Flon Pitt meant that he wanted Link to be a partner in a responsible shareholding style.

Link was unprepared for his demands. He frowned and said, "I need to think about it, Fren." ”

Instead of persuading as he had sought funds, Flon nodded and said, "Yes, you have to think about it seriously." Because it is not possible to have the current rate of return in the future. And the possibility of losing money will be high. ”

Being watched by those predators, it will be more difficult for him to steal chickens in the future. Therefore, most of the time, he can only operate the stocks of some large enterprises that are not easy to control and cannot be delisted. But it is extremely difficult for such stocks to have much of a market.

Flon didn't bring up the topic since. Instead, he and Link spit out the traffic situation in New York.

New York's public transportation is inherently bad. In addition, there was snow, the road was slippery, and the car drove very slowly.

By the time they arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in the Financial District, it had been nearly two hours later. Link checked into the hotel, and Flon pulled a bottle of red wine directly from the suite's wine cabinet and said, "Now you know that there are at least twelve hours of rush hour traffic a day in the heart of New York. ”

Link smiled and took the wine he handed over and said, "It makes me feel like I'm going to California from Nevada." Maybe I made the right choice. If you live in New York, at least a tenth of your time is wasted on the road. ”

Furren said seriously, "Your estimate is too conservative!"

After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Tonight, do you have any arrangements for yourself?" If not, maybe I can give you a taste of New York's nightlife. For us, it was part of heaven!"

"For example?"

Fren smiled heroically: "Everything a man wants." ”

Link wasn't keen on it, but he didn't deliberately refuse either. He also laughed and said, "I don't have any other friends in New York. ”

"Okay, then I'll entertain you tonight. Fren looked up at his watch and said. "Maybe tomorrow I'll invite you to visit the company. But now I'm leaving. ”

"OK!" Link stood up and shook his hand. "Thank you for picking me up today and making these arrangements for me. ”

After Flon left, the room fell silent. Link couldn't help but think about the suggestion that Fren had just made. Invested in Stoll Financial Consulting.

The financial industry in the United States has developed very maturely. On Wall Street alone, less than half a mile long, there are more than 2,000 financial institutions on both sides of the street. It's already very crowded. The predators have also divided the eggs of the entire Wall Street.

He didn't think he had the money to get into the business. The reason why predators are predators is indeed because they have enough money. Link seems to be rich. But his money is like a hair on a nine-headed cow compared to the consortium behind those big financial institutions.

The predators may not have much of their own assets, but most of them have one identity: bankers. The money in the bank is, in a sense, the money of these consortia.

Chase JPMorgan Group has more than a trillion dollars in deposits, more than $500 billion in investment banking assets, and more than $100 billion in securities operated by Futures Bank alone. And all this money can be shelled by those financial predators.

No matter how rich he is, how much can he have? There are only a few financial predators who have been able to develop at a high speed in recent decades. Even Warren Buffett and Soros, the predator, appeared after the adjustment of the US financial market after the stock market crash in the seventies. And the past few decades have been a critical moment for the reshuffling of the U.S. capital markets.

In the early 70s, American capital completely controlled American politics, and in the 80s, the superpredators appeared in Wall Street unscrupulously, and the American economy entered an era of rapid financial development in the next two decades.

After entering the 90s of the last century, there are almost no new financial predators, because the predators who have spread all over Wall Street do not welcome new predators.

Since then, there have indeed been countless business geniuses in New York, but there have never been young stock gods.

Because the entire financial market has been manipulated by predators. If there is a god of stocks, it can only appear with the permission of those predators.

Unless Link can build a consortium, it is impossible for him to fight his way to become the new predator on Wall Street, which values class, religion (and especially race). Because Wall Street represents the wealth of the United States, they have a total of tens of trillions of dollars in capital, and they can use the incarnation Ye Liangchen to snipe him in a hundred and one ways at any time.

And now Flon invites him into the pond of Wall Street, where the big predators gather.

He must admit that Fren is a trustworthy collaborator with outstanding ability and integrity. But sometimes, investment is not only based on ability, but also on integrity.

In this respect, he did not intend to accede to Fren's request to let him take a stake in Stoll.

But he felt that Fren seemed to have made up his mind to reject the predators' wooing. He didn't know if the other party was idealizing a lonely bet or relying on it.

He only knew that this might be his only chance to enter the world of Wall Street capital. If you miss it, you may not have that opportunity in the future.

