Chapter 277: Envy
On 10 April, Jonas travelled to Angola to join up with offshore drilling platforms transferred from Norway and Nigeria to start oil exploration in the country.
Subsequently, he returned to Switzerland, where he planned to stay in Europe without going anywhere for two months.
First of all, he had to study and prepare for his graduation thesis. Secondly, it is necessary to conduct systematic training and prepare for the World Cup.
The graduation thesis is a summary of the stages of his life, although he has not spent much time in school in the past few years.
But his investment bank has a professor at the school, and his assistant is a doctoral senior, and in terms of learning, he has not delayed, even more than textbooks.
After obtaining his bachelor's certificate, Jonas still has to apply for Schwarch's graduate and doctoral studies, but at this time, it is not mainly to enrich himself, but to make a transaction.
Even a Ph.D. won't be as successful as Jonas, and all that is taught in school is the basis of theory.
Jonas has been recognized for his investment skills, and by passing the bachelor's degree, his foundation has been laid.
At this time, the main thing is to make a name for yourself.
Schwarch wants to be a student of the world's richest people and stabilize his social and academic status.
Jonas needs a sign like him and some guidance from him on the big picture.
Although it is a little too explicit, in addition to interests, there is still some affection between them, but they still take most of what they need.
And the World Cup is a grand event that he can't push and doesn't want to push. Even if he doesn't win glory for the country, he is not willing to give up this hobby.
Although, he has more hobbies.
Nnzelle regards Jonas as the only guarantee for the Swiss team and has always been very concerned about Jonas's fitness and physical condition.
After returning from Africa, Jonas took part in a friendly match between Switzerland and France.
In the previous day's training, Jonas still maintained a good level of training.
In the game, in the face of 21 shots from France's golden generation, Jonas just allowed the opponent to score a fairy goal.
Substitute goalkeeper Schoeller originally thought that Jonas had not trained and played systematically for most of the year, and his level would decline, and at this time, he could only be convinced by Jonas's talent.
Nzele couldn't keep his mouth shut even more, with Jonas as a talented player, qualifying for the group stage is almost a foregone conclusion.
Because just before this friendly match, the World Cup Organizing Committee held a draw ceremony.
Previously, the international competition reached 68 points, and the Swiss team, as the second team, was placed in Group E with Brazil, Spain and Algeria.
Spain have not been weak, but their style has always been restrained by Switzerland, and in international competitions, it is rare to win against Switzerland.
Brazil are Switzerland's favourite team to play, and their samba corps, which has the same style as Germany, is also the target of restraint.
At the very least, the Swiss team is afraid of a rude team like England with long balls, but they are not afraid of Brazil's technical play.
Algeria, an African team, although it is the second consecutive World Cup finals, is not in the eyes of Switzerland.
From the point of view of the grouping, the Swiss pair was divided into a group with a completely restrained style, and took advantage of it.
Moreover, this World Cup is not just the top two to advance, but twenty-four teams, only eight of which have been eliminated and entered the round of 16.
In other words, as long as you don't lose too badly, the third place can also advance to the round of 16.
After the game, a wrap-up meeting was held and the team was disbanded. Jonas went to Schwarch at the University of Zurich and asked him about the process of enterprise architecture design.
It was not Schwarch's responsibility to design a management structure that was not well designed, because he had to design a structure for Jonas's consortium that would be in line with its development laws, and it would have to take into account every department of the entire group.
Hoffman Investment Bank is in a period of rapid expansion, and in a year, dozens of factories have been added, and these factories will also be integrated.
In addition to these acquired factories and factories under construction in China, it is not an easy task for each to set a development route of at least five years.
Because his design architecture is not only to meet the requirements, but also to have centripetal force, cohesion, and form a unified force.
Up to now, at least in the automotive industry, a scale has been formed, filling the gap in the enterprise.
That is, from now on, we are really starting to refine the entire architecture.
"Give me two months and I need to visit every factory and meet every important person in charge. Only by seeing the operation of each factory and understanding the ability and character of the leadership can we give the most optimal plan. ”
Listening to Schwarch's words, Jonas did not hesitate for the slightest. "Kaiya Young, in the future, you will be responsible for accompanying Dean Schwarch, protecting his safety, and at the same time borrowing all resources to serve Dean Schwarchers. ”
Although Kaiya Yang didn't want to accompany an old man around, he had no choice but to accept it at this time.
April is election month in Switzerland, polling month, various meetings, elections are continuous.
Schwarch has a national office, and this month is the busiest, even if he is traveling around Europe, he can only see the stitches.
Jonas's Piaggio plane was given to him, and for the past two months, Jonas wasn't going anywhere.
