In sincere gratitude, the middle-aged man expressed his thanks to Chou Ping, who casually waved his hand, "Hey, it's nothing. Just a small effort. Be more careful when eating next time!"
While saying this, Chou Ping found it amusing. The middle-aged man was right, in the previous cycles, he did die, not immediately, but after enduring hours of pain.
Following a rebuke from Sana's husband, the fat woman, Sana, also apologized for her unreasonable outburst under Chou Ping's guidance, and he gladly accepted.
If this incident could change the distorted beliefs of someone with racial discrimination, it would have some meaning.
Outside the restaurant, Kailin, with an excited face, looked at Chou Ping and asked, "Chou, you're amazing. How did you do that just now?"
"Well, if you give me a kiss, I'll tell you."
Smack!
Before the words even finished, Kailin tiptoed and kissed Chou Ping on the cheek.
"Okay, spill the beans now!" Kailin said, slightly blushing.
"Haha, it's quite simple, actually. I used inertia to pat the bone that was stuck. But if the bone is stuck for too long, it can indeed lead to unpredictable consequences."
Though spoken casually, Chou Ping had witnessed the tragic scene. An ordinary person, trying to save on emergency medical fees, eventually died in the hospital after spitting up blood.
"Chou, I need to go back to the office to finalize the investment plan. What are your plans?" After a moment of silence, Kailin asked.
"Can I join you? I think you must be even more charming when you're seriously working," Chou Ping gazed at her.
Blushing, Kailin nodded, "Of course, you're the client, and you have the right to know the details of your investments."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Chou Ping waved for a taxi.
A dozen minutes later, the car stopped in front of a tall office building. Kailin, in her joyful mood, probably couldn't imagine that without Chou Ping's intervention, she would have jumped off the building's rooftop in despair the next day.
Following Kailin to the 28th floor, she informed Chou Ping that the entire floor belonged to their company.
Since it was the weekend, there weren't many people in the office. Americans generally didn't like working overtime.
"Kailin, congratulations on getting your first client. Once you start, more clients will choose you in the future."
Kailin had good social skills, and her colleagues who were working overtime greeted her warmly.
However, they didn't inquire about Chou Ping. Asking about clients' situations was considered unprofessional.
Reaching her desk, Kailin opened her computer and pulled up a document. Pointing at the screen, she asked, "Chou, have you looked at my investment plan? Are you satisfied?"
Chou Ping glanced casually, then suddenly remembered the news he saw yesterday. He directly asked, "Kailin, I have a question I want to ask you."
"Go ahead, Chou. Ask anything."
Recalling some key points from the news, Chou Ping slowly said, "If the U.S. decides to suppress or use mandatory measures to sanction certain countries or foreign companies doing well in the U.S., how can we make money?"
Kailin listened and was slightly puzzled; she didn't understand what Chou Ping meant.
Economics was indeed related to politics. Those financial elites at the top could directly control the country's economic direction by manipulating behind the scenes, thus making endless wealth.
Although she also studied economics, she was far from their level.
Compared to ordinary people, her only advantage was being more sensitive to the trends in the economy, allowing her to choose a relatively accurate general direction.
"Um... if what you said really happens, we can treat this industry as a cake. Half is owned by U.S. domestic companies, and the other half by foreign companies. The sanction is like a big hand taking the cake back from foreign companies. The cake recovered will naturally be distributed among domestic companies."
Kailin explained in a straightforward manner. This was a skill that investment planners had to master. After all, it would be embarrassing if the client couldn't understand when explaining the investment plan.
Chou Ping nodded thoughtfully, "According to what you're saying, if such a situation really occurs, I just need to invest my funds in the corresponding domestic companies to make money?"
Kailin nodded, "Theoretically, yes."
But then she shrugged, "But we can't expect to know such inside information in advance..."
Chou Ping grinned, "Well, not necessarily."
Just as Chou Ping was about to reveal the insider information he knew – that tomorrow, the lunatic president *** would announce an ordinance imposing high tariffs or even restricting the entry of some Chinese companies into the U.S. – Kailin's phone suddenly rang. She apologized to Chou Ping, saying, "Sorry, Chou, I have a call to take."
"Go ahead," Chou Ping smiled slightly.
This phone call didn't last long. Kailin returned to her desk and leaned down, asking, "Chou, have you finished reviewing my investment plan?"
Thinking he could finally share the insider information, Chou Ping was about to speak...
"
Kailin!"
A voice echoed, and Chou Ping and Kailin turned to see a tall and handsome white man walking briskly towards them.
"Jerry, why are you here at the office on the weekend?" Kailin was a bit puzzled but still greeted.
"Chou, let me introduce you. This is Jerry, my senior in college and also my supervisor at the company."
"Oh, so he's your supervisor. Hello!" Chou Ping greeted politely.
However, Jerry didn't intend to give Chou Ping much face. Upon seeing him, his smile disappeared. He said indifferently, "Kailin, who is this?"
"Jerry, this is my high school classmate, Chou. He came to check the investment plan I formulated. Thanks to him entrusting me with a sum of 500,000 dollars, otherwise I really wouldn't have held on."
"Oh, Kailin, your conditions are pretty good. It's just that you don't know how to use your own advantages."
At this point, Jerry suddenly changed his tone, smiling politely at Chou Ping, "Mr. Chou, I've been professionally engaged in investment and finance for ten years. I'm glad Kailin has gained your trust, and I hope to have the opportunity to serve you."
"I think Kailin should be able to find a suitable investment direction for my funds," Chou Ping said noncommittally.
