Chapter 2 Integration

Back to the topic, Mike looked at the news of the Plaza Accord in the newspaper, which was actually very tangled, because a golden period of making money was so clearly placed in front of his eyes, but he couldn't do anything about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he was just an arms broker in his previous life, it does not mean that he does not care about the world economy, especially the financial market, because it is still very relevant to him.

In the arms business, there are only two kinds of hard currency used by the gangsters to buy arms, that is, gold and diamonds, and there are very few dollars, because they have no economy to speak of, they can't get so many dollars, in addition, there are some other precious jewelry that can also be used as trading gold.

As for those local currencies? The devil will collect that kind of waste paper-like thing.

The price of gold and diamonds is not static, although because they are all black gold and blood diamonds, the actual price may not even be half of the international market price, but after all, there are still fluctuations.

Therefore, it is also very necessary to learn some financial knowledge, and even in addition to finance, Mike is also proficient in jewelry appraisal.

So he knows very well that the current Japanese stock market is a money-making machine.

But there is no way, who made his current identity just a 15-year-old hard high school student, although compared to his peers in the United States, children in the United States are freer, but after all, they have to rely on their parents to eat, at most they do some symbolic housework to "earn" a little more pocket money, and his fixed pocket money, plus those "earned", is more than 100 dollars a month.

Of course, don't think that this number is very small, this is definitely a big number among peers, you must know that even in the 21st century, when the dollar is deciating, the pocket money of the vast majority of high school students in the United States is only one or two hundred dollars a month.

But it's only 1985, and although the U.S. economy has begun to decline by this time, and the dollar will soon depreciate sharply with the Plaza Accord, at least for now, the purchasing power of the $100 is still quite strong.

And Mike can have so much pocket money, thanks to having a dad who is a psychiatrist.

Doctors in the United States have always been an absolute high-paying profession, and psychiatrists are among the best.

And Mike's father, Jason Seaver, doesn't look like a tease in the TV series, but in the entire industry, he is quite famous, and has published papers in many famous professional magazines...... Of course, Mike only looked at the names of those papers, and he didn't know anything about the technical terms throughout, but it was enough to impress Mike with this cheap daddy.

So Jason Seaver's income is very high, which can be seen from the fact that he can afford to buy a house in Huntington.

Don't look at Huntington as a small town on Long Island, but housing prices are definitely among the best in the whole of the United States.

If nothing else, it's because Huntington, and indeed the whole of Long Island, is an absolutely rich area.

Every year, Business Week publishes a third to half of the 25 richest towns in the United States, and Huntington is one of them.

So there are a lot of rich people on Long Island, and Jason's customers are all these people.

Basically, Jason's annual income is about 200,000, which is definitely a very large number in 1985, which is why Seaver's family, only Jason works alone, but he can still live so comfortably in a wealthy area like Long Island.

However, this is of no use to Mike, the money is Jason's, it is impossible to give it to him, and he still only has the pitiful-looking $100 pocket money.

"Good morning Mike, what are you looking at?" Just as Mike was thinking, Jason also got up, walked into the small courtyard, and asked Mike, who was staring at the newspaper in a daze.

Jason is no stranger to Mike getting up early in the morning and sitting leisurely reading the newspaper and drinking coffee, because this situation has been going on for almost a month.

In fact, since the last car accident, he has noticed that the eldest son's temperament has changed a lot, and he and Maggie were quite worried about this, especially as a psychiatrist, and they were even more worried that Mike would be left with a psychological shadow because of the car accident.

However, this worry has gradually been put down with the observation of the majority of the month, because in his opinion, although his son has changed a lot, on the whole, it has changed for the better.

And compared to the previous Mike who often made them scared, they felt that the current Mike was simply too sensible.

Of course, Jason didn't suspect in his heart that this was probably an illusion created by this kid...... Originally, Mike's bear kid didn't do anything like this every time he made a mistake, but after only a week, he didn't doubt it, because Mike had never lasted three days when he did this kind of thing.

He and Maggie couldn't have imagined that under the body of their eldest son, a soul had been truly changed......

And even if Mike says this kind of thing himself, it is estimated that the couple will not believe it, and will only take him to see a psychiatrist...... Forehead...... Or add a little bit of work to Jason.

"Nothing, just a little economic news," Mike replied with a smile as he raised his head, then put the newspaper aside.

Jason didn't care when he heard this, what kind of economy can a 15-year-old child understand? He is more concerned with what he eats in the morning.

