My Age of Investment

  Chapter 86 Human Relationship

  I wandered on California Highway No.1 for a few hours, while driving, enjoying the scenery on the side of the road.

  Xia Jingxing regained some familiarity with driving, so he did not continue driving.

  It is not distressed oil, mainly distressed waist, driving is still very tired.

  After asking Liu Hai to eat seafood at a beach resort, the two went back home.

  A few days later, when Xia Jingxing made an appointment for the road test, Liu Hai again showed up at the road test site with his car.

  The car for the test must be inspected to confirm that there are no problems with the lights, horns, brakes, etc., or you cannot take the test.

   Liu Hai helped to do all these tasks, which saved Xia Jing a lot of work.

  The examiner will report the words one by one, turn left light, turn right light, emergency light...

  This is much simpler than the domestic exam. It is straightforward and rude, not an electronic sound: when two vehicles meet...overtaking the vehicle in front at night...when parking on the roadside...turn on the lights.

  No need to think, just follow the instructions.

  The simulated lighting is completed, and then start driving on the road.

  According to the instructions of the examiner, drive the vehicle to complete actions such as going straight, turning left, turning right, parking, and reversing.

  U.S. and China drive similarly, both are left-hand drive vehicles, and there are slight differences in traffic rules.

  The examiner mainly took the test: turn left at the green light to let go straight, turn right at the red light to let pedestrians, transfer right to turn left, stop at the Stop sign for three seconds, change lanes and do not step on the brake to slow down... and so on.

  These did not bother Xia Jingxing, and all passed smoothly.

  After passing the test, a photo was taken on the spot, and an official driver’s license was produced and issued.

   Liu Hai took the driver’s license and glanced at it, then smiled and said, “You can get the driver’s license really fast. What car are you going to buy next? Ferrari or Lamborghini?

  Someone I know is selling a car, and I can help you get a discount. "

  Xia Jingxing shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I have no interest in ordinary luxury cars, so let’s save more and try to get it right in one step."

   "Then what do you want to buy?"

   Liu Hai asked with a smile.

   "Buy a plane!"

   Liu Hai coughed twice, "Then you may get the wrong driver's license, you should get a flying license."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, I plan to take one in the future."

   "Brother, ambitious!"

   Liu Hai gave a thumbs up, but he didn't think Xia Jingxing was talking big.

  If Facebook is successful and Xia Jingxing becomes a billionaire, wouldn’t it be normal to buy an airplane?

  However, starting a business is not a simple matter, and no one knows the future.

  In addition, this brother is also very strong in stocks.

  He doesn't know the specific position, but he has made millions of dollars, which is certain.

  In short, in his opinion, this is a young man with unlimited potential and is worthy of friendship.

   "By the way, our First Securities organized a customer appreciation dinner the day after tomorrow, and we are preparing to send you an invitation letter. Would you like to come?"

   Liu Hai lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "All the people we invite are rich people with millions and tens of millions of dollars in positions in our company, and all of them are leaders among the Chinese in San Francisco.

  This is a good opportunity to get together, don’t miss it. "

  Xia Jingxing chuckled and shook his head, "Forget it, my little business, who knows you, and what kind of contacts can you make."

   Liu Hai gently shook his head, "Can’t say that, you look down on yourself too much.

  Whether it is to make millions of dollars in stocks, or to make an Internet company that raises 500,000 dollars.

  Any one can be taken out by others.

  The young Chinese in San Francisco, who are the same age as you, one counts as one, no one can compare to you.

Let me tell you, this dinner has a very high standard. The guests present include our First Securities Chairman Liu Jinhang, California’s first Chinese American State Senator Yu Yinliang, East West Bank President Wu Jianmin, Yahoo founder Yang Zhiyuan, Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun, and Microsoft Global Vice President President Li Guanfu, former chairman of the board of Guanqun Computers Wang Jialian, and Sybase CEO Cheng Shouzong...

  Xia Jingxing raised her eyebrows, “With such high standards, it feels like all the big Chinese and Chinese business people in the United States have gathered.”

   Liu Hai spread his hands, "Yeah, that's why I told you that there is a rare opportunity, and it’s okay to go up and get a familiar face!"

  I heard that there are also major customers from other states who come here to attend the dinner, and they don’t want to miss such a good opportunity to make contacts.

