Every year, Roshi College conducts academic exchanges with schools around the world, and most of the time is spent receiving other schools in the second half of the year, and visiting other schools in the first half of the year.

All of the 40 members of the graduating class, except for Kurou from Morocco, who did not attend the tour due to illness, all the others participated in the event.

For every student, learning knowledge in this school is only one aspect, and it is more important to use this platform to meet more elites in this world.

Whether it is the children of nobles and powerful people or the children of wealthy merchants, they all attach great importance to this visit.

On April 11, the school first took a bus to visit three sister universities in Milan and Switzerland.

On April 20, he arrived in Paris for an exchange with Louis the Great, and on April 23, he arrived in London by plane for an academic exchange with Harrow College, the most famous school in England.

In each college, the two colleges will compete in five disciplines: academic exchanges, cultural exchanges, sports competitions, debates on current affairs, and public presentations.

Although it is said that friendship comes first and competition comes second, in every school, the smell of gunpowder is still relatively strong.

Jonas didn't excel in other areas, as his eloquence didn't stand out over the past few years and his teachers didn't expect much from him.

However, his fencing is now on par with his coach Bakkel, so he arrives at every school and has a hard time playing fencing.

In addition, several of his current affairs papers are also written at a high level. At Harrow, he represented the school in a debate with representatives of Harrow on the future of science and technology, and won the debate.

On 29 April, a group of 46 of them left England by plane for Armenia.

By this time, Jonas had been treated as an ace by Principal Gray and the teachers.

On April 30, they arrived in New York for an academic exchange with Howard High School in New York.

At this exchange meeting, the two sides conducted academic discussions on the current rapidly developing computer industry. Although students in New York have a better understanding of the current computer industry development, they have a clearer understanding of the development trends of Microsoft, Oracle, and Apple computers.

However, they are still very conservative about the development of the computer industry. In the stage where LAN is still experimenting and exploring, no one can see the future development of the Internet industry clearly.

At this seminar, as a representative of the school, Jonas made a bold prediction about the Internet industry, believing that the Internet, which began to be implemented in early 1983, will explode at a very rapid speed, and the Internet will also become an important engine for the development of science and technology in the future.

To be honest, although his prediction seems to be reasonable, most people don't believe it.

Today's network is still a small local area network, mainly for mail sending, there are no many functions of later generations, and the speed is outrageously slow.

However, because he left the Howard High School students speechless at the seminar, his opinion was still quite interesting.

The school recorded his speech and prepared to include it in the school's academic annual report for 83 years.

This annual report is printed every year, and the results of the school are comprehensively sorted out from the four aspects of academic breakthroughs, sports achievements, literary and artistic development, and friendly exchanges, and then sent to each student and sister colleges.

This was the first time that Jonas systematically expounded his academic thoughts, and his speech is now unheeded.

But in the future, Jonas believes that after he relies on the Internet to develop, these words will definitely become the bible of the development of the Internet industry.

Although it is not the best time to invest in the Internet industry, Microsoft and Oracle, two major software companies, have been established, and now is actually the best time to invest in them.

He is saying this now, on the one hand, to lay the foundation for his future investment in the Internet industry, and on the other hand, he is also deliberately showing Yannick.

For hundreds of years, Hoffman Bank's main means of making money was to provide loan funds for other banks to earn the difference, which was the safest profit model.

For example, the interest rate on bank deposits is only 3% per year, but the return on investment of wealth management funds provided by Hoffman Bank for the wealthy is more than 5% per year, and sometimes even more than 10%.

If you want to make a profit, you mainly rely on providing short-term loans to other banks, and such a large amount of capital transactions can easily bring the interest rate to more than 5%.

Hoffman Bank relies on this sound investment, bringing together a large number of high-quality customers and providing long-term investments with the highest interest rates for the wealthy.

Since Yannick came to power, his main focus has now been on providing financial services to clients like Macridge.

He actually looks down on the safe income of the part of bank lending, because the profit is too small.

He now mainly relies on providing financial services to customers, earning service fees, and at the same time involving a part of equity investment.

And equity investment, there is no more profitable than investing in Microsoft. Today, Microsoft has not yet gone public, and if you can become a shareholder of Microsoft now, it will definitely be a profitable investment.

