Chapter 31： Temporary increase

"It's rare and wonderful that you have this kind of determination to make a change. William, I can relate to you. There were bad moments early in my life that I didn't even want to be. Reminiscing again. In those shattering moments, there is always a question in my mind, does my life have any meaning at all?”

"That kind of confusion can only be deeply understood by those who have experienced it. And I also know that it is very, very difficult to really make up your mind to make changes. If you can do it, it is very admirable." Pula said to William Chen with deep emotion.

"Yes, at that moment, I suddenly had a feeling of empowerment. It was like you were living a chaotic life and didn't know what you should do and what the meaning of your life was. But at a certain moment, it was like Just like being called, you can face your heart and face the torture of your soul, and finally I found the answer."

"Everyone knows that my father is of Chinese descent. He once told me some Chinese stories and legends when I was young, including stories about epiphanies in Buddhist scriptures, but I have never understood this: how can people suddenly What about the epiphany? And at that moment, I finally understood.”

"It's like there are many moments that we don't notice, but the changes are happening in subtleties. That is, quantitative changes produce qualitative changes, and when these changes reach a certain level, it will come. I am very grateful and consider myself I am very fortunate to be able to get this experience when I was young. I think it is very cherished." After saying this, William Chen raised his wrist and let everyone see the bracelet he was wearing.

"It's a very beautiful bracelet, it looks very quaint," Oprah said.

"Yes, it was given to me by a good friend of mine, and I like it very much. You can see that I put my sober badge on it." William Chen showed the sober badge on the bracelet to Oprah sees:

"Although this is only a one-month-old badge of honor, I hope to stick to it and get a badge for 10, 20, or even 30 years. You know it takes courage to say something like this on this show."

Oprah laughed. She faced the camera and said, "William, you have to believe in the influence of our show. Now the whole country has heard your words, and everyone will monitor you."

"I'm mentally prepared for this, Oprah. The fact is that not just quitting drinking, but also learning to enrich myself, is my way of trying to change myself and get back on my feet. It's like recently, I invited Ms. Erica, a very good lecturer at New York University, came to help me with my homework, and I tried to use what I learned into investment. Fortunately, the returns seem to be good so far."

"Many people know that I just bought the New York Observer, but few people know that I bought this newspaper from my investment income. The meaning of this thing to me is that this is For the first time in my life I have invested my own money, so it means a lot."

"That's big news, William, many people are wondering that you have become the boss of the newspaper. Now it seems that you are indeed prepared. But I am very curious that it seems that your investment income this time is really Not bad. Can you tell me?" Oprah asked what many people were most concerned about.

"It's really good, and I won't disclose the exact amount. All I can say is that this money is enough for me to repay the loan and make other investments. Of course, I understand that this investment has a great element of luck in it. , because I invested several million dollars to buy a stock that has increased dozens of times in less than a month." William Chen doesn't mind revealing some of his current financial resources to the public through this show, so that he can help future generations. Buying or investing is good.

"Wait, William, let me guess, the investment of several million dollars is calculated as 5 million dollars, and the income of dozens of times is also calculated as 50 times, this is the income of 250 million dollars, how much is it? Is it more or less than this number?" Oprah seized the opportunity and asked the key point.

"It's slightly more than this number, but it won't be too much higher." William Chen nodded and said.

"Wow, what an amazing number!"

"It's just that there is more luck, and I will have a clearer understanding of my abilities. But I also put an advertisement here, that is, friends who are worried about the future of the "New York Observer" can rest assured, because I still have Those who are able to make continuous capital investment for this newspaper will also adhere to the newspaper's creed of objectivity and neutrality, making it an authoritative media. Of course, in addition to this, I will also try to make other investments, such as the Internet, especially With the popularization of smartphones, the mobile Internet industry brought by it is an area that I am very interested in.”

Seeing William Chen openly advertising his newspaper in his own program, Oprah showed an embarrassed and polite smile on her face. Of course, this is also for the effect of the show. After all, everyone understands that Chen William is willing to come to the interview, and it must be a win-win for everyone.

