Chapter 195: We Are Doctors

"That's Dr. Caflan's dinner—"

Walton smiled at Caphora next to him, and the latter said to Zheng Jianguo: "Our OMGE is a non-profit organization, and a small part of the operating funds come from members' membership dues, and most of them come from charitable donations.

"Charity Dinner organized by the World Society of Gastroenterology——"

The name of his own organization flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo also somewhat understood what Carflan's mouth meant by happiness, compared with the dinner held by a pure charity organization, the charity dinner held by the doctors had a greater attraction, especially in the United States, where the doctors belonged to the upper class, I am afraid that no one would risk offending the doctors and not attending.

What do rich people fear the most?

Some people say that the most feared thing is that there is no money, but in Zheng Jianguo's view, what rich people are most afraid of is that life has entered the countdown when the money is still there.

Of course, the nature of this dinner party seems to Zheng Jianguo to be a bit of a robbery, but fortunately, it is familiar to me after coming for so long, because I have personally participated in this kind of party last time, and I also know that the rich people will take the opportunity to talk about business if they participate: "Well, you also know that I have a little money-"

"Zheng, it's better not to be like this~"

Ka Flan shook his head without hesitation, and a pair of brown eyes fell on Zheng Jianguo's face and said: "We are doctors, and no matter how much money we have, we are also doctors, not rich people who make profits in business, especially those like you who rely on luck to make money."

If you donate once you attend one of these charity dinners, you'll quickly get countless invitations to charity dinners, and if you don't show up for any of them, these will become a lever for some bad media to attack you, so don't think about spending money on charity dinners.

Of course, the main reason is that you will become a doctor in the future, and I have heard that you are going to get a license to practice medicine as a specialist, so if you do this, you will unknowingly offend some colleagues.

For example, if you and I attend an invitation at the same time, but you donate $10,000, should I donate or not, and if I donate, do I have to be on par with you, but even if I give 10,000 dollars, others will only say that you have set an example, which will make me unable to have a good impression of you——"

"Zheng, we are doctors, and we are the work of saving lives and helping the wounded, and if you take the money out to donate, it will offend people, and in our circle, it is also very important to represent the harmony between colleagues, because we doctors need to cooperate with each other and cooperate to complete the treatment of patients. ”

Walton said with a straight face, Zheng Jianguo had to nod his head to indicate that he was taught, it seems that this group of doctors not only clearly divided the money, but also clearly divided their own work responsibilities: "Thank you, I am still relatively young, although I am lucky to have my current grades, but I am still relatively immature for things other than study——"

Kaphora quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, Zheng, your luck is also because of your good observation, Helicobacter pylori in gastrointestinal diseases, and the same is true of atomic-level graphite layers in solid state physics, this can't be said to be luck, but real ability!"

Zheng Jianguo could hear the sincerity in Caphora's tone, of course, his previous words were also self-humble, after all, he was the only one in this world who knew the real situation, and at this time, he remembered that the original owners were all international friends, and there was no psychological burden to admit it with a straight face.

After saying what should be said, Caphora and Walton sat down for a while and got up to say goodbye, Zheng Jianguo followed to the door and watched the four of them get into a Land Rover, so he waved his hand to see the car leave, returned to his residence to find out the pathology and continued to gnaw.

With the experience of the first stage of the exam, Zheng Jianguo already knew that his shortcomings were still medical English, and the loss was still in the misunderstanding of some abbreviations.

Until another snow fell, Charlie, who was a little pale, knocked on his door: "The price and location have been chosen, 78 North Kent Street, Brookline, less than ten minutes by car from Harvard Medical School, less than thirty minutes from Harvard University, how does it feel?"

"It's not cheap over there, is it?"

