Ronan met the investment manager of Merrill Lynch in a coffee shop in Burbank.

"Hello, Ronan." Scott greeted Ronan politely: "I haven't seen you for a long time."

Luo Nan smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, right?"

The last time we met, the two met in Santa Monica. At that time, Ronan had something to do, and Scott hurriedly walked by and just said hello.

Scott smiled and said, "Yes."

Ronan looked at Scott calmly, just like before, with his suit and ties and his hair meticulously combed, and he looked like a business elite.

But the neat and neat dress cannot hide the haggardness on his face and the anxiety in his expression.

Thinking about the current stock market and then connecting with Scott's work, it is not difficult for Ronan to make some guesses.

"Is there anything to ask me?" Ronan asked.

Scott wanted to speak but stopped, and it seemed difficult to say it.

Luo Nan joked: "Isn't it about asking me to invest? Is the stock market like this now, and it's not suitable for investment."

"Of course not." Scott smiled, but his smile was a little reluctant.

Thinking about more than a year ago, Ronan advised him more than once not to use his own money to play stocks. Even if he invests money in the stock market, he should withdraw as soon as possible depending on the situation.

Even after Ronan withdraws from the stock market, he reminds him to stop at the right time.

Unfortunately, greed blinded his eyes. It was already very dangerous in my mind. But I always thought that someone would take over the market later, and could turn the blame on those behind, and then exit safely with a large profit.

What's the result?

It's simply too miserable. Not only did the family's debt be fully compensated, but I also owed a large amount of debt to the bank.

Scott looked at Ronan's young face and thought about himself. After so many years of struggling in the securities market, he was not as clear as a young man.

Yes, Ronan's career has steadily risen, but he has fallen to the bottom.

People who cannot control their greed will eventually be punished. The price of this punishment is so painful that people want to jump off the building.

If it weren't for his wife and children, he might have gone to Kinmen Bridge last year...

Ronan looked across from the other side: "Scott, we are old friends, just say something."

Scott opened his mouth, saying that it was the hardest to speak for someone, but thinking about the past year's experience, his wife and children at home said, "Ronan, I... I have something wrong with my finances."

Ronan asked: "Due to the stock market?"

Scott nodded slowly and heavily: "I didn't get out in time. When the stock market first fell sharply, I refused to accept the reality. I thought it was a short-term adjustment. I missed the best opportunity to take off my phone and was trapped. No one was willing to take over if I wanted to sell it. I owed a lot of money from the bank. Brentwood's house was taken away by the bank. Almost all the customers in the work were exposed. Merrill Lynch's layoffs in the first two months, I..."

His voice became deeper and deeper: "I was cut off by Merrill Lynch and lost my job. My family couldn't even guarantee the most basic source of living. The bank was still chasing debts, so I negotiated with them to return the debt in installments."

Ronan roughly understood what Scott meant, and probably couldn't find any other way. In his case, no one would lend them to him if he wanted to borrow money.

If you jump off the upper floor, the lender will lose all his money.

"Scott." Ronan was a smart man. He didn't let Scott say what he asked for, and asked, "Have you found a new job?"

"Not yet." Scott shook his head.

Ronan has worked with Scott for a long time and knows this person well. He has a good ability, but his overall view is average.

Of course, it is normal for me to fall so badly this time.

The Nasdaq bubble burst in 2000. Who made a lot of money?

For ordinary people, many rich people are full of blood loss.

The boss of the investment company who went bankrupt after buying the Future World was not even too late to move in was probably worth more than ten times more than Scott's net worth, and he still went bankrupt.

Ronan's head kept turning, and soon thought of the plan that had been stuck on paper. It seemed that Scott could do some preliminary preparations, so that he could prepare for the future formal formation and actually investigate Scott.

Thinking of this, Ronan asked directly: "Scott, do you understand the operation of the foundation?"

Scott looked at Ronan in surprise and said, "Understand. In fact, those who have achieved the position of investment manager are very clear about the operating model of the foundation." He was not a fool either, and asked, "Ronan, do you have a foundation?"

"I'm going to set up a foundation." Ronan said roughly: "Invest in the fund."

I originally planned to wait for lawyer Dinah to get her to plan after this time.

Luo Nan picked up the coffee and took a sip and said, "Since you understand the foundation, you should be very clear that you need to prepare a lot of materials and go through a lot of procedures to establish a foundation. I need someone who can trust to help you."

