Chapter 7 The "Maniac" at the Gate

The university's library always occupies an extremely important position, because it is one of the foundations of the university. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 For example, many universities in China are blindly expanding the number of books in their libraries, and the essence is missing because of the excessive pursuit of quantity, which is quite a bit of a waste of books.

According to Yamamoto, the library of Freie Universität Berlin has a collection of more than 1 million books, and more than 2 million books are in the library, totaling 8 million volumes.

The collection of nearly 10 million books can be called profound, after all, the collection of a top university like this is not all books that are eligible to be collected by it, and it needs to have a certain academic value to be included in the historical research value.

Now they are heading to the Linguistics Library, which was built in 1937 and reopened in '05.

The two entrances of the library are like the entrances of a spaceship, and when you enter the library, you will see three curved platforms that undulate like waves, which are full of streamlined beauty, and if you look down from above, they resemble the structure of a human brain.

It is said that the inside of this "Berlin Brain" is to imitate the internal structure of the human brain, which is quite original. Except for the entrance foyer, which has a bright yellow tone, the rest of the place is in gray and white tones, which is full of modern beauty.

The beauty of architecture comes from the wisdom of people, and what people see is the brilliance of the moment when the wisdom of the designer bursts out. Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh that the designers of the last century could design such a futuristic building, even today, it does not look backward at all.

Zhao Yan, who was carrying a camera, naturally did not forget to record the beauty in front of him, and he had already thought of the lines posted on the blog, "I entered the 'brain' of Berlin!" ”。

The two stopped all the way, and Yamamoto made a cameo tour guide, which was considered conscientious. Visiting the entire library, Zhao Yan invited Yamamoto to dine with him in order to express his gratitude, and the latter readily agreed.

The two planned to eat at a Japanese restaurant outside the university, and when they arrived at the gate, Zhao Yan found a young man in a straight suit standing at the gate, holding a sign with the words "raise funds" written in German and English.

Yamamoto seemed to notice Zhao Yan's curious look and said to him, "This is a madman. ”

It turned out that this young man was extremely famous throughout the Free University, and he was a student at the Faculty of Economics of the Free University, named Rodels Pies.

As he was about to graduate in his senior year, he gave up the opportunity to pursue a master's degree in economics and chose to devote himself to the financial industry. The reason why he is famous at Liberty University is the sign he is carrying.

This crazy young man, who wants to raise a million dollars and invest directly in the wave of world finance, can be called a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Because he was so young, there were no investors willing to give him a million dollars to operate, and he could only raise funds at his alma mater, but he received very little.

After listening to this, Lao Zhao suddenly became interested in this young man, but he didn't think about getting to know this young man, he just looked at him seriously.

The latter had obviously noticed the figures of the two, and looked at them suspiciously for a while, and there seemed to be some struggle in his eyes, so he decided to put down the sign that had been held high for a long time and walked towards the place where Zhao Yan was standing.

"Hello sir, I'm Roeders Piyes." Pierce's brief introduction to himself.

"Hello, my surname is Zhao, Chinese." Zhao Yan also said succinctly.

"Mr. Zhao, I don't know if you are willing to provide me with funds?" Pierce asked directly, with a youthful pride in his words, unwilling to bow his noble head even if he begged someone.

Zhao Yan didn't care, and asked an inconsistency question: "Have you eaten?" ”

"Huh? No. Pierce was stunned for a moment, then replied truthfully.

"Then let's have a meal together, although career is important, you can't skip meals just because you're young, it's irresponsible to yourself." Zhao Yan said with a smile.

Pierce hesitated for a moment and agreed, he felt that Zhao Yan was a potential investor and worth wasting a little time on him.

At a Japanese restaurant, the three of them sat on tatami mats, a rather private room, and the three of them waited for the dishes to be served, Zhao Yan and Yamamoto chatted in Japanese, and Pierce sat on the side and couldn't interject at all. Because he didn't understand Japanese, Zhao Yan didn't seem to pay attention to him at all.

Pierce regretted that he had agreed to the frivolous invitation, but he endured it, albeit with a bad look.

Yamamoto wonders why Zhao Yan invited this crazy young man, and Zhao Yan laughs and explains that he had a similar experience to Pierce when he was younger. When they started a company with their friends, they had no savings and shamelessly pulled investment everywhere, and the hardships were not as good as outsiders.

Seeing Pierce is like seeing the same stubbornness and pride as he used to be, and when he meets a young man who also has ideals and has the courage to put them into action, Zhao Yan feels that he should help him.

Of course, Zhao Yan would not throw a million dollars directly to a person he didn't know, so he decided to get to know this young man.

There are many ways to understand, such as his snub of Piyes, it seems that this young man's temperament is more impatient, and from the side, it is also a reflection of quick success, which is a common problem of young people, and most people will get rid of this problem after years of polishing.

"Mr. Zhao, if you don't have the intention of investing in me, then I will leave first." Pierce still didn't hold back, got up and said.

"No, no, I'm actually very interested in you, I didn't speak just now but it was just a test for you, it's a pity that you didn't pass." Zhao Yan said.

When Pierce heard this, the expression on his face was wonderful, he didn't expect it to be like this, recalling Zhao Yan's invitation and the snub just now, it seemed that it was really a test, but he actually gave up damn it!

However, Zhao Yan changed his words and said with a smile: "Although you didn't pass, I still have expectations for you, I just want to tell you that eagerness can't help you succeed, you have to learn to be patient before you achieve something, I hope you won't think I'm teasing you." ”

Pierce is not a person with a worrying IQ, on the contrary, he has a sharp mind, and his IQ definitely belongs to the high-level category, but he lacks sufficient social experience and experience.

"No, no, thank you, Mr. Zhao." Pierce humbly accepted the lesson and sat down again.

"Now we can talk." Zhao Yan nodded, quite satisfied with Piyes's statement, it is right to be arrogant, but you can't be proud not to listen to any of your advice, obviously Pierce did not disappoint him.

Pierce told Zhao Yan about his financial plan, and he planned to use 1 million US dollars to operate the gold futures market, which is now quite popular, by using 100 to 200 times leverage. This is Piyes's area of expertise, and various terms that Zhao Yan has never heard of pop up from time to time, but he didn't interrupt Piers's words, and kept listening with a smile.

In fact, Lao Zhao didn't understand anything in the end, who called him English but an entry level, and what Pierce said was still a financial field that he had never been involved in, more like listening to a book from heaven.

“…… This will bring us a lot of returns, so your investment will definitely be multiplied by it. At the end of Piyes's speech, it was the first time he had finished his plan in its entirety, which was a refreshing feeling.

He also felt Zhao Yan's respect for him, so he looked at Lao Zhao with an inquiring gaze.

"It's exciting, the prospects are wonderful, and the benefits are exciting." Zhao Yan commented and said.

Pierce was overjoyed, but Lao Zhao's words lifted his heart again.
