Chapter 399: Dividing the Spoils

“…… A total of about $6.4 billion was invested in the five exchanges, with an average cost of $34.27 and an average selling price of $51.93. Excluding costs such as interest transaction taxes, we made a total profit of more than $49.1 billion from this operation. Of course, this is pre-tax. ”

It's late at night, but it's still brightly lit in Neil's office. Link, Neil, and Claire are counting how much they've made in this market. Neil's team has just sold off the last lots of crude oil from other exchanges. And Claire has summed up all the gains.

Claire blushed and continued, "But we can keep taxes under 10 billion dollars. In other words, the final profit will reach more than $40 billion, which is an unprecedented success!"

Link had been mentally prepared for this gain. It's exciting, but he's still calm. "Keeping taxes under control at 10 billion dollars," he asked. How do you control it? Will it get into trouble? You know, I'm not on the right path with the Federal Tax Service. ”

"There will be no trouble, capital gains are already low, and we mainly need to deal with business tax. I'm not going to be overtly evasive, and I'm not going to let people get caught. Although Claire likes money, he also knows that he and Neil have a lot of eyes on him now. And now the company is Link's, but the operator is Neil. If something happens to the company because of taxes, it is Neil who suffers the most. "All the money will be transferred back to the account of the financial investment company tomorrow, and now we should think about how to distribute the money, how much to keep in the financial investment company, and how much to transfer back to the bank. ”

With such a large amount of money, Link also needs to consider how to allocate the money. He pondered for a moment and said, "For this money, we will first distribute it once according to our previous agreement." My plan is to take half of the profits out of the dividend. ”

He smiled and continued: "This Chaniel, you can get 20% of it in dry red. Another 2% will be used as a bonus for other traders. You don't have a problem with this, right?"

Neil thought for a moment and said, "Give 5% of my dividend to Claire." Without him, I wouldn't have had it so easy. "With 20 billion dividends, he can personally get 4 billion dollars. That's a lot. And in his team, no trader can get tens of millions, and there will definitely be no one who is not satisfied.

Link smiled and said, "If you insist, of course I'm okay with that." He paused and said. After the dividends, the $1.2 billion in profits originally invested by the financial investment company still remained in the financial investment company. The rest is returned to the bank along with the principal. Bank earnings, Claire, you take 2.5% of the dry red. ”

This time it's about Claire. He smiled and said, "In that case, Neil should leave all the dividends to him." "They now owe a lot of debt to other banks. He calculated that if Neil received a 20% dividend, he would not only be able to pay off all his debts, but he would also be able to buy options on most of the financial investment companies. And he has dividends from the bank, at least about $750 million. I can pay off all my debts. And he negotiated with the creditor to repay it in three years, so he still has a sum of money to buy options.

Neil shook his head and said, "Link, Claire, in addition to being the president of the bank, also holds the position of a financial investment company. ”

Link knew he was fighting for Claire's benefit.

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay." Another 2% of the total income is used as Claire's approach, and the bank's income is still distributed according to the agreement. ”

Neil is happy with this. Although 2% is not much, it is not a lot.

He looked Link in the eye and said, "After the dividend, I hope to buy some of the options." ”

Link had long thought he would bring this up. He wouldn't object, that's what he said before. He nodded and said, "Yes." You first evaluate the assets of the financial investment company after the funds are distributed, and we are operating in accordance with the previous agreement. ”

He turned to Claire and said, "That's what the bank's options do." You don't have a problem. ”

After seeing that both of them had no opinion. He added, "But I have to make it clear to you." This is only one time. "The way he paid out the dividends just now was not conventional.

It's not that he doesn't understand, it's because he needs someone like Neil.

This operation proves that Neil has an excellent sense of touch in the financial market and has become a truly mature trader. He didn't want to make the other party dissatisfied because of the uneven distribution of benefits.

According to the convention, those earnings should be returned to the bank first, and the bank and the financial investment company should pay dividends. But this time the benefits are too huge. The main credit for this operation goes to Neil. If he pays dividends in the usual way, he will appear too greedy.

Moreover, with this dividend, Neil and Claire will have enough funds to buy some or even all of the company's options, and only in this way can they truly share his heart.

If they can't be on their own, the two of them could go it alone again at any time.

Of course, he also has to make it clear: this time is a special case!

Neil and Claire smiled and nodded. Claire said, "We know what you mean!"

