Chapter 705: Find a weak spot (Third update, please subscribe)
Our generation has fought the wars of several generations, and now we must go all out to improve the economy!
I don’t know when this sentence became popular in Nanyang.
In the past half century, no people in any country have experienced more and more wars than the Tang people.
War after war has long made people exhausted. Almost everyone is longing for peace and hopes to enjoy the beauty of life.
This is also the reason why many people have a sense of belonging to Nanyang. Everything in Nanyang is simple. There is no smoke of war, no refugees everywhere, and no famine or disaster. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to live a good life. Good times.
And this is also the charm of Nanyang.
I’d rather be a peace dog!
Zhou Zhimin has a very deep understanding of this sentence. After all, he has not only experienced war, but also fought countless battles on the battlefield.
A few years ago, the reason why he came to Nanyang with his wife and children was to live a peaceful life.
"The war is over, it's time to live a peaceful life."
However, Zhou Zhimin's life was not peaceful. Although the Security Bureau did not make things difficult for him as a former agent, life was difficult for him.
After coming to Nanyang, he originally opened a small restaurant, thinking that he could make a living from it, but he never thought that he could not continue to work after only one year, mainly because his skills were too reluctant. .
In order to make a living, Zhou Zhimin looked for several jobs. Finally, with the help of an employment agency, he entered Pigeon Company, not as a technician, but as a salesperson.
The former spy turned into a salesman. Although this step is a bit big, but generally speaking, it is still acceptable. After all, I have even worked as a hotel waiter before. And it turns out that he is very good at sales.
But no matter what, Zhou Zhimin never thought that one day he would come to the United States.
“Would Captain Harris be surprised if he knew he had arrived in New York?”
When he first arrived in New York, Zhou Zhimin naturally thought of his former instructor, a captain in the US military. , but after thinking about it, he decided to finish the work at hand first.
“Okay, the first thing is to find a suitable expert!”
……
Although the United States led the world in the 1950s, nutrition science was just in its infancy. In fact, this was almost the case all over the world, and there were very few professional nutritionists. As for which association is more beautiful?
The nutritionists of this era...basically have self-appointed titles, because there is no such title in the hospital system. In the eyes of some people, this nutritionist should probably be a cook.
In fact, the American Academy of Nutrition was called the "American Dietetic Association" until it changed its name in 2011.
So in this era, there are no nutrition institutions.
Despite this, it does not prevent that there are still a group of nutritionists in the United States. To be more precise, they should be nutrition experts. Among them are university professors and doctors or nurses from major hospitals.
Although during the war, these nutrition experts and nutritionists assisted the military in formulating meal recipes to ensure the nutritional supply of officers and soldiers, this was the extent of research on nutrition.
As for the authoritative experts in the industry!
In fact... there are no authoritative experts at all.
“Since there is no authority, let’s create one!”
As soon as he came to the United States, Zhou Zhimin started looking for so-called “authoritative” experts. In fact, there is no authority without authority. Not important, what matters is.
"We need someone with a soft spot!"
On the way to the casino, Zhou Zhimin said while looking through the information.
“Weakness?”
Cheng Botao, who was driving the car, asked doubtfully.
“What kind of weakness?”
"Greedy, lustful, and the like, only by grasping these weaknesses can we keep him at our disposal. You know, this nutrition society is very important to the company. After all, we can still use it in the future. He came to advertise our other products. "Soon, they arrived at the casino in Chinatown. As soon as they entered the casino, people who had been waiting for a long time led them into the casino. It didn't take much effort. See the target of this trip in front of the gambling table.
"Mr. Zhou, he is the customer you are looking for."
Mike Smith, his name is a bad one, but he is indeed a celebrity - —Professor at Columbia University. During the war, he worked for the Pentagon and researched nutritional formulas for military meals.
But his only problem is that he loves gambling!
This is his weakness.
Soon, just like every day, Mike lost all his last dollar. When he stood up with a despairing face and was about to leave, a man walked over and said.
"Professor, maybe you can continue playing for a while."
While speaking, he had already taken out 2,000 US dollars with a smile on his face.
“Maybe in the next round, your luck will come!”
Anyone who has ever been to a casino knows what this kind of person is—a loan shark. Although reason tells him that he should choose to refuse, for gamblers, there are some things that you can never refuse.
Although he knew that loan sharking was very risky, at this time, there was only one thought left in his mind - luck would come soon.
It seemed that luck really came, and soon he won five or six hundred dollars.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on it.
That night, Michael had a lot of fun, but his luck always comes to an end. When dawn came, Mike not only lost all the money he won, but even owed a loan shark of US$20,000. .
It wasn't until this moment that he knew he was finished!
20,000 US dollars can be repaid in a lifetime!
Just when Mike realized what he had done, Zhou Zhimin had already walked towards him and said with a smile.
"Professor, maybe we should talk together!"
Okay, here comes the debtor.
...
A few days later, on the eve of Christmas, as usual, Professor Alex came to the office early. Although he was a professor at Harvard Medical School, he stayed in the office most of the time. In school, after all, he was engaged in endocrinology research and rarely went to the hospital for consultation.
As soon as he entered the office, the assistant quickly took out a stack of letters and said.
"Professor, this is your letter."
In addition to some letters sent by friends or students, Alex, who was looking through the letters in the office, unexpectedly saw A letter.
"American Nutrition Society?"
Looking at the sender's information on the envelope, Alex's eyes were full of doubts.
“When was this organization established?”
Full of confusion, he tore open the letter and looked at the contents. The letter first introduced the purpose and purpose of the establishment of the "American Academy of Nutrition". The purpose is for the health of the entire United States and the future of Americans.
After talking about all this, they finally told their purpose. Alex couldn't help but be stunned when he read the content of the letter.
"Invite me to participate in a seminar?"
The letter also contains an invitation letter, inviting him to attend a seminar in Florida after Christmas. Not only will he be reimbursed for all his personal expenses, but he will also be allowed to bring his family along. Go and even provide free food and accommodation.
Faced with such an invitation, who can refuse?
Florida, there is sunshine and beaches there!
Of course, the most important thing is...it's all free!
