Chapter 14 About the Future
"$140 million."

Xu Yiru has never read a number so seriously in his life.

She repeated it very slowly, pronouncing each syllable with great clarity.

"You mean, the car we're in now, $140 million?"

"Yes." Han Yi, who was concentrating on driving, nodded. He didn't intend to deceive Xu Yiru. After all, in the Internet age, as long as you have the heart, you can find all the historical transaction prices of the same model in less than half a minute.

"$141 million to be exact, a little over $154 million after tax."

Hearing Han Yi's extremely sure tone, Xu Yiru looked like a deflated cute doll, affixed to the smooth and comfortable leather back of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, his eyes were empty, his eyes were looking straight ahead without any focus, and he didn't know what he was thinking something.

After a while, Xu Yiru seemed to have regained her composure. Just as she was about to open her mouth, a cell phone rang in the car.

"Don't Stop Believin'..."

"Hold on to the Feeling!"

"Xiao Xu, can you press the call button for me? Thank you, it's connected by Bluetooth."

At this time, Han Yi really couldn't move his hands. It was the rush hour, no matter if he took I-10 or CA-110, the congestion would make people doubt his life.Therefore, if you want to get from USC to Little Tokyo where Sushimoto is located, the fastest route is to cross the entire city center.

The transportation plan for downtown Los Angeles, like the New York street set for Universal Studios, looks plausible at first glance but has zero practicality.You can only go straight on this street, and you can only turn left on the next street. If you turn left, you will find a temporary no-passing sign standing there... If you don’t play hard, you may eat here at any time ticket.

The most important thing is that the Ferrari is driving on South Street at this time, and the Cecil Hotel is at the intersection in front of it.

That's right, the place where Lan Ke'er had an accident.

In 2015, Han Yi’s high school classmates who were also studying in the United States came to Los Angeles to visit him. In order to save money, they booked an 80-dollar hotel in the city center.When I arrived at the scene, I found out that it was Cecil Hotel, which couldn't get guests, and changed its name on the Internet.

Han Yi urged his classmates to check out quickly and change places to live.He parked the car at the entrance of the hotel, planning to help his classmates carry their luggage in broad daylight.

The frightening thing is that Han Yi felt that the temperature around him was much lower than the outside as soon as he walked into the hotel lobby less than two steps away. In May, Los Angeles approached [-] degrees Fahrenheit, but the temperature in the Cecil Hotel was unexpectedly Like an ice cellar, people can't help but feel the coldness of their lips and teeth.

In the next second, Han Yi's nosebleed was like turning on the faucet, and it couldn't be stopped. It took half a roll of paper to find the front desk to barely clean it up.Han Yi swears that he has never shed so much blood in his life, at least 500cc, but the indifferent middle-aged white man at the front desk looked at him without surprise, as if this kind of thing should have happened .

Han Yi was too frightened to go upstairs, and immediately left the lobby and returned to the car, but even so, he still developed an astonishingly high fever the next day.For a week and a half in a row, the fever could not be relieved. I even missed one of the final exams. In the end, I had to get a certificate from the school doctor to make up the exam and keep my GPA.

From then on, every time he passed this intersection, Han Yi was trembling, and he didn't even dare to look in the direction of the Cecil Hotel.

Xu Yiru is naturally very clear about Han Yi's psychological shadow. In fact, during the week and a half of Han Yi's illness, if she didn't deliver medicine every day, he might not be able to survive. There is no doubt about the strange things.

She nodded and touched the screen with her finger.

At the same moment, the street lights at the intersection of South Street and Seventh Street suddenly turned yellow, and Han Yi, who was still some distance away from the intersection, had to step on the brakes.He and this 250 GT SWB are still in the running-in stage of getting familiar with each other, and this foot brake is a bit heavy.

Xu Yiru's index finger, which was originally pointing to the call button, moved up a few inches due to inertia, and happened to land on the text message notification that just popped up.

“大通账户：一笔贝弗利山奥加拉名车行#03的消费$3317850.49已于03/01/2016 17:59:03 PST完成，该笔消费超过你警告设置中$1000的限额。”

“大通账户：S42H19 LLC.于03/01/2016 17:59:04 PST向账户(6102)存入$2625000.00，该笔存款超过你警告设置中$2500的限额。”

"Chase free risk control information: Is the $2625000.00 deposited just now your transaction? Confirm reply 1, call Chase service hotline and reply 2. Reply STOP to stop subscription."

Three text messages are sent from the same number and appear in the same dialog box.

Now, it's hard not to see it.

If the reality is an animation, then Xu Yiru's hair should have been standing on end by a thunderbolt outside the frame.

What the hell?

Reality show?
Xu Yiru swallowed hard, turned her head, her eyes met with Han Yi who was waiting for the red light and had time to look at the phone screen.

