American Fortune Life

Liberty City Investment Company seemed to have turned into a battlefield. Everyone wore loose ties, curled sleeves of white shirts, walked at a trot, and all of them had excited expressions on their faces.

In front of the office hall, a group of people are setting up a large LED splicing screen. Now that the big boss has become a big local tyrant, the natural working environment needs to be fully upgraded. Directly restore the stock trading hall in the company.

After all, there will be rewards for the profitable transactions made by every company group. This is the real feast for them. A lot of dollar bills from luxury cars and mansions will be realized in this feast. The most important thing is that almost everyone has a greedy green light in their eyes, which is the norm on Wall Street.

For Andy, instead of paying taxes on Wall Street without supervision, it is better to pay taxes to his subordinates who can bring him wealth. After all, they are the guns in his hands.

"Boss, since this morning, there have been constant calls asking if our company has a fund project. Many people want to hand over the money to us. Look..."

Andy put his hands on the floor-to-ceiling windows in a happy mood, and pressed his frivolous face against the glass. He looked at the paparazzi downstairs, and when he heard Bardstone's words, he turned back with a smile and said, "What do you think?"

"I think it can become a private equity fund. After all, it is impossible to normalize the operation with your boss's personal funds. Using this effect and the next feast, our Liberty City will become the hottest investment company on Wall Street. Whether it’s the company’s profitability, or the boss’s influence and connections, there are huge benefits.”

"Since it is beneficial, why not do it, let's start with two 1 billion US dollars funds, one with a minimum threshold of 1 million, and the other with a minimum threshold of 10 million. You are an expert in risk types and so on."

"Hehe, good boss, with your current wealth and influence, I think once the news of the establishment of these two funds is released, they will be sold out soon."

Andy shook his head with a smile, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said lightly: "I hope!"

The capital market is a money game. The more funds in hand, the greater the market power. Of course, there is no way to compare with the big investment banks with tens of billions of dollars, but the advantage of the fund project established by Andy Company is the operation Flexible, low cost of opening positions, and then there are absolute returns and incentive mechanisms.

Private equity funds are called a rich man's game, which makes sense. After all, even in the rabbit country, the subscription threshold for each private equity fund is 1 million.

Andy thinks that the current stock market is still in an upward trend. Since the government is advocating a "bull market", Andy and the others will naturally not go against the trend. Andy still has memories of the sharp drop in the US stock market.

The U.S. stock market was rising all the way before October, so naturally we have to make good use of it to make a wave of money.

When the node in October arrives, it's time to short those selected US stocks.

I believe that many people don't know much about shorting stocks. In fact, it is easy to understand in layman's terms: Suppose a certain stock price is 100 yuan, and you think the stock price is too high, then you will sell this stock. But you don't have this stock in your hand, what should you do? borrow. Ask the brokerage to borrow the stock to sell. But if you borrow it, you have to pay it back. If the stock does fall to 80 yuan as you wish a few days later, then when you reach the price of 80 yuan, buy the stock and return it to the brokerage. In this way, you will earn 20 yuan per share, and you will not remember fee.

Of course, not everyone can borrow stocks from brokerages. There are thresholds for individuals to go long and short, so don't think about it for small investors. . .

"Hehe, the current U.S. stock market is like bath water in a bathtub. The plug has been unplugged, and the bath water is constantly flowing out, but it looks calm on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is surging. But when people see the whirlpool, they will I know the water is running out."

"This is determined by people's profit-seeking nature. After everyone has tasted the delicious taste of making money, they will become blindly arrogant and feel that they will not be the most unlucky one. As long as the stock market exists, this kind of thing will continue. As long as it exists, the lessons of failure have always belonged to others, and newcomers will not

care. "

As a senior professional, Bardstone naturally understands more clearly that this is what they eat. As long as people have a desire for money, there will never be a shortage of speculators entering the endless cycle of the capital market.

