MTL - America’s Road To Fame-Chapter 28 thirst for knowledge

"There is one more thing, Uncle Tom." William Chen thought of what he had thought a few days ago, and said to Tom, "I hope to find some bodyguards. I remember that Uncle John told me that the Drey family holds shares. The security company, can you tell him and help me pick a few reliable people."

There is no special vocabulary for "uncle" in English. Their cultural environment does not have a very detailed distinction between non-lineal relatives as in China, so whether they are uncles, uncles, uncles, or uncles, they are called Uncle. Here William Chen adds John in front of uncle, which naturally refers to his uncle.

In the memory of his predecessor, when he went to Hollywood at the time, his uncle once proposed to find him two trusted bodyguards to protect him, but the young William Chen refused this proposal and never found a bodyguard. . So now when he wants to find a bodyguard, he naturally needs a reliable person, and he immediately thinks of his uncle.

"Okay, I'll contact John and talk to him." After a moment of hesitation, Tom continued, "But I suggest you give John a call and talk, William, I know what you did to him when he was in Los Angeles. There were anger and complaints, but John really cared about you, and when your mother died, it hit him hard."

"I have no complaints, Uncle Tom, I understand that my uncle is for my own good, and I will call him." Although the consequences of what his predecessor created, he would bear the consequences, William Chen was speechless. But he wouldn't have any opinion on John Drey. The reason why he never called was just because those people were really unfamiliar to him and would feel embarrassed.

And at that time, William Chen suddenly found that he had traveled here, and he still hadn't adjusted his mentality well.

"It's great that you can think that way, William, John has been following you all the time. I believe he will definitely change his mind on you now." Tom said happily when he heard William Chen's words.

Next, William Chen called his uncle John. Seeing that it was William Chen's call, John Drey said to him, "William, I know everything recently. You have done a good job, and I am very pleased to see that you are working hard to make changes."

When he heard that William Chen wanted to hire bodyguards, he said very happily: "It's very simple. Our family has a security company with a stake in it, and finding bodyguards from there is safe and reliable."

The two didn't talk much on the phone. After John Drey asked William Chen specifically about the bodyguard's requirements, he said that he would immediately send someone to screen him and prepare a few candidates for him to choose at that time, and these people would definitely are the most reliable.

Later, Nielsen sent a message to William Chen, saying that he had found John Paulson and briefly introduced his current situation. Only then did William Chen learn that John Paulson, 45 years old, used to be the fund manager of a larger fund company, in charge of a fund, and had good performance.

John Paulson is very good at making profits by shorting. The fund he is in charge of was once a star fund manager when he shorted Asian assets during the Asian financial crisis in 1998 and achieved good returns.

However, William Chen learned from Nielsen that John Paulson's situation is not good at present. The fund he is in charge of has suffered very serious losses in the past two years. The reason is that John Paulson is very steadfast in his bearish view of real estate in the United States. Three years ago, he had expressed his views many times that the current American The real estate market is extremely risky, the bubble is serious, and it can collapse at any time.

Therefore, the fund in charge of him shorted bonds related to the American real estate industry with a very large proportion of funds. The results backfired. In the past two years, the American real estate market has not shown any signs of collapse, but has become more and more prosperous.

Therefore, the fund headed by John Paulson has suffered huge losses due to its firm shorting of the US real estate market, which eventually led to the fund's investors being extremely dissatisfied with this, believing that he had made a short sale in the last Asian financial crisis by shorting the real estate market. After tasting the sweetness, I am too obsessed with making profits by shorting. As a result, they withdrew their capital, and eventually the fund company he worked for also fired him.

Now John Paulson has made a major mistake in shorting American real estate before, so that no fund company dares to hire him. Therefore, he is still at home at this time.

Many investors are so realistic. When you can make money for them, they will sing you praises; but when you have caused them serious losses due to a certain error of judgment, they will not remember you. The profits you once made for them will only be obedient to you and let them lose money, and then they will leave without hesitation.

Hearing this, William Chen realized that if the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 2007 according to the history of his previous life, John Paulson would definitely be able to make a name for himself in World War I with his accurate predictions.