Zheng Jianguo let people into the house and said, Charlie felt the heat and glanced at the air conditioner next to him, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders with a smile: "There is no cheap house in Greater Boston, especially in the north near the college town, the 2234-foot renovation has been less than a year, and the homeowner lost a lot when the gold price fell a few days ago, and now he is in a hurry to sell, there is everything in it, but there is no air conditioning." ”

On the seventh day after Zheng Jianguo's gold contract was closed, the gold price finally hit an all-time high of $850, but it didn't even last half an hour before it plummeted, falling below $800 to the $797 mark on the same day.

Then the next day the shock adjustment was one day, and on the third day, it fell directly to 713 US dollars, at this time TV and newspapers are talking about this, Zheng Jianguo naturally will not know: "I know, because air conditioning is a big electricity consumer——"

After coming to the United States for so long, Zheng Jianguo found that there are air conditioners in schools and laboratories, but there are few air conditioners installed in ordinary people's homes, and the most direct reason is that the price of civil electricity in the United States is twice that of industrial electricity, so the vast majority of ordinary people rarely install it, of course, there is also a reason that they are not used to it: "Really send me a house?"

"There is also a place at No. 53 St. Paul Street, but that house is a little old, if you want it, you need to buy it and rebuild it to live, but it is only a few dozen meters away from the Charles River, it can be regarded as in the middle of Harvard Medical School and Harvard University, about ten minutes and less than twenty minutes, of course, the area is a little small, 1566 feet, the price is about the same-"

The oncoming air conditioner was a little hot, Charlie unbuttoned his coat and took off the hat on his head as he spoke, Zheng Jianguo had already started to get dressed next to him, nodded with a smile on his face and said: "That's St. Paul's Street, it just so happens that I'm not used to living in a wooden house, so it's good to buy it and rebuild it——"

"Okay, let's go to St. Paul's Street, do you want me to recommend a contractor for you?"

Hearing Zheng Jianguo's reason, Charlie also knew that St. Paul Street was closer to the university town than Kent Street, and across the river to the north was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to the east was Boston University, to the south was Harvard Medical School, and to the west, although there was no university, there was a large medical center composed of four hospitals led by St. Elizabeth's Hospital.

Considering that Zheng Jianguo doesn't know which hospital he will go to for an internship in the future, this location is really ideal, of course, the shortcomings are also obvious: "I won't pay for the renovation costs-"

"Of course I won't let you out. ”

Zheng Jianguo quickly said that he was not a person who liked trouble, so he said: "Is your contractor friend reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable, you can dig a bunker if you want, of course you need to do a good job of waterproofing it not far from the river. ”

Charlie's eyes lit up and followed Zheng Jianguo out of the door, the latter shrunk his neck and said with a white breath: "The bunker is not enough, I just want to work on the doors and windows, can the bulletproof glass be done?"

"Yes, of course the price will have to be negotiated by you. ”

Charlie's face was a little stiff, of course his bunker was joking before, but when he heard bulletproof glass at this time, it meant that Zheng Jianguo's vigilance in his heart was not ordinarily high, which may be the sequelae of the shooting, or it may be that he really had some ideas.

Charlie took him to the Mercedes with this thought in his mind, and after skillfully starting the car, he listened to him speak: "Of course, if you weren't so enthusiastic, I could buy it myself, after all, I live in the school now, and I can't prevent thieves for a thousand days, so the police should find trouble for me." ”

"I don't believe this, unless you do something, such as carrying contraband, speeding, affecting others-"

Thanks to this year's investigation, Charlie has a better understanding of Zheng Jianguo's character, sometimes taciturn like an introvert, but when facing media reporters, he is more comfortable than most Americans, in addition to being almost paranoid, he is also a rule-abiding person: "But if you have a little trouble like this, some of my connections may play a certain role-"

"I know, your agents are very popular, but why do I feel that you are a little different today?"

Sitting in the co-pilot and looking at the luxurious layout in the car, Zheng Jianguo glanced at Charlie as he spoke, only to see him skillfully controlling the car and shrugged his shoulders and said: "You know that we will face all kinds of customers as brokers, and what they have in common is that they have a little bit of spare money in their hands, and I suggested a few customers who have a good relationship after your gold contract was closed last time, and some of them accepted and some refused and ridiculed——"

"You didn't reveal it to those clients that it was me, did you?"