To convince Yannick, Jonas can't rely on empty words, and if he doesn't have a clear understanding of the industry and doesn't show his talent in this area, why should Yannick believe him?

However, neither Microsoft nor Oracle have gone public. Microsoft only developed version 1.0 in 85 years, and it is still two years away from today!

So Jonas is not in a hurry, and now he will only lay out slowly.

On May 3, they flew to Los Angeles on the West Coast and stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

On the hillside north of the hotel is Harvard's Westlake High School, where they are going to visit. Less than a kilometre south of the hotel is Fox Studios' more than 1.2 million square meter headquarters in Hollywood.

"Jonas, tomorrow for the rest day, where are we going?"

Jonas turned back from the window, and Kostler was lying on the bed, his body spread out like he had no bones.

"If you ask the other students, even if it's a day off, the teachers won't let us move freely for our safety. ”

Thirty-nine students, all of whom are the children of aristocrats, billionaires, and at worst, celebrities. If any of them go wrong, the school can't afford to take that responsibility.

Therefore, even if there is a holiday tomorrow, at most, it will only be led by the teacher and go to Hollywood.

The phone in the room rang suddenly, and Kostler picked it up curiously. "Who's calling us now? Hey, hello ......"

His smile froze. "Yes, may I ask you...... Jonas, looking for you. The other party said that it was Alain Ryder of Fox Corporation. ”

Alain Ryder, president of Fox Films.

Jonas guessed that he would receive a call from Fox when he arrived in Los Angeles, but he didn't expect it to be Adelaide calling in person.

Of course, he knows very well that this is not because the other party values him, but because the other party values Yannick behind him.

He took the phone and said calmly in English, "Hello, President Ryder, I'm Jonas. ”

For the president of one of the world's top film companies, mastering the time he spent in Los Angeles and the room he stayed in was just a trivial matter.

He just didn't expect that the other party's speed would be so fast, and it would be less than five minutes since they entered the room.

A slightly hoarse voice came from inside the phone. "Hello, Jonas. Knowing you're coming to Los Angeles, I kept an eye on your itinerary, and right now, I'm in the lobby of my hotel. ”

"I am deeply honored to come down to see you at once. ”

It was already hot in Los Angeles in May, and although it was already evening, Jonas was sweating and had not yet showered.

It was obviously rude to keep Ryder waiting too long. "Kostler, help me open my suitcase, help me get out the thin suit I had prepared, and the striped long-sleeved shirt and tie help me prepare the light blue one. ”

Kostler answered, "Do you need me to accompany you down to meet him?"

"No, he probably just wants to see me......"

He went into the bathroom and washed his face casually. He came out and took off his shirt with the school's crest and put on the clothes that Kostler had already prepared.

Although the weather is hot, the hotel is very air-conditioned, and it doesn't feel too hot in a suit.

As they went downstairs, they met Edward and a few of his classmates who were also preparing to go downstairs, and they were a little curious to see Jonas dressed. "Jonas, are you going out?"

"No, I'm just going to the café to meet a friend. ”

Churchill asked, "You don't bring Theresa with you?"

Several others laughed, and Jonas laughed, "More precisely, a business partner, and I met him for the first time, so it was inconvenient for Theresa to come forward." ”

They nodded, and Edward asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow?" We want to go to Hollywood and see the world, and we hope to get the majority of the students to agree, and then propose it to the teacher. ”

The elevator came, Jonas pressed the button, and they all went in, and Jonas went in and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure yet, but I don't have anything else to offer." If there is no personal matter, I will act with you. ”

"Very well, we will ask most of the students for dinner later. ”

The elevator reached the first floor, and there were several middle-aged people and two young people in business clothes standing at the elevator entrance.

They got out of the elevator, and when Jonas and the others came out, they didn't get into the elevator, but smiled at Jonas and shouted, "Hello, Jonas." ”

Jonas paused for a moment, then turned to face the bearded middle-aged man at the front of the group and asked, "Mr. Ryder?"

He is not tall and looks like an uncle next door, because of his big beard, Jonas, who has only seen a photo of him without a beard, is not recognized at once.

Edward and the others also stopped and asked, "...... Jonas?"

Jonas smiled and said, "Edward, it's okay, they're the friends I want to meet." ”

Ryder smiled and nodded to them before he held out his hand to Jonas and said, "Jonas, welcome to Los Angeles." ”