Scott immediately understood what Ronan meant: "Ronan, I..."

Ronan waved his hand: "Don't talk about this for now, listen to me."

Ronan could not make a rash decision on such a thing. He chatted with Scott for a long time and confirmed that he did understand the foundation's preparations and operation.

And there are basically no problems with dealing with this job.

Ronan said: "Scott, I believe in your ability and character, so I want to hire you."

"Thank you." Scott still said the sentence just now: "Thank you, Ronan, thank you very much."

At this moment, the pressure in my heart was much less.

Ronan briefly talked about salary. Scott accepted his personal employment, which had nothing to do with relativity entertainment.

He has read a lot of information about foundations and laws and regulations before. When the preparation conditions are appropriate, he will establish a foundation independent of the Relativity Entertainment Group.

Scott looked at Ronan gratefully, with vision and ability, and understanding the worldly ways. Such a young man is very rare.

I'm afraid when Merrill Lynch layoffs, Ronan understood what he meant.

But Ronan did not ask him to ask someone to borrow money and instead provided him with a job and paid two months of remuneration, which not only preserved the man's face and solved most of the practical difficulties.

After chatting about specific work, Ronan said: "Tomorrow I will hand over some specific information to you, and you will start to do preliminary preparations... Well, before the end of August, the foundation will be officially registered and established, and there are legal issues..."

He took out his cell phone, found the contact information of lawyer Dinah, and sent it to Scott, saying, "This is my lawyer. You can ask her for any legal issues."

Scott deposited the contact information and said, "Okay."

Ronan said again: "You are so concerned about the early work. Lawyer Dinah is now busy with other work. When the matter at hand is almost done, I will come to help you."

Scott nodded repeatedly. The stone pressing on his chest over the past year seemed to have been moved away by someone, and he felt that his breathing was relaxed and relaxed.

In fact, he knew very well that this was just a preliminary preparation for the foundation registration. There were many people in the United States who could do such a job. Isn’t it a test that Ronan gave him a chance?

If you don't do it well, it's not a problem to substitute people.

The two chatted in the cafe for a long time and made an appointment to meet at Shahai Entertainment the next day. Scott took the initiative to say goodbye.

Ronan is leaving, and he goes out of the cafe with Scott.

"Are Andrea and Taylor and the others okay?" Ronan asked with concern as he walked, "I haven't seen them for a long time."

Scott looked haggard, but his smile became much more relaxed, and he said, "Everything is good. Taylor asked me some time ago when will you be a guest."

Ronan smiled and said, "I will definitely go again if I have time."

However, Scott did not invite him to switch from a detached villa to a rented house, and the psychological gap was not so easy to adjust.

He changed the subject and said, "I didn't think it was before. I only realized that my eyes were so short-sighted. This period was really hard to bear."

As a beneficiary of the stock market, Ronan didn't know how to respond, so he simply said nothing.

Scott said again: "Last month, I went to Mexico with the last little money I had, but fortunately... I didn't go crazy."

Ronan understood what this said and said, "Some things can't be turned back."

Scott breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was also glad, and said, "I'll go to your office to find you tomorrow, the place has not changed, right?"

"No." Ronan shook hands with Scott and said goodbye.

A man actually went to Mexico for his family...

Having said that, this is not the most dangerous profession in Mexico, but the other way around.

Tax evasion in the United States, drug trafficking in the East, and drug control in Mexico are all the highest-ranking professions in the world.

Ronan got on Cadillac and ordered David to drive to Shahai Entertainment. When he returned to the office, he sorted out some information he had prepared when he learned about the foundation's cases and laws and regulations. The next day he handed it over to Scott who came here. At the same time, he called lawyer Dinah and focused on telling him that Scott was temporarily responsible for preparing for the foundation registration.

The materials are definitely not enough, but with a dedicated person in charge, you can make up for what you need later.

Ronan is not very anxious either. As long as the foundation can be registered and established before September, then wait until September, and the American economy will continue to suffer heavy losses.

As for the unreliable idea of ​​finding ways to rescue the innocent people at the World Trade Center, Ronan never considered it.

If this kind of thing is done, it will cost a heavy price.

With Ronan's capital, he might not see the sun in the second half of his life.

After the incident, you can donate some donations.

Having said that, with the style of some charitable organizations, only geniuses know how much money can end up falling on the victims.

Luo Nan can't remember it clearly. It seems that there was a scandal in the 911 donation in his previous life?
