Before Xiao Zhen came to Yudong No. 2 Primary School in 1984, Liu Jun was the celebrity. He had a good family background. At that time, Liu's father was a motivated and promising cadre. He was promoted to the deputy division-level cadre at a young age. Then he followed his old leader to the municipal government and was promoted half a level. It was really a glorious time. Unfortunately, as his level rose, he did not stick to his beliefs, and the couple followed his old leader into prison.
After graduating from elementary school, Liu Jun was still as outstanding as ever. He went to Bashu Middle School for junior high and high school. Liu Jun was the president of the student union of both junior and senior high schools. After graduating from high school, he went to the world-renowned Princeton University with a letter of recommendation.
At Princeton, the young Liu Jun was still as outstanding as ever. Because his parents gave him enough living expenses and tuition, he did not have to wash dishes or work illegally to earn a living like other students from mainland China.
This continued until the last semester of his master's degree, when his parents were placed under double supervision. Everything was gone, and Liu Jun felt like the sky was falling.
However, tears and reality were intertwined. At that time, Liu Jun knew that his old elementary school classmate Xiao Zhen had become a rich man by writing books, and he knew nothing else.
Liu Jun drove a four-handed Ford alone on the Golden Gate Bridge looking at the water for a whole night. Then life had to go on. He wiped away his tears, went to the Chinese Students Association, and asked his classmates for help to start his arduous study journey of washing dishes to earn a living.
After completing his master's studies and obtaining his degree, his advisor tried his best to retain this outstanding Chinese student to study for his doctorate. Liu Jun knew that he had to go out to work early, so he successfully joined Morgan Stanley with the recommendation letter from his advisor. However, Liu Jun, who had no social connections, began a difficult life as a financial migrant worker.
Liu Jun knew that his parents had been arrested and that he would have no future if he returned to China, so he worked hard to get a green card. He did not apply for political asylum like other arrested children of officials. Liu Jun, who had been proud for more than 20 years, still had to maintain this dignity.
In 2000, at a reception hosted by the world-renowned Entropy Fund, Liu Jun, who had already worked his way up to the level of global marketing manager, finally got an invitation after much difficulty.
Then he saw his old classmate Xiao Zhen surrounded by CEOs and chairmen from Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Vanguard.
Liu Jun watched silently. His mind was as clear as a mirror. If he walked over, his situation would be completely different.
But Liu Jun was proud, and after watching for a while he returned to his residence.
The next day, he applied to his director and senior partner for permission to expand business in Africa. Looking at his alumni, the leader understood that if he wanted to make a name for himself in a large financial group like Morgan Stanley, he either had to have a network of connections or go to other regions to open up new areas, otherwise he would always be a financial migrant worker.
Liu Jun's senior from Princeton gave him an opportunity to expand his business. Liu Jun packed his bags and went to Africa to develop business. He stayed there for 8 years, working his way up from a financial migrant worker to a director partner and president of Central Africa. He returned to the headquarters to buy a house and land, and then, introduced by his senior director, he met and married a German girl who had just graduated.
The children were born one after another, and by the time the eldest child was in elementary school, the damn subprime mortgage crisis came.
Fortunately, Liu Jun is not responsible for the subprime mortgage business. He is still responsible for the underwriting and agency business of government bonds in countries around the world.
As long as you enter the circle of this kind of business, it can be said that you can make money without loss, which is true for the group and also for his personal income.
Liu Jun is a Chinese at heart, so the Chinese people's innate talent for saving came into play, allowing Liu Jun and his family to safely survive the 2008 financial crisis and live a very comfortable life.
At this time, the couple was still very harmonious, but what he didn't know was that because of long business trips, his German wife had already cheated on him.
Liu Jun is still working tirelessly in black Africa for his small family, but he has reached the ceiling of his career.
He was lucky to have a senior partner who was a director to protect him, otherwise he would always be at the manager level. Now he has been promoted to the regional partner and president level, which is the highest level.
But Liu Jun didn't have these worries. Even if he switched jobs to Goldman Sachs or Vanguard, it would be even harder without someone to protect him. He knew his wife was cheating on him, but he was more afraid of divorce.
As a financial professional, he had wisely separated his property before getting married, so when his wife filed for divorce, Liu Jun calmly distributed the post-marital property and got custody of the child.
After making arrangements for his three grown-up children, including finding a job for his eldest son and studying excellent majors for his youngest son and daughter at Harvard and Yale respectively, Liu Jun packed his bags and returned to his hometown of Yuzhou without worrying at all.
He bought a big villa in Yubei, then bought a shop on Jiangbei Bar Street and opened an American folk bar. He had to wait at home for his parents to be released from prison and provide for them in their old age.
This is the half of Liu Jun's life after he went abroad and became a naturalized citizen. The only thing is that this guy is conservative in financial management and has enough wealth left to live a leisurely life in the second half of his life. The rest of the wealth is for his three children, and that's it.
"Anderson Liu?" A sudden voice reached Liu Jun's ears as he sat on the recliner.
"Xiao Zhen?" Liu Jun didn't expect Xiao Zhen, who had just won the country's top honor, to find him so quickly.
"Yes, squad leader, you are really great. It's so good to hide in the small bar!" Xiao Zhen walked over and the two of them gave a big hug.
"Leader Wang, Director Ma, and Wenfang, please come in and sit down. The wine here is not fake and is very popular among those who have returned from overseas." Liu Jun greeted his elementary school classmates warmly. Their feelings were the purest.
"We are all classmates, so what about leadership? Life is pretty good back home." Wang Chang asked bluntly, taking a bottle of dark beer and blowing it.
