Chapter 2722 2724【Do as the Romans do】

  After the Jin family settled in Stockholm, everyone didn't go out much at first.

   After all, I am not familiar with the place, even the language.

  The official language of Sweden is Swedish. In addition, Finnish, Norwegian, English, French, German, Russian, etc. are also spoken, but they are not popular.

  As for Swedish, even Xiang Nan only understands it a little, not at the level of a proficient conversation. These are just a few sentences he learned in Sweden when he was traveling around the world in "Little Willingness".

  As for Jin Quan, Mrs. Jin, Jin Fengju, Bai Xiuzhu, Leng Qingqiu, etc., they don’t even understand, so they also have to learn.

  For this reason, the Jin family specially hired tutors to teach everyone in the Jin family to learn Swedish together so that they can better integrate into Swedish society.

   Learning a foreign language is definitely a daunting challenge for others.

  Because people like Jin Fengju, Wang Yufen, Bai Xiuzhu, etc. are not very fond of studying, so it’s okay to let them play mahjong, listen to a ditty, or watch a movie.

  If it comes to learning, it really kills them.

   Therefore, it is quite difficult to learn, and it takes a long time to memorize a few words.

  In comparison, Xiang Nan learned Swedish much faster.

  First of all, he has the ability of photographic memory, so memorizing vocabulary is really easy for him. In less than a week, he had memorized a huge Swedish dictionary by heart;

  Secondly, Xiang Nan's learning talent is already high. In addition to his own superior IQ, he also inherited Cheng Jianjun's learning talent. He has mastered such a difficult craft of imitating porcelain in less than half a year. The porcelain produced is so lifelike that even Han Chunming almost punches his eyes. This talent is really quite remarkable.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan has mastered Swedish proficiently in less than half a month.

   But he didn't show it clearly, after all, everyone hasn't started yet, and he doesn't want to show too much attention.

  …

  After learning Swedish, Xiang Nan reads books and newspapers every day, especially paying attention to the Swedish stock market.

  Stockholm Stock Exchange, founded in 1863, is the largest stock exchange in Northern Europe, with a daily turnover of more than five million Swedish kronor, equivalent to about one million US dollars.

  Xiang Nan knew that a man should not be without power for a day, and a man should not be without money for a day.

  The Jin family is basically unemployed now, and all the family properties added up are only about a million yuan. This money seems to be a lot, but it is not enough.

   After all, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

  The Jin family now has a population of more than 40. They eat, drink, eat, drink, eat, live, and travel for a year, and they can barely hold a hundred thousand oceans. If it doesn't make money, such a big family may not be able to survive for three to five years, and it will be forced to fall apart.

  As for the three brothers Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen, it's not that Xiang Nan doesn't look down on them, they are all not material for making money.

  They don't even have the ability to support themselves. If the family property is exhausted, the three of them may end up begging for food.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan must support this family. And to support this family, making money is a must.

   Fortunately, making money is not difficult for him.

  …

   "Yanxi, you still read Swedish newspapers, can you really understand them?" Bai Xiuzhu asked with a smile.

"You have to read it if you don't understand it. Didn't you hear what the teacher said, reading local newspapers is one of the fastest ways to learn the local language." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "After I can read newspapers proficiently, my Swedish will also be able to read. It can be practiced."

   "Oh, I knew Swedish was so difficult to learn, we might as well go to the United States." Bai Xiuzhu curled her lips and said, she still has a certain foundation in English, and she can speak Japanese fluently.

  Only this Swedish language, she really doesn't know anything, it is really too difficult to learn.

   "The United States is not as good as Sweden now." Xiang Nan curled his lips when he heard this.

  The United States is now in the period of prohibition. Because of alcohol prohibition, bootleg alcohol is rampant, gangs are rampant, police are corrupt, and social security has seriously deteriorated.

  If members of the Jin family go to the United States, they will definitely be targeted by the local gang organizations. Even with the protection of Xiang Nan, a great god, it can't guarantee everyone's safety. At that time, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.

  In addition, during World War II, although the United States did not suffer from war disasters, it also encountered a shortage of supplies.

  Sugar, coffee, fuel, cheese, nylon, butter, milk, lard, etc. are all supplied by ticket, which began in 1941 and lasted until 2046.

  The Jin family likes to enjoy it, and the limited supply for five years can kill them.

   What's more, after the end of World War II, the United States set off the McCarthy Movement again, in which tens of thousands of ethnic Chinese were monitored, subpoenaed, deported and even assassinated, which lasted for nearly five years.

   Those with more progressive ideas like Jin Runzhi and Leng Qingqiu are likely to have accidents. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is to learn Swedish, it is better than going to the United States to suffer.

   This is why Xiang Nan insisted on coming to Sweden. After all, this was one of the few countries that did not encounter war during World War II.

   "Anyway, Xiuzhu, time will tell. Sooner or later, you will know that I made the right choice for Sweden." Xiang Nan smiled to Bai Xiuzhu.

  …

  In October 2007, Xiang Nan officially started investing in the Swedish stock market.

  He had almost figured out the bottom of the Swedish stock market through reading newspapers and field visits.

  At this time, the Stockholm Stock Exchange, although it is the largest stock exchange in Northern Europe, actually has only more than 80 stocks listed and traded.

   At present, the trend of the stock index is quite good. From the beginning of the year to the present, the stock market index has risen by about 20%, which has also attracted many rookies to enter the stock market.

  But Xiang Nan knew that in two years, there would be the notorious stock market crash of the century. Even a small border country like Sweden has been greatly affected.

  So Xiang Nan thinks about accumulating wealth quickly now. After the stock market crash, there are small and medium-sized enterprises that have closed down due to the economic crisis everywhere, and this is the best time for him to make a fortune.

   At that time, he can acquire those high-quality assets at the lowest price, and become one of the richest people in Sweden in one fell swoop.

   After the end of World War II, he can also rely on his huge capital to enter countries such as Germany, France, and Italy, and become a big capitalist who has shocked Europe.

  Of course, that's all for later.

  So far, the funds that Xiang Nan can mobilize are only 100,000 yuan, which is equivalent to about 40,000 US dollars. I am afraid that he is still several orders of magnitude away from becoming the richest man in Sweden.

  So Xiang Nan can only walk step by step. Fortunately, he still has time.

  …

   And when Xiang Nan entered the stock market to make money, Leng Qingqiu also learned the basic Swedish, and then she entered the preparatory class of Stockholm University, preparing to study for a master of arts.

   Many of the Kim family expressed their opposition to this. He thought that since she was married, she shouldn't show her face in public.

  However, Xiang Nan, Jin Daozhi, and Jin Runzhi all support her, thinking that since they are in Europe, they should no longer stick to the old rules. Women should learn more and improve more, and should not always be trapped in the boudoir.

  With the support of the three of them, the others have no choice but to do so.
