Chapter 551: Car Accident
Today is the day of Nortel's 02 graduation ceremony, and the standard screening hall is already crowded at less than nine o'clock, which are full of graduates wearing bachelor's uniforms and parents who have been invited to watch the ceremony. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The students were very excited, as if they were chattering endlessly. Only Liu Yifei was an exception, sitting in a chair and sulking, as if someone owed her money and didn't pay it back.
Zhu Yawen felt strange, lowered his voice and asked, "Crawl, what's wrong with Sissi, who upset her?"
Jiang Yan said in a low voice: "Teacher Zhang promised that Qianqian would come to attend the graduation ceremony, but now she hasn't appeared, and the phone can't get through, and Qianqian is angry!"
Zhu Yawen said: "Teacher Zhang is so busy, he must have forgotten ......" Before he finished speaking, he felt Liu Yifei's murderous gaze stabbing straight at him, and hurriedly snorted: "I definitely won't forget, Teacher Zhang should be stuck in traffic, hahaha, it must be so!"
Liu Yifei snorted, twisted his head back, and continued to be angry, while Zhu Yawen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and exhaled heavily, Mom, Sissi is so terrible today!
At this time, the leaders of the school walked on the stage, and the whole scene suddenly broke out into a round of warm applause. Liu Yifei also suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and focused on the graduation ceremony.
The process of the graduation ceremony is the same, the leader speaks, the teacher speaks, and then the tassel pulling ceremony.
The whole event lasted for more than an hour, and the graduation ceremony was over, and the students present left the standard screening room together to take their graduation photos.
Liu Yifei came out of the screening hall and looked around, but still didn't see Zhang Ran. She was even more angry, so much so that her face was a little dark when she took a group photo with her classmates.
Just after taking a group photo, Liu Yifei was about to go to dinner with Jiang Yan, when he was suddenly stunned, and then looked at a figure five or six meters away in front of the road, and then suspected that he had seen it wrong, blinked his beautiful big eyes, looked and looked, it was indeed Zhang Ran.
Liu Yifei, who was originally cloudy, suddenly smiled like a flower, hurriedly stepped forward, and shouted, "Master, you are finally here!" But in the blink of an eye, her face immediately sank again, and she turned her head to the side: "Master, you only came after my graduation ceremony is over, you don't talk much!"
Zhang Ran smiled and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Master ran into a little trouble and missed the plane, so he had to change flights, but Master came over directly as soon as he got off the plane." β
Zhang Ran has indeed just gotten off the plane, and he has been busy with financing in recent days. When I first filmed "Time and Space Warrior", I was blacklisted by the bank because of the guarantee for the completion of the film, and I encountered trouble with financing. However, with the help of Goldman Sachs, and Google's stock was unanimously optimistic, it finally got $1.2 billion in financing through equity pledge.
According to the agreement with Fox, Zhang Ran needs to invest $1 billion in 5 years, that is, $200 million per year, so after getting the $1.2 billion, Zhang Ran first invested $200 million in Fox, and then took $200 million to prepare for the acquisition of Summit Entertainment. Next, Zhang Ran took $400 million and invested it in the short-selling fund that John Paulson had just established.
John Paulson is the prototype of the novel and movie "The Big Short", because he made a profit of more than $10 billion from shorting in the subprime mortgage crisis, and is known as the empty god of Wall Street. John Paulson had a premonition at the end of '05 that the housing bubble was about to burst, and from the beginning of '06 he began to raise funds to open positions in funds that shorted the CDO, but no one believed his predictions, and he was an unknown on Wall Street, where he raised more than $100 million by the end of June. John Paulson is facing a huge piece of fat, but unfortunately his strength is too weak to take a small bite, and Zhang Ran's $400 million smashed in, it is like a rain from heaven, he can finally take a big bite.
Zhang Ran needs money to complete his strategic vision, and he needs a lot of money, and the upcoming global financial crisis is a shortcut for him to quickly complete the accumulation of funds.
As for the remaining $400 million, Zhang Ran bought Google shares, and by the end of the year, he would sell those shares and then let John Paulson build another short-selling fund.
Only then did Liu Yifei know why Zhang Ran's phone couldn't get through, so he didn't get angry, and pulled Zhang Ran's arm: "Master, you see I'm wearing a bachelor's uniform, let's take pictures together!"
"Okay, come on, pose for eggplant!"
The evening dinner of the 02 undergraduate class was not held in the cafeteria, but in the courtyard of Liu Yifei's villa in the form of a buffet. The whole scene was very warm, some toasted each other, and some people confessed on the spot.
Zhang Ran is not a teacher of level 02, so naturally he can't steal the limelight from others, so he watched quietly from the sidelines.
It didn't take long for Chen Jingfei to come over and invite Zhang Ran into his study. In the study, the two chatted back and forth, talking about the Olympics, finance, and some family life. Chen Jingfei was very polite to Zhang Ran in his words, and after chatting for a long time, he stopped calling Zhang Ran Teacher Zhang and called him brother and brother.
After chatting for a while, Chen Jingfei said: "Brother Zhang is a business wizard, and he has earned more than 10 billion in less than two years, and the speed at which you make money is about to catch up with the money printing machine." I rarely convince people in my life, but I am really convinced by Brother Zhang, if Brother Zhang has any way to make a fortune, I have to take care of my brother!"
