Chapter Ninety-Four: The Bronze Bull of Wall Street
$1,857 million.
Chris Walker hated himself for being so good at math that he was so frightened by the number that he even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Wall Street is the world's largest financial center, but even here, there are very few companies with more than $1.8 billion in capital under management.
Grunt!
Chris Walker's throat continued to squirm uncontrollably, and the steady stream of saliva made him feel like he was about to choke.
Yulia Sidorov looked at Chris Walker with a smile, but her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance at Shen Jiannan.
How's my dear?
Shen Jiannan gave a look of approval and gave a thumbs up quietly.
Just now, the reason why Chris Walker dared to have a little sarcasm in his tone was nothing more than because he was a yellow race, he was the leader of the group, and his face was Chinese at first glance.
Now it's different.
A billion pounds, in Yulia's mouth, a banker like Chris Walker would only be as religious as a servant to God.
Sure enough, when Chris Walker finally digested the shock in his heart, his straight spine couldn't help but bend, and his chest also contracted, without any hesitation, he lowered the banker's noble head and bowed deeply to Yulia.
Because this is the United States, and as an American, he knows too well what an 1.8 billion dollar business means.
The United States is a capitalist country, and its meaning is capital-oriented, and you can do whatever you want if you have money.
Eighty thousand dollars, one hundred and eighty-five million dollars, represents omnipotence, and it is no exaggeration to say that it represents the power of God, who walks on earth.
You must know that in 1991, the per capita GDP of the United States was only $24,000, and $1.85 billion, 100,000 ordinary families may not be able to earn so much money in a year.
"Honorable and beautiful young lady, I apologize for my rudeness just now!"
Yulia smiled and accepted Chris Walker's apology.
"Now, let's talk about our business!"
The same Kamandi manager immediately took out the materials that had been prepared and handed them to Chris Walker.
Chris Walker took a look, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink together.
£40000000000, £60000000000, Kamandi Investment Management, a total of one billion pounds of British March bonds, and all the registration information of the bonds.
Public bonds, also known as treasury bonds, are creditor's rights and debts formed by the state on the basis of its credit and in accordance with the general principles of bonds to raise funds through the issuance of bonds to the society.
British bonds, that is, government bonds issued by the British government, because the issuer of government bonds is the whole of the United Kingdom, so it has the highest creditworthiness, and is recognized as the safest investment tool in the world, also known as gilts, when redeemed at maturity, the British Treasury will pay interest and principal on time.
Moreover, because it is gilt, the British financial market is the world's largest interest rate market, and government bonds can be sold in the market at any time.
A billion pounds really!
Digesting the shock and excitement of the numbers on the bonds, Chris Walker's posture became more humble.
As a banker, combined with the cooperation that Yulia said, he can imagine that since the other party is taking British government bonds to bank, it may only be one reason.
Borrow money.
And a billion pounds, if borrowed in full....... Then how much commission do you have to get?
Chris Walker brings out the most loyal awe and respect for money in bankers.
"Honorable and beautiful young lady, it is an honor to be at your service. I don't know, what kind of cooperation you need to talk about. ”
"As you guessed, I need to borrow the equivalent of dollars from your bank with these billion pounds of bonds, is there a problem. ”
It's one thing to think.
Knowing the result, it's another thing.
Yulia's affirmation made Chris Walker's face flush all of a sudden, and his heart was pounding uncontrollably.
The equivalent value is $1,857 million. According to the bank's lending rate, the minimum monthly interest rate is also 0.4, a month, that is, more than 7 million US dollars, based on the bank's performance assessment, he can get at least 140,000 US dollars, if it is a few months......
What could be more exciting?
Chris Walker didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was worthy of being the manager of Bank of America, although he was very excited, but he didn't lose any of his qualities, he took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Of course there is no problem. However, according to the bank's regulations, we need to verify the sequence of the bonds. Thank you for your understanding. ”
"No problem. ”
As the largest commercial bank in the United States by assets, Bank of America's professionalism must be top-notch, and in less than ten minutes, Chris Walker knocked on the door when he returned to the reception room after verifying the authenticity of the bonds.
"Honored guest, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”
"Now, can we officially talk about cooperation?"
“.......”
Amount, interest, term of borrowing.
After a brief negotiation, the casual management of Kamandi reached an agreement with the management of Bank of America.
According to the actual value of the public debt, Carmandy borrowed $1.8 billion from the Bank of America, and adopted the method of monthly interest payment and repayment of principal at maturity, with a term of four months and an interest rate of 0.4.
In this regard, both sides have no objections, the bank survives, lending money is the most important means of operation, some people borrow money, there is no risk, naturally they want to lend out, Shen Jiannan and his gang, all the way to the United States, in order not to borrow money, naturally hit it off.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, and the two sides were talking and laughing.
