"Brother Joe, before I answer your question, you can answer me a question, do you know what was the most significant event in world finance in the twentieth century?" asked Mr. Breuer rhetorically.

"Then you don't need to say it, it must be the establishment of the Federal Reserve!" Qiao Tianyu didn't think about it, and blurted out directly.

You must know that as the central bank of the world's most powerful country, the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913 is recognized as the most significant event in the world's financial history in the 20th century.

Because with the establishment of the Federal Reserve, it not only announced that the United States, as the most powerful country in the world, has a unified financial management institution, but also heralded the unification and rise of the American financial industry.

Moreover, since its inception, the Federal Reserve has successfully replaced the Bank of England as the most powerful central bank in the entire world, successfully challenging the position of the empire on which the sun never sets as the world's financial center.

Since then, world finance has undergone an unprecedented change of dynasty, and world finance has officially entered the era of Wall Street in the United States from the era of London, England!

"Haha, it seems that Brother Qiao is still very familiar with the history of world finance!" said Mr. Brewer with a smile.

"Mr. Brewer, you don't mean that this Parker gold pen has anything to do with the establishment of the Federal Reserve, right?" Seeing that Mr. Brewer mentioned the establishment of the Federal Reserve, Qiao Tianyu asked in surprise.

This Parker gold pen was the same pen used on December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act, announcing the establishment of the Federal Reserve. ”

In other words, this Parker gold pen is the only witness to the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the world's most powerful central bank, and its historical significance and social value have far exceeded the value of this gold pen itself. ”

"According to Sotheby's, the world's largest auction house, someone on the black market can offer a $1 billion bounty for this Parker Pen!"

"A few years ago, when this Parker Gold Pen was kept in my uncle's house, it was repeatedly patronized by world-famous thieves and even gangsters, just to grab this Parker Gold Pen, but fortunately they did not succeed. ”

"Later, my uncle was so annoyed by them that he put this Parker gold pen in the safest underground safe at Citibank's headquarters, and the custody fee alone was as high as $3 million a year!"

"And Citibank also built a separate underground safe with a security level comparable to the Federal Reserve vault for this Parker gold pen, and bought up to $1 billion in premiums for this gold pen!"

I'm going to rub it!

Hearing that it was just for a pen and going to such great lengths, Qiao Tianyu was really drunk!

However, in addition to being shocked, Qiao Tianyu was also moved to tears by his mentor, Professor Friedman.

It is said that as one of Professor Friedman's favorite objects in his life, this Parker gold pen is of such great significance and value, but Professor Friedman said that he would give it to Qiao Tianyu without blinking his eyes.

This is how much Professor Friedman trusts and attaches importance to Qiao Tianyu, a closed disciple, and Qiao Tianyu feels ashamed of it!

It is said that since Qiao Tianyu apprenticed, it has only been half a month, and Qiao Tianyu thinks that he has not done anything for his teacher.

But his mentor, Professor Friedman, valued himself so much, he actually gave himself such a precious gold pen, and always solved problems for Qiao Tianyu, how could Qiao Tianyu, as a student, not be moved?

But then again, there has never been ruthlessness in the world for no reason, and there is no reason for nothing!

What Qiao Tianyu didn't know was that in Professor Friedman's life, although the old professor had countless students, and there were many students who won the Nobel Prize in economics.

But Qiao Tianyu is the only student who can help Professor Friedman untie the knot that has plagued him for decades, if it were not for Qiao Tianyu's appearance, it is estimated that the old professor is very likely to leave this world with lifelong regrets.

So now Professor Friedman's kindness to Qiao Tianyu can be regarded as the old professor's gratitude to Qiao Tianyu!

Because for Professor Friedman, who is "the world's No. 1 economist today", although he has achieved unattainable success in his life, looking at the whole world, Professor Friedman has won all awards and honors related to economics and finance.

However, in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, the failure of Chile's economic reforms, led by Professor Friedman, plunged the Chilean people into endless poverty and hardship.

Professor Friedman has always blamed himself for the failure of Chile's economic reforms, and even made him deeply suspicious of the "monetary economic theory" that he founded and carried forward.

As a result, the kind-hearted old Professor Friedman fell into infinite guilt for the Chilean people, which became the biggest pain point in Professor Friedman's life.

Since the failure of Chile's economic reforms, Professor Friedman has been depressed and depressed.

Some time ago, Qiao Tianyu, who was in the old professor's house, pointed out sharply that the failure of Chile's economic reform was caused by the dictatorship of the Chilean military, and there was nothing wrong with the "monetary economic theory" pioneered by Professor Friedman.

Therefore, Qiao Tianyu's "polemic" completely untied the knot that had plagued Professor Friedman for decades, so that Professor Friedman finally received the fairest and most acceptable evaluation in his lifetime, and "rehabilitated" Professor Friedman.

Professor Friedman really did not expect that he would be in vain for the title of "the world's No. 1 economist today", let alone the countless world economics awards he had won in his lifetime, and his views and propositions would be less than that of a hairy boy in his twenties.

Therefore, in addition to the joy of receiving a fair evaluation, Professor Friedman was also grateful to Qiao Tianyu, recognized Qiao Tianyu as a student, and was determined to use his last efforts and energy to help Qiao Tianyu achieve a great cause!

After the shock, Qiao Tianyu finally understood the deep meaning of Professor Friedman's arrangement, and it seemed that Professor Friedman had long expected that Qiao Tianyu would visit Sir Alan Spangreen again.

It's just that the old professor has long sensed that his health is not good, so he gave Qiao Tianyu the precious Parker gold pen, because the old professor knows that as long as he has this Parker gold pen in his hand, Qiao Tianyu wants to see Sir Alan Spangreen It is easy to get it--- the teacher is really too thoughtful for Qiao Tianyu!

Since Professor Friedman had already made arrangements, Qiao Tianyu would naturally not live up to his mentor's kindness, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Mr. Brewer and hurriedly took the Parker gold pen to Washington to find Sir Alan Spangreen!
