Chapter 227: But it's good if you're happy
"This product is in a good mood, and I have to dress up the guest room I live in, but this house that still owns a guest room in Manhattan, New York, is no wonder that he can come up with $200,000 to invest in himself. ”
After the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Bruce became the first cultural counselor of the United States to the Republic, and the last time Zheng Jianguo saw him was at the Christmas party of the Republic, that is, at that party, he happened to hear the then secretary Cheng say the information of the Soviet Chen Bing Afghanistan, so he made the decision to sell the physical gold to open an oil contract with high leverage.
It's just that the counselor opened a position at that time with 200,000 US dollars, which was magnified five times to a million US dollars, and bought almost 37,000 barrels at the price at that time, and now the price has risen by about 2 US dollars per barrel, that is, he has earned more than 70,000 US dollars, which is more than one-third of the amount of profitable investment.
200,000 made 70,000 yuan in two months, presumably Bruce can't calculate it, and Charlie should also report to Mr. Counselor - but he should be busy on May 5th.
"May 5, the 21st day of the third lunar month, Monday?"
Looking up and pulling the calendar card, Zheng Jianguo's calendar was bought by Yang Na from Chinatown before leaving, and the wall calendar that would be popular in the next few decades came to mind, so he picked up the pen next to him and marked it on No. 2, not to mention Bruce's current identity, he had to look at him differently when he was in China, and he had to wait solemnly: "Suit dry cleaning and grooming——"
"Zheng, I'm Val, the hospital has arranged a time for you to report, as you wish, at 8:30 a.m. on April 3rd, go directly to Nathan Beckson after arriving at the emergency room, he is the director of the emergency room, I think the two of you will get along very well, of course, if you have any ideas, you can also come to me in the office, welcome you to join Massachusetts General Hospital." ”
Zheng Jianguo's pen didn't stop, and an unfamiliar voice jumped out of the answering machine, but fortunately, the other party arranged for him to go to the hospital before he remembered who this Val was, and he understood that this was the president of his own hospital, so he quickly put away the pen that he hadn't finished, took out a notepad from his pocket and began to write: "If you report on the 3rd, then there are only two days left for today and tomorrow, so use these two days to move——"
"Hey, Hani, I've seen your mother, she's recovering well now, but the scalpel is too big, and she has to stay in bed when she gets home, but she doesn't like you to buy so many houses, of course I also want to ask you this question, if it's just to live, we can't live in these dozen or so big yards now, right? I miss you-"
A somewhat muffled voice came, Zheng Jianguo's eyes flickered a few times, compared with Camille, who was tall and delicate with delicate features, and Fiona, who had a bumpy figure of about seventy or eighty degrees, Yang Na had a gentle temperament from the inside out in addition to a pair of big eyebrows on her cheeks-let For the first two, I'm afraid that I will ask when I know that he has bought so many houses, right?
However, Yang Na waited until this point.
Zheng Jianguo is a bit of a thief, and he can be regarded as having learned what is called a mistake that men will make in Fiona, although he lives a pure-hearted life because he is worried about the HIV that is lurking somewhere.
However, when Fiona pushed him into the room and put him face to face together, all that was left in his mind was a gushing surge, just like the St. Lawrence volcano, which had been brewing for more than a hundred years, ushered in a period of activity, until the clouds and rain subsided.
In the state of a sage, Zheng Jianguo's first thought was that Fiona would ask for a name, such as at least a girlfriend's relationship, but he didn't expect that people just wanted to stamp themselves - they just wanted to leave some souvenirs for herself.
At that time, Zheng Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, just like the guilt in his heart after confirming Yang Na's gentle and gentle appointment, of course, if he wanted to confess to the other party because of this guilt, this was nonsense, just don't let her know.
Then Zheng Jianguo listened to four or five more messages, including the girl from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Chemistry, and the game company he almost forgot if he hadn't called him, and learned that as the time entered April, his personal dividends in the company reached 1.5 million, that is, a partner left, because he had only seen this group of people, he almost forgot what the person looked like.
