Chapter 2722 2724 [When in town, do as the Romans do]

After the Jin family settled in Stockholm, everyone didn't go out much at first.

After all, I was unfamiliar with the place and didn't even understand the language.

The official language of Sweden is Swedish. Finnish, Norwegian, English, French, German, Russian, etc. are also spoken by some people, but they are not popular.

As for Swedish, even Xiang Nan only understands it a little bit, and is not at the level of proficient conversation. These are just a few words he learned in Sweden when he was traveling around the world in "Little Shede".

As for Jin Quan, Mrs. Jin, Jin Fengju, Bai Xiuzhu, Leng Qingqiu and others, they don't understand even more, so they also need to learn.

For this reason, the Jin family specially hired tutors to teach everyone in the Jin family to learn Swedish together so that they can better integrate into Swedish society.

Learning a foreign language is definitely a difficult challenge for others.

Because people like Jin Fengju, Wang Yufen, Bai Xiuzhu, etc. usually don't like to study very much, it's okay to let them play mahjong, listen to a little song, or watch a movie.

When it comes to studying, it really kills them.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to learn. It takes a long time to memorize a few words.

In comparison, Xiang Nan learned Swedish much faster.

First of all, he has a photographic memory, so memorizing vocabulary is really easy for him. In less than a week, he has memorized a huge Swedish dictionary by heart;

Secondly, Xiang Nan's learning talent is already high. In addition to his superior IQ, he also inherited Cheng Jianjun's learning talent. He has mastered such a difficult imitation porcelain craft in less than half a year. The porcelain he creates is so lifelike that even

Han Chunming almost got a slap in the face. This talent is really quite remarkable.

Therefore, Xiang Nan became proficient in Swedish in less than half a month.

But he didn't show it obviously. After all, everyone hadn't started yet, and he didn't want to be too conspicuous.

…

After learning Swedish, Xiang Nan read books and newspapers every day, especially paying attention to the Swedish stock market.

The Stockholm Stock Exchange was established in 1863 and is the largest stock exchange in Northern Europe. Its daily trading volume exceeds five million Swedish kronor, equivalent to approximately one million U.S. dollars.

Xiang Nan knows that a big man cannot be without power for a day, and a young husband cannot be without money for a day.

The Jin family is basically unemployed now, and all the family property combined is only about one million dollars. This money may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not enough.

After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

The Jin family now has more than 40 people, and they can barely afford a hundred thousand yuan a year to survive. If they don't make money, such a big family may not be able to survive for three to five years, and it will be forced to fall apart.

.

As for the three brothers Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen, it's not that Xiang Nan doesn't look down on them, they are not money-making materials.

They don't even have the ability to support themselves. If their family property is exhausted, the three of them may end up begging for food.

Therefore, Xiang Nan must support this family. And to support this family, making money is necessary.

Fortunately, making money is not difficult for him.

…

"Yanxi, you still read Swedish newspapers, can you really understand them?" Bai Xiuzhu asked with a smile.

"Read it only if you don't understand it. Didn't you hear what the teacher said? Reading local newspapers is one of the fastest ways to learn the local language." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "After I can read newspapers proficiently, my Swedish will also improve." You can practice it.”

"Oh, if I had known that Swedish was so difficult to learn, we might as well have gone to the United States." Bai Xiuzhu curled her lips and said. She still has a certain foundation in English and can speak Japanese very well.

She really knew nothing about Swedish, and it was really difficult to learn it.

"The United States today is not as good as Sweden." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.

The United States is currently in a period of prohibition. Because prohibition has led to rampant bootlegging, rampant gangs, police corruption, and serious deterioration of social security.

If the Jin family goes to the United States, they will definitely be targeted by local gangs. Even with the protection of Xiang Nan, everyone's safety cannot be guaranteed. By then, there will inevitably be deaths and injuries.

In addition, during World War II, although the United States did not suffer the scourge of war, it also encountered shortages of material supplies.

Sugar, coffee, fuel, cheese, nylon, butter, milk, lard, etc. were all supplied by ticket. This was implemented from 1941 and lasted until 1946.

The Jin family likes to enjoy themselves, and the limited supply for five years can literally kill them.

What's more, after the end of World War II, the McCarthy Movement was launched in the United States, in which tens of thousands of Chinese Americans were monitored, interrogated, deported and even assassinated, which lasted for nearly five years.

People like Jin Runzhi, Leng Qingqiu and others who have more advanced ideas are likely to get into trouble. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is to learn Swedish, it is better than going to the United States and suffering.

This is also the reason why Xiang Nan insisted on coming to Sweden. After all, this was one of the few countries that did not suffer war during World War II.

"Anyway, Xiuzhu, time will prove everything. Sooner or later you will know that I made the right choice in Sweden." Xiang Nan smiled at Bai Xiuzhu.

…

In October 2007, Xiang Nan officially started investing in the Swedish stock market.

He had almost figured out the bottom of the Swedish stock market through reading newspapers and visiting on-site.

At this time, the Stockholm Stock Exchange, although it was the largest stock exchange in Northern Europe, actually only had more than 80 stocks listed for trading.

At present, the trend of securities index is quite good. From the beginning of the year to now, the stock market index has risen by about 20%, which has also attracted many newbies to enter the stock market.

However, Xiang Nan knew that in two years' time, there would be the infamous stock market crash of the century. Even small border countries like Sweden would be greatly affected.

So Xiang Nan thought about accumulating wealth quickly now. After the stock market crash, small and medium-sized enterprises everywhere closed down due to the economic crisis, and this was the best time for him to make a fortune.

At that time, he can acquire those high-quality assets at the lowest price and become one of the richest people in Sweden in one fell swoop.

After the end of World War II, he could use his huge capital to enter Germany, France, Italy and other countries and become a powerful capitalist in Europe.

Of course, that's all for later.

So far, the funds Xiang Nan has been able to mobilize are only 100,000 oceans, which is equivalent to about 40,000 US dollars. I am afraid that he is still several orders of magnitude away from becoming the richest man in Sweden.

Therefore, Xiang Nan could only start step by step. Fortunately, he still had time.

…

While Xiang Nan was making money in the stock market, Leng Qingqiu also learned basic Swedish, and then entered the preparatory class at Stockholm University to prepare for a master's degree in literature.

Many members of Jin's family objected to this. They believed that since she was married, she should not appear in public.

However, Xiang Nan, Jin Daozhi, and Jin Runzhi all supported her and believed that since she arrived in Europe, she should no longer be stuck in the old rules. Women should learn more and make progress, and should not always be trapped in the boudoir.

With the support of the three of them, the others had no choice but to give up.
