This time, the NASDAQ security guard was prepared, and when he saw Han Xuan planning to get out of the car, he waved him and waited.

A group of security guards raced against an even larger group of reporters, rushing to the front of the car, holding hands to separate the passages.

Bernard Madoff, the chairman of the NASDAQ, has just invited Mr. Han to the headquarters building to rest.

Now he is panting again, and his face is flushed.

Stretched out his hand to Han Xuan and laughed, "Welcome to our NASDAQ!"

Han Xuan saw the reporters waiting with long guns and short cannons, smiled, shook hands with Madoff, and held his posture for a few seconds before letting go.

There was an interview meeting after the bell rang, and I didn't plan to answer their questions now, but at this time, I heard someone in the crowd ask in Chinese: "Han Xuan! How much do you think the stock price will rise today?"

Han Xuan stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from, a middle-aged man with glasses held a microphone and swayed with the crowd.

I don't know how long it has been, but I haven't seen this familiar CCTV logo

It couldn't be that he was the only one present, it was estimated that he was squeezed away, made a gesture, and said happily: "Eight hundred million dollars!"

A group of foreign reporters were dumbfounded.

I don't know what I asked, and I don't understand what Han Xuan said.

Seeing him walk away without looking back, they all set their eyes on this Chinese reporter who didn't pay attention to it before.

An associate editor of the New York Times, who came in person today, tentatively asked, "Sorry, excuse me, I can speak English, right?"

What did he just say?"

A large piece was vacant next to the CCTV reporter, and he finished arranging his clothes and smoothing his hair.

I wasn't going to tell them, but after thinking about it, I thought it was something to be proud of.

Learn from Han Xuan to make a gesture of eight and shouted in English: "Han Xuan said that the market value of Starbucks can rise to 800 million US dollars today!"

This sentence once again ignited the reporters present!

Now Starbucks' market value is only about $195 million.

That is, to quadruple today?

The stock price went from 3.97 cents a share to $0.16 a share?!

They were sure that Starbucks' stock would rise sharply, and over time, rise to a terrifying number.

But this Chinese reporter accentuated his tone and made it clear that it will rise four times today!

Madoff was also stunned.

In my memory, since the establishment of the NASDAQ in 1971, there have been very few times that it has risen so many times.

And that's still based on the small scale of the company, the market value of 20 million US dollars can rise to 80 million, which is not unusual, but from 200 million to 600 million?

It's almost impossible!

I don't know where he got the confidence to say this, if he can't finish it, it will become a joke tomorrow.

The cautiousness of the shareholders he knows that drawing a big pie wants them to dig out their wallets, and countless companies that have done this have failed to succeed.

Shaking his head, he walked into the trading floor.

The clock on the wall, with the minute hand pointing to 52, has 8 minutes to go

The first time Han Xuan came here, he found that several walls of the NASDAQ trading hall were filled with display screens, and there were thousands of them.

Each one shows a company's closing price yesterday, as well as data on total shares, market capitalization, and yesterday's rise or fall, which is quite detailed.

He said to Madov, who had arrived, "It's very advanced." ”

"Well, of course, we are the only one in the world, NASDAQ, who has adopted this method.

The CPU is perfectly synchronized, and every transaction is calculated by the computer to display the exact number, and we spent more than $130 million on this equipment. ”

Madoff smiled and replied, "Nasdaq has a partnership with the Bloomberg News company you bought, allowing them to collect real-time data."

Not only did we not give us money, but we also paid Michael Bloomberg $4 million a year for helping us communicate with customers around the world. ”

"Haha, I just liked the role of those data terminals, so I bought it.

Where's my grandfather?"

"It's not right in the lounge, it's there!"

Madoff said, pointing to the bodyguards in the corner of the hall.

When Han Xuan saw this scene, he shook his head happily.

My own old man is helping himself to the town!

But with him here, there are indeed a lot more shareholders in front of the screen that shows Starbucks' stock price.

Approaching the screen, there was "Suspended" written in black on a red background, and there was a countdown in the upper left corner, with just over three minutes left.

Old Man Han patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit, are you nervous?"

"It's okay, I know it's going to go up, it's just a matter of how much, I'm not too nervous. Han Xuan sat down and replied.

"Then you're much better than me.

I remember the day East West Bank went public the year before last, I also rang the bell here.

The only time in my life.

Up only 11 percent, they are not interested in banks that serve the Chinese. ”

Madoff interjected at this time and said: "Now if you take it out and put it on the market, it will definitely be different."

Recently, I saw four East West Bank branches in New York that I were renovating, and the old bank used to hold events, and the queue for deposits could be lined up on the street corner, and it was a good way to send things to attract customers. ”

"Forget it, just a few months after it was delisted, it will be listed in the future, but not now. ”

Han Xuan waited for his grandfather to finish speaking, and then said, "I made a mistake."

East West Bank has few stores and has not achieved the desired results, so it should have built all the branches and then implemented this plan.

The number of depositors absorbed is limited, and this method has been learned by other banks. ”

"If you want to expand it, I would suggest buying other companies outright and building them yourself for several years before you see results. ”

“…… Do you have any good suggestions?"

Han Xuan asked him.

As Madoff said, setting up a bank requires a vault, a custodian, and so on, and it takes a long time, not to mention the cost of money.

In early October, the plan was to expand 20 banks across the United States, but some bank addresses have not yet been found.

Depositors are accustomed to a bank, so they rarely change, and it is difficult to recruit employees who are familiar with the bank's work.

Now not counting the money they have deposited in it, the other depositors together only have more than 530 million US dollars, which is not even a fourth-rate bank in the United States.

"Hmm

I can help you ask, how many listed banks are here, they don't have many assets, but they are all high-quality enterprises.

For example, Fitst-central-bank has assets of about $70 million.

There is also the American-International-Bank, which has assets of around $120 million.

Pacific Commercial Bank and Lianhua Bank are also high-quality assets.

As far as I know, these two companies are affected by the economic crisis, and there is a problem with the capital chain, so I can try to communicate with them."

Han Xuan's eyes were strange.

Seeing that Madoff was like a pimp, talking about seven small banks in succession, he suddenly felt that this profession was quite useful.

If you want to buy anything, you no longer have to risk being cheated and go to a consulting company to buy indetailed information.

As chairman of the NASDAQ, Madoff has access to the most complete data.

The smile is bright at the moment.

"Then I'm bothering you.

By the way, I'm planning to build a resort in Seventeen Mile Bay, California, and invite me to play here when I have time.

Seeing that you are about the same age as my grandfather, he often plays golf alone, maybe you can come and play sports with him. ”

Old Man Han was stunned.

I thought to myself that I had only been to the Gambo Sea Ranch twice, when did I become alone?

Thinking of the picture just now, I suddenly understood my grandson's careful thoughts.

Cunning like a little fox, he secretly glanced at him.

said: "Yes, the environment is good, suitable for our age to relax."

It's close to pebble beach and the golf course is good. ”

"Thank you, the doctor often says let me exercise, a little high blood lipids. ”

I don't know what Madoff was thinking, but the unusually happy expression on his face was definitely sincere.

He glanced at the long line of trading windows, some of whom were still holding phones, ready to buy the stocks they wanted, and all the monitors turned into countdowns.

He said, "It's almost open, and it's less than a minute away."

Congratulations in advance, boy, I think eight hundred million dollars might be a bit difficult."

Han Xuan smiled: "It's okay, I still have news to announce later" (to be continued.) )
