[Four Drive Brothers] Reshaping Reality

Brett, from NASA, the youngest Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Science, will be in charge of advanced mathematics and financial engineering courses for first-year freshmen in the next semester. Many years ago, he graduated from MIT as the chief. Two years ago , he participated in NASA's satellite design, but it is rumored that he stopped the astronaut training at NASA for unknown reasons...

"His appearance is extremely handsome, and he made his debut at the welcome dance last weekend, and he surprised everyone..." Zhou Yan put down the juice and whispered the lines that a group of girls on the table next to her would say.

Brett lowered his hat: "Can you guess what they said?"

Zhou Yan nodded helplessly. The school has been swept by rumors about Brett. Not only has she memorized the most widely circulated versions of the introduction, but she has also been stopped by dancers many times, asking her what the hell is with Brett? Brett what is the relationship.

But this time, the girls next to him didn't play their cards according to the familiar routine. "You said, was the girl who danced with Brett randomly selected by him, or did he know him long ago?"

A girl with a gossip magazine circulating in the school said: "The girl was sitting next to the bar, far away from the focus of the dance floor. If Brett was chosen at random, the probability of choosing her is not very high, so I tend to They've known each other for a long time."

A heartbroken voice rang out: "Could she be Brett's girlfriend? I don't believe it!"

A girl in hot clothes said: "Have you seen the girl? I heard she is an oriental?"

"The magazine said that this freshman in the Department of Finance has long black hair, black eyes, and a tall build."

Brett's eyes rested on Zhou Yan's face with interest, and before the group of people around could react, Zhou Yan pulled Brett up and fled.

Zhou Yan ran out of breath, and didn't stop until she was sure that no one would follow her: "I'm applying for a leave of absence from your financial engineering class on Tuesday."

Bret waved his hand: "I refuse."

Zhou Yan put one hand on her hip helplessly: "You know, if the two of us appear together, it will completely ruin your elegant classroom atmosphere."

Brett stroked Zhou Yan's black hair: "You have to believe in my teaching ability, and moderately active classroom atmosphere will help improve the learning effect."

"..." Well, anyway, Brett has his reasons.

On Tuesday, the much-anticipated financial engineering class finally arrived in this atmosphere of impending rain.Zhou Yan rushed to the classroom early, and in the eyes of everyone, Pratt sat next to Zhou Yan without fear of death.Zhou Yan turned her head in surprise, and looked at this classmate who had clearly said to keep a distance from her.Pratt smiled cheerfully and showed his white teeth: "I thought about it, I can't just admit defeat like this, I want to compete fairly with Brett."

Brett came in skillfully with the textbook, and the suppressed girl's exclamation resounded from all over the classroom, just like the reappearance of the dance party on the weekend.

Brett opened the textbook unmoved: "Hi everyone, from today onwards, I will be teaching your financial engineering class this semester. What I will tell you today is the concept of futures and options."

Brett turned on the projector and walked down the stage. Zhou Yan saw the girls around him all staring at him with mischievous eyes, she was fascinated.Zhou Yan laughed. For Brett, who attaches great importance to academic achievements, his class content is completely taken away by his appearance. For him, this is definitely not a good thing.

"Ian, I just finished talking about the concept of futures. Options are built on the basis of futures. Next, please guess what category options belong to based on the financial knowledge in your mind." At some point, Brett Already looked at her.

Zhou Yan was speechless. There were so many distracted people at the scene, why did she have to be operated on?Moreover, the only homework that Brett helped her preview was language and literature. He made it clear that he wanted to use her as an example to remind everyone to pay attention. He was really annoying!

Brett saw that Zhou Yan's face was normal, only the tight corners of her mouth revealed the entanglement in her heart.According to his understanding of Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan must have feelings at this time.Brett said softly: "It's okay, this is not a classroom test, you can make a bold guess, and it doesn't matter if you make a mistake."

"Oh, my God," a girl leaned on the person next to her intoxicatedly, "If I can be so gently comforted by Brett, it really makes everything worthwhile for me."

The memory transfer was successful.Fortunately, this question is not difficult. Zhou Yan finally remembered the concept of options she had learned: "Options are options that can be purchased or sold at the price agreed at the beginning after the buyer pays the option premium to the seller. a right to a particular commodity."

