Chapter 1782 1784 [Beauty favors]
Boji Shields was already famous in the United States because of her out-of-the-ordinary words and deeds at the time.
She did an advertisement for CK jeans at the age of fourteen,【Do you want to know what is between me and my CK jeans? Nothing at all! 】
Although it was banned by many TV stations because it was too provocative, it still sold millions of CK jeans. This shows the appeal of Brooke Shields.
Because of this, even though she played only a vase heroine, her status in the crew is higher than that of the leading actor Xiang Nan.
Even her salary is twice as expensive as that of Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan's salary is only US$200,000, while Brooke Shields' salary is 400,000.
In addition, she is so beautiful, known as the eighth wonder of the world, so she is favored by the crew, and it can be said that she is like a star.
Many male artists in the production crew will hang around her after work is over. Even if it was just to say a word to her, it would be a blessing.
Boji Shields' mother Terry Xiaosi, in order to prevent her daughter from falling in love early, was taken away by these young artists, but she strictly guarded against her and stayed by her side all day long. Except for the producer and director, anyone who dared to approach her would be sent away by Terry Xiaosi.
But Brooke Shields is not a puppet after all, she also has feelings. She thinks that Xiang Nan is very good, young, handsome, and talented. Regardless of his acting skills, singing voice, and materials, she is a little surprised, so she is very happy to play with Xiang Nan. together.
However, Terry Xiaosi was not happy.
In her opinion, it is very difficult for Xiang Nan to make a name for himself in Hollywood.
Because he is Chinese. The United States has always been a country where racial discrimination prevails, and it is absolutely impossible for a Chinese like him to succeed in Hollywood. That being the case, the daughter should not have contact with him.
She hopes that her daughter will marry into a wealthy family and become a noble lady in the future. That's why she has such strict requirements on her, not only let her keep studying after work, but also take her to learn painting, dancing, and horseback riding... She is completely built according to the standards of a famous lady, and she is strictly forbidden to have intimate behavior before marriage.
If the daughter follows Xiang Nan in a muddleheaded way and is taken away by him for the first time, wouldn't it be a flower stuck in cow dung. So she strictly forbids her daughter to have any contact with Xiang Nan.
…
But Terry Shields' worries are completely unnecessary, Xiang Nan has no interest in Brooke Shields at all.
Although she is indeed beautiful, she really likes hype too much. In Xiang Nan's view, Brooke Shields is Kim Kardashian in the 1980s.
He does not hope that one day after dating her, all major gossip magazines and tabloid headlines will publish his pornographic news, it will not be of any benefit to him.
So he didn't run around Brooke Shields as soon as work was over like other artists.
He plays investing when he has time.
The 1980s was the low tide of the American economy. Investment is slowing down, inflation is high, unemployment rate remains high, and the stock market is also in the doldrums... and this is an opportunity for Xiang Nan.
He has successively invested in some undervalued companies, such as Coca-Cola, Gillette, Bank of America and so on.
He knows that in the next few years, the stock prices of these companies will have a substantial increase. Until the stock market crash in 1987, he would continue to make money.
"Ning, are you interested in investing?" Brooke Shields asked with a smile when Xiang Nan called and asked a securities broker to buy stocks.
Xiang Nan was taken aback, then nodded, "There is an old saying in China, if you don't manage your money, it will ignore you. Putting money in the bank is the least cost-effective. If you have the energy, you should invest more and realize it as soon as possible." financial freedom."
"If your ability to resist risks is weak, then I suggest you buy a house." Xiang Nan suggested.
In the 1980s, housing prices in the United States were relatively low. In order to stimulate the economy and encourage people to buy houses, the U.S. government introduced a variety of incentive policies, and housing prices began to rise gradually.
If you buy a house for investment, even if the house price drops in the end, at least you still have a house in your hand. It is much safer than investing in stocks and funds.
"If you have a strong ability to resist risks, then I suggest buying stocks." Xiang Nan said with a smile again.
"Then which stock do you think is more valuable for investment?" Brooke Shields asked curiously again.
In the future, she will be admitted to Princeton University, so she is not as brainless as others imagined.
"I think Coca-Cola is good, you can try to buy some." Xiang Nan suggested, "After all, there is no third beverage company as strong as it in the world.
And China has now reformed and opened up, Coca-Cola will have a brand new, vacuum, a huge market of up to 700 million people. You can imagine how bright its financial report will be in the next few years. "
Boji Shields' eyes lit up when she heard it.
Xiang Nan made a lot of sense. China's reform and opening up allowed the import of Coca-Cola, which gave it a new and huge market.
700 million people, equivalent to one-sixth of the global population. In such a huge market, once Coca-Cola enters, its performance will definitely go up, so its stock price will naturally rise.
…
At this moment, Terry Xiaosi came over, seeing her daughter chatting with Xiang Nan, her face suddenly became gloomy and cloudy.
"Boji, come here~" she shouted to Brooke Shields.
"Sorry, I have to go." Brooke Shields said helplessly.
She would actually like to stay with Xiang Nan for a while longer. Among the men she met, he was one of the few men she didn't hate, but who was very comfortable to get along with.
"Bye bye." Xiang Nan smiled.
"Boji, I told you, don't talk to people casually in the future. You are going to marry into a wealthy family in the future, and someone like that is definitely not good enough for you." Terry Xiaosi taught her daughter, and deliberately said the words very loud.
Xiang Nan's ears are so sharp, so he can hear clearly, and there is inevitably a fire in his heart.
"Mom, I'm just talking to him about investment." Brooke Shields said quickly.
"Investment?! He knows how to invest?" Terry Xiaosi sneered, very disdainful.
"I think what he said makes sense, Mom, we can try to invest." Brooke Shields nodded and said, "Buy some Coca-Cola stock, it will definitely go up."
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Terry Xiaosi curled her lips and said, "Coca-Cola's stock price has been falling for two years in a row. The economic environment is not good, and its sales are declining every year. How could it rise? He did it on purpose. To cheat you."
"No way?" Brooke Shields was a little disbelieving.
"Of course, you don't understand, but I understand. I can also buy stocks, but Coca-Cola is absolutely not." Terry Xiaosi said, "If you don't believe it, I will find information to show you."
