Blackstone Code

Frank is a very ordinary worker, dual-career, his children are brought up by the mother who lives next door to him, and he and his wife each have a job.

When two people are working, it is natural that one person's salary will be more than one person's salary, and it is not a lot.

If this situation continues for several years, it will be a considerable sum.

Frank's industry sometimes deals with those high-flyers in Bupain, and he knows better than others that it is not a fairy tale to get rich overnight in Bupain. After discussing with his wife, he found a financial and economics company Company, opened an account.

I have to explain here that even if ordinary people want to operate stocks and securities, it is very difficult. The manual matching process can make anyone perfectly miss the most suitable trading opportunities. If you want to match more quickly and stably, you must There is a private trading desk.

The price of a trading seat is almost one million. Ordinary people don't have the financial resources to buy it. They can only entrust a financial brokerage company to operate their account, and they are charged various handling fees many times.

After a period of operation, they made a lot of money.

Even the dirtiest stocks can do wonders when the general financial trends are positive, let alone the picks and picks of the financial brokerage firms.

Soon the funds in their accounts changed from a few thousand yuan to almost one hundred thousand yuan, which is definitely a huge sum of money for ordinary families.

However, the market has become more and more difficult recently. Except for a few heavyweight stocks that are still rising strongly, the upward momentum of other stocks has gradually slowed down.

The brokers said that this is a temporary adjustment, and after the adjustment is completed, those stocks will go up as before.

Many people believed what the stockbrokers said, because on the street of Bu Pain, 95% of the people knew little or nothing about stocks, and only 5% were real financial practitioners .

A large number of laymen have contributed to the prosperity of this industry, and these people have also received a lot of dividends.

Recently, brokers have been recommending Frank to buy some bonds. In the words of brokers, now is the best opportunity to make a move. You can earn more than 10% if you get it. There is no more profitable business than this .

And there is no need to worry about the fluctuation of the transaction price, because the ceiling price of the bond is its face value, unless the issuing country has some incentive clauses, at that time, the incentive clause will only make the bond ceiling higher, not lower.

In other words, this is a sure-fire deal, and if no one else takes over in the future, they can cash in the bonds and cash directly.

Frank and his wife found out that this is indeed the case after a little tutoring about bonds. At least from the books they consulted, they did not find that bonds would depreciate. If they had consulted more professional books at the time, they might not have thought so.

But if they really know how to look up professional books, they may not consider these options.

In the end, they decided to put all their savings, plus the credit loans they got from the bank, into the first batch of war bonds issued by foreign countries, because investing in bonds would not lose money, so they did it boldly.

"About 12 percent, more than 20,000 yuan!"

This is what Frank said in front of his family and friends at that time. For this reason, he opened a bottle of 8.99 cents wine to celebrate. On Yunduo, he felt that he was lucky and his vision was very accurate. He could consider becoming a full-time financial investor in the future. He even made a list of study plans for himself that was actually too late.

All this yearning for a better future finally stopped on Friday night in the last week of last month.

The last monthly issue of "Trading News" used about a quarter of the board to remind all investors again of the huge risk of bond exchange. This time they did not hide this statement in some more appalling content, but Put out the red fruit.

And all of this was caused by the overall failure of the Federation's foreign policy in the international community.

The president's cabinet fancied diplomatic stances to resolve these and other troubles in August and September, but they clearly failed.

Regardless of whether it is the victorious country or the defeated country in this world war, they don't have any good feelings for the Baylor Federation, and they can take it for granted.

The failure of diplomacy immediately made things start to get out of control, because the redemption period of the first batch of war bonds is coming, and the major banks have actually cleared all the bonds that can be cleared before then, and they also refused Direct redemption of these bonds and agency redemption business.

Because they know that these bonds are almost waste paper, they can't bring any value, but will make themselves deeply involved.

Therefore, this time, "Trading News" made some issues clear without concealment, and it was said that it was a fruit, which once again proved to people that "Trading News" is a newspaper that dares to tell the truth, dares to tell the truth, has a bottom line and a conscience !

