Chapter 2608

Charlie asked in a puzzled way: “Why does it make you feel boring to help companies make more

profits? Isn't your teaching now also helping schools cultivate more talents? I think there is nothing

between the two. They're absolutely different.”

Pollard smiled slightly and said seriously: “To be honest, I am not a person who loves money very

much.”

With that, Pollard said with some emotion: “Actually, after the money reaches a certain level, it

doesn’t make sense to me. My living condition must have been fixed since I earned half a million

dollars a year until When I made 10 million U.S. dollars a year, my standard of living and condition

were the same as when I made half a million dollars a year.

"Although I am not a rich person, I have worked for so many years and have saved tens of millions

of dollars. In addition, I have made some stock investments. I have some shares of Apple and Tesla.

If you discount it all, you might get two to three hundred million dollars. Although the money is

not comparable to Mr. Wade's Emgrand Group, I don't know where to spend it."

“The house I live in now is not expensive. All the investment is added up, and it is about one million.

I can afford an expensive house. I just find it too troublesome to live in, and it is unnecessary.”

“The car I drive is a Tesla. This is the most common one. It is economical and environmentally

friendly. When all the investment is added up, it is less than 60,000 US dollars in RMB."

"And my monthly expenses, only a few thousand dollars are enough, and my current salary alone

can cover all these expenses. As for the remaining money, it can only be stored in the bank account.

It has completely lost its liquidity, no matter how much money I earn, I will donate all of it to charity

in the future, so for me, I feel that I might as well just teach diligently here.”

Charlie asked in surprise, “Aren’t you going to leave a generous sum of money for your children?”

Pollard smiled and said, “I really don't have any thoughts about this. My daughter is about the same

age as you, and her living condition is about the same as mine. She can make money, but she won't

spend money at all, and she has no motivation to spend money.”

Charlie couldn't help feeling a bit difficult when he heard this. Pollard is obviously not interested in

money and only wants to teach and educate people. In this case, what does he do to impress him

and make him willing to do it with him?

After thinking about it, Charlie didn't think of a good way. However, a black and white sketch on the

wall of Pollard’s office attracted his attention.

The simple strokes of the sketch only drew the shape of a tree. It didn't seem to be peculiar. Even

most people could hardly tell the species of this tree by its shape.

But Charlie still looked at the painting and said with interest:

"Professor Watt, did you draw this sketch by yourself?”

Pollard asked curiously, “How do you know? I didn’t sign the money on it either.”

Charlie smiled and said, “Because I know this tree.”

"Oh?" Pollard hurriedly asked him, “Since you know this tree, can you tell me something about it?”

Charlie nodded and smiled: “Professor Watt, the tree you painted is actually a redwood tree in

California, USA."

Pollard was taken aback for a moment. At this time, Charlie continued: “In fact, this simple stroke of

yours should have been taken from the Stanford University emblem. If I remember correctly, the

pattern in the center of the Stanford University emblem is like this. A red cedar tree.”

Pollard asked in surprise: “Is Mr. Wade also a graduate from Stanford?”