"Then what, Xiao Xu, I..."

"I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to see it. I accidentally clicked on it." Xu Yiru quickly exited the text message, returned to the call interface, and pressed the call button, "I'll help you press it!"

"Mr. Han, this is Ryan. This is our office number."

"I'm calling to inform you that your transaction at Ogala Famous Cars has been successful, please pay attention to check the text message." Ryan's energetic voice came from the speaker, "In addition, Brandon just sent Responded. Three buyers have withdrawn from the bidding, and now there is one real-name buyer, Mr. Howard Shore. He raised the offer to $3420 million. Brandon would like to know if you will further increase the offer.”

"Is that composer?" Han Yi was talking about the Canadian soundtrack composer of the Lord of the Rings series.

"No, it's a financial entrepreneur from the UK. The founder of Shaw Capital Group."

"Then... let's try 3450 million US dollars, please quote the price."

After hesitating for a moment, Han Yi decided to make an offer in front of Xu Yiru.

I didn't intend to hide it.

Why hide it?
Not stolen, not snatched.

It was the compensation from the mobile phone that slapped me.

Han Yi stepped on the accelerator and drove forward facing the green light, while secretly observing Xu Yiru's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Another shock.

Xiao Xu has been chopped black and is smoking.

Han Yi didn't bother Xu Yiru who was in shock, and they arrived at Suyuan more than ten minutes later.There were not many diners at 06:30 on Monday, or most of them were still stuck on the road. Under the guidance of the receptionist, the two sat down in the northeast corner of the restaurant.After ordering dishes and refilling tea, Han Yi didn't take the initiative to bring up the topic that both of them were thinking about until their staple food was served.

"It was given by my family." Han Yi first threw out a conclusion like a ballast stone, "I am going to stay in the United States to develop, so they paid a sum of money and let me manage it."

You might as well tell me it was Powerball.

Xu Yiru complained silently in her heart, and it took more than two years for the two parties to have a deep and thorough understanding of each other's family situation.When Xu Yiru was Facetime with her mother, Han Yi who was sitting in the driver's seat would also warmly greet her.

And as long as Han Yi's mother knew that he was with Xu Yiru, she would call the wechat video and chat with the girl without accident.

Nothing else, the Han family is full of Xiaoru's fans.

Xu Yiru likes Auntie Ling who is straightforward and straightforward, but if she wants to convince her that Han Yi's family is a secret and invisible rich man, it is really better to tell her directly that Han Yi won the Powerball in the last issue.

How can there be an invisible rich man who uses a Ford Maverick to test his children while paying nearly [-] U.S. dollars in annual tuition fees?

In fact, even at this moment, Xu Yiru does not believe that Han Yi really became rich overnight, but the Russell Red Ferrari in the parking lot, the three text messages on the mobile phone, and the call from the personal consultant of Chase Bank all made this hard fact obvious. In vain lay in front of her.

"That's good, it means that Auntie trusts you and is going to enter the society independently." Although she thought so in her heart, Xu Yiru never questioned anyone, even if it was someone she didn't like very much, she would never say anything Feel her negative emotions.

Otherwise, the boy wouldn't be able to last that long.

"However..." Xu Yiru carefully considered the words, "Even if there is money in the account, it is right not to spend it carelessly. Look at so many lottery winners, how many of them can keep their money?"

"I think, about the house... you can think about it again, think about it more. After spending all the money, it will be more sad when you need to spend it later." Xu Yiru expressed herself in the least abrupt and gentle way concern.

More than 3000 million US dollars, no matter how much you give, you can't spend it all at once!

"It's not all spent." Han Yi took a bite of sushi rice and put it in his mouth.Come to Sushi Moto, he only eats this kind of sushi called Chirashi, which is actually a variety of sashimi covered on sushi rice, and then served with Japanese pickles and wasabi.

The cooking concept is similar to the rice bowl in his hometown.

"Ah? No?" Xu Yiru's carefully concealed surprise was finally revealed, "That is to say..."

"They paid 1.85 million." Han Yi nodded, swallowing the sweet and sour rice, "U.S. dollars."

Silently holding up the hot tea in front of him, Xiao Xu has never been so speechless since he was born.

What else do you suggest?

The electric thing in life has already been blown away by Han Yi.

"So, I just use part of it to buy a house. After all, I want to stay here for a long time in the future. It is also right to buy a more comfortable place." Han Yi helped Xu Yiru add some tea, and smiled friendlyly, "Most of the funds, I still have I want to spend on my career."

"Have you figured out what to do?" Xu Yiru got a little refreshed and sat up, "Are you going to start a business?"

"Entrepreneurship or investment is fine." Han Yi curled his lips noncommittally, "I only have a vague idea of ​​how to operate it, but you must know which line I want to do."

