Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 26 Finding a Securities Dealer

The New York Stock Exchange, the full name of the New York Stock Exchange, is located at 80 Broadway, south of the corner of Wall Street.

Early the next morning, after having a hasty breakfast at the hotel, Carter came here alone. Out of respect for "Gotham", Carter had a pistol on his waist. Although it was covered by the hem, it couldn't be covered by a single summer shirt.

Such a bulging thing.

As a result, while walking on Wall Street, Carter not only attracted the attention of shopping mall elites wearing suits and ties on a hot day, but the NYPDs on the street also quickly focused on such a potential "dangerous element."

As a thorn in the side of the National Rifle Association, New York ranks among the top three states least friendly to gun owners. Even though the police had verified Carter's concealed carry permit and confirmed that the man had no bad intentions, they still sent a team of police officers.

The officer was hanging behind Carter not far away, monitoring him at all times.

Carter ignored the two policemen behind him. In other words, even if he went out with a gun, he could still enjoy free protection from the police. He insisted on this deal, and he became a lot more stubborn as he walked towards the New York Stock Exchange...

Compared with Nasdaq, which was founded in 1971, the New York Stock Exchange is the real big brother of securities these days. Before entering the exchange hall, Carter heard the bustling noise inside. And now he has just arrived.

It's 9 a.m. Eastern Time, and there's still half an hour until the market opens at 9:30!

Mixed in the crowds of securities brokers, Carter watched for a while the closing prices of major companies yesterday shown on the market, then turned and left. There are three stock trading floors and one bond trading floor on the New York Stock Exchange. He wanted to remember them all.

Impossible. Besides, there is no need to remember this thing. Securities companies on Wall Street will follow up in real time. If you want to invest in stocks, securities companies are a hurdle that you cannot get around.

Then Carter wandered to the Nasdaq exchange. Founded in 1971, Nasdaq, in addition to having the title of the first electronic securities trading institution, is now a younger brother compared to the New York Stock Exchange.

There are not many companies listed on Nasdaq, but their current business focus is more on the over-the-counter stock trading of unlisted companies.

Looking at the shabby Nasdaq in front of him, Carter found it hard to imagine that this thing would become the second largest securities trading market in the world in the future. In addition to the low value of stocks on the overall market and the addition of more electronic trading terminals,

Even apart from computers, the difference between this trading market and the New York Stock Exchange is not very big.

After looking around for a while, Carter lost interest in the tour. The next task was to find a reliable securities company, find a securities broker that suits him, or a responsible securities broker to open an account, and then research

Handicap, ready to work.

But after looking for three or four securities companies along the way, Carter was a little disappointed. His experience in these securities companies was almost exactly the same: he first walked into the front desk of the securities company and expressed his intention to come, and then faced the front desk because he was too old.

Xiao Er was suspicious. After taking out the certificate of deposit issued by the Federal Savings Bank of Atlanta, he immediately turned into a flattering smile, invited himself into the VIP room, and poured coffee...

After being harassed by the beautiful and sexy front desk lady, and giving some hints intentionally or unintentionally, a "rebellious" man in a suit with a shiny back hair came in. When he raised his nose, he blew, why did he invest money?

Give it to us, buy whatever you want, and you will definitely make a lot of money. Dute Niang's words have almost become a template for conversational skills.

It is very similar to the situation when Carter wanted to buy a second-hand car in the future to boost the company's reputation. No matter how bad the condition of the car was, no matter which car dealership he went to. The sales team was all the same "little sister first hand, car in excellent condition, air conditioner frozen"

Head, give fuel and fly”...

Facing such a group of guys who really deceived him like a child, Carter felt helpless. At first he said goodbye politely, but then he simply turned around and left. Even so, the entire morning was wasted.

I went back to the hotel where I was staying at noon, picked up Melis and went out to have some fun and have lunch. I promised a dress again, in exchange for Melis agreeing to wait for Carter for three days, and then go shopping with her after she was done.

Buy clothes.

In the afternoon, Carter returned to Wall Street. This time, the two policemen who had been following him disappeared. I don’t know if they left after responding to the police, or because they felt that he was a "good citizen" and no longer wanted to pay attention to him. Without the two tails, Carter

It wasn't a big deal, because he found that the security of New York in these days was not as bad as he thought. And he also had a gun on him, so he thought there would be no problem with his safety.

The road to find a securities company is still long. As of three o'clock in the afternoon, the New York Stock Exchange has closed, and most of the securities companies are still the same. Everyone treats Carter as a white and tender one waiting to be slaughtered.

Fat sheep, they didn't even want to do any cover-up about this fat sheep, thinking that they could deceive Carter's investment by making a lot of money with just a few empty words.

Naturally, both parties returned disappointed. Carter, who had visited more than a dozen securities companies in a row, sat on a bench by the roadside, sighed sadly, and then lit a cigarette. He was exhausted both mentally and physically.

Carter had to choose to take a break.

I hope there will be a good result after this cigarette!

Two minutes later, Carter threw away the burnt cigarette butt, and stood up again and walked to the next securities company: Kidder Peabody Company. The reputation of this securities company in the future is not good, no, it should be said that it is not bad,

But notorious.

In the future, there will be a best-selling book called "Den of Thieves" in the United States, which tells the story of financial crimes committed through insider trading and other means in the financial market in the 1980s. In this story, "Den of Thieves" is about Kidder Pi.

Bodie Company.

Carter didn't read this novel in depth in his previous life, but he was roughly aware of such a thing, so he always deliberately avoided its existence when looking for a broker. But now, the brokers on Wall Street have almost gone all over the place.

Carter, who didn't find the broker he wanted, had to bite the bullet and walked into Kidder Company.

Compared with other splendidly decorated securities companies, Kidder Company seemed a bit simple. Of course, Carter later learned that their headquarters was actually in Manhattan. There was only one office on Wall Street, so naturally he didn't spend more time there.

furnish.

"Hello, I'm looking for a reliable securities broker, dealing in stocks and funds. This is my asset certificate. Could you please see if there is a suitable broker to introduce to me?"

Walking into Kidder Company, Carter took out his asset certificate in a familiar manner. Without waiting for the lady at the front desk to say hello, he explained his requirements like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and then looked at the other party quietly.

"Ah? Okay...Okay, please come with me. I'll call my agent to come see you right away. That...sir, what is your name?"

"Carter, Carter Black."

The young lady at the front desk was a little confused by Carter's indifference and curtness. After pouring coffee in a hurry, she hurried out. After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with a Mediterranean look on his head pushed away.

The door to the VIP room.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Carter. I'm Julian Robertson..."

ps: I haven’t had time to read Julian Robertson’s autobiography, so I’m not sure if he is still working at Kidder at this point in time. Baidu only says that he worked in this company for more than 20 years before he
