Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Visit
The next day, several Swiss newspapers praised the rising star of football, Jonas, as the hope of Swiss football.
Jonas's handsomeness, including his solidity on the pitch, has attracted quite a few fans for him.
By this time, however, Jonas was already on the campus of the University of Zurich, continuing his search.
The official opening of the school will start tomorrow, in addition to the classrooms on the old campus, and the new campus, we must also determine the location of each classroom today.
Yesterday he was an ordinary student, but today when he walked around the campus, he was greeted by students who recognized him from time to time.
Europe has a better atmosphere at this point, respecting personal space, and even if you recognize him, it is just a hello, and it is rare for someone to come and disturb you when you have something to do.
Of course, this also has something to do with his fame. If stars like the Dutch trio, Italy's Rossi, and Maradona appear, it will still cause traffic jams.
Walk up about 200 meters along a five-meter-wide uphill road on the south side of the Faculty of Economics building, and on the left-hand side of the road there is a courtyard built against the mountain.
Because the courtyard is built on the mountain, there is a rock at the gate, and there are trees and flowers above the rock, and there is a garage door under the rock.
Next to the garage door, there is an iron gate that is only one meter wide, and when you enter, only one person can pass through, and the steps are folded back and forth.
There was no sign outside the courtyard, and Jonas checked the house number, pushed open the waist-high iron gate, and walked up the steps.
There was a hut at the top of the steps, slightly larger than the sentry box, which could accommodate a bed, and a sturdy security guard saw Jonas and asked, "Hello, sir, who may I look for?"
Jonas noticed a small white wooden sign in the window of the hut with a string of arched letters in black writing that read "Swiss Institute of Finance".
Not looking for the wrong place, Jonas replied: "I'm Jonas Hoffmann, looking for Professor Heim Hugo, and I have already made an appointment." β
The other nodded, picked up the phone, and Jonas observed a small building that looked like a dwelling.
The main building is a three-story beige building, with an area of about three or four hundred square meters per floor, and there is not much decoration in the frame-like deconstruction.
But the garden here is very beautifully built, there are three large trees in the yard, which almost cover the whole sky, and the bottom of the big trees is full of flowers.
The gravel path is separated by flowers, and there are five rows of chairs distributed in different corners.
The garden is a cross-section of a hillside, four or five meters higher than the outside, and the view is blocked by the main building higher than the villa, so the environment is very secluded.
The security guard quickly made sure and said to Jonas, "Professor Heim's room is in room 209 on the second floor, because professors like a quiet environment, please try not to make noise." β
Jonas smiled, nodded to him, and said, "I'm a Swiss." β
The other grinned and nodded.
Sixty percent of the University of Zurich is a foreign student, and this percentage is increasing year by year. Unlike Swiss students, who prefer to be quiet, many students abroad are often complained about making noise.
Jonas entered the main house and found a large conference room on the left and an elegantly furnished ballroom on the right on the first floor of the house.
The living room in the middle is not large, with only a few low sofas, and a few high-backed sofas divide the area into three reception areas.
There are no secretaries and no students on duty.
In the living room, there were four young men in the appearance of students and a middle-aged man in his thirties, whispering something, and when he saw Jonas come in, he nodded lightly to the person who looked at him.
Jonas nodded slightly, and without stopping, he walked straight to the wide staircase.
There is also a small living room at the staircase on the second floor, with five small tables forming a cafΓ© with a beautiful view of the garden through the window.
There was also a water heater, coffee machine, and refrigerator on the wall, but there was no one in sight.
On the left-hand side is a hallway, with ten rooms intersecting each other, from 201 to 210.
The decoration is very simple, and it can even be said that it is a bit shabby, which does not match their name at all.
But Jonas knew that it was just a branch, a place for the Institute of Finance to exchange ideas from the University of Zurich.
The financial institute, headquartered in Bern, is not an official institution, but is supported by the Ministry of Finance and the Parliament.
209At the end of the right-hand side, Jonas knocked lightly on the door three times.
No one answered, and Jonas waited and was about to knock again, when the door opened. A twenty-five-year-old woman, who still had the temperament of a student, smiled and said, "Hello, please come in." β
Jonas smiled and nodded to her. "Hello. β
Five other students in the room looked curiously, and they sat around a large table by the door, which was filled with various materials.
