American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

With increasing funding, Mike plans to expand from the virtual industry into the real economy.

A limousine first took Mike and Peggy to a five-star restaurant. After enjoying a lavish meal, the car then took everyone to a detached villa in Manhattan.

This villa was purchased in full at Mike's request. It overlooks the famous Wall Street and is next to the Broadway Opera House.

After settling their luggage, Mike finally had some free time and sat down in the living room with Chris.

"What were you thinking? Why did you allocate half of your assets to real estate?" Chris, dressed like an elite, asked the question that had been bothering him.

With a background in economics, he excels at financial management.

Now that Mike's business is growing bigger and bigger and has even involved the real economy, Chris feels immense pressure.

"What do you think of the current economic development speed of Migo?" Mike asked in return after calmly taking a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.

"The development is very rapid, and it can be described as full of business opportunities. But so what? Our core business is in the stock market." As a newcomer, Chris strongly advocates an old concept: never try to make money outside of your understanding.

“You’re only half right… He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present…” Mike poured two glasses of red wine and patiently explained, “You only see the economic prosperity, but you don’t see that this prosperity is achieved by overdrawing future potential. It’s like a colorful bubble…”

"As the economic bubble expands indefinitely, it will eventually burst."

"That would be a disaster. So, in order not to be too affected when the bubble bursts, developing the real economy is an essential step."

Chris is also a graduate of a prestigious university, majoring in economics.

In this situation, he has a keen sensitivity to economic trends. He had previously been fixated on a narrow perspective due to his personal limitations, but after Mike's reminder, he quickly realized the problem.

"But why real estate?" Chris pressed again, out of caution.

To put it bluntly, the real estate industry is the domain of the wealthy.

Even though Mike's current assets are close to hundreds of millions of US dollars, investing in the real estate industry would only be a small ripple at best.

“It doesn’t have to be real estate. If there are opportunities in food, healthcare, technology, or other fields, we can also invest.” Mike took a sip of red wine and continued, “Of course, it’s best if the investment company’s main focus is still on the real estate industry, which is currently booming.”

Once people have money, they will want to own their own house, and this applies everywhere.

Therefore, economic prosperity means prosperity in the real estate industry.

Furthermore, in order to stimulate domestic demand and promote continued economic development, Migo Bank has gradually relaxed its loan quotas.

Residents with a good public credit score can apply for a mortgage at a bank, with loan amounts ranging from one million to several million US dollars.

Mike wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to transform his asset structure. If he handled real estate speculation properly, he could use this momentum to rapidly increase his net worth.

Even if the operation fails in the end, the worst-case scenario is that Mike will just have some more fixed assets.

“As long as you know what’s going on in your mind.” Chris basically understood Mike’s thoughts, and then said, “The urgent problem you need to solve now is to recruit more professional talent.”

Chris, who juggles multiple roles including the stock market, investment companies, and the future real estate industry, feels a sense of being overwhelmed while also feeling trusted by Mike.

The main purpose of this meeting with Mike was to address the issue of talent acquisition.

"You should hire some regular staff first to get the company running smoothly. As for specialized talent, you can look for them later when the opportunity arises," Mike suggested.

Talented people are hard to come by, especially now with such rapid economic development.

Generally, capable and intelligent people will take advantage of this opportunity to start their own businesses.

“Alright then!” Chris didn’t have any good ideas about attracting talent. Then, he suddenly said, “By the way, Jesse and Carly heard that you started a new investment company and they want to come and help out.”

Jesse, who had shared hardships with them and studied economics, could be of some help. As for Carly, her major was fashion design, which wouldn't be very useful to the investment company.

"Come if you want. You can decide on your own position, and I can give you some preferential treatment." Mike, who was very wealthy, said that taking care of two more people was no pressure for him.

Moreover, it had been almost a year since they last met, and Mike was starting to miss those two beautiful women.

Chris and Mike then discussed some details about the company's future development. After finishing their glass of red wine, Chris, who still had a lot to do at the new company, chose to say goodbye and leave.

"Mike, come and see, there are so many tall buildings outside!" After everyone else had left, little Peggy, who was standing barefoot in front of the French windows, called out to Mike.

Across the street is Wall Street, where land is incredibly valuable; how could there not be a lot of skyscrapers there?

“It’s really spectacular. If you’re interested, I’ll take you there tomorrow,” Mike said, looking at the Wall Street Building across the street.

Mike's investment company, which had invested tens of millions, also had its own office in the building across the street.

After chatting with Peggy for a while, Mike remembered to call the three girls from the "Devil Body Group".

The Miracle Corporation, where the three worked, was also located in Manhattan.

As night fell, Mike prepared a sumptuous dinner for the three members of the "Devilish Figures" group who arrived later, as well as little Peggy.

After dinner, Peggy wisely went back to her room.

Then, against the backdrop of Manhattan's dazzling night view, a fierce and exhilarating battle unfolded in front of the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Having not seen each other for more than half a year, the three girls from the "Devilish Figures" group put in an exceptionally strong effort in this battle.

[Holy attribute +1]... [Flexibility attribute +1]... [Dance experience +99]... [Singing experience +66]...

The girls' next inspirational album is finished and ready for release in early October. That means they're currently on a break.

Therefore, for the next period of time, the girls took Mike and Peggy to various tourist spots in Apple City during the day, and returned to the villa at night to continue their relationship with Mike.

Chapter 338 Enrollment

More than a week later, because the three girls from the "Devil Body Group" did not inform the company in advance, they accompanied Mike to "disappear".

He was approached by the manager of Miracle Company and taken back.

On the same day, Chris led Jesse and Carly to Mike's private villa.

"They both want to see you," Chris explained.

