Chapter 593
Everything had been planned beforehand. The alumni took turns taking to the Find the newest release on Find✶Novel.net
stage to talk about their outstanding achievements in different industries. Not only did they share their own experiences, but they also encouraged the students to work hard.
Some of them even promised to help out their juniors if they found themselves facing challenges in their life or work in the future. Their juniors could seek them out whenever they needed to, and they would help them out of their tight spots, which earned them thunderous applause from the students.
Everyone who went up onto the stage to speak were the cream of the crop in their respective fields. There was a core figure in the nuclear military industry, as well as a researcher who had dedicated her whole life to the field of Zargonian Studies.
Alexi was among those who were fortunate enough to be invited to give a speech on the stage. He was a big shot in the finance world and was also known as "the wolf on Fall Street".
His impact was so great that he was partially responsible for the direction the wind blew in the finance industry. A few words from him was also all it would take for there to be a change in the financial market.
When he walked onto the stage, loud applause resounded from the audience that were seated below. With a smile stretched across his face, Alexi began his speech.
"I was one of the students who was personally taught by George. I agree wholeheartedly with what he said earlier, that every generation will have their own fair share of talents. I myself have experienced the validity of this statement.
"You might not know this, but what I am most grateful for this year isn't the surge in the stock market. It's also not how my son was able to enroll in Harverd Business School to pursue his master's degree. What I am most grateful for is the opportunity to witness a fellow student of Alnewgo University achieve greatness with the company he founded in the overseas market."
The people below the stage began to discuss amongst themselves, wondering which company Alexi was talking about that was founded by an Alnewgo University student. Some students guessed that he could be referring to Genesis Games, since the company had caused a huge sensation in Zargonia recently. Furthermore, it was slated to turn into a public-listed company on the Masdaq Stock Exchange soon.
"That's right. I'm sure some of you have already correctly guessed what I am most proud of, which is Genesis Games. I even received some news earlier that they've achieved spectacular financial results. With the founding of Genesis, a giant in the internet industry has been born, which will no doubt lead to a successful expansion into the overseas market," Alexi exclaimed excitedly.
"But there's not much point in me saying all of this. I'm just grateful to be able to be a part of the old guard of Alnewgo University who can push the new generation of students to a brighter future. The man that is charging forward to this bright future is indeed a part of Alnewgo University, and he's still a student as well. He is seated amongst us, celebrating the university's 100th year of establishment with all of us."
Alexi's declaration was akin to a bomb exploding on the peaceful surface of a lake. The entire stadium immediately erupted into an uproar.
The School of Finance students were especially loud and raucous. Most of them had already guessed the mysterious identity of the founder when they saw Alexi accompany Jack away earlier.
Isaac's eyes were as wide as saucers when he stared at Jack, who was seated in the front. He tugged on the hem of Samuel's shirt and stammered, "What the fuck! The person that Alexi is talking about... Could it... Could it really be Jack?"
On the other hand, Joshua was still in denial of the truth. "What kind of joke is this? Does Jack look like the type of guy to have assets that are worth over 100 billion dollars? The clothes that he buys don't even cost more than 100 dollars!"
Isaac and Joshua dreamt about earning 10 million dollars in five to 10 years after graduating from Alnewgo University. They planned to buy a house in Alnewgo, so their future wives and children would be able to live a comfortable life. They had no idea that while they had been dreaming about that, Jack had already surpassed them so greatly, to the point where they couldn't even see his silhouette in the distance any longer.
A boss of a company that was worth 100 billion dollars? It was unbelievable.
Isaac was convinced that even if he won the lottery in this life, he wouldn't be able to achieve even one percent of Jack's current wealth. He would wake up with a smile if he could even earn a thousandth of that astonishing number.
Alexi did not reveal the identity of the mysterious student. He descended from the stage after finishing his speech.
George took the stage once more to replace Alexi, earning himself another round of applause. After George finished his speech, the other school administrators went up onto the stage and continued to speak passionately.
