed, at least It will create a thousand jobs in New York, most of the workers during construction are also Americans, you should know that I can't help you with this kind of work...”
Let’s talk here for the time being, because the principal has called Mr. Bloomberg’s name and asked him to get an honorary degree certificate.
As for Ye Dongqing and other "ordinary" graduates, they will get their degree certificates in the auditorium later. The only use of this thing in Ye Dongqing's hands is to hang it in the office as an exhibit. It is impossible for him to look for a job again. It is impossible in this life.
Time passed by every minute.
An undergraduate graduation representative spoke first. He was a black student. As Ye Dongqing expected, the topic of the speech was related to keywords such as "race", "contradiction", and "harmony". Dozed off.
The applause was not intense, but mostly out of politeness. When the principal who acted as the host mentioned Ye Dongqing, the student representative, and said a lot of honors, the applause was much more sincere and warm.
Three days of fishing and two days of posting on the Internet, so many business school students have never seen Ye Dongqing. When he was studying here, he was just an ordinary rich man, and his influence was far worse than what he is now. Qianli, at the ceremony, some people were annoyed that they didn't have a good relationship with him at the beginning, and there were also fledgling little guys who ambitiously wanted to surpass Ye Dongqing's achievements, but were simply envious and jealous.
It’s very interesting, isn’t it? Many canaries who have just left the cage think that this society can really let them fly. It’s different in school and in society. Of course there are guys like Little Edward, most of them are You have to rely on yourself. It may not be difficult to be a middle-class or ordinary high-yield, but it is not so easy to think about going up.
At this moment, Ye Dongqing waved hello, came to the podium and patted the microphone, stood there with his hands on his hands, and said: "All alumni and parents of alumni present, please allow me to waste a few minutes of your time, listen to me Let me tell you about the life experience I have summed up over the past few years.
I, Leo Ye, was born in an ordinary middle-class family. After my parents had an accident, I moved to my aunt’s house to live. These are no secrets. Many people may know that it was the first turning point in my life. The second one was in 2002. Not long after I finished the SAT and ACT exams, I tried to start a business with the money I earned from part-time jobs. What should I do if I don’t have enough money? I can only rely on lies. I told the former boss of Freshwater Fund that he would sell the company to me first and pay him later. Lies are bad, but I was really confident at the beginning and believed that I could make some achievements. At that time, it was already the best plan to pay back the money after working part-time for several years after failure.
God bless me, luckily I made it through and am here today. Of course, what I want to tell you is not to lie like me. Integrity is really very important. This matter is deeply impressed in my mind, so I will keep reminding myself to honor and abide by all promises and contracts in the following days. What I want to tell you is that everyone here, as long as you have perseverance and goals, you will succeed in the end. It may not be perfect, but when you get old and look at the experience of struggling when you were young, it will definitely be a period that will make you happy. Satisfied with the wonderful course…”
