Chapter 246: Belief and Trust

Someone who is admired by a financial expert like Flenn, Link is certainly interested in investing. It's just that he's worried that for someone like Neil, pride will ruin everything.

Whether it is subjective or not, pride will inevitably make people self-serving. Maybe not now, but someday it will. Especially after experiencing success.

He had heard from Flon that the Gaddis Company was almost alone in Neil. In other words, the Gaddis company is Neil alone.

And that's exactly where the problem arises: no one can always be right!

However, he felt that now should be Neil's most cautious period. Because Neil can't afford to lose. A cautious and capable person is still worth investing in a short period of time. Of course, there are risks, but investment is inherently risky.

He thought for a moment and said, "You are the fox of Wall Street, and of course I want to believe in your abilities." But Neil, with all due respect. There are too many enemies around you, they are the bears of Wall Street, the wolves of Wall Street, and possibly the tigers of Wall Street. And they're stronger than you, and they're probably outnumbered. ”

He looked at the other party and pursed his lips, and continued, "So unless you can prove that you have the ability and means to avoid them, I won't risk investing in you." ”

Neil had the same feeling he had when he went to an interview right out of school. The feeling made him so uncomfortable that he even wanted to get up and leave. However, he knew that Link might be the only person who could invest his large sums of money in a short period of time. And he is in dire need of money now. With each day he pushed back, his plan risked being discovered by Wall Street.

He forced himself to sit and listen to Link. Luckily, the meaning of Link's words was completely unacceptable to him. And he is not afraid to reveal his plans to Link a little, because Link is also a public enemy of Wall Street.

He thought for a moment and said, "I registered an offshore company five years ago. It is a pseudonym. You know, there are countries where registered companies do not need to disclose shareholder information. ”

Link nodded, indicating that he knew about it.

Neil took a sip from his teacup and lowered his voice and said, "I own that company, only Claire knows." My target for this operation is not the U.S. market, but other countries. I plan to use offshore companies to avoid Wall Street's attention and short the target country in advance. ”

Link listened to him speak in general terms, not even about that country. But he believed the other party's words. As Furlen said, Neil is a man who is so proud that he doesn't care to lie.

But he wants more protection. He asked, "Why are you so confident?"

"I overheard the news when I was still with them. Their plans were based on the political machinations of the Federation. Politically, the Confederation will soon be able to complete its layout. As soon as the political layout is completed, the Wall Street cocktail party will be dispatched immediately. ”

When Link heard him say that, he first thought of a possibility, saying, "Asia?"

Neil seemed surprised, nodded and said, "Asia has become more and more a brokerage community, and if Asia is allowed to develop like this, the United States will completely lose its advantage over Asia." So they're going to slow down the development of Asia. You know the turmoil of the economy, and it is easy to create geopolitical tensions. There are now three large economies in Asia. China, the United States cannot shake their foundation in the real sense. Brokerage in South Asia is growing rapidly, but it is far from being international. ”

Link wanted to nod and say, "So they're going to choose the chicken plate?"

"That's right. Due to geographical restrictions, most of their domestic industrial industries have been transferred to foreign countries. In recent years, in order to compete with China, the investment in foreign countries has been very large. But the country's own resilience is not strong. According to the temperament of the chicken plate people, once they have trouble at home, they will definitely withdraw funds from foreign countries. Wall Street can set off a chain reaction there. ”

Link frowned and thought about it for a while, thinking that the situation was really as he said. He looked up at Neil and asked, "So how much money do you need?"

"At least $1.5 billion. I charge a 20% fee when settling my earnings. If the action goes well, you can still get more than 50% of the income after deducting the operating fee from this investment. ”

Link thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that there were a few oil wells holding up there, and even if he took out 1.5 billion, even if it was a loss, it would not have much impact on his plan. He can afford to lose.

He finally said, "I can invest you 1.5 billion dollars." However, after completing this operation, all my funds were redeemed. ”

Neil finally smiled and said, "No problem. But I'd like you to transfer the funds to that company's secret account, and of course, I'll sign a contract with you in my name. Your conditions can be set out in the contract. ”

Neil can't take all of the Gadde's money out. Now Wall Street is very hostile to him, and he can't let Wall Street notice that he is doing something. So, he can only transfer $200 million out of Geddes at most. $200 million is far from a guarantee that he will be able to accomplish his plan. So he needs to find someone to invest.

He can get a fee on this investment, and at the same time, he can get a higher return on his $200 million. But most importantly, he needs to make a big move to get himself back in the spotlight on Wall Street.

After seeing off Flon and Neil, the manor finally calmed down completely. Jessica returned to California overnight in a G650 in Rilink's G650 after dinner, and she had to complete the process of changing the company's name and changing the company as soon as possible.

But when she returned to Sacramento, she went straight from the airport to her parents' home.

