Putting down his phone, Dong Qiangqiang felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart. The feeling was very similar to the first time he was chased into a tree by a wild boar. He knew in his heart that he was not excited about getting dividends. As a small shareholder with only 7.5% of the shares, he would not get any money at all, and he would only get half of the profits, not to mention that Lao Maozi might object to dividends. What he was excited about was that for Chanchan, it was a good thing that he started making money right after he was founded in 2002. Now he also has new goals and directions, and he can't help but hope that he can replicate the success of 2002 in 2003. .
He also noticed that Duanmu seemed to be very optimistic about the virus being conquered. Dong Qiangqiang was surprised by his determination that the matter would be over soon, because the feedback Dong Qiangqiang received when communicating with his family, Lao Bai and others was completely disappointing. On the positive and optimistic side, Dong Qiangqiang is very confused: Will Volkswagen's domestic sales really not be affected? But no matter how entangled he was, he also knew that the basic work of collecting more information still needed to be solid, and he had to have a basis even for patting his head.
On the other hand, Duanmu called specifically to talk about the importance of CFA. No matter how stupid Dong Qiangqiang was, he could tell that this was Duanmu's request for him.
He went to the library during his review break and studied the CFA exam process in less than half an hour.
Since it is not yet March, the exam registration fee is still an early bird price as Duanmu said. It is 800 euros after discounts. The exam location can be either a German city or a city in other EU countries. Dong Qiangqiang took a look and found that the distance from Trier to Luxembourg was closer than to Frankfurt.
He checked again and found that both Luxembourg and Frankfurt had institutions that provided CFA training courses. On the premise that the course hours were almost the same, the training price in Luxembourg was a quarter more expensive than that in Frankfurt. Despite this, Dong Qiangqiang decided without much thought. Taking training and exams in Luxembourg saves him a lot of time commuting. When paying training and examination fees, he felt distressed and satisfied with the fleeting numbers in his account. He had no choice but to comfort himself, he had to start studying after paying the money. If unfortunately he failed the exam, just think of beating Chen Xiaofei twice. Unconsciously, Chen Xiaofei became his unit of measurement of losses.
A few days after Dong Qiangqiang registered for the exam, the Trier Customs Police, who had been silent for more than a month, suddenly appeared and asked him to go to a designated institution for a blood and urine test the next day. If he did not show up within the specified time or showed up but refused to cooperate with the inspection, , the police will upgrade his punishment in accordance with the law.
Believing that he is not afraid of his shadow, Dong Qiangqiang generously went to the examination as scheduled. The final examination went smoothly and the result was normal. He guessed that the police station wanted to use a surprise attack to catch him off guard. He was secretly glad that he did not leave the country impulsively, otherwise he would not know what the consequences would be.
Qin Youbo in Paris gave Dong Qiangqiang a rare call and asked him if he had returned to China. Dong Qiangqiang said he planned to return in April. Qin Youbo advised him to wait. Some of her classmates from the south fell into the trap when they returned in January, which delayed their homework. Not to mention, she would suffer too, and she didn't plan to go back unless she was completely stable, just to give him a warning.
For some unknown reason, Lu Wei never called Dong Qiangqiang, who introduced her to a teaching job. Instead, Lu Shan called her every now and then to ask for help, thanking Dong Qiangqiang profusely for introducing his sister to a well-paying job. On the first day of the Chinese class, Feng Chong invited Dong Qiangqiang to the classroom to observe Lu Wei's lecture. Dong Qiangqiang thought about it, and finally declined Feng Chong's invitation. He always felt that Lu Wei's behavior was abnormal, and the relationship between the two was not as good as Lu Wei's in prison, but he couldn't figure out where he had offended the other party.
However, there was more than one thing that Dong Qiangqiang couldn't figure out. His university monitor, Li Lei, a preparatory student at Han University, took the initiative to contact him.
Because Dong Qiangqiang didn't have a good impression of his monitor in college, he had only maintained face-to-face interactions before, neither moving around frequently nor getting close. He didn't even pay New Year's greetings to him during the Chinese New Year, but Li Lei didn't seem to mind.
The two of them exchanged a few casual pleasantries. Just when Dong Qiangqiang was drowsy, Li Lei changed the topic and couldn't wait to report to Dong Qiangqiang about his preparatory studies. Then he complained that German politics was difficult to study and take exams. , asked Dong Qiangqiang how he learned at that time, and asked if there were any old learning materials that could be given to him.
Li Lei was not discouraged when he heard that Dong Qiangqiang said that the information in his hand had long been gone. Instead, he asked Dong Qiangqiang what advice he had on applying to university after graduating from the preparatory course, as well as a series of questions such as where he was now, what major he was studying, and whether it was easy to study.
Dong Qiangqiang was very uncomfortable with this kind of cryptic chat, so he only answered the questions he needed to pay attention to when applying for university, and remained silent about his studies in economics at the U.S. Special University.