"Music, as well as media, culture, fashion, etc." Speaking of this, Xu Yiru suddenly found that she knew a lot about this best friend in front of her who was unfamiliar today. For some reason, this made her inexplicably happy.

Xiaoru shook her head, her fingertips danced rhythmically on the teacup, and her extremely cute and sweet smile made the male diners who were peeking around a little dazed.

"Yes, there are some new technologies related to these fields. I also want to try."

Han Yi stared at the perfect face at the other end of the dining table, and a string of small bubbles called pride floated in his heart.

The girl who is fascinated by it all over Asia has a lot of favorites about herself.

People always have vanity, who would encounter this kind of thing, and not have to cover the quilt for a long time?
"My suggestion is to start with music, Yi Yi, this is your best major." Both of them are in a better mood, and the atmosphere of chatting becomes more active, "I heard that private banks have some consultants in this field." , have you consulted?"

"That's... not yet." When I went to Century City yesterday, my mind was full of consumption and rewards, and I didn't even think of asking these.In addition, I didn't conceive a feasible plan at that time, even if I consulted at that time, I could only get some vague directions, "You are very reasonable, I made an appointment with Chase's business relationship consultant on Friday. Let's have a meal, and then we can talk carefully."

"Hmm!" Xu Yiru stuffed a piece of fried chicken in his mouth, and nodded while chewing.

"Then what, you go with me!" Han Yi patted his head, "Help me as a staff officer."

"Me?" Xu Yiru's cheeks were bulging like a hamster, his eyes widened, he pointed to the tip of his nose, and asked vaguely.No matter what kind of movements and expressions, as long as Xiaoru makes them, there is a feeling of Disney's two-dimensional animation.

Every frame is exquisite and flawless after dozens of hours of careful polishing.

"Yes, you are much more professional than me in financial management."

Although she is not a financial major, Xu Yiru does have a keen sense of financial management. Her strength is not short-term, but value investing.When he was still in high school at Taipei American School, Xu Yiru joined the school's financial club and opened his own US stock account with the help of his father.

In October 2012, Netflix’s film and television streaming platform just tested the water in Denmark, and dared to hold $10 until now. Have you ever seen a ruthless person?

At the time, Netflix was $9.28 per share.

In March 2016, that figure was $3.

This is just one of the small evidences of Xu Yiru's long-term vision. In her previous life, she had opened up two luxury apartments in Wenxin Xinyi alone.If it hadn't been for a new life, the speed of wealth appreciation of this little rich woman in Treasure Island in front of him would never be able to catch up in his lifetime.

"What are my points?" Xu Yiru shrugged her hair on her shoulders shyly and said softly.

In front of the US$1.85 million Han Fuhao, she really has no confidence.

"Why, you can share the hardships, but not the joys?" Han Yi drew his tone with a straight face.Even with an advanced vision of the future, Han Yi respects a genius like Xu Yiru who can glimpse future trends with his own financial intelligence.He will feel much more at ease when he makes a decision with a close friend who knows everything about it.

"Same happiness with me?" Xu Yiru smiled brightly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."

"I told you just now that I'm raising you. I'll treat you today, so don't snatch it." Han Yi put the card on the checkout tray and said.

"Why would I want to snatch it?" Xu Yiru crossed his arms and moaned, "You have a big face, don't you? How many times have you cheated me by pretending to be poor all these years?"

"You didn't lie!" Han Yi seemed to have been greatly wronged, "You took the initiative to support me."

"Break the relationship, I'm tired." Xu Yiru picked up the phone, "I'll block you now."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Han Yi hastily sent Xu Yiru an emoji of apologizing to Xu Yiru three times on WeChat, "It's not too late to make up for it, right?"

"If you have time these two days, accompany me to Rodeo? Huge reward."

"What do you suddenly want to do in Rodeo?" Xu Yiru asked suspiciously.

"I'm about to invest and start a business. It's not okay to go out to discuss projects and show people this outfit." Han Yi pointed to the gray USC sweater on his body, "My formal clothes are only prepared for the chorus, and I can't go out for a business trip. Tuxedo and white tie for dinner?"

"It makes sense, okay, my sister agreed."

Xu Yiru looked at the schedule on his mobile phone. In his previous life, the media in Taiwan thought that Xu Yiru was an expert at surfing the Internet, so he was able to skillfully use popular words on the Internet in the Mainland.

No one has ever known that this is actually a profound influence from Han Yi.

"And before dinner on Friday? No class after [-]:[-] pm."

"It's a word."

Han Yi held out his little finger to Xu Yiru.

"Dress better then, don't embarrass my Han family."

"... I will lose if I release you from the blacklist before Friday."
