章 11: Chapter 11 Oolong Incident
With the sound of "squeaking" brakes, a brand new black Audi 90 car parked outside a small villa. Ryan sat in the passenger seat and kept grinning. In his eyes, Nicole's driving skills were really good. It was so bad that he doubted whether the newly purchased car could last until the end of the running-in period.
"Nicole, did you bribe the examiner when you took the driving test?"
"Shut up, Ryan." Nicole sharpened her white teeth, "If you keep talking, you will leave St. Mo by yourself after the visit." Nika, let's go back to Los Angeles!"
Ryan stuck out his tongue, swallowed back the next sarcastic words, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car first, and headed towards the small villa that, although not big, looked extremely elegant. Walked over.
It was the last day of August. He and Nicole came to the seaside town of Santa Monica to visit the retired Dean Katie. After all, the old dean was the only one who truly cared and helped her when she was in the orphanage. His people also helped a lot in the subsequent lawsuit.
"Aunt Katie, I'm so glad to see you."
Although we occasionally communicated with each other, after not seeing each other for two years, the old dean looked much older, and most of his hair was gray.
"Ryan, you have grown taller and grown up." Dean Katie felt a little emotional. After the nanny served juice and coffee, she looked at Nicole, "I didn't expect that two years have passed in the blink of an eye, little one. Is this guy easy to take care of? With his temper and personality, he should give you a lot of headaches." "
Ms. Katie, we get along very well. Adopting Ryan is the most correct decision I have made in my life." Nicole laughed. He rubbed Ryan's hair and said, "Ryan is my only relative in the United States."
"That puts me at ease."
The old dean asked a few questions about Ryan's current situation, and chatted with Nicole for a while. , the energy was obviously low, Ryan and Nicole had to say goodbye, but before going out, she took Nicole and said, "Ryan is the smartest and most talented child I have ever seen. Take good care of him and let him Able to grow up healthily. If you have any difficulties that cannot be solved, just call me. Although I am old, I still have many relatives and friends." After
taking a walk on the beach in Santa Monica, I found another seafood restaurant. After finishing lunch at the store, Nicole drove Ryan towards downtown Los Angeles. He had an appointment in the afternoon at Wilson's lawyer's office.
Attorney Wilson is well-known in the greater Los Angeles area. Although his law firm can only be considered medium-sized, his business is pretty good and he rents a two-story office building near City Hall.
In a small closed conference room, two white men were waiting for him. The bald middle-aged man was Mr. Wilson, Ryan's lawyer, and the other tall, strong, brown-haired man who looked much younger was the man from last year. Mr. Wilson introduced him to stock and investment brokers.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Scott. We have talked on the phone many times, and I never thought you would be so tall." According to Ryan's visual inspection, this guy must be at least six feet three inches tall.
"Ryan, I also didn't expect that you are actually less than ten years old." Mr. Scott's expression was a bit exaggerated.
The next thing they talked about was related to investment. As a lawyer with excellent professional ethics, Mr. Wilson took the initiative to leave the meeting room. After Nicole sent him to the office building, he went to the fitness club and stayed there before the office got off work. Will come to pick him up.
"Mr. Scott, I heard Uncle Wilson say that you will return to New York soon?"
"That's right, I plan to return to Merrill Lynch in a few days, and may quit my current job."
"Quit your job? Why? "Ryan scratched his head and thought to himself, aren't you kidding me? It was so hard to find a reliable investment broker, but he actually wanted to make a lot of choices.
Mr. Scott smiled helplessly, but his smile was full of warmth and sweetness, "My wife is pregnant. I will be a father in December. We are preparing to return to Montgomery, Pennsylvania, to wait for the birth of the child." Birth."
"So that's how it is." Ryan muttered, and then said, "Congratulations, Mr. Scott."
Things were really troublesome. He had finally convinced Nicole, so should he just give up like this? Ryan rolled his eyes, "Mr. Scott, actually what you said is not inconsistent with what you want to do for me. You just need to make a sum of money for me and buy some stocks."
" In this case..."
After Ryan was fooling again... ah no, it was just a few words of persuasion, and what he was doing really didn't take too much time. Scott finally nodded in agreement.
"Wait, Ryan!"
Scott suddenly interrupted the frothing boy. Since entering this room, this boy has shown a precocity and wisdom that amazed him. It wasn't until this moment that he discovered, He is indeed still an innocent child.