For the banking industry, risk is the foundation of survival, but using British gilts as collateral is basically equivalent to no risk, and such customers can't be found even with lanterns.
After a few thank-you greetings, Chris Walker mentioned the purpose of the loan at the right time, as is customary.
This time, Shen Jiannan spoke.
"We want to buy three-year U.S. Treasury bonds. ”
Ga.......
The eagerness came to an abrupt end.
Buy Treasury bonds!
Kamandi invested in borrowing $1.8 billion, but he actually bought US Treasury bonds.
How ridiculous and ridiculous it is to take British bonds and come to the United States to mortgage dollars, and then buy American Treasury bonds with high interest rates.
The annualized return on the three-year U.S. Treasury bond is only 3 percent, and the monthly interest rate is 0.4 percent, and the annualized interest rate has reached 4.8 percent.
Chris Walker and his team were a little confused, this was a surefire deal.
The more you buy, the more you lose.
After being stunned for a long time, Chris Walker looked at Shen Jiannan like an idiot.
Shen Jiannan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and Chris Walker's eyes seemed to say, this kid won't be an idiot who eats soft rice.
Eating soft rice, with Shen Jiannan's character, he accepted it calmly, but being an idiot was particularly dissatisfied.
"Questions?"
Chris Walker chuckled.
"Oh, I'm sorry, please forgive me for my faux pas. But this ....... It was so unexpected. ”
Although explaining, Chris Walker's gaze shifted to the current speaker Yulia, who didn't give Chris Walker a good look at all and said dissatisfied.
"We want to contribute a little bit to the construction of the United States, have a problem?"
Chris Walker was choked and didn't know what to say, from the bank's point of view, this is simply a blessing from God, taking a loan to buy treasury bonds, the bank can earn more than 7 million interest per month without even a little risk.
I'm afraid there is no easier way to make money in the world, and if you can, it's best to have a bunch of them every day.
Subconsciously glanced at the bottom of Yulia's neck, and four words floated out of Chris Walker's mind.
"No, no problem. ”
Not long after, after getting the treasury bond certificate and all the information, the group walked out of the bank building under the congratulations of Chris Walker.
There were no outsiders around, and Kina Kanovski quipped.
"Yulia. Did you see that guy's eyes just now, do you think he was thinking just now? ”
"Qina. You dare to laugh at me, see how I clean you up. ”
"Haha-"
The two laughed and chased, running in the direction of Broadway.
One is tall, with a waist as thin as willows, and two long legs full of firepower, full of moving temptation, and the other is petite, but convex and concave, a special temptation that makes people want to care for and destroy.
Different styles of hairstyles are scattered, and the same delicate but completely different faces attract the attention of passers-by.
The return rate is almost 100%!
However, there are no blind people to make trouble, and under the rapid follow-up of several fellow bodyguards, no matter how beautiful it is, it can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
Of course, Shen Jiannan is an exception.
It didn't take long for the two to reach the intersection of Broadway and Bolinggreen Park, where a large and realistic scalper was placed in the middle of the road, which immediately attracted their attention.
The body of a cow more than one person tall, with a heavy copper yellow, almost the size of a real cow, four hooves on the ground, slightly bent backwards, horns standing high, tail upturned, standard charging posture.
There are more than a dozen people around posing and taking pictures with the copper bull, and some people are caressing the sturdy body of the copper bull, and the realistic shape makes people pay attention to everything around them.
Soon, Yulia and Qina also walked near the bronze bull, looking at the place between the hind legs of the bronze bull and the smiling flower branches trembled, two huge things, smooth and shiny, and a girl was posing there with her hands on her hand and posing for a photo.
It's too similar, it's bright and bright, it's big and round, and it's like having a good time.
When Shen Jiannan approached, the happy Qina gestured towards Shen Jiannan, with a smile in her beautiful eyes, as if she was saying again, it is really like you.
The girl who took the picture smiled and left with a boy, Yulia couldn't wait to encourage Qi Na to walk to the copper bull, squatting under the tail of the cow, and touching it, Qi Na was also full of curiosity, pressing her hand on it, stroking back and forth for a while.
Sturdy, round, and textured.
Playing with the things in her hand with Qi Na back and forth, Yulia shouted at Shen Jiannan with a smile.
"My dear. It's like yours, you come and touch it. ”
“......”
Shen Jiannan held his forehead with one hand and shouted so loudly, is it really good.
But Yulia and Qina didn't care about this, and kept shouting, as if they had seen something amazing.
"Two young ladies, I'm a man, what are you touching that thing for?"
"Then you take a picture for us. ”
