From the conversation just now, Scott learned that Lin Hong grew up in a small mountain village in China, and only left the village for Beijing a few years ago. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info with his experience, he naturally knows what the situation is like in the Chinese countryside.

In fact, he was very surprised by Lin Hong's words, because Lin Hong's demeanor and speech did not look like a poor boy from the countryside at all.

And, is education already so developed in rural China? Applying for a patent was bought out by AT&T for $7.8 million. Although in his eyes, the $7.8 million acquisition is too small to be small, but for ordinary people, it is a wealth that cannot be accumulated in several lifetimes.

Therefore, Scott did not believe Lin Hong's words very much.

Although the boy in front of him looks immature in many ways, he is already much more mature than many of his peers, and through the conversation just now, he also knows that the boy in front of him does have its own uniqueness.

His daughter, Phyllis, seemed to have feelings for the teenager in front of him that went beyond ordinary friendship, so he felt the need to get to know him on a deeper level.

So, he asked about Lin Hong's plans for the future.

However, Lin Hong's answer did not satisfy him very much.

Changing the world with technology?

This ideal may sound great, grandiose, and reasonable, but is it possible?

Scott is not a man who does not understand anything, and he certainly knows that several liberations of human productive forces have been caused by fundamental changes in the means of production driven by technology.

But how can such a thing be accomplished by the power of one person?

After hearing this, Scott just smiled coldly in his heart. After all, he is a wise adult, and he will not make any comments on the childish ideas of young people.

He instead asked what Lin Hong would do if he got the money.

From these details, he can slowly discern a person's character and even the heights they will be able to reach later.

Of course, Lin Hong knew that he was thinking like this, but he really thought about this question carefully. That was when he learned that the other party wanted to buy his patent for 5 million US dollars, and at that time he thought he could get more than 10 million yuan.

However, he didn't want to say what he really thought, because that idea could seem very funny in the eyes of a world giant like Scott.

"I'm sorry. I haven't really figured it out. Perhaps, let's save the bank and eat the interest first. Lin Hong shrugged. I'm still young. When I finish my studies, it's not too late to think about what I can do with the money. ”

Scott laughed dumbly. He saw it too. This kid doesn't seem to want to talk about this topic, after all, this belongs to a personal **, even if he is interested, it is not good to continue to ask.

At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Phyllis ran in.

"Stone ...... Brother, you're here! ”

Although her father did not understand Chinese, Phyllis immediately changed her name. Uncle Stone's name, she usually only calls it in private.

"Dad, let me give you a formal introduction. This is my friend, Stone, who is from China and is currently attending the Latin School in Boston. ”

"Hehe, we've been talking for a long time, and I already know all this." Scott stood up at this point, "Alright, Daddy is going to work, Phyllis, you can entertain Stong." ”

Lin Hong also stood up at this time, showing courtesy.

"Uncle Stone, I'm sorry, I thought you were going to arrive later." Phyllis stepped forward and whispered to Lin Hong, "How are you getting along with my father?" Did he embarrass you? ”

"Nope. Mr. Morgan was friendly. ”

"You should call Uncle Morgan." Phyllis corrected, and then she said with a happy face, "It seems that he is in a good mood today, and he is relatively satisfied with you, and he is willing to spend time chatting with you." ”

Then, Lin Hong said goodbye to Scott and walked out of the Morgan Building with Phyllis.

It's still early before the contract is signed, it's only noon, and it won't be signed until the afternoon. Phyllis pulled Lin Hong and began to stroll down Wall Street.

Although she grew up with this narrow street, which is only a third of a mile long and only 11 meters wide, she is familiar with it and has walked it countless times, but today she feels very different.

"Uncle Stone, what do you want to do most after you get the $7.8 million you get from selling the patent?" Phyllis took Lin Hong's hand, looked sideways at him and asked.

"Uh......" Lin Hong's expression froze, "You really deserve to be a father and daughter, and you are all interested in this issue." ”

"My dad asked you too?" Phyllis was surprised, "He must be trying to trick your words, trying to see something from your words, what a cunning!" Uncle Stone, how did you answer? ”

"I told him that I haven't thought about it yet, I'm still young, and I'll think about it when I finish school."

