Chapter 4: Geniuses and Natives

"Judging from the financial report, there is no problem with the asset allocation. Real estate, land fixed assets accounted for 35%, Rio Tinto Group, Unilever and several other equity assets that have no impression in their memories accounted for 40%. The remaining 25% of the assets are diversified investments in financial fields such as trusts, commercial insurance, and bank deposits.

The two parts of fixed assets and equity assets do not matter about risk aversion, and the prospect of real estate is needless to say, Rio Tinto and Unilever, two companies that occupy the majority of equity assets, are still leading enterprises in their respective industries after 30 years......

Well, it should be noted here that the European economy is currently in the recovery stage, and governments have bailed out the market in time after the occurrence of financial risks. The financial crisis did not turn into an economic crisis, and the economies of European and American countries fell into a downturn, and the impact on the real economy was within a controllable range.

So in summary, only investment in the financial sector needs to avoid risks, but how to convince Ms. Helena to believe in herself?

…… This part of the non-performing assets may be able to be exploited...... Madam, health tourism to learn about ......" Hall straightened out his thoughts in his head, threw down the financial report and stretched hard.

Raising his wrist to look at the time, at half past eleven, it was almost time for lunch, a sit-up from the sofa, and quickly left the sunroom.

It may be due to the fact that the traditional English breakfast is too anti-hunger and the prevalence of afternoon tea culture, and people generally don't care much about eating lunch. Grab a sandwich, fry a piece of fish, and serve it with a glass of juice for lunch.

He eats enough at school every day, and he doesn't want to fool around when he comes home from vacation, so he has to eat something good.

"What are you talking about, can I come in?" Hall found Helena and Aunt Caroline in the small living room, and the two looked at the albums with great interest and chatted about something.

"Absolutely." Helena closed the atlas and looked at her son, trying to see from her expression if she was frustrated by the frustration of her attempt: "How's it going, what's the problem?" ”

"What?" Hall didn't know why.

Helena comforted: "Financial report, I mean, do you see that the financial report is still going well?" We all know that it is a professional financial statement that is very difficult for beginners. ”

"Yes, this financial report is really too difficult, there are a few things I don't understand, let's talk about it tomorrow when I meet with Mr. Jared." Hall leaned his butt against the back of the couch and let out a long exhalation in agreement.

Helena was about to say that she didn't need to be discouraged, when Hall continued: "There are so many counter-intuitive things in this financial report, I really can't understand why the part about financial risk assessment can be so rough, and there are various cash flow statements, income statements...... It's too complicated, do I need to learn all kinds of mathematical formulas and modeling to read financial statements......"

Helena and Caroline laughed at first, as they listened to Hall's complaints, and smiled at the child's "embarrassed admitting that I didn't understand", but the smile faded as he gushed out all sorts of technical terms and exact questions.

"Uh...... Well, although I don't understand probability distributions, linear programming...... Balabala has this and that expertise, but according to what is presented in this financial report...... I think the underlying logic of their earnings report is ...... in my head There is a gap between what is expected. Seeing Helena's expressions change from smile to surprise to confusion, Hall couldn't stop talking.

Limited by many factors such as basic mathematics and theoretical application, the financial reports of this year are very far behind those of later generations.

He doesn't understand the professional technology in the field of finance, but it does not prevent him from dragging a few terms and complaining according to his knowledge far ahead of the times, and he has just wasted a lot of time by reading the financial report, and it is more accurate to describe it as "troublesome" than "difficult".

Helena's eyes suddenly became a little stranger when she looked at her son: "...... What did you say about what you learned in school during this time? ”

"Sort of, I read some books casually when I'm bored, and the most important thing is here."

Hall looked young and proud, and pointed to his head lightly, "When I first saw the financial report, my head told me that some content could be more comprehensive, precise, and concise, maybe this is talent?" I don't know how to explain it to you. ”

Helena recalls her ignorance when she was 16 years old and followed her father to audit financial meetings; Caroline thought about the way she looked forward to seeing little Hugo stumped by the financial report two hours ago, and then thought about the dazed state when she didn't understand him complaining about the professional content just now.

opened his mouth and didn't speak, maybe genius is like this......

The atmosphere was suddenly quiet for a while, and Hall shook his head secretly.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to show off his professional knowledge, so as to win Helena's trust and pave the way for the subsequent transfer of financial assets to avoid risks.

Now it looks like it's a bit too hard.

Thirty years later, the dividends of the information explosion made him easily stand on the shoulders of giants and become a "genius" in this era. In the future, we have to be a little more restrained and take care of the feelings of the "locals......

"Well, good, your idea is good...... Uh, I mean I'm going to put your thoughts together as a suggestion and give it to Mr. Jared tomorrow. Commenting on something she didn't understand at all made Caroline a little ashamed.

Hale had no intention of continuing to irritate his old mother and Aunt Caroline, shook his head and said no, turned over and sat on the sofa, took a sip of the water glass, and pretended to be too thirsty.

Helena suppressed her complicated thoughts and said apologetically: "Hugo I'm sorry, Caroline and I shouldn't have denied you easily, in fact, you are better than us." ”

Hall was stunned, and then hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, after all, ordinary people can't understand that genius is the norm." ”

"Okay, what's the matter with the genius coming to Mom?" Helena shot back.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Today is a rare sunny day, and I would like to invite Ms. Helena to go on an outdoor barbecue for a while. Going to Orange Manor, it just so happened that we hadn't been there in a while. After a period of contact, Hall almost figured out the character of his old mother.

Helena raised her delicate jawline slightly and nodded reservedly: "Thank you, I accept the invitation." ”

"Yes, that's the smell, this damn elegant British aristocratic tone, the taste is really rushing!"

Hall secretly complained crookedly in her heart, and Aunt Caroline quickly got up and left to prepare.

In the small living room, the mother and son sat opposite each other, and Hall took the initiative to find a topic and said, "What were you talking about with Aunt Caroline just now, you look very happy." ”

"Several clothing brands have sent invitations to Paris Fashion Week next month, as well as ready-to-wear catalogues for this autumn/winter season, do you see any favorites?" Helena flipped through the picture book on the coffee table.

Burberry, Hermès, Chanel......

Hall looked at a large stack of various atlases that were thicker than the original financial reports, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought a few days ago that Ms. Helena had given up more than ten years of good life to rely on her son, and she didn't know how much loneliness she had endured. finally raised his son to grow up, and once he occupied his body, he felt quite guilty in his heart.

Now it seems that the old mother's way to relieve her loneliness is still very sufficient. It took him two hours to read a financial report, so many albums, how could he not kill a day.

"What's the matter, don't you like it, Burberry has a new trench coat that is very handsome, and it matches the pair of leather shoes you customized two days ago......"