Today is a holiday, even if Florin wants to work overtime, but without an experimental assistant, he has to rest.

When Mrs. Benis opened the door, she was a little surprised to see her daughter standing outside the door with her luggage in tow: "Baby, you just came back from Huazhou?"

"Yes, Mom! I just got off the plane. Jessica gave her mom a hug and smiled. "I had something I wanted to talk to my dad about, so I came. Is Daddy at home?"

"Your dad is in the study! ”

"I was just going to talk to him about the lab. I'll go to the study first. ”

Mrs. Benis watched her go upstairs and said in the back, "You will sleep here tonight, and I will clean up your room." ”

"Thank you, Mom. Before she could finish speaking, Jessica went upstairs.

Florin was disturbed by the front door, and he looked up just in time to see Jessica poking her head through the crack in the door. He smiled and said, "You make me feel like that teenage girl back then!"

Jessica walked in grinning, and said as she closed the door, "That means I can be as cute as a teenage girl once in a while!"

Walked over to the desk and sat down, and said, "Dad." Have you decided on the focus of the lab's work in the next few months?"

When Florin heard her say this, she understood that her daughter had something to talk to him about at work. He put down his work and asked, "It's almost decided." But why do you ask? Is it because the work of the company needs the cooperation of the laboratory?"

"Yes. Jessica nodded heavily. "The company needs to produce results in the research of high-yield genes of crops as soon as possible, and in addition, the biological pathogens of their pests and diseases should also produce results as soon as possible. Isn't Link a big new investment? Can you tilt your money toward this area?"

Florin thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case." I think no problem. ”

Floring was not a management specialist, and he was now even looking for someone who was familiar with the logistics of the institute to run the laboratory. That way, he doesn't have to worry about the administrative and logistical work of the lab and can concentrate on the experiment. This also makes him basically not care about the operation of the company. Jessica manages the company, and now asks him for it, and the only thing he thinks about is how to cooperate.

He thought for a while and said, "The current research resources of the laboratory are mainly focused on the study of high-yield genes of four crops. The other is the study of the division control of specific pathogens. I'm planning to recruit a new group of researchers. Personnel will be ready within two weeks, and equipment will arrive within half a month at the latest. I'm going to focus on the two areas that you mentioned in the research direction of new people and new equipment. ”

Jessica jumped up and smiled and walked around the desk, gave Florin a hug, and said, "Thank you Daddy!

The company tilts its resources to the maximum extent of the technology that Link needs, which is Jessica's support for Link. If she still can't produce results as soon as possible, she also tried her best.

In research, money does accelerate the speed of results, but it is not a decisive factor. They have high requirements for research results. If the results come out, but they still don't meet their requirements, they can't do anything. That's what Link has to do, that's what she can help with in terms of technology.

After Link moved to Washington, it didn't take long for him to fly back to Las Vegas. He was going to prepare for the ceremony of the official operation of Hans's low-rent apartment.

Low-rent apartment projects have long been well-known in Las Vegas. A month ago, while the low-rent apartment was still under renovation, the condominium's management team had been working with the Las Vegas civil administration agency to review the applications received.

According to the constitution that Martha has drawn up. Families applying to live in a low-rent apartment must meet three basic conditions at the same time.

First, no one in the family has a stable job. Second, the total monthly household income does not exceed $1,500. Thirdly, there are children under the age of 12 in the family members.

Low-cost apartments cost only $10 per month for rent. Provide a certain amount of food for each family. Provide some medical coverage for children. However, residents are also required to undertake a certain range of cleaning work. And comply with the management system of the apartment. These things are listed in detail on the application for occupancy.

At the same time, the lease automatically expires when the conditions of the family no longer meet any of the three basic conditions at the same time. Residents are required to vacate the low-cost apartments within one month.

The charter also stipulates that each household can only rent for a maximum of three consecutive years. Eligibility is reviewed every six months. After the three-year period, except in exceptional circumstances, such as in families where the adult member is unable to work, he or she may receive additional support and may continue to live until at least one member of the family has a stable income. or single-mother families, they can apply for an extension.

The low-rent apartment management system they have formulated has deliberately caused considerable inconvenience to the residents.

First of all, residents who stay in the compound are not allowed to stay overnight, visitors must register to enter and exit the compound, and they must leave by 10pm. The doors of the apartment close after 10 o'clock and you need to bring your resident ID to enter and exit.

Each household is provided with water and electricity free of charge according to the number of people, and any excess must be paid in full at the market price for the current month, and if there is a surplus in the month, the savings will be added to the next month's children's food supply.

Air-conditioning is provided when the temperature is above 29 degrees Celsius and heating is provided when it is below 8 degrees Celsius.

Each household must ensure that the interior is clean, and the cleaning of the compound, walkways and stairs is done on a rotational basis. It is also stipulated that no loud noises should be made.
