The little man takes revenge, in two months it will arrive

  The summer vacation is about to end, and Jiang Zhihan feels the urgency of time (because after school starts, there will no longer be such a large block of time available for free disposal), so he becomes more diligent. Now in the library, except for Feng Ayi, Ming Yan and his girlfriend Xiangxiang also often come over to say hello, sit down and chat. Ming Yan feels like a capable and talented guy, he taught Jiang Zhihan many systematic learning experiences, helped him modify the reference book list, and even lent him a set of popular economics university textbooks. However, he said that some content is actually outdated, no need to look too closely. Economics or investment knowledge is not like mathematics and physics, which have eternal truths under certain conditions. Their content must change with the times. Having Ming Yan as a good teacher and friend, Jiang Zhihan has indeed benefited greatly.

  After reading a lot of biographies, as well as books on the history of science, technology, and economics, I had a profound realization: truly exceptional people may not have been all-around prodigies in their youth, but the vast majority of them had a strong interest in a specific direction from an early age and focused intensely on a particular field or even a subfield. As society develops to this point, increasingly fine divisions of labor are inevitable. Nowadays, it's not just that one discipline is difficult to master, but even a single branch of a discipline has accumulated so much knowledge that it's hard for one person to fully grasp, let alone take it further. In this era, it's basically impossible for someone like Michelangelo, who excelled in many fields, to emerge again.

  The cold reality is that inequality in knowledge and information is a crucial lever. In business, to put it simply, due to inconvenient transportation and blocked information, something produced in abundance in location A can be sold at three times the price in location B. If someone discovers this price difference, they only need to transport and sell the product from A to B. As long as the cost of transportation and operation is lower than the price difference, they can easily make a profit. However, when more people discover this price difference, competition will inevitably arise, forcing the selling price in location B to drop, thus reducing the profit margin until it becomes extremely difficult to make money.

  Although this is a simple principle, it has broad applications. In the city of Zhongzhou and even the entire country, the flow of information and goods at this stage is far from reaching international developed levels. This actually gives birth to many opportunities. In terms of information flow, what's more important is people's open-mindedness and enterprising spirit. In the underdeveloped initial stages, the opportunity to make a profit through simple means is greater because there are fewer people competing with you consciously, resulting in a larger profit margin.

  The same principle also applies to career needs. If you can discover industries that currently lack talent or even predict which industries will lack talent in 3-5 years, when the demand surge comes, being one of the few prepared individuals will make you extremely valuable.

  After extensive and careful consideration, one of the areas Jiang Zihan focused on was investment and financial management. The average Chinese citizen still has no concept of investing. They put almost all their savings in banks, with the only choice being how much to save as time deposits or demand deposits. Government bonds are another option. Of course, a very small number of people invest in collectibles such as stamps, crafts, and calligraphy. However, that market is still extremely small and not yet developed. This is actually not entirely the fault of the average citizen, because various investment markets do not exist in China. From hard currency transactions like gold and silver to basic energy transactions like oil and natural gas, from stock trading markets to national and corporate bond markets, from futures trading markets for agricultural products like wheat and soybeans to foreign exchange markets, all these have existed and developed for many years in Western developed countries but not yet in China. For this reason, there are very few people domestically who truly understand these things, with many being purely academic researchers. If one can study and prepare in this area, as Ming said, when the capital market opens, it will be a golden opportunity for the extremely small number of prepared individuals. Based on this analysis, Jiang Zihan gradually shifted his learning focus to finance and investment management.

  This Friday is the time for all library staff to study the important speeches of central leaders, so it will be closed for a day. After finishing his morning exercise and swimming, Jiang Zihan had breakfast and rode his bike to school. He has been riding Giant for more than two months and doesn't know if Gu Wangshan is back, go take a look, and return the bike to him if he meets him.

  Arrived at the playground, turned around in a circle, didn't see Gu Wangshan, but saw Master Yang Lao Yezi strolling in his usual place. Jiang Zhihan hurried forward to ask how he was doing and reported on his recent progress in practicing sitting meditation and breathing exercises, asking for guidance on several questions. Not long ago, the old master had taught him a set of footwork, telling him to practice diligently. The two stood together, discussing and demonstrating for over an hour.