Neil received $4 billion, and the assets of the financial investment company will become about $7.5 billion after dividends. After paying off the bank debt, there is still 30% of the options left to buy the financial investment company. The assets of financial investment companies will increase to nearly 10 billion.

Claire can also get more than a billion, and she can also pay off all her debts, and at the same time she can also get options from Ozette Bank.

From then on, they didn't work for Link completely.

And for Link personally, since the bank wants dividends. The bank's "investment" this time yielded more than $30 billion. He will take 97.5 percent of the dividends with half of the dividends, and his personal funds will once again increase to more than $15 billion. Only this time he can no longer inject money into the bank. Because that would make Claire's options more expensive. After Claire took a stake in the bank, he could no longer inject private money into the bank at will.

And the amount of its own funds will suddenly increase to more than $24 billion.

Link said to Claire, "We're well banked right now. You arrange for the repayment of the two billion dollars you borrowed from Furlen as soon as possible. ”

Claire smiled and said, "Okay." Although he will definitely not be short of money now. But we are not short either. ”

Flann's side and Neil are almost operating simultaneously, although the investment is not as much as the financial investment company's side, but there are nearly two billion dollars, and now it should have been completed, and there may be nearly two billion dollars in income. So he said that Fren was not short of money, and he was really right.

They all happily share their dividends here. And Wall Street is gnashing its teeth at them.

Yes, Neil and Fren's operation, most of the sell orders that were sold were eaten by those retail investors. Those funds do not have substantial losses for the time being. However, the cost of buying spot crude oil and making various portfolio investments cannot be calculated. They also took great pains to create a market atmosphere in which crude oil futures were going to skyrocket, so that someone would take them over.

And now Neil and Furlen have done almost nothing, just put their money into the market, and now they are eating the cake first. Now those retail investors are opening positions at such a price, which makes them very uncomfortable. And these retail investors were supposed to be their pick-up heroes. Now snatched by Neil and Fren. Not to mention that they have nearly 100 billion dollars less receivers, it means that they have to raise the price of oil even higher in order to sell all the orders in their hands. And once again, there are 100 billion dollars more in the market waiting to sit back and enjoy it.

What makes them most resentful is that Neil and Fren have done nothing, and will get more than all of them, and they have already got their hands on it.

Now they have a really high paper profit on these funds. But when closing the position, some of the moisture will also be squeezed out. In the end, a large number of traders also have to share a large amount of profits. If they can get 30% of the final proceeds, it's worth celebrating for a few days.

And Neil and Fren, they reckon the two big rats are already exhausted. How does this make them not jealous?

Flon is on Wall Street and can feel the hostility very clearly. But he didn't care. After working during the day, he finally saw the company's final gains in this crude oil market.

Even if he is used to seeing the world, he still can't help but grin silly when he sees this number. Neil is indeed the fox of Wall Street. This sense of smell is really not covered. Not only was it aware of the changes on Wall Street, but it also accurately judged the closing price. He was on Wall Street and knew more about the atmosphere on Wall Street than Neil was right now.

Now Wall Street has begun to worry that crude oil prices are unsustainable.

The media is advertising that the price of oil will be $80, $100. Now there are even claims that it will reach a maximum of one hundred and twenty dollars.

But now the investor information channel is not as closed as before. As the U.S. declines, more and more investors are noticing that the U.S. economy is also vulnerable to other countries. They began to learn to follow the financial news internationally.

Therefore, real investors will not be easily deceived by the public opinion manipulated by Wall Street. It's just the small retail investors who have been deceived. However, the strength of that part of the retail market was not able to support the continued rise of crude oil prices.

Wall Street can only continue to push oil prices higher on its own in order to attract more speculators to take over. Now, while more and more money is sitting back and waiting for oil prices to rise, and the profits of Wall Street funds are being diluted, they have to go on. At the same time, there is also the fear that the other conspirators will suddenly withdraw. He almost felt this kind of discomfort.

He looked at the income statement for a while, and he also had a bottom of the arrangement of this income in his heart. He picked up the phone, dialed Link's number and said with a smile, "Link, when are you free, come to New York?"

Link smiled and said, "Would you like to invite me to champagne?"

He laughed and said, "Yes." Don't you think we should have a drink? And we think there's a bit of a talk about what's next for Stoll. ”

Link doesn't really want to leave Ozette right now: "I'm a little busy right now, can't I talk on the phone?"

Now that the company has made so much money, he plans to divide the spoils first. This needs to be talked to Link in detail: "I want to ask, do you have money and don't want it?"

Link smiled and said, "Okay. I'll go over today. ”
