The Liberty City Investment Company is like a battlefield, everyone has a loose tie, the sleeves of their white shirts are curled, and they are trotting all the way, and all of them have excited expressions on their faces.

In front of the office hall, a group of people are setting up a large LED splicing screen, and now the big boss has become a big tyrant, and the natural working environment should be fully upgraded. Restore the stock trading floor directly in the company.

After all, now there will be rewards for the money-making transactions made by each company group, which is a real feast for them, luxury cars and mansions with a lot of dollars will be realized in this feast, what is the fortune of playing, opportunity is the most important, almost everyone has a greedy green light in their eyes, this is the norm on Wall Street.

For Andy, Wall Street without supervision is better than paying taxes to his subordinates who can bring him wealth, after all, they are the guns in his hands.

"Boss, since this morning, there have been calls coming in, asking if our company has a fund project, and many people want to give us money, you see... ”

Andy was in a happy mood with his hands propped up on the floor-to-ceiling windows, his somewhat frivolous face against the glass, looking at the paparazzi downstairs, hearing Bardstone's words, he smiled and turned around and said, "What do you think?"

"I think it can become a private equity fund, after all, it is impossible to operate with your personal funds as a boss, using this effect, and the next feast, our Liberty City will become the hottest investment company on Wall Street, both in terms of company profitability, and in terms of your influence and connections. ”

"Since there are benefits, why don't you do it, let's get two $1 billion funds first, one with a minimum threshold of 1 million, and the other with a threshold of 10 million, risk types or something, these are experts. ”

"Hehe, good boss, with your current wealth and influence, I think once the news of the establishment of these two funds is released, it will be sold out soon. ”

Andy shook his head with a smile, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said lightly, "I hope!"

The capital market is a money game, the more funds in hand can leverage the greater the market power, of course, there is no way to compare with the large investment banks that are tens of billions of dollars at every turn, but the advantages of the fund project set up by Andy are flexible operation, low cost of building positions, and then absolute returns and incentive mechanisms.

Private equity funds are called the rich man's game, which makes sense, after all, even in the rabbit country, the subscription threshold for each private placement is 1 million.

Andy thinks that the current stock market is still not changing the upward trend, since the government is advocating a "bull market", Andy will naturally not go against the trend, Andy still has a memory of the node of the US stock market crash, and the US stock market before October was all the way up, so it is natural to make good use of it to make a wave of money.

By the time the October node arrives, it's time to short the picked out U.S. stocks.

I believe that many people do not understand very well about shorting stocks, in fact, it is easy to understand in layman's terms: if a stock price is 100 yuan, and you think the stock price is too high, then you will sell the stock. But you don't have this stock in your hand, what can you do? Ask the broker to borrow the stock to sell. But if you borrow it, you have to pay it back. If the stock does fall to $80 a few days later, as you wish, then when you reach the price of $80, buy the stock and return it to the broker, so that you earn $20 per share, and there is no handling fee.

Of course, not everyone can borrow stocks from brokers, and there is a threshold for individuals to go long and short, so don't think about it. . .

"Hehe, the current U.S. stock market is like a bathtub of bathwater, obviously the plug has been unplugged, the bath water is constantly flowing out, but on the surface it looks calm, but in fact the undertide is surging. But when people saw the whirlpool, they knew that the water was about to run out. ”

"This is determined by people's profit-seeking, after everyone tastes the delicious taste of making money, they will become blind and arrogant, thinking that they will not become the most unlucky one, the stock market exists for a day, this kind of thing will always exist, the lesson of failure is always someone else's, new entrants will not

Care about. ”

As a senior professional, Bardstone naturally understands more clearly, they are eating this kind of food, as long as people have a thirst for money, there will never be a shortage of speculators who enter the capital market in this endless cycle.

Watching Badstone leave the office, Andy sat at his desk and looked at an A4 piece of paper in his hand, on which was the first generation of armor that he drew in pencil in Iron Man 1, the pile of iron lumps that Tony Stark had made in the cave.

To convince the old stubborn Stan Lee, what could be more convincing than the sketches of the steel suit in a few movies with Iron Man appearing, well, for the exploded view of Mark's armor, Andy needs to enter the supergod state, and draw the scoop according to the gourd little by little, after all, Andy doesn't know anything about machinery or anything.

Putting the first sketch into the file bag, Andy remembered the security escalation issue that Joseph had asked him earlier, got up from his seat, walked to the door, opened the door, and waved to Joseph and Kenny.

The two quickly walked in, and Andy smiled and reached out. "Sit down, let's talk. ”

"Time flies really fast, it's been a year in the blink of an eye, and this year, I'm very satisfied with the work of the two of you... ”

Joseph and Kenny glanced at each other, listening to the boss's words, how they felt like they were going to fire them, although the expression on their faces did not change much, but their hearts sank.

After all, if you want to be a bodyguard for Andy, it is not easy to find a job with a high salary, good salary, and no great danger. Just when the two of them listened to Andy's words, the expressions on their faces became more and more unnatural, and they suddenly heard it.

"That's the case ... Ahem, although it's a bit unethical, but I still hope that the two of you can come and help me, I want to set up a security company, and the two of you join the company as partners in the company, I don't know what you two think?"

Joseph and Kenny's eyes widened, and the hearts that were sinking just now suddenly became brighter, this is the young boss who wants to promote them, the bodyguard and the partner of the security company are worlds apart, especially how capable and background the young boss in front of him is so capable and background, as Andy's personal bodyguards, it is clear.

"Thank you, boss, for giving me and Kenny this opportunity... Joseph didn't hesitate at all, to be honest, this was the biggest opportunity in his life, the change was just around the corner, as for the problem of the original company, for them, the mercenaries who came down from the battlefield, Blackwater, hehe, is really just a hiring platform, it doesn't need loyalty, it just wants a killing machine that can complete the battlefield mission.

Kenny nodded his head in delight, agreeing with Joseph's words.

"Hehe, that's good, I was worried that the two of you wouldn't agree, and it would become awkward to get along in the future, in this case, I'm relieved, I'll recruit a CEO and administrative staff, build the company's framework, and you, as a shareholder, are responsible for the recruitment and training of security personnel, I think it should be very simple for you." Andy breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he really didn't tell a lie, and he was really worried that these two would hesitate.

"Boss, no problem, Kenny and I both had our own combat teams before, and it only takes a phone call to recruit them, but, boss, our company's business... ”

Andy looked at Joseph with a hint of unspeakable concealment on his face, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there anything wrong with the company's business?"

"That's right, if our company is just a simple security consulting company, then we need to recruit personnel for training, and Kenny's team and I need to screen personnel, after all, some of them have war syndrome, and it is difficult to adapt to normal social life, and many people are unable to adapt to normal life after retirement, so they can only pick up their guns and become mercenaries again, until they die on the battlefield at some point... ”

Saying that, Joseph and Kenny's originally high mood was a little low, and the fate of too many soldiers was deflected after six years of war.

"You want to ask if the company's business includes military contracting, right?" Andy quickly understood what they meant, after all, a killing machine and a bodyguard are two different things, and they can't be changed 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 world in the future, to be honest, he doesn't care about any military contracting business, there are many ways to make money, and he doesn't exclude war money, but the reputation is not good, but who cares, the most important thing is to legally control an armed force in his hands, a rapid reaction force that can protect himself and his assets, after all, the major business forces in the United States have their own armed forces, and even the bodyguard of the richest man in Hong Kong is a mercenary he raised, only his own people or his subordinates can do their best to ensure loyalty, of course, it is nonsense to talk about loyalty with foreigners, but the spirit of contract and whose job bowl can still make foreigners work for themselves.
