Chapter 150: The sky is high and the earth is thick
It is often said that money can't buy time, but this is not entirely true.
Wage earners are not just exchanging their time and energy for money to get by.
And with their help, Chen Linzhi, as the boss, has more free time, and from a certain point of view, it does allow him to have his own leisure time, and he has exchanged money for more time in disguise.
The beauty of being rich is not just freedom.
Anastasia's father, who recently bought a life with money, donated $500,000 to a medical company for research and successfully put his name on the trial list.
It is said that the operation is very successful, and you only need to rest in the hospital for a period of time, if nothing else, you don't have to worry about heart defects for the next ten or twenty years.
Finding experimental medical drugs to cure diseases is one of the privileges of the rich and powerful, Chen Linzhi has long heard of this, but it is the first time he has encountered the real thing, in the past, he was too ordinary to contact the upper circles.
Anastasia spent two weeks in Washington, D.C., and was ready to return to Bentonville after her father recovered.
Before returning to work, she made a special detour to San Francisco.
During this period, Chen Linzhi mentioned whether she should visit her father, but Anastasia told him that it was not necessary for the time being, most likely because she was not ready to take him to see his family, and the timing was not right, so as not to be stimulated for a while after her old son had just finished surgery.
In addition to getting tired in the room, Chen Linzhi found time to accompany her to the mall and enjoy food.
this day.
The two came to a restaurant in San Francisco and tasted sashimi sea urchin and the like, all using the best ingredients, and the taste was okay, which was better than exquisite.
Wrap the sea urchin seeds in seaweed slices, add two shallots and half a spoon of sauce, roll and put in your mouth.
Chen Linzhi said vaguely while eating:
"It's okay to be fine, your father is only in his fifties, his body is strong, I have heard of xenomorph biological valve technology, it should be okay not to exercise too vigorously in the future."
I've always wanted to take time to travel to Philadelphia and New York on the East Coast, but now the company is in some trouble, and I don't know how long it will last, and I can't leave for a while. ”
"I went to take care of my father, and I didn't go to travel, so what else can Washington do, except for more politicians, it's not much different from other cities. The White House, the monuments, the Lincoln Memorial, are all very boring places. ”
Anastasia doesn't know how to use chopsticks, and the posture of holding chopsticks is indescribable, and she is busy rolling udon noodles with them.
She looked up at Chen Linzhi and asked curiously, "What's wrong with your company, didn't there still be many orders last time?"
"There are a lot of orders now, but I'm worried that the number of peers is increasing, and the competition may be fierce until the profit is compressed to a reasonable range, and everyone will not make much money. ”
Chen Linzhi drank a sip of puffer fish soup, and the clerk had tasted it in front of their interview in advance, and he was still alive and kicking, otherwise he would not dare to drink it.
This soup is very exciting to drink, Chen Linzhi only feels that the taste is no different from ordinary fish soup, slightly thicker, and the taste is fresher.
A platter of bluefin tuna, bonito, and salmon.
Anastasia tasted a piece of mustard, her eyes red as if she had cried, and never touched them again.
Dozens of dollars were spent, and Chen Linzhi had to eat by herself, and continued to tell her: "This business will continue, but I have already begun to consider putting the focus of the business elsewhere." ”
Anastasia's limited ability to help him with investment issues could not help him, and told with a smile: "Like a singer? I contacted my friend before I came to San Francisco, and she asked me to take you on a tour and listen to the songs you wrote in person." I'm going to compliment you in front of her, but don't expect too much just yet, she can't be in charge of releasing the record, and it's up to her boss to decide. ”
"Okay, I can go at any time, singing can be regarded as a hobby like my collection of antiques, but it shouldn't be the main business. Before you came, I had just gone to the bookstore and bought a lot of books, business books about financial companies, and I was trying to think like a Wall Street bastard. ”
"My father also likes to read those kinds of books, and it's important to develop a mind that can make money, as long as you don't become like them, it's good to read more. ”
Wall Street financial companies always try to squeeze the last coin out of people's pockets. The notorious image is gaining traction with scandals such as stock market crashes and insider deals, and people like the high income of Wall Street white-collar workers, but they don't like the existence of a group of greedy people.
Since meeting with Yu Luoqi and feeling the risks, Chen Linzhi has ordered several more newspapers, checking the news every day, recording news that he thinks is worth paying attention to, such as the possible merger of East Germany and West Germany, and the beginning of reforms in the Soviet Union.
I also took the time to learn about what Lao Li in Hong Kong City, Warren Buffett in the United States, and Yoshiaki Tsumi, the richest man in the United States, are doing in the near future, so as to sum up successful experiences and make a realistic and long-term plan.
Accompany Anastasia to eat and drink to her heart's content, and drive a Ferrari to the cinema to kill time.
Halfway through, she borrowed her mobile phone to call a friend and made an appointment to meet at Universal Music headquarters in Los Angeles at noon tomorrow.
Anyway, it had been so long since she went to work, and Anastasia decided to stay a few more days.
————————————
Last time, I also took a road trip along Highway 1, but the difference was that the girl next to me was changed to Anastasia.
Driving a supercar for a long distance is definitely a decision that Chen Linzhi regrets very much, and when he finally finds the location of the headquarters of Universal Music, he feels that his whole body no longer belongs to him.
Anastasia's friend is named Jenny Campbell, and the two were not calm at all after they met, hugging each other and laughing, Chen Linzhi rarely saw her so happy.
Anastasia calmly introduced Chen Linzhi and said that he was her boyfriend.
Jenny Campbell, who has long red hair, a high nose bridge, and freckles on her face, looked at Chen Linzhi carefully and wondered how she could find an Asian boyfriend on her terms.
It's not that there is any prejudice, but with Anatasia's conditions, there is no doubt that a better boyfriend can be found, even if it is with French movie star Alain Delon, it will make Jenny Campbell feel normal, she knows how strong Anastasia's family background is.
didn't dare to be reckless, for the sake of friends, Chen Linzhi was directly brought to the supervisor, and Jenny Campbell took them to the recording studio first out of prudence.
Find a few employees and ask Chen Linzhi to try to sing a short section first to see how the song and timbre are.
When they learned that there were only lyrics and no arrangement, several Universal Music employees were helpless, thinking that they were probably the kind of hairy boy who didn't know the sky and thought they could be famous.
There is a Bruce Lee in the film and television circle, and there are really few Asians in the circle of well-known American singers.
Just looking at Chen Linzhi's appearance, they preconceived that it was not good......