  Suddenly, Jiang Zihan saw a few people seemingly peeking and looking this way, he grumbled: "What are these guys sneaking around for?" The old man glanced over and said: "These few people have been hanging around here for several days already, they should be looking for someone, who knows if it's you."

  Jiang Zhan narrowed his eyes to take a look, but didn't recognize who it was. Among the seven people in the gang that day, he only had some impression of the guy who went to call for help, the big brother who led the way, and one particularly vicious guy under him who added another blow to the victim.

  The old man said slowly: "If they are looking for you, let them wait patiently, don't be in a hurry."

  The old man said: "I heard from Little Lin that the victim has been discharged from hospital."

  Jiang Zhan said: "Yes, they have all come to my home to thank me."

  The old man asked: "How did you find me?"

  Jiang Zihan said: "This world is really small. The kid who was beaten had just graduated from junior high school. His grandfather and my mother were in the same factory, when I was young and lived with my grandparents, we lived on the third floor below our unit building. He also has three sisters, when I was young, I even took them to play together. Later, they grew up, about five or six years ago, they moved out. That day, I looked from afar, but didn't recognize him, he had changed a lot over the years."

  Jiang Zhan continued: "Later, one day, I asked Lin Shu's colleague Jiang Shu for help, and he told the people in our residential area about this matter. You know how fast news spreads in a factory dormitory building - everyone knew within two or three days. His grandparents heard about it, came to verify it, and then found an opportunity to bring him and several of his sisters to my home to thank me."

  The old man smiled and said: "You have seen justice and bravery, and it just so happens that you saved an acquaintance. The cause and effect of this world are indeed wonderful."

  Jiang Zhan said, "Yes, some time ago, there was a person who jumped into the water to rescue someone after hearing that someone had fallen in. When he pulled the person out of the water, it turned out to be his own son."

  The old man smiled and said: "Good people will be rewarded with good fortune, good people will be rewarded with good fortune."

  "What about the girl's situation from a few days ago?"

  Jiang Zihan knew that the old man lived alone in his later years and was very lonely. So, he went to ask for his help with Chen Yimeng's matter a few days ago. Giving him some trouble, sometimes the old man would even be delighted, because there were things to do and things to take care of.

  Jiang Zhan said: "She admitted that she was not pregnant, and it was quite refreshing. However, she said that a friend had an emergency and lied to help her out. My classmate still gave her the money."

  The old man nodded and instructed Jiang Zihan: "You wait for me for ten minutes, don't wander around, just stay here, I'll be right back."

  After a while, the old man came back and said to Jiang Zhihan: "Let's take a look at those people to see if they are really looking for you. You go ahead, turn right after leaving the school gate, and try to find a secluded place to walk. There are several dead alleys over there, all of which are quite long, and there are no people during the day, choose one to walk in."

  Jiang Zhan knew roughly what the old master was planning, so he said: "Why don't we inform Lin Suo instead? Although you, old master, possess unparalleled skills, you're advanced in age after all. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to bear the responsibility."

  The old man glared at him: "Less nonsense, just do as I say."

  Jiang Zihan locked the car and started walking out of campus. As he left the school gate, he glanced back with his peripheral vision and saw two people following him, basically confirming that they were looking for trouble with him. Jiang Zihan slowed down his pace, turned right, walked forward for about 700-800 meters, and saw a quiet alley with no one around, so he walked in.

  Jiang Zihan slowly walked forward, and he could hear the footsteps behind him. The other party didn't seem to be in a hurry either. One person was following closely, while another one was lagging far behind. He chose this alley, which turned out not to be a dead end, and after turning a corner, it led to another road. At this moment, the footsteps behind him quickened, and he turned his head to see four people rushing over - one, two, three, four. The last one who appeared near the entrance of the alley was that henchman who had been the most ruthless that day. Jiang Zihan felt a bit tense but also excited. After crouching for so long and practicing his breathing for so long, although he hadn't formally learned any moves yet, he had even more confidence in himself.

  In just a few seconds, the first person had already rushed to the front. Fortunately, he was empty-handed and didn't bring a long knife or anything. The next moment, Jiang Zihan saw the old man's figure appearing at the entrance of the alley, shouting loudly.

