Chapter Seventy-Three: Making Money from the Rich
However, Wang Cheng did not have the heart to clarify this misunderstanding.
His interest in automobiles stems from men's instinctive pursuit of speed and furiousness, on the one hand, and the need for work on the other.
The content of "hidden killing" includes causing traffic accidents, and the poison is a doctor, and the knowledge he imparts to Wang Cheng is biased towards medicine. And since Wang Cheng left Puerto Rico, he seems to have been disconnected from the company, and the company let him hang around outside like this, regardless of whether Wang Cheng has not completed his studies. Therefore, Wang Cheng can only rely on self-study to complete this knowledge. And he contacted Li Xiang and further inquired about the information of the used car market, thinking that he would complete his studies in this area.
He already had the relevant knowledge, he downloaded the complete manual for the development of operational personnel from within the company, and what was lacking now was the practical content......
Mr. Gregory Pike's house is located on the outskirts of the city, and it is a two-story house with a small attic, which is also a mansion in New York, where every inch of land is at a premium.
On the ground floor of the house is a garage and workshop, a living room β what we commonly call a living room, and a large kitchen. There were two unnamed vintage cars parked in the garage, and the Parkers' usual cars had to be parked in the roadside driveway. In addition to these two classic cars, there is also a machine tool in the garage, as well as roof-high shelves filled with various parts.
"It's just a storage room for some valuable parts, and my daughter works at a nearby garage that has complete machinery," said Pike as he toured the garage with pride on his face.
Wang Cheng was a little surprised, as a project director of the foundation, and in a place like Wall Street, Parker's annual salary should be in the million-dollar level. For such a successful man, his daughter's career choice to work as a car repairer, as a father, Parker does not feel shameless, but is very proud of it...... I really don't understand the American way of thinking.
Parker's invitation was the next night, and after the invitation was sent out in the office that day, he chatted with Wang Cheng for a while, and the two sides talked about accounting cases, and Parker also went to Jonad Jensen's office to formally ask for Wang Cheng to be transferred to his project team, but Jensen refused without explaining any reason. Undeterred, Pike left Jensen's office and immediately invited Wang Cheng to dinner the next day.
That night, Wang Cheng brainwashed and consulted a large number of American TV series, and found out the etiquette that Americans need to come to the door. After a mock experiment in front of the mirror, he changed into his guest outfit and went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of Australian Velvetglove, which has an industry rating of 97 and is said to be characterized by a combination of two extremes: fruity suppleness and strong, long-lasting alcohol, so it is known as the "lronfistundervelvetglove", which is soft on the surface and tough on the substance.
The $200 bottle of red wine was just right for Wang Cheng's image, and he came to the door in a black suit, driving a thunderbolt, and carrying an "iron fist in velvet gloves." He came a little early, Mr. Pike's daughter had not yet come home, and Mrs. Pike was still busy in the kitchen, so in order to delay time, Mr. Pike had to make an enthusiastic gesture, and then led Wang Cheng to visit his garage.
As a pseudo-car fan, Wang Cheng is actually most interested in destroying the car and making it look like a normal failure when the car has an accident...... Today, he didn't recognize the badges on many of the cars, and he couldn't comment on the two cars in Pike's garage, so he had to show great interest and listen intently to Pike's conversation...... Fortunately, Mr. Parker seems to be only interested in the price of the vehicle, and does not have the slightest sense of the number of a senior accountant when it comes to the vehicle's surname. This makes it easy for Wang Cheng to perfunctory the past.
Back in the living room, Wang Cheng seemed a little unsure of what to say, he simply found an excuse, claiming that his cooking skills were passable, and rushed to the kitchen to help the hostess, and Mr. Pike seemed to be very satisfied with Wang Cheng's initiative, and when Wang Cheng got into the kitchen, he immediately turned on the TV and watched the baseball league that had been delayed for a long time.
When the image appeared on the TV screen, Mr. Parker remembered that it was as if Wang Cheng was wearing a championship ring on his delicate Hermès gloves, but this ring did not know whether it was the championship ring of the basketball team, or the football and ice hockey teams...... Not the baseball team anyway.
When Parker's daughter Rose entered the door, she found her father staring nervously at the TV, and she asked curiously, "Daddy, didn't you say that there are guests today, what about the guests?" β
Pike didn't take his eyes off the TV, and pointed his hand in the direction of the kitchen, "I'm helping your mother." β
"Father, you actually left the guest in the kitchen and watched TV here alone." Rose screamed.
Pike didn't take his eyes off the TV: "He seems to be a little nervous with me, well, he's a very honest young man, I don't know anything about the preferences and fashions of you young people, you listen, he has a good time chatting with your mother." β
Rose looked into the kitchen and said, "Then I'll go take a shower first, change into a dress for a guest, and then come back to meet the guest." β
When Rose walked into the living room with her wet hair draped, dinner was ready, the kitchen table was lined with coloured and fragrant dishes, the bottle of red wine had been opened, her father was talking about her old work, her face was blushing and her neck was thick, and her mother was complimenting the table full of dishes for how well it was done...... It can be seen that both parents are very excited and have become one with this young man.
Pike humorously said, "...... The rich guy, who was always so generous, funny, and informal, at the dinner table, would flatly refuse to pay the measly $35 parking fee. He would tirelessly circle the blocks, spending an hour until he found a public parking space on the side of the road. It's driving me crazy.
Yes, rich people like to spend their money on beautiful gadgets; But as I said, they don't like to be wronged either, and they always look for an opportunity to bargain. The popular stereotype of the rich is as pervasive as the stereotype of the poor. And both arise from ignorance.
It is conceivable that the consumption trend of this group of people determines the direction of the economy. And if you understand their spending patterns, chances are you're one step ahead of others when it comes to finding investment opportunities......
Rich people are not always wise investors. I've met people who know a lot about the financial markets, and I know a lot of other people who really don't know anything about it. I've done statistics that only 8% of wealthy people know what private equity (PE) does, and about 26% of wealthy people think they are "fairly familiar" with PE. In other words, 67% of the rich are blind to how PE companies can make money by buying, renovating, and selling companies......
Rose took the opportunity to sit down and interjected to interrupt her father's words: "Did you drive the Thunderbolt parked in the driveway?" It's a very good car, but its front and rear bumpers seem to be original. β
Wang Cheng's face was full of surprise: "This can also be seen, it's amazing!" Tell me, how do you see that? β
ps: Wang Cheng met a car repair master, what will he learn? How will it help him with his new mission? Thank you brothers and sisters, the new book list is the first, continue to give strength, Sanjiang votes for each person, recommend the vote!
