Chapter 636 Li Ye Is Better at Making Money than Me, so He Must Be Better at Spending Money than Me

"Mom, yesterday Li Ye and I went to see the aircraft carrier, and on the way back we went to Fifth Avenue for a stroll.

Today we are going to visit Columbia University, and then go to Wall Street to accompany Li Ye to do an internship investigation. I also have to write two reports on what I have seen and heard."

At eight o'clock in the morning, Wen Leyu called back to China despite the time difference to report her itinerary for the past two days, saying that she was not just out for fun, but still insisted on studying during the trip.

This was also what Li Ye had repeatedly requested, to call home once or twice, so as not to let Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng think that Li Ye had "kidnapped" Wen Leyu.

Generally at this time, Wen Leyu asked Li Ye to sit opposite her and use a watch to count the time for her,

because the long-distance call charges in Dengta were very expensive, costing several dollars per minute, and she was afraid that she would be distracted when talking to her mother and could not achieve the effect of "cutting off on time in 55 seconds".

It is said that many overseas students who are studying abroad now do this, and some people are even more economical, hanging up immediately after getting through, and doing it twice in a row is to report safety to their families.

Poor Li Ye, a billionaire, makes tens of thousands every minute, but he still has to act as a precise stopwatch for his wife for a few dollars.

Eight o'clock in the morning in New York is nine o'clock in the evening in Beijing, so Teacher Ke has not slept yet.

She listened quietly to her daughter's report to her one by one, occasionally inserting a word or two to encourage her, and she was in a very good mood.

"Really? I have heard of that big ship, but I have no chance to see it. Xiaoyu, you have learned more than me."

"You have learned more, but we have been mistaken for Japanese idiots three times in a row today. It's really amazing. Li Ye is so tall, but they still mistake him for a fool."

Wen Leyu complained to her mother for a few words, suddenly looked up at Li Ye, and then said depressedly: "Mom, do you think we should dress more simply to avoid being mistaken again?"

"Simple?"

Teacher Ke said in surprise: "Simple is not Being mistaken for a Japanese? How could you have such an idea? "

Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye again, and said with a guilty conscience: "We went shopping today. I didn't want to buy anything because it was too expensive, but Li Ye bought a lot at once, and those people immediately asked if we were Japanese.

Li Ye said that the yen has appreciated now, so many Japanese people in Dengta spend money lavishly, so people think that those who are not short of money are Japanese."

Teacher Ke on the other side of the phone paused, and then remained silent for several seconds.

Li Ye, who was timing with a watch, also lay on the table, resting his chin and smiling at Wen Leyu.

Wen Leyu was "complaining" to himself!

Admittedly, Li Ye and the two girls were indeed mistaken for Japanese today, but Wen Leyu suddenly mentioned this to Teacher Ke, most likely because Li Ye bought shoes for the two girls this afternoon.

Wen Leyu is a girl who keeps her word. She said she would buy a pair of shoes for her sister-in-law Fu Yiruo.

But when the two sisters arrived at the luxury store on Fifth Avenue, they changed their minds.

Luxury goods don't cheat the poor.

An ordinary pair of shoes costs hundreds of dollars, and the most beautiful ones cost thousands of dollars. Even Fu Yiruo felt embarrassed and insisted, "No, it's a rip-off!"

Fu Guiru has been a "daughter of wealth" to Fu Yiruo since she was a child. The pocket money she gives her every month is definitely a lot among her peers, but if she knew that her daughter was so extravagant, she would scold and abuse her.

But Li Ye insisted on letting his wife and sister try on the shoes, and then they bought a lot of them. He was very rich and said, "Except for this pair, buy everything else," and Wen Leyu and Fu Yiruo couldn't stop him. .

Do you want to ask why Li Ye is so rich?

On some websites, high heels and black stockings are a separate category. Why do you think so?

Wen Leyu looks good in them! Her calves are straight, and Li Ye's heart is beating even though he is decades older. Shouldn't a man spend his money wisely?

Besides, when Xiaoyu and Xiaoruo tried them on, they obviously liked them very much, right? Then what is the reason for being stingy?

After a moment of silence, Teacher Ke lowered his voice and asked his daughter: "Xiaoyu, did you have a quarrel with Li Ye? Do you think Li Ye is wasting money?"

"No."

"Why is that? Tell me? ”

“I just don’t have it”

“.”

Teacher Ke was indeed very smart and guessed Wen Leyu’s thoughts at once, but Wen Leyu hesitated and didn’t admit it, but looked at Li Ye again.

Li Ye, who was lying on the table, moved his chin and rested it on his other arm, looking at his young wife with interest, and his smile made Wen Leyu even more uneasy.

This was the first time that Wen Leyu expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Ye’s behavior!

In the past, no matter what decision Li Ye made, Wen Leyu She would always support him unconditionally, and would only grumble occasionally, but never seriously oppose him.