"By the way, William, when I talked about your morning run, I have to talk about the photos we've all seen. Many people have photographed you often running with Ivanta in the morning. Can you tell us about your relationship? Also? You and Paris used to hang out together a lot. I believe everyone is very curious about your current love life."

This question seems to have been prepared for a long time. When Oprah finished saying this, on the big screen behind the two, there appeared a photo of William Chen and Ivanta running together in the morning, and William Chen and Paris going out together Photos taken while shopping.

The expression on William Chen's face seemed to say: I still can't escape, and finally I came.

"In fact, I'm still single, and I'm great friends with Paris and Ivanta. They're all very good women, and they've got fascinating qualities, not just great looks. , their hard work in their careers and their love for life are what I admire. But you know, I have had several relationships before, but now I just want to focus more on my career and love , I will be more cautious."

"Can I think that you mean that your previous relationship was a bit random? We know that the girlfriends you have admitted to before are all female stars, and there are many who have been photographed by the media but have not been admitted by you. ." Oprah took the opportunity to ask the somewhat pointed question.

"Uh, it can only be said that I was too young at the time. You know, at that stage, the understanding of emotions was not so deep. Many times, the influence of dopamine secretion and love are not so clear. It's like We eat delicious food and enjoy sports, all of which will make us feel happy because of the secretion of dopamine, but in fact, most of these are just for the satisfaction of the body. Maybe at my current stage, I will pay more attention to it besides these. The spiritual level of the two people is compatible." William Chen said these words with sincerity.

"William, what do you think of your rash feelings before, do you regret it now?"

"It can't be said to be regret, yes, each of us looks back at our former selves and can see that we have done a lot of stupid things - well, maybe I'm more famous for the stupid things I did - but that's you after all , each of us has to go through these stages that seem silly to us more or less, these are the components of your life. The value of those experiences for us in the future is to make us stop making those mistakes and become better self."

"Then you said you would make other investments, but only the Internet industry. We know that your previous investment in movies was unsuccessful, so will you continue to invest in movies in the future?"

Thinking of the movie "Magic Mike" that he just won by lottery, William Chen naturally wouldn't stand up casually:

"There will definitely be, but I will plan more maturely, and I will not invest in big productions casually. I hope to accumulate experience from low-budget films and pay more attention to quality. As I said just now, Those bad behaviors in the past, the greatest value to me, is that I am more aware of myself, know the limits of my ability, and people can't be too ambitious, can they?"

At this point in the interview, it's almost time. Oprah is still very satisfied with today's recording, and William Chen is also very cooperative There are many breaking points in it, so that the audience can see William Chen who is different from the rumored, this is this issue The biggest highlight of the show.

After recording this episode of the talk show, Oprah sent William Chen out of the studio, said goodbye to him, and told him that the show would be broadcast soon after the production was completed.

……

In Chen William's bank account, after deducting bank loans, there are now about 435 million US dollars. Today is the day when William Chen is going to start shorting gold. After the morning run, he is going to use the [Random Temporary Withdrawal Card (Elementary)].

There is a sense of ceremony. After bathing and changing clothes, William Chen opened the interface of the future bank. He first took out [Lucky Perfume (Elementary)], and the bottle of lucky perfume in his hand looked just like an ordinary perfume, just without the label.

William Chen took the lucky perfume in his hand and sprayed it on himself a few times, but he didn't feel any smell, and then the lucky perfume disappeared out of thin air.

It should have worked by now, right? Thinking about it this way, remembering that the lucky perfume is only valid for one minute, William Chen hurriedly took out a random temporary withdrawal card from the interface of the future bank. After choosing to use it, William Chen saw the numbers appearing in front of him and began to scroll, and finally stopped at 20. above the numbers.

Then a system prompt appeared in front of him: the quota adjustment was completed, and the temporary quota was adjusted to 20 times. Chen William's previous loan limit at William Bank was 150 million. When he opened the [Account] interface again, he found that the limit at this time had become 3.15 billion US dollars, an increase of 20 times.

And there is a reminder with a * mark below the quota display, indicating that it contains a temporary quota of 3 billion US dollars, which will expire on September 1, 2009, please complete the repayment before that.
