"Mr. Zheng, the latest price of the oil contract is $27 and 35 cents—"

After the car stopped, Zheng Jianguo got out of the car, and while he was looking at the tall building, the middle-aged man beckoned the person at the door to ask, turned his head and said the news to him, and saw Zheng Jianguo nodding noncommittally, raising his feet and walking towards the golden glass door, as the male waiters in tuxedos on both sides of the door opened the door, with a cool smile: "Welcome——"

The coolness was blown out by the air conditioner after opening the door, Zheng Jianguo had a faint smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, which showed that his smile was put on, and the corners of his mouth were the real reaction of his mood, and his mood was still not good.

Who knows that he has lost tens of millions again, and he is afraid that his mood will not be better, right?

Following Zheng Jianguo into the lobby, the middle-aged man responded with a smile to the waiters on both sides of him, and after a few steps next to Zheng Jianguo, he said: "The elevator over there is for external use, and the club members have their own elevators——"

"I also have a special elevator on my own turf——"

Zheng Jianguo nodded and followed the middle-aged man, and soon stepped on the soft carpet after leaving the lobby with a marble floor, the light above his head dimmed at some point, and when the tone and luminosity were not unbridled, he saw two men in suits and leather shoes standing in the corridor, and he also said with a smile when he accelerated his pace and reached more than a meter in front of the two: "Mr. Augustus, let's meet again." ”

"Zheng, you and I don't have to be so polite, just call me Augustus, this is Big John, the manager of our club-"

Augustus introduced the man next to him to Zheng Jianguo with a smile on his face, the middle-aged man named Big John had a gentle smile on his face, reached out and shook Zheng Jianguo's outstretched hand, and opened his mouth as soon as he touched it: "Welcome home, Zheng, I'm Big John, the housekeeper of the club——"

"Big John is a DBA at Harvard Business School, and his father and grandfather were both butlers to the British Crown, so we kept him in order to keep him? But a lot of wasted energy? Zheng, you'll learn everything you're interested in from him—"

Augustus didn't have a high voice? The deep voice is like a narration for a documentary? Of course, this is Zheng Jianguo's feeling, few people will know what kind of DBA degree is? Especially for the vast majority of ordinary people.

This is a Ph.D. in business administration from Harvard Business School, if it were applied to medical school? That is almost equivalent to passing the learning and assessment of Zheng Jianguo's MD and PhD joint training program? Whoever got an MBA in his previous life could be regarded as a lifetime of glory.

And the DBA?

The vast majority of people don't know and don't need to know about the degree.

It's just that this is nothing in front of Zheng Jianguo, he is now holding the titles of Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Physics from Harvard, but what does he not know? Big John focused on something else: "Zheng? Although I knew you were very young, it wasn't until you appeared in the distance and walked towards me that I kept telling myself that this young man who was walking towards me with a smile on his face was a young man under the age of 20? Zheng, you don't know what the advantages of being young are-"

"Mr. Big John? I know that the advantage of being young is that I can wait patiently for the news of being on the podium of the Nobel Prize—"

Facing compliments from DBAs? Zheng Jianguo didn't humbly follow the words of Big John, so much so that even Augustus next to him laughed and said, "Zheng? Will your rhetoric become a lever for some people? But you're so young? Let them say it, and we can go up. ”

"Do I need to wear formal clothes?"

Seeing that Augustus and Big John were both dressed as men in deputy suits, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but look at the short-sleeved shirt on his body, and he didn't think that he would say this before Augustus smiled: "You need to wear formal clothes, but you can go to your room to change, we can wait for you outside the door-"

"My room?"