  Jiang Zihan had no time to think about anything else, he just focused on the problem in front of him. He eyed the approaching person and dodged at the last second, making the other person lunge into thin air. With this move, Jiang Zihan was already facing away from the entrance of the alley, but he didn't have time to worry about that now. He charged forward a few steps and grabbed the attacker's hands. The young man tried to throw Jiang Zihan to the ground, but Jiang Zihan wouldn't let him succeed. With a heavy heart, he crouched into a horse stance, as steady as a mountain. The two men's four hands were entwined together, and the other person tried several times to knock Jiang Zihan down, but failed. Taking advantage of the moment when the other person's strength was exhausted, Jiang Zihan seized the opportunity to push his hand, and the man fell to the ground. Before he could get up, Jiang Zihan rushed over and kicked him in the face a few times. The man let out a few miserable cries, covering his face with his hands, and then took two more heavy blows on the back of his head, completely losing his fighting strength.

  Jiang Zihan solved the one, turned around and found that the other three were already lying on the ground, with two steel pipe-like things beside them. Jiang Zihan looked at the old man, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration like an endless river. It seems that martial arts masters are indeed far away in the sky, yet right before one's eyes. In just a flash, three big men were on the ground, still holding their weapons.

  Jiang Zihan thought of Lao Yezi's words and knew that he had started practicing too late, fearing that he might not be able to reach that realm, and his heart couldn't help but feel a deep regret.

  5 minutes later, Lin rushed in with 3 police officers, quickly handcuffing several guys and pushing them into the police car. Lin bid farewell to the old man, then said to Jiang Zihan: "Come with me, go back and testify, write something." Jiang Zihan bid farewell to the old man and got into Lin's car.

  Lin Shao smiled and asked: "Did you have a real combat exercise today?"

  Jiang Zihan retorted: "Indeed just like on TV, police comrades always arrive 5 minutes late."

  Lin smiled and said, "The old man called me and told me to hang back. These guys have informants, if they see someone who looks like a cop, they probably won't make a move." He then asked, "Have you seen real kung fu?"

  Jiang Zhan shook his head: "I had just turned around, and with great difficulty managed to subdue one of the unarmed ones. As soon as I turned back, those three armed ones were already lying on the ground."

  Both of them sighed and said: "What a great man!"

  Jiang Zhihan was able to identify only one person who could provide evidence, Lin Zu'an comforted him saying: "Don't worry, as long as there is one person, it will be much easier to follow the trail. Since this case has been transferred to the criminal police team, they should mainly handle it."

  Lin said: "The person who reported the case for you last time seems to know some people inside the public security system. This case is surprisingly highly valued by the top."

  Jiang Zhan shook his head, he didn't know about Gu Wangshan's family background either, and he wasn't interested in it.

  After finishing all the trivial matters, Lin invited Jiang Zihan to have lunch together. The two sat down and chatted while eating.

  Lin said: "The little river over there has a high opinion of you and says that you are very capable."

  Jiang Zihan smiled and asked about Lin's work.

  Lin said: "Overtime is less than when I was in the criminal police team, working hours are more regular, but there are too many trivial matters and complex relationships, sometimes it feels even more tiring."

  Jiang Zhan said: "Not long ago, I saw a lengthy report that the southern coastal city has the first 110 emergency reporting service. Zhongzhou should also set one up soon. It can alleviate the burden of district police and provide better equipment for duty personnel, giving them more life safety guarantees. In fact, most countries in the world have this system, regardless of their national conditions."

  "What Lin said is that the information here is still too slow and too outdated, and can't keep up with the pace of the times."

  Jiang Zhan said: "The police chief of that city in the south, it is said that relying on this project, he was quickly promoted to deputy director and now he is already the director. This is a rare opportunity for the public security department to demonstrate its bold reform and opening-up thinking."

  Lin said: "Building a 110 alarm center and purchasing related equipment requires a lot of funding. If the above is not resolute, it will not be possible to achieve."

  Jiang Zhan said: "Can't you think of a way to mention it?"

  Lin said: "My level is still not enough."

  "Bringing it up again won't hurt. Even if it's put on hold, when the day comes to really start working on it, you can take the initiative to be the pioneer and lead the way. Who knows, that might just be a shortcut to rapid advancement."

  "Will you definitely ride a horse?"

  Jiang Zhan said: "It's a matter of time."

  "How can you be so sure?"

  "Because the pace of history is unstoppable."

  "Is there another reason?"

  Jiang Zhan laughed and said: "I'm just a kid, ignorant people are fearless, so I dare to say it."

  Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
