Chapter 4: I'm optimistic about you

"Hey, Mom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Liang Baoguang's voice is full of tiredness, as the so-called one day as a teacher and a father for life, accompanying seven fathers to stay in a holiday cottage of less than 100 square meters by the lake for a day, it feels like swimming from Boston to Waltham against the Charles River, "How is it in New York." ”

"Yo, I finally remembered to call my mother, you have been on school for a few days, and then you remembered to ask me how I was doing? Of course it's not good. The voice on the other end of the phone is very energetic when I hear it, and it inexplicably gives people a feeling of being energetic, "If you find a girlfriend, I have nothing to say, and if you don't find it, I can't even remember to call your wife, isn't it a bit too much?"

"Isn't that too much to do, and besides, you didn't take the initiative to call me. Liang Baoguang didn't believe that he was the only one like this, nine out of ten people he knew had no money to spend before they could afford to call his mother, for example, he picked up the phone today because he was short of money.

Yun Jingyi is the chief financial officer and CFO of the well-known NEE ****** Energy Inc. (NextEraEnergy Inc.), and she is one of the strongest women in the United States, because of the relationship between the work content of female CFOs and female CEOs, and the salary is often many times higher than that of CEOs. However, getting ten times the CEO's salary means that she has to do ten times the CEO's work, and she is so busy all day long that her feet don't touch the ground, and Yun Jingyi has to live in the office at the end of the fiscal year like this, and she just listens to her son's words as a joke, "Can you have anything at hand, do you have a house?"

"It's really a family thing, I recently shot a movie that has been started, but the production fee is almost to support the operation of the crew, I want to borrow it from you first. Liang Baoguang's face was a little red when he asked for money, after all, he was also in his twenties, and he would definitely be embarrassed to ask his mother for money again.

"What are you, you won't even call your mother to spend money for? Besides, if you talk to me about borrowing, can you repay it within a month?" The so-called borrowing is calculated on a daily basis, and the general repayment period will not exceed one month, just like a credit card, Yun Jingyi doesn't think that her son can repay the funds for a movie within a month, "It's not impossible to give you money, but you have to make it clear how to make a movie well, it's okay to charge a lot of money to soak horses, if I am pulled into the water by fox friends, I won't pay this unjust money." ”

"Why are you saying it so ugly, the heroine of this movie is one of our professors, how can I soak it. Liang Baoguang is very helpless, he doesn't look for a girlfriend every year, he is nagged every year, he is annoyed and unhappy to go to New York to live, in the past two years, Yun Jingyi has relented, and no longer forced him to bring his girlfriend to see her, but has become "Even if it's a boyfriend, bring one back to me first to see what it looks like."

"Tell me, you don't have to pay back the specific amount of money, as long as you come to New York to accompany me at Christmas. It's not that Yun Jingyi believes in Christianity and wants to help Jesus celebrate his birthday, but that on this day, the whole United States is on holiday, and she can't arrange overtime if she wants to, just to accompany her son to feel the holiday atmosphere.

"$100,000, I'll transfer it to you from the milk tea shop's books next month. Liang Baoguang opened a bubble tea shop, just south of Harvard Square on John F. Kennedy Avenue, and because the business was good, he had the confidence to say that he would pay the money back. Milk tea is stained with a tea word, so it looks very tall in Europe and the United States, and even Japan and South Korea, and Liang Baoguang's store milk tea is real milk and tea instead of powder boiling water, the taste is not necessarily better than the powder but it sells genuinely and is very popular.

Many people would argue that Harvard and MIT are both Cambridge and not Boston, but that doesn't happen to Liang because he's a student at the Business School, which is on the south bank of the Charles River. He was really entangled in the selection of the site, Boston is a big city, but there are many students in Cambridge City, and finally after thinking about it, he still opened the store on the North Shore, it turns out that milk tea is really the favorite of student girls, according to his statistics, more than seventy percent of the customers who consume in his store are female students, as for which school is not clear.

As soon as Liang Baoguang's words fell, Yun Jingyi on the other end of the phone screamed, "You bastard don't want to shoot that kind of thing, right?"

The initial A is a very elegant expression, A refers to Adult, and the word that is often put on the lips of Americans is the word that starts with the letter P. Liang Baoguang was stunned at the time, and said that he knew his son best as a mother, but now he believed in his son Mo Ruo's father more, "I'm so unbearable in your eyes, you want to shoot that kind of thing?"

