Chen Xu traveled thousands of miles to the United States, but before he had time to take a good look at this capitalist country, how could he leave so gloomy?

Even if he wants to leave, it will not be after that Kim Chaeyoung threatened.

It's business as usual.

Their itinerary is planned for a total of 10 days, of which the international academic conference will be held for one week, from the 20th to the 26th, and the remaining three days will be free to move.

Of course, Chen Xu is not a reckless man, and he decided to stay after comprehensive consideration.

First of all, as Professor Liu Chenglin said, he is almost certain that Kim Chaeyoung's words are just because of his unscrupulous words after the negotiation failed, and as a global commercial company, Adobe's leadership cannot be mentally retarded enough to attack him personally.

Nowadays, everyone is fighting their brains, who would dare to play with you if you always use knives and guns?

Secondly, although it is now during the trade war, it is impossible for the government of the United States to do anything to him like this little shrimp.

Not to mention the commercial technology of facial liquefaction and restoration, although the CX language is powerful, but the technology has already been made public, what else? You can't learn it, and you blame me for the teacher's bad teaching?

However, he was not afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case, Chen Xu also contacted a local security company in Boston and asked them to formulate a security plan for their next few days.

Less than twenty minutes after the payment was made, the security company sent someone, three tall white bodyguards.

After handing over to Chen Xu, they took up their posts. It is mainly used to provide vehicles and personal protection for travel.

On the 25th and 26th, Chen Xu attended the academic conference normally.

At the meeting, Chen Xu met many, many top experts and scholars in the industry.

These experts and scholars are a group of people who really do learning, regardless of nationality or skin color, they get together to discuss research related topics, when they talk about happiness, they slap their hands and laugh, and they will quarrel when they encounter some contradictory problems.

Chen Xu was greatly inspired.

On the evening of the 26th, Professor Liu Chenglin went to New York to visit his son and daughter, and before leaving, he instructed Chen Xu to pay attention to safety.

The other professors also have their own things.

In the end, there were only two people left, Chen Xu and Shen Yongchang.

These days, under the leadership of Shen Yongchang, Chen Xu has a preliminary understanding of Boston.

Boston is a small port city surrounded by 20 major residential areas with a population of less than 600,000 people, including the Downtown/Financial District, the North Side, Chinatown/Theater District, Back Bay, and Beacon Hills.

Despite its small size, the city has an impressive collection of cultural art, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Gardner Museum, both of which are among the best museums in the world.

There are also prestigious performing arts halls such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Ballet.

Two days ago, Shen Yongchang had taken Chen Xu to see the famous "Museum of Fine Arts, Boston" and "Gardner Museum".

In addition, I went to the famous "Boston Common".

It is a 20-plus hectare park that is home to Park Street Station, the hub of the Boston subway system.

This is also the starting point of the famous "Freedom Trail", a red brick road that zigzags for about 4 kilometers and runs through downtown Boston, stringing together many important sites of the American Revolution.

The two of them discussed in the room, and Shen Yongchang proposed to go to the famous "Newbury Street", but Chen Xu vetoed it.

He was not interested in shopping streets.

Then Shen Yongchang proposed to go on a boat again.

Boston's Public Garden in Beacon Hill has a beautiful lake, and this time of year visitors can experience the famous "Swan Cruise" tour.

However, Chen Xu was still not interested.

Anyone who has traveled knows that whatever you climb by boat is a pit.

Shen Yongchang thought for a while and said, "Do you want to go shopping in Chinatown?"

When Chen Xu heard this, this is okay.

Then I agreed.

The two of them got out of the room, took the elevator all the way down to the first floor, and then walked towards the main entrance.

Walking and walking, Shen Yongchang felt that something was wrong, why were there two tall white men sandwiching them between one left and one right?

Look at these two foreigners, one meter and nine meters away, wearing a black jacket, the strong physique catches up with him two, and there is a fierce smell all over his body, and he knows that he is from a military background at a glance.

Seeing that the two big men were getting closer and closer, Shen Yongchang hurriedly grabbed Chen Xu, "Hey, wait a minute." ”

Chen Xu saw the expression on Shen Yongchang's face and said with a smile: "It's okay, the assistant I hired." After saying that, he grabbed his arm with his backhand and walked forward.

Shen Yongchang said strangely: "What kind of assistant?"

"Security Assistant. ”

Shen Yongchang paused for a moment, and then realized that he was a bodyguard, and gave Chen Xu a thumbs up and said, "Niu Cha~"

Shen Yongchang knew that Chen Xu was starting a company, and Sword and Shield was now very popular in China, so it was not too surprising that he could afford to hire bodyguards.