Jonas nodded with them all and walked to the back of the room.
"Hello, Jonas. Seeing all this, isn't it different from what you think?" Naturally, it was Professor Hugo who spoke, and Jonas thought about it, a middle-aged man with thin glasses, although he was not good-looking, but he had the elegance of a Frenchman.
At the entrance of this room, which is only more than 20 square meters, is the large table, and then there is a reception area composed of two sofas, and against the wall is a data cabinet more than two meters high, which fills the room.
At the bottom was Professor Hugo's desk, which took up a small space, but there was a computer on it, which was a rarity in this era.
Generally, except for computer science departments, computers are rarely seen in universities, after all, they are too expensive.
Jonas complimented, "No, it's about the same as I thought, full of knowledge." β
He smiled and instructed the schoolgirl, "Seren, can you pour a cup of coffee for our guest?"
"Of course. Professor. Seren looked at Jonas and smiled, and walked out in a hurry.
"You may be seated. My office at school was too noisy, so I often worked here, and it was a bit too crowded. β
Jonas looked at the students who were a few years older than him and said, "It's too crowded because there are too many students who want to study with the professor, right?"
"You're very good at talking, and it's completely different from what your dad used to talk about you. β
"Fathers and sons who are estranged will always only see the side they want to see. β
Hugo was really amused this time, looked at Jonas and smiled: "Interesting." I'm so glad to see that stinky guy have a nemesis. β
"We feel the same way. β
It's not that Jonas is pandering to the other side, in fact, Yannick is really a stinky fart, and he is very proud.
Except for Hannah, Jonas never saw him be respectful to anyone, and even when he was with Macridge, he was like a proud peacock.
Of course, he has the qualifications to be a stinky fart.
Hugo smiled: "I'm starting to like you, if in a few years, you are still willing to continue to go to school, I am willing to take you." β
Hugo is Yannick's old classmate, and the two are not far from each other, Jonas came to study at the University of Zurich Yannick introduced Jonas to him, which can be regarded as looking for a backer.
However, in addition to giving some big lessons to the third and fourth year students, Hugo mainly takes graduate students and doctoral students.
Moreover, he was not necessarily better than those lecturers, and a lot of the intricacies of Jonas might just be common sense to him.
Jonas said: "No one can say what the future holds, but for me, it's about learning the basics before you can get the future." β
He nodded and said, "Your dad called me yesterday and told me about your major. You tell me what you think, and then I'll help you refer to your course selection. β
The other boys were originally listening attentively to the conversation between the two of them, and they were all deflated when they heard this, it turned out to be a little cute new!
Jonas knew that his time was precious, and he didn't delay and handed him the study plan that Wolf had helped him make. "It's a lesson that BrΓΌti Wolf has put together for me, but it's supposed to be a general outline. Yesterday I had a discussion with my dad, and I had a little disagreement with him, so I had to ask the professor to come to him. β
He looked down at the list and said, "BrΓΌti Wolff, I know him." He is still very good at asset management statistics, but you have to learn more about my major. β
Heim Hugo is an expert in fund securities venture capital at the Institute of Financial Research, which is called a think tank in the United States, and there is no doubt about his ability to serve as a project expert in such a national think tank.
Seren came in with a cup of coffee, and Jonas stood up to take it and said thank you.
Hugo quickly read the list and asked, "Yannick is now focusing mainly on venture capital and equity investment, is this the main reason that influenced your choice of major?"
Jonas nodded and said, "There is one thing, the family banking business cannot be abandoned, but to keep up with the times, we can't always hold on to the original business. That's why I chose the Department of Banking and Finance. However, in terms of specific courses and study directions, because there are too many branches of economics, I am afraid that I will not be able to make the most reasonable choice myself. β
"Since it is difficult to choose, it is better to use the method of elimination. Nowadays, there are 16 main divisions of the Department of Economics, such as public finance, insurance, mathematical finance, and behavioral finance, which can be excluded from the beginning. β
He circled one name after another on the paper, and in the end there were only four types left: financial finance, investment finance, money and banking, and international finance.
However, after thinking about it, he crossed out international finance, and there were only three left.
Jonas said: "I personally think that money and banking can also be crossed out, and I am currently a little hesitant about financial markets and investment finance. My argument with my dad is also here. β
He smiled and said, "Actually, you've already made your choice, haven't you?"