"Then what kind of movie do you make, only 100,000 dollars?" Yun Jingyi didn't believe that making a movie only cost so much money.

"Of course, it's a low-cost fixing, and it was said that our professor is the starring role, and the female professor from Harvard is going to shoot that, Mom, your brain circuit frame is unique enough. "If you really shoot that kind of thing, it is estimated that it can directly make the headlines of the Boston Post, where is it still a headache for publicity, Liang Baoguang has not figured out how to launch the movie until now.

"No matter how low the cost is, it won't be 100,000 US dollars, right, when I don't understand anything?" As the CFO of a large company with a market value of nearly 60 billion US dollars, Yun Jingyi's annual income starts at 8 million, and the low cost in her eyes is the kind of tens of millions, and the big production must be calculated at least in 100 million.

"I've invested $100,000 in it, and the shooting cost is at least $200,000, so I've been able to have a good time, and the least trust between people is there?"

"Just tell me the truth, have you lost money playing stocks recently?" Yun Jingyi still didn't believe in making movies, but felt that her son needed money in other places, such as the stock market. In 2006, the U.S. economy has begun to decline, especially the real estate bubble is supported by the banking industry, once the foundation collapses will be an avalanche-like catastrophe, and at this time the chaos is obvious, "Don't play on it recently, something is going to happen." ”

It is a kind of atmosphere for students of the five major business schools to play stocks, and many of the behind-the-scenes pitchers who are known as the stealth stock gods are teachers and students of the five major business schools, and Harvard Business School, as the first business school to lead the trend, naturally rushes to the front. Liang Baoguang is different from most of his classmates, he doesn't like to play in the stock market very much, because he prefers to be a chess player rather than a chess piece.

After explaining a lot of things and going through the plot of the movie, Liang Baoguang finally persuaded Yun Jingyi to give him the money to continue the filming. It's still a lot of fun to spend Christmas with his mother, he left his homeland with his parents when he was a teenager, his parents have been living with his father when they are separated, and there are more opportunities to meet his mother during his study in the United States, but Yun Jingyi's work is too busy to meet and see each other is limited.

"Hey, why is it that you're alone by the lake, don't you think it's too cold here?" A room full of people were drinking, and John Reading didn't see Liang Baoguang in the cabin, so he came out to look for him, "It's good to have fun shooting, I know you have a very strong personality, and you want to be perfect in everything you do, but sometimes you still need some entertainment." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little quiet, I really didn't pay much attention to this movie, don't think about it, everyone should just come out for a different holiday, and when Christmas comes, there will be no chance to get together." "Eight people from different places, some of them want to go back to the west, some want to go back to Europe, and they won't go back to Boston until the winter break is over.

"Haha, I'm much more relieved to have your words, to be honest, it's quite stressful to be a leading actor for the first time. John Reading can be said to be a "young man", forty years old in the position of a professor at Harvard is definitely a new generation, but in front of Liang Baoguang, he still feels that his mentality is a little old, "Do you have any plans after filming this movie, do you want to go back to China or go on a road trip?"

"Let's play and then go back. Liang Baoguang shrugged indifferently.

"You're still the same, you don't care about anything, but at your age it's time to plan for the future, this is the advice of a teacher and a friend. John Reading not only admires Liang Baoguang's talent, but also likes Liang Baoguang's calm and indifferent temperament, but everything has a degree, too thin will look unenterprising, and a little deeper will look very "cynical".

"You're right, it's time to have a plan for my life. Liang Baoguang nodded, he had plans to make a plan for his life during this time, because before this he was just a popular study, and he felt that Harvard's business school was the most famous and entered here, but over the years, seeing his mother so busy that he had almost no leisure to enjoy life, he felt that it was not his desire to engage in a career in economic finance, "Maybe I am more suitable to be a brother artist, I will not open for three years, open for three years, and then usually go to the world to collect style." ”

"I think you're going to pick flowers all over the world. "John Redding, it's up to himself.

"Don't take everyone for yourself, Mr. Redding. Liang Baoguang shook his head, there are so many things to do in life, and it is incomprehensible for John Reading to love one thing and constantly change objects to do.

"Sooner or later, you'll be the same, trust me, I see potential in you. John Reading squeezed his eyes, he didn't say this casually, Liang Baoguang has a prominent appearance, a strong figure, and the most important thing is that he has an exotic style that no one else here has, the "market" is very large, but now he hasn't let go of his reserve, and when he puts it down in the future, it will become a legend, "I'm optimistic about you." ”
