Chapter 700 Is this a drinking addiction?

  When he left Chinatown in the afternoon, Liu Qingshan was still in a very good mood.

   There are a total of more than forty pieces of high-quality porcelain, and more than twenty pieces of ancient calligraphy and painting, which are what Aaron and Pember have harvested during this period.

   As for the price of more than five million US dollars, Liu Qingshan thinks it is too worthwhile.

  If it is placed in decades, perhaps a piece of porcelain, a piece of calligraphy and painting, if you want to return it smoothly, you may have to pay this price.

   When he was going to go back, he packed these items well and brought them back to China.

   At noon, Aaron and Pember were treated to a Chinese meal, and then they were paid 50,000 US dollars each.

   This remuneration was also set by Du Yunfeng, basically 1% of the handling fee.

  During the meal, Liu Qingshan also entrusted these two people. If there are some items worth collecting from abroad when participating in the auction, such as oil paintings, they can also be photographed.

   Taking advantage of the low price now, it is good to hold it in your hand and exchange it in the future.

   Aaron Hao complained: In many auctions, there are little devils running out to raise the price.

   This was also a normal state at that time. The islanders in this period were very crazy. They waved banknotes and wanted to buy the whole world.

  The landmark buildings in many cities in the United States have not been bought by them.

   There are also some established companies in the United States, and those big consortiums of the islanders, who have also poured in hundreds of millions, billions, or even billions of dollars to make acquisitions.

  This kind of thing actually shows the shrewd side of the island people. They also know that the domestic bubble economy will go wrong sooner or later, so they transfer assets overseas.

  Even if there is a recession in the country, you can continue to enjoy dividends abroad.

  So it seems that people are stupid and have a lot of money, but in fact things are very complicated.

  Liu Qingshan also kindly comforted Aaron, telling him not to get angry with the island country buyer.

  Liu Qingshan knows that the island country will not be able to hop for a few days, and will soon spit out what he ate. At that time, he might be able to get a bargain.

   Coming out of Chinatown, I happened to buy some food. This afternoon, Qian Yuzhen and Hong Yunsheng are flying over.

  Back to the apartment of the second sister, the couple had already arrived, and they were sitting there chatting with Grace. As for the second sister Liu Yinfeng, there was no one, probably in the library.

   "Brother Hong, sister Yuzhen, you two seem to be getting younger and younger!" Liu Qingshan and the two hugged each other.

  Hong Yunsheng laughed. During this period of time, he really felt like he had rejuvenated himself, and he became more confident.

  Qian Yuzhen's changes are obviously greater, she is full of charm, and possesses the powerful aura of a successful woman.

  Anyone who can always control a huge wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars will develop a strong psychological quality.

   "Our Sanfeng is getting more and more handsome."

  Qian Yuzhen pointed to a newspaper on the table. It was a local newspaper in Los Angeles today. The headline on the front page was Liu Qingshan waving a drumstick vigorously.

  Hong Yunsheng also gave a thumbs up: "Qingshan, when we came, we were sitting on the plane, and there were two white girls beside us, and they were still discussing the issue of marrying you."

   "Brother Hong, let's not talk about this first, is the company going well?" Liu Qingshan quickly changed the subject.

  In this era, although Laomei always emphasizes that there is no discrimination, in fact, there are still very few American girls who are really willing to marry Chinese.

  Qian Yuzhen is also like a sister doting on her younger brother: "Yes, we Sanfeng don't look for those foreign girls, let them be greedy!"

   "Ahem, please pay attention to how I feel." Grace pretended to complain.

  Everyone laughed a few times before Qian Yuzhen reported the situation of the investment company to Liu Qingshan.

  After the miserable Black Monday last year, the U.S. stock market fluctuated repeatedly for several months, which brought the best opportunities for investment companies to buy bottoms.

   Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qian Yuzhen and Hong Yunsheng bought a large number of high-quality stocks, mainly Microsoft and Coca-Cola, and spent a total of nearly 600 million.

  As for the income, it is also quite impressive, and the current market value has exceeded one billion US dollars.

   Less than a year, this income is really scary.

   That is to say, after the stock market crash in 1987, when others were fearful, you had the opportunity to be greedy.

  It is expected that Coca-Cola will have four to five times the rate of return in the future. As for Microsoft, this emerging technology stock, it is difficult to predict.

