American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

It's worth mentioning that the two little ones also prepared breakfast for Nidi, who had spent the night in the living room.

Are you my sister's boyfriend?

Seeing Mike come out, Katie, the younger of the two little ones, asked curiously.

Meanwhile, the two mischievous little ones also secretly glanced at Nidi, who was eating breakfast expressionlessly next to them.

Mike was a little confused; what was the relationship between him and this cold-faced older sister?

Children have very sensitive intuition.

They could sense that Nidi looked at Mike differently than she did at others.

"Let's just say I'm your sister's boyfriend!" Mike explained to the two kids with a smile.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mike wouldn't mind having another beautiful girlfriend.

Moreover, he was very satisfied with Tina's performance last night.

"You really are my sister's boyfriend!!!"

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the two little ones exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their faces showing joy that their older sister had found such a wonderful boyfriend.

After all, Mike doesn't look like an ordinary person, either in appearance or clothing.

His demeanor is far beyond that of ordinary people.

With the "brother-in-law" connection established, the two little ones became even more affectionate towards Mike.

Next, the two little ones enthusiastically prepared breakfast for Mike.

A huge bowl of oatmeal and a big apple.

"Are you at work too? I mean, you don't look very old, you even look a little younger than our older sister..."

What followed at the dinner table turned into an "interrogation" session.

Jerry and Katie, those two little ones, were just too curious about their sister's boyfriend.

……

In her small room, Tina, exhausted from a night's work, was awakened by the noise from the living room.

She lifted the blanket, carefully tucked away the blood-stained sheet underneath, and then squinted as she walked into the living room.

"Alright, Jerry Katie. You've got too many questions." Tina, who had just stepped out of the room, happened to see her younger siblings chasing after Mike with questions.

Seeing that Mike wasn't impatient, her expression softened slightly. Then, she deliberately put on a stern face and said to her younger siblings, "Hurry up and eat. Don't forget you have to go to your weekend tutoring classes!"

Unlike public high schools that emphasize a joyful education, Tina sent her younger siblings to private high schools that implemented an elite education system so that they could have a bright future.

At the same time, in order to improve the success rate, private secondary schools have adopted a more rigorous teaching style, including weekend tutoring.

Because of the unexpected addition of Mike to the household today, Jerry and Katie wasted a lot of breakfast time.

They were about to miss their regular school hours.

"Ruined!!!"

After being reminded, the two little ones, who also realized they were going to be late, exclaimed in surprise and quickly finished their oatmeal porridge.

Then the two of them simultaneously put the apples on the table in their pockets, blinking at Tina, wanting her to take them to school.

The two kids attend a private community high school, which is quite a distance from here. If they walk to school now, they will definitely be late.

Just as Tina was about to leave, unable to resist her younger siblings' pleas, Mike said, "You get some rest. I'll take care of taking them to school!"

Tina, who had just gone through a fierce battle, still looked very tired.

Without waiting for the woman's reply, Mike told Nydy to take the two little ones out the door.

“I’ll tell you more about your job later. Also, here’s your advance salary for this month and next month…” After the two of them were left in the room, Mike casually took out a stack of US dollars.

Although this behavior is vulgar, Tina really needs this money right now.

Tina, who had completely surrendered herself to the man in front of her, hesitated for a moment before taking Mane from his hands.

Then, he gave the other person a big hug.

After Mike went out, he saw two little ones exclaiming in surprise around the Tesla luxury car parked at the door.

He looks very energetic!

Not long after, with a loud roar, Jerry and Katie stepped out of the Tesla luxury car in front of the William Private School, amidst the astonished gazes of their friends.

Goodbye, brother-in-law!

Having gained some prestige at school, Jerry and Nydy politely waved goodbye to Mike, who had brought them there, before happily running into the school gate.

"Mike, the Jordan you asked me to keep an eye on seems to be making a big move..." Mike, who was on his way back to his luxury villa, unexpectedly received a call from Chris from the company.

Jordan Belfort! The Wolf of Wall Street!

This person possesses exceptional eloquence and an extraordinary business acumen.

It can definitely be used as a business trend indicator.

On the phone, Chris continued, "According to the information I've gathered, it seems they're no longer content with being a stockbroker and are now preparing to take a small shoe company public..."

Going public? Issuing shares? Cashing out?

For Jordan, whose assets are less than ten million, the risk of completing this process is extremely high.

"Organize the information about Jordan. I'll go to the company in a bit, and we'll talk then." The business world is like a battlefield, and situations can change in an instant. It's impossible to explain everything clearly over the phone, so Mike decided to go to the company and meet with Collison.

On the other hand, after being a hands-off boss for so long, he really needs to go and observe his own company.

……

"Mike, this is Caroline. Do you remember our appointment yesterday?" Mike had just hung up on Chris when he received another call from the eldest daughter of the Channing family.

You could tell from her tone that the young lady who had been stood up was full of resentment.

"I'm sorry, Caroline. Something urgent came up last night, and I missed our date..."

Mike said insincerely, "How about we reschedule our date for today? I'll come see you after I finish what I'm doing."

Caroline, who is currently only a "pretty face," is not worth Mike's time and effort.

Under Caroline's guidance, the way the two interacted became more like a "fairytale".

To McFor, it felt like playing house with a little princess in an ivory tower.

"Today?" Caroline said with a hint of arrogance on the phone, "If you insist, then let's reschedule our date for this afternoon..."

"By the way, are you having any trouble? Do you need any help?"

In a luxurious detached private villa in the affluent area of ​​Apple City, Caroline sat in front of the mirror, "domineeringly" setting a date time, a hint of smugness unconsciously appearing on her face.