Or, this was the first time that Wen Leyu was officially "sulking" with Li Ye. On the way back, Wen Leyu had a sullen face and didn't talk to Li Ye for a long time!

But the little girl obviously didn't want to quarrel with Li Ye, so she took the opportunity to call her mother to protest to Li Ye implicitly - don't be so rude, or I'll call my mother.

But this time, Teacher Ke stood on Li Ye's side.

Teacher Ke on the other end of the phone said gently: "Xiao Yu, you are definitely better than Li Ye in some aspects, I can be sure of this, and even many of Li Ye's ideas are not as mature as yours,

But there is one thing, as long as it involves the issue of 'money', you still have to learn from Li Ye humbly,

And she is spending her own money now, do you understand? We don't spend the country's money, we spend it however we want, and we spend it on whoever we want"

"I also know these principles, but"

Wen Leyu hesitated for a moment, and said tangledly: "Li Ye can make money, so he can spend money. I am not as good at making money as Li Ye, so I am definitely not as good as him at spending money, so I also know that I should listen to Li Ye, but. Alas~"

Wen Leyu sighed, and his voice suddenly became low: "Mom, in fact, since the day I arrived in Hong Kong Island, I felt a little depressed. These days at the lighthouse, I am getting more and more Bored"

"I know that overseas countries are more developed than us, but I didn't expect it to be so developed. When Pei Wenhui and I were in Beijing before, she always avoided discussing the topic of our "backwardness."

"Today we were shopping on Fifth Avenue, and the clerk was still smiling when she asked us if we were Japanese, but when we said we were from the mainland, she stopped smiling. She didn't despise us, but she just stopped smiling."

"When I couldn't sleep last night, I kept thinking, why are we so far behind? Obviously we have all been working hard."

"So I was thinking, should we spend the money where it should be spent the most? Li Ye has been talking about investing in factories in the mainland, so I think we should save a little."

Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye with obvious shame in his eyes, as if he was blaming himself for interfering with Li Ye's "right to spend money."

When Li Ye sent a telegram to Wen Leyu, as eloquent as a letter, Wen Leyu was very serious about "not wasting."

But after learning about Li Ye's ability to make money, Wen Leyu didn't ask much. After all, her man was capable, so what's wrong with spending a little money? And it was spent on his own people.

But when she followed Li Ye out this time and saw the gap between overseas and mainland China, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Li Ye sat up straight, restrained his smile, stretched out his arms, and gently stroked Wen Leyu's head.

[This is the group of people in the 1980s! ]

In the study abroad circle in the 1980s, there was a story circulating.

There was a government-sponsored student studying in Japan, standing on the street in Shibuya, Tokyo, and breaking down and crying. He couldn't understand why the Japanese idiots surpassed the mainland so much when the mainland was the winner, and how he could change all this?

If you talk about "home, country and the world" with children decades later, few people may be willing to pay attention to you, but there are still some stubborn people among Wen Leyu's group of people.

They may not be the smartest or the best, but they are the most stubborn. When others left, they took root in the mainland and worked hard silently.

When the mainland became the second largest economy 40 years later, these stubborn people with white hair recalled the angry shouts in the 1980s, and they didn't know whether they were sad or happy, bitter or sweet.

Li Ye thought that Wen Leyu's background should not be so "stupid", but now it seems that the little girl is still a little "stupid".

Or, Wen Leyu was "kidnapped" by some kind of responsibility.

"Xiao Yu, your idea is right, but Li Ye must have his reasons. He is with Pei Wencong and others all day long, so he can't be too shabby."

Teacher Ke persuaded Wen Leyu again, and then changed the subject: "What did you do today? How much did you spend?"

Wen Leyu was feeling the touch of Li Ye's palm, and said casually: "I spent more than 50,000 and almost 60,000."

"."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for five or six seconds, and then Teacher Ke asked calmly: "What did you buy with 50,000 or 60,000?"

Wen Leyu felt something was wrong, but still answered obediently: "Buy shoes."

"What else?"

"It's shoes. I also ordered a pair for you, mom, more than 4,000."

"."

Teacher Ke was silent again, and this time for a long time.

"Dollars?"

"Dollars. But mom, there are many limited editions that are said to be more expensive, a pair costs tens of thousands, the things here are too expensive"

Wen Leyu suddenly panicked, she felt like she had done something wrong

Teacher Ke's voice sounded faintly: "We bought shoes today, are we going to buy clothes tomorrow?"

Wen Leyu shook his head, shook off Li Ye's palm, and blinked his eyes quickly.

"We won't buy anything. We will go to Silicon Valley in San Francisco soon. Li Ye has analyzed that there should be many opportunities to make money there. We can make millions."

"Beep beep~"

"Hello hello~"

The call was disconnected. I don't know if there was a problem with the long-distance line or Teacher Ke on the other end hung up.
