Chapter 30: He Earned Ten Thousand Dollars
It was close to noon when the rain stopped last night.
He left the school ten minutes early.
All you see is that the main avenue of the school is empty, but there is a patch of bicycles parked under the playground fence on the right-hand side, and the uniformed security guards in the communication room gather to chat blindly under the warm eyes of noon, they have one hand in their pockets, cigarettes in their mouths, and they act like gangsters rather than security guards.
Wen Xiaoguang didn't have a car, so he had to walk hundreds of meters to Xiangyang to send things out on his legs, and it was quite convenient to pass Uncle Liu's copy shop on the way.
In 2008, Xianzhou County was quite tidy, there were any stores opposite the school, from eating and drinking to stationery, and occasionally there were posters of stars hanging on the door, Jay Leehom Wu Zun Wu Kequn,
It's all youth.
Wen Xiaoguang didn't have time to eat to earn money, although he was a little hungry, he still got things done first.
When he arrived at Xiangyang, he was holding a boxed lunch, holding a cigarette between his fingers, and sitting on a courier box to eat fragrantly.
Seeing Wen Xiaoguang,
The thin young man who was less than 1.7 meters was a little stunned,
"Sold again?"
Wen Xiaoguang said modestly: "A little." Well, I still have to go to class in the afternoon, so hurry up. ”
Xiang Yang took his cigarette and didn't talk nonsense, he came and went, in fact, the two of them were familiar,
"Come, come inside,"
There is a glass cabinet on the left hand side of the inside, the store is small, and the TV is the kind that hangs on the wall, and at this time there are four sets of financial news in the center.
Xiang Yang walked around to the cabinet, "How many copies will you fill in this time?"
“14。 Wen Xiaoguang said.
"How much?!"
“14。 ”
"My good girl," Xiang Yang's eyes changed a lot, "You kid has a set, you have to get 5,000 yuan this time, right?"
"It's okay," Wen Xiaoguang didn't swell, "that's it." ”
No wonder he was surprised, this is just a sophomore in high school, and he got almost 10,000 yuan in a week.
Don't say anything about the cost of sending couriers, whoever says Xiangyang wants to hit whom!
It's amazing, it's amazing,
"Fill it in. Xiang Yang didn't need to introduce anything, he was a regular customer, so he chatted, "I found that you are a little smart and have a business mind." ”
Wen Xiaoguang moved a stool over and sat down to write, and said with a smile: "What kind of business mind can I have." ”
"Yes, yes," he took a puff of his cigarette, admiring Wen Xiaoguang in the mist.
A lot of these cigarettes are dispersed by Wen Xiaoguang,
So in his concept, this kid also has a set of messing around with people.
"Fill in this one first, and the word less ......"
Wen Xiaoguang had no opinion, but he was writing, and he suddenly heard some special voices from the TV hanging above,
He lowered his head and wrote, and his eyelids were raised,
"Brother Xiang, please turn up the sound of the TV," he turned his head and said.
"Good. Xiang Yang also watched TV, happy, he was happy, "Haha, it's not good to call him every day, it's out of business, haha." ”
On September 15, local time in New York, Lehman Brothers Holdings Ltd., the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, filed for bankruptcy protection, causing Wall Street shocks and stock market turmoil. It is reported that Lehman Brothers ranks fourth among the U.S. investment banks and is one of the largest financial institutions on Wall Street.
Lehman Brothers finally filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York because of the undue losses suffered by the investment in subprime mortgage products, and because all potential investors refused to intervene, and because U.S. Treasury Secretary Paulson publicly stated that "death will not be saved". ”
"On September 10, Lehman Brothers announced its second-quarter earnings report, which showed a huge loss of $3.9 billion in the quarter, the worst loss it suffered in its 158-year history, and its stock price fell 95% from its peak at the beginning of last year......
"According to expert analysis, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers will trigger a series of chain reactions, and the US credit market has fallen into chaos, and later in the day, the US insurance giant AIG applied for an emergency $86 billion loan, which was taken over by the US government......"
The hostess of the central four sets spoke sweetly, but what she said was earth-shattering.
One would never have predicted how the global financial turmoil that began would have a profound impact on the world.
Wen Xiaoguang saw such news and deeply felt those two words: rebirth.
He's going to do it all over again.
Xiang Yang stood aside and couldn't understand Wen Xiaoguang's concentration, "Hey, what are you looking at? Lao Mei's company has fallen, what are we doing?"
Wen Xiaoguang came back to his senses and said, "The world has long been connected as a whole, how can it not do our business." ”
Xiang Yang asked, "Then what are we doing?"
"You know if something so big happens, we can't feel it, do you know what it means?"
Xiang Yang really doesn't understand, he doesn't have a complete financial background education, and he is not engaged in that kind of work.
"What does it mean?"
Wen Xiaoguang said: "It means that we are poor. ”
Xiang Yang's mouth flipped violently, "Pull the calf! The person is a big ghost! Read your book well." ”
He didn't care, he just copied his own things.
In fact, from the perspective of a reborn person, even ten years later, the impact of this crisis has not yet dissipated.
The U.S. has only recovered economically, and unemployment has returned to historic lows, but the political impact of this looting of the middle class is far from erased, and the disappearance of the American middle class, from the Occupy Wall Street movement to the election, is creating uncertainty for the country and the world.
On the other side of the ocean, the European debt crisis is slowly erupting and eroding the high-welfare states, from the weakest European pig five countries to France.
The yellow vest movement has made the people who sell yellow vests in Yiwu Commodity City feel refreshed, and made-in-China can observe the situation in Europe by relying on the rise and fall of yellow vest sales at home.
However, from the perspective of the economy itself, such a magnificent thing is not linked to Wen Xiaoguang, he is still very weak.
It's okay to look up at the starry sky, but it's not okay to be ambitious.
It took him 20 minutes to fill in the 14 mailing addresses, some far and some close, but the total cost was less than 300 yuan, which was really nothing compared to the income.
After finishing this, he left here with the voice of the hostess just now,
2008 was a really big year, we were all about the Olympics, and then suddenly we found out that Putin had commanded a war, and we thought that there should be no more of it, and the global financial turmoil swept the world and intensified......
The world is wonderful.
Wen Xiaoguang's heart was a little agitated, so much so that he didn't hear anyone calling him behind him,
The person who called him was Liu Yiqi,
She also had something to do here, but she didn't expect to bump into Wen Xiaoguang,
It seems that she is more familiar with this place than Wen Xiaoguang, "Don't eat it, Daxiang, send me something." ”
Xiang Yang sat on the express box and ate a boxed lunch again, unhurried, "Are you shouting Wen Xiaoguang?
Liu Yiqi nodded, "I know, what is he doing here without school?"
"What can you do here, send something. ”
"Send something?"
"Well, that's all over there. The young man pointed to a stack of couriers on the glass counter.
"What did he send?"
"A bunch of information. "Xiang Yang is familiar with her, so let's chat, "To be precise, it's actually selling things, say something you haven't heard, you know this kid, it's only this week, and now it's not too much if you don't get 10,000." ”
Liu Yiqi felt fake in his ears when he heard it, "You said Wen Xiaoguang, a high school student, 10,000 yuan a week?!"
"Real people, real things. The tone of Xiang Yang's speech seemed to be beyond doubt.
The girl shook the ball of yarn on her pocket, thinking about Wen Xiaoguang's back just now, and fell into some deep thought.
