Chapter three hundred and fourteenth true self-confidence
"I'm not kidding. In fact, these contents are in the textbooks. The First Bank and the Second Bank of the United States were forced to close successively. For more than seventy years after 1836, the United States did not have a central bank. The financial crisis of 1907,
Morgan appeared as a savior, and under his initiative, the Aldrich Plan was born, and then there was the Federal Reserve Act, and finally the Federal Reserve was born."
The expressions on the faces of the Li siblings show that they really don’t know about this situation. In fact, most people in the country don’t know at this stage. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future, after all, no one has done any investigation. (PS: The author knows people around his life circle.
After a while, I randomly asked a dozen people, and the result was that only three people knew the term Federal Reserve.)
When the Chinese people in the 1990s faced the United States, the world's most powerful country, most of them had an inferiority complex. Most people had fantasies about a strange country and the United States, the world's most powerful country.
A perfect country.
Moreover, Chinese people in this era, even if they fight gangsters in the United States, earn more than at home, which is very impactful. It is not surprising that the United States is a myth, and it is normal for the nation to have low self-confidence. Many of the same
The backbone of the nation saw the shortcomings but did not lose confidence. They worked hard and worked hard to catch up.
As a time traveler, Fang Zhe's self-confidence will certainly not be affected. Therefore, he can understand people of this era. In turn, Fang Zhe's strong self-confidence has also infected the people around him.
"Well, now I really regret not studying hard." Li Ping sighed, it's not like she didn't have the chance to study hard.
"Forget about these things, Fang Zhe, are you interested in the Zhongguancun building project? If so, you can count on it." Li Shengli said with a smile.
"This kind of business is not suitable for me. You should do it yourself." Fang Zhe clearly refused, and Li Shengli did not bother. He smiled and said: "Generally speaking, the threshold of the clothing industry is very low, and the competition will become more and more fierce in the future.
.I don’t believe you want to do this for a lifetime. Even if your brand is established, it is still a domestic brand and it will be difficult to compete with foreign brands.”
Fang Zhe looked over with a sneer, while Li Ping watched the conversation between the two calmly. Li Shengli calmly raised his index finger and waved it a few times: "I think you know what the situation is in China. No matter how the Yiren brand is developed,
In the end, it is mid-range, and there is almost no possibility of entering the market of high-end brands.”
Li Ping also nodded: "This is the current trend. No matter how well domestic brands do, there are no foreign brands that are popular. Many people go to Hong Kong to buy clothes. What's more, there are people in the south who run a garbage business and transport foreign garbage.
Come, some of these clothes will be cleaned and sold openly in genuine stores."
Li Shengli added: "So I suggest that Yiren's new advertisement must be shot in the United States and brought back. By then, as long as it is said to be popular in the American fashion market, you see, a lot of people will pursue it, and the newspapers will take the initiative
Compliment your beauty."
Fang Zhe had no objection to this, nodded and said: "This is a good suggestion, but there is no need to go to the United States to shoot. We can shoot directly in China. There are foreign students in the country, so just spend some money to hire them as models."
"I don't think there is any need to save money. Don't you have dealers in the United States? Just let them organize the filming. When the time comes, we will get it to the TV station and show it to the American team for filming." Li Shengli continued to promote his products.
Routines.
"Well, I really have to think about this. People in China do do this." Fang Zhe rarely recognized it, and Li Shengli's smile was so happy that Li Ping looked at her brother with a look like a fool and couldn't help but shake her head.
.Normally Li Shengli is considered to be a promising person among the second generation, but he didn’t expect that he would be so unpopular with Fang Zhe.
The next morning, Fang Zhe got up with his eyes closed. Don't ask why, it was just to deepen our understanding and exchange opinions overnight.
Fang Zhe fell into a deep sleep after getting on the plane. When he opened his eyes, he arrived at Baiyun Airport and was pushed awake by Li Ping.
"What did you say Li Shengli did? I didn't know until I got to the airport that it was not a direct flight." When leaving the airport, Li Ping kept complaining. Fang Zhe became more awake and shook his head: "I think this is good. That shabby guy in Hong Kong City
At the airport, every landing process is simply a torture. Speaking of which, there have been no major incidents for so many years, which shows that the pilots' technical and psychological qualities are very high."
"Here you don't have to experience the pain of landing, but you have to waste more time on the road and have to go through customs. Don't do this when you go back, it's too frustrating." When Li Ping said this, people at the airport
Ai Jing's "My 1997" played.
The person waiting outside the airport was Nan Xia again. This guy was very enthusiastic. He saw Fang Zhe waving from a distance.
"The car and driver are ready. I won't go through the customs with you this time. Someone has been arranged to wait there." Nan Xia explained the situation clearly in one sentence. Fang Zhe said nothing, but Li Ping smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work.
Let’s get together when we return to the imperial capital during the Chinese New Year.”
Nan Xia's eyes quickly passed over the faces of the couple, and she was very puzzled. She once had the idea of Li Shengli selling his sister to seek glory, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was wrong. The problem is that Fang Zhe is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others.
You guys, this world is so complicated!
