Chapter 580 (1/2)
”I also saw your report and realized another reason for Boeing's low share price. With the end of the cold war, everyone thought that the world would move towards peace. The federal stock market recovered, but the shares of military industry and defense continued to fall. ”
”Simon, you don't seem to think so?”
”I'm a less determined pacifist because I know that war never changes. Although the cold war ended, local wars in many parts of the world have been continuing. Moreover, in order to continue their own interests, some people will deliberately create threats even if there is no threat around them. ”
”In fact, I also think so. It should be right that most of this fund is invested in military industry and national defense stocks.”
Four seasons hotel in midtown Manhattan.
Simon and Lawrence Fink are discussing the investment direction of the black rock asset management company's just raised fund. B girl and Irene Lauder, who is wearing a long black print dress, come together.
Lawrence Fink and the two girls said hello, then walked away with a smile.
Simon and Irene Lauder hugged each other, looked at the girl's dress and said, ”it seems that your preference is hard to change. Well, what kind of flower is this, poppy?”
Irene Lauder gave Simon a white look: ”carnation, how could a girl wear poppies on her body?”
”There must be, but carnations really suit you.”
Irene Lauder looked at the guy she hadn't seen for a long time and asked, ”why?”
Simon pretended to be silent and looked at the girl next to him: ”what's the flower language of carnations?”
Becky hope said with a smile: ”mother's love.”
Irene Lauder turned her eyes to Becky and glared.
Simon waved to Becky in disgust, drove away girl b, and said to Irene Lauder, ”I'll go back and deduct her salary. I'm too dumb.”
Irene Lauder didn't believe, ”are you willing?”
With that, I felt regret, as if I was jealous.
Thinking of some things I heard recently, I still couldn't help saying, ”you are really good to the women around you.”
Simon said, ”yes, that's why I'm so attractive to women.”
Irene Lauder did not lose a wink, but said: ”but you'd better be careful, the woman around you is not simple.”
”Oh, that seems to imply something.”
Irene Lauder remembers that Sophia faessy deliberately created the scene that Simon was missed by a lot of women at the Oscar Party at the beginning of this year. She hesitates for a moment. She doesn't want to be a gossip or stop.
Anyway, I really gave up on him.
So he took the initiative to change the topic: ”my father recently invested in some technology stocks. Simon, give me some advice?”
Simon said, ”as long as you're not greedy, you can make money.”
so, do you think the bubble of technology stocks is very serious now?
”Of course not. It's just the beginning. As a reference, you can collect some cases of railway investment bubble in nineteenth Century.
Irene Lauder doubted, ”is there any reference value for such a long time?”
”History is not always forward, but very similar reincarnation again and again.”
”I seem to have heard that somewhere.”
”That's what Socrates said.”
Irene Lauder felt as if something was wrong: ”Socrates?”
”Yes, if I think it's reasonable and I can't remember who said it, I think it's Socrates.”
Irene Lauder blinked a few times and reacted. She raised her hand to hit Simon with a smile. Seeing the man's serious appearance, she couldn't help but smile for a while. The red wine in the other hand almost spilled out.
After a moment, she finally slowed down. The girl glared at Simon and said, ”do you really mean to change the subject?”
”What?”
”About investing in technology stocks?”
”I've just given advice.”
”I don't understand.”
Simon patiently said: ”don't be greedy, don't press heavy notes, and withdraw decisively after accumulating certain profits.”
”You've said a lot of this, and it's all over the most basic stock manual.”
”The more simple and common the words are, the more wise they are. It's a pity that most people can't do it, so they angrily treat the truth as nonsense.”
”Is that what Socrates said?”
”That's what westrow said.”
Irene Lauder raised her hand again. Instead of calling, she said, ”your wife is going to have a baby, isn't she?”
”Yes, the due date is in early November.”
Irene Lauder thought of the name of the firstborn son of the Westeros and joked, ”what are you going to call this time, Los Angeles or San Francisco?”
”Do you think these two cities can be names?””Yeah, well, like, what about Manhattan?” Irene Lauder said, adding to her excitement, ”Manhattan is good.”
Simon gave Irene Lauder a quirky look: ”in the future, you can name your son Manhattan.”
”If you don't want it, I'll take it,” Irene Lauder said with a tit for tat, and then couldn't help asking, ”what's wrong?”
”Have you seen the catcher?”
”I'm not interested in comics, but I heard the catcher is good.”
”Take time to have a look. There's a Manhattan in it.”
”Good.”
Although she didn't have any other thoughts about the man in front of her, Irene Lauder instinctively felt very happy chatting with Simon. As she was about to continue, Lawrence Fink came up again and said, ”excuse me, Miss Lauder, can I have a chat with Simon for a while?”