Then, the girl looked at herself in the mirror and saw faint dark circles under her eyes, and her expression became distressed again.

This is Mike's fault too.

Because of his failure to show up last night, Caroline, the rich heiress, didn't sleep well all night.

"It's settled then," Mike readily agreed. "My business is almost finished, so don't worry. See you this afternoon!"

……

Chapter 373 Bubbles (Continued)

"Is that our boss? He looks really young!"

"And he's very handsome..."

Although Mike rarely visited his King Investment Company, the employees knew from Chris's account that he had a young, big boss.

What surprised them was that the behind-the-scenes boss was so young and handsome.

A perfect example of a winner in life!

After watching Mike go to the supervisor's office, the employees couldn't help but gossip. The female employees, in particular, were the most excited.

"It's working hours now, everyone please concentrate!" Jesse, dressed in business attire and on her way to deliver coffee to Mike, reminded the employees who were slacking off as she passed by the staff office area.

Because of her "close" relationship with Mike, Jesse held a relatively high position in the company.

Having majored in economics, she has fully adapted to her work here.

Judging from the employees' reactions, she even established her authority within the company.

"Donnie Azoff, it was he who recommended Steve Madden's small shoe factory to Jordan. The three hit it off immediately and are now preparing to take the small shoe factory's shares public..." In the general manager's office, Chris was standing in front of a small blackboard covered with photos of people, introducing the information he had to Mike.

Jordan Belfort, as a future trendsetter on Wall Street, certainly possessed a very charismatic personality.

So much so that Doni Azoff, a brilliant salesman, after witnessing his abilities, resolutely quit his original job and devoted himself to "starting a business" with him.

And Steve, the owner of the small shoe factory they were planning to operate in, was Donny's childhood friend.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Steve probably never imagined that Donnie and Jordan were only planning to "make a quick buck" and then run away.

This small business owner, kept in the dark, is probably still grateful to his childhood friend for helping him develop his small shoe factory.

"In your estimation, when will their small shoe factory's shares be listed on the stock exchange?" Mike asked after understanding the general situation.

"Judging from Jordan's current promotional progress, the shares of that small shoe factory will conservatively be listed by the end of next month, or it may be at the beginning of next month..." Out of caution, Chris did not dare to give a definite answer.

Perhaps they sensed that the US economy was expanding too rapidly, like a colorful bubble that was ineffectively inflating.

She may be beautiful on the outside, but she is already overwhelmed inside.

Therefore, Jordan's decision to "make money" this time was very quick, firm, and reckless.

It gives the impression that they're going to call it a day after this one job.

Before long, he had won over a large number of middle-class entrepreneurs and some middle-class families who dreamed of getting rich through his excellent eloquence.

"So that means that small shoe factory could go public in about ten days..." Mike muttered to himself for a moment, then said, "Hey Chris, I have some spare cash here. You see, if the opportunity arises, we can get involved too..."

After saying that, he gestured to Nidi, who had come with him, to open the huge travel bag she had brought.

As the travel bag was unzipped, stacks of neatly arranged large-denomination US dollars appeared before everyone's eyes.

It's nearly 100 million US dollars, roughly two cubic meters in volume. It's only thanks to Nidi's exceptional physique that she could lift something so heavy.

This money was the spoils Mike brought back from Stanley's house, the "Green-Faced Man".

Having few other uses for his money, he decided after careful consideration to continue investing it in the company, hoping it would generate more money.

"This..." Even Chris, who had moved into a house on Wall Street, was so shocked by the vast amount of cash in front of him that he was almost speechless.

Chris had initially wanted to ask Mike how the other party had obtained so much money. However, after a moment's hesitation, he wisely skipped this "foolish" question.

“No problem, with this money, I’ll keep a close eye on Jordan’s moves. If necessary, I’ll step in and get a piece of the pie…” As a former economic advisor, Chris has no shortage of a knack for making money.

He could tell that Jordan's move this time would definitely make him a lot of money.

"You can handle the investment yourself. But remember to keep an eye on Jordan for me. If nothing unexpected happens, he's an invaluable talent..." Mike values ​​Jordan's unique talent more than making money from a project.

After reminding Chris of the priorities, Mike continued, "Also, from now on, I want you to gradually stop our investments in real estate. At the same time, shift your focus to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in the real economy, such as those in the food, healthcare, and retail sectors."

The current economic growth of the United States relies most heavily on inflated housing prices.

Anyone with common sense can see that an economic bubble built solely on housing prices is like a castle in the air that will eventually "explode."

Getting out before the housing market and economy collapse is definitely a wise choice.

Jordan did a great job in this regard, focusing on the real economy, such as the shoe industry.

Of course, his vision was still not far-reaching, as he only intended to make a quick buck.

He only saw that the collapse of the real estate economy would affect other industries. He failed to realize that even during an economic recession, people still need basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare.

During special periods, the resilience of small and medium-sized enterprises in this sector to the risks of the overall environment will exceed people's imagination.

“I was just about to tell you this too. The inflated housing prices are making me very uneasy. I’m planning to sell some of the properties we acquired at low prices before they drop.” Clearly, Chris is also a smart man and has already sensed the signs of an impending “storm.”

"I trust you to handle things," Mike smiled, giving the other party full affirmation.

Just then, Jesse walked into the office carrying a cup of coffee he had carefully prepared.

"God! What's going on here~" Jesse, who had just entered the room, immediately saw the huge, exaggerated bag of mane on the ground.

It's no wonder the girl was so surprised; having 100 million in cash right in front of her was simply too shocking.

Mike took the coffee from the girl, took a sip, and instead of explaining where the huge sum of cash came from, he briefly recounted the conversation that had just taken place in the office.