After waiting for a seven-seater Dodge business car parked at the entrance of the hotel, Shen Yongchang asked in a low voice: "The manual service in the United States is very expensive, isn't it cheap to invite these bodyguards?"

Chen Xu nodded.

"How much?"

Chen Xu gestured two fingers.

Shen Yongchang gave a thumbs up again, "Rich man." ”

Chen Xu smiled, and then chatted with Shen Yongchang about some academic issues.

……

As the topic of facial liquefaction and repair continues to ferment on the Chinese Internet, the stock prices of several major listed live broadcast platforms have also fallen all the way.

As of 5 p.m. local time on the 26th, in just four days, the stock price fell by more than 30%.

Among them, Adobe's decline reached the warning line of 10%, and tens of billions of dollars evaporated out of thin air.

Someone loses and someone earns.

The speculative institutions on Wall Street that eat people and don't spit out bones will naturally not miss this opportunity.

As for exactly how much they got out of it, it's not clear.

Anyway, a team from Chinese mainland, with a principal of 30 million US dollars and 20 times leverage, leveraged a capital of 600 million US dollars, and the paper floating profit reached 85 million US dollars in four days. That's nearly three times the principal.

This is also because the stock market in the United States stipulates that "when a stock falls by more than 10% on the same day, it will automatically prohibit short selling within 3 days to avoid irrational acceleration of the decline", otherwise the floating profit on paper would not be 85 million US dollars.

At the opening of the market on the 27th, the short-selling stocks were still falling and falling.

Just when Chen Xu and Shen Yongchang arrived in Boston's Chinatown, they received a call from the team leader.

After chatting for a while, Chen Xu asked, "How much?"

"Less than 90 million, if it is delivered now, the net income is about 68 million. ”

Chen Xu calculated, he had to pay more than 20 million US dollars in taxes, and his flesh hurt.

The difference between the US stock market and China is that only those who make money pay taxes, not counting the capital you invest, but only the part of the money you earn.

For example, Chen Xu invested a total of $30 million this time, and after selling the capital and profits, he got a total of $120 million, deducting the handling fee for buying and selling stocks, such as $10, and finally only counting the income tax of $89999990.

However, the tax is very high, and the deduction is about 25%, which is much higher than in China.

If the stock loses money, there is no such thing as being taxed. Not a penny of income tax is paid.

Chinese stocks are different, if you lose money when you buy and sell stocks in China, you will lose even more, and the problem is that you have to pay taxes when you make money, and you still have to pay taxes when you lose money.

Therefore, Chinese stock trading can only make money, otherwise you will suffer even more.

Because of this, those who make money in China are happier and pay less fees, while those who lose are even worse.

This is still very good for the US stock market.

If you make money, you will be happy if you pay more taxes, and you will be able to shed less blood if you lose money.

Just like Chen Xu, he is in pain and happy at this time.

Accept it when it is good, Chen Xu then asked the other party to empty it all on the phone, leaving nothing at all.

When he hung up the phone, Chen Xu's hands and feet were cold, his heart was pounding, and he felt a little deprived of oxygen.

Last week, Lei Jun called him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was hundreds of millions of dollars, although his adrenaline was a little rushing, but his mind was very clear, because his subconscious told him that he couldn't get the money and didn't want to take it, so he could calmly refuse his proposal.

But now it's different.

It's his.

More than 60 million US dollars, how much is converted into RMB?

Chen Xu can't count it.

Anyway, both feet were a little soft when I got out of the car.

Looking up at the archway in front of you, there is a plaque on it, which reads "Gong Wei goes down to heaven".

Chen Xuleng reacted after a while, and he read it backwards, it is "the world is the public".

"It's Boston's Chinatown. Shen Yongchang stood next to him and said with a smile: "Let's go, go in and have a walk, this place is actually no different from Xiangjiang, where immigrants from coastal cities such as Yangcheng, Fujian, and Xiangjiang were mainly used in the early days."

After taking root, it is one by one, and even more than half of the people in a village live here. ”

Chen Xu followed Shen Yongchang's footsteps and walked ahead, watching as he walked.

Behind the archway is a fat cow hot pot city.

Further on, there are shops along the street with red walls and red tiles.

There are many people on the road, just like Shen Yongchang said, a glance at the streets of Chinatown, almost a miniature of the streets of Xiangjiang shown on TV, most of the eyes are Chinese, and the non-Chinese who occasionally flash are also blonde and blue-eyed whites, and most of the store signs are in traditional characters.

"No wonder it's called Chinatown, if I don't say it, I really think I'm in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan now. ”