Zheng Jianguo somewhat understood, the person who listened to Charlie's suggestion made money no matter how much he earned, and the person who rejected and ridiculed his suggestion was obviously beaten up by the plummeting market, which is considered to be a teaching to be a man, but protecting the privacy of customers is the most basic red line in all industries: "You should know that this can't be done." ”

"Of course not, then I'll go to jail, even if it's to continue to maintain a good relationship with you, a big customer, I won't do this kind of thing, I just told them that I had a suggestion, and then made up a reason to prevaricate to them, of course I said that the credit for letting you close the position be my suggestion. ”

Charlie said with a smile on his face, and a pair of eyes looked at Zheng Jianguo's face without unhappiness, and he was relieved: "I feel that if you persuade like this, it will increase credibility." ”

"It doesn't matter, I thought the whole world knew that I sold gold and bought oil~ Oh, the price of oil has risen by 38 cents. ”

Zheng Jianguo said and smiled at Charlie, who of course knew what he was talking about: "Considering that the base in your account is 110 million barrels, which translates to every $1 increase in oil prices, you will make a profit of $110 million, which is easier to calculate, and of course does not include your principal." ”

"No, I'm not worried about how much money I make, but about how much I will lose if there is a pullback, now I can afford to lose 38 cents, the higher it rises, the safer the contract is for me, of course, it's the same for the rollover, as long as it goes up. ”

Zheng Jianguo, who was smiling on his face, sighed in his heart, he didn't want to be so rash in his original plan, but after recalling it in the past few years, that is, the war between the Soviet Fua Khan and the war between Iraq and Iraq at the end of the year, as for silver, it was purely a flight with Fan Dailin, which seized the two waves of gold and oil.

Of course, Zheng Jianguo, who holds more than 100 million barrels of oil contracts, is not sighing because he can't think of other opportunities to make money, since he was reborn, he has wanted to do something more comprehensive to face the future.

Thinking of the untouchable future, Zheng Jianguo actually didn't know the real reason for his sigh was that he had lost the unique arrogance of the reborn - I know what the future looks like, you don't know.

Fortunately, Zheng Jianguo still has a lot of things to do at this time, followed Charlie to house No. 78 to finalize the purchase agreement, and had another meal after completing the formalities, he also returned to the teacher's dormitory after feeling Charlie's sincerity, but he didn't expect two door gods to squat at the door, and one of them stood up after seeing him appear: "If you don't come again, we will starve to death." ”

"No, I didn't go out until after 9 o'clock in the morning, and you didn't come by long bus?"

Seeing that Zhao Liangliang's face turned pale from the cold, Zheng Jianguo quickly walked to the dormitory to open the door and turn on the air conditioner, and then turned around and saw him in front of the boiling water bottle, turned over a cup and began to pour water, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Lu next to him and said, "Brother Jiang, you can take a plane now with a shotgun?"

"Yes, you can take a plane with a shotgun, and a new leader is more sympathetic to the people below, so I found the opportunity to buy the cheapest ticket at a discount a few days ago, but I can't come if I want to come in the future, I have to report in advance and plan to book a ticket by a special person——"

Zhao Liangliang poured two cups of hot tea and handed one to Jiang Lu, who spoke, who took a small sip and sniffed at Zheng Jianguo, full of curiosity: "They said that there are people in China who have published papers on The Lancet?"

"Tao Ye, my graduate classmate, is now the actual person in charge of the biological laboratory of Qi Provincial Medical College, this research can be regarded as done with me, so I am tied with her as the first author——"

Zheng Jianguo saw that the two of them were so invisible, so he took off his down jacket and went to the coffee machine to pick up a cup of coffee, turned around and turned on the TV and said: "The content of the study is to confirm the infection mode of Helicobacter pylori, remember to wash your hands frequently in the future, that thing enters from the mouth to the stomach——"
