After a lunch, the staff who helped Shu Neem go through the procedures for selling the car and transferring the ownership looked up to see that it was her again. Twice in and out of the DMV in one day, selling and buying, and moving quickly.

"Your used car business is quite hot", the staff joked.

"Don't you quit your job, by the way, open up a second career, if this business is going to be good, I will be a second-hand car broker," Shu said half-truthfully.

"Then you're going to have to take a good look at it," the staff laughed.

After a transfer, and then went through the process again, Shu Neem was familiar with it, saving the staff a lot of tongue.

After the transfer, Qian Jin gave the GT car key to Shu Neem, "Na, it's yours"

Shu Neem smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Happiness came too suddenly, let me go quietly!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to have fun - our company's publicity, if you are free, help check it, the last time you planned the promotion reception was very good"

"Why do I feel like I'm in a trap?"

"Haven't you heard of no business and no traitor?"

"Mr. Qian, do you know what price the industry asks me for? Well, I'll give you the rest of the money, alas, bad luck! The maintenance fee of the Rolls man can only mortgage the house."

"Come less, what are you pretending to be! Can I treat you badly, but you're really unlucky, that Rolls-Royce Phantom is a custom model, and the repair cost is estimated to be so expensive that it will make you vomit blood."

Listening to Qian Jin's words, Shu Neem immediately declined, "I owe a lot of debts, my heart is so tired, God, take me away!" ”

"You have been called by the Lord, who is the treat?"

"I just wanted to praise you for your righteousness", Shu Neem was weighed down by a huge debt, and said weakly: "It's time for dinner, let's eat something to make up for it first, and then we have the strength to jump in the club."

Qian Jin made the final decision, "Let's eat kaiseki cuisine"

"Huai-you were sent by the Rouse man to pit me, one race and one is expensive, can we eat some cheap bowls?"

"Look at your poor sour, I'm in for a treat, you can eat with confidence, the one I took you to is the highest in kaiseki cuisine, the taste, environment, service, all first-rate, let's go to estimate that we have to wait for an hour, you will know what it means to eat without getting tired of eating!"

Shu Neem was not interested, "When did the dishes of the foot basin country have such a sense of zài, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"Do you have a grudge against food? The boss is Chinese, restraint, indignant youth! ”

Presumably the wealthy behave in a similar way, and Gao Min and his American friend Joseph Pine came to this Japanese courtyard for a meal first.

“f.i-mf.ithinkit-fintheworld”

Joseph raved about Japanese cuisine and enthusiastically built yì gaomin to eat sashimi with wasabi.

“that’！”

Gao Min refused, firmly stating that his stomach preferred Chinese food.

Joseph complained that Chinese food was too greasy — when he and Gao Min started their business in New York, they often ordered takeout from small restaurants in Chinatown, and the improved American Chinese food spoiled Joseph's appetite, especially the sweet and sour tenderloin and kung pao chicken, which made him feel "ach" just thinking about it.

"Joe, you haven't tasted authentic Chinese food at all, there are eight major cuisines in China, among which Cantonese cuisine is comparable to French cuisine overseas, but it's not authentic enough, you came to China this time, let me do my landlord's friendship, take you to appreciate the wonders of Chinese cuisine, and then you will find 'd'"

Joseph loves Japanese food, but he marries a Chinese wife, and his life is full of fascinating contrasts.

This contrast is also reflected in the schools of Cambridge, on the west bank of the Charles River, where two world-renowned universities are located, Harvard, the eldest of the Ivy League, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the best of the polytechnic universities.

Harvard and MIT have a centuries-old history of blackening each other, and Joseph, who was born at Harvard Business School, naturally continued this glorious tradition, believing that the students of the neighboring school were only arithmetic monkeysintraining and boring four-eyed polytechnic houses, and that the future Harvard Business School-trained business leaders could take over MIT graduates as employees.

