Chapter 4 Stealing Chickens and Rice (II)
As the sun sets, the southern end of Manhattan is bustling with tourists.
It is indeed full of tourists, this is Chinatown, and most of the people living in it are Chinese. The blonde, gray, red, and brown-haired whites, as well as the black-haired, were of course tourists.
Li Jiaming, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, led Nakamura, who was also dressed in the same attire, to the crowded Sichuan Restaurant, picked a position by the window on the street and sat down, and shouted in a half-baked Sichuan voice: "Sister, don't put pepper in boiled fish, don't put pepper in the pot meat, and then have a mushroom egg soup, or don't put pepper." โ
As soon as I heard this accent, I was from Fake Sichuan Province, and the waiter in Fake Sichuan Province was also happy, and said in an authentic fake Sichuan provincial dialect: "Don't put peppercorns, what Sichuan restaurant are you coming to?" โ
"Eat a spicy taste, don't think I don't know, you guys are authentic fake Sichuan cuisine. The foreign devil is almost the same, and I am far from it! โ
The accent was a little familiar and a little weird, and the chubby waiter leaned over and said uncertainly, "Old watch?" โ
As soon as I heard this accent, it was from Hunan Province, and Li Jiaming said in a neighboring county accent: "Pingjiang, what about you?" โ
"People from the mountains, this girl from Shashi! This one too? โ
"There are the Great Japanese Imperial Army, Nakamura-kun, the big flower girl?"
Nakamura, who had a bad face, hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Li ใใ, ไฝใงใใ." โ
As soon as he heard the sound of the fish, the waiter was curious: "Fellow, your subordinates?" โ
"It's still a provincial city, it's not as good as me, a mountain person. Hurry, hungry. โ
Li Jiaming ridiculed the fake fellow, motioned for Nakamura to sit down, reached out to pick up the teapot and poured tea for the two, and joked: "Nakamura-kun, be happy." I'll give you a German proverb, 'The optimist looks up at the sky, so he falls and bruises all over his body; The pessimist looks down at the road and therefore goes in the wrong direction; The realizer looks ahead, so adjust the route according to the goal'. โ
"Hey!"
Nakamura bowed deeply again, and the waiter was stunned for a moment, this fellow has the ability to raise a Japanese dog. But Nakamura doesn't think he's Li Jiaming's dog, he thinks he's the boss's samurai, and the boss can lead him to the pinnacle of success, although today the boss may have made a big mistake.
What's so about it? How many people can be so calm when a billion dollars could be lost? This is the great boss, who can enjoy the joy of success and can also bear the pain of failure!
Bullshit!
Li Jiaming, who regretted that he wanted to hit the wall, couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, if he listened to others' persuasion, why not put 1.2 billion green dollars on a broken ship that could sink at any time.
Damn, people are not as good as heaven!
He stepped in sideways and forcibly suppressed Qualcomm's stock price to less than 10 billion, but he didn't expect to make Owen, who had just made a comeback. Jacobs's old boy suffered a stroke and was rushed to the Mayo Clinic for emergency treatment.
Those Wall Street kings/bastards must have heard the rumors, and took advantage of the inside story that listed companies must disclose news 24 hours a day, and threw out stocks that might become garbage, just so that their unjust boss helped them share the risk of 1.2 billion.
People are not as good as heaven, Li Jiaming, who regrets it, can only think like this. However, he did win and afford to lose, and if he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is today, and he collapsed as early as when Sohu's second financing failed.
After talking and laughing, Li Jiaming put ten dollars on the plate of the fake fellow. The meal was nine dollars for two dishes and one soup, and the remaining dollar was a tip for her.
Hehe, the 1.2 billion that may become garbage, if you eat this kind of sumptuous dinner, you can eat 120 million meals, how many years do you have to eat?
110,000 years, or 109,000 years?
"Fellow, which line of work do you do? This line? โ
The gesture is a phone call, which means stockbroker, and Li Jiaming funnily pressed the little thumb back of the fake fellow, leaving only a chubby thumb.
"What do you mean?"
"This Jap got a master's degree in Columbia, a doctorate from Stanford, and my brother is a high-tech guy!"
"Wow, Doctor!"
The fat girl hurriedly begged: "Fellow, take me with you?" โ
This is really not good, this kid can even speak English with a mouthful of chili peppers, and it is estimated that he was smuggled to work as a black worker. Li Jiaming, who is 1.86 meters tall, stood up, patted the fat head that was only full of his armpits, and encouraged: "Sister, go to NYU to get a bachelor first." โ
"Really?"
What's so deceiving?
"I have a bachelor's degree, Hunan University! I studied for a master's degree at MIT and graduated in the first half of last year in electrical automation engineering. โ
Well? With such a high degree of education, can you not know yourself?
Li Jiaming looked at the fat girl suspiciously, and when she opened her mouth, she said: "I know you, Li Jiaming, a ninety-sixth grade economics major at Peking University, known as Yanyuan's crazy student, and the most popular economist in China!" Also, you fought with someone in order to rob the girl, and you also dumped Zhao Wei! โ
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? This kid is at most eighteen or nineteen years old, and he has graduated from all the master's degrees of MIT?
Seeing that she couldn't be deceived, the little girl said happily: "Lie to you, I want to be admitted to college, and I still run to the United States?"
"Hehe, I said too, MIT's master's degree, how can you come to work in such a small restaurant?"
