Evening.
The sun sets, and the sunset renders.
Zhang Wei was sent back to the house by Mr. Zhang's driver, opened the door with the key and walked in, saw Leng Yan in the kitchen stir-frying, the fragrance wafted to the living room, the crackling sound of oil spots made him even more hungry, just put down the schoolbag, and saw his mother sitting in front of the sofa looking at the photo album in his hand.
"Mom, why didn't you cook today?" Zhang Wei ran over with a smile.
Cheng Lin glanced up at him and shouted at the kitchen: "Xiao Leng, he thinks you don't cook well." ”
Zhang Wei almost fainted, "What?"
Cheng Lin smiled and beckoned to him, "Come here, help me choose a driver." He pushed down the album in his hand.
Walking over and sitting down, Zhang Wei was also curious, "Driver?"
"Well, yes, I don't know you well in this place, you sometimes have to study, I always have to go out with Xiao Leng to buy groceries, so I will find a Chinese who can speak English as a driver by the way. Cheng Lin pointed to a Chinese woman in her thirties in the album, "How is she?"
Above is a woman with short ear-length hair.
Zhang Wei glanced at it casually, "It's okay, how do you have these information?"
"I felt inconvenient, so I called Mr. Yang and asked him if he had any recommended candidates. Cheng Lin said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang in Washington?" Zhang Wei said in surprise.
The kitchen door was opened, and Leng Yan walked out from inside with a plate, "Eat." ”
Cheng Lin sighed and stood up to serve the food.
For a while.
The dishes are all ready.
Three people are served for dinner.
Leng Yan looked up slightly, "Is it delicious?"
Zhang Wei, who had been hungry for a long time, nodded while eating potatoes, and reported the good news: "Mom, Sister Leng, let me tell you something, I ran over to Joseph to test me today, I passed, and I will go over tomorrow to study." ”
Cheng Lin said as a matter of course: "Is it normal for you to pass?"
Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and said, "What is normal, I have spent a lot of effort, okay?" He turned his head to look at Leng Yan, "Sister, did you say?"
"It's normal. Leng Yan was still very brief.
Zhang Wei was a little dumbfounded, it's not easy for a buddy, in your opinion, it should be a matter of course?
……
Following.
The early morning sun was good.
I called a taxi and came to Joseph's villa.
After ringing the doorbell, the maid came to open the door, Zhang Wei followed in, and when he walked to the door, two voices came from inside.
"Mr. Joseph, can you do me a favor?"
"Sorry, IMBD doesn't meet the loan requirements, I can't help with this. ”
"Is it really not going to work? Our company is running out of steam!"
"You can go to a commercial bank for a loan, and you don't know the procedures that international banks have to go through, Cole, don't embarrass me, okay?"
"But commercial banks can't lend so much money......"
"That's not on my radar. ”
There was silence inside, and then the servant pushed the door in, and shouted inside, "Sir, your student Wei is here." ”
Looking inside, Joseph was sitting on the couch with a white man with beige hair, who was supposed to be named Cole, looking at Joseph pitifully.
"Teacher. Zhang Wei said hello and walked inside.
Joseph turned around and stood up, "Come, come and sit." As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and pointed to the man and introduced: "Cole Niedhan, the chairman of IMDB, Wei, my student. ”
Zhang Wei greeted, "Hello Mr. Cole." ”
Cole's mood was low, "Hello. ”
After greeting him, Joseph said hello to Cole, and asked Zhang Wei to sit in the living room and wait, before going in to get the books.
Zhang Wei, who was a little bored sitting there, had nothing to say, "Mr. Cole, just now the teacher said that you are the chairman of IMBD, what is the company sitting on?"
Mr. Cole lowered his head and sighed: "Our company is an Internet movie database, an online database about movie actors, movies, TV shows, TV stars, video games and movie production, which can be said to be the largest movie database on the global Internet, which includes almost all movies, as well as TV episodes after 1982, which can be regarded as a movie and TV rating." ”
Movie rating?
Wait, IMBD movie ratings?
Zhang Wei suddenly felt a little familiar, always felt that he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, he analyzed it carefully, it must not be heard after returning to this era, then it must be heard in the previous life, since he can make himself familiar, it means that this imbd is somewhat famous in later generations.
"It turned out to be a very good company for film and TV ratings. Zhang Wei said with a smile, but he kept searching for information about this company in his heart, but he didn't have a clue.
Cole was frustrated, "I think it's good, but now the money can't support it, the database is growing all the time, and the profits are being used on equipment, and it's hard to maintain it." ”
About these Zhang Wei understands, the general small and medium-sized enterprises will have a similar situation, when the development to a certain stage, either continue to roll money, or the earned money into the equipment, continue to roll money on behalf of the enterprise will not develop for a long time, and even miss the best opportunity for development, but put money into the equipment, and will lead to the economy can not keep up, a very contradictory place.