After writing down the things on the calendar, Zheng Jianguo flipped out the address book and found the phone number of Alec who was more like a force than a boss, and dialed it without hearing two rings, and a muffled voice came: "Hey, this is-"
"Hi Alec, I'm Zheng Jianguo, can I move in early at house 53 on St. Paul's Street?"
Zheng Jianguo didn't wait for the other party to report the name of the company and speak, Alec's voice was suppressed, and he changed his words: "Hey, Zheng, that house has already been completed, but it is being ventilated according to your requirements, and you can also live in advance if you want, this aspect is completely fine, you are in trouble now?"
"It's not a problem, it's that the school is going to take back the dormitory-"
Zheng Jianguo didn't expect the other party to ask like that, but he quickly came back to his senses that the biggest advantage of his house was safety, and now that he was in such a hurry to live in, he looked like he was in trouble: "Mr. Alec, do you have a moving company over there that is more reassuring?"
"Of course that's fine, but are you in a hurry? If you're in a hurry, I'll find someone to move you in a car, and I won't charge you money-"
Alec didn't expect the school to take back the dormitory, but he knew that this identity was more sensitive, and Charlie specifically told him not to ask more questions and talk more, just follow the market: "Just see if there is any furniture for me over there——"
"Okay, the air conditioner here is for you, except for the refrigerator and washing machine, I don't have many things, just a Cherokee Comanche-"
In Zheng Jianguo's thinking, the disassembly and assembly of the air conditioner will cause the refrigeration effect to decrease, of course, the reason why he gave it away is because his new home is equipped with central air conditioning, after all, the area of almost 400 square meters is divided into seven or eight rooms, and no matter how big the air conditioner is, it can only be central air conditioning, and from the cabinet seats to these large items, I didn't find outsiders, and directly packed them all to Alec: "Two or three more people are fine." ”
"Ha, Zheng, no problem, when can I start moving?"
Alec's voice was mixed with a burst of cheerfulness, the things in Zheng Jianguo's house before made him sell for more than two thousand dollars, how can this air conditioner be hundreds of dollars larger, plus there is no big thing that only two people can solve, so it doesn't feel like a big problem: "My assistant and I can go over-"
"Can he dismantle the air conditioner, you know, I've only been using this air conditioner for half a year. ”
Zheng Jianguo didn't think that Alec would understand air conditioning, and he was also black-eyed in addition to using it, but he didn't expect the latter to laugh and say: "Don't worry, Harris is a mechanical expert, he can disassemble and reinstall AH1 alone, it's a gunship, and the bulletproof glass and Kevlar of your house are the ones he took someone to process and install——"
"Okay, then that sounds pretty good, I feel like I can move now, you can bring Harris, and we'll make do with it at noon." ”
made a decision in an instant, Zheng Jianguo was planning to move earlier since he wanted to move, it was impossible to rent a house less than a month before handing over the house, and as for going to a hotel or something, it was not in his consideration, he had been in Boston for less than two years, and he had already become a celebrity in the whole region, and then he was targeted by the paparazzi or a person who wanted to go crazy for money, so it was called more than worth the loss.
The patron has a call, and Alec naturally does not hesitate: "No problem, 20 minutes will be fine, let's meet later." ”
"See you later!"
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Jianguo quickly entered the bedroom and found the clothes and stuffed them in, until there was a knock on the door, and then he loaded two big suitcases, and he couldn't help but start to miss the bags that could be pulled to the door and said, "Who?"
"Hi Zheng, I'm Alec and Harris. ”
A thick nasal sound sounded, Zheng Jianguo opened the door and looked at the two mountain-like big men at the door, and couldn't help but take a step back with a smile and said to the two: "I didn't expect you two to look similar, oh, Harris is going to work hard for you-"
"It's not hard, as long as you can make money, it's not hard, only if you can't make money, it's hard work, where is the air conditioner you want to send?"
