After Bill Campbell conveyed Zhang Chen's reply to Jobs, the Qiao gang leader was naturally furious again, this is still Bill Campbell's words with a little polish, if Zhang Chen's words are transferred to Jobs, Bill doubts that Jobs can get angry and have epilepsy.

Bill Campbell was not too optimistic about Jobs' return to Apple from the beginning, after all, Apple has accumulated a lot of difficulties, whether it is a bloated architecture, a backward product line and a chaotic market strategy, it cannot be solved in a day or two.

Zhang Chen didn't think that Jobs and Apple's board of directors could really agree to his conditions, it was nothing more than a bad taste, and he was angry with Jobs, and when he said it, he threw it in his back of his mind the next day, after all, he had too many things to deal with now.

Seeing that the time has entered June, Su Wenjin's due date is June 12th, his mother gave birth to a second child, how can he go back as a son, and the date of delivery can only be used as a reference, it is very normal to be a few days in advance or a few days later, Zhang Chen must leave before June 5th.

The Gulfstream V in Plácha has been officially transferred to the name of Tinder, which makes Zhang Chen's travel a lot easier, and before returning to China, Zhang Chen still needs to go to New York, and then fly from New York to the Big Circle Line and return to Bencheng via the North Pole.

Captain Owen Macmillan hired by Zhang Chen is a senior captain with 20 years of flying experience, and he is in his forties when he is in the prime of life, and he has served in the US Navy for seven years, flying F16, and his skills are very good.

Zhang Chen could never have imagined that the income of American pilots was relatively high compared to other industries, and the annual salary of a captain of Owen Macmillan was only 80,000 US dollars.

After talking to Macmillan, Zhang Chen realized that since the United States opened up air traffic control in 1978, a large number of low-cost airlines such as Virgin Atlantic squeezed into the market, causing all American airlines to put cost savings first. Moreover, it is relatively easy to obtain a pilot's license in the United States, and a large number of pilots retired by the military every year, which have squeezed into this market, resulting in the general low salary of American airline pilots.

"Thank you. Bellankefen took the black tea brought by the flight attendant and said to Zhang Chen: "Zack, I don't think it is a wise move to invest in these five properties, especially in the two units of Times Square and Morgan Building, the price is too high, and it is difficult for us to see the benefits in the short term." ”

Seeing that Zhang Chen was unmoved, Frank Fen shook his head and said, "The transaction value of these two properties alone is more than 48 million US dollars, and I don't think this is a worthwhile transaction." ”

Zhang Chen said: "Lauerde, take it easy, now that the price of real estate in New York is at a low point, this transaction will not be lost." ”

"I admit that in its current form, the real estate market in New York is indeed going to pick up in the next few years, but our profitability is well outpacing the growth rate of real estate prices, and I don't think it's a good idea to invest so much money in the real estate market," Belankefen insisted. Moreover, both of these properties are in the most expensive part of Manhattan and take up too much of our money. And you also bought the half-story basement of the Morgan Building, and my God, I don't understand what the use of the basement you want?

Zhang Chen smiled: "Lauerd, do you know the AST regulations (Alternative Trading System Regulations) that the Securities and Exchange Commission has just passed and will come into effect next year?"

Bellankefen didn't know what Zhang Chen was doing when he mentioned this, so he nodded, "I've heard that it is a regulation used to regulate electronic transactions and use online platform transactions, what does this have to do with our purchase of these properties?"

Zhang Chen didn't answer, but said slowly: "Lauerd, before the AST officially takes effect, I hope you can establish a good relationship with the major stock exchanges, as long as they give Goldman Sachs and Morgan what treatment they can give us, it doesn't matter how much money you spend on them." ”

Cowyce is an investment company separated from the source of the fire, Cowys is the god of wisdom, but few people know about it, but his children and grandchildren are all famous people, including Apollo, Artemis, and Hertatus, all of whom are his grandchildren.

Bellankefen looked at Zhang Chen suspiciously: "I don't understand." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "Lauerde, after the AST comes into effect, it is foreseeable that electronic trading will inevitably be comprehensive, do you know what this means?"

It means that the stronger the server performance of which brokerage, the closer the physical distance to the exchange server, the more it can get trading information in advance ahead of the zero point market. ”

Frankfinn was attentive, and although he still didn't understand too much, his intuition told him that what Zhang Chen was saying now was very important.

Zhang Chen waved his hand and asked the flight attendant to return to the service cabin, and only he and Bellankefen were left in the entire cabin." In this case, as long as there is a set of effective algorithms, coupled with a fast enough server and a short enough physical distance, we can get the transaction information in advance ahead of all brokerages by a few tenths of a second, for example, someone wants to sell a stock at a price of $10, and at the same time, someone wants to buy a stock at a price of $10.1, as long as our server is fast enough, we can buy the stock at $10.01 before everyone, and then sell it to the person who wants to buy at $10.1 in milliseconds, as long as the processing power of the computer is strong enough, it can complete tens of thousands of transactions per second. Even if the market is not volatile, as long as we can continue to provide liquidity, the 25 cents rebate given by the exchange can make us a lot of money on each lot of stocks, do you understand the opportunity?"

Bellankefen's scalp tingled, "Zack, this is cheating!"

Zhang Chen looked at Bellankefen with a smile: "You're half right, Lauerde, this is indeed cheating, but it's blatant cheating." The best part is that it doesn't break any of the laws, but it does something more lucrative than drug trafficking. ”

Blancfin glared at two round eyes: "You bought these two properties just to set up a server, so that you can get the closest physical distance to the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ?"

Zhang Chen nodded: "Yes, in fact, the best way is to set up the Cowys's server in the exchange's computer room, which can be back to face with the exchange's server, the closer the better, but now the major exchanges are not allowed to do this, so now these two properties are the best choice at present." ”

"At the same time, as I said, you have to get closer to the major exchanges as soon as possible, and after the AST is implemented, let them allow us to access their servers as soon as possible, even if they give a certain amount of custody fees every day. ”

Belankefen hadn't come back to his senses yet: "It's incredible, it's a trading pattern that has never been seen before, it's hard for me to call it an adjective, it's like... ”

Zhang Chen opened his mouth and said, "Lightning, lightning trading." ”
