Although New Haven is a traditional port city, with a large number of goods being loaded and unloaded from here every day, it is not a traditional financial powerhouse.

The financial capital here has been in the limelight of New York City for the past 50 years, 100 years. All the while, just a little brother shrouded in the shadow of New York City.

From the early spring of 1860, however, things seemed to be somewhat different.

Although the sea breeze is still cold, New Haven's financial industry has entered a warm spring.

"Boss, the total amount of our cumulative investment has been 51,375 US dollars. However, our capital reserves are only $10,000 worth of U.S. bank bills, and angel investment has also started on Huaye Street.

Nick, who has been promoted to head of the investment department, admonished Doug.

"No, continue to follow the normal process and accept entrepreneurs who submit proposals. When Doug spoke, his eyes did not take off the newspaper in his hand, as if something important to Nick was not as good as the words on the newspaper on Doug's side.

"But...... If our capital chain breaks...... That...... Now the first phase of entrepreneurial projects has entered a time when a lot of money is needed. You also know that although you have the final say on how many U.S. bank bills you want to issue, not all places recognize your U.S. bank bills......

The point is, if the Wall Street guys, we get in the way, if they start running on the Bank of America, we're ...... We're going to have a hard time!"

Nick continued.

His last sentence is what he wants to express in the end.

The financial industry is a casino with opaque rules.

People in this industry may not have much money, but there are various ways to make themselves hundreds or thousands of times more capital.

In this industry, the big banks are both gamblers and bookmakers.

They are able to direct the flow of large-scale funds, and if small and medium-sized banks do not depend on them and want to do something on their own, they can easily fall into the danger of bankruptcy.

After all, almost all banks do not own their own money. The amount of money they used was far greater than they could use.

Although Nick was only a small person on Wall Street at the beginning, he has worked there for several years, and he has seen the rules of Wall Street very clearly.

There, any so-called economics, so-called scientific formulas, are just fancy tools to weave lies.

One lie connects to another.

One lie after another folds together and ends up generating a lot of profit for the rentier.

What does it matter how many people are bankrupt, how many are homeless, and how many people die without a place to bury behind these lies?

Anyone will die, but sooner or later.

Even if those people commit suicide on Wall Street because of this, what's the problem?

Wall Street people will only think that they are powerful, and those people are stupid, but they will not feel that they are immoral in doing this.

For them, money is morality.

After Nick finished speaking, Doug put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Nick, what do you think is the difference between Claydon Investment Bank, or Bank of America, and the bank you worked for before?"

"The difference?" Nick repeated, in fact he didn't feel the difference.

Looking at his expression, Doug knew that he didn't have a sense of how Bank of America was different from other banks.

He picked up the pen, wrote down a few addresses in the newspaper, beckoned Nick to come and pick it up, and when Nick got the newspaper, he said, "You can go to the following places to have a look, maybe you will have a deeper understanding of Bank of America." I'm sure this will be good for your next work. After all – the banking sector, the most important thing is confidence. ”

Nick was holding a newspaper with a total of five addresses, all in New Haven.

The first address is "Claydon Printing & Dyeing Factory", the second is "Winchester Arms Company", the third is "Tom & Doug Chemical Company", the fourth is "Pemberton Beverage Factory", and the fifth is "General Steak" that he has been eating lately.

When he saw the above addresses, the first thing that came to his mind was nothing else, but the boss Doug Claydon, who had no idea about those people on Wall Street at all.

If he had any idea, he would have known that even with these five properties, Bank of America would never be able to compete with the tycoons of Wall Street.

Or just resign?

Because he is already the head of the investment department at Claydon Investment Bank, he has been frequently approached recently, wanting him to return to Wall Street and lead the work of venture capital.

Although the salary did not increase much, it allowed him to return to Wall Street instead of in the backcountry of New Haven.

Although he was tempted, he knew that for a mercenary like him, the best fate was to be thrown away after emitting light and heat.

Although mercenaries in the banking industry are rampant, there are always many people who jump from this bank to that bank.

However, the highest point in the lives of these people who frequently change jobs is just ordinary middle management.

There is hardly any opportunity to get into the upper echelons of the bank.

Because, what mercenaries lack is loyalty.

No matter how professional you are, no matter how strong your ability is, if you don't have the trait of loyalty, it's useless.

There are people who can do things, but there are not many people who are loyal.

In addition to this, he has another hesitation, that is, a job at Claydon Investment Bank, which can be described as smooth.

Because Claydon Investment Bank has not been established for a long time, in such a young bank, the factional struggle is not so severe.

In other words, there is still plenty of room to do things.

Unnecessary internal friction is far from as high as imagined.

And, if Claydon Investment Bank can continue to grow. Nick, who is already the head of the investment department, is likely to be one of the top of the mountain.

It was precisely because of this that Nick said those words to Doug.

Because, he really wants that Claydon Investment Bank can continue to exist, and not be wiped out under the deliberate attack of Wall Street.

For now, however, his persuasion has had little effect.

The name of Wall Street, in the eyes of people outside Wall Street, is not famous.

Even those who know it don't know what kind of power this name contains.