Harris is about the same height as Alec, and he is wearing a blue denim overalls, except for the different colors of the hat sideburns on his head, there is also a seven- or eight-point similarity between his eyebrows and eyes, Zheng Jianguo saw him at this time, so he turned around and pointed to the air conditioner next to the corner of the wall and said: "There, you can remove it after I move away, of course, after the demolition is completed, the wall or something will be restored, I don't want the school to find trouble for me." ”
"That's no problem, wow, this one isn't cheap, and now it's about $800 for a second-hand one-"
Harris stepped on the floor and squeaked before he reached the air conditioner, so he turned his head to Zheng Jianguo after seeing the trademark and model number on it, and the latter also looked at Alec who entered the door and said: "The gentleman is quick to say a word, it is all something that cannot be taken back, plus I troubled you a lot before, and now you have to help me move——"
"Well, you haven't packed it yet, I still have boxes in the back of my car, I'll get it later, you're responsible for bringing the things you want to take to the door, and the two of us are responsible for packing them for you, and then we'll talk about dismantling the air conditioner, Harris, I'll go to the car and get something-"
Alec said to Zheng Jianguo and said hello to Harris who was looking at the air conditioner, Zheng Jianguo saw Harris turn his head and nodded the former and walked out of the door, and he couldn't help but have a little guess in his heart about this big guy who could disassemble the helicopter gunship, and subconsciously said: "Harris, Alec said you can disassemble the helicopter?"
"Why did you think of asking about this, Alec would brag that the gunship is not something that can be dismantled by one person, and that it requires at least one assistant to crane, and you should have done that a long time ago-"
Harris said and quickly lowered his voice after reaching Zheng Jianguo's side, but when he saw him with a question mark on his face, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "I said that the little ones you beat should have started a long time ago, but it's not too late, I heard that you didn't take anything, and you didn't even move a needle to burn all these things?"
"That's, we're a civilized country, how could we possibly do that kind of thing?"
Zheng Jianguo's eyes flickered and stared at the other party's tense face, he could tell from this face that this person was not more than 40 years old at most, and he couldn't help but be curious: "With your current age, you shouldn't retire from the military-"
"Harris's comrades died to protect him, and they want to go after the war—"
When Alec's voice came from outside the open door, his tall figure blocked the door that was a full one and a half meters wide, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Harris's mouth: "When we retreated, Jack was shot by a sniper while bandaging the hole in my head—"
Taking off the hat on his head, revealing a bare scar on his head, Harris took the cardboard box in Alec's hand and continued to speak: "So I wanted to go and see his wife and son after the war, but I didn't expect that to take Jack's pension and live in Jack's house and drive Jack's car to raise a little white face - little Jack changed the surname of that little white face!"
"So-"
Zheng Jianguo was stunned, if he had any regrets in his two lives, then it was a matter of being a soldier, because he had never been a soldier, he could not understand the meaning behind handing over his life to others to guard, of course, due to the professional reasons of his two lives, he could also realize that some of the memories in his memory were deep in the bone marrow: "You did it?"
"If he wants to do it, it will kill someone, he just reacted to what Jack sold privately before he was in the army, and then Jack was removed and his wife lost his pension, and then the little white face quarreled with his wife and injured Little Jack, so Little Jack had an uncle after entering the welfare home, and then a certain soldier who couldn't take care of himself had to take care of a child——"
Alec's voice was neither fast nor slow, he took a cardboard box and a sponge to the kitchen and began to load pots and pans, and then looked at Harris who was smiling next to him: "With his salary in the army, he can give little Jack a warm home, but if he wants to serve and take care of little Jack, it's whimsical-"
"Then you have to retire. ”
Zheng Jianguo subconsciously picked up what he said, and saw Harris next to him pouting and looking over with slanted eyes, and his voice was not mixed with any emotion: "For the sake of Little Jack's future, I can only destroy Jack's present, presumably in heaven he also approves of me doing this." ”
"It's just a pity that you're so skilled—"
Thinking of Alec's previous evaluation of this person, Zheng Jianguo also knew that the road was taken by people themselves, and no one else asked you to take the initiative to do murder and arson: "But it's good if you're happy, the essence of life is to make yourself happy." ”