"Is there anything good to eat this morning?" Jason asked, walking into the kitchen.

"Milk oatmeal and egg crepes, I hope it suits your taste" Mike smiled and said, since he was discharged from the hospital, he began to return to the routine of his previous life, basically getting up and exercising every day, as a broker, it is not good to have a good physique, the opponents faced are elites like CIA Interpol, and at worst, they are old black armed elements who do not take human life seriously, and they have to be mixed in the cruel natural environment of the rainforest and the desert for a long time.

So in terms of military skills, the current Mike can be said to be not much worse than the average regular soldier, and in terms of survival skills, he is even a fight with those special forces...... Well, if you have a chance in the future, you can exchange your experience of survival in the wild with Bell, and now Bell seems to be a hairy child younger than himself.

However, because there is no suitable exercise equipment, he is now only doing the most basic physical exercises every morning, and this body is in the golden period of development, and it is not suitable for too high-intensity exercise.

But in the eyes of his family, he is now much more energetic than Mike before.

And after he finishes his workout, he still has time to make a good breakfast...... In fact, it is also a very simple Western-style breakfast, which was also cultivated when he lived alone in his previous life.

It's not that Mike can't cook Chinese food, but compared to simple Western food, Chinese food is a little more troublesome, and he has lived abroad for a long time in his previous life, which has also made him accustomed to eating Western-style food, and only when he is particularly happy, he will make a little Chinese food.

But since the first time Mike did this, he basically made breakfast every day, because the family thought that compared to the dark dishes made by Jason, Mike's breakfast was simply delicious, in the words of his mother Maggie, with Mike, she would not have to worry about the children's stomach problems when she was busy with work in the future.

And this is actually one of the reasons why the current Seaver family quickly accepted Mike's changes...... In this regard, Mike can only say that the hearts of this family are quite big, and they don't want to think about how Mike, a child who has never been in the kitchen, can suddenly make exquisite meals.

"What did you eat this morning?" Sister Carol, who is two years younger than Mike, and Ben, who is 9 years younger, also got up, and they asked the same questions as Jason.

"I made scrambled eggs" Jason couldn't help but amuse the two snack sellers when he saw the expectant eyes of them.

"Oh no......" the siblings let out a miserable howl.

"Haha, just kidding, it's Mike's egg crepes and cereal," Jason shrugged.

"Daddy......" The two siblings rolled their eyes speechlessly and went into the kitchen for breakfast.

"Oh, sorry, I have to go to the interview in a hurry, so I won't eat breakfast," Maggie said in a hurry, and although she got up early, she was obviously too late to eat breakfast because she spent most of her time on makeup.

"Mom, don't worry, I prepared a cake for you, you can eat it on the road, it's not good to have an empty stomach in the morning" Seeing Maggie in such a hurry, Mike hurriedly stopped when he saw this, and then took out a box of pre-prepared cakes from the kitchen and said, This is specially prepared after he has seen Maggie's ups and downs in the past few days.

"Oh my God, thank you so much, darling" Maggie was obviously surprised by Mike's attentiveness, giving Mike a big hug and several lip prints on his face.

Mike, who is not used to being treated so warmly, is quite helpless, but he does not dare to refuse, because in that case, he will definitely meet Maggie's "heartbroken" gaze.

Of course, Mike will never admit that in his heart, he actually enjoys this kind of mother-son relationship very much.

Mike, who had sent Maggie away, looked back to see his younger siblings staring at him with a desperate wisting gaze.

"Don't look at me like that, there's still one in the fridge, you can take it to school as a snack," Mike sighed weakly.

Hearing this, Carol and Ben cheered and rushed into the kitchen again.

"Ahem," Jason's cough rang to Mike's ears again.

"Won't forget your share, Daddy," Mike said as he looked at Jason and rolled his eyes.

"Hahahahaha, yes, that's great." Jason laughed dryly.

After breakfast, Mike had to go to school with his siblings, but before leaving, Mike was stopped by Jason and handed him two hundred dollars.

"What is this for?" Mike was a little puzzled.

"This is this month's breakfast fee, I've seen it, there are a lot of materials you bought yourself, since it's a family consumption, you can't spend your own money," Jason patted Mike on the shoulder and said.

"Then thank you" Mike who heard the words was not hypocritical, thanked him, and turned the money out, in fact, he was indeed quite short of money, the original Mike, but basically had no savings, and often had to borrow money from his younger brothers and sisters, if he hadn't been discharged from the hospital, he had only received a pocket money, he would have been exhausted.
