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.

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.

“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?”