Its position and attitude are like the federation at this time, absolutely neutral, not biased towards anyone!

After reading the report, Frank broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately asked his broker about cashing out the bonds, and then went to the bank.

The bank directly rejected his request and told him that he could go directly to the bank of the bond-issuing country by boat to request cashing, but it is not an easy task to cash it in his country, no, it is impossible at all.

Frank, who was unwilling to give up, had a more active mind than others. He called the issuing bank of the bond issuing country. At first, the other party said that they could provide exchange business at any time, and Frank was relieved.

But when he reported his bond code, the other party directly told him that this batch of bonds involved some risks, and the cashing was temporarily stopped. This moment would kill Frank, and he was desperate.

A total of more than 100,000 yuan, ten years of hard work, all turned into waste paper, this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that he still has to pay various necessary expenses for life every month, as well as personal credit The interest on the loan, otherwise the bank will take away his and his parents' house, his car, and he will have to move to a worse neighborhood, and even live on the streets with his family!

In desperation, he called his agent.

"You already knew, didn't you!" Frank's voice on the phone was low and full of anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

The manager on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before he said bluntly, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"

In fact, from the few seconds when the agent was silent, Frank knew that the agent knew some inside information, which made him even angrier, "We have known each other for so many years, and we have always cooperated happily. Why would you I did it, I thought we were friends."

The manager chuckled a few times, "Frank, a friend like you has as many address books in my pocket."

"In the past few years, you have made a lot of money by relying on me. This time it was just an accident. You have to understand that I am also innocent."

"The people above asked us to recommend these bonds. All we can do is call you and tell you its benefits and risks. The final decision is in your hands, not mine."

Brokers have a very standard process for telephone communication. They will not hide anything related to risk, but they will use some clever words to make people misunderstand the risk.

When the broker recommended these bonds to Frank, he also reminded Frank that these bonds are risky, but he also succeeded in making Frank think that the risk mentioned by the broker may be that no one will become his next home and take over. these bonds.

However, when the agent told him that he could cash out the money directly according to the face value, these risks in his opinion were no longer risks.

Frank's voice became more irritable, "You lied to me, you can't change this fact, you lied to me, you have to give me back my money!"

The manager's voice also became a little impatient, "First of all, I didn't lie to you, I told you, it's your own decision."

"Secondly, in the entrustment agreement we signed, it is stated that the risk is borne by oneself. When you have a loss now, you want me to compensate you. Then when you have earned tens of thousands of yuan in the past few years, why didn't you give it to me?" You want to split up with me on the phone?"

"Wake up, you are not a child anymore, you will cry when there is no sugar, if there is nothing else, I will hang up, I have no time to waste time with you here!"

"With all these skills, you might as well think about the rest of your life!"

The phone was dropped on the base with a snap, and at the same time a busy tone came from the phone, Frank was furious, he had been forced to the edge of the cliff.

If they just lost their savings, that's fine, but that's also the line of credit they got from the bank, and a portion of their Falkland parents' savings and their line of credit.

As soon as the line of credit came out, almost most of the selected people applied for the loan. There is nothing more reassuring than having a sum of money in your hand during this difficult time.

But this also made some problems that did not exist before become scary.

The whole family may go homeless!

After shutting himself in the room for two days, Falkland finally decided to make things bigger. This was not an impulsive decision, but a deliberate decision.

As the first person to make a fuss, if the federal government can help them solve these problems, then he, an iconic figure who represents the cause of this incident, will naturally be the first to solve his problems.

As for whether he will be imprisoned because of this, he is not too concerned. He is very clear that ten years of hard work will not get back the lost money, but if ten years of imprisonment can recover the loss, he feels that at least he is not at a loss!

So on Sunday night, armed with a dagger and some rope, he called on his agent.

This is also the reason why this broker appeared on the exchange with an ugly face today.
