The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Saturday, Zhou Yan returned to his residence after exercising at school. Just as he was about to prepare breakfast, the rice was already out of the pot when Zuo Jiyun suddenly called.
"Lao Zhou, does your pot work well? The induction cooker I bought here doesn't seem to work very well."
"I'm really impressed by you," Zhou Yan almost cried, "You've lived with your wife for so long, how come you can't even do this..."
"It's all my fault, I didn't consider..."
"Forget it," Zhou Yan smiled helplessly, "I still have a set of gas stoves here. I'll drive them there tomorrow..."
The gas tank and stove were left behind by the previous owner of the woodware shop. Zhou Yan kept them because there was no gas in the shop.
After breakfast, Zhou Yan ran to the carpentry shop, found the gas tanks and stoves in the warehouse, cleaned them, and stuffed them into the truck compartment.
After being busy for a while, Zhou Yan returned to the warehouse and continued to make furniture for his new house in his hometown.
After nearly a month of busy work, the set of furniture has been almost completed, and the rest is basically the finishing work, sanding, painting and coloring.
I was busy until noon when Zuo Jiyun called again. This time the problem was with the tableware...
"Lao Zhou, I'm really sorry..."
"I know! Plus the tableware I have here should be enough..."
So, after Zhou Yan arrived at Zuo Jiyun’s rented house near the School of Finance and Economics at noon on the Mid-Autumn Festival with his suitcases of goods, a scene like this appeared: a group of young men moved tables and chairs upstairs from the truck compartment like they were moving.
Stoves and pots and pans…
Fortunately, Zuo Jiyun's ability to follow pictures was pretty good, and he bought all the dishes Zhou Yan asked for before the party.
"Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!" After just sitting for a short while, Zuo Jiyun rushed all the people who were watching TV in the living room into the kitchen to select and wash vegetables.
As the chef of this party, Zhou Yan naturally does not need to wash the dishes. He only needs to sit in the living room, watch TV, drink tea, and crack melon seeds...
After the ingredients were prepared, it was time for Zhou Yan's performance. For a moment, flames rose in the kitchen and the ingredients were flying.
In less than half an hour, Zhou Yan had prepared the dishes that needed to be fried.
"Lao Zhou, these dishes will last for a while, let's sit down and have a drink together!"
“Don’t drink while driving!”
Zhou Yan turned around and continued to work, stewing what should be stewed and steaming what should be steamed. Finally, seafood: hairtail and mackerel that have been fried at home can be fried a little; prawns and crabs are steamed in a pot.
…
When Zhou Yan finished his work and returned to the living room, the group of people at the table were already a bit drunk. Seeing Zhou Yan, a group of men had strange smiles on their faces...
"What's wrong?" After sitting down, Zhou Yan took the Happy Fat House water from the side and poured it into the cup.
"They were talking about you just now," Zhao Ruijie said with a smirk on his face, "They said they would send you to Thailand for plastic surgery..."
"A bunch of white-eyed wolves!"
However, a group of "white-eyed wolves" still had a conscience and did not clear the plates.
Zhou Yan goes into battle and the second half begins...
When the party ended, the full moon had risen from the east...
Although he already knew that the moon was still hanging 380,000 kilometers away, Zhou Yan still felt that it was particularly warm when it rose from his hometown.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and it’s soon time to harvest peanuts.
In Qingya Town, where Zhou Yan's hometown is located, the cultivated land is mainly hilly. In recent years, in order to facilitate mechanized operations, most families have kept their wheat and corn in flat areas.
But peanuts are different. Most of the sowing plots are scattered in mountainous areas, and there is no way to use mechanized operations.
The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Yan called home again. His father and mother seemed to be collecting peanuts.
"Shitou, call home. Is there anything important?"
Zhou Yan smiled helplessly: "No!"
"We are busy, hang up first...Oh, by the way, you don't have to worry about the family, there are many people helping..."
After hanging up the phone, he breathed a long sigh of relief, opened his laptop, logged into the stock trading software, and checked the situation of rice stocks. It was the most critical moment...
"The harvest is going on in my hometown, and the final harvest in the beautiful country should start soon..."
On September 15th, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, announced that it had filed for bankruptcy protection. The subprime mortgage crisis that had lasted for more than a year had finally come to an end...
On September 20th, Zhou Yan's profits from the US stock market entered the final settlement stage.
"Boss, good news. Our total income from the stock market this time is about ninety belins. More detailed data is still being compiled..."
As soon as Frank finished speaking, the system prompt sounded: "Ding..."
[Congratulations to the host for completing the Economics Master Badge mission.
Rewards are now distributed.
Task reward one: Twelve thousand points reward.
Mission reward two, Greenspan's memoir "My Years as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of America".
Mission reward three, the intelligent stock trading software "Golden Scissors" developed by a certain stock god in parallel time and space.]
As soon as the rewards were distributed, Zhou Yan couldn't wait to browse them.
Greenspan's memoir "My Years as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of America" is a third-person tutorial. He records Greenspan's operations and experiences during the period from when he first took over the Federal Reserve Bank of America to his official retirement: various economic situations.
The financial policies adopted, the resolution of the economic crisis, and the support behind Soros and other financial wolves in creating the economic crisis...
As for the Golden Scissors, Zhou Yan didn't take it seriously at first, but when he installed the server in the virtual space, he discovered that it was a stock trading software that inherited high-end AI, and the software seemed to have integrated a considerable level of hackers.
Tools to collect more stock market information...
After browsing for a while, Zhou Yan put away his contempt.
And as the understanding continued to deepen, Zhou Yan discovered that the AI integrated in "Golden Scissors" seemed to have been strengthened to a certain extent for financial operations. The trading ability was basically the level of the chief trader of major securities companies...
However, Zhou Yan feels that it is a pity that in a short period of time, he will not have the need to use the golden scissors...
News of the collapse of Lehman Brothers quickly spread across the country and became the best material for various news media...
Then, within a few days, the melamine incident came to its final conclusion: three deer were guillotined.
Other dairy manufacturers that survived the disaster are rejoicing but are also thinking about the future: how to reshape their brands and restore consumer confidence.
Soon, some smart dairy manufacturers got a hint of inspiration from the white lotus-like dairy companies in the crisis: Since the domestic low-end market has no hope of recovery for a period of time, is it possible to acquire some ranches from abroad?
Let’s start with the high end…
Soon these people discovered that there were many colleagues who thought this way, and when the Three Deer Incident occurred, some people had already started to take action: half a year ago, Xinghan Holdings, which had ranked first in the amount of donations during disaster relief for two consecutive times,
At the end of the Three Deer Incident, the acquisition of the ranch overseas had been completed...
An atmosphere of tension spread among many dairy manufacturers: they really didn't have much confidence in competing against such a newly established giant.
But facts have proven that these people obviously thought too much.
After Xinghan Holdings made a donation to the Red Cross, it immediately announced on its official website: [Xinghan Holdings’ newly established Anxin Food Supply System is a benefit specially established for employees...]
