"Do you have anything else to do tonight? Research or sothing?" Zheng Xiweng didn’t directly answer Qiao Yu’s question, and instead, opened with this query.
Qiao Yu shook his head and said, "There’s nothing for now."
"If you have nothing to do, want to co in and sit for a while?" Zheng Xiweng extended an invitation.
Qiao Yu nodded gladly and then followed Zheng Xiweng into the small room on the ground floor.
When he first arrived in Yanbei, he also stayed here. However, after taking a look around, he felt that the ground floor wasn’t quite suitable for human habitation, so he moved to a suite upstairs.
But actually, Qiao Yu always felt that this small ground-floor suite was quite cozy to live in.
Especially with the bed against the wall, sleeping there felt very secure.
And the window faced the road opposite, with the curtains slightly open, you could see people passing outside at a glance, which was quite interesting to observe secretly when bored.
"By the way, what about Zhang Mingyu?" Upon entering the room, Qiao Yu asked.
After all, there was an assistant last ti, but this ti probably didn’t require leaving the country, so only Zheng Xiweng was arranged to be by his side.
"Returned ho for a proposal, he should be getting ready for marriage now." Zheng Xiweng replied.
"Oh? Let know when he does get married, I’ll prepare a big red envelope for him. I don’t have ti to attend in person, so you’ll have to find soone to help send it." Qiao Yu said imdiately.
Qiao Yu was never stingy towards the people who protected him before.
After all, if he wanted to act unrestrainedly, at least do things according to his ideas, these people around him were quite important.
"Haha, alright! Then I’ll thank you on Xiao Zhang’s behalf first." Zheng Xiweng responded with a laugh.
At this point, Qiao Yu had already entered the room and noticed that his small suite had several computers connected.
A total of six monitors were installed everywhere, making it look like a mini command center.
Probably for heat dissipation, even the air conditioning in the small room had been replaced.
"Tsk tsk tsk... It looks quite professional." Qiao Yu remarked.
"The security work of the International Mathematics Research Center has been taken over by us. Not only for you, but for the project you recently applied for, all future selected scientist teams will be under our protection."
Zheng Xiweng explained succinctly.
Qiao Yu knowingly nodded his head. It seed like everyone was taking things seriously this ti, he figured it wasn’t just about protection anymore.
"Want sothing to drink?"
When Qiao Yu sat down on one of the only two chairs in the room, Zheng Xiweng asked.
Qiao Yu shook his head and said, "I just had two cups of coffee at Professor Schulz’s place, no need for drinks."
"Oh, you don’t seem to be interested in the stock market or the cryptocurrency circle?" Zheng Xiweng didn’t bother with politeness and asked directly.
Qiao Yu nodded and replied, "I’m not interested in things with too many uncontrollable variables."
Zheng Xiweng laughed and said, "Actually, you can pay a little attention to these things. With your intelligence, understanding these wouldn’t consu too much energy. "
"Furthermore, at your level, it’s necessary to have a little understanding of everything. Materialism sees everything as connected. Of course, I don’t an to encourage you to start trading stocks. Just simple awareness."
Saying this, Zheng Xiweng casually operated the computer, and Qiao Yu saw two screens in front of him filled with a striking green color.
"These are the overnight trading data from the Chicago rcantile Exchange, the New York rcantile Exchange, and the European exchanges. See anything?" Zheng Xiweng asked.
Qiao Yu glanced casually and ca to the conclusion, "Precious tals and energy showed quite pleasing gains last night, and agricultural products rose quite a bit too. It seems the money from the cryptocurrency circle has found its place."
"Yes."
Zheng Xiweng casually remarked, nodding his head before saying, "So now, the world is waiting for the US stock market to open, waiting to see today’s performance."
Qiao Yu blinked.
"The US stock market doesn’t open until 9:30 PM. Also..." Saying this, Zheng Xiweng glanced at the ti in the computer’s lower right corner and continued, "There’s only about ten minutes left. Let’s keep an eye on it together today."
Qiao Yu blinked, suddenly realizing that the teacher who used to teach him about safety had probably prepared another political economy lesson today.
But it didn’t matter.
Although he’s not interested in the stock market, occasionally looking at the ups and downs can be interesting.
"Do you know what the total market capitalization of the US stock market is?" Zheng Xiweng asked again.
Qiao Yu shook his head; he truly didn’t care about these things.
"As of yesterday, it was 59.8 trillion US Dollars. It peaked at 63 trillion US Dollars two years ago. Even now, after dropping a bit, it still accounts for 50% of the global corporate total market value."
Zheng Xiweng casually rattled off a string of data, clearly prepared in advance.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Arica is really rich!" Qiao Yu subconsciously exclaid.
Casually, that’s nearly 60 trillion US Dollars in market value; if converted to RMB, it’s 420 trillion...
Such a massive market, no wonder the whole world is concerned.
This is truly the livelihood of billions of rchants.
Qiao Yu truly couldn’t understand why when he was in Philadelphia he felt ordinary Aricans seed quite poor.
After all, the United States only has roughly 300 million people. If you split sixty trillion, everyone could get twenty thousand worth of stocks.
If applied to Huaxia, it would an average wealth levels of millionaires, a super financial power terrifying indeed!
"Yes, indeed quite rich. But you should also know, that just last month, the US debt officially broke the 39 trillion US Dollar mark! This also ans the US National Debt has already reached 106.2% in proportion to GDP!"