In April, when the Swiss grass warbler flies, and the plum tree in their arms blooms full of small flowers, Jonas sits under the eaves of the porch in front of the door, carefully preparing his thesis.
Beside him, there were two satellite phones. Now the commercial big brother has appeared, but it weighs six pounds and is not suitable at all.
It will not be until next year that the real mobile phone, that is, Big Brother, will be on the market, although it still weighs one and a half pounds, but it can already meet the basic call needs.
His instructor, Erwin, was close to Neuer's equestrian instructor, Linsenhof, and wanted to learn to ride a horse.
A lawn between the two villas has been installed as a formal playing field, except that the grass has grown a little, which is completely in line with Olympic standards.
Grass grows for safety, and dressage training is often dangerous, and it is common for a horse to fall off a horse, or a horse to fall and crush a person.
Neuer, under the guidance of Linsenhoff, trained with devotion, and after a while, his little face was covered with fine sweat.
In the woods by the lake, Anna built an inflatable playground the size of a boxing ring for the two children, and Eugene, who was almost two years old, and Sophia, who was almost a year old, had a lot of fun in it.
The quiet time is soon shattered, and Grandma Hannah and two aunts return from a trip to town to vote. Joseph and Yones, the two cousins, were annoying enough to get out of the car and fight over a trivial matter.
It's still a well-behaved girl, and little Hannah is younger than them, and when she gets out of the car, she knows to coax her little niece.
She lifted Sophia out of the toy bed, as if dragging a toy because of her low strength.
Sophia was still laughing at first, but Hannah accidentally fell, and they both fell on their stomachs in the grass.
Anna hurriedly went over and picked them up, Sophia cried aggrievedly, and little Hannah carefully touched her feet. "Don't cry, don't cry. ”
Jonas ran close to see that Sophia was okay, but he was frightened. hugged her in his arms and coaxed a few times, stuffed a piece of chocolate into her mouth, and immediately laughed.
Back at her little table, Grandma Hannah moved a chair and sat next to her. "Isn't the paper not prepared until June?"
"The training camp will start in May, so I got my thesis ready, applied for completion in advance, and then enjoyed a month of football. ”
Hannah nodded and asked, "When are you going to move in?"
Jonas paused for a moment and asked, "Aunt Aigli would like to move back?"
Hannah nodded and said, "You have five rooms now, you have to move in, they move back in, and they can leave a study for Yones, and they don't have to occupy the guest room." ”
One percent of the shares, Jacob was easily impressed. However, after all, he is a partner of Venus, and he will not officially leave until May, and will only be a minority shareholder in the future.
However, he also worked in Zurich, and Jonas did not expect that he would be able to convince Agri to move back in.
But I heard Hannah say again: "I have also figured it out and moved in with you." I'll live on the third floor with Sophia, but you're going to have to change the elevator there. ”
The elevator at Neuer Castle is still an antique from a hundred years ago, pulled by hand. It doesn't matter, it's mainly the squeaky stop.
And hand-pulled fences are dangerous for small children.
When it was renovated, Te deliberately left the elevator without changing it, just to retain the classical atmosphere of the house.
However, since grandma is willing to move over, he won't care about an elevator, it's a big deal, just change to an antique elevator.
Jonas laughed, nodded immediately and said, "I'll let people replace when I turn around." ”
Hannah said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm in good health, I exercise every day, I don't care about taking the stairs, the main thing is that I'm afraid that Sophia will fall down through the fence." ”
"I understand. ”
After talking about the family affairs, Hannah asked again: "What is the situation in Africa now? Investing hundreds of millions of dollars at once, and taking on a guaranteed loan of 800 million dollars, the risk is not low. ”
"But the profits are even greater. Jonas took a document from under the phone and handed it to her. "You look at this feasibility report. ”
"What's the point of the feasibility report!" Hannah pressed Jonas' hand. "You also prepare a copy of the weekly work report of the geologists and prospectors. ”
"Good. ”
Hannah sighed and said, "How good is you doing in the automobile industry, why are you involved in the oil industry? We have enough money, and if we do a good job in the automobile industry, it will also be a stable and long-term development industry in the future." The oil industry is a dirty cannibalistic business, and I want to pray now that you can't find oil. ”
Oil could not be found, and the stop-loss line was at half a billion dollars, a loss that the Hoffman family can now afford.
But if oil is found, although the Hoffman family will become rich, but at the same time, it will attract more bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
"Don't worry, Grandma, I'll take care of it and let no one affect our lives. ”
Hannah touched his face and smiled gently, "We are a family, and we bear it together, whether it is happiness or misfortune." So, Jonas, don't do everything alone, you know?"
"Hmm. Jonas burst into admiration and rubbed his face against his grandmother's hand.