  Originally, based on your assets and reputation, you are not quite qualified to be invited.

  I told the supervisor that your family is very powerful in the mainland, and Facebook has been valued at tens of millions of dollars before the supervisor agreed to invite you to attend. "

  Xia Jingxing thought for a while, it seems there is some truth.

  Almost all of the stocks that can hold millions of dollars and tens of millions of dollars in First Securities are multi-millionaires, or even hundreds of millions of dollars in assets.

  Compared with others, my own assets of tens of thousands of dollars are not enough to look at.

  So, if you can attend the dinner, you can make money?

   "That line, let me join one, too. Thank you Haige for your help."

   Liu Hai waved his hand, "You don’t have to see outside, everyone is friends. I also see if you want to make a career in the United States, so I see if I can help you.

  If other people can't help me, I can only do what I can. "

   "Haha, I should still thank you."

  Xia Jingxing thought for a while, then asked, "Do I need to wear formal clothes?"

   Liu Hai nodded, "Of course, you won’t tell me no?"

  Xia Jingxing really did not, and did not conceal the facts, shook his head, "I haven't attended these more formal dinners, so I didn't care about it."

   "Then quickly buy a set! People rely on clothes, horses and saddles, and don't dress themselves up a little richer, how to make contacts?"

   Liu Hai smiled and said, “Anyway, I will often use it in the future. Buy a better set and treat it as an investment in yourself.”

Xia Jingxing frowned.

  It doesn’t cost much to buy a better suit, but all your money is in the stock market!

  NetEase’s current stock price fluctuates between US$14 and US$15, which is still a bit far from the price in his mind. It’s a pity to sell.

  You don’t sell stocks, you don’t have any money, you can’t get a thousand dollars.

Seeing Xia Jingxing's frown, Liu Hai smiled and asked: "What's the matter? Don't tell me that you don't have money? You don't have money yet, then we poor people really want to drink Northwestern."

  "All my money is in the securities account, and I only have more than 800 dollars.

  Do you know where to sell cheap suits? Take me to buy a set. "

  Xia Jingxing made a decision in an instant, there is no need to deliberately pack herself.

  It’s best to know one or two big people, but it’s okay if you can’t.

  Moreover, what people look at after all is the intrinsic value, not an expensive suit.

   Liu Hai understands the traditional virtues of diligence and thrift of the Chinese very much, but still cannot save some money.

  Wearing a cheap suit, ran to chat and laugh with a group of billionaires?

  This is a bit difficult!

  But he didn't say much, after all, everyone has their own ideas.

  He took Xia Jingxing to visit a few finished suit shops and tried a few suits. Xia Jingxing was not satisfied, either because the price was high or the style was not good.

   "Brother, this set is good, it suits you well. With your body like a hanger, the whole person looks very energetic."

  When Xia Jingxing tried a light gray suit, Liu Hai stood by the dressing mirror and commented.

  The young white saleswoman also nodded aside, full of praise.

  Xia Jingxing looked through the price tag, it was 750 dollars, which was a little expensive, and there was no money to buy leather shoes, so he took it off again and prepared to change one.

   "This is it!"

   Liu Hai saw that Xia Jingxing liked this suit, and directly helped make a decision.

   Then he asked the saleswoman to wrap it up in English, and the latter happily went to settle the bill.

  Xia Jingxing smiled bitterly and said in Chinese: "Brother Hai, forget it, let’s change one. If you buy this dress, you won’t have money to buy leather shoes."

   "It's okay, this dress will be my birthday present to you! I won't give it to you when you celebrate your birthday."

  After finishing speaking, Liu Hai ran to the counter to check out.

  Xia Jingxing didn't fight to check out, thinking in her heart how to pay this favor.

  Next, Xia Jingxing chose a pair of five-hundred-dollar leather shoes, settled the account, and finally got a set of clothes.

   Liu Hai drove Xia Jingxing to the station, poked her head out of the car window, and said to Xia Jingxing, who got off the car with large bags and small bags: “At seven o’clock the day after tomorrow, remember to go to the banquet on time and don’t be late.”

  Xia Jingxing nodded and smiled, indicating that he remembered, waved at him, and entered the subway station.

   Liu Hai watched the figure gradually disappear, start the car, and leave!
