Chapter 109 Exchange Students

Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Ming finally got the exchange student spot as he wished. Today is the day he leaves the Purple Tulip Empire.

Now Li Ming is standing next to a port on the Sago River.

With the end of the war and the arrival of peace, global trade has become more frequent. Jinglun is the capital of Purple Tulip, with countless cargo ships coming and going every day. The Sago River is a large river that feeds nearly half of the Purple Tulip population. It is extremely wide and very suitable for shipping.

Every day, a large number of huge merchant ships with thick black smoke enter the port, unloading a large amount of cargo and piling up the same weight of local goods. No matter whether they are local administrators, craftsmen, dock laborers, or even hawkers and some young ladies in indescribable professions, their faces always have a hurried look.

For them, time is life! Time is money!

The price to pay for living in such a big city is much greater than others imagine. It is not easy to live in a big city!
At this time, in addition to Li Ming, there were three other people, a total of four people, who were the exchange students of this batch, two men and two women.

"This is a symbol of the Golden Oak Kingdom's wealth and power, and it also offers customs tax breaks, so you can see specialty goods from all over the world!"

As time passed, the sun slowly set, but it was not the moonlight that illuminated the land, but countless neon lights and night lights. Especially in the harbor outside, the huge searchlights were like the sun, the light was even brighter than during the day, and even a needle dropped on the ground could be seen clearly.

After the daytime dock laborers finish their work, a group of specialized night shift workers replace them.

The entire port operates day and night, continuously handling cargo from all over the world.

At this moment, a cruise ship with the three big words "Fearless" printed on its hull slowly approached. Except for Li Ming's other three students, they all showed excitement when they saw the "Fearless". They were obviously very excited about the upcoming unknown journey and kept chattering about something.

Even with Li Ming's broad-mindedness and shrewdness, he was still overwhelmed with emotion at the upcoming reunion, but he suppressed it on his face so that no one could see it.

"Attention, passengers! Attention, passengers! The Fearless has dropped anchor. Passengers bound for Shayuan City, Port Carli, and other destinations, please hold your tickets, line up in an orderly manner, and board the ship as soon as possible!"

As the horn sounded, the four of them walked towards the ladder lowered by the cruise ship.

"Sir, please come this way. You have the privilege of VIP fast lane." A young woman with a lovely appearance walked up to Li Ming.

Li Ming nodded, and then she left the team.

The other three showed envious expressions.

"He actually sat in the VIP cabin, which is five or six times more expensive than economy class, and the school won't reimburse the cost," said a red-haired girl.

"Of course, he is the famous Stephen, the youngest outstanding student in the history of Jinglun University. I heard that although he has only been enrolled for less than two years, he has completed all his studies and can graduate at any time." said another blonde girl.

"But that pales in comparison to his other identity," the only boy among the three said. "He's the controlling shareholder of Huaxin Capital, managing hundreds of millions of pounds. I heard he contributed significantly to the library's renovation. I heard his portrait was already prepared in the alumni corridor, and it will be hung on his graduation day. Who else has ever received such a privilege?"

There was even a hint of admiration in his words.

"I really envy his fellow countryman. Just because we're from the same place, he's trusted to help manage the company. With a resume like that, I wonder how many offers he'll receive after graduation."

"Then you should blame yourself for not having a mayor father," said the red-haired girl.

"That's because you don't know him well enough. His talents far exceed his background. Although he is probably only fourteen years old now, his story is enough to publish an autobiography. If you still hold on to this idea, I'm afraid your future development will be limited. I advise you to face reality. This exchange may be our chance to change our destiny." said the boy.

The red-haired woman curled her lips and said nothing more. Just then, the queue had lined up in front of the three of them, so the three of them obediently got on the boat.

Li Ming has done a lot in the past two years. Under his training, Elvis has gradually become able to stand on his own. Li Ming now runs a Huaxin Capital, which mainly makes money by taking advantage of information asymmetry.

Of course, there is a bit of a Ponzi scheme involved, but the current stock market is still at a stage where even a fool can make money, so the interest can be fully paid.

In addition, Li Ming's title as the youngest college student in Jinglun University in a hundred years is impressive, so it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is worth hundreds of millions of pounds, but tens of millions is still a certain amount.

Of course, he only has management rights and not ownership, but as long as he pays the interest on time every year, who can say that the money is not his?
Li Ming also arrived at his VIP room at this moment. There was no doubt that the space was very large, and it even had its own bathroom. There was also a not-so-small desk next to the bed. You have to know that the same amount of space in the economy class can accommodate eight people at the same time. Li Ming thought that this money was well spent.

As the bright moon hung high in the sky, the cruise ship emitted bursts of humming sounds, and then continued to sail slowly. The Fearless was about to cross the ocean. The voyage would take about four weeks, and it would stop at many places along the way. This was a small benefit for exchange students, equivalent to a long-distance journey.

"Welcome all the top students from Purple Tulip Jinglun University! We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

A middle-aged man wearing something resembling a Mao suit came up to the four of them and said, "I'm Professor Zhao from Huadu University. I'm here to pick you up. Please, the car is over here."

Hearing his fluent common language, the red-haired woman showed a surprised expression and said, "I thought you guys still had to ride horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts here, but you actually have cars."

Teacher Zhao's expression changed slightly, then he smiled and said, "There are still a few technical difficulties in production, but we have imported some from your country. You are all VIPs, so we applied for one. Please follow me."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Not everyone has your understanding of foreign countries. We are here to exchange studies and enhance the friendship between the academic communities of our two countries. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you again in the future."

This was spoken in pure Chinese without a single accent. Teacher Zhao showed a bit of surprise, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I hope you will gain something from this exchange trip."

Li Ming said meaningfully: "I think this will definitely be an unforgettable memory."
