Chapter 50 Very hard

Facts have proved that the 1951 Macallan is not only expensive but also delicious. Li Zhiyi drank more than half of the bottle by himself while bragging in the study last night, which caused him to miss the economics class the next morning as expected.

When he arrived at the school with a hangover hairstyle, Professor Joseph was holding documents and preparing to return to the office.

"It seems like you didn't get a good rest last night?" Joseph asked with a straight face.

Li Zhiyi smiled and explained: "Sorry, teacher, I went to bed late last night attending a party. Can you send me your courseware for self-study?"

"Come to me in the office later." Joseph dropped the words and turned to leave.

Seeing the teacher leaving, Li Zhiyi thought about what was going on. Henry suddenly came out from the side and put his arms around his shoulders: "Xie Te, what good did you do last night?!"

Li Zhiyi felt uncomfortable and quickly struggled away: "You said we were in the study room, chatting casually about market analysis or something."

"Let's just talk about the market. Why are you laughing at him? There are so many old men!" Henry took a picture of Buffett on the wall and was puzzled.

Buffett is an alumnus of Columbia University. He said the phrase "Be greedy when others are fearful" during a speech at Columbia University, so it was hung on the wall while he was still alive.

"Sorry, do you believe me when I say I was drunk?"

After Li Zhiyi woke up, he also felt a little headache, but he had already done what he could, so he could kill or cut him into pieces. From now on, he could live with his tail between his legs.

He didn't know that Mellon and Pandit gave him support, and Henry didn't mention it: "I don't know if you are drunk or not, but you will soon be famous on Wall Street."

Selling something like this well is easy to do if you just say it out loud. It's smart to let people take the initiative to feel it.

"It's a blessing in disguise. I advertised my venture capital firm last night." Li Zhiyi said happily.

Henry expressed his admiration: "Awesome, I admire your attitude of pretending to be awesome even to death."

"Yes, they are indeed old."

Li Zhiyi crossed his arms and looked at the photos on the wall and said calmly, then turned around and walked out of the classroom, heading to the office building to find Joseph.

Through what happened last night, Li Zhiyi's mentality gradually changed. After experiencing that circle personally through various market rumors and smoke-and-smoke speculations.

He discovered that the so-called Wall Street bosses are also human beings. They will be afraid, they will grow old, they will jump up and curse when they are poked in a painful spot, and they will speak vulgar words and show off after drinking. When facing them, they need to maintain appropriate awe, but the same

Yes, there is no need to be too cautious.

Henry caught up with Li Zhiyi and asked if he had time to attend the party in the evening. Many of his friends wanted to pay homage to the "voice and smile" of the warrior who dared to mock the old guys, but Li Zhiyi refused without hesitation.

He made an appointment with Xu Jing for a meeting in the afternoon, and the Gaopeng.com investment project had to be put on the agenda.

…………

Ten minutes later, Joseph was on the phone when Li Zhiyi knocked on the office door, and the topic of conversation was him.

Joseph raised his hand to indicate that he should sit down first, then he said a few words to the phone and hung up: "Someone called me to complain, saying that my beloved disciple was very rude to his seniors last night and made fun of them.

Buffett?”

"I'm not rude, I just stated the facts." Li Zhiyi bared his teeth and giggled.

In private, Joseph was very amiable. He chuckled, shook his head and joked: "Well, I hope you can make the same excuse next year when the administrator of the school who is responsible for Buffett's donation comes to settle accounts with you."

Part of the financial resources of private universities in the United States comes from alumni donations, and famous alumni account for the bulk of alumni donations. Joseph implicitly meant that Buffett would be blamed if he did not donate to the school.

Hearing this, Li Zhiyi replied very proudly: "Next year I would like to donate a sum of funds to your research group and the college for free. What do you think?"

Joseph did not ask how much money he donated: "It seems that your company is developing well."

"Yes, we are currently looking for a second investment project." Li Zhiyi did not directly quote.

As the old saying goes, as long as the money is in place, the glass will be shattered; conversely, as an investor, he doesn't mind betting 10 million or 20 million, provided that his alma mater can give him a reasonable return.

Joseph nodded after hearing this: "Since the company is developing well, it's time to talk about what you wanted to hire a consultant before."

As he spoke, he took out a handwritten list from the drawer. He wanted to talk to Li Zhiyi today just to talk about this matter.

Glenn Harbert, Alklov, George Pataki.

Li Zhiyi was stunned when he saw the three names and simple personal information on the list. Joseph's attentiveness to him was no worse than that of a closed disciple.

Glenn Harbert is the dean of Columbia Business School. His book "Economics (Micro, Macro)" is a textbook in American universities. He once served as an economic adviser to the Bush administration.

It can be said that it is both academic and political, and both are very strong. Even if you give up your official career now, it is still a big Buddha that Meta Capital needs to build a memorial tablet to enshrine.

The second Alklov is a Nobel Prize winner in the same class as Joseph. It is not surprising that he is personally obsessed with academics, but his wife is very powerful - the Queen of Wall Street, Janet Louise Yellen.

Yes, that's the finance minister of the Ardern government, who now controls Thunder in the San Francisco government's financial department.

The third one, George Pataki, is an out-and-out politician, the former governor of New York, now retired to live in retirement, and an alumnus of Columbia University.

"Who do you prefer?" Joseph asked Li Zhiyi after letting him think quietly for a while.

Li Zhiyi was a little confused: "These three are very suitable for my company. Teacher, do you have any opinions?"

"Only you know who you need. I can't help you make a choice." Joseph wiped his eyes and said without looking up.

Li Zhiyi looked at his words and felt something was wrong. His mind was spinning rapidly, while Old God Joseph remained silent.

A few minutes later, Li Zhiyi tentatively said: "...I think Glenn Harbert is more suitable. My family is very kind."

Joseph showed a childish smile of satisfaction: "That's a good reason. I've already said hello to Hubbert. You can make an appointment with him later to talk."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Li Zhiyi suppressed his rapidly beating heartbeat to express his gratitude. Joseph nodded, put on his glasses and looked at the computer, signaling that he could get out.

Li Zhiyi stood up and left quickly without saying another word. After walking out of the office, he took a long breath with lingering fear, even more scared than when he was robbed.

In fact, Hubbert should be the only candidate selected by Joseph, and the other two people are test questions.

The American political system is like a towering tree rooted in the blood of the entire country. Parties, religions, private groups, and countless complex relationships are entangled and surround everyone.

The above three candidates seem to be far away from politics, but George Pataki comes from a political family of the Elephant Party, and his son is considering the position of mayor of New York; while Yellen, apart from being a party god, is more worthy of focusing on "Jewishness"

Descendants”.

Therefore, Glenn Hubbard is relatively innocent, and with the protection of school connections, Li Zhiyi will not be involved in party factions.

With his current small body, he can still laugh at the Wolf of Wall Street and be stubborn, and get involved in political positions. His tendency is simply to light a lamp in the toilet - to seek death.

Not only should corporate consultant candidates try to avoid politics, Joseph also took the opportunity to remind him that he should try to avoid politics in the future and never take sides unless absolutely necessary.
