Chapter 9: A Feast of Wealth
"James, my dear friend. ”
Entering the company, bypassing the screen, I saw a blonde Jade, dressed in a suit and combed his hair, and the company's trader quietly staring at the screen that had been transformed into a NASDAQ disk, no one spoke, and the only movement was the constant humming sound of the case of the desktop computer.
"Brush" Hearing George's voice, the people of the company turned their heads staring at the market in the direction of George like an army.
"George, you're finally back, you know, my heart is beating so hard,,,,,,, I don't know what words to use to express my feelings at this moment, really,,,,,,,
You know when I saw the Fed speak, there was a voice in my heart, we bet right, you are silent, my heart is still beating hard,,,,,,,"
James was the first to react, and immediately pounced on George's body, and slapped him on the back fiercely while talking a little incoherently.
"James, we won, didn't we?"
George was a little confused by James's reaction and movements, and soon the painful reaction of his body made him quickly wake up, and he tried to separate James's hands that were holding him.
"Ah,,,,,,,, a hundred points, oh my God,,,,,,, this is going crazy, look at that, it's already five thousand. ”
At this time, I don't know who suddenly shouted, pulling everyone's attention back to the market and their respective computers.
"Ah,,,,,,hh,,,,,,,,,,,,,h
At this moment, all the traders jumped together, so that the entire floor and even the rest of the employees in the company who worked overtime walked out of the company to check around with this burst of calls, but because George entered the company, because he thought of the celebration cheers in advance, the onlookers locked the glass door in advance, so that they could only hear the shouts but didn't know why.
George's originally calm mood was brought back into the cheers and celebrations of the traders at this moment, and he involuntarily joined in their cheers.
"Two hundred points,,,,,,, no,,,,,, George, you see that the city has fallen by two hundred and thirty points, oh my God, what is the situation, is this still the world I know
,,,,,,Ah,,,,,,,, I feel my heart beating faster,,,,,,,,, brothers, let's celebrate this great occasion." ”
James ripped off his brown blazer shortly after George joined in the celebration and threw it aside, ready to express his excitement by giving a live performance of the Jackson mechanical dance he had studied for a long time, but who knew that he had just jumped a few steps before he fell to the ground due to the uneven force of excitement.
The trader next to him picked up the champagne that James brought over when he went to work, shook it directly, opened the cork, and sprayed everyone.
Looking at this scene, George really didn't know what words to use to express his feelings.
This is a carnival of capital, another carnival of capital since the 97 Asian financial crisis, only two of the five traders in front of him have participated in that carnival, and they seem a little calmer at the moment, but the excited expression on their faces when they stand there still still exposes their excitement, and the rest of the three, including James, have never experienced such a situation, and George will not feel strange no matter what he does under the stimulation of the constantly jumping numbers.
Even George can't express his feelings in words at the moment, he has personally seen the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and personally experienced the feast created by Tencent for him from more than 100 to more than 300, but it is too far away from now.
A million dollars of wealth may make an ordinary person ecstatic, but billions or even tens of billions of dollars of wealth can make a person crazy.
Marx said in Capital that "as soon as there is a proper profit, capital becomes emboldened." If there is 10 percent of the profit, it will be used everywhere; if there is 20 percent of the profit, it will become active, if there is 50 percent of the profit, it will take risks, and for the sake of 100 percent of the profit, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world; and if there is 300 percent of the profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even to the risk of hanging its head. ”
George wasn't sure if he would make any moves if he had tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in front of him at this moment.
But that's all in the past.
What crime could be more intimate and insane than the numbers that are creating wealth for him at this moment.
What crime can be compared to the wealth that a crisis brings to oneself?
After the hysterical release of the passion calmed down, George had a faint smile on his face and looked at the few people in front of him who were still celebrating and even singing and dancing.
As an illegitimate child, George has never had any sense of security, and before he became the heir to the family, even Qiao Li, a mother, sometimes couldn't guess George's thoughts.
The main reason is that the more George reads Chinese historiography, the weaker his sense of security becomes, there is no way, the big family will not recognize illegitimate children, and illegitimate children will become a stain on them in some ways, so they will lose too much in many places.
For example, George's cheap old man and grandfather tried their best to arrange for George to enter the ranks of the family heirs, but he still did not recognize him to the outside world, because this year is the time of the election of congressmen, and it is impossible for him to blow up the stain when his opponents dare not report it.
From a state legislator to a member of Congress, Smith Wallen's leap is impossible, the higher his position, the greater the power of the family he will get, and it is impossible for him to lose a big one at such a critical moment.
What's more, in the history that George is familiar with, illegitimate children really don't have too many good ends, either death or poverty, and there are few people who can really rise up.
Therefore, he did not dare to gamble, everything could only rely on himself, which is why he had to press all the company's funds together as soon as he woke up.
Only the more he gets, the more guarantees he has for his safety.
In the same way, as long as you prove your ability and can bring them more things, then your safety will at least be guaranteed.
When the other heirs and rivals want to do it to themselves, there will be people who will stop them, because they can bring them more benefits.
In the United States, where interests are paramount, interests are often the only way to protect themselves, which gives George more time to weave his own network of interests.
"George, aren't you excited? These are all green Franklin,,,,,,,,
You know, in just one hour, he's brought you over two billion dollars, and I can't believe it, it's so easy, it's really too easy.
I couldn't figure out what I needed to do to spend the money, and I thought I might bring it out and put it on the bed and sleep on it.
Hahahaha"
After cheering with the trader, James still had an excited expression on his face, grabbed George's arm, and said with an exaggerated expression on his face.
"James, it's nothing, it's just that glass of water in the ocean, not much, not much at all, you have to know that this is just the beginning, and when it's over, you'll understand that numbers are just numbers after all. ”
George directly took the remaining half of the bottle of champagne in James's hand, and after blowing the bottle, he said calmly.
At this moment, George really felt why those super-rich people always said that money is a number and never cared too much about them.
Looking at the numbers that were still falling, he could feel that after all of them were cashed out and remitted to his account, the heavenly amount was just a number, but more or less.
At this moment, he needs to change these numbers for influence, instead of living by these numbers, if only because of money, then now he can stop and live whatever life he wants.
"A glass of water in the ocean? Hahahaha, that's a wonderful statement. Compared to the glass of water that has evaporated now, George, you are so talented. ”
After listening to George's words, James' red eyes gradually regained their clarity, and although he still had an unbridled smile on his face, he was much more sensible.
It is not possible to do finance without a rational mind, otherwise it is very easy to miss the opportunity no matter what, it is easy to miss the opportunity, it is good to say that it is good to miss, but once it is difficult to make up for the big losses caused by irrationality and not calm, it is not a few who have caused huge losses due to such a hot mind throughout the financial history, and the old century-old bank Bank of Bahrain soon went bankrupt because of an irrational trader who caused irreparable losses.
"George, what should we do now, the market is changing at any time, those people will not be willing to suffer losses, they will definitely fight back, you see if we are part of the clearance, after all, it is ,,,,,, now"
Smith stepped aside, found a small towel, wiped his wet hair from the celebration, took a goblet, walked back and motioned for George, who was still holding the champagne, to pour him a full mouth.