Zhang Ran felt that this was probably the real purpose of today's event, and the celebration was just a faΓ§ade. Zhang Ran doesn't like Chen Jingfei, this person is extremely utilitarian, and even Liu Yifei is his pawn. It's just that thinking of the dilemma of Liu Yifei wearing a cottage dress when Chen Jingfei was in prison in the previous life, he couldn't ignore it as a master, and said lightly: "There must be an opportunity to make money, but it's not time now, if Boss Chen is interested, he can prepare the funds and hand over the money to me at the beginning of next year." β
Chen Jingfei was overjoyed: "I don't know what Brother Zhang plans to do, or the Internet?"
Zhang Ran naturally didn't tell Chen Jingfei about his plans, and said lightly: "It's not the Internet, but you don't have to know what to do, but don't worry, I will never let you lose this business." β
Chen Jingfei showed a hesitant look, and didn't even tell me what to do, what if he lost it? He felt that this matter should be pondered, or through Liu Yifei to see if he could find out something, anyway, he would not give him the money until the beginning of next year, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then we will decide." β
Zhang Ran came out of the study, and Liu Yifei, who was sitting on the sofa, jumped up, ran over and grabbed his arm and said, "Master, why have you talked for so long?" Then she pulled Zhang Ran to the side of the sofa and asked him to sit down: "Master, everyone wants to hear you talk about how you do YouTube, and how you cooperate with 20th Century Fox, you can tell us about it!"
Jiang Yan and Zhu Yawen have admired Zhang Ran very much, and Zhang Ran's recent series of actions have made Zhang Ran a god in their hearts, and they all said: "Yes, Teacher Zhang, tell us about it!"
"Actually, there's nothing to talk about, since you want to listen, then I'll just talk about it!" Zhang Ran couldn't shirk it, so he had to pick up some of the interesting things and talk about them, such as Wendi Deng, such as Anna Wintour.
In Zhang Ran's opinion, these things are all very interesting people, very interesting things, and there is nothing big about it, but for a group of students who have just graduated, these people Zhang Ran is talking about are god-like characters, and they are the world they must look up to, Liu Yifei and her classmates, both boys and girls, all looked at him with adoration on their faces.
Zhang Ran gave Liu Yifei and them the popular science of the Paris Cleon Yuanyuan Ball, glanced at the time, and found that it was almost nine o'clock, so he got up and said: "It's not early, I still have something to do today, I have a chance to talk about it in the future, you continue to play!"
When Liu Yifei heard Zhang Ran say this, he stood up and said, "Master, you wait for me, I have a gift for you!"
Soon, Liu Yifei came out of the room with a book: "Master, I'll send you!"
Liu Yifei followed Zhang Ran out of the door, and when she arrived at the garage, she handed the book in her hand to Zhang Ran: "Master, this is a gift for you!"
Zhang Ran took it and saw that it was a copy of "The Little Prince", which was copied by hand. Since last year, the students of Zhang Ran's class gave him a handwritten copy of "The Education of Love" at the "Graduation Song" party, many people have learned the same way, and have copied books as gifts, and Liu Yifei has also learned the same: "It took a lot of effort to copy such a book, right?"
Liu Yifei said proudly: "It took more than a month, and I wanted to copy the French version, but considering that you don't know French." There are too many Chinese versions, I don't know which one to choose, so I copied the English version, and I drew on every page!"
Zhang Ran had already received a similar gift once, but he was still a little moved in his heart: "Thank you, this is a very valuable gift, Master will collect it well!"
Liu Yifei immediately said: "Master, the book is for reading, you must read it!" Then she stretched out her hand in front of Zhang Ran: "Master, where is my gift?"
Zhang Ran was stunned: "What gift?"
Liu Yifei said: "My graduation gift?"
Zhang Ran shook his head with a smile and said: "You graduated from the 02 undergraduate class, and you haven't graduated from me yet!
Liu Yifei pouted and said, "Okay, but the master is a rich man now, and when I leave the school, he will give me a very expensive gift!"
Zhang Ran thought about it, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Then you work hard, and when you leave the school, the master will give you a city!"
Liu Yifei chuckled: "I don't believe it, Master is a big king, I actually gave me a bunch of newspapers on my eighteenth birthday!" She smiled and waved her hand at Zhang Ran: "Master, goodbye!"
Zhang Ran waved his hand, opened the car door and sat in, and then said to the assistant and driver Chen Hao: "Drive, go to Tiangong Chongcai!"
Chen Hao immediately started the car, drove out of the villa area, and drove towards the city.
The car drove to a fork in the road, and suddenly a dazzling light suddenly turned on, stabbing people's eyes painfully.
"Damn, is there such a thing as turning on the high beams??" Chen Hao scolded, squinting his eyes and dodging the dazzling lights.
Zhang Ran was used to being shaken by all kinds of lights on the movie set, and his adaptability was better, he turned his head sideways, and then saw the big truck speeding away, and immediately shouted: "Be careful!"
"I'll grass your uncle!" Chen Hao also saw the truck, and was immediately shocked, and almost rounded the steering wheel. It's just that with such a fast speed, coupled with such a close distance, how can you dodge.
The truck slammed into Zhang Ran's car, knocking them out and overturning them on the side of the road.
The violent impact almost shattered Zhang Ran's internal organs, and his head slammed into the glass beside him, he only felt that the sky was spinning, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.