However, this kind of conceit and arrogance was reined after hearing about Gao Min's deeds, Joseph's mentor took the entrepreneurial history of an Asian student at MIT as a case study, "He is younger than you, but he has already obtained a math R, and is currently studying for a PhD in computer science, like the inherent impression of Oriental people here, they prefer science and engineering, all of them are reading machines, but this is not the point I want to talk about, I need you to think about a question, this smart Oriental man, did he succeed or failed in entrepreneurship?" ”

"Let me add that Steve Jobs was not the only founder of the company who was kicked out of Silicon Valley, Gao Min developed an intelligent image processing system, he and his partner applied for a patent, and it was logical to set up a company in Silicon Valley, investors flocked to him, and his stake was diluted. Later, because of the conflict between technology-led and market-led business philosophy, he and the board of directors broke out conflicts, partners and investors teamed up to kick him out, okay, I want to ask you a question, if you face the same dilemma, how will you choose, whether to hand over the management rights, take a false position, wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, or sell the shares and start anew? ”

To this day, Joseph has forgotten his stated opinion on the paper handed to his tutor, and his memory is especially vivid when he chased his tutor into the office after class and asked, what choice did the unfortunate Oriental man make?

The mentor smoked a cigar, swallowed the clouds, and squinted his eyes pleasantly, "Let the technology maniac compromise with the market, Jobs can't do it, and Gao Min can't do it - he feels that he is being played by capital, so he intends to be the one who controls capital...... By the way, he set up a fund, I invested a small amount of money, and he gave me a return that far exceeded my prediction! ”

"Do you know him?"

"Harvard gave him an offer, but unfortunately he chose MIT"

Joseph's heart was pounding, he had a feeling that the opportunity had come, he ran all the way into MIT like a madman, and found Gao Min, to his surprise, Gao Min was slender and extraordinary, which was very different from the image of a pale nerd with blank eyes, but there was still a trace of childishness between his eyebrows...... The legendary prodigy, who went to the United States at the age of 15 to study MIT mathematics, got a degree in mathematics at the age of 18, and started a company at the age of 20.

"Why don't you set up an investment company to be a hedge fund and play big! Hello, I'm Joseph Pyne, self-nominate as your r! ”

Dark material capital (DMC) was formally established under a joking invitation, with a registered capital of 30 million US dollars, until Gao Min returned to China, DMC sat on 10 billion assets under management, and the annual performance has been stable more than 30%, the outside world attributed DMC's remarkable achievements to Joseph Pine, who has a high exposure rate, in the eyes of investors, Gao Min hidden behind is the helm of DMC, and his extraordinary investment talent and skills make DMC watch Xiàn good, and the growth is amazing.

Rcapital's pioneering time, wanton, frivolous, fearless in the midst of storms and twists and turns, harvesting money, earning reputation, and bringing some of the brightest minds in the country under their command, think about it, it's awesome!

Joseph reminisces, "It was the best of days, we could hear the money coming in every day, we worked with passion, and we celebrated like crazy!" ”

"Joe, do you regret ending DMC's investment management business in the United States?"

"ver- I just miss the time when I fought side by side with you, to be honest, in the face of success, I was a little lost, caught in the illusion of the American dream, flowers, applause, sought-after, pies, and the courteous flattery of the beauties, this qiē made me flutter, so much so that I neglected the family, my son Roy had acute leukemia, and he walked in pain, you know, when no amount of money could save my son's life, I was drunk on the head and sobered up all of a suddenh- I couldn't be arrogant enough to think that money could solve anything, so at the time I thought, it's time to put an end to it. Nancy and I set up a charitable foundation to devote ourselves to charity, I am not a good person, I just want to do something good for my poor son, and hope that his soul will rest in heaven! ”

Gao Min poured Joseph a glass of sake and adjusted the somewhat sentimental atmosphere, "Nancy sent a devout Christian across the ocean to worship the Bodhisattva, I am surprised that you would agree"

"After losing Roy, Nancy and I both wanted to have another baby, but, an ectopic pregnancy, a miscarriage, we are all desperate, I don't know if this is a punishment, the child has nothing to do with us, but Nancy is innocent, she has the right to be a mother, I don't want her to suffer, said, honey, we can go and adopt a child, but Nancy said, give her one last chance, artificial insemination, if it still fails, she will accept her fate! My mother-in-law said that the Guanyin of the South China Sea in China is a send-off mother, and asked me to pray for an heir. I'm willing to do anything for my wife! ”

Gao Min's mobile phone vibrate, and after looking at the caller ID, he answered, "Long time no see, are you okay?" joe？ Across from me, you really ought to hear his confession of love for you, what?' S.ok, I'll listen to him instead"

Joseph took the phone and hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "Honey, how can it be sweet words, that is the true feeling of the heart, worship the South China Sea Guanyin?" Don't worry, Gao will accompany me to Putuo Mountain - arrange a date for Gao? Don't worry about it, my dear, Gao and money are married, this kind of person doesn't need a family! ”

Gao Min smiled, "Sounds like you know yourself better than I do."