Nick sighed secretly, maybe returning to Wall Street is his fate.

As for these five addresses, I should go and see them before I leave.

In this way, even if you return to Wall Street, you will have more information to say.

Then, he got into the official carriage of the Claydon Investment Bank and went to the first address in the newspaper, "Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory".

The surroundings of the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory have changed a lot from the beginning.

The slum opposite, the part near the Clayden dyeing factory, has been turned into one clean and neat little building after another.

Although these small buildings look a little too modest.

However, it is a building made of concrete and iron reinforcements.

Of course, the durability of these buildings is not very high.

After all, these buildings were built at unsuitable temperatures.

But even so, these small buildings can still be considered high-end residences in New Haven.

The owners of these high-end residences are employees of the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory.

The workers of the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory, at this moment, have become a source of income for more people.

In the vicinity of the high-end residences, there is not only a market, but also many people who help the workers around the market.

For example, housekeeping, like a small restaurant.

It's becoming a core neighborhood in New Haven.

And all this is formed naturally in a very short period of time.

However, he didn't know much about these Nicks, and he only saw a bunch of small two-story buildings on the opposite side of the Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory.

It's just that he doesn't know when these two-story buildings were built.

On the opposite side of these two-storey buildings is the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory.

The printing and dyeing factory, which originally purchased the Desire Smith Printing and Dyeing Factory, has also undergone many changes.

First of all, it is the extensive use of steam power, and the "semi-automated" production line has pushed the production of "Monopoly" to an extreme.

More than 3,500 Monopoly games are produced here every day.

That number may not seem like much.

But you must know that the market capacity of the entire New Haven "Monopoly" is only 3,500 sets.

In other words, the "Monopoly" produced here is sold in far more places than imagined.

"Hello, I'm Nick from Claydon Investment Bank, and President Doug asked me to come here for a tour. This is written by President Doug's own hand. Nick said as he got out of the carriage.

Opposite him, is a small house, and the person inside this small house is Nathan.

Nathan is a licking dog, and he licks not women, but Doug.

His devotion to Doug was far greater than Doug could have imagined.

In addition, although his ability is not outstanding, he doesn't need to be too outstanding as a security captain.

Therefore, with his excellent tongue, he became the security captain of the Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory.

This security captain is different from the previous verbal security captain.

Not only do you have access to higher-level meetings, but you also get paid more.

Of course, these salaries are also a lot for Nathan.

He has an insatiable desire for these wages.

But, at the same time, as a licking dog, he also knows who brings his salary.

As a result, he retains an infinite reverence for Doug Claydon.

Even for everything that has to do with Doug Claydon.

"Are you? Claydon Investment Bank?" asked Nathan as he checked the paperwork.

Although his vocabulary is pitiful, Claydon still knows the word.

When he saw that the familiar words were indeed written by Doug himself, the smile on his face was about to overflow.

He said, "Wherever your Excellency wants to visit, I will take you to visit." Except for areas that are confidential enough that require additional approvals, you can go wherever you want. ”

Although Nathan is a licking dog, he is a licking dog with rules.

Because, only if you can keep the rules and know what you can and can't do, can you leave a better impression and make the boss recognize you more.

If it is an unprincipled licking, you can only get disgust in exchange.

Because, what the boss needs is licking, not losing something very important in the process of licking.

As long as the dog licks the moderation, there can be House.

The kind of dog that licks without skill will eventually have nothing.

And now, Nathan, who owns a small building opposite the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory, is obviously the most well-behaved licking dog.

When Nick saw Nathan's appearance, he suddenly felt a hint of familiarity.

On Wall Street, there are also many such licking dogs, they may not be capable, but they can be appreciated by the boss.

Even if they mess up something, the boss will forgive them and give them more resources.

However, Nick hates an environment full of licking dogs.

Because, licking dogs waste all their talents on licking, and they are not very good at doing things.

Thinking of this, Nick suddenly found that Boss Doug was also a layman, and he was also a comfortable person who would be licked by a dog.

Actually, it's right to think about it.

In the case that the company can operate normally, there is a subordinate who is always scared, and a subordinate who is always licked, after all, it is happier to be licked.

"Just take me around. Nick said politely, and even used honorifics, which is also the experience he has accumulated over the long years in dealing with creatures like licking dogs.

Don't look at what they might be doing right now, it's not very important and very central.

But they are able to speak in front of the people at the very core.

You never know what they'll be able to say in order to lick it.

If, because of such a licking dog, you are going to your own future, it is really bad.

However, Nick disdains to be a licking dog, and even if he is, he wants to be a licking dog himself.

Because, he thinks he is a very good person.

The reason why the current situation is not very suitable for his excellence, just because for the time being, he has not encountered a good time.

It's like people in the South of the United States who like to brag about the nakedness of cows.

Nick felt that if there was a suitable opportunity to stand in the tuyere of an industry, he could fly like a blown cow.

It's just that my luck is not very good, and I didn't encounter such an outlet.

Nathan looked at Nick, who was very restrained although he used honorifics, and sneered in his heart, "Just you, you want to earn favor with me too?"
