Quincy's Restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in Harvard University, even older than Harvard University, it was built at the beginning of the establishment of the North American colonies, at first it was a castle of a certain lord, and then some changes occurred, the school was established after the fall of the Lord, so the castle naturally became part of Harvard University, and is now the most famous restaurant here, and it is also the place where Zyra chose to meet Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming came to Quincy Restaurant, he told the waiter the name of the box, the waiter was stunned at first, subconsciously looked Zhou Ming up and down, reacted and said sorry to Zhou Ming, and led Zhou Ming to the box.

In the middle of the castle, Jeunadine's box is a small banquet hall with a very long dining table, the kind that often appears in movies in medieval castles.

Zyra sat at the dining table, she heard the footsteps of someone coming and immediately stood up, although she asked Zhou Ming to come here, but at this time she saw Zhou Ming but didn't know what to say, just stood there stunned, and finally Zhou Ming relieved the embarrassing atmosphere and said to her: "Teacher Zyra, why choose such a place, let's sit down first, didn't you say that there is an old friend of mine?"

Originally, Zyra was about to sit down after listening to Zhou Ming's words, but when she heard the last sentence of her old friend, she immediately stood up again: "That's right, there is another very important person." ”

This action made Zhou Ming startled: "Teacher Zyra, what are you doing here, who is the important person you are talking about?"

Before Zyra could answer Zhou Ming's question, Zhou Ming heard a voice coming from behind him: "The person she said is me." ”

Hearing this voice, Zyra immediately called out to him respectfully Mr., Zhou Ming also turned around, and then saw a very familiar face, Zhou Ming called his name in one mouth: "Mr. Nordriman?"

The other party smiled slightly, showed eight big white teeth, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, we meet again." ”

Zhou Ming also smiled, shook hands with Nordriman, and then sat down together Zhou Ming said: "Mr. Nordriman, we haven't seen each other for a year since the last time we parted in Hong Kong City, but Mr. Nordriman, since you want to find me, then it would be better if you called me directly, why let Teacher Zytra deliberately sell me a pass? I have wondered who it will be for a long time!"

"Aren't I worried that I don't have enough weight for Mr. Zhou Ming to remember? You said that if I took the initiative to report my name, and you said that you don't know, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?" said Nordriman.

"No, I haven't been in the United States for a long time, and I don't know many Americans, I may not know the Governor of Massachusetts, but I certainly won't know you, Mr. Nordriman. Zhou Ming said.

After some pleasantries, Zyra asked the waiter to serve the food, which was a three-point steak mashed potato fruit salad and a bottle of red wine, a very typical American dish, and while eating Zhou Ming, she asked: "Mr. Nordriman, what exactly did you say you were going to tell me about the Chinatown Bank and the bay?"

Hearing Zhou Ming's question, Nordriman was stunned at first, then put down the tableware in his hand and wiped his mouth with the napkin on his chest before saying, "Mr. Zhou Ming, before answering your question, I want to ask you another question, what do you think capital is?"

Before coming over, Zhou Ming had a lot of conjectures about this meeting, including some questions that the other side might ask himself, so Zhou Ming was prepared, just thought for a moment and then replied: "Although I don't understand why you ask me this question, Mr. Nordriman, I think that capital is actually wealth, not only the money we use, but also the knowledge in your head, and the enterprises I master, these means of production are another kind of wealth." ”

"Mr. Zhou Ming, you are right, but what you said is only a kind of capital in a narrow sense, which is the wealth that you can only have after you quantify it. "And in my opinion, the so-called capital is actually the root of evil, he is everywhere, but he controls everything, from the steak we eat, to the presidential campaign, the war and peace on the other side of the ocean, it seems to be far away, but in fact it is all in the thought of capital." ”

"For example, if capital thinks that this cow should not die, then we will not be able to eat this steak, if capital thinks that President Walsh is a bastard, then he will immediately get out of the White House, and if capital thinks that there should not be a war, then there will be the ridiculous sit-down war that happened on the European continent fifty-one years ago, which is under the control of capital. ”

Nordriman explained to Zhou Ming, he glanced at Zhou Ming, and then said: "Maybe you don't know much about this, so let's say something you are familiar with, I think you must know the name Wu Zetian, right? He is the only female emperor of your China, but when it comes to why she is qualified to be the only one, you are afraid that you are not so clear." ”

"Is it also because of capital?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

"Isn't it because of capital?" asked Nordriman deliberately.