"What's wrong?" What Ryan was showing off was the pitiful knowledge he saw on the Internet in his previous life, and he didn't understand why Scott interrupted him.
"Ryan, is the Cisco you are talking about a network equipment supplier?" After receiving Ryan's affirmative answer, Scott suddenly laughed, "Cisco is not on the market!" The
corners of Ryan's mouth trembled unconsciously. He stood up, his face covered with black lines. At this moment, he really wanted to run to the beach in Malibu, dig a sand pit and bury himself, God! He actually made such a big mistake. If those powerful people who are so awesome after time travel see it, they will definitely treat him as a joke for the ages.
"There is also Microsoft stock. Now almost all investors are optimistic about Microsoft's rising momentum. It is very difficult to absorb large amounts of Microsoft stock from the market. Then there is Apple..."
Scott briefly analyzed the financial and The more thoroughly he talked about the investment market, the more cold sweat broke out on Ryan's forehead, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.
Fortunately, I have some self-awareness, and I know that the knowledge about financial crises and currency wars that I read on the Internet in my previous life may not be reliable, and I have never thought that I can kill everyone with these. If he is really like those time-traveling heroes, If you go to shear sheep and speculate on yen dollars if you have a fever, one more person will jump off the Golden Gate Bridge.
All right! I'm not a business or finance guy at all. Ryan could only sigh. It was really embarrassing to have made such a big mistake. Fortunately, he was still a child and had developed his shame over the years. Otherwise, he would have been embarrassed. Fortunately, Nicole was not here, otherwise it would be guaranteed. He will use his guardian authority to control his money bag tightly.
"Is there no other way?" Ryan asked reluctantly.
"I will keep an eye on the market and try to absorb as much Microsoft stock as possible. And Cisco, I've heard people say that it is likely to go public next year. If you confirm that you want to buy its stock, I will try my best." Although Si Mr. Cote did not make any guarantees, but his words still showed a certain degree of confidence.
"That's it, let's call if you have any questions."
Ryan sighed, and that was all he could do. Anyway, buy as much as you want. It's better than keeping banknotes in your hands that will depreciate in value. Besides, these days, both Reliable and capable stock and investment managers are not easy to find. Not to mention those small companies, even among the large investment companies on Wall Street, scammers are everywhere.
If it weren't for Dean Katie and Wilson's lawyer's introduction, Ryan would never have trusted him. Even so, there would be no shortage of necessary supervision measures.
"Ryan, if you have the chance, you can come to Pennsylvania for a visit. I have a big farm there and you can ride horses." When leaving, Mr. Scott extended an invitation warmly.
"If I ever get to the East Coast, I'll definitely visit." Ryan responded with a bright smile.
To put it bluntly, the meeting in the afternoon hit Ryan to a certain extent and made him lose face. At the same time, it also made him understand himself more clearly and what kind of path is suitable for him. , and also completely threw some things from the past life out of the clouds.
The Plaza Accord, the Japanese Yuan Crisis, the Sheep Shearing Operation, the cutting of meat from the red bear, the Southeast Asian financial turmoil, the subprime mortgage crisis, all go to hell! I can just keep working on my own movies.
After returning home, Ryan sat at his desk and could only show a wry smile. His greedy heart had just begun to swell when he was mercilessly pierced by an awl.
In fact, as a human being in two lives, how could he not know that his most outstanding talent is artistic talent, and this life is several times better than that in his previous life, but people will always be blinded by greed and unrealistic fantasies. In a sense To put it simply, Mr. Scott Swift was the stick that fell on his head.
But, why do you suddenly feel that this name sounds familiar? Ryan scratched his head and threw the idea aside. He waved the pen and rustled it down on the paper.
The hot summer has come to an end. Ryan Jenkins, who transferred from London, entered an American campus for the first time. Nicole chose a private school for him called St. John's Elementary School. Don't be surprised. It was not a church school. Although he was reborn once, Ryan was at best an agnostic. If he was allowed to go to a Catholic school with strict rules, it would be easier to kill him.
"Ryan, get along well with your classmates at school. Don't always do strange things. If I am invited to the school by the principal, I will definitely send you to a boarding school. I swear!"
before sending Ryan to school. After arriving on campus, Ms. Nicole Kidman issued a warning firmly, even though she knew it would have little effect.
"Come on, Nicole, am I the kind of kid who doesn't know what to say?" As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Ryan started to retort like a reflex. "Don't worry, as long as those little brats and weird teachers don't mess with me, I won't be like them."