Fang Zhe set off without being in a hurry. He first found a place to have morning tea, otherwise it would be troublesome to eat on the way. After eating and drinking, he set off on the road. After passing the customs, there was indeed a driver holding a sign in the port city to greet him, and the hotel also went south to help.
The settled peninsula.
She was probably tired. Li Ping was very quiet along the way and seemed a little tired. Fang Zhe didn't say anything, but in his heart he said it was strange that he wasn't tired. He must have been too excited when he set out in the morning and had been sleeping intermittently.
After checking into the hotel, Li Ping felt more energetic and called home. Sister Cai reported that everything was fine and she felt at ease. After a simple dinner, the two of them didn't have enough energy to go out and hang out. They watched TV and fell asleep when they felt sleepy.
, exchange activities have also stopped.
I woke up refreshed the next day and went out after having morning tea in the restaurant downstairs. The front desk of the hotel helped me call a taxi. After getting in the car, I headed to Chow Tai Fook's store. The reason is very simple - the "fixed price" strategy. This strategy
What it brings is the reputation of "genuine goods at reasonable prices". It's not that you can't buy good diamond rings in China. The real purpose of bringing Li Ping here is to satisfy her vanity.
The most important thing is that after being taken away from the home court of the Imperial Capital, Li Ping, whose vanity has been greatly satisfied, will further reduce her IQ, making it easier to cheat. For a long time to come, Li Ping will not be fooled because of this shopping trip.
It is easy to cause trouble for Fang Zhe. Generally speaking, it is timely for Li Ping to accept the status quo for a long time. Therefore, it is not easy to be a scumbag.
When we got off the bus and entered the store on Queens Boulevard, there was not much to choose from in terms of makeup for the two of them, especially Fang Zhe's outfit, which was given to her by several women in Los Angeles, and the matching was all done in advance.
When a female clerk in the store came up to greet her, her expression changed slightly as soon as Fang Zhe spoke. However, her smile was still very polite, but not as enthusiastic as before. Fang Zhe didn't expect much of a slap in the face.
The plot is not that there are too many in the novel, but that even if people look down on you, they won’t show it to their face. Another thing is Fang Zhe’s clothes, which can be seen at a glance.
"You're welcome, let's take a look for ourselves." Fang Zhe didn't want to be followed, so he waved his hand and asked the female clerk to leave.
Li Ping looked around, and finally her eyes fell on a ring. After Fang Zhe glanced at it, he met Li Ping's eyes and said, "Do you like this ring?" Li Ping nodded, and Fang Zhe smiled slightly.
, waving to the female clerk: "Is there anything better?"
The female shop assistant had actually been standing three steps away, and could see everything here clearly. Fang Zhe waved and came over and said: "This one is already very good, it costs 150,000 Hong Kong dollars." Fang Zhe spoke in Cantonese.
Zhe could understand, but still frowned and said, "Can you speak Mandarin? And there is a price tag on it, I can see it. Isn't it just because of the fixed price that I come to Chow Tai Fook?"
"Wait a moment!" The female clerk didn't hesitate at all. She immediately turned around and went in. When she came out a while later, a middle-aged man came up behind her and came forward with a smile: "Welcome to the distinguished guest. I am Zhou Qi." She said proactively.
When Fang Zhe reached out and shook hands with him, the man's eyes rounded up and the smile on his face became more cordial.
Fang Zhe, who had sharp ears, heard the clerks nearby whispering to each other: "You should think about 97. We can't immigrate, so don't offend others by talking nonsense." When Fang Zhe frowned slightly, Zhou Wei had already calmed down.
He glanced at the clerk who was talking: "Are you very free?" After speaking, he nodded and smiled at Fang Zhe and Li Ping, making a gesture.
"Sir and Madam, please come in!" As she spoke, Zhou Yu bent down forty-five degrees, appearing very respectful.
After entering the reception room and taking a seat on the sofa, Zhou Wei said with a smile: "Sir, I have a heartfelt request." Although it was difficult for him to speak Mandarin, he still insisted on speaking Mandarin.
"Mr. Zhou, please speak." Fang Zhe was dissatisfied without any attitude. As a person, low self-esteem is due to lack of confidence. People who are used to looking down on others and showing it off are often a sign of lack of self-confidence. People who are truly confident do not need to express themselves through performance.
Don't look down on others to think too highly of yourself.
"Can I take a look at this watch, sir?" Zhou Wei asked with a smile. Fang Zhe didn't think too much and took it off and handed it to him: "Let's take a look. After you finish reading, take out the good product quickly. Don't use it outside."
That's what you need to deal with me."
Zhou Wei took the watch with a smile, looked at it carefully, and finally took out a magnifying glass to observe.
About five minutes later, Zhou Wei talked about the magnifying glass and returned it holding the watch in both hands with unfinished thoughts: "It's a rare style. I saw the same model last time in London. What's your surname, sir?"
Seeing the sincere respect on Zhou Wei's expression, Fang Zhe remembered the origin of this watch. He just didn't mention it without asking. There was no need to show off in this place.
"Fang Zhe, my wife, Li Ping, is here to buy a diamond ring. If it's convenient, please hurry up. We have other shopping plans." Fang Zhe was very polite, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
