Everyone stepped onto the deck, looking at the boat, which was as flamboyant and unconventional as its owner. How much courage does it take to sail it?
The hull of the boat was so light that it looked like it was floating on the surface of the water. Both sides of the boat were decorated with ornaments bought from Outside World Bass Pro Shops, swaying along with the hull.
Lan Jin didn't make any major changes to the small yacht, but he did spend a lot of effort on the painting of the yacht.
A golden, ferocious, five-clawed flying dragon had been drawn from the sharp tip of the boat to the stern. It looked awe-inspiring.
It had the style of a post-modern artist. It was an outlier among all the beautiful and clean boats.
As a friend, Qin Guan didn't continue complaining. He just turned his head and pretended he hadn't seen anything. Then he started the cold dish party.
Actually, he was more interested in the purpose of their meeting.
He Ming used the style of talking at the dining table very well in the United States. In just a few minutes, everyone started chatting.
"Qin Guan..."
"Yes?"
"Lan Jin and I have set up a small trading company. The basic structure is ready and the business is on the right track. Come and help us."
Qin Guan took a sip of his Bud Light. "I'm not a business student. Why did you come to me?"
"We need an accounting firm to help us with our accounts and taxes. We found several firms, but they were either too big or too expensive, or they weren't famous enough to be trusted."
"Since you are a student from the Economics Faculty of Columbia University, we don't need to go far."
Qin Guan's eyes lit up like the stars in the sky, ignoring the tasteless beer in his hand.
"Really? What are the requirements for setting up an accounting firm in America? "
He Ming adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "All you need to do is get a CPA certificate. You don't have to worry about the procedures for setting up an accounting firm."
"Oh, by the way..." He Ming looked at Lan Jin. "If you don't have enough initial capital, Lan Jin can invest in you for free. You can pay him some interest when you make money.
"This kid has been obsessed with personal investments recently. Waiting for money to come in is his favorite thing now."
Qin Guan let out a sigh of relief. It turns out that setting up an accounting firm in America is easier than setting up one in China. It only takes one person to set up an independent firm. What a free and unrestrained country!
He put the bottle to his lips and took a big gulp. "I don't have much in my bank account. About 1.6 million yuan."
He Ming and Lan Jin were surprised. They nodded. "1.6 million is enough. When your business starts, you won't have to worry about the high prices in New York.
"Look over there. You can easily find a house that belongs to you."
He Ming was pointing at Changdao, which was shimmering in the green trees across the harbor. It seemed to be showing off their great ambitions and looking forward to their bright future.
"Oh, I have 1.6 million..."
"Pfft..."
Qin Guan's calm tone made the three of them spit out their beer at the same time.
"How much?"
"1.6 million dollars?"
They were talking about a multi-millionaire. Qin Guan was the quietest one among them. The members of the Luxury Car Club were making waves everywhere. It was unexpected that the real tycoon was hiding there.
Qin Guan nodded. "Yes, I made it as a part-time model. I just signed a contract..."
The three of them didn't want to talk to him anymore. What's so great about being handsome? He's such a bully!
Suddenly, Qin Guan thought of something. "He Ming, since it's an import and export business, would you like to take a small order?"
"Of course. It's just a delivery job. I can carry my luggage myself. It saves me a lot of handling fees and customs duties."
"That's great. My shop on Chelsea Street has been renovated. The goods inside are like this … Wei Zi, come and talk to them …"
The group of young people who were engaged in conversation forgot about time and space. Their crisp voices floated up in the increasingly quiet night sky, exchanging heartfelt words with the moon that had just woken up in the sky.
Everyone's plan started from this seemingly playful club, but it would not end in this playful club.
Life is like this. When you find your dream goal is right in front of you, you will be full of strength.
If he hadn't been new to the CPA exam and had not promised George Clooney to finish the film before Christmas, Qin Guan wouldn't have been able to do it.
According to Qin Guan's character, he should have gone to the CPA exam by now and won a lot of prizes.
Under Professor Martin's supercilious gaze, Qin Guan packed up his luggage and told Cong Nianwei to keep an eye on the goods in the shop. Then he set foot in the palace of art.
Actually, Qin Guan had been a little hesitant when he had received the script. "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" had an absurd plot and dark humor, which was much better than "The Elephant", which had a depressing atmosphere.
Qin Guan didn't feel any pressure about "The Elephant" though. For Chinese people, it was a failure of American education.
Qin Guan felt a little pressured though. He had to play a Jew though. Not only did he have to change his physical features, but he also had to change his lifestyle.
The story was very interesting. It was adapted from the autobiographical novel written by TV host Chuck Barris in 1984. It told the story of how he worked as a TV host to cover his identity as a CIA killer.
George had actually had a lot of choices. The film company had a lot of candidates, but Chuck had pointed at Qin Guan's photo.
"I was as handsome as him when I was young. Otherwise, women wouldn't have been infatuated with me. Besides, he has the cold aura of a secret agent.