"However, you are also so stingy, why don't you also be the 'light of the Chinese', just tip a dollar? I heard them say, you used to come here and only give one dollar, okay? โ
Wow, I met a real Hunan girl, very spicy.
"Sister, 10% of the tip is the rule, there are no rules, you don't have a circle, understand?"
It is rare to meet half a fellow countryman, and it is even more rare to dare to come to the United States to break into the world at a young age, Li Jiaming does not have the habit of giving people his own business cards casually, but he reached out and asked Nakamura for a business card, and put it lightly on people's fat paws.
"Sister, go to New York University to get a diploma. It's not easy to come out, don't just think about making some dollars! โ
"Oh, can I find you something?"
Li Jiaming shook his head and denied: "No, unless it is a natural or man-made disaster, birth, old age, sickness and death." Remember, it's better to rely on yourself than on the sky! Gone, I hope I won't see you here next time. โ
The two of them went out of the restaurant, and there were more tourists on the street, and before they had walked a few steps, the half of the fellow rushed out with a young man just now.
"Fellow countryman, he is NYU's master, or your Yuanzhou!"
It's true? Can you still meet the deceased in another country? There is a fellow from Yuanzhou in New York, how could he not know?
Li Jiaming looked at the young man in a suit and leather shoes, Bai Jing and Sven also put on a pair of gold-wire glasses, which did not match this fat fellow at all, and asked a few words in the same half-baked Yuanzhou dialect, and said curiously: "Quanbao, NYU's master works in a restaurant?" โ
When he met Li Kui, Li Ghost didn't dare to blow it indiscriminately, Zhang Quanbao hurriedly explained: "Hehe, I'm not actually from Yuanzhou, I interned at Yuanzhou Construction Machinery Factory in my senior year, and I can speak some Yuanzhou dialect." Just pretend to be your fellow braggadoc to brag. I'm a stock market analyst at KKR Group, and I used to work here when I was a student at NYU. The restaurant belonged to Yu Yan's uncle and is now inherited by her father. โ
Gold Collar! Or is Robert a company? It's no wonder that it is fate to meet a compatriot who has worked in his hometown, Li Jiaming invited: "Do you have time?" Walking together? โ
"Yes, I'll take the bag".
The two waited for a while, and Zhang Quanbao ran out with his briefcase and followed Li Jiaming and Nakamura in the direction of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. When I got out of the bustling Chinatown, the surroundings suddenly became much more deserted. In fact, except for Times Square and Fifth Avenue in New York at night, the rest of the places are very deserted, and the security is not very good, especially in Chinatown. It's still dusk, and if it's past nine o'clock in the evening, all that's left is ghosts.
Zhang Quanbao, who was familiar with New York, hurriedly walked a few steps to stop a taxi, but Nakamura, who was one step behind Li Jiaming, made a gesture from a distance, and a black Lincoln and two black Cadillacs drove over quietly and stopped in front of the three of them.
You can usually be a low-key person, but you must not be a white Arowana suit, especially in New York, where you are not familiar with life, you can avoid a lot of trouble by talking about pomp and circumstance. This is also one of the reasons why Nakamura is very admired by Li Jiaming, this old boy knows what it means to 'the son of a daughter does not sit in the hall', unlike Kyle, who puts a pistol in the glove compartment of a sports car, showing that he is a real Texas cowboy.
The bodyguard provided by the Waldorf Astoria Hotel opened the car door for Li Jiaming, and after he sat in, he handed a cigarette to the compatriot and asked, "Quanbao, what type of stocks do you usually analyze?" โ
If you don't smoke, you have to smoke this cigarette with you, Zhang Quanbao, who was seated, hurriedly took the cigarette, thanked the ignition, and said respectfully: "It's mainly high-tech, my undergraduate is electrical engineering and automation, after getting a master's degree, I don't think it's much fun, and I went to study finance again." โ
It's not that I don't like it, but I feel that there is no future, and I don't have a fast financial future, Li Jiaming, who knew the other party's nonsense, smiled and continued to ask: "Did you read Qualcomm's disk today?" What do you think the future holds? โ
"Chance, I think it's a chance to buy the bottom. Li Dong, the sudden collapse of Qualcomm, there may be malicious shorting, but it does not seem to be the handiwork of competitors.
In the long run, CDMA will inevitably win. Qualcomm is different from other public companies in that they have weighted voting rights, and the voting rights of the company are concentrated in the hands of the seven founders. As long as they can find new cash flow, they don't have to worry about the stock price at all.
Therefore, I judge that when Qualcomm falls to the lowest, there will definitely be investment institutions to buy the bottom. And in Qualcomm's most difficult time, the camp is indeed very strong, but investors will definitely be optimistic about Qualcomm's future and are willing to bet heavily on it. Mr. Li, the chip is a system engineering, not a genius can succeed with a pat on the head, Owen's stroke will certainly have an impact, but I think the impact may not be so great. โ
Talent!
It's a pity that until the car arrived at the hotel, Li Jiaming didn't open his mouth to solicit him, but only mentioned his relationship with Robert. Zhang Quanbao can see the future trend, and an M&A fund company like KKR Group can't see it? Keep this line, maybe you can use it later.
"Full protection, whether you are close to your hometown or not, if you have difficulties in the future, call Nakamura."
"Yes", Zhang Quanbao, who understood, was overjoyed, and hurriedly took Nakamura's business card with both hands, preparing to resign immediately after returning to the company tomorrow to catch up with the VP. How many times is it rare to fight in life, when will you not fight at this time?
