After winning the competition, Edison attended the press conference again. Compared with his usual eloquent speeches, where one person held the whole room alone, reporters clearly found that Edison was in a perfunctory mood today.
The most obvious manifestation is that Edison did not rush to talk and actually let Brand and Nash answer many questions from reporters.
For the reporters here, they had long been tired of hearing about Edison. It would be nice to have a change of taste now, so no one was aggressive with him anymore. In this way, the press conference came to an end in less than 10 minutes.
, some who are not satisfied or want to dig out more news can only go to the locker room to try their luck.
The reason why Edison was not very interested in the press conference today was simple. There was an important guest waiting for him in the box.
After finishing his work with the team, Edison came to his box from the VIP channel. At this time, the two guests in the box were chatting and laughing with his assistant Wang Ziqiang.[
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Edison apologized as soon as he entered the door, and then took the initiative to shake hands with the other person.
The old man Edison came in and acted very free and easy, "It doesn't matter. Is it because of work? And we have all seen what you did. You are such a good young man. I like you like this." He patted Edison on the shoulder and said,
Show encouragement.
The other party's attitude was beyond Edison's expectations, so he subconsciously looked up to find the answer.
At this time, Ivanka Trump, who was standing next to her, replied with a smile on her face, "Although my father doesn't do much sports himself, he likes to watch games very much, whether it's football, basketball or some track and field events, and he is very
Like athletes.”
The people in the box were none other than Ivanka Trump and her father, the head of the Plant family and New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump.
"I see, this is really beyond my expectation. But I don't seem to be an athlete." Edison used his humorous talent to try to ease the bad atmosphere of making the other party wait for him. In fact, Edison's idea was very
Subjectively, the other party didn't care about this at all.
"In my opinion, the coach is the most special athlete in the basketball game. It's just that compared to the players, the coach shows more intelligent analysis and decision-making ability." With that said, Donald Trump stood on the glass of the box again.
In front of him, he watched the audience leave the already clean competition venue with a surge of heart. "As a man, this kind of face-to-face physical and intellectual confrontation is the real challenge. Just thinking about it makes people excited."
.”
Edison looked at Donald Trump, who was already a bit divine, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, "Okay, now is a peaceful time. If we catch up with "chaotic" times, this guy will definitely be a war maniac."
Donald Trump was brewing his emotions alone there, and because he was the most powerful among the people present, neither Edison nor Ivanka dared to interrupt him.
But soon, Donald Trump broke out of that frenzied state, turned to Edison and said, "Okay, Paul, let's not waste any more time and get straight to the point. I've already seen Ivanka Trump
The plan is here, now I want to hear your thoughts in person."
Edison knew that now was the most critical moment for his plan to make money. If he could convince Plante, he would become one of the true masters of the world in the future.
In fact, what Donald Trump does now is like that of many venture capital investors. They value the executor more than the plan or project document.
There is a saying that I don’t know if you have heard of it, “There is no absolutely reliable plan in this world, but there are absolutely reliable people.” So many times, when venture capital looks at a project, the quality of the project itself is not particularly critical. Because of a
Any project that can get venture capital will first of all have great profit prospects, and the expectations have been whitewashed to a certain extent.
According to a friend of mine, "Whenever a project is put in front of him, even if it is selling instant noodles, every noodle in it will look as yellow as a gold bar."
Therefore, for some projects that can make money, investors are more concerned about which one can actually be converted into income.
At this time, the project sponsor's own ability is a very critical factor. If you, the sponsor, are incompetent at first glance, you will be timid, have no confidence at all, or look snobbish, and do not love yourself at all.
If you make a profit and leave the project clearly, then people will definitely not put money on you.
However, Edison had made the most adequate preparations for the arrival of this day. He practiced counting alone when no one was around.
"Okay, Mr. Plant. I think you have read my plan. Now I will focus on my judgment on the economic trend of the United States and the world in the next two years..."
In fact, prophecy is the most difficult thing in the world, but this place that seems most difficult to others is the easiest for Edison, because he has experienced all those major events. And use what has happened to counter the original omen.
