I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

Fall in love with you, I look forward to my father Jackie Chan in 1988

into the night.

The sky is full of stars.

Ji Cheng is talking on the phone like in China.

"Lao Nan, how is the company doing recently?"

"Young Master Qin made a move, and I've been able to deal with it for the time being."

"Well, if there is anything, call me at the hotel as soon as possible."

"Okay, old Ji, how are you doing in the beautiful country?"

"Hehe, your relative helped me earn some money."

"Let me just say that my relative is very capable. You must listen to him."

Ji Cheng chatted with Ji Aiguo, Ji Qing and Liu Zhi for a while, everyone missed him very much, and he also missed everyone.

Hang up.

The price of making international long-distance calls in the Pretty Country Hotel is very expensive, and it is not included in the hotel accommodation fee. There is an additional price. Take the few minutes he just called, which is equivalent to the room fee for a day's stay.

In the past, Ji Cheng would definitely be reluctant, but who made him make a fortune in the futures market just now.

Being rich is just so capricious.

Not long after, Matthew and his driver drove to pick him up.

It was a Rolls-Royce. Of course, the Rolls-Royce produced in the late 80s couldn't compare to Ji Cheng's Phantom in every respect.

Ji Cheng and Matthew sat in the back.

The driver put down the sound barrier.

As soon as the car started, Matthew handed over two boxes and said with a smile, "It's for you."

Ji Cheng hasn't opened it yet, "What?"

"Mobile phone and bp machine." Matthew explained, "It's inconvenient for you to not have a mobile phone in the beautiful country. Jack and I can't find you."

Ji Cheng didn't refuse either. He opened the box and took a look. It was the latest Motorola mobile phone. It was not a big phone, but a micro-tac that was so small that it could be operated with one hand. It was a clamshell type.

He had seen this latest phone when he was wandering around the beautiful country store before, and it cost a whopping $[-].

Ji Cheng didn't refuse, "Thank you, Matthew."

"Hehe, when your company starts up, we must do more business." Matthew said with a smile.

Ji Cheng said, "Definitely."

Then he disassembled the bp machine, which also belonged to Motorola.

For example, the mobile phone and bp machine in the beautiful country are charged on a monthly basis. Matthew helped Ji Cheng apply for a number for this phone, and Ji Cheng only needs to pay the monthly fee.

Matthew added: "This mobile phone has a novel function."

Ji Cheng pretended to be very interested and said, "What function?"

"The phone book." Matthew urged him, "Open it and try it out, and store my number in it."

Ji Cheng turned on the phone and looked at it. It really has a phone book function. He couldn't help secretly praising Pretty Country for its advanced technology. When China was still using mobile phones, Pretty Country had already used mobile phones in a real sense, and the phone book function It's really convenient, he doesn't need to take a small notebook to record others every time, okay?

After trying a little bit, he quickly got started, which surprised Matthew next to him. After all, many people may not know how to use mobile phones now.

But Ji Cheng has used countless smart phones, how could he put such primitive and crude mobile phones in his eyes?

……

The car slowly drove into the depths of an alley in Manhattan, and drove into a luxurious single-family villa.

Ji Cheng glanced at it. Although it is the late 80s, Matthew's private villa is not much worse than the villas in modern society, at least the difference is not too big from the outside.

went inside.

In addition to the hundred or so employees of Erickson, there are one or two hundred unfamiliar faces. Not surprisingly, these are all clients of Erickson.

There is also a waiter who is invited from nowhere to deliver wine to everyone with a plate. A long table is placed in the middle of the villa, and it is full of all kinds of food.

As soon as Ji Cheng entered the room, he had a feeling that there were thousands of bottles of sake in gold bottles, tens of thousands of dollars in jade plates, dignitaries, wealth, and family status were all shining brightly, the cups were intertwined, the bells were ringing, the food was surrounded by smoke, singing and swallows were dancing, it was extremely luxurious.

The two shuttled through the crowd side by side, receiving all kinds of eager greetings from time to time.

"Mr. Ji, hello."

"Matthew, long time no see."

"Mr. Ji heard that you have high attainments in futures, you can give me some pointers later."

A large group of celebrities and socialites that Ji Cheng could only watch on TV before said hello to himself and Matthew.

Ji Cheng and Matthew responded one by one with a smile, and then came to the innermost part.

He carefully observed the feasting banquet. There were about two to three hundred people upstairs and downstairs, most of whom were holding wine glasses and whispering. There was no noise at all, and they appeared to be very qualified.

Although quality has nothing to do with money, people will naturally become quality when they have money.

In the small independent room, there are only seven or eight people here.

But Ji Cheng was shocked to see an acquaintance, Bill Gates!

You must know that although Bill Gates is not the richest man in the world today, he became the first billionaire in the PC industry as early as [-], and has a great reputation in the industry.

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Is Mr. Gates also a client of your company?"

