Chapter 34: Little Georgiola's Investment
The town is not very big, and news spreads quickly, so when Link arrives at Sheldon's house, Coach George also asks about it, but Link doesn't reveal anything, just that an autopsy is still being performed, and it is impossible to confirm whether it was drowned or killed.
At this time, Sheldon came over, and Coach George didn't continue to ask.
Link casually asked, "What have you been busy with lately, Sheldon?" ”
"In fact, I was recently arguing with Dr. Sturgis about a mathematical problem about calculating magnetic fields in quantum chromodynamical units.
Dr. Sturgis thinks that the McVis equation is the only way, but he ignores the energy density, which requires knowing the permeability of free space and natural units, and I assume an electric field, but it still needs to ......"
If he had heard Sheldon say this a year or two ago, Link would have thought it was a bunch of language gibberish, and now he can't easily do the calculations, but he still has no problem understanding.
Therefore, after patiently listening to Sheldon's words, he thought carefully for a while before saying, "Well, although it is difficult to make a completely correct judgment with my level, I don't think there is anything wrong with your method. ”
"Very well, looks like I need to have a good talk with Dr. Sturgis."
After that, Sheldon went to the living room to make a phone call, and Link and Sheldon went to the living room, just in time to see Sheldon's twin sister Missy watching TV in a baseball team costume.
Seeing this, Link asked, "Missy, did you join the baseball team?" ”
"That's right."
"But I guess we don't have a women's baseball team here, right?"
"Yes, the coach said that he wouldn't recruit girls, but after my grandma talked to the coach, he agreed to let me join, and he is still my grandma's boyfriend."
"Okay, so how do you feel?"
"It's okay, after the coach warned the rest of the team, they were more settled, but during a game there was a boy who deliberately threw the ball on my head."
"Boys at this age do like to bully girls."
"It's nothing, those guys have been so much better since I pushed him to the ground and ate mud."
"Wow, I have to say you're doing a good job Missy."
"Thank you." Missy nodded, then looked at Sheldon, who was calling Dr. Sturgis to prepare an argument, and said, "You know what? I'm on the baseball team, and I've heard a lot of people idolize you because you're the best pitcher and batsman in town. ”
"Thank you, I'm still playing baseball."
"I've heard that Coach Badra said he had seen your game, and if it weren't for the fact that your players were all rubbish, maybe your baseball team wouldn't have finished third.
He still regrets that you didn't become a professional baseball player, saying that if you were a professional footballer, you would at least become a multimillionaire, not a poor scientist who still needs to pay off student loans ten years after college. ”
"Well, I would say that a lot of scientists can make a lot more money if they find a way than if they are a poor star."
"Really? But why do the star players I've heard of have more money than scientists? ”
Link was thinking about how to answer the other party, when little George came back from outside, he happened to see Link, and immediately said, "Hey, Link, I haven't seen you here since you transferred schools, how are you doing?" ”
"I just finished my ACT and SAT tests, and if nothing happens, I'll be going to Caltech in a few months."
"Caltech? Is it in California? ”
Missy listened, "Of course it's California, otherwise it's called Caltech." ”
"I know Missy." Little George glared at Missy, then looked at Link, hesitated slightly, and finally said, "By the way, Link, I remember that you once invested in a project in Sheldon, right, and spent more than two thousand dollars, right?" ”
"Yes, and it's a very good investment." "I'm sure he's going to make me a multimillionaire in the future," Link said. ”
George Jr. and Missy obviously didn't believe Link's words, and Missy said bluntly, "I don't think that Sheldon is going to be of any use, maybe you can try to move Sheldon's computer back to save some of your investment." ”
Sheldon, who had just hung up the phone, heard it and immediately said, "Missy, my rocket recovery technology is an invention beyond its time, a NASA ......."
"Well, we all know that, Missy is just talking nonsense." Little George didn't want Sheldon to continue, and hurriedly said, "Link, since you like investing so much, are you interested in investing in my project?" ”
"Then let's talk about it first."
"That's it, Texas Snowball." Little George took something out of his bag and said, "That nearby boutique is going to close, and this thing sells for $1 a piece, and I sell it for $5, it's like a money printing machine." ”
Coach George, who had been watching the football game next to him, finally couldn't help but say, "Don't you worry, why is the store that buys these things going out of business?" ”
"You don't have a vision."
"Then please don't delay me watching TV."
Ignoring Coach George, George Jr. then said to Link, "How about it, do you want to invest in me?" ”
At this time, Link also recalled the plot, little George was not very good at studying, but seemed to be a genius in sales.
In the Big Bang Theory, when Sheldon was fourteen years old and after the death of Coach George, George Jr. took on the responsibilities of the family and relied entirely on his own efforts to own a very good tire shop.
You must know that Sheldon's family is very poor, and Americans basically have no habit of saving, so it is extremely remarkable that George Jr. can do this.
If he is given a higher starting point, maybe he will be more successful, and in the future, he will inevitably need talents with sales talents, and maybe he can also be given a chance.
Seeing that Link had been thinking for a while, little George finally couldn't help but ask, "How about it, do you want to invest in me?" ”
"Your business is too small for me, and the profit of one or two hundred dollars is not worth my trouble, but we can make an agreement."
"Agreed?"
"Yes, if you can sell more than fifty Texas snowballs, then when you graduate from high school, I can introduce you to a position that pays more than $100,000 a year."
"More than $100,000 a year? You're not lying to me, are you? Can you make $100,000 a year yourself? ”
"I know you're having a hard time believing it right now." Link shrugged his shoulders and said, "You just need to remember my promise, and you can come to me when you need this position." And I promise, as long as you are able, $100,000 is just the most basic payment. ”
"Okay......" Little George shook his head, still not believing Link's words, but he continued: "Since you don't care about this investment, and you don't lack the money to invest, then obviously you can give it a try, we are friends, right?" ”
"Hehe, it looks like you already have the first ingredients for sales success." Link smiled and said, "For my friend's sake, I can invest fifty dollars in you, but I will divide half of the money I earn." ”
"No problem, deal."
"Deal."
