Chapter 2608


    Charlie was a little puzzled, and he asked, "Why do you feel that it is particrly meaningless and of no significance for you to helppanies make more profits? Now that you are teaching, aren''t you also helping the university cultivate more talents, then? I think that there is truly not much difference between the two."


    Yolden smiled slightly before he said earnestly, "To be honest, I am not the kind of materialistic person who loves money very much."


    As he spoke, Yolden said emotionally, "Truthfully, money no longer carries any significance or meaning to me after reaching a certain level. My standard of living and my living conditions have been fixed ever since I began earning an ie of five hundred thousand US dors a year. Moreover, when I subsequently began earning ten million US dors a year, my standard of living and my living conditions were still the same as when I was simply earning five hundred thousand US dors a year."


    "Although I am not a rich or wealthy person, I have already been working for so many years, and I have tens of millions of US dors'' worth of savings. Also, I have made some stock investments, and I have some Apple and Te shares. If I were to withdraw all of


    this, I might be able to obtain two to three hundred million dors in cash. Although this small sum of money could never beparable to Mr. Wade''s Emgrand Group, I do not know where I would spend all this money at all."


    "The house that I am living in now is not expensive. Even if I were to add up all of my investments and convert them into US dors, it would be worth about one million US dors at most. It is not that I cannot afford to buy an expensive house. However, I simply find that it is too troublesome for me to live in, and it is alsopletely unnecessary."Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "I am driving a Te, and it is the mostmon model. It is very economical, and it is also very environmentally friendly. When all of the investment i s added up, it is worth less than sixty thousand US dors." 2


    "Furthermore, I only need a few thousand US dors t 0 cover all of my monthly expenses. My current sry alone is already more than enough for me to cover all O f these expenses. As for the remaining money that I have, I can only store it in my bank ount, and it haspletely lost its liquidity. No matter how much money I am going to earn, I will eventually be donating all of my money to charity in the future. So, in my opinion, I might as well continue teaching the students here diligently instead." 3


    Charlie asked in surprise, "Don''t you intend to leave a generous sum of money behind for your children at all?"


    Yoldenughed as he said, "I did not think about this yet. My daughter is about the same age as you, and her standard of living and living conditions are about the same as mine. She can earn money, but she does not really spend much money, nor does she have any motivation to spend money at all."


    Charlie could not help but feel as though it would be a little difficult to convince Yolden when he heard this. 4


    Yolden was obviously not interested in money at all, and he only wanted to teach and educate people.


    Under this kind of circumstance, what could he possibly do to impress him or make him willingly agree to coborate and work together with him?


    Even after thinking about it, Charlie could note up with any good ideas or solutions whatsoever.


    However, a ck and white sketch on Yolden''s office wall attracted his attention at this time.


    The simple ck and white sketch only contained a few simple strokes which made out the shape of a tree. It did not look particrly unique or peculiar, and most people would hardly be able to tell the species of this tree by its shape.


    However, Charlie looked at the painting as he said with interest, "Professor Hart, did you draw this sketch on your own?"


    Yolden asked curiously, "How did you know that? I did not sign my name on the picture."


    Charlie smiled as he said, "It is because I know this tree."


    "Oh?" Yolden hurriedly asked him, "You know this tree? So, can you give me a brief exnation about this tree, then?"


    Charlie nodded before he smiled and said,


    You Professor Hart, the tree t


    drew is actually a redwood tree


    from California in the "


    st


    Yolden was slightly taken aback for a moment. At this time, Charlie continued, In fact, I think that your simple sketch is based on the Stanford University''s emblem. If remember correctly, the pattern in the center of the Stanford University emblem looks just like this. It is a redwood tree just like this." 5


    Yolden asked in surprise, "Mr. Wade, did you graduate from Stanford University too?" 6
