Chapter 350

"Mr. Zheng, the latest price of the oil contract is 27 dollars and 35 cents -"

After the car stopped, Zheng Jianguo got out of the car. While he was looking at the tall building, the middle-aged man asked the man next to the door, turned to him and said the news. He saw Zheng Jianguo nodded noncommittally, raised his feet and walked towards the magnificent glass door. With the male waiters in tuxedos on both sides of the door, he opened the door, With a cool smile, "Welcome -"

The coolness is blown out by the air conditioner after opening the door. Zheng Jianguo has a faint smile on his face, but he is slightly sipping at the corners of his mouth, which shows that his smile is put out. The sipping corners of his mouth are the real reaction of his mood, and his mood is still bad.

Who knows that he has lost tens of millions again? I'm afraid he can't be better?

Following Zheng Jianguo into the lobby, the middle-aged man responded with a smile to the waiters on both sides. After catching up with Zheng Jianguo, he said, "the elevator over there is for external use. Club members have their own elevator -"

"I also set up a special elevator on my own site -"

Zheng Jianguo nodded and followed the middle-aged man. Soon after leaving the lobby paved with marble, he stepped on the soft carpet. The light on his head went dark. When the color and brightness were not publicized wantonly, he saw two men in Western suits standing in the corridor. After speeding up his steps, he reached more than one meter before them, He smiled and said, "Mr. Augustus, we meet again."

"Zheng, don't be so polite about your relationship with me. Just call me Augustus. This is big John, the manager of our club -"

Augustus smiled at Zheng Jianguo and introduced the man next to him. The middle-aged man named Big John had a gentle smile on his face. He reached out his hand and shook Zheng Jianguo's outstretched hand. He opened his mouth with a touch: "welcome home, Zheng, I'm Big John, the housekeeper of the club -"

"Big John is the DBA of Harvard Business School. His father and grandfather are the housekeeper of the British royal family. We wasted a lot of energy to keep him. Zheng, you will learn everything you are interested in from him -"

Augustus' voice is not high, and his low warm voice is like a narrator for the documentary. Of course, this is Zheng Jianguo's feeling. Few people will know what degree DBA is, especially for most ordinary people.

This is a PhD in Business Administration from Harvard Business School. If applied to medical school, it is almost equivalent to passing the study and assessment of Zheng Jianguo's MD and PhD joint training program. Whoever got an MBA in his last life can be regarded as a lifelong honor.

And DBA?

Most people don't know and don't need to know their degree.

It's just that this is nothing in front of Zheng Jianguo. He now has the titles of medical doctor and doctor of physics from Harvard. What he doesn't know is that big John values other key points: "Zheng, although I knew you were very young, I didn't tell myself until you came to me in the distance, who came to me with a smile, I'm a young man under the age of 20, Zheng. You don't know what the advantages of youth are -- "

"Mr. Big John, I know the advantage of youth is that I can patiently wait for the news of climbing on the Nobel Prize podium -"

In the face of the compliment from the DBA, Zheng Jianguo didn't humbly follow John's words, so that even the Augustus next to him smiled and said, "Zheng, your words will become the handle of some people, but you are so young that they can say it. We can go up."

"Do you need to wear formal clothes?"

Seeing that Augustus and Big John were dressed as men in suits, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help looking at his short sleeved shirt. Without thinking of him, Augustus smiled: "we need to wear formal clothes, but you can change it in your room. We can wait for you outside the door -"

"My room?"

Zheng Jianguo followed the two men into the elevator and asked, but his eyes found that the middle-aged man who picked him up had stayed outside the elevator door, and in the elevator car was a man dressed as a waiter who helped them press the door closing button and the floor. Big John smiled and said, "every regular member has his own room in the club, and everything in it is provided by the club, I hope you are satisfied. "

"Well --"

In his mind, Zheng Jianguo realized that he didn't have the key yet. However, considering that he didn't know much about the club, he pressed the idea and changed the topic: "Augustus, my contract has been --"

"Zheng, we can talk about this later."

Augustus shook his head to stop Zheng Jianguo from going on. Big John looked at him and said, "Zheng, these things can only be said in the club."

"Isn't this the club?"

A question reappeared in his mind. Zheng Jianguo nodded when he saw Augustus as if he could sense his thoughts. His face changed slightly and looked at the waiter next to him. They were all full members of the club. So this is the one to worry about?

But soon, as the running elevator stopped, Augustus and John stepped out of the elevator car. After Zheng Jianguo stepped up, he heard John say, "now you can say it. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to share this news with me for free, but I don't want to exchange some news with you -"

"Hehe, Big John, don't joke. Zheng, I'll take you to your room."

Augustus smiled and interrupted Big John. Zheng Jianguo smiled at Big John and left with Augustus. When he looked at the very ordinary doors on both sides, not imaginary numbers, but names, Augustus's voice came: "these are the names of the owners. The doors of these rooms are not locked, but I can assure you, These doors are safer than your bulletproof doors - at what price did you close your position? "

"30 dollars is my psychological price. Of course, the price after closing the position is 29 dollars and 83 cents -"

Remembering that this may be the foreshadowing of a formal topic, Zheng Jianguo recalled his own transaction and said, sure enough, Augustus said, "then you've made almost twice as little. Why don't you wait until the bottom? Even if it hits the bottom and rebounds, just buy it back before returning to the short position level -- "

"Because before doing anything, I will set a goal for myself, that is, I must stop when I earn how much money, so as to prevent me from being controlled by greed."