Because they had gone through thick and thin together, Chris, Jesse, and Carly had a very good relationship.

Chris could also tell that both girls were interested in Mike, so he was willing to do them a favor.

"By the way, Jesse is now a department manager at the investment company. As for Carly, she wants to be your personal assistant." After explaining the two girls' work arrangements, Chris wisely took his leave.

It had been almost a year since they last met, and the two young women, in the prime of their youth, had become even more charming. Moreover, it was clear they had dressed up specially for today's meeting with Mike.

"Don't be nervous, would you like something to drink?" Mike asked after leading the girl into the living room.

After learning about Mike's financial situation, the two girls became somewhat reserved due to their different social classes.

“Anything is fine with me~” the two girls replied.

"Then let's have red wine, it'll help you relax." Mike went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, and poured a glass for each of the two girls.

As the wine sloshed around, the two girls relaxed to some extent.

Mike chatted with the girls about everyday things and their recent lives, then suddenly asked, "By the way, where do you live now?"

“Jesse and I are still living at home, but considering the convenience of commuting to work in the future, we are planning to rent a place together,” Carly replied.

"Is that so?" Mike thought for a moment and then invited, "Why don't you move in with me? I have plenty of rooms."

Mike's detached villa has three floors, and each floor is divided into many rooms.

"Is it okay? Will it be inconvenient?" Carly asked frankly, but her face showed joy.

The situation is similar for Jesse.

Although both girls grew up in Apple City and came from well-off families, their options for buying a house in the expensive commercial district were still somewhat limited.

Not to mention a luxury villa like Mike's.

"What, you guys don't want to stay with me?" Mike asked with a knowing smile.

The two girls, who already knew Mike was a womanizer, still couldn't resist his smile.

【圣**属性+1】……【圣**属性+1】……【柔韧属性+1】……【柔韧属性+1】……【巧舌属性+1】……

After the curtains were drawn, the battle began.

The initial awkwardness between the three gradually disappeared during the exercise.

"here we go again!!!"

Peggy, who was reading to pass the time in the room, looked down at her toes with a troubled expression.

Then, I put on a big pair of headphones.

If you don't listen, you won't be bothered.

In the evening, Carly, feeling refreshed after her intense workout, took on the task of making dinner to prove she was capable of being a personal assistant.

However, without professional training, the dinner she made was only edible.

Of course, Mike isn't picky either. As for cooking skills, as long as you're willing, you can learn them gradually in the future.

Two more days passed, and Lina, who had applied to Columbia Business School, also arrived in Apple City.

Mike also took her to stay at the villa.

From then on, Mike lived a carefree life where everything was done for him, and he had someone to take care of him.

And just like that, time flew by, and it was early September, the start of the semester at Columbia University.

In front of the dressing mirror, Carly, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, was adjusting Mike's collar.

Judging from her infatuated expression, she seemed to have completely immersed herself in the role.

Mike's blue and white casual outfit today was designed and made by Carly.

This outfit imitates the style of a suit, but with special treatment at the collar and cuffs.

His casual yet formal attire added a touch of charming aristocratic elegance to Mike's already handsome appearance.

Just like that time at the Genovia ball.

It must be said that Carly has a strong professional background; even simple designs are imbued with inspiration in her hands. With her skill level, if she didn't become a "maid," she could probably open her own branded store and make a lot of money.

"You look so handsome today~" Looking at her masterpiece, Carly couldn't help but leave a lipstick mark on Mike's face.

If she could, she wouldn't want Mike to go out. Who knew how many girls he'd charm with, given his womanizing ways?

"Tsk~"

Just as Carly was being all lovey-dovey, little Peggy, who was waiting at the door, voiced her dissatisfaction.

Although the little girl was very confident that in the end, she would be the only one by Mike's side.

But seeing Mike behaving intimately with other girls still makes her feel very uncomfortable.

……

A moment later, a red Ferrari drove through the bustling streets toward Columbia University.

Columbia University and its business school, although located on two separate campuses, are not far apart.

"Lina, I'll pick you up after registration is over." Mike first took Lina to the business school.

After saying goodbye to the girl, the red Ferrari turned a corner and drove into Columbia University's main campus.

Many of the students here are wealthy, and although Mike's sports car is flashy, it doesn't attract much attention on campus.

However, as soon as Mike and Peggy walked out of the parking lot, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Most of them were girls who came because of Mike's good looks.

It might not be obvious to acquaintances, but Mike's good looks are a game-changer when he's around strangers.

Moreover, college students are at the age when their hormones are at their peak.

“Brother, have you heard of the Brotherhood of Sigma? We’re just missing someone like you…” At the entrance of the teaching building, a muscular upperclassman strode up to greet him.

Today, on the day of welcoming new students, is also the day when various university clubs select members.

"Johnny, stop it. What's so great about joining your gang of brutes..."

The person arrived before the voice.

Then, an upperclassman dressed in an expensive suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped aside from Johnny and smiled at Mike, saying, "Let me introduce myself first. I am Robert Musk, a fourth-year student and the president of the Brotherhood of Victory. Welcome to the Brotherhood of Victory."

Because of the rise of the Illuminati and Skull and Bones, various fraternities and sorority groups are very popular at Migo University.

Furthermore, because such spontaneous groups are often involved in bullying incidents, their reputation is not very good.

Of course, joining the right clubs can help you develop your network, improve your organizational and leadership skills, and cultivate your specific talents.

"Thank you for the invitation, but I need to think about it some more." Wanting to expand his network, Mike didn't directly refuse Robert's offer.

“This is our flyer. If you’ve changed your mind, feel free to come find me anytime.” Robert, with his impeccable manners, didn’t press the issue further.
