On December 20, Lu Zheng went to the operation room of Huaqi Bank at 8:50 in the morning to wait for Joshua and his investment team, and gave them start-up capital, totaling $203 million.

After the arrival of the 10-member investment operation team, under the arrangement of Joshua, each of them set up a small account with varying numbers to continue to do long Nikkei indices according to Lu Zheng's requirements.

Lu Zheng went to see them every day after he woke up naturally, and he went to work in the name of going to work, and by the way, he went to the newspaper to learn about current affairs.

On December 22, Lu Zheng returned to the Stanford Business School and accepted Professor John Robert's personal tasseling in the grand atmosphere of the college's small auditorium. So far, Lu Zheng has obtained his degree certificate and successfully become a social person.

~~~~~~~~

Time came to Christmas Eve in a blink of an eye, and under the operation of Joshua's team, Lu Zheng's total funds have increased from $200 million to $550 million.

On this day, Lu Zheng decided to hold a family BBQ Patty, and only invited Song Qian, Allen, Joshua and their girlfriends.

Broken Tooth bought all the decoration materials in the morning, and in the afternoon, he and Zhazzag decorated the Christmas tree, Christmas windows, inside and outside the house, and on the roof.

Broken Tooth takes a pine tree outdoors and decorates it with Christmas lights and colorful decorations, and Lu Zheng suggests hanging some gingerbread and other snacks and placing a small star on top of the tree, just like the Christmas tree in another time and space. This little star is called the Star of Bethlehem, and it is a strange celestial object recorded in the Bible.

Scum has sorted out the turkey, smoked ham, Christmas salmon, beef ribs, beef, sturgeon caviar, bluefin tuna and onions.

Lu Zheng is going to get started today and make the food of his hometown in the original time and space-reed bamboo barbecue.

Fresh reed bamboo is segmented into knots, and a small hole is drilled at the end of the bamboo to allow the air flow to be evenly dispersed during the roasting process. Chop the fine meat into minced meat, add minced ginger, tender meat powder, and fresh peas and stir well. Put the mixed meat foam evenly into the reed bamboo joints, stuff it tightly, and leave to bake.

Note that the bamboo film inside the fresh reed bamboo should be retained, which is the guarantee of umami.

In fact, the taste of reed bamboo barbecue is particularly light, which is more suitable for children and people who can't eat spicy food.

Lu Zheng had just put the barbecue grill and ingredients in place. Song Qian, who was wearing a Santa hat and a thick Christmas red knitted turtleneck, arrived, and brought his friend and Lu Zheng's childhood friend, Wang Dalong, a third-year computer science major at Berkeley.

Wang Dalong stepped on low-top cloth shoes, wore jeans and a loose-fitting beige crewneck sweatshirt, and wore a black cold hat.

Wang Dalong rushed to Lu Zheng and gave Lu Zheng a strong hug.

"Brother Zheng, my brother has sent you a daughter-in-law, haha......" said while pointing to Song Qian.

Lu Zheng flew up, kicked lightly on the farts (hexie) stock of this goods, and said with a smile: "Stop, little brat, your sister Song Qian, like you, is still underage." ”

Wang Dalong was energetic: "Hey, everyone knows, Sister Song Qian is your future daughter-in-law." ”

In the midst of the laughter, Allen and Joshua and their girlfriends came together. Broken Tooth and Dregs also put their plates and Christmas cakes, puddings, apples, red wine, and more in place.

The Christmas cake is covered with the words "Merry Christmas" written in jam, and the Christmas candles that are only three or four inches long and made of delicate materials are inserted around the perimeter. Wang Dalong also put three beans in the cake to represent the three oriental sages in the biblical story, and whoever eats the beans becomes the "three kings", which is very interesting.

Song Qian came to Lu Zheng's side, naturally took Lu Zheng's arm, and beckoned everyone to sit down, like a hostess.

Allen just silently poured wine for everyone at this time, staring at Lu Zheng who was holding Song Qian's arm with resentment.

After Song Qian lit the candle, Lu Zheng blew it out, and then everyone shared the cake.

Everyone sat around the oven, lit the fire, drank wine in the aroma of barbecued meat, grilled meat, skewered meat, and sang.

Joshua told everyone, "Santa's original robe was green. In the early 17th century, it was believed that greenery had the magic to keep out the cold, and Santa Claus, who also had magic, became the image of wearing green. Later, for the sake of holiday marketing, Coca-Cola changed Santa Claus to the image of a kind old man in red clothes and red hats with a white beard. Due to the effective promotion of the Coca-Cola brand, Santa Claus was later continued. ”

Allen told everyone: "Santa Claus lives in the North Pole, where there is a special kind of deer - reindeer. They are docile and have wide hooves that allow them to easily traverse snow, forests and algae, so Santa Claus chooses them to pull a sled. Santa's reindeer names are, in order, Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Donner, Blitzen, Cupid, and Comet. These 9 deer are recognized and continue to this day because of Rudolph's Red-Nosed Reindeer. ”

During the dinner, Allen also brought good news: the office building and personnel are basically in place. On 1 January 1990, he was able to work in the new building.

Finally, everybody is here

"Breaking through the blizzard

We sat on a sled

Gallop across the fields

Laughing all the way

The bells jingle off

How cheerful the spirits are

Ah, how much fun skiing tonight

Sing the ski song

Jingle jingle bell

The bell rang all the way......" and the song dispersed.

After Lu Zheng woke up in a daze, he felt that his left and right hands were smooth, delicate and warm like jade, with a hint of temperature. Although he was in a state of confusion, he was reluctant to let go of the warmth brought to him by his left and right hands. The ghost made his hands clenched tighter, well, the size is different......

After relieving himself, Lu Zheng found that Song Qian and Alan were actually held in his hands on the left and right, and he quickly let go of his hand and blasphemed the underage girl, a beast......

Lu Zheng broke free from the gentle township, tired and found his clothes neatly dressed in the mess, and came to the living room alone after washing up, and found that it was empty. On the table are stomach-warming gruel and delicious mustard. Lu Zheng is indeed hungry, no matter what thirty-seven twenty-one, fill his stomach first.

Lu Zheng pushed open the door, and a cold wind poured in, without shivering, my mother, it's so cold.

When Lu Zheng came outside, he saw that the outside was covered with snow and covered in silver, which was not spectacular. There are already two snowmen in the yard, a Christmas red scarf, and a Christmas hat, which are so festive.

Wang Dalong burst out of the bushes and laughed: "Brother, are you surprised, are you not surprised?" Oh, look at those two dark circles, hehe......

Lu Zheng flew up, but he didn't kick it this time. Angry: "Little bastard, it was all your way last night?"
