"What did you say?"

"You're saying he says in a few years house prices in Palm Springs are going to plummet?"

In a luxury villa in Palm Springs, Bernard, who has a white beard, puts down the newspaper in his hand and looks around his son with amusement.

"But it's not, a child is just a child after all, he doesn't understand anything, but he dares to talk nonsense with his mouth open."

Mark shrugged.

The kindness on his face had turned into sarcasm, he opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of Tasmanian rain mineral water and took a sip:

"He's probably not sure what it would mean if home prices in Palm Springs plummeted."

"If that kind of thing really happens, then I'm afraid the capital pattern of the world will change."

"I think there is an idiom in the Dragon Kingdom, called Xinkou Huang, and I think this child is the real Xinkou Huang."

said.

Mark took a sip of the mineral water and threw it directly into the trash.

If you are seen by others.

I'm afraid that it will be a waste of a lot, after all, this bottle of Tasmanian rain comes from Tasmania, and such water is collected directly from the rainwater on the island.

When it rains, it is bottled directly without any filtration and processing to guarantee its purity.

Of course, the price is not cheap.

Five-meter knives per bottle!

However, Bernard Madoff, who saw this scene, just rolled his eyelids and did not say anything about his son's wasteful behavior, but asked:

"Did you find anything else on the way?"

"Nope." Mark was a little depressed: "Although this little kid screams one by one, he looks stupid. ”

"But in fact, this kid is a thief, I asked a lot of questions about Yuanxiu investment on the way, but he interrupted and forked up."

"The only thing I know at the moment is that he studied abroad in Amiliken, and his father is a legal person who invests in Yuanxiu, but more, he doesn't want to say anything."

"Oh? Can't even ask? Bernard raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

His eldest son is not the kind of idiot who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, on the contrary, he has always been the company's right-hand man.

Originally, he asked Mark to receive him this time, just to find out about the situation, but what he didn't expect was that.

His eldest son failed.

"Dad, if you want me to say that we don't care about this and what kind of investment is in Yuanxiu, you personally invited Yuanxiu Investment to participate, but none of them are willing to come."

"Just sending a kid and a company executive sent us away."

"It's looking down on us."

"I don't think we need to talk to them about anything at all, anyway, the previous few hands have already suppressed them and can't raise their heads, since they don't give us face, then we just continue to shoot."

"It's a small company, and I really think I'm a person."

Mark said with a grimace on his face.

He was really upset.

Not only because Yuanxiu Investment is a dragon company that he looks down on, but what makes him even more unhappy is that the other party of the invitation letter responded like this time.

His father, the former NASDAQ ZX, is in the Amilican financial circle and wants to meet anyone.

But on the contrary.

In such a company, it was a shame, and the invited person did not come, but a little kid and a little housekeeper with no authority.

Who is this to look down on?

But when Mark was upset with his own Lao Tzu, Bernard on the side shook his head:

"Mark, you have to remember. At any time, don't take yourself too seriously. ”

"But Dad, you are the former ZX of NASDAQ and the godfather of Wall Street, even if the president sees you, he needs to shake your hand politely!"

"And then?"

"And then this Yuanxiu investment turned out to be so unsightly, they were so rampant that they even dared to snub us!"

"Well, what do you think we should do?"

"Continue with our previous operation, so that they will either lose all their money or get out of the Amilican market."

"Then you're telling me what's in it for us to do that?"

"Relieve your anger!"

"Gas?"

"Yes, no one will dare to underestimate us then!"

"Is there anything else besides this benefit?"

"This ......"

Father and son asked and answered.

It ended with Mark scratching his head.

"Do you find that it doesn't seem to have any benefits, and even because of our large-scale actions, it will cause some unnecessary troubles and risks?" Bernard asked with a smile.

Although Mark didn't want to admit it, he could only nod.

However, he was obviously not a man who would be easily persuaded, and he said again:

"But at least we are relieved, and we can also use this action to deter some ignorant people, prove our strength to the outside world, and prevent similar things from happening in the future."

"Deterrence?" Bernard smiled.

It's just that there is a bit of self-deprecation in that smile.

I saw this gray-haired old man take a serious look at his son, and then said:

"I'm still the same."

"Never think too highly of yourself."

"I have a lot of titles, and I do seem respectable, but in fact I ......"

"I'm nothing."

Seeing that his son wanted to refute, he saw that Bernard had already said again:

"In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can really be regarded as what kind of character, the rich and the powerful."

"And we don't have either of those."

"Not to mention the rights, although I have so many titles, in fact, I don't have any rights at all."

"And the money ......"

"Although I am now managing a lot of money, and I am making a lot of money for it, at least on the surface, I can't be rich, and even any of my clients are richer than me."

"I'm dying, it's just a hub between the two."

"So, if you get those compliments and praise from the outside world, it's bound to be a tragedy."

Speaking of this, Bernard glanced at his own child, and when he saw that Mark wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't seem to know how to refute it, he smiled:

"As for the deterrence you are talking about, it is even more non-existent."

"I do have some fame and prestige on Wall Street, but you need to know why I have that prestige because of my credit and reputation in the outside world."

"Even, even now that our project is going smoothly, a large part of the reason is because my reputation seems to be quite good now."

"People are willing to believe in me and support me."

"But if."

"If I target and suppress others for unwarranted reasons or for the so-called deterrence, there is only one final result."

"These supporters will leave me, and my reputation and credibility will be completely ruined!"

Speaking of this, the sharpness in Mark's heart was finally gradually suppressed:

"I know my father."

"But what are we going to do next, are we going to let them despise us like that?"

"Contempt?" Bernard smiled:

"On the contrary, I think that the fact that the other party can even send their own underage children is enough to show that they value us."

"But ......"

"Kid, you need to know that acting is the most important thing at all times."

"What does that mean?"

Mark was puzzled, but unfortunately, he did not receive any answer to this question, and saw that Bernard had already cleaned up his appearance.

Slowly stood up and walked towards the door:

"Alright."

"It's time."

"I'm going to meet our guests."