Passing by one name after another, Zheng Jianguo found that some of these names had been heard in his previous life, but some had never been heard before. Just when the door in front changed from letters to Chinese characters, and the Chinese character was still the three words "Zheng Jianguo" in regular script, he swallowed heavily: "do you know these three words?"

"Many people, including me, know the literal meaning of these three words. Zheng, in the history of the Republic, is the name of a country, which later evolved into a surname. It is the establishment and legislation of the country. The country is a regional political power, and your name, when combined, is the meaning of your Zheng family's commemoration of the founding of the country."

Standing in front of the door marked with the words Zheng Jianguo, Augustus turned his head and said, "Zheng, although you are not the first Chinese in Harvard Club, you are still the first to bring your name into the club. This is a very historic moment, because you do not represent yourself here -"

"I see."

Zheng Jianguo turned around and put his hand on the handle and opened the door. There was no carpet, oil painting and crystal lamp he imagined, but a flat land rarely seen in downtown New York, cluttered with Mazar benches and square tables.

As if he knew what he was thinking, Augustus said, "it was transported from your home in Shanxian County. They didn't find the chair and bed you had sat before, so they asked someone to make it according to the most popular style of the Republic. Your clothes, shoes and hats are in the wardrobe -"

"Thank you!"

Frowning, Zheng Jianguo almost thought he had returned to China when he opened the door and saw the interior layout. However, the voice behind him reminded him of his position. He knew what the group was doing. He lifted his feet to the overcoat cabinet with his bag and opened it. Looking at the neat shirts, ties, suits, shoes and socks inside, he counted them without effort. It was exactly ten sets.

Silently took out his shirt and looked at the mirror in the door of the overcoat cabinet. Zheng Jianguo quickly changed it and found that his shoulder and waist were incomparably fit, so he said, "is this my latest size?"

"I don't know, but you can ask Big John when you see him. He is responsible for everything here."

Augustus certainly knew that the goods were talking to himself, but when he saw Zheng Jianguo turning around, he couldn't help but brighten his eyes: "although there is more publicity and lack of stability, just as big John said, you are still young and in high spirits. Come on, tell me your thoughts. I also have a question to ask you, Of course, if you're willing to tell me -- "

"Oh, Augustus, I'd be happy to answer your question. Ask."

Throw the bag in the room and take the door. Zheng Jianguo, dressed neatly, stood in front of Augustus. Augustus looked at his childish cheek and opened his mouth: "do you think the opening of the Republic will continue?"

"Of course I know that the opening of the Republic will continue!"

The idea flashed through his mind, but Zheng Jianguo frowned and said to Augustus, "what do you want to ask?"

"Your investment, about your investment in the Republic, if you are a Republican in the ordinary sense, you can not only donate all your money to the country, but also eat, drink and have fun, but what you want to do is to spread the traditional culture of the Republic and build a film and television base - I think there must be a reason, don't you?"

Augustus touched his hand and straightened Zheng Jianguo's suit. Zheng Jianguo didn't think much and said, "in fact, in addition to these, I will have a large investment in the name of Jianguo company, with a scale of one billion dollars."

"Well, in billions of dollars, that's a huge figure, but I think you have your own reason -"

He took a cigar out of his pocket and smelled it. Augustus blinked and said, "would you like one?"

"Thank you. Smoking is harmful to health, and smoking some things is also --"

Zheng Jianguo smiled and refused. He didn't have much money in his last life. He had gambled on eating, drinking and whoring. But when he had money in his life, he had the idea of keeping himself as a jade. Of course, this was also caused by the almost diagnosed delusion of being killed, so he followed him and continued: "as you said, I have my own reason for the Republic, And this reason is aboveboard, because in the traditional culture of the Republic, there is an idiom that says to send charcoal in the snow.

Considering the cultural background differences between us at the growth stage, you can understand the idiom here as a proverb, and sending charcoal in the snow is equivalent to sending water to people in the desert. The Republic is short of money, but it still lacks dollars.

Considering my status as a speculator, naturally I don't want to donate this money. In the process of learning, I think of the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, that is, when my surname was still a country's country name, there was a businessman named LV Buwei. "

"A businessman in the Warring States period, is his business big?"

Augustus looked at Zheng Jianguo with a puzzled look on his face, and saw that Zheng Jianguo opened his mouth with a relaxed face: "after he helped Qin Shihuang's father ascend the throne, he was awarded wenxinhou and prime minister. What do you think of his business?"

"Qin Shihuang, where should I have heard of it? Do you want to be LV Buwei of the Republic?"

Augustus looked surprised and said with a cigar, but Zheng Jianguo was amused by his words: "in a sense, what you said earlier is true for us to promote the traditional culture of the Republic and build a film and television base.

In fact, in addition, I can also tell you that in the agreement on investing in the construction of film and television base, I should also provide local government departments with funds as support to help them build an airport that can take off and land white swans. "

"How can you recover your investment? As far as I know, Hollywood doesn't make much money -- "

Augustus slowly raised a question again. He didn't want Zheng Jianguo to continue to say, "the investment recovery of the film and television base is slow, but in addition, I also got the authorization of Japanese NHK HD technology. In the name of promoting traditional culture, I will use these technologies in the shooting of film and television programs free of charge.

In fact, my purpose is to obtain the approval of NHK HD technology in the Republic. After all, if many TV stations in the Republic want to use this technology in the future, they need to pay me - do you know what the advertising fees of major TV stations are now? "

Augustus's eyes lit up: "Zheng, your idea is amazing. Do you still lack partners?"