Watching Bardstone leave the office, Andy sat at his desk, looking at a piece of A4 paper in his hand, on which he drew with a pencil the first generation of armor that appeared in "Iron Man 1", which is Tony Star The pile of iron bumps that Ke made in the cave.

To convince old diehard Stan Lee, what could be more convincing than a few Iron Man sketches of the Iron Suit in the movie, well, for the exploded view of Mark's armor, Andy needs to enter the super god state, a little bit Follow the gourd, after all, Andy doesn't know anything about machinery.

Putting the first sketch into the file bag, Andy remembered the security upgrade that Joseph had mentioned to him before, stood up from his seat, walked to the door, opened the door, and waved to Joseph and Kenny.

The two walked in quickly, and Andy smiled and stretched out his hand to signal. "Sit down, let's talk."

"Time really flies, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye. In the past year, I am very satisfied with the work of the two of you..."

Joseph and Kenny glanced at each other. Hearing what the boss said, they felt like they were going to be fired. Although the expressions on their faces didn't change much, their hearts sank.

After all, if you want to be a bodyguard for Andy, it's hard to find a job with a high salary, good treatment, and no great danger. Just as the two listened to Andy's words, the expressions on their faces became more unnatural, when they heard it suddenly.

"That's it... Cough cough, although it's a bit immoral, I still hope that the two of you can come and help me. I want to set up a security company. The two of you will join the company as partners of the company. I don't know what you think Sample?"

Both Joseph and Kenny's eyes widened, and their hearts that had been sinking just now suddenly became brighter. This is because the young boss wants to support them. The difference between a bodyguard and a partner of a security company is worlds apart, especially the one in front of him. How capable and background this miraculous young boss is, as Andy's personal bodyguards, they can't be more clear.

"Thank you, boss, for giving Kenny and me this opportunity..." Joseph didn't hesitate at all. To be honest, this was the biggest encounter in his life. Change is just around the corner. For the mercenaries who came down, Heishui, hehe, is really just a mercenary platform. It doesn't need loyalty, all it needs is a killing machine that can complete battlefield tasks.

Kenny also nodded with joy, expressing great agreement with Joseph's words.

"Hehe, that's good. Before, I was worried that the two of you would not agree, and getting along with each other would become awkward in the future. In this case, I am relieved. I will recruit a CEO and administrative staff to build the framework of the company. , as shareholders, you are responsible for the recruitment and training of security personnel, I think this should be very simple for you.” Andy breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he really didn’t lie, and he was really worried about the two would hesitate.

"Boss, no problem. Kenny and I both had our own combat teams before, and it only takes one phone call to recruit them. However, boss, our company's business..."

Andy looked at the unspeakable concealment on Joseph's face, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Company business? Is there any problem here?"

"That's right. If our company is just a pure security consulting company, we need to recruit personnel for training. Kenny and I's team needs to conduct personnel screening. After all, some of them have war syndrome, and it is difficult to adapt to normal conditions. In social life, many people are unable to adapt to normal life after retiring, so they can only pick up guns and become mercenaries, until they die on the battlefield at some point..."

As they said that, Joseph and Kenny's originally high mood was a bit depressed. The six-year war had deflected the fate of too many soldiers.

"You want to ask whether the company's business includes military contracting?" Andy quickly understood what they meant. After all, killing machines and bodyguards are two different things, and they cannot be switched at will.

Andy knows that war dividends are a piece of fat, and he also knows that the international situation in the future world will be turbulent. To be honest, he doesn't care about military contracting business. There are many ways to make money. He doesn't reject war money, but the reputation is bad. , but who cares, the most important thing is to legally have an armed force in your hands, a quick-response armed force that can protect yourself and your assets. After all, the major financial groups in the United States maintain their own armed forces. Even the bodyguard of Lee's richest man in HK is a mercenary he raised. Only his own people or his own subordinates can guarantee loyalty to the greatest extent possible. Of course, talking about loyalty with foreigners is nonsense, but the spirit of contract and who cares The rice bowl can still make foreigners work hard for themselves.
