Chapter 079: George's Family

Put the second watch on the shelves, please ask for a monthly pass!!

Because the activity that the delegation will arrange next week is to experience American family life and learning, that is, 42 students will be assigned to 42 American families with children with middle school students, and they will live and study with them for a week, experience the difference between American family life and Chinese family life, and experience the difference between American middle school learning and China. The Jersey City Government has already selected 42 families from more than 800 families who have signed up, and they will hold a meeting in the afternoon, and then they will come to their homes and live with them for a week starting this evening.

The meeting was held in the large conference room on the third floor of Wilson's International Restaurant, and began with a very humorous speech by the mayor of Jersey City. Then there was a warm congratulatory speech from Secretary Tang, the head of the Chinese delegation, but the fly in the ointment was that Secretary Tang could not memorize the speech prepared in advance, and he read it out according to the script, which did not seem as casual and generous as the mayor of Jersey City.

Finally, 42 students from the Chinese side met with 42 families in the United States, and the family arranged for Zuo Jiang was a father and son, the father was named George and Bright, a senior researcher at a Jersey biopharmaceutical company, forty-five or sixteen years old, with short curly golden hair, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the smile on his face was very sincere. The son's name is George and Harvey, the same age as Zuo Jiang, a junior high school student in Jersey Public High School, he is about the same height as Zuo Jiang, and like his father, he is also a curly golden hair, and he is very handsome.

After the translator introduced them to each other, Bright warmly stepped forward and hugged Zuo Jiang and said very warmly: "I welcome you on behalf of our whole family." China, left! Then he introduced his son Harvey to Zuo Jiang, and then Zuo Jiang took the initiative to hug Harvey.

Zuo Jiang said with a sincere smile on his face, "It's nice to meet you, Uncle Bright and Harvey!" I am so blessed by your enthusiasm that I am sure we will become good friends! ”

There was no barrier between Zuo Jiang's English and them, and it didn't take long for them to talk like a family. The rest of the students were also communicating with the people in the families they were going to. Fortunately, my classmates' English is basically very good, and they can even express their own meanings when speaking with analogies.

Song Kexin is going to a small ranch owner family in Jersey City, and it is a mother and daughter who come to pick her up, and her mother is a housewife. The daughter's name is Alice, with curly blonde hair, who looks as cute as a rag doll, and is also 15 years old. Lin Lei is also a junior at Jersey Public High School, but in a different class from Harvey. Zuo Jiang is very happy about this, they can experience learning and life in the same school, and they can meet often.

George's home is a small villa, at first glance it is a wealthy family, Zuo Jiang and George father and son got out of the car, the enthusiastic hostess Stephens came out of the house, Stephens is very beautiful. Although she is a little fat due to her age, it can't hide the fact that she is young and a beauty.

As soon as Spencing saw the handsome Zuo Jiang, she felt a special sense of intimacy, stepped forward and hugged Zuo Jiang to give a veneer salute, and then said happily: "Handsome China, Zuo, you are about to catch up with my son Harvey Handsome!" ”

This is definitely an American way of expression, Zuo Jiang knows some things in this regard, so he didn't feel discouraged, and said with a smile: "Beautiful lady, I feel very honored to be a guest at your home and be warmly welcomed by you!" ”

Stephens exclaimed happily, "Oh. My God, this is the most beautiful praise I have ever heard today! After speaking, he took Zuo Jiang with one hand and Harvey with the other, and walked into the house.

Shi Di Fensi first took Zuo Jiang to see the room prepared for him, then took Zuo Jiang to visit their villa with great interest, and finally came to the restaurant to introduce him to the Filipino maid who was putting wine glasses on the table, and George and his son sat at the table and looked at the excited Stephens with a smile on their faces. The whole scene is full of warmth and harmony.

After living in George's house for a few days. Zuo Jiang was very impressed by the difference between the United States and China, and first he was very envious of American middle school students. That's called happiness, because they don't have homework at all, they come home from school to do what they like, they can play whatever they want, and parents don't limit their children's activities.

Every day Zuo Jiang and Harvey go to and from school together, Harvey's class specially added a set of desks to Zuo Jiang, placed in the last row of the class, there are four classes every morning, sometimes one or two in the afternoon, and the rest of the time is a practice class, that is, to practice what they have learned today, and then go home from school, their schoolbags do not have to be carried home, directly in the school.

