Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 204 [Those who turn their hobbies into careers are happy]

Poof, Megan laughed out loud and quickly added: You are so brave.

Wang Jingjing also laughed: I followed him to the hospital and got to know him. I found that his character is really very good.

Guo Xu took a breath. People like this who don't know how to act within their capabilities seem to be prone to accidents.

No, it seems that if Guo Xu hadn't created the butterfly effect, this man would have died. Now he has an extra life.

As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later. They were a couple who never knew each other, but now they are together. Thinking of this, Guo Xu felt a sense of accomplishment, as if he had been sublimated and possessed the divine status, and his divine name was...Yue Lao.

Your family conditions are not bad, right? Guo Xu asked curiously.

Yeah, but I haven't decided what career I should do yet. I have difficulty choosing, and everyone in my family probably has this problem. Robert said with a wry smile.

What does your family do? Guo Xu asked.

In the venture capital industry, you invest some money into a company with potential for development. After it goes public, you will get a certain share of the stock to receive dividends. You can also sell the stock. You basically don't participate in decision-making. It's a very boring job. Robert explained.

It sounds boring, but this industry is prone to invisible rich. They live a life that ordinary people cannot imagine, and the level of luxury is like a fairy tale in the sky. However, they are not very famous. They live among ordinary people and there are never any scandals.

For example, venture capital invested in Alibaba in the early stage. If it invested US$100 million to account for 20% of the total shares, it would be diluted to 10% by the end of the listing. Jack Ma's 5% shareholding is US$20 billion, and the 10% is US$40 billion. Net profit in five years was US$39.9 billion.

Of course, if venture capital is not accurate, no matter how much money it invests, it will be in vain. If there is no gain, the investment money will be repaid. In this line of work, Robert's family must have difficulty choosing. This thing is no joke.

Guo Xu asked: What are your usual hobbies?

Does having fun count as a hobby? My parents always say that I don't do my job properly, but I just like music, sports, movies, and variety shows. Robert smiled a little silly.

Then invest in these things. You love to play, so you must know what is fun and what attracts people. Come up with more things that everyone likes and entertain the public. Guo Xu suggested.

Megan's eyes lit up immediately next to her. She turned her head and glanced at Guo Xu, her body trembling slightly with excitement.

She took two deep breaths to calm down.

Is he helping me? That's for sure. If a rich friend is willing to invest in a movie, can I be the default heroine? Maybe it’s a tailor-made role.

Robert thought for a moment and looked like he suddenly understood: What you said makes sense. Next I will study entertainment. Unfortunately, I don't have any connections in this area.

Guo Xu smiled and said: Take your time, I'm just making a suggestion. In my opinion, people who turn their hobbies into careers are happy.

Interest is an invisible motivation that makes people willing to spend more time studying. Continuous investment will accumulate professional knowledge and increase people's chances of success in this field. And when you do something that you are willing to do from the bottom of your heart, you will naturally enjoy it and have a good time.

Developing a hobby into a career is a long-term process. If you like it, it does not mean you can become a god immediately. You must be able to endure loneliness. The boring and repetitive learning process will not give people the happiness of flying.

Day after day, year after year, successful people in any field are often those who persevere. This is the happiness gained through continuous accumulation, perseverance, enjoyment of the process, and acceptance of the results.

Guo Xu would not throw cold water on Robert, and he did not say how many people in the entertainment industry he knew. They had met twice in total, but they had only a superficial friendship, and it was still early for them to become good friends.

Now that they know each other, they can contact him occasionally. He is a potential connection. Guo Xu has a wide range of friends.

Guo Xu soon saw the power of the straight man again. Obviously Robert was not a braggart like Statham, but some of his words made people want to hit him.

The four of them chatted about their careers, and when they talked about the entrepreneurial funds provided by their families, Robert said a little embarrassedly: My parents said that I was not doing my job properly and that my performance was not as good as my brother and sister, so they were only willing to give me 100 million to start a business.

It is now 2001, and the exchange rate is 1 to 8.277. If converted into RMB, his words can be translated as My family only gave me less than one billion and ignored me. How can I live like this?

Meeting such a top-notch person with a quite honest personality, it’s not surprising that Wang Jingjing fell in love with him. He probably went to the United States directly after studying abroad. Yue Lao Guo Xu unexpectedly helped a Chinese fellow to catch a golden husband.

Wang Jingjing is also a good character. She is a lady, a top student in China, and is in college. Guo Xulu was raped five times when she yelled at the injustice, but she didn't run away every time. She thanked Guo Xu for his help. The two chatted a lot, but they didn't call.

When returning home, Megan asked excitedly: If Rob invests in making a movie in the future, can he let me be the protagonist?

It depends on whether he is willing to do it in the future. I'm not very familiar with him. Even if we are familiar, we have to consider this issue carefully. We can't let our friends lose a lot of money. Can you play the heroine with your poor acting skills?

My acting skills will get better in the future. Megan said confidently.

Haha. Guo Xu thought to himself: This may be what your Golden Raspberry Award acceptance speech was about.

Megan was not angry at all. Although Guo Xu often said something sarcastic about her poor acting skills, in fact, he had given her a lot of help in her career, otherwise she would not have been able to get a supporting role in the movie.

She followed Guo Xu to Hollywood and met many actors and directors who followed the Lakers, such as Jet Li, Hugh Jackman, Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson, etc.

These are all great connections. Although the big names didn't say a few words to her, she was already very happy. A year ago, these people were out of reach for her, and she would not necessarily get signed if she asked for one.

In the afternoon, Megan went to school, and Guo Xu stayed at home alone to surf the Internet, browsing news reports about yesterday's game and reading reviews.

His popularity has grown significantly and many coaches have reviewed him, almost all with positive reviews.

Mavericks coach Nelson said: Jason Guo is definitely not the kind of player that people imagine, who only relies on the system. Strength is the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the league. It's a pity that the Mavericks passed him by. I didn't know him at that time. So strong.

Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said: Compared to the triangle offense, I think he is more suitable for the pick-and-roll offense. He can break through and score, and he can also drive his teammates.

76ers coach Larry Brown said: Jason Guo is a very scary point guard. He is similar to Iverson in many aspects, but he is too obsessed with outside shooting. It is too conceited to say that he will surpass Iverson in the future.

A wild surge directly increased Guo Xu's scoring average by 0.8 points per game. In addition to the 40+ points against the Celtics, his scoring average has increased to 19.3 points, not far from 20+ points.

This is a remarkable stat when he mainly plays as a substitute in his rookie season. Very few sixth men can average 20 points per game, not even Ginobili or Crawford in the future.

Of course, Guo Xu still has to work hard in the next 16 games. It will not work if he takes too few shots. He has to ensure 20 points in each game, plus a few 30+ games to achieve his goal.
