American Fortune Life
Chapter 482: Forming a Private Armed Force
Liberty City Investment Co., like a battlefield, everyone has loose ties, white shirt sleeves curled, walking all the way trotting, with an excited look on each face.
Right in front of the office lobby, a group of people are setting up a large screen with LED splicing. Now the big bosses have become big locals, and the natural working environment needs to be fully upgraded. Restore the stock trading floor directly in the company.
After all, the money-making transactions made by each company group will now be rewarded. This is a real feast for them. A lot of dollar bills of luxury cars and luxury homes will be realized in this feast. What is the chance? The most important thing is that almost everyone has a greedy green light in their eyes. This is the normal state of Wall Street.
For Andy, Wall Street without supervision is better than paying taxes to those who can bring wealth to them. After all, they are the guns in their own hands.
"Boss, since this morning, there have been constant phone calls to inquire whether our company has a fund project. Many people want to give us money, you see ..."
Andy propped his hands up against the floor-to-ceiling window in a cheerful mood, a little frivolous face stuck to the glass, watching the paparazzi around downstairs, hearing Bardstone's words, smiling and turning back, "Do you think?"
"I think it can become a private equity fund. It is impossible to normalize the operation with your personal funds. After using this effect and the next feast, our city of freedom will become the most popular investment company on Wall Street. Whether it's the company's profitability or your influence and connections to the boss.
"Why don't you do it for good? First, get two 1 billion US dollars funds, one with a minimum threshold of 1 million, the other with a threshold of 10 million, and the type of risk. You are experts."
"Oh, good boss, with your current wealth influence, I think once the news of the establishment of these two funds is released, it will soon be sold out."
Andy shook his head with a smile, walked to the sofa, and said lightly, "I wish it!"
The capital market is a money game. The more funds you have, the greater the market power. Of course, there is no way to compare the investment banks with tens of billions. But the advantage of fund projects set up by Andy is operation. Flexible, low cost to open positions, and then absolute returns and incentives.
The private equity fund is called the game of the rich, which makes sense. After all, even in the rabbit country, the threshold for subscription of each private equity is 1 million.
Andy thinks that the current stock market situation is still the trend of not rising. Since the government is advocating a "bull market", Andy will naturally not go against the trend. Andy has memories of the US stock market crash. U.S. stocks before October have been rising all the way, so naturally we must make good use of it to make a wave of money.
When the node arrives in October, it's time to short those selected US stocks.
I believe that many people don't understand very much about shorting stocks. In fact, it is easy to understand: assuming that a stock price is 100 yuan, you think the stock price is too high, then you will sell this stock. But you do n’t have this stock in your hands, what should I do? borrow. Ask the broker to borrow shares to sell. But the loan is to be repaid. If this stock does fall to 80 yuan as you wish after a few days, then when you reach the price of 80 yuan, you buy the stock and return it to the brokerage. In this way, you earn 20 yuan per share, and you do n’t remember Fee.
Of course, not everyone can borrow stocks from brokerage firms. There are thresholds for individuals to go long and short, so don't worry about them ...
"Hehe, the current U.S. stock market is like bath water in a bathtub. The plug has been unplugged. The bath water is constantly flowing but appears to be calm on the surface, but the dark tide is actually surging. But when people see the whirlpool, Know the water is about to run out. "
"This is determined by people's profitability. After everyone tastes the delicious money, they will become arrogant and feel that they will not become the most unlucky one. One day the stock market exists, this kind of thing will always be Existence, the lessons of failure are always for others, newcomers will not
care. "
As a senior professional, Bardstone naturally understands more clearly. They are eating this meal. As long as people have a desire for money, they will never be short of speculators who enter the capital market.
As Bardstone left the office, Andy sat at his desk, looking at a sheet of a4 paper in his hand, the first generation of armor he appeared in Iron Man 1 with a pencil, which was Tony Starr. The pile of iron golems made in the cave.
To persuade the old stubborn Stan Lee, what could be more convincing than the sketches of the iron suits in several Iron Man movies. Well, for the exploded view of Mark's armor, Andy needs to enter a super-god state, a little Draw a scoop on the gourd, after all, Andy doesn't know about machinery or anything.
Putting the first sketch in a file bag, Andy remembered the security upgrade that Joseph had mentioned to himself before, got up from his seat, walked to the door to open the door, and beckoned Joseph and Kenny.
The two walked in quickly, and Andy gestured with a smile. "Sit, let's talk."
"It's really fast. It's been a year since the moment passed. In this year, I am very satisfied with the work of both of you ..."
Joseph and Kenny glanced at each other. Listening to the boss, how did they feel like they were going to be fired. Although the expressions on their faces did not change much, one heart sank.
After all, I want to be a bodyguard for Andy. The salary is high, the treatment is good, and the job is not very dangerous, but it is difficult to find. Just when the two listened to Andy's words, the expressions on their faces became more unnatural, and they suddenly heard it.
"That's it ... keke, although it's a bit unethical, but I still hope that the two can come and help me, I want to set up a security company, and the two join the company as partners, I don't know what they think ? "
Both Joseph and Kenny's eyes widened, and the heart still sinking just now became bright. This is the young boss who wants to carry them. The bodyguards and the partners of the security company are very different, especially the ones in front of them. How capable and background this young miraculous boss is, it's clear that they are Andy's bodyguards.
"Thank you, boss, for giving me and Kenny this opportunity ..." Joseph didn't hesitate at all. To tell the truth, this is the biggest encounter in his life. The change is in front of him. As for the problems of the original company, get them off the battlefield. As far as the mercenaries are concerned, Blackwater, huh, huh, is really just a hiring platform. It doesn't need loyalty. It only needs a killing machine that can complete battlefield tasks.
Kenny nodded his head with joy, expressing unanimous agreement with Joseph's words.
"Oh, that's good. I was worried that the two would not agree, and it would become embarrassing to get along. In this case, I am assured. I will recruit an EO and administrative staff to set up the company's framework. As a shareholder, 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 tell the truth, and really worried about the two Would hesitate.
"Boss, no problem. Kenny and I both had our own combat squad. It only took one call to recruit them. But, boss, our company's business ..."
Andy looked at Joseph with a hint of invisibility on his face, and couldn't help wondering: "Company business? Is there anything wrong with it?"
"That ’s it. If our company is just a security consulting company, we need to recruit people for training. My team and Kenny's team need to screen personnel. After all, some of them have war syndrome and it is difficult to adapt to normal. In the life of society, many people are unable to adapt to normal life after retiring. They can only hold up their guns and become mercenaries until they die on the battlefield ... "
Having said that, Joseph and Kenny's original mood was a bit low, and the war of six years has deflected the fate of too many soldiers.
"Do 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 can't be switched at will.
Andy knows that the war dividend is a piece of fat, and he also knows the turbulence of the international situation in the future world. To be honest, he doesn't care about military contracting business. There are many ways to make money. , But who cares, the main thing is to want to lawfully control an armed force in his hand, a fast-responding armed force that can protect itself and its assets. After all, the major financial groups in the United States have their own armed forces. Even the bodyguard of Li Shoufu, hk, is a mercenary he raised. Only his own people or his subordinates can ensure loyalty to the greatest extent possible. Of course, talking about loyalty with foreigners is nonsense, but the spirit of the contract and the end Rice bowls can still let foreigners die for themselves.