After a few days of contact, Zuo Jiang basically figured out the basic situation of the George family, Harvey's father George and Bright are double doctors in chemistry and nutrition, and have worked in Jersey Biopharmaceutical Company for almost 20 years, and are the senior technical directors of this company, with an annual salary of 600,000 US dollars. His mother, Stephens, was a staff member at Jersey City City Hall, with a low salary and a low salary, which was a moderate income in Jersey City, but she didn't need to go out to work at Bright's annual salary, but she couldn't stay idle at home, so she found a Filipino maid to take care of Harvey and do housework, and she went to City Hall to apply for a job as a civil servant.

Zuo Jiang now George's family has a lot of economic books and newspapers, Zuo Jiang asked Harvey to know that these are his father Bright, now the stock market in the United States is rising strongly, Bright put all the spare money in his hand into the stock market, in order to obtain more benefits, so he has made great efforts to study this aspect.

With Zuo Jiang's research on the economy and his grasp of the economic context of the United States in his previous life, he felt very amused when he saw their predictions of the economic situation in the newspapers and periodicals, and they were still arguing fiercely over their own views.

One day, Bright saw that Zuo Jiang was reading the New York Financial News that he brought back yesterday, so he chatted with Zuo Jiang very curiously.

Zuo Jiang's economic research in his previous life can only be said to be semi-professional, but he has a grasp of the trend of the world economy in the next 20 years, and it is more professional than professional, while Bright only understands the economic aspect because he has invested in the financial market, of course, he can't compare with Zuo Jiang.

Although the U.S. economy is now developing very fiercely, and the financial market is thriving, Zuo Jiang knows that in 1987, the U.S. caused an economic crisis due to excessive plundering in the capital market, resulting in the Great Depression second only to the economic crisis in 1919 in U.S. history. Only then did the three major automobile companies be retained, and even so, the three major automobile companies only got out of the predicament after three years.

When Bright asked about the prospects of the New York stock market, Zuo Jiang thought of the few days when he came to George's house, and their whole family treated him as their own family, took care of him meticulously, and was very grateful to their family, since he knew that the stock was about to start falling sharply, how could he help them, knowing that this was a virtue of the Chinese, and he was saying that he was also raising his hands.

Of course, Zuo Jiang will not directly say that he knows that the economic bubble in the stock market is about to burst, but analyzes the current overheating situation of the US economy for Bright from the side, and guides him from the perspective that things are bound to reverse and overheating will inevitably decline, and finally puts forward his own opinions: "Uncle Bright, I think that the stock market in New York will soon have a big turmoil, followed by a decline all the way, and I can't say how big the decline will be, but I think it's very big, even to the extent that we can't believe it. So I suggest that I withdraw from the stock market as soon as possible, save my strength, and wait for the economy to improve in a few years before joining the stock market! ”

Although Bright thinks that Zuo Jiang's analysis is very reasonable, he doesn't believe that the stock of the New York Stock Exchange will fall so badly, and now that the stock market is triumphant, who would believe that in the blink of an eye, it will almost collapse as Zuo Jiang said! But after all, Bright is a scientist with a double doctorate title, he has his own set of analysis problems, and in the end, he feels that the situation analyzed by Zuo Jiang is not impossible, and if he is really born, he will have nothing.

Bright said: "Left, I can follow your suggestion to withdraw the principal I put into the stock market, that is, I will lose the rest when I don't make any money in the stock market, when is it more appropriate for me to withdraw the principal?" You must know that the current stock market is still bullish all the way. ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Uncle Bright, it's best to withdraw before Christmas, you can still gain something during this time, but I still suggest that once the stock market falls after Christmas, you will immediately withdraw all of them, so that you can lose less!" ”

At the beginning, Bright did not fully believe Zuo Jiang's words, but he still cashed out more than 1 million US dollars that he had invested in the past two years before Christmas, and when the stock market began to decline after Christmas, the decline was not large, he did not throw away all the cash according to Zuo Jiang's opinion, but threw away half of the cash out of more than 800,000 US dollars, what he didn't expect was that the stock market suddenly collapsed just two days later, the stock price plummeted, and the more than 80,000 US dollars of stocks in the stock market became worthless in a blink of an eye. At this time, he regretted that he didn't believe Zuo Jiang's words, but it was too late, and to his delight, he still won a lot in the sound of jumping off buildings and crying in the stock market. Of course, that's all for later!
