Chapter 200 Lunch at Julian's
"I understand what you mean, and I can also understand your current difficulties. What I tell you is just a kind reminder."
Julian, who has had so many phone calls with Carter, is also very aware of the current situation in south-central Georgia and the pressure on Carter's shoulders as the only savings bank owner in those two small cities.
"In the stage of small capital, if you want to develop and seek breakthroughs, you really can't think about risk control. For example, doing risk hedging, diversifying investments, etc. In the end, even if you make a profit, you can't do it in the short term.
You can’t make much money inside. Only active and radical strategies, just like what George and his friends did, can quickly accumulate enough capital.”
"I just want to say that although your current amount of capital cannot be said to be large capital. But in terms of the current scale, it is already quite large. If the projects you are doing now continue to improve, your capital will expand.
The speed will also expand at an exaggerated figure. As the scale of capital becomes larger and larger, your grasp and attention to risks will increase and you will pay more and more attention to it!"
"I'm telling you about Mr. Bogle's experience just to tell you this. If you go too smoothly on this road in life, you will inevitably get a little drifting, and it's easy to stumble if your feet drift. I don't want you to be like him.
..."
When Julian said this, he suddenly laughed:
"It's the same as him in every sense. For example, now, his ambition has almost been defeated. He was once a proactive fund manager, but now he has turned around and started an index fund, relying on compressing internal costs in exchange for profits.
..”
Having said this, the two of them also arrived at the door where they received their license plates. After gathering themselves and adjusting their facial expressions, Carter had to endure the pain and straighten his neck.
After all, it's not appropriate to bring Licolis with you on this occasion...it's also inappropriate to tilt your neck...
Following Julian into the office, and after receiving the framed RIA license plate, the group set off again to Julian's home.
Julian's house is located in Long Island, New York. This place has always been a wealthy area in New York. The surrounding environment is peaceful and quiet, accompanied by the bright sunshine and the May breeze. When the two little ones saw the car coming, they immediately stumbled around.
The child came over. Several adults behind him hurriedly chased the child, fearing that the child would be hit by a car...
"Hahaha, Spencer! Did you listen to Uncle Wyndham today and not cause trouble to your mother?"
After parking the car, a bright smile broke out on Julian's face, and he picked up one of the little ones and spoke affectionately of the little talk between father and son.
While little Robertson was babbling and answering that he was honest and obedient, Julian picked up another little one from the ground:
"Oh~ Our little Chase has become handsome again! Tell your uncle quietly, is there any girl in school who can write you a love letter?"
"Hahaha, how old is he! You have to have some logic when joking, right?!"
Among the adults behind the little ones, a middle-aged man whose facial features were very similar to Julian's also walked out. While teasing Julian, he reached out and took the two little ones in his arms:
"Spencer, Chase, you are four years old! You can't always be held by others. Come on, stand on your own like a man! Dad's friends are visiting the house today. You have to act sensible, otherwise your dad will
How shameless?"
"Haha, everyone is here so early! Carter, look how popular you are, everyone can't wait to see you!"
The group of people stood on the lawn by the roadside, having a good time, really looking like a peaceful time. Taking Carter's arm, Julian began to introduce his family and friends to Carter:
"This is my eldest brother, Wyndham, and that is my sister Blanche, and my brother-in-law Bacon!"
Bacon?!
While feeling amused by this name, Carter put on a smile and shook hands with several people one by one.
"I've long heard that Julie has a lifelong friend in New York. I've always wanted to meet you, and today I got my wish! You are indeed a talented person, but it's a pity that Josie was busy in the kitchen and couldn't see you right away!"
Julian's eldest brother was the last to hold Carter's hand, smiling particularly kindly. The touch on Wyndham's broad palm was a little rough, similar to the feeling Carter had when he shook hands with some workers and farmers in Douglas.
Coupled with a voice that was very similar to the accent of the southeastern United States, Carter felt very familiar for a while.
"Hahaha, you can see Josie later! Josie is my wife, and there is this little guy, my youngest son Spencer. By the way, where is Alex? Where did he go to play again?"
"It's a rare weekend when he's with us old guys. How can he stay there? He's a young man!"
The bustling crowd walked into the room as the two little ones jumped around. After hearing the commotion, two middle-aged women appeared in the kitchen. After experiencing the courtesy and warm greetings again, everyone sat down on the sofa.
Lycolis, who felt like an outsider, took the initiative to take the two little guys to the lawn outside the house and continued playing. But indoors...
"I'm sorry, brother, the banquet tonight is very important to me, so I can't go home for dinner. After these two days of work, I will take time to accompany you and stroll around New York."
"Hey, your business is important, and you're busy! Come on, Carter, eat an apple first to cushion your stomach!"
After handing the first apple he had just peeled to Carter, Wyndham smiled generously and picked up the next apple:
"This is a major event in your life! You have invested all your life savings in it, and you can't take it too seriously. As for us, it's still a long time, and I won't be able to do it soon!"
After chatting for a while and nibbling an apple, lunch time was about to arrive. One dish after another was served to the table, many of which were unique to Julian’s hometown of North Carolina. It’s just that...
"Hahaha, try this North Carolina specialty. If you really don't like it, just eat something else!"
Carter's dazed look as he stared at the plate of paste in front of him caught the eyes of Julian's family, causing them to smile kindly. Big brother Wyndham even smiled and said:
"Many people are not used to our North Carolina flavor. The main reason is that time is limited, otherwise we would make roasted whole pigs. North Carolina's roasted whole pigs are truly delicious and suitable for all ages! As for this liver paste, many people
I can’t even get used to it.”
"Hey, this... let me try it! If you didn't tell me, I really didn't know this was pork liver."
Carter smiled bitterly and picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of minced pork liver that was chopped into fine pieces with a kitchen knife, then scratched the ice cream ball on top of the pork liver paste, and then put a piece of it into his mouth...
Carter, who didn't really like pork liver, was already prepared to feel nauseated when he felt the must-have texture of hot and cold, as well as the salty and sweet taste in his mouth. As a result...
This thing looks like a piece of shit, but it tastes surprisingly good!