Not getting the information he wanted to know, Li Lei asked several questions one after another without giving up. Dong Qiangqiang understood clearly that all the new questions had taken a circuitous route. He pretended not to understand the other party's subtext and dealt with it vaguely. He believed that with Li Lei's mind, he would be able to understand his own attitude.
Li Lei's disappointment could be heard through the phone, but he was not in a hurry to end the call. Instead, he talked to Dong Qiangqiang about what he saw and heard at BJ.
Only then did Dong Qiangqiang know that Li Lei had returned to BJ.
He wanted to hear the other party talk about what he saw and thought, and wanted to know what the city where he grew up in had become like now. However, Li Lei seemed to want to whet Dong Qiangqiang's appetite, not only talking in a mysterious way, but also likes to say half and half. Let Dong Qiangqiang guess.
Dong Qiangqiang quickly woke up, suppressed his newly aroused curiosity, and ended this extremely awkward conversation by wishing the other party "Happy Old Age."
Li Lei returned the gift politely, expressing his welcome to return to his hometown to guide his work, and hinted to Dong Qiangqiang that he would contact him again.
Dong Qiangqiang smiled and hung up the phone, then dialed Lu Shan.
Lu Shan's reply was quite explosive: Li Lei was very ostentatious in the preparatory school and was a social expert. He even held a BJ club after school. Whether they were from college or preparatory school, they all came together. What surprised Lu Shan even more was that Li Lei Lei didn't know where he heard that he had a good relationship with Dong Qiangqiang. He would take him to eat and drink almost every now and then, and he would always ask him intentionally or unintentionally where Dong Qiangqiang was now. He could not avoid it every time and was very distressed.
Dong Qiangqiang guessed that Li Lei most likely knew Lu Shan knew him from the fact that Lu Shan lived in the place where he lived before, thinking that Lu Shan was easy to fool because he was young. Thinking of Li Lei's inquiry just now, Dong Qiangqiang said with a knowing smile: "It's hard for you to keep it secret for me, thank you very much."
"Brother Qiang, don't worry. I'm very tight-lipped, and my sister often reminds me not to talk nonsense. This guy named Li is not good at studies, but he likes to socialize. How can you get close to such a person?"
"How do you know he is not good at studying?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"I'll find out just by asking someone in their class."
"He was indeed the monitor of my class at the university in China, but we were not familiar with each other, so I didn't tell him that I was in U.S. University. If he asks again, just say you don't know."
In fact, Li Lei needless to say that by late February, there were more and more domestic news reports on the Internet. The virus was no longer limited to a few well-known southern cities, but began to spread to various places, and it was getting worse. At this time, not only did German TV stations begin to broadcast relevant news every day, but several well-known German financial media, which had always been aloof and indifferent and cared about nothing but the United States, also began to open columns on the second and third pages to introduce the latest situation and analyze China. Regarding the potential impact of the economy on the German economy, the German market also closed a negative line for a week against the background of the rise of the three major US stocks.
Dong Qiangqiang goes to the library to read news online almost every day, and then talks to Dong’s mother on the phone. After his repeated questioning, Dong's mother admitted that Dong's father's condition was not optimistic. After a brief recovery a year ago, he had a high fever again, vomiting and diarrhea, and his whole body fell into repeated coma as if it had been drained. At Dong's mother's insistence, Later, Dong's father was transferred from an ordinary tertiary hospital to BJ Union Medical College Hospital.
Dong Qiangqiang was extremely horrified. Before the phone call was made, the ticket to return to China early the next morning had already been issued. He couldn't wait any longer. What about the Customs and Police, what about the Easter holidays, how easy it was to get tricked when he went back to TMD, he wanted to return to China immediately, right away, and as soon as possible. More than a month of review had given him confidence in the public law exam. , although he is not sure about getting a score of 1, it is definitely no problem to pass. As long as he can pass the public law, it will not affect his ability to start taking advanced master's courses next semester.
Hearing that Dong Qiangqiang had issued the ticket, Dong's mother hurriedly advised: "Qiangqiang, your father told me very clearly when he was sober not to come back now."
"Mom, you are confused. If I don't go back now, when will I go back?" Dong Qiangqiang felt a ball of fire burning wildly in his chest and lungs. The old man who sent him to the platform seemed to appear in front of him again.
"Your dad is now in the best hospital in the country. He asked you to believe in him and the doctors. He will definitely defeat this disease."
"Mom, I'm afraid if I don't go back now, I will regret it later..."
"Qiang Qiang, if that moment really comes, I will tell you in advance that it will be too late for you to fly back. If you fly back now, you can only wait outside the ward like me and not see your dad. This is not you. That’s what Dad wants to see.”
Before Dong Qiangqiang could say anything else, the phone made a "ding" sound and a text message appeared on the phone screen.
"Dear passengers, we are very sorry to inform you that the ticket you booked has been canceled due to a sudden airport strike. XX Company will handle the refund procedures for you as soon as possible. Please pay close attention to more information. If you have any questions, Feel free to call anytime..."
Airport strike? Now? WTF! (End of chapter)