, this difficulty is directly reduced by 8 gradients. To put it bluntly, anyone can make an afterthought, and anyone can talk nonsense.[
At first, Plante could still maintain the objective perspective of an outsider, but as Edison analyzed more deeply, he gradually became involved. He started his own business in real estate, so he was able to deal with many abnormal changes in the market.
Obtain first-hand information. But everyone knows that the subprime mortgage crisis that swept the world in 2008 was the first time it appeared in the world, and there was no empirical reference at all. Therefore, after Prandt noticed these anomalies, he did not
I know what this means, but I just feel something ominous in my gut.
And now Edison opened the Pandora's box in front of him, allowing him to see the financial monster inside in advance. Although many experts had predicted the existence of this monster, they all underestimated its impact.
Power. And Edison is now objectively measuring the changes in the market. Although the conclusions are scary, every step is well-founded.
Gradually, Donald Trump began to sweat on his head, while Ivanka Plant narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, thinking, "Paul still didn't tell me everything before."
Things developed very smoothly. First of all, Donald Trump's first impression of Edison was very good, and he had enough evidence to support his project, so the two people quickly reached a consensus.
Originally, according to Edison's intention, he and Mr. Plante wanted to deepen their relationship at the dinner table and have a late-night snack together. However, Plante politely declined due to his health, but he did take his daughter out and
He said that future cooperation will mainly involve Ivanka communicating with Edison.
Edison was naturally happy to have dinner with the beautiful woman, so another pleasant business meeting came to an end.
But what Edison didn't expect was that Donald Trump looked at him seriously in the car and had an idea in his mind. This idea was even more important in Plant's mind than Edison's money-making plan.
When Ivanka returned to her family's villa in Orlando in the evening, she found that Donald had not rested, but was waiting for her in the living room.
"Ivanka, what did Paul say to you later?"
"Nothing was said. It was just a ceremonial meeting. It was a bit like a class reunion. Each other told some interesting things about their lives, but the actual meaningful things were not involved." Although Ivanka is well-rounded in front of outsiders.
, is a very capable and independent person, but in front of her father, she is just a blank sheet of paper and can only listen to the other party's mercy, with almost no ability to resist.
"Well, that's it." After finishing speaking, Donald did not speak anymore, but fell into deep thought again.
When Ivanka felt that she had nothing to do and was about to go back to her room to rest, Donald stopped her again.
"By the way, Ivanka, what do you think of Edison?"
"He has a keen sense of business and is extremely foreseeable. He can find big problems from small places, just like"
"No, I'm not asking about his plan, I'm asking about him as a person. What do you think of him as a person? Put aside our business cooperation and let's talk about his personal life."
"Who is he? How can I say that he is very humorous, very confident, and also has a bit of mystery?"
Donald listened carefully to his daughter's description, and then after thinking about it for a while, he interrupted Ivanka again.
"So you have a good impression of him?"
"It's really good. He is a very good person."
"So do you think it's possible for you two to date?" Donald looked at his daughter's shocked expression, and then explained further, "Ivanka, I think Paul is a very good person. When I came back just now, I asked someone to help me
After a detailed investigation of some of his investments, we found that the two Internet companies under his control are now very strong. They said that it is entirely possible to become the next Yahoo and Google. In other words, although this guy is still just a poor boy.
, but the future is limitless. And I like his style very much, so if you two date, I will not object, and I will be very supportive. I also very much hope that he can become a member of my family gatherings in the future."
"But father, you may not know that he now has a girlfriend who is a very beautiful actor."
"You have said that you are just an actor. My daughter, you have to believe in your father's vision. If you can be with him, I believe that our family status will be even higher in the future."[
Ivanka looked at her father's serious and stern eyes, and felt very uncomfortable. She felt as if she had suddenly become a commodity, but she was a human being, not a commodity without thoughts.
"I'll think about it carefully." Ivanka finally couldn't resist her father's gaze.
Donald said nothing more, just patted his daughter lightly on the shoulder, and then let her go back to rest.
Of course, Edison didn't know all this. He was still immersed in the dream of his own business empire that was about to take shape.
The wheel of fate inadvertently caused the lives of two people to intersect, but where will the final direction be?