Zheng Jianguo followed the two into the elevator and asked, but his eyes found that the middle-aged man who picked him up was actually left outside the elevator door, and there was already a man dressed as a waiter in the elevator car to help them press the door button and the floor, Big John smiled: "Every official member has his own room in the club, and everything in it is provided by the club, I hope you are still satisfied." ”

"Okay—"

The cognition of the members' benefits came to mind, and Zheng Jianguo thought in a blink of an eye that he didn't have the key, but considering that he didn't know much about the club, he pressed this idea and changed the topic: "Augustus, the contract in my hand has been-"

"Zheng, we can talk about this later. ”

Augustus shook his head to stop Zheng Jianguo from talking, and Big John also glanced at him and said, "Zheng, these things need to be said in the club." ”

"Isn't this still in the club?"

A question resurfaced in his mind, Zheng Jianguo saw Augustus nodding as if he could sense his thoughts, and after his face changed slightly, he looked at the waiter next to him, the three of them are all official members of the club, so this is the one who is worried?

It's just that soon, as the running elevator stopped, Augustus and Big John stepped out of the elevator car, and after Zheng Jianguo stepped to follow, he heard Big John speak: "I can say it now, of course, provided that you are willing to share this news with me for free, and I don't want to exchange some news with you-"

"Hehe, Big John, don't be kidding, Zheng, I'll take you to your room. ”

Augustus interrupted Big John's words with a smile, Zheng Jianguo also smiled at Big John and followed Augustus away, looking at the extremely ordinary doors on both sides were not imaginary numbers, but names one by one, Augustus's voice came: "These are the names of the masters, the doors of these rooms are not locked, but I can assure you that the security of these doors is higher than the bulletproof doors of your house - at what price did you close the position?"

"$30 is my psychological level, and of course the price after closing the position is already $29 and 83 cents——"

Remembering that this was probably a foreshadowing of a formal topic, Zheng Jianguo also recalled that his transaction had said, and sure enough, Augustus said: "Then you have almost doubled your earnings, why don't you wait until you bottom out before closing the position?"

"Because before I do anything, I set myself a goal that I have to stop when I make a lot of money, so that I don't get controlled by greed. ”

Passing by one name after another, Zheng Jianguo found that some of these names were heard by him in his previous life, and some had never been heard of, but when the letters on the door in front of him changed from letters to Chinese characters, and this Chinese character was still the three words "Zheng Jianguo" in italics, he swallowed heavily: "Do you know these three words?"

"There are already many people who know it, including me, and I also know the literal meaning of these three words being disassembled and combined together, Zheng, in the history of the republic, is the name of the country, and later evolved into a surname, building is the establishment of the country and legislation, the country is the regional regime, and your name is combined together, it is the meaning of your Zheng family to commemorate the establishment of the country. ”

Standing in front of the door of the house marked with the three characters of Zheng Jianguo, after Augustus finished talking about the knowledge he had made up, he turned his head and said: "Zheng, although you are not the first Chinese in the Harvard Club, you are still the first to bring your name into the club, this is a very historical moment, because here you are not representing yourself-"

"I see. ”

Eyebrows quickly raised, Zheng Jianguo turned around and reached out to the handle and pushed open the door, only to see that there was no carpet oil painting crystal lamp he imagined, but a piece of flat land that was rare in New York City, messily placed with Maza benches and square tables.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Augustus spoke: "This is from your home in Shanxian, they didn't find the chair and bed you used to sit on, so they had it made according to the most popular style of the Republic, and your clothes, shoes and hats are in the closet——"

"Thank you!"

Frowning, Zheng Jianguo almost thought he was back in China when he opened the door and saw the interior layout, but the voice from behind reminded him of his position, and he knew what this group of people were doing, so he took his bag and raised his feet to the big closet and opened it, looking at the neat shirts, ties, suits, shoes and socks inside, and counted exactly ten sets without effort.

Silently took out his shirt and glanced at the mirror in the door of the big closet, Zheng Jianguo quickly changed it and found that the shoulders and waist were incomparably fitted, so he said, "Is this my latest size?"