  Liu Qingshan knows that, in fact, the value of Coca-Cola's stock can increase by about eight times.

  Warren Buffett, the stock **** who came later, achieved rapid wealth appreciation because he bought the bottom of Coca-Cola in 1988.

   It is estimated that the famous saying of the stock **** started to be inspired at this time.

  In the next few decades, every time there is a financial crisis or economic crisis every ten years or so, the stock gods will take advantage of the trend to buy bottoms, thus making a lot of money.

  In addition to the investment in the stock market, the rest is mainly used in two movies, Jurassic and Big Ship.

   It’s just that these two films are relatively difficult to produce. Jurassic is limited by the lack of good application of computer special effects, so the production cycle is relatively long.

  As for the big ship, the cycle is longer, and the ship has not been built yet.

   The teams of Hong Yunsheng and Qian Yuzhen now doubt whether there will be problems with the two investments.

  Liu Qingshan knows it well, although the cycle is a little longer, but the return is also high.

   After chatting about work, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. This made Grace so happy that she also went into the kitchen to work. She likes to eat Chinese food made by Liu Qingshan the most.

   Liu Qingshan thought the girl was in the way, so he kicked her out of the kitchen.

  Actually, Liu Qingshan has some confidential matters that need to be discussed with Qian Yuzhen alone.

  The dinner was of course very sumptuous. When Liu Yinfeng came back, the food had already been finished, and she and Grace could only set the tableware.

   "Finally we can enjoy a big meal." Grace clapped her hands excitedly.

  Liu Qingshan glanced at her: "Then sit down and eat quickly."

   "I can eat standing up, um, I eat more standing up." The girl also explained, her face flushed slightly.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help laughing in his heart: It's probably the sequelae of eating too much hot sauce yesterday.

  The next day, Qian Yuzhen and the others were sent away, and Liu Qingshan went to UCLA to visit Professor Peter with a gift.

  Professor Peter was still busy in the office. When he saw Liu Qingshan, he immediately showed a happy smile and opened his arms.

   "Professor, didn't you take a break during the holiday?" Liu Qingshan put the gift on the job.

   "Make something for an old friend." Professor Peter responded, and excitedly went to check the gift brought by Liu Qingshan, then shook his head again and again:

   "Oh, Liu, why is there no Munk and Taige wine here, huh?"

  Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was monkey wine and tiger bone wine. When Professor Peter went to Peking University last time, Liu Qingshan brought some back for them.

   Is this a drinking addiction?

   "Everyone said that your Taige wine is very good." Professor Peter winked at Liu Qingshan.

   Well, at Professor Peter's age, he really needs to make up for it.

  Using traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning is better than eating that little blue tablet.

  Wait, Liu Qingshan suddenly had a flash of inspiration: It seems that the effect of the small blue tablet has not been developed yet.

  Liu Qingshan later read an interesting article, which introduced this medicine.

   It was originally called sildenafil, which was used by Pfizer to treat heart disease because the drug can speed up blood flow.

   But later, it was gradually discovered that this drug can speed up blood flow, but it all flows down.

  Foreigners are just ignorant, and they don’t even understand the reason why water flows downhill.

   In 1991, it began to enter the clinical trial stage.

  The trials worked so well that the experimenters were not even willing to hand over the rest of the pills in the end.

   It’s just in terms of function, hehe, it’s completely gone astray.

  Thus, the real efficacy of this small blue tablet was developed, and then it created tens of billions of dollars in profits for Pfizer.

  This year is only 1988, Liu Qingshan felt that if he had started earlier, he might be able to cut off the Hu.

  Yes, this matter must be recorded in a small notebook and treated as a major event.

  Perhaps, you can apply for a patent and register it first. Even if you don’t produce it at that time, you can still receive the patent fee.

   After chatting with Professor Peter for a while, Liu Qingshan finally promised that when the dumb grandfather came over, he would help Professor Peter and his group of middle-aged and elderly people prepare some tiger bone wine, and then he was released by the professor.

   As for whether Professor Peter and the others can get tiger bones, don’t worry about Liu Qingshan, none of those old guys are short of money.

   And the remaining auxiliary medicinal materials can be gathered in the Chinese medicine shop in Chinatown.

  Walking around the campus, Liu Qingshan found out about the restaurant where Xiao Zihou worked part-time, so he looked for it.

  Xiao Zihou is a classmate who came to this school with Liu Qingshan to study abroad. When Liu Qingshan saw him, this guy was washing dishes in the back kitchen.

