Chapter 338 Carnival
In the next few days, the two were inseparable and spent every moment together.
Even when Jiang Yinqiu went to Columbia University to attend classes, Ma Liang followed him like a shadow and did not want to be separated for a moment.
The rest of the time, the two of them traveled around and visited various major attractions in New York City.
They have appeared in the Metropolitan Museum, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Fifth Avenue, Broadway, the Brooklyn Bridge, etc.
The two of them wandered around this day and went to Times Square in midtown Manhattan.
The square was originally named Longacre Square, but was later renamed Times Square because of the early headquarters building set up here by the New York Times.
This triangle area formed by the intersection of Seventh Avenue and Broadway Avenue can be said to be extremely prosperous. It is home to many Broadway theaters and has a large number of dazzling neon light tube advertisements and large advertising screens. It is known as the crossroads of the world.
Times Square has deeply become a symbol of New York, reflecting the strong urban identity of Manhattan, the financial city.
This is also the only area in New York City where planning ordinances require property owners to hang eye-catching advertising boards.
As you approach Times Square, you can see colorful neon lights and street performers everywhere.
There are countless large screens hanging on the building that play news, song MVs, and TV programs at any time, which is enough to shock everyone's attention.
The most famous among them is undoubtedly the huge semi-cylindrical advertising screen of NASDAQ.
Built in 1999, this large outdoor LED screen at the Nasdaq Exchange Building is known as the world's largest screen. The information displayed on it every day is the focus of global attention.
Whenever a new company name appears on this big screen, it means that another entrepreneurial company has been listed on Nasdaq.
Looking at the US stock information floating on the Nasdaq advertising screen, Ma Liang's heart surged.
One day he will take his company to this place that countless business owners yearn for.
"What are you looking at? Are you standing still?" Seeing him stop, Jiang Yinqiu couldn't help but asked curiously.
Ma Liang turned to look at the affectionate Sister Jiang and said grandly: "Senior, look, this is Nasdaq.
Can you believe it, in a few years the names of my companies will appear here."
"Well, I believe you." Jiang Yinqiu looked at his lover's proud face and became inexplicably excited.
For some reason, she was full of confidence in Ma Liang and didn't think he was bragging at all.
Ma Liang laughed loudly and said happily: "Senior sister, you will be my bell ringer when the time comes."
"That's my honor!" Jiang Yinqiu smiled, not to mention how happy he was.
After shopping in Times Square for a long time, Ma Liang took Sister Jiang University shopping around again, shopping for her for a while.
After being separated for more than half a year, he finally met her and pampered her.
"Look, why are you buying these? I don't usually need them." Jiang Yinqiu looked at the pile of clothes and bags in his hands and felt a headache.
If she really needed it, she had money herself, so there was no need for Ma Liang to buy it for her.
The pocket money given by her family is enough for her extravagant spending, not to mention that her lover keeps replenishing her coffers every month.
Ma Lianghun didn't care and hurriedly explained: "Have you forgotten? You just said yesterday that you will go to Goldman Sachs for an internship in two months. How can you do it without some decent clothes?
I, Boss Ma’s wife, cannot be looked down upon by others.”
Just like many super second-generation people, the family will pave the way early and make career arrangements in advance.
Even though Sister Jiang Daxue is still studying, considering her family background, it is not a big deal to arrange one or two days a week to intern at Goldman Sachs Group. All the prestigious families in China do this.
Otherwise, the financial industry is no longer an area that ordinary grassroots can get involved in, because the best resources have been divided up by the second generation.
Even financial oligarchs like Goldman Sachs would do this deliberately.
After all, these large financial groups take the initiative to attract young elites from various countries in order to lay out their human resources in advance.
In order to enable the group's business to be leveraged in various countries at any time and maintain its everlasting foundation.
Don't think that only the ancestors of China understand thick black science and the emperor's mind. Foreigners are not bad at playing with human nature.
If you do a little research, you will find that many of China's top second-generation people have working experience in large investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
Sister Jiang's internship was arranged in advance by the Jiang family by looking for connections.
Otherwise, her parents were very confident that their daughter would get rid of Ma Liang, a toad. If another girl had experienced the highest level of games in the world, she would never take a small businessman seriously again.
It's a pity that Ma Liang is a fake, and he is completely beyond the understanding of Jiang Yinqiu's parents.
Not only did Sister Jiang University fall more and more in love with her, she even slept directly on the same bed, which was really a bit inappropriate.
"It's not like I'm formal. I have to keep a low profile when I'm going to do an internship." Jiang Yinqiu replied coquettishly.
She has never been a fan of publicity, so she is really not used to wearing such big brands to work.
Ma Liang hurriedly advised: "Don't, the financial industry is the place where you face wealth the most, let alone Wall Street.
There are a lot of snobs in the workplace here, and the richer you are, the more respected you are.
If you dress too shabbily, you will definitely have a hard time during your internship. You may be assigned to do odd jobs all day long, and you won't learn anything real at all.
It's better to show off your background and strength so that you can get more and better opportunities."
"It's nonsense, it's not that exaggerated. You've never worked on Wall Street, how do you know so much?" Jiang Yinqiu obviously didn't believe what he said.
Ma Liang shook his head helplessly and replied angrily: "That's easy, go back to the internship and try it yourself and you will know.
Wear something shabby in the first week and see if anyone will take you seriously."
"Hmph, I don't believe it. I will prove it to you when the time comes. You can get ahead by relying on your ability." Jiang Yinqiu still didn't take it seriously.
That's how it is between lovers, they don't agree with each other on everything, there are always some differences in concepts.
Occasionally having a little quarrel is also a kind of fun.
It didn't take long for both of them to have shopping bags hanging on their hands, and they couldn't carry anything anymore. Ma Liang's shopping trip for his beloved wife finally came to an end.
The two of them packed their bags and walked back, planning to find a place to have dinner first.
Walking on the streets of Times Square, you will see all kinds of large advertisements that you can’t help but look at.
As they walked, an advertisement was playing on the big screen in one of the commercial buildings, which caught Ma Liang's attention.
[South by Southwest 2007, Austin, Texas, welcome!]
Ma Liang didn't take it seriously at first, but after taking two or three more steps, he instantly recalled the relevant information in his mind.
SXSW (South by Southwest) is a carnival held annually in Austin, Texas, USA, consisting of three major fields: music, film and interactive multimedia.
This is a top-notch event and he must go.
