Ace Hollywood - Chapter 397

“Chocolate muffins with maple syrup?”

Lena, the fat waiter in the school cafeteria, winked at Daniel – this lovely lady in her 40s seems to be enjoying it. 【】As long as Daniel comes to eat at this restaurant, he always gets some extra giveaways. Wink today, or blow kisses two days ago.

“Yes, Lina, add maple syrup, I remember I already said it.”

“You have to be considerate of a low-level laborer who is not young, Mr. Big Star.”

Daniel pouted, you don’t look like a low-level laborer.

“You should try our donuts, which are also chocolate-flavored, with a cup of freshly ground coffee, wow, it’s fluttering all day.”

“So there is marijuana in it?”

“What are you talking about, how can you throw such expensive things in, and the chef himself can’t **** enough.”

Daniel took over his chocolate muffins and routinely retreated from Lina.

Stiller has already killed two donuts, “Daniel, you seem to like bickering with Lena?”

“It’s interesting, isn’t it?”

“I can’t understand it, but I can imagine that it may be a high-ranking rich man who can get some freshness from this kind of communication full of low-level atmosphere, which is what you call ‘meaning’? Is that so? I have a problem with understanding. Is it?”

Daniel took a bite of his own muffin. I have to say that some restaurants in Berkeley are really good. Some of the dim sum in this one tastes good, and the maple syrup tastes very fresh.

“Maybe, after all, I often go to high-end restaurants. Of course, this kind of small place will give me some novelty, just like you will be curious when you go to George’s Restaurant on Fifth Avenue. []” Said in a different way.

Stiller looked up at him from his plate full of doughnuts.

“Oh, you look like a rich man with an ugly face now.”

One of the advantages of being in the campus cafeteria is that you don’t have to strictly follow dining etiquette, and someone with a strong voice like Stiller has no signs of being kicked out by the restaurant owner. But his voice was clearly too loud, and the two girls sitting behind them laughed.

“Hey. Lola?” Daniel was startled, one of them was actually the queen of the last party who invited him to perform with him at the school opening party.

“Daniel, can we sit together?”

“…Of course.” Daniel asked Stiller with his eyes, but he obviously had no plans to reject the two beauties.

Lola and her companions sat down with their own food.

Kale, tomatoes, kiwi—two plates of greens and fruit salad with vinaigrette instead of dressing.

“This is Sissi.”

“Princess Sissi? Wow.” Stiller’s expression became milder all of a sudden, “Hello. I’m Stiller Rose, Daniel’s roommate.”

“Hello.” Being teased with the same name as the Austrian princess played by Romy Schneider did not affect Sissi’s mood. In fact, it was originally a beautiful and elegant image, and it was perfect for girls who pursued a ladylike style. ‘s evaluation.

The short breakfast time was over soon, Lola and Sissi said goodbye to Daniel and the others without any lingering.

Stiller winked at Daniel.

“How’s this acting? She’s a goddess in Berkeley.”

“It can be used as a vase for a low-budget movie.”

“Wow, this is not an easy evaluation.”

Lola’s intentions could not be concealed from Daniel. Even Stiller, she was interested in Daniel – the Queen’s performance that was supposed to be at the front of the school party was delayed by her until after Daniel showed up. Yesterday in the f2f Berkeley circle, someone said that Daniel and Stiller frequently appeared in This restaurant, ended up meeting Lola and her companions today.

It’s interesting, but also straightforward.

Daniel doesn’t care what Lola’s plan is. The most important thing is that he has no intention of having a wonderful campus romance with his Berkeley classmates. So whether or not Lola is really what Stiller thinks, for Daniel, there is no need to think about it.

……

Daniel, who had just finished his class, was stopped by a gentleman dressed quite formally.

The person introduced himself as the head of the Berkeley Student Business Association. He wanted to invite Daniel to a small forum they organized—and since it’s a forum, it’s not just a salon model, but an open, public-facing place, whether it’s small or large.

Obviously, they intend to seize this opportunity. Daniel, the super-rich alumnus, please.

Berkeley’s well-known alumni are all over the world, and the professors are also authoritative experts in various fields, so this forum itself is quite high-end – this may be the reason why they came to invite Daniel.

“What’s the theme? There’s always a theme, right?”

“The discussion is about the possible impact of the Fed raising interest rates 17 times in a row, and the scope is very broad. We hope you can participate in the conference on the Internet.”

Under the introduction of this gentleman, Daniel realized that this is not an industry business forum, but a relatively pure academic forum. Since June this year, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to the highest level since the stock market crash in 2000, 5.25%, and after 17 interest rate hikes – it can be said that the financial community is talking about it.

Daniel certainly knows what this means~www.mtlnovel.com~ The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States started from this. High interest rates make borrowers with mortgage loans unable to repay, and a large number of houses enter the market because they cannot repay their loans. As a result, house prices fell sharply, which further exacerbated the liquidity pressure on commercial banks, and the investment banks that invested in commercial bank bonds – eventually leading to the financial crisis that swept the world.

Lehman Brothers, which is still very popular now, has trillions of assets. Since the crisis, it has to file for bankruptcy protection. No one can think of it.

Daniel does not feel that he has the ability to fight against this trend-the reason why the trend becomes a trend is because there is a group of powerful forces behind it, and Daniel does not intend to occupy the opposite of this force now. The assets of 100 million yuan are far from being the opponent of this power.

So, he declined the invitation.

This obviously surprised the other party – although this forum is small, the participation of many Nobel Prize winners in economics and many industry experts has made it highly valued by business leaders.

However, Daniel was obviously serious. When the forum organizer approached him for the second time, he made it clear that he was not present as a representative of Plutos Investment Company. If they are interested in inviting Plutos to be involved, ask them to contact Raymond.

He didn’t want to stand out and be shot, but he didn’t even want to stand up and talk nonsense. (To be continued.)