Nordriman's deliberate rhetorical question did not ask Zhou Ming to answer anything, and he continued: " Wu Zetian, also known as Wu Cao, is the second daughter of Wu Shi Tong, and Wu Shi Tong is a famous rich businessman in Shanxi, when the Tang King wanted to lead the army to fight the world and lack of money, it was Wu Shi Tong who helped him generously donate, and the return on investment of the Tang King to the Wu family, in addition to the official king, is to help him cover the capital throughout the country, from Shanxi to Luoyang to Jingzhou in every corner of the country, and even overseas, it is these strong capitals that have helped the Wu family to produce the only orthodox female emperor. ”

Saying that, Nordriman stretched out two hands: "Holding the sword in one hand and the money bag in the other hand is the real capital, no money can't make a sword, no sword can't protect money, this is a pair that complements each other." ”

Zhou Ming nodded silently: "Mr. Nordriman said this, I can understand that the ultimate form of capital is to carry out money politics? I can understand all this, but I am curious, Mr. Nordriman, why are you telling me this?"

"Because you are the new capital!" replied Nordriman, "I have been following you for a long time, you have shown great business skills from Red China to the port city to North Russia and then to the United States, I have never seen anyone who can accumulate wealth faster than you, your eyes are like God looking at the world, wherever there is an opportunity, you can always seize it at the first time." ”

At this point, Nordriman paused for a moment, and then continued: "I heard that your Wharton insurance company has been desperately selling and cashing out recently, and is it preparing for the other side of the bay?"

"What the hell do you want to say?" Zhou Ming asked with a frown.

"Don't worry, my dear Mr. Zhou Ming, what I want to tell you is that there will definitely be a war on the other side of the Gulf, because there is capital to need this war, and the time is probably from the end of July to the beginning of August. Nordriman said.

"What is the reason? to curb the expansion of the Tang Bank and the consortium behind him in the Gulf region?" Zhou Ming asked again.

Nordriman stared at Zhou Ming for a while and said, "You don't seem surprised, it seems that you have already spoken to the North Russian side on the phone, did Mr. Meta tell you?"

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who told me, the important thing is why you took so much trouble to reveal this news to me?"

"A little help for you. Nordriman also gestured to Zhou Ming with his hand, "Because the Donkey Bank is not as simple as you think, no one wants him to fall so quickly, including his opponent, and in addition, Zhou Ming's rise in Brighton is also a very interesting thing." ”

"Then which consortium do you belong to?" Zhou Ming asked suddenly.

Originally, Nordriman forked a steak with a fork at this time, but when he heard Zhou Ming's question, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and it took a while before putting the steak into his mouth.

After eating a piece of steak, Nordriman wiped his mouth again before saying, "It seems that you still have some understanding of me and the capital situation in the United States, but unfortunately, although I did come from Chicago, I did not belong to that consortium, I belonged to a higher one, Contzeen." ”

Zhou Ming frowned, because at this time, Zhou Ming was no longer the first brother when he first came to the United States, after a few months of study, he had added a lot of theoretical knowledge in economics, including the Kang Zeen that Nordriman said.

To put it simply, it is a monopoly alliance, which is similar to the form of a consortium, which is to combine some important enterprises together to form an alliance of interests through strong capital, but unlike the consortium, the family and business in Kang Caien will enjoy a higher degree of freedom, and they usually do their own things, and only when they are consistent with the outside world, the members of Kang Zeen will form an alliance.

Zhou Ming thought for a moment and asked Nordriman: "What about the Tang Bank?

Nordriman smiled, with an expression that he knew he would: "I knew you would ask that, but I advise you to take care of yourself first, if there is no other person's restraint, do you think you can have such a good time in Brighton? Just an old Brooke can easily play you to death, you don't think that a senior state senator, only the little ability he has shown, without support behind him, he will get out of the parliament building in minutes." ”

"You mean the Brighton consortium?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

"The Brighton Consortium is one of the oldest monopolistic consortiums in the United States, and its history is older than that of the United States. Nordriman introduced silently, and suddenly changed the conversation, "But this is only one aspect, the world is more complicated than you think, if you want to know more, please work hard to grow, only then can you turn the page and see the content behind the book." ”

After speaking, Nordriman leaned back in his chair: "Okay, what I said today is enough, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are the most unstable variable in Brighton, I hope you come on!"

Nordriman's words were very euphemistic, Zhou Ming got up and thanked him, and then left the restaurant.

And not long after Zhou Ming left the restaurant, another person came to the restaurant, and he asked Nordriman: "Is Zhou Ming already gone?"

Nordriman nodded as he ate and replied, "I just left, and I really missed it with you." ”

The man sat down next to Nordriman and asked, "So you told him everything?"

Nordriman thought for a moment and replied: "I've said everything I need to say, but this Zhou Ming is really a very interesting guy as you said, and I'm looking forward to him creating a miracle at Brighton." ”

"I also very much hope that, after all, the capital situation in the United States has been silent for too long, and everyone is clinging to their own one-third of an acre like Grande, so that the situation is rotten and stinky like a pool of stagnant water, and there is no freedom at all. The man said.

"So that's why you went to China in the first place? My Nordriman. ”

With that, the candlelight on the table shone on the man's face, and it turned out that he was the real Nordriman.