"Perhaps, you can sell some of your shares. Zhang Wei made a plan.
Cole was a little stubborn and said, "There are large companies that want to buy our company, but they can't guarantee that they will continue to provide their information for free, so I and the shareholders refused. ”
Before he could say something more, there was a sound of footsteps, and Joseph came out with two or three thick books.
Zhang Wei quickly stopped the topic, today is to study, not to give advice.
Na Ke didn't seem to want to leave yet, and sat there watching Joseph teach Zhang Wei a lesson.
"Wei, what aspect of finance are you more familiar with?" said Mr. Joseph's hand, stroking over the three books.
Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "It seems that they are all a little involved, but they only know a little bit about the skin." ”
"You are too modest, and it is not good for us to be modest in Western countries. Joseph smiled, "Since you don't know what you are more familiar with, then I will choose today's course for you, I remember that you have earned hundreds of millions of dollars in the baht, so let's talk about monetary economics." ”
When he heard this, Cole suddenly raised his head to look at Zhang Wei, and said in a staggered manner: "Joseph, he... He made hundreds of millions?"
Joseph didn't pay any attention to him, and took out a book from it, "This "Monetary History of American Imperialism" is the focus of my lecture today, you can read it first. ”
Zhang Wei smiled kindly at Cole, then took the book from Joseph's hand, sat quietly there and opened the book and read it, this book he had read a little bit in his later life, it was a review, the book "Monetary History" has high academic value, and it is written for ordinary people, the book uses a large number of examples and vivid analogies to ensure that the "layman" can also read it.
After watching it for a while, Zhang Weizhi was able to associate the contents inside.
Joseph said, "While you are watching, I want you to think about a question, if you didn't use a knife as a medium when you were frying Thai baht, what would you choose as the best medium? Or if you were not frying baht, but a knife, what would you use as a medium?"
Hearing this, Zhang Wei's movements paused, yes, because of the memory of his previous life, he used the American knife as a medium, what if he changed the object of currency speculation to the American knife? What kind of constant currency should be used as a medium?
There is some depth to the question.
Because choosing a general currency is not as stable as the American knife.
For example, when you speculate on Thai baht, you will probably not make any money, and you will lose money because of the Asian financial turmoil.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he raised his head and said tentatively: "Pounds?"
Joseph shook his head, "Your mind is tied to currency, so your first instinct is to change it to currency, why can't it be something else?"
Something else?
So what is there to replace money?
Zhang Wei frowned, suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "You mean gold, silver and other equivalents?"
"Yes!" Joseph was very happy, "worthy of a genius in finance, I mean this, for example, you say that the US imperialist will have a financial crisis, if you want to make money on the US sword, it is naturally impossible to use the US knife as a unit, and if we have a financial crisis in the US imperialism, it is likely to lead to the global economy is sluggish, at this time, if you choose to use other currencies as a medium, it is very likely that you will not be able to make any money, at this time, exchange the currency for the equivalent of gold, Silver, or some other relatively stable equivalent, doesn't happen, but on the contrary, can you make a fortune from the financial crisis, you know what I mean?"
Zhang Wei suddenly became enlightened, Joseph did not mean to let himself really make money on the knife, but pointed out a clear way for himself, even if the whole world is losing money, he can also make money in another way because of some things predicted, this teacher is not simple, tell in the simplest way, but let people understand a very deep truth, no wonder the other party can become the world's top economist, no wonder Joseph can win the Nobel Prize in economics in later generations, people have real kung fu!
Next, Zhang Wei kept humbly asking for advice.
Joseph was also happy to teach Zhang Wei, a potential student.
The class lasted from about eight o'clock in the morning until lunch, and at about nine o'clock Cole got up and took his leave, perhaps Mr. Joseph's lecture made Cole sleepy.
"Okay, that's it for today's lesson. Joseph closed the book, "You take the "Monetary History of American Imperialism" back and read it, and come back to the class again next week." ”
Zhang Wei knew that the other party was very busy, so he quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, teacher." ”
The two sides chatted again, and Joseph did not leave Zhang Wei to eat.
The maid sent Zhang Wei to the door.
Zhang Wei was very emotional, he didn't know if he didn't study, but after learning, he realized that finance is really broad and profound, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Just as he was about to call a taxi home, Zhang Wei suddenly saw a person on the other side of the road smiling and groaning to himself - it was Cole!
Didn't he leave early?
Why are you still here?
Zhang Wei was puzzled, and Ke Er walked over with a smile, as if he was coming for himself! )
