Chapter 9: Surprise! (There is a change at 9 o'clock)
Why did Jia Lei spend so much money to do something that was particularly idiotic and didn't seem to make much sense?
Jia Lei sat on the plane and pressed his forehead irritably to consider the future development, he originally wanted to buy the stocks of Fortune 500 companies such as Amazon, KFC, and Johnson & Johnson at the bottom of the stock market of country M.
But when Jia Lei and Pitt inquired about Wall Street's banking institutions, they found a big loophole!
Twenty years later, many of the big companies that Chinese people are familiar with are Chinese abbreviations, and it is completely impossible to find these companies in 1990 by relying on Chinese names such as Citigroup, KFC and Oracle.
Citibank's English name is "Citbank", which originally means City Bank of Ne York.
Of course, its pronunciation is by no means Citibank, when Citibank first opened a branch near the Bund, there were always a lot of American flags at the door, and the Pearl people felt that it was too awkward to pronounce "citibank" in English, but everyone knew that Citibank was an American bank. The American flag is like a piece of blue and red floral cloth, and after a long time, the Pearl people simply called Citibank "Citibank".
This is really a sad story! What is also sad is that Jia Lei, who graduated from a normal university, has no understanding of the financial world at all!
Amazon, Coca-Cola, Visa, and other companies with homophonic names can still be found, and other companies can't even find a single one!
If you want to find those companies, it is better to go to school and find those founders who have not grown up!
Jia Lei wanted to die when he thought of the KFC company that he had spent several hours finding!
In 1990, KFC's parent company, Yum Restaurant Group, was called Tricon Global Restaurant, Inc., a name that I had never heard of before.
At this time, the future overlord of the catering industry was still a business unit of the PepsiCo Group in country M......
There were at least nine generation gaps between 2017 and 1990!
Many companies have changed their names more than once in a few decades!

Jia Lei hurriedly took the financial management team to the island country to grab control of the fund, and on the other side, the new financial genius Tom was holding a celebration banquet for himself!
He has just sold a futures contract worth $50 million, and his account balance has reached $300 million and he has successfully obtained the qualification for admission to major exchanges!
This celebration banquet was specially held for him by his girlfriend Eiko Yamaguchi Suzuki, and many overseas financial figures came to the celebration banquet based on the status of the Yamaguchi Suzuki family in the island country, and Yamaguchi Suzuki entertained the guests as a hostess.
At today's celebration party, Mr. Suzuki Yamaguchi will officially announce the engagement of Miss Suzuki Yamaguchi and Tom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news to share with you today, my daughter Sachiko Yamaguchi Suzuki is going to have an engagement ceremony with Mr. Tom of the Panda Foundation today!" Yamaguchi Suzuki announced in the center of the living room, and as soon as Yamaguchi Suzuki's voice ended, the guests began to applaud, and more than a dozen media rushed up to take pictures.
Tom wore a black tuxedo and Miss Sachiko, who wore a white dress and a crown, walked in to the music, and two children were opening the way with roses on the way, and a romantic engagement ceremony in Western style slowly unfolded.
More than a dozen media outlets recorded the whole process, and Tom became the focus of discussion for everyone present.
The financiers gathered in the island nation took this opportunity to communicate and cooperate with each other, and a series of transactions were made in the neon glittering glasses.
With a net worth of $300 million in 1990, Tom was already recognized by Western high society! This engagement banquet was also Tom's first appearance in high society.

The poor boy became a financial genius, and in the financial crisis, he became rich overnight with his extraordinary vision and outstanding courage, and was appreciated by the chaebol family and engaged to the daughter!
The actions in this column seem to be particularly in line with the aesthetics of the M people, just like their common American dramas, Tom has forgotten his identity in the compliments of everyone.
Tom was on his way to the bathroom when a reckless figure crashed into his arms.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! Someone is chasing me outside, so please let me hide for a while. A poor waitress looked up at Tom and asked.
"What happened, and why did anyone chase you?" asked Tom, puzzled.
"I accidentally spilled a glass of wine on Mr. Imai's clothes just now, and Mr. Imai insisted that I pay compensation. Because I won't, he'll send someone to arrest me!" said Mai Kojima.
"It's just a piece of clothing, it's okay, I'll help you pay for it!" Tom immediately changed his name to Tom Sue, ready to save the beauty as a hero.
"No, no, you can't pay for it, Mr. Imai is making me pay for it. That's why I'm running away!" Mai Kojima said sadly, and Tom fell in love instantly when he saw her tears.
"I know where the back door of the hotel is, I'll take you there!" Tom grabbed Mai Kojima and ran out, all as romantic as a movie.

At the same time, Jia Lei's plane landed at Kansai International Airport, and Jia Lei hurriedly stepped off the plane with the investment advisory group.
"Call Tom and ask him to come to the hotel to meet me immediately!" Jia Lei said to Pete, who hurriedly borrowed Big Brother from his colleagues in the island country.
In order to catch Tom off guard, Jia Lei didn't tell him that he was coming to the island country!
"I've already gone to the hotel to ask if Tom is there!" Pete put down the phone and said, Jia Lei heard this sudden psychological tremor and didn't know why he actually fell on the ground.
"Phew!" Jia Lei stood up, spat at the wound in his palm, wiped it casually a few times, and continued to walk forward.
"Tom isn't here, do you know where he's gone?" Jia Lei asked, and Pete hurriedly asked the front desk of the hotel over the phone.
"Oh my God, Tom is getting engaged today!Boss, are we here for his engagement?Do you want to surprise Tom? Unfortunately, you're in the wrong place, and the beautiful front desk lady told me that Tom's engagement was in Tokyo. Pete said.
"Surprise? Who told you I was here to surprise me? Tom gave me a big surprise, he never told me about such a big deal as an engagement. I was only surprised, not happy! understand?" Jia Lei walked faster after speaking, and this surprise made him frightened!
"Find someone to arrange a car to take us to the train station, and we'll rush to Tokyo overnight!" Jia Lei said quickly in English.
"Boss, why are you in such a hurry? You've been on the plane for more than ten hours, you should go to the hotel and get some rest. Lawyer Farr said that he was already a little too old to bear it.
"I don't know! I'm panicking, I always feel like something is going to happen! I hope to find Tom and get my money back as soon as possible. Jia Lei said with a frown.
The meteors in the sky were like rain, and a pair of men and women in front of Jia Lei immediately made a wish on the meteor!
"Shooting stars are so beautiful!" said the girl, jumping to her feet.
But she didn't know that the meteor was called a broom star in Huaxia!
You'll be out of luck if you meet a broom star!

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Tom brought a waitress back to the hotel! This is impossible!" said Miss Sachiko in disbelief as she heard her report.
You must know that she is the eldest lady of the Yamaguchi-gumi! Who dares to rob a man with her in the island country?
