Chapter 1782 1784 [Beauty favors]
Brooke Shields had already become famous in the United States because of her outstanding words and deeds at the time.
At the age of fourteen, she did an advertisement for CK jeans, [Do you want to know what is between me and my CK jeans? Nothing! 】
?Although he was banned by many TV stations for being too provocative, CK jeans still sold millions of pairs. This shows the appeal of Brooke Shields.
Therefore, although she played just a vase heroine, her status in the crew was higher than that of the male lead Xiang Nan.
Even her salary is twice as much as that of Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan''s salary was only 200,000 US dollars, while Brooke Shields''s was 400,000 US dollars.
In addition, she is so beautiful in person and is known as the eighth wonder of the world. Therefore, she is very favored by the crew and can be said to be supported by all the stars.
Many of the male artists on the crew would hang around her after work. Even just saying a word to her feels like a blessing.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In with with with with withdraw with with her daughter, Brooke Shields'' mother Terry Shields, in order to prevent her daughter from falling in love early, and being taken away by these young artists, she guarded her tightly and stayed by her side all day long. Except for producers and directors, anyone else who dares to approach her will be chased away by Terry Shields.
But Brooke Shields is not a puppet after all, she also has feelings. She thinks Xiang Nan is very good. He is young, handsome, and talented. His acting skills, singing voice, and materials are so good that she is a little surprised. Therefore, she is happy to follow 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 is prevalent, and it is impossible for a Chinese like him to succeed in Hollywood. In this 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 had such strict requirements on her. Not only did she insist on studying after work, but she also took her to learn painting, dancing, and horse riding... She was completely built according to the standards of a socialite, and she was strictly prohibited from having intimate behaviors before marriage.
??If the daughter followed Xiang Nan in a daze and was robbed of her first time, wouldn''t it be like a flower stuck in cow dung? Therefore, she strictly prohibited her daughter from having contact with Xiang Nan.
…
?However, Terri Shields'' worries are completely unnecessary. Xiang Nan has no interest in Brooke Shields at all.
Although she is indeed very beautiful, she really likes hype. In Xiang Nan''s view, Brooke Shields is the Kim Kardashian of the 1980s.
??He doesn''t want that one day after dating her, all the major gossip magazines and tabloid headlines will publish his **** news. That will not do him any good.
?Hence, he didn''t usually run around Brooke Shields as soon as work was done like other artists. Even if he got a look from Terry Shields, he was still happy with it.
He plays investing when he has time.
The year 1980 was the low point of the American economy. Investment is slowing, inflation is high, unemployment remains high, and the stock market is also sluggish...and this is an opportunity for Xiang Nan.
He has invested in some undervalued companies, such as Coca-Cola, Gillette, Bank of America, etc.
He knows that in the next few years, the stock prices of these companies will increase significantly. He would continue to make money until the stock market crash in 1987.
“Ning, are you interested in investing?” Brooke Shields asked with a smile when she heard Xiang Nan calling and asking a securities broker to buy stocks.
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "We have an old saying in China, if you don''t manage your finances, your finances will ignore you. Putting money in the bank is the most uneconomical thing. If you have the energy, you should invest more and realize it as soon as possible. Financial freedom.”
"If you don''t manage your finances, your finances won''t care about you. You Chinese people are really smart." Brooke Shields smiled and nodded, "Then, which investment method do you think is the best?"
“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 launched a variety of incentive policies, and housing prices began to gradually rise.
?If you buy a house for investment, even if the house price falls in the end, you will at least still have a house in hand. It is much safer than investing in stocks and funds.
“If you have strong risk resistance, then I suggest buying stocks.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Then which stock do you think has more investment value?” Brooke Shields asked curiously.
She will be admitted to Princeton University in the future, so she is not as brainless as others think.
“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.
Now that China has reformed and opened up, Coca-Cola will have a brand new, vacuum, huge market of up to 700 million people. You can imagine how impressive its financial reports will be in the next few years. "
When Brooke Shields heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
What Xiang Nan said makes 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 skyrocket, so its stock price will naturally rise.
…
?At this moment, Terri Xiaosi came over and saw her daughter chatting with Xiang Nan. Her face suddenly darkened and darkened.
“Brooke, come here~” she called to Brooke Shields.
“Sorry, I have to leave.” Brooke Shields said helplessly.
She was actually willing to stay with Xiang Nan for a while. He was one of the few men she met who was not annoying, but someone she felt comfortable getting along with.
“Bye.” Xiang Nan smiled.
"Brother, I told you, don''t talk to people casually in the future. You will marry into a rich family in the future, and someone like that will definitely not be worthy of you." Teri Xiaosi taught her daughter, and she deliberately said it in a polite way. Very loud.
Xiang Nan’s ears are so sharp that he can hear clearly clearly, and his heart is inevitably filled with fire.
“Mom, I’m just talking about investment with him.” Brooke Shields said quickly.
“Invest?! He knows how to invest?” Terry Xiaosi sneered, very disdainful.
"I think what he said makes sense, Mom, we can try investing." Brooke Shields nodded, "Buy some Coca-Cola stock, it will definitely rise."
"Don''t listen to his nonsense." Terri 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 have been declining year by year. How could it rise? He did it on purpose. Trick you."
“No way?” Brooke Shields was a little unconvinced.
"Of course, you don''t understand, but I do. I can also buy stocks, but not Coca-Cola." Terri Shields said, "If you don''t believe it, I''ll find some information to show you."