Phyllis burst out laughing when she heard this, and laughed wildly: "I didn't expect you to be more cunning than him!" ”

"After the patent is sold, I may divide the money into three parts, one part of which I keep for myself, and then think about what to do; Part of it is invested in my senior brother's martial arts hall, and the other is to repair the courtyard of the master in the countryside; The rest is left to my parents to see if they need it, maybe my parents can live together smoothly, but not necessarily, who knows? ”

After listening to his idea, Phyllis did not comment on it, but only nodded to indicate that she understood.

After walking past the huge bronze bull on the corner of Wall Street, they came to the door of the trust bank where they had last encountered robbers.

Lin Hong suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"How's that heist going? Did the robbers catch it? ”

Phyllis shook her head helplessly: "This case has become an unsolved case, and those robbers have left too few clues, as if they have evaporated from the world." ”

"Aren't you losing a lot?"

"It can't be helped. Fortunately, the insurance company also paid a certain amount of compensation, and the impact of this event on the whole of Wall Street was very large, and the security measures of all banks and institutions were completely revamped. ”

The reputational impact of this incident is greater than the material damage, for the Morgan consortium, the compensation is nothing, and the most important thing is that this incident has caused many people to have a sense of distrust in the bank, fearing that what they put in the bank will be robbed again.

Many people deposit in the bank not only gold, silver and diamonds, but also their own private things, which are often more important than money. So they care most about the security of the bank. This time, if it weren't for the fact that the robbers didn't know the value of those things, they just took some gold bars, jewelry, diamonds, and so on. The Morgan consortium is really hard to do.

But after this incident, those people have already turned things away. Banks want to restore their previous creditworthiness. It's not an easy task.

Credibility is a long-term process, but it only takes one break to destroy it. I want to restore my original credibility. It must be accumulated over a long period of time. It's always easier to destroy than to build.

"I remember among the robbers. There are a couple of very tech-savvy ones, have you checked the bank's servers? They might plant a virus or a Trojan horse into the server. Lin Hong felt the need to remind him that Phyllis was his friend, and that the bank was owned by her family.

"I should have checked them all, right? Everyone saw that they brought computers, and the bank manager should not be so stupid. But I haven't heard them talk about it. "Phyllis doesn't know much about this, but she also knows that her Uncle Stone is a skilled man, and since he said so, there must be a reason for him." I'll tell my dad about it. Uncle Stone, computer viruses and Trojan horses, can you really steal money from the bank? ”

"Theoretically possible. Of course, I've never actually done it before, so I don't have any experience with it. Lin Hong saw that Phyllis didn't attach much importance to it, so he had to emphasize it again, "Now some more secret Trojans are likely to be hidden in the process of the system, so it is difficult to find, you should let them check more, in short, it is better to be careful." ”

"Well, you're right! There can be no more big mistakes! Phyllis nodded heavily.

"Huh? What are those people doing? ”

After walking forward for a while, Lin Hong saw a lot of people standing in an open space in front of Wall Street, holding some cards in their hands, loudly saying something to people passing by.

"Those were protesters." Phyllis glanced at the people over there and said casually, "They think that the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States is too big, and the society is not fair to them, against the greed of Wall Street financiers and against the government, you know, you can often see such protest marches here, and they call their actions 'Occupy Wall Street'." ”

Phyllis was clearly used to this kind of scene.

Lin Hong saw it for the first time, and curiosity drove him over there.

I saw the huge signboards in the hands of those people with colorful slogans written on them, some with patterns.

"Refuse to be greedy!"

"Wall Street is responsible for all crises!"

"The sovereignty lies with the people!"

"Companies, banks, and governments should take responsibility and stop making us pay for your mistakes!"

……

The crowd of about twenty people who wore various colors of paint on their faces and wore strange, brightly colored costumes came to attract attention at a time.

Lin Hong walked up to a speaker, a middle-aged man with glasses, dressed more formally, looking like he was a teacher at a school.

He is now giving a speech to passers-by, saying how greedy Wall Street is, how the government not only does not punish them, but also does everything possible to defend it, and the major conglomerates control the American economy and hijack the American economy. In particular, he recounted how the Federal Reserve made bad decisions with random slaps on its head, and used the money printing machine to print dollars in large quantities, leading to frequent financial crises and rising unemployment...... And so on and so forth.

Lin Hong has been more or less exposed to many of the things they said, and in addition, he has taken courses in economics this semester, and he can more or less understand the financial principles involved.

Lin Hong knew for the first time that it turned out that Wall Street was actually not flawless, and it was not as beautiful as it seemed. (To be continued)