The risks are only a few words, but they are very clear. As long as Flon rejects the olive branch of those predators, those predators will stare at him in the future. It will be very difficult for him to succeed in stealing chickens in the big market created by those predators as easily as he does now.

The returns are not as good as before, and there is even a high risk of bankruptcy. That's what Flon clearly describes as the risk of Stoll. So Flon himself planned to divest in Stoll.

Bankruptcy, that's a terrible word. But Link also seemed to understand what Fren meant. He doesn't need to put his entire net worth into it. It is only necessary to keep part of the earnings earned by Stoll this time in the company.

If that's the case, Link doesn't feel unacceptable. No investment is a guaranteed investment!

Come to think of it. He thought that maybe in the evening, he would be able to answer whether Fren was going to take a stake in Stoll.

Lincla opened the curtains and saw that it was snowing outside, and he looked very beautiful. But no matter how white the snow is, the dirtiness wrapped in it cannot be ignored. In such weather, maybe he won't have to go out until night.

The snow never stopped. Before seven o'clock in the evening, Furren arrived at the hotel. He walked in and said, "It's damn weather." The weather forecast says that the heavy snow will not stop until at least tomorrow, perhaps during the day after tomorrow. ”

Link poured him a cup of hot coffee and said, "Looks like I'm not here at the right time." ”

"Yes. Flon took a sip of half a cup of coffee and said. "If I could have left New York, I should have visited you. The weather in Las Vegas is certainly much better than it is here. ”

"In another week, maybe you'll be fine. ”

Flon shook his head and said, "Maybe it won't be a week." He finished his cup of coffee and said. "One more drink. ”

As Link poured him coffee, he said, "Someone else came to act as a lobbyist just now." They can't seem to wait a day. They want me to surrender to them right away. Maybe they thought I had threatened them, so they threatened me too. ”

Link put the coffee in front of him, sat down across from him again, and asked, "What do you mean? They sent you bullets?"

"They don't do anything like that. If they want to give you a bullet, they'll send it directly to you. Just like they did against Lincoln and Kennedy. He took a sip of his coffee and continued with a sneer. "They sent a friend of mine as a lobbyist. They want me to be able to move with them in this oil market. ”

Link listened, and felt that it wasn't a bad thing. He wondered, "Isn't that a good thing? Maybe we can get a higher profit because of it." "If we can act in tandem, we will be able to know where the crude oil market is going.

"Link, you know. We were originally a rat bin, and there were almost no additional costs in the process of this crude oil surge. If we act in tandem with them, they are likely to sacrifice our interests. If we show that we don't want to go along with them, they will even give us false news and then trap us in crude oil futures. If possible, they will even blame us for insider trading, and the news they give us is proof. Those are the methods they are used to. The SFA is more confident in the evidence they provide. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I've categorically rejected them. I scolded my former friend and kicked me out of my office. Yes, he used to be my best friend. But he became completely unrecognizable to me. He also opened his own securities company. Now he has become an echo worm, and everything is only from the capital predators. Back then, he dreamed of becoming a Wall Street rule-setter, just like me. ”

When he said this, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, I have changed too." I no longer wanted to be involved in making the rules of Wall Street, but I wanted to challenge someone on Wall Street, and he completely succumbed to the existing rules. ”

Link smiled and said, "Maybe you still have a chance to fulfill your dream." Warren Buffett also became a stock god at your age. ”

"The environment is completely different. Warren Buffett is truly an amazing investor. But you can see that the era he lived in was an era of political and economic reshuffle in the United States, and heroes emerged from troubled times. Then there was a decade-long boom in the United States, and that was the opportunity of that generation. And now no one can break the rules set by Wall Street. And the United States does not have the opportunity to develop rapidly in the past. ”

Link didn't study the U.S. economy that much. But he also feels that the U.S. economy is unlikely to have another long-term boom like the one of the last century. Today, unlike in the past, the United States in those years accumulated a large amount of technology in science and technology in the confrontation between the two hegemons. As soon as the Soviet Union fell, these technologies were used in civilian use.

Moreover, at that time, the United States was dominant, and it had just completed the domestic reshuffle, so it could calmly lay out the world. It can be said that it was the last madness of the United States. Today, China has risen, and the United States no longer has the same opportunity as it did in the nineties of the last century.

Now the United States is once again facing a reshuffle, but whether it is international or domestic, it is difficult to have the calmness of 30 years ago!
