Chapter 212: Two Macarons
"I also understand that hiring a professional manager can save a lot of work, but I want to do it myself at the beginning of this time, otherwise it will be a lot less fun. ”
Han Xuan took a few newspapers and sat at the round table by the window, pulled down the blinds to block the sun, and said.
There is only one convenience store like this, Brown University, which used to be bought at an off-campus Walmart, and since it opened in the first half of the year, it has earned more than $14,000 a month, which is very profitable.
When the franchise store quota is auctioned, the reference basis for the average monthly income of each store is 7,000 yuan, which is the number obtained by dividing it by half, because there are many people in the university, and not all stores can achieve this profit.
Shake open the newspaper to read the news, and find a piece of what you want to see on the social page.
The headline reads that housing prices in New York are unusually volatile, and more than 30 new houses were sold yesterday, with a maximum increase of 17%, and a reporter from the New York Times warned that it is suspected that housing prices will continue to rise in the near future.
Han Xuan chuckled, it's just an appetizer now, and he couldn't sit still as soon as he called Donald Trump, and he talked to him on the phone last night, knowing that he had contacted several other local real estate companies, and agreed to increase the house price slightly at the same time.
"Isn't it stupid that the house in New York can't be sold, and the price will rise again?" Gabriel woke up from a nap and sat down next to Han Xuan with a cup of coffee.
"If I had a house as big as yours and the same location, and I sold it for $1 million, would you sell it for $80?"
"Of course not!"
New Yorkers also think so, and it may not be effective at the moment, and some people will not be able to sit still when housing prices continue to rise.
They think, if I buy it now and sell it when the price is high, won't it make money? Others were planning to buy a house. Seeing that the house price has been rising, I will hurry up and make a move, and it is acceptable to buy now, and I am worried about what to do if I can't afford to buy it if it continues to rise.
Like stocks in the stock market, the bull market has risen, and the more investors have participated, and the price of land in New York has stabilized in this range and fluctuated slightly for more than a decade. It was originally a powder keg, but this time Donald just threw a match into it, especially with so many real estate developers involved, who will help raise housing prices and take advantage of the opportunity to make money.
The New York government will only ignore it when it knows about it, because the property market can drive economic growth, allow residents to spend money out of their pockets, and revitalize countless surrounding industries.
The poor at the bottom of the society cannot afford to buy a house in the first place, and it has little to do with them, but the price of rental housing has risen. When the economy recovers, wages will also rise, and jobs will increase, which can make up for some of the losses. ”
"How does it sound like inflation, but it's just a little bit of a price increase, so many things, you spend so much effort, what can you make by rising prices?" asked Gabriel.
"I understand it too well.
In primitive societies, human beings bartered things, and this is the most infallible way. Later came the advent of money, which was used to measure the value of goods. Then it is confusing, saying that the economy is rising, and prices are also rising, but in fact, the living standards of the country's residents have remained unchanged.
Foreigners are unlucky when they come, they measure it differently than the dollar, and the United States says that my economy is good. So my currency should be worth a lot of money, and it is the same thing, but it is more expensive than what he bought from his own country, and he plundered the wealth from it to enrich his economy.
This money can buy things in other countries. After a little processing, they will sell it back at a high price, plunder it again, and enjoy the fruits of other countries' labor at the middle price, so that countries will vigorously develop their economies.
One day when it reverts to barter, you can't just say that you can exchange one Merino sheep for my two Merino sheep, or the global currency is unified, and naturally there will be nothing to plunder, and whoever works harder will get more.
But that's just a dream, and the economy will still return to its original state if it develops, and people are like that.
My money is in the United States, and the United States has developed and this money is worth it, and I used to buy a macaron from France for a dollar, and then I could buy two for a dollar, and earn one for nothing.
If you go to France with the money you earn in the United States, you can get more, and you can hardly feel the changes in the United States all the time, but the economy is really developing.
This rise in housing prices was only pushed by me in advance, otherwise the hot money flowing back from the Fed's interest rate hike into the stock market can also drive the economy. ”
Owen came over with a paper bag and said, "The sandwich is ready, can you eat that much alone?"
"I brought it to my friend, I left first, he should be in a hurry. Han Xuan shook his hand and said.
Gabriel seemed to understand: "One macaron, two macarons." ”
"There are no macarons, there is still some toast left, and I plan to keep it for myself. Owen heard and went to the kitchen to get the plate and put it in front of him.
Carrying the bag and shaking it home, looking down at the cobblestone ground, walking forward in a daze, I didn't think about this connection before, and now I said to myself: "Individual profits are small, and the state earns most of the profits through taxes, investing in social welfare, infrastructure construction, and military spending...... I am encouraging the arrogance of US imperialism!"
Han Xuan rolled his eyes.
When I opened the door and went upstairs, I saw Harris lying in front of the computer, thinking that it was no wonder that he was so young and short-sighted for thousands of degrees, and accidentally found that the screen was hanging on the home page of the Netscape-Navigator browser, and mocked: "Mr. Hacker, didn't you say that you don't use a browser?"
"Why didn't you make a sound when you came in, it scared me to death. Harris shook and patted his chest.
took the cheese sandwich and said: "Search for information or they are useful, I found a fun one, remember to tell you the kind of phone yellow pages in the catalog, found the same as it, but a little problematic." ”
"What's the problem?"
"It's only a few tens of thousands of searches a day, but it's so unstable that it seems to be on the verge of collapsing, you see. ”?
Han Xuan sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the screen, loading the search engine homepage picture almost millimeter by millimeter.
"I found it on the Stanford campus network, and someone recommended it to be very useful.
Hacked port checked.,The architecture is really good.,It's just too simple.,It's so simple that I can make it in half an hour.,Well, if there's a server.。
They add URLs manually, which is a humanoid spider bot, but the database system is interesting, dividing the site into different categories and then subclassifying them again. ”
Harris casually closed the web page, pressed a button and said: "I'm very curious about the maker, by the way, hacked his homepage, someone is so stupid that the website name and the homepage use the same name, he is still you Chinese, from the treasure island immigrant." ”
Han Xuan saw the name on the homepage, and his left eyebrows curled: "Jerry-Yang, Yang Zhiyuan and David's www website?"
Shaking his head funny, he didn't expect Yang Zhiyuan to start a website before Yahoo, and he still used such a name, and continued: "Learn from the experience, don't use all their methods, I will recruit a group of people to come over recently, you work for me, and give you 3,000 US dollars a month." ”
"It's just 3,000? There are more than so many people sweeping the streets, you must know that an Intel Pentium processor costs more than 500 dollars, and I have eight of them!"
"That's four thousand, and if you don't have it, Mr. Anthony, help me get in touch with Stanford University and find a Chinese named Jerry-Yang. ”
"Hey, hey, don't look for him, four thousand!" )
