Chapter 274 Are You Interested?

ten minutes later.

In Su Chen's house, Brian sat across from him, talking eloquently: "Dude, I'm going to start a company..."

"The company you mentioned was not established with Billy, right?" Su Chen asked suspiciously.

Brian shook his head: "Is Billy going to start a company too? I don't know about it. I'm integrating some of my family's business recently, so I want to start a financial company..."

Even the financial company, Su Chen didn't want to complain, but the children of this kind of big family, just take out a little money to test the waters in the market, it is something that ordinary people may not be able to earn in their lifetime.

For example, the small target took [-] million to test the waters for Prince Wang.

"So, you are going to test the waters on Wall Street, right?" Su Chen said.

Brian nodded: "Yes man, you know, I can't do all kinds of software or electronic products like those guys from Massachusetts.

I can only engage in my field of expertise, providing consultation and trading to my clients, you know so much about the economy, I would like to invite you to join my company. "

This is really quite straightforward.

Su Chen thought for a while, and said: "Man, frankly speaking, I haven't decided whether to do this right now, and the market is changing so much that I can't just write two books to see through it.

But if you have a lot of funds and it is your personal investment, I have a few stocks that I can recommend to you. "

"Oh?" Brian leaned forward: "Tell me."

"Coca-Cola, Geely, according to my estimates, will definitely fall, and you can buy some at that time. In addition, a company called Microsoft is also preparing to go public. Although I don't know when it will go public, its shares are worth buying. .” Su Chen said.

What he said can make money, and it is his business whether Brian believes it or not.

但微软上市的时候，其净资产仅200万美元, 将后来的股价按派息和拆股调整收盘价计算，微软在1986年3月13日上市当天的股价仅为0.08美元。

However, by 2010, Microsoft's market value was 2700 billion, and its stock price had increased by about 28.87 times at 360 US dollars.

If you want to make money, this is definitely a good opportunity.

But investing is not something that others can believe in just a few words.

Brian thought for a while: "I heard that Buffett also bought shares in Coca-Cola and Geely. It's worth analyzing. I've heard about the Microsoft you mentioned. He used to be a student at Harvard, and now he's building a software company. A Windows operating system, but you can look at it."

After a pause, he continued, "Dude, I'm hungry, give me a hand..."

Su Chen hates the United States very much now, there is not even a decent Chinese restaurant, so these guys always come to him to eat and drink.

Miranda accompanied Brian to chat with his girlfriend Lisa in the living room, while Su Chen and Avril Lavigne were busy in the kitchen.

Fortunately, there are vegetables in the house, so you can get away with just a few small dishes.

……

After eating, drinking and packing their things, Brian and Lisa did not leave in a hurry.

Su Chen called Brian to the study on the second floor. After Miranda delivered the fruit plate and coffee, he went downstairs to accompany Lisa.

"Man, what kind of property does your family have?" Su Chen asked straight to the point.

Brian said: "Our family's industries are relatively old, such as the light textile industry turning to electronics, optics, space, and various electronic components and aircraft components."

"Well, it really is a big business." Su Chen smiled mysteriously: "I also plan to start a company recently, are you interested?"

"What company?" Brian asked suspiciously.

Su Chen said: "I haven't thought of it yet."

Brian: "..."

If you do business with the children of such a big family, if you are a partner, you may be eaten to nothing in the future, unless you have some industry that cannot be shaken by others, or have some core technology that cannot be imitated by others .

"Man, I'm serious. I want to open a financial company. If you are interested, I will definitely reserve a place for you." Brian said, "I believe that as long as you join us, we will be able to make a lot of money."

Su Chen sighed: "Brian, you think highly of me, let alone me in the financial market, even Buffett can't control it, so even if I join, I can't grasp the market, right?"

"That's true, but you can try anything."

Brian smiled, and continued: "If you want to start a company, what field do you plan to engage in? I have to say, no matter what kind of company you want to start, unless you are an American, otherwise..."

He didn't continue his words, but Su Chen already understood that if he was not an American, it would be difficult to pay taxes to the United States honestly.

Various measures to protect local enterprises can make your head big.

Bryan went on to say: "But you now have two American girlfriends. As long as you marry one of them, you can become an American. Furthermore, if you get a professor certificate from Harvard, it is also a matter of becoming an American citizen." It's an easy thing."

"Let's talk about this later." Su Chen had no idea about becoming an American citizen.

The two talked nonsense for a while, and Brian offered to leave.

Su Chen told him that there was a reception on Sunday, don't forget it, but Brian expressed no interest in it, if it was a commercial reception, he would go and see it.

But this kind of reception between literature is completely unnecessary.

After Brian left, Su Chen couldn't help rubbing his temples. If he wanted to start a company now, he could only wait for Tang Wanru to come over.

She is easier to operate, otherwise Su Chen can only be a student honestly.

Although papers have been published and books have also been published, some things cannot be changed in a short time.

……

……

Time soon came to Sunday.

In the afternoon, Su Chen, who was dressed neatly, went out with Miranda Avril.

Tonight's reception, he is the host, so naturally he can't arrive later than the guests.

When they arrived at the place, Miranda and Avril hurriedly checked the layout of the hotel to see if there was anything missing, so as to avoid any mistakes after the guests arrived.

Time flickered to six o'clock in the evening, Su Chen and Avril Lavigne came to the door, ready to welcome the guests.

The first one to come over was naturally Professor Ayler, and the barrister Clara also appeared together.

After inviting the two of them in, not long after, Ian also showed up with his female companion.

Then Professor Charlie, Professor Janet, and several professors who had met several times also appeared together. It is worth mentioning that Mankiw also came.

Because it's not a wedding, and there are no gifts, everyone is just here to have fun and get to know a few more people.

About fifty people came, most of them were elderly professors, and then there were some publishers and so on, basically all within the Boston area.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Su Chen, as the host, naturally wants to stand up and make a speech.

"Thank you for coming to this reception in your busy schedule. I am very honored. I am grateful to my teacher, Professor Eller, and Ian from Harvard Business School Press..."

Every time someone is mentioned, stand up and wave, and then sit down again.

"At the same time, I would also like to thank Professor Charlie, Professor Janet, Barrister Clara, and Mr. Mankiw..."

Su Chen read all the names of these people in a row, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he continued:

"Thank you for coming, and thank my girlfriends for their busy work for this reception. Everyone, I won't talk nonsense, so as not to delay everyone's drinking time."

Hearing this sentence, everyone burst into laughter.

At American receptions, there is no such thing as a hard drink to get you drunk, and most of them are just to the point where you stop.

Everyone ate and drank, got to know each other for a while, and made familiar faces.

Just as Su Chen was holding his wine glass and was about to find someone to brag about, the hotel waiter suddenly ran in and whispered in his ear: "Sir, there is a gentleman looking for you outside..."