"I don't know, but you can ask Big John when you meet him, and he's in charge of everything here. ”

Of course, Augustus knew that this thing was talking to him, but when he saw Zheng Jianguo who turned around, he couldn't help but light up: "Although there is more flamboyance and less stability, it's just as Big John said, you are still young, just the age of high spirits, come on, tell me what you think, I also have a question for you here, of course, provided that you are willing to tell me-"

"Oh, Augustus, I'll be happy to answer your questions, you ask. ”

Throwing the bag in the room and closing the door, Zheng Jianguo, who was neatly dressed, stood in front of Augustus, and Augustus looked at his childish cheeks and said, "Do you think the opening up of the republic will continue?"

"Of course I know that the opening of the republic will continue!"

This thought flashed through his mind, but Zheng Jianguo frowned, and said in the face of Augustus's gaze, "What do you want to ask?"

"Your investment, about your investment in the republic, if you are a republican in the ordinary sense, then in addition to donating all the money to the country, or spending all your time eating, drinking and having fun, but what you want to do is to spread the traditional culture of the republic, and build a film and television base - I think there must be a reason for this, isn't it?"

Augustus stretched out his hand to straighten Zheng Jianguo's suit and said, Zheng Jianguo didn't think much about it: "Actually, in addition to these, I will have a large investment in the name of Jianguo Company, and the scale is in the unit of one billion dollars." ”

"Well, a billion dollars, that's a huge number, but I think you have your own reasons-"

He took a cigar out of his pocket and put it between his nose and sniffed it, Augustus blinked and spoke, and the probe gave way, "Do you want one?"

"Thanks, smoking is bad for your health, and smoking certain things is too—"

Zheng Jianguo smiled and refused, he didn't have much money in his previous life, and he had all been involved in eating, drinking, and prostitution, but he was rich in this life, but he had the idea of guarding himself like a jade, of course, this was also a near-diagnosed victim paranoia, so he followed him and continued: "As you said, I have my own reasons for the republic, and this reason is still above board, because in the traditional culture of the republic, there is an idiom that says that charcoal is sent in the snow."

Considering the cultural background differences in the growth stages between us, you can understand the idiom here as a proverb, and sending charcoal in the snow is equivalent to giving people water in the desert, and the republic is now short of money, and what is lacking is still dollars.

Considering my status as a speculator, naturally I didn't want to donate this money, so in the process of studying, I remembered the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, when my surname was still the name of the country, there was a businessman named Lü Buwei. ”

"A merchant in the Warring States period, did he do a big business?"

Augustus glanced at Zheng Jianguo with a puzzled face, and then saw Zheng Jianguo say with a relaxed face: "After he helped Qin Shi Huang's father Yiren ascend to the throne, he was named the Marquis of Wenxin and Prime Minister, what do you think of this business he did?"

"Qin Shi Huang, where should I have heard that you want to be the Lu Buwei of the Republic?"

Augustus pinched his cigar with a shocked expression and said, but Zheng Jianguo was amused by his words: "In a sense, what you said earlier about me promoting the traditional culture of the Republic is true, and it is also true that I am building a film and television base."

In fact, in addition to this, I can also tell you that in my agreement to invest in the construction of the film and television base, I also promised the local government department to provide funds as support to help them build an airport that can take off and land white swans. ”

"So how do you get your investment back? As far as I know, Hollywood doesn't make a lot of money—"

Augustus slowly raised a question again, not wanting Zheng Jianguo to continue to speak: "The film and television base is slow to recover its investment, but in addition to this, I also got the authorization of NHK's high-definition technology, and this time in the name of promoting traditional culture, these technologies are used for free in the filming of film and television dramas."

Actually, my goal is to get NHK's high-definition technology approved in the Republic, after all, if you think that many TV stations in the Republic want to use this technology in the future, they will need to pay me money - you know how much the major TV stations charge for advertising now, right?"

Augustus's eyes lit up: "Zheng, your idea is too amazing, do you still lack a partner now?"