   "Old Xiao!" Liu Qingshan yelled, Xiao Zihou raised his head and stared at Liu Qingshan blankly, probably a little bewildered.

  Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and he jumped up with a strange cry, but with a crash, several plates fell to the ground.

   "Oh, Xiao, this is your mistake at work, and I will deduct it from your salary."

  The boss with a big belly, with a greasy smile on his face, was not merciless when he withheld the money.

  Old Xiao put his head in his hands, muttered "black-hearted capitalist", and then rushed towards Liu Qingshan with his teeth and claws.

  When I got to the front, I realized that I still had a layer of foam on my hands, so I looked at Liu Qingshan and laughed.

  Liu Qingshan took the initiative to hug and patted the other person's back. He could feel the ribs on Lao Xiao's back: "How is it, Lao Xiao, how are you doing?"

  Xiao Zihou is quite optimistic: "Hey, it's a bit hard, but if you grit your teeth and persist for two years, you can go back."

   "Qingshan, you are still the best, you will graduate in one semester, and you will become the idol of foreign students!"

   Just chatting for a few words, the greasy boss' voice floated over again: "Xiao, you are working now."

  Old Xiao's face suddenly collapsed: "Qingshan, I still have an hour to get off work, you wait for me, I finally caught you today, I must eat you!"

  He also knew something about Liu Qingshan from the newspapers, so he said such things.

  Old Xiao was actually very moved in his heart. Liu Qingshan came here to find him, which already explained everything.

  Liu Qingshan patted him on the shoulder: "You don't need to wait, tell that guy that you resigned."

Resign?

  Old Xiao is a little dizzy, and he plans to use the summer vacation to earn living expenses for the next semester.

  But Liu Qingshan must listen to what he said, so he took off his overalls and threw it to the greasy boss:

   "I quit!"

   After saying these words, Old Xiao suddenly felt that the whole person was extremely transparent.

  The boss shrugged his shoulders, almost throwing out two taels of fat:

   "Then you don't even think about receiving this week's salary. By the way, you still need to compensate me fifty dollars. These broken plates are very expensive."

   "Shut up, you bastard, quickly settle my friend's salary, and we will compensate you for these dishes, otherwise, I will call a lawyer to come and reason with you."

  Liu Qingshan finally couldn't help it. Although this kind of situation may be normal among foreign students, he didn't allow such a thing to happen in front of his eyes.

  The Greasy Boss whistled: "Well, I don't mind taking you to court if you can afford the legal fees."

  Liu Qingshan also laughed angrily at this guy, took out the cellular phone from his bag, and pulled out the antenna.

   At this time, a chef held a newspaper in his hand and approached the boss: "Look at the man in the newspaper, he is very similar to the man now."

  In fact, when Liu Qingshan took out his cellular phone, the boss realized something was wrong.

  Big Brother is not only a symbol of status and wealth in China, but also in the United States.

   "The newspapers say that this man is a millionaire and can easily take down a professional boxer."

  The words of the chef made the fat on the greasy boss tremble a few times, and he tried his best to squeeze out a flattering smile: "Sau Rui, I will settle the wages for Xiao right now."

   Taking the money out of the restaurant, Xiao Zihou couldn't help laughing a few times. In the laughter, there was joy, but also sadness.

  Liu Qingshan can understand the hardships of an ordinary foreign student. In fact, it is precisely because of this huge gap that more than half of the foreign students choose to stay here.

   "Old Xiao, I want you to do something for me."

  Liu Qingshan had already made plans when he came, and he also knew that Xiao Zihou was a reliable friend.

  Old Xiao nodded: "As long as I can do it."

   "It's very simple. I'm going to set up a non-governmental organization to support international students, similar to the aid society, but I don't have time to manage it."

  Liu Qingshan looked at Xiao Zihou, and said his plan.

  Xiao Zihou couldn't help but tremble, and his entire face turned red from excitement.

  Only by experiencing it personally can we know the hardship and sadness of international students.

  No one wants to wash dishes and do odd jobs. With such precious time, is it not good to spend it on studies?

  But the reality is so cruel, forcing you to have no choice.

   After calming down, Xiao Zihou asked, "What are your requirements?"

  Liu Qingshan patted Xiao Zihou on the shoulder: "The request is very simple, just a few sentences, learn something, and return home after learning."
