What is happier than happy is stealing pleasure!

Chu Zhen was holding "Smart Investor" and stealing fun, when suddenly someone next to him said to him:

"This little classmate, can you show me this book in your hand?"

Chu Zhen looked up and saw that there were several people standing in front of him unconsciously.

It was an old man who spoke, with snow-white hair, estimated to be at least seventy years old, with a ruddy complexion and full of energy.

Behind the old man stood a middle-aged man, tall, magnificent, handsome, and very powerful.

However, Chu Zhen felt that this person was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Don't be nervous, little classmate, I just want to borrow the book in your hand and take a look."

The old man saw that Chu Zhen was in a daze, thinking that he was frightened, and hurriedly explained to Chu Zhen that he spoke with a hint of Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents.

At this time, Chu Zhen saw the female clerk standing behind just now, and there was a short and fat middle-aged man standing next to her.

Chu Zhen probably guessed what was going on, it should be that the old man had a good relationship with the bookstore, and when he heard about this book, he found himself through this female clerk.

Chu Zhen guessed that the old man likes to come to this bookstore to buy books, because of his special status, every time he comes to the bookstore, the manager will volunteer to receive him warmly (serve and please), but the old man doesn't care about these at all, he just likes to buy books, and the collection and research of ancient books and treasures belongs to his family's cultural inheritance for several generations.

The old man's name is Xue Chaoqiao, and he is a leading figure in the Chinese economic circles, and he has also held important positions in the economic department.

Xue Lao is a native of Jiangnan Soviet Province, graduated from Fudan University in his early years, majoring in economics, and later abandoned his pen to join the revolution in Rong.

After 1949, Xue Lao became an important official in charge of the economy in China, and in 1955 he was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

As one of the leading people, Xue Lao personally participated in the construction of the two economic systems before and after China, and was called the "pioneer of the market economy" in China by the academic circles.

Although Xue Lao has left the front-line leadership position, he is still an important think tank for high-level decision-making in Huaxia.

Today, a junior came to visit Xue Lao and asked Xue Lao for some things.

This junior is also a book lover, so after talking about things, the two came to the Chinese bookstore together.

When Xue Lao was at the ancient books booth on the third floor, he was very happy when he accidentally learned that there was an original book like this, and immediately expressed his desire to see the book. The general manager hurriedly asked the staff to bring the book, who knew that the book had been put on the first floor for sale.

Xue Lao is a real bookworm, and after hearing about it, he was impatient to wait upstairs, and ran directly to the first floor. He thought that this kind of book should not be bought so quickly, but he didn't expect that the book would be bought as soon as it was released, and I heard that he was still a middle school student.

Xue Lao was a little disappointed, but he was also curious in his heart, he wanted to know who this "discerning pearl" was?

So under the leadership of the female clerk, Xue Lao and they found Chu Zhen at the door, and the scene just now appeared.

"Sir, take your time, I'm not in a hurry, and I'm not nervous." Chu Zhen smiled and handed the book to the old man as he spoke.

Taking the book handed over by Chu Zhen, Xue Lao put on his reading glasses and began to carefully look through the English version of "The Smart Investor", after reading it for a while, Xue Lao began to smile and nodded, and then turned his head to the middle-aged man behind him and said: "This book is really good, it's the first time I've seen it in China, and there is no translation yet." ”

Saying that, Xue Lao handed the book to the middle-aged man: "Huasheng, you are about to go to Pengcheng, Guangdong Province to take up a post, this book should be of great reference value for the things you want to lead." ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly took the book and flipped through it a few times, and said:

"Uncle Xue, you know me, I studied Russian in college, this book is too professional for me, I have to find someone to translate it."

"Well, I have to find someone to translate this book internally, it will definitely inspire and help you to work in Pengcheng."

Chu Zhen listened to it next to him and felt a little strange, this book is buddy mine, you two are air to me?

However, Chu Zhen also heard that these two should have unusual identities. Especially this old man known as "Uncle Xue", he has an extraordinary temperament, and people with the surname Xue are rare, is it ...... He's an old man?

Just when Chu Zhen was pondering the identity of the old man, the short and fat middle-aged man standing next to the female clerk crowded closer.

I don't know when he has already taken out three big unity, that is, thirty yuan in his hand.

The fat man took the banknote in his hand and shook it in front of Chu Zhen's eyes, and then said in an unquestionable tone:

"This book has been ordered out before, this is thirty yuan, you can't read it anyway, give me back the book!"

Chu Zhen was not happy when he heard it, I damn it, when I just entered the city or have I never seen money?

Chu Zhen didn't plan to get used to this guy, and when he was about to refute it, Xue Lao spoke:

"Xiao Yan, you're wrong! Other people's little classmates have already bought it, it's someone else's, do you care if you can understand it? ”

Xue Lao glanced at the fat man very dissatisfied, and said to Chu Zhen kindly:

"Little student, this book is indeed very useful to us, but we will not force it to buy and sell. May I ask you why you bought this book? It's not cheap! And it's all in English. ”

As Xue Lao, it is not difficult to find this book if he really wants to find it, but he is quite interested in the little guy in front of him.

"Mr. Lao, this is the American securities analysis master, Benjamin Graham's "Smart Investor", this book summarizes the author's investment philosophy, introduces the operation of the securities market, focuses on how to establish a portfolio strategy, how to determine the expected return, how to be a smart investor. I bought it mainly for learning English, and this is the first edition of the original English version, which is well preserved, and I think it should be very collectible! ”

Chu Zhen's words made the middle-aged man named "Hua Sheng" next to Xue Lao a little surprised, and he said in his heart I can't even understand this book, your little hairy child is as old as my daughter, right? Are you still talking in front of Xue Lao?

Xue Lao was also surprised when he heard Chu Zhen's words, he didn't expect that this child who looked like a middle school student would have a very high level of English.

After all, the content of Chu Zhen's lecture just now contains a lot of professional terms on financial investment, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand, let alone a middle school student.

"Well, little classmate, you have learned English very well! What grade are you in? ”

"Sir, I've just entered my first year of high school."

"I'm only a freshman of English in high school, and I'm ready to read the original English version? This is not ordinary, do you plan to go abroad in the future? ”

Xue Lao's interest in Chu Zhen became even stronger, and he even forgot about the book and began to "gossip".

"I have always been interested in learning English, even if I don't study abroad or travel abroad, I believe that with the development of our country, there will be many places where foreign languages will be used in the future." Chu Zhen replied calmly.

"Oh? Are you so confident in the development of our country? The old man asked with great interest.

"Of course, Huaxia will definitely become the first power in the future! At that time, people from all over the world will come to our Huaxia to make money. ”

Chu Zhen said confidently.

"Hahaha...."

Xue Lao was amused by the words of the little guy in front of him. At the same time, Chu Zhen's words also made him arrogant, and said:

"You're right! We are outstanding Chinese people, and we will definitely stand on top of the world! I didn't think you would have such an insight! That's great! The afterlife is terrifying! ”

The old man remembered something, and continued:

"By the way, I'll discuss with you, whether this book can be resold to me, the price is negotiable."

Chu Zhen was already very sure of the old man's identity at this time, he should be Xue Lao, but he didn't find fault with it, and said to Xue Lao:

"Old man, the sword is given to the hero, since we are so like-minded, this book will be given to you!"
