1689. Donations from prestigious schools

Seeing Billy crossing his chest, Qin Shiou thought he was fucked, so he quickly grabbed his shoulder and shook it hard, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Billy rolled his eyes in anger: "Of course I'm fine. I'm praying and thanking me. What are you doing?"

Qin Shiou smiled and withdrew his hand. Winnie slapped him, knowing that he was deliberately funny. Melon slapped him, and then felt that he had taken advantage of it, and was smirking there.

There is nothing to introduce at the wedding scene. He has experienced it all. This time, the location has been changed, the host has changed, the bride and groom has changed, and the priest has finished hosting, and the bride and groom has exchanged wedding rings, and the rest is to eat and drink.

Of course, there was a link before that was to send blessing gifts. Qin Shiou and Winnie gave black pearls and deep-sea red corals. After the box was opened, the black pearls were mysteriously dark, and the red corals were as gorgeous as fire, and they were all high-end goods.

Then the group returned to the manor, and there were long tables neatly arranged. Qin Shiou was helpless when he saw that he wanted to eat Western food.

He used a buffet to get married at that time, which was an advantage that everyone could eat what they like and could communicate in circles.

The Brandon family is an old-fashioned nobleman, and the dishes and wines for wedding banquets are extremely strict. Qin Shiou was not very interested in Western food, but a dish of white wine, clams and butter soup was good. He wanted to bring bread, and he was very happy to dip it in. The steak behind did not move, and he would deliver it whatever he wanted.

Billy sat next to Qin Shiou. A local businessman was arranged next to him, but because Xiangna arrived, she was temporarily removed, but now she has been replaced by Xiangna.

During the meal, except for a few toasts to the newcomer, Billy was chatting with Shana in a low voice, making the latter laugh.

Qin Shiou glanced at him and whispered to Winnie: "Can we still make a good thing happen this time?"

Winnie shrugged while cutting the steak, "If that's the case, then we won't be in vain this time. It would be great if Billy and Shana can fall in love. I know both of them, they are good people."

Qin Shiou sighed: "Not necessarily, you don't know much about Billy. I think if Shanna is really tricked by Billy, she will hate you."

As he said that, he waved to the waiter and signaled to take away the empty plate where he had drunk all the soup, then brought the plate of his daughter next to him, and continued to dip it happily in bread.

The little girl was drinking soup with a small spoon and was suddenly taken away and suddenly became angry. She pounced on her short legs and reached out and shouted: "Dad, hate! Annoying! Annoying!"

Qin Shiou pretended to be intimate and wiped the corners of her mouth, and smiled and said, "Don't eat anymore, you are still young, you have to eat with restraint, otherwise you will become a fat girl in the future!"

Winnie looked helpless and happy as the father and daughter played, and when she saw this scene, Shanna smiled even happier when she faced Billy.

After the meal, Qin Shiou was about to leave. Billy grabbed him and whispered: "I feel like I'm in love with this cute girl. Do you still have a lot of black pearls in your fishing ground? I'll take some and give her some as a gift."

Qin Shiou said: "How much do you want?"

Billy said: "Four or five pieces are enough. How much does it cost to make a earring and necklace pendant for her?"

Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and said righteously: "What money do you want? Let's treat this relationship as I give it to you and sponsor your wife who pursues your future."

Billy was immediately moved and said, "Then I heard that you still have some sunken corals in your hands..."

"Get out!" Qin Shiou immediately turned his back on his face.

After attending the wedding, Winnie and her classmates in London gathered again. Qin Shiou stayed at the farm to play with her daughter and the little guys. Billy left first, saying that he would not go to the ocean to salvage and would take the postgraduate entrance examination to go to the University of Xi'an Dali.

Qin Shiou thought he was joking, but this guy made a fuss in front of the computer at night and really got an interview letter for graduate students from Ivy League schools.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, when did I not do things seriously?" Billy said impatiently.

Qin Shiou said strangely: "But graduate students need to take the exam. Do you enter the interview without taking the exam?"

Billy smiled proudly and shook his fingers and said, "You may not know that I donated 10 million US dollars to my alma mater to improve the laboratory, so it's very simple for me to ask for a graduate student invitation, and some professors are willing to accept me."

Speaking of this, Qin Shiou remembered some tricks in American universities, that is, donating money from graduates.

In order to prove their fairness, top European and American universities always emphasize that their admissions are "ignoring needs", that is, no matter whether the students can pay tuition fees during admission, as long as their grades meet the requirements, they can be admitted. For example, universities such as Harvard will even waive tuition fees for poor or middle-aged students.

Prestigious schools may really do this, but that is they are buying reputation for themselves. In fact, they have other ways to make money, that is, accepting graduates.

Donations and admissions have become a hidden rule for European and American universities. It is not just that universities will repay their favor after the rich donates. Ambition universities often actively admit the children of the rich and constantly please the rich, hoping to get generous donations.

According to a social survey, as long as you sponsor $200,000, a student can be admitted to ordinary private colleges first. For better universities, this number will reach $500,000, and parents of students need to promise to invest more donations in the future.

Even better universities, such as those in the top 25, have to donate at least millions of dollars to obtain an admission qualification. For those top ten prestigious schools, millions of dollars are just passing the exam.

So in the United States and Canada, there is no chance of fair competition for the children of rich and poor people.

Take Gordon and Weiss, who are playing together every day, as an example. If Auerbach had not adopted those children, they would not even have the opportunity to go to school. What about Weiss? He practices martial arts every day now, but in the future he can at least go to a prestigious school like the University of Chicago, because his parents and grandfathers had paved the way for him to study in colleges and universities with donations.

The evil capitalism, Qin Daguan thought indignantly, these capitalists occupied a lot of resources for ordinary people. How could such a poor family produce noble children?

When Winnie came back later, he asked, "I said, dear, have you ever thought about donating money to your school?"

Winnie took off her makeup and said, "I thought about it when I was in school, but now I don't think about it anymore."

Qin Shiou asked, "Why is this?"

Winnie shrugged and said, "Because I was very naive when I was in school, now I am mature. Why, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" (To be continued.)