Matthew said with a smile: "He is not a client of my company, but our company is his client. It happened that he was in New York this time, so I invited him together."

Ji Cheng suddenly realized that securities companies use a lot of computers, so it is not uncommon for them to be customers of Microsoft.

Later, Matthew introduced Ji Cheng to everyone, and introduced everyone to Ji Cheng.

Needless to say Bill Gates.

For example, the bald, thin, tall white man in his forties, named John, is an executive of Citibank.

Another Caucasian man in his 30s named Perez is the boss of a large chemical plant, and his net worth is said to have exceeded [-] million US dollars.

There are also several business elites, who are either shareholders of a steel factory worth tens of millions of dollars, or the boss of a machinery factory, and there is a white lady in her forties named Moore, who is said to be the major shareholder of a foundry. , worth not worse than Perez.

These are no ordinary people.

Ji Cheng knew them one by one.

Eventually, he chatted with Perez.

The two sat on the sofa, and Perez smiled and said: "Ji, I heard that you are very powerful in the futures market, can you recommend me to buy some futures?"

Ji Cheng glanced at Bill Gates, who was chatting with Ms. Moore, and then came back to his senses. He also smiled and said, "I am personally optimistic that crude oil futures will bottom out. If Mr. Perez is interested, he can try to buy Enter a little crude oil futures."

Perez said in surprise: "Crude oil futures have fallen so badly recently, do you still want to buy?"

Ji Cheng and him half-jokingly said: "How about we make a bet? If crude oil futures bottom out and rebound, you lose me one dollar."

"Haha, good." Perez said and thought of something again, "Are you from Huaxia?"

"That's right." Ji Cheng said proudly of his nationality, "I'm an upright Chinese."

Perez blinked and said, "I heard that labor and prices are very cheap in China?"

Today, the minimum hourly wage in Beautiful Country is US$[-], which is much higher than the daily wage of domestic workers.

Ji Cheng took a sip of the red wine and said, "The wages of the workers in Huaxia are only about 26 yuan per month, which is about [-] dollars converted into US dollars."

Perez's eyes lit up when he heard that, "You said if I opened a chemical factory in Huaxia, would I be able to save a lot of labor costs every year?"

Ji Cheng was moved by what he said. The domestic chemical industry is not very developed now. If he can attract some foreign capital to invest in the country, he will definitely be valued by the local people. At that time, he will be able to be favored by policies in whatever he does.

"Naturally, are you interested in investing in a chemical factory in Huaxia?" Ji Cheng offered to invite.

While talking, Ms. Moore and Bill Gates came over.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Ji, sit over there a little bit and make room for me. I want to chat with you about futures. I recently lost badly in the stock market."

The two also sat down, and Bill Gates was next to Ji Cheng.

Perez took the initiative and said, "Ji and I are talking about the cheap labor in China."

Ms. Moore's eyes lit up when she heard the words cheap labor, "How cheap?"

Bill Gates looked over curiously.

Perez said: "Ji told me that the monthly salary of workers in Huaxia does not exceed thirty dollars."

"My God, so cheap?" Ms. Moore was taken aback.

Bill Gates was also stunned, "The monthly salary is less than thirty dollars? How can the workers make enough to live?"

Ji Cheng explained the prices in Huaxia a little bit.

After listening to it, everyone suddenly realized how cheap China's prices are in the current era.

I don't know if it was because they chatted a little too loudly, but when the other people heard that China's prices and labor costs were so cheap, they all gathered around the sofa.

"It's really as cheap as you say?"

"If I go to open a steel factory, how much money can I save every year?"

"If you hire one worker in the beautiful country, you can hire dozens of workers in China."

A group of capitalists are excited.

Ji Cheng also strikes while the iron is hot and invites them to go to Huaxia for inspection, and if they think it's okay, they can invest a little bit.

Not to mention, two or three people really agreed, namely Perez, Ms. Moore and White, the shareholder of the steel plant.

They even made an appointment with Ji Cheng, saying that they would try to send a delegation there within one month after Ji Cheng returned to China.

Ji Cheng was also happy to contribute to the motherland, and expressed his willingness to entertain the delegation of these people well.

In the end, he took the mobile phone that Matthew gave him, and exchanged contact information with these rich people one by one.

Especially Bill Gates.

Ji Cheng didn't expect that he could get in touch with the world's richest man in the future.

At the end of the banquet, one of the executives of Citibank, John, heard that Ji Cheng was applying for a green card in the beautiful country, and even expressed his willingness to help him greet the Immigration Bureau, even the average person would spend tens of thousands U.S. dollars can be exempted from the immigration administration.

Ji Cheng thanked John again and again, he never thought that he would immediately solve a problem for himself just after meeting this group of celebrities in the beautiful country.

I have to say that connections are really important.

Tonight, he gained a lot of connections, even Bill Gates, which Ji Cheng knew would come in handy in the future.
