Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 38 The Big Brother's Party

The emotions of adults are often very restrained, and various identity labels are attached to them, which gradually makes them lose the ability to express emotions like children.

In theory, Carter is not a complete adult, but he has also lost this ability.Drinking celebration in dreams: drink to one's heart's content and laugh out loud; drinking celebration in reality: drink happily and laugh in a low voice.
Even though he was not very happy, the familiar taste of hometown dishes and the satisfaction brought by the local accent in his ears also made up for Carter's psychological needs of eagerness to find recognition.It can be regarded as being satisfied.

After drinking, Carter took a nap in the room of the fat boss upstairs in the Sichuan restaurant in the afternoon.After recovering enough energy, it is convenient to go to Rogers for a banquet at night.Another advantage of being in a Sichuan restaurant is that Carter can safely leave Melis here, not only to eat, but also to have a playmate of the same age as Chen Shuzhen so that he will not be bored.

Before going to the appointment, Carter asked the fat boss for some white wine, intending to take it as a gift.Carter is not familiar with American etiquette, so he can only follow his own perception.In China, if someone who is not particularly acquainted comes to visit, it is a courtesy to have some gift in hand, even if the gift may not be worth much.

That night, Carter, who arrived with a bottle of white wine, instantly became the most beautiful boy at the dinner.It's not because he actually mentioned an odd number of wine, but because, among a group of people who didn't bring presents, he was the only one with something, and with his too young face, it's hard not to attract attention
"Good evening, Mr. Black! Julie has told me that I am Jim Rogers, and I have been waiting for you. Let me see what you have brought. Is this wine?"

Jim Rogers, born in 1942, is only about 37 years old now.It was the middle-aged man in the prime of life, among the many middle-aged and elderly wealthy clients with rising hairlines around him, who also appeared so that Carter noticed him at a glance.

"Yes, this is a Chinese baijiu brewed by a Chinese friend of mine. I hope you like it. You can call me Carter, Julie, they all call it that. Listening to Mr. Black, it will make me look very old."

Even if he doesn't know the specific social etiquette in the United States, Carter from the future knows that foreigners like to open gifts on the spot, which is different from the politeness of Chinese people.Watching Rogers flip through his presents, Carter naturally wouldn't look displeased. With a smile on his face, he chatted cheerfully with him.

"Hahaha, that's true. I don't like people calling me Mr. Rogers. Like you, you can call me Jim. Carter, your gift is very thoughtful. I have never drank Chinese wine. I think I will Find a time, such as in a leisurely afternoon, and savor it slowly."

Lifting up the crude wine bottle and looking at it, Rogers laughed, turned sideways enthusiastically, and invited Carter into the room.

"Please come in, Juli and the others have arrived. I heard from Juli, you are now on your first trip around the United States? Is the next stop going to Washington?"

"Yes, I'll be leaving in about a week or so. I need to get to Washington in early August, and I still have some things to do there."

On the way to the house side by side, Carter did not hide his itinerary.It just concealed the upcoming event of Volcker coming to power in Washington.

"Then you probably won't be able to wait a week. The Great Lakes in New York are worth a visit. Even if you just taste it, it will take a long time. There are also industrial pearls in the Northeast, which are worth taking a good look at. In Dana, Glacier National Park is also worth a visit, and you won’t be able to appreciate the beautiful scenery until a week later.”

As expected from Julian's mouth, he is a travel expert who often can't find anyone. Rogers is very familiar with the scenic spots in the United States.After roughly listening to Carter's itinerary, he introduced the scenic spots along the road one by one like declaring the names of dishes.

The core purpose of Carter's trip this time is not sightseeing, and he is not too interested in the attractions introduced by Rogers.But Rogers, who was getting excited, didn't seem to notice this, and kept introducing it enthusiastically.But soon, as the two entered the house, Rogers had to end his tour guide experience.

"Come on, Carter, please let me introduce these friends to you. Julie, you are very familiar. This is Mr. Slop Mackenzie, who is also a friend and client of Julie like you."

"I know Mr. Mackenzie. I met Julie once. Good evening, Mr. Mackenzie!"

Smiling and nodding at Mr Mackenzie, Carter continued to wait for Rogers to introduce the others.

"Haha, that's great, so you won't be too restrained. Then, the next one, my good friend and my current partner, George Soros! Don't look at him as an old guy, but his mentality is still the same. You are very young, you should also be good friends."

"Hey, Jim! You can't slander me like that in front of new friends!"

George Soros laughed and cursed and kicked Rogers, as if to prove that he was not old.Then he turned his head and stretched out his right hand to Carter with a smile:

"Hello, Carter! Welcome to our party, I'm George."

George Soros. Quantum Fund
He stretched out his hand numbly and shook the other party. Carter's scalp is numb now.These keywords are strung together, and he already fully understands why the name Quantum Fund was always familiar to him before.

Isn't this the hedge fund managed by Soros? !The gamblers and lunatics who dare to use their own strength to fight against the national financial institutions are not the seemingly harmless Soros in front of them? !

Oh my god, where the hell did I get myself into? !

From 89 to 92, he attacked the Bank of England, the British pound, the Italian lira, Spain and the German mark later, and the Japanese yen in Southeast Asia did not escape his clutches.
Although the subsequent plan to attack the Japanese Yen seemed to have failed a little bit, it couldn't cover up this guy's reputation.At least, he sniped the pound, and he really did it!At the moment, the British pound may be more powerful than the U.S. dollar. Its status as the leading currency for more than two hundred years was almost overthrown by this guy himself.

These crazy moves, even just thinking about them, made Carter's scalp tingle.As a time traveler, he didn't even think about these big things, no, he didn't just think about it, but he didn't dare to think about it.As a result, now you tell me that this old man who looks mediocre in front of you dares to think, how dare he do it, and finally let him do it? !

This magical reality made Carter unable to recover for a while.And Carter's abnormality quickly attracted everyone's attention. Julian, who cared most about Carter, was the first to ask:
"Carter, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

"Ah no, I mean, I had some wine at noon, and I was a little confused just now. You know, I just made [-] million dollars, and I was a little too excited."

Carter explained dryly, without making everyone suspicious.Instead, they all laughed and looked at Carter with an understanding smile. Soros patted Carter on the shoulder and said:

"I heard from Zhu Li that you are only 16 years old this year. Thinking about when I was 16 years old, don't say [-] million, you can earn [-], no, [-] dollars, it will make me crazy!"

"Yeah, let me think about what I was doing when I was 16 years old. It seemed to be selling peanuts and drinks. After more than five years, I only made two hundred dollars. After returning my father's one hundred dollars, I still have 100 left, and I was so happy at that time."