Brett applauded lightly: "Very good, it seems that Ian has been very diligent in previewing the class." Brett turned around and switched the projection on the screen to the next page, Zhou Yan sat down on her own in class. The business-like Brett was really scary, and she had to settle accounts with him in private.

"Although this concept sounds simple, it is actually not easy to understand. For me, I am willing to regard options as the only regret medicine in the world." Brett said, "Not only the prices in the financial market are changing rapidly, the long-term In our life, everything we encounter will never come again if we miss it. The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that it is impossible for a person to step into the same river twice, and the birth of options makes You won't miss what you want again." Zhou Yan watched Brett look at her with shining eyes, and she began to vaguely guess what Brett wanted to say.

"According to the concept Ian mentioned just now, if you are given a virtual option that can choose the subject matter at will, what do you hope to lock in?" Brett asked.

"Lock the first love, I want fifty first loves!" The answer of a boy in the front row caused the audience to burst into laughter.

"Lock up a childhood where you don't have to worry about anything. If you don't have to grow up, you won't face so many troubles." A girl replied with her chin resting.

Brett's footsteps turned one desk after another, and the atmosphere of lively discussion in the classroom continued.

After a while, Brett stopped in front of Zhou Yan's desk, and he finally said: "I believe that after the various versions of the rumors circulating in the school, everyone already knows most of my life experience. For me, The only thing I regret in my current life is that I once cut off contact with my very important people. Although we meet again later, I still hope that such a virtual option can really exist, even if It requires paying expensive fees or time, and I would like to go back to that time and buy back her [-]% happiness and shared experience without missing out."

The classroom fell silent, and Brett tapped Zhou Yan's desk lightly with his finger, as if touching her swollen heart at the moment, enough to shed tears instantly.

Scattered applause rang out, but Brett talked about the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Only the occasional emotional gazes were cast on her, reminding Zhou Yan that the one who only used to write papers back then The young man who came to express his love to her in such a tone can already talk about love in a serious manner in class.

This is really, the most romantic financial class she has ever heard.

Such episodes made the classroom atmosphere alive instantly. Even though Brett later described models and examples that were very difficult for beginners, the freshmen still answered enthusiastically.Brett wrote the solution on the blackboard in beautiful cursive fonts. When the bell rang, Brett turned around and said, "That's all for today. See you next Tuesday. Do you have any questions to answer?"

"Professor, can we sit in on your advanced mathematics courses in other colleges?"

Brett put away his textbooks: "If it doesn't affect your other course arrangements, you are welcome anytime."

"Professor, is the very important person you mentioned earlier your girlfriend?"

Brett looked at Zhou Yan with a smiling gaze, and the glued gaze attracted many people to turn their heads to look at her: "Yes."

"Professor, can I compete fairly with you?" Zhou Yan watched Pratt stand up in shock, and she couldn't bear to look directly at her face with her hands.

"Of course, I have never been afraid of competition, but I can give you a friendly reminder. You'd better hedge your risks in advance, and don't let your actions lower your grades. After all, during the exam, there are no options to let you You have a chance to re-learn." Brett seemed to have anticipated Pratt's question, speaking in an unwavering tone of professional vocabulary that was confusing.

Pratt sat down in shame, hands spread out: "I feel like I'm going to die."

Zhou Yan lowered her head under Brett's piercing gaze, she might as well wish for luck.

……

"Hugh, I'm going on a trip to the United States." There was an extra email from Mihaile in Hugh's mailbox, and the concise and concise style was not like Mihaile's usual style.

"Okay, have a good trip." Hugh quickly sent a reply, and before he knew it, it was time for Mihail to go to college.Mihail has participated in many four-wheel drive competitions in the United States. During the competition, he has already visited all kinds of travel holy places.Hugh learned from Brett that Ian had been by his side a long time ago, and estimated time, Ian should have already enrolled.The only reason Hugh can find is that Michael went to America to meet Ian.

Hugh tacitly understood the purpose of Mihail sending this email, probably Mihail wanted to invite him to go with him.Speaking of which, they had indeed not seen each other for many years.

But Hugh was sure that he would not look for her again, and if he wanted to meet, it must be Ian who came to look for him.