"Do you want to pack your bags and fly to New York on a date with the so-called socialite that Nancy arranged? Believe me, there is no good one, all of them are nuggets with beautiful faces, if you become a poor bastard, don't expect her to be with you through thick and thin, she will kick you as soon as possible, and quickly catch up with another brainless Kaizi! I've seen this kind of thing a lot, and if you go to a tavern near Wall Street, you'll hear a dozen of similar tragic stories – and of course, she's more likely to introduce you to 'wonderful ladies', doctors, teachers, and noble professions, who, according to the Chinese understanding, are fit to marry and be wives! ”

"Thank you for your kind reminder, I have no plans to get married for the time being"

"Look, I'm right, mrgao was born for money, and he is suitable to be a lone ranger"

Gao Min raised his wine cup, "Come, long live understanding!" ”

The two clinked glasses and took a sip.

The sake is soft and has a long aftertaste, and Joseph's iron-gray eyes are intoxicated, and he will be especially honest when he is slightly drunk.

"Although I am not reconciled, I still admit it, in the hedge fund industry, you are more talented than me, you are firm, rational, calm, only care about stock price fluctuations, not confused by the wind and grass of the outside world, and conduct high-frequency hedging transactions like engaging in scientific research. I can't, I care about the fundamentals and intrinsic value of stocks, any news from Wall Street makes me panic like a frightened bird, afraid that I will make a mistake and have nothing overnight, even in the best days, I can't sleep well, now it's okay, the stress is gone, and the insomnia is not cured by medicine"

When old friends reunite, Gao Min plays more of the role of a listener, just like the role division when the two work together, Joseph has the elite temperament cultivated by Harvard Business School, acts in a high-profile manner, accepts news media propaganda reports and interviews, and maintains high exposure to bring prestige and benefits to dark material capital, which can be said to be the best image spokesperson for DMC.

Gao Min is low-key and calm, rigorous and pragmatic, he is the pioneer who led DMC to kill all sides in the global stock market, and he is also a paranoid and demanding risk controller, he avoids the media and hides from people's sight, just like the original intention of the establishment of dark matter capital, you can't see us, but we are everywhere.

Joseph suddenly remembered something, snapped his chopsticks, "By the way, a while ago, Nancy met your old partner and his wife at a charity dinner hosted by a state government, Nancy chatted with them for a few words, and heard that they have a pair of children who seem to be very happy...... ST, can't you forget your ex-fiancée?! ”

“,shedumpedyou!”

On Wall Street, Gao Min reaped glory, but in Silicon Valley, California, it was an out-and-out joke, betrayed by his partner, kicked out of the company, and his once engaged girlfriend and partner got together, openly went in and out of social occasions, and frequently showed affection in a high-profile manner.

The past is unbearable, and the green clouds cover the top.

Gao Min pinched the wine cup, his eyes flashed, a smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "I look like a man trapped in love?" ”

Joseph examines Gao Min carefully, he is calm, he never loses his temper, he never loses his fighting spirit and confidence in the worst times, since he met him, Joseph has hardly seen him in a disadvantaged manner, what a terrible guy.

"Well, when I didn't mention it - then we went to the bar, the noisy kind, the sound was roaring, people were rubbing shoulders, I liked that feeling, and then I got drunk, I needed agave, the sake was too fat and powdery, it didn't bring energy!"

"Why don't you switch to a recreational way, the kind that is good for the body and mind, playing golf, fishing"

"Golf? Fishing? It's too late to play when I'm eighty. Let's go, buddy, you need some thrilling activities! ”

"I think Nancy must have doubts about this"

"There is a famous saying in China, if you will be outside, the king's order will not be affected"

“let’sgo”