But now the world has made a strange change. The subprime mortgage crisis did not happen as expected. Therefore, John Paulson correctly predicted the occurrence of the subprime mortgage crisis in advance. But because he was too eager to short, the fund he was in charge of suffered heavy losses, which led him to fall into the current predicament and bear the infamy of a loser.

However, this is precisely a good opportunity for William Chen. If John Paulson is still a fund manager of a well-known fund company, he is in charge of a large-scale fund, with Chen William's current reputation and strength, it is difficult to attract him.

At that time, at most, he can only put his own funds into the fund he is in charge of. But in this case, the direction of his capital investment is still out of control, and it cannot be fully used in the right place. And now John Paulson is in the dilemma of no one being employed, which just gives Chen William the opportunity to use his income to perform short selling for himself against the upcoming subprime mortgage crisis.

Thinking of this, William Chen said to Nelson, "I'm very interested in this person. Please help me contact him and make an appointment. I want to meet him in person."

William Chen made such a request, and Nielsen naturally agreed. He has already found relevant information about John Paulson, so with the strength of Deloitte Consulting, it is not difficult to get in touch with him.

Next, Nielsen told William Chen about the initial contact with Twitter. At this time, Nielsen's team has contacted the management of Twitter by phone, and will make an appointment. Nielsen will lead the team to visit Twitter for an initial meeting to see if there is an overall acquisition of the company. possible.

For this matter, William Chen is not in a hurry, and the acquisition of a company is not as simple as many people think, and it is not urgent. Therefore, at this time, he temporarily entrusted this matter to Nielsen. The result of his first meeting.

Now William Chen has been studying for a month under Alice's guidance. So far, he has completed more than two-thirds of his basic course before enrolling in the Master of Economics. However, William Chen also discovered one thing. As the course progressed, Erica's dress became more and more bold.

It was like today she was wearing a light yellow shirt, a black short skirt and flesh-colored stockings. Such a suit can also be regarded as the professional attire of female teachers. But how William Chen sees this kind of dress is more like the feeling that most of them will appear in some kind of movie.

Erica's shirt is very light and thin, and you can faintly see a dark color that binds her broad mind. The short skirt is slim, which outlines the curve of her buttocks very well. As for the slender legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, people can't help but think of the strength of being clamped by them.

At this moment, she stood beside Chen William and explained the calculus problem to him. From Chen William's point of view, just a little to one side, you can see her beautiful legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings against Chen William, and even at the hem of the short skirt, you can faintly see the lace at the top of the stockings.

"Please pay attention to the class~www.novelbuddy.com~ William." It seems that he noticed Chen William's gaze, Erica's voice was a little cold, but his expression at this time was a bit of a smile. In this situation, Even more alluring.

Ha ha. Is this phishing enforcement? Chen William couldn't help slandering to himself. He naturally felt Erica's change, and now her attitude is even more meaningful. If this is a game, he feels that it will be more interesting to take it slowly. If the result is obtained too early, it will lose a lot of fun. Since this is the case, William Chen is not opposed to cooperating with her to perform.

"Sorry, Mr. Erica, I just have a sudden thirst for knowledge. I'm very curious about the material and feel of this sock. You know, after all, I have never been exposed to these related knowledge." Since I was ready to cooperate with her During the performance, William Chen said to Erica with a simple look on his face.

"I said William, just call me Erica."

"But, Mr. Erica, don't you think calling you a teacher can better reflect my respect for teachers?" William Chen said to her with a charming smile on his face.

"Oh? Is that so?" Erica said to William Chen with a serious face: "However, it is a good thing to have a thirst for knowledge, but William, you must know that we are taking a calculus course now, please pay attention to the lecture. Don't. Think of something else."

When she saw a somewhat disappointed expression on William Chen's face, she suddenly smiled charmingly and said in a slightly low voice, "Unless, you can get an A+ on this paper."

William Chen saw that she took out a test paper from her folder and put it in front of him. He smiled: "Mr. Erica, you should believe my thirst for knowledge."
