Chapter 566: Super Cheat Machine
Li Zhiyang couldn't help but recall in his mind that in the past, on TV and movies, he often saw that there were such vaults under the banks of foreigners, and those vaults were stacked with mountains of gold and silver, or a lot of US dollars...
The thick concrete walls, plus the terrifying big iron gates, and the n more security measures.
The more Li Zhiyang thought about it, the more he felt that Simmons was going to take him to that place now, otherwise what would he do if he was so mysterious.
But he still felt quite strange, Bear Stearns wasn't finished? Could it be that they still left a lot of dollars, gold and so on? Unlikely?
Finally, I finally came to the front of a large iron gate that looked unusually thick, and the instruments in front of this large iron door looked quite cashy.
Where did Simmons check the iris, enter the code, and finally put the whole big hand on the instrument, and after a while, there were a few beeps, and then the big iron door slowly opened.
Li Zhiyang, who was standing behind Simmons, was also a little excited at this time, after all, he felt as if there was a scene, and an American blockbuster was about to be staged.
After the door slowly opened, Simmons turned around and smiled mysteriously at Li Zhiyang, and then said.
"Welcome to the heart of Wall Street's enduring thriving. ”
After speaking, he turned around and took the lead and walked in, Li Zhiyang was even more curious at this time, what is in this?
So he followed Simmons into this basement, and he felt a little stunned at first glance, the position where they appeared now, it felt like a platform on a high point, and below it was a huge platform space.
And in this platform space, neatly stacked, more than one person high, a group of six large computers, units. Li Zhiyang roughly wrote a book, and hit the mainframe computer like this, and it was filmed in several rows in total.
At the front of these matrix units, there are hundreds of large LCD screens.
Because Bear Stearns is now completely paralyzed, the computers here are not working, and there are no staff below, but the whole space here still gives people a very empty and shocking feeling.
Under the constant temperature controlled by the giant thermostatic air conditioner, although it is underground, it does not feel suffocating at all.
At this time, looking at these large-scale computer groups, Li Zhiyang was a little dumbfounded.
He often plays with computers, but his level, that is, the level of browsing the web and playing small games, such a large-scale computer group, he has seen it before, but that is in the news on TV.
In Li Zhiyang's original impression, these large-scale computer groups were all money-burning things, and they were all affordable for the country, so would he think that he could see such things with his own eyes here?
Raising his head again and looking at the ceiling, he saw that the special pipes for pipelines with a diameter of more than ten centimeters were staggered and horizontal, coupled with the huge computer group below, all of this made Li Zhiyang shocked inexplicably.
"This is the heart of Bear Stearns' headquarters, where you can get the first glimpse into financial, economic and political information from around the world. There will then be a financial professional who aggregates this information and hands it over to the data processor. ”
Simmons was very satisfied, and Li Zhiyang was stunned, and then he began to explain to Li Zhiyang.
"And those who process the data will aggregate all the information and hand it over to the analysts to do the calculations. Analysts estimate the possibilities, and then they use these superstar computers to model, calculate, add variable parameters, predict the market, and then provide operational advice to superiors, etc. ”
Simmons continued to explain to Li Zhiyang, and Li Zhiyang also had a feeling of sudden realization at this time, no wonder these bigwigs on Wall Street have been able to dominate the world like this for many years.
No wonder, people make more money and lose less money, it turns out that it's not just, simply relying on relationships and influence.
It turns out that there are so many technological elements in it
"Here, you can learn about the changes in the world's major stock markets anytime and anywhere, as well as the futures market, any commodity futures for bulk trading, oil and gas, electricity, crops, minerals, etc. ”
Simmons proudly introduced to Li Zhiyang, but Li Zhiyang has not made a sound, this mainframe computer is really too NB.
"Wait, Mr. Simmons, why is this mainframe computer so good?"
Li Zhiyang asked with some questions, since this computer is so NB, why doesn't Morgan take over? This is a good thing
"Haha, Mr. Li, don't mind what I say, in fact, such a mainframe computer, in any large financial institution, or investment bank, they have their own system. ”
Simmons's words, Li Zhiyang understood, it turned out that people didn't look down on these goods, it turned out that what Goldman Sachs, what Morgan Stanley, what Merrill Lynch, and Lehman's all had this thing in their basements
It seems that although Lao Mei has gone through so many tosses, there is a reason why she is standing tall on the throne of the world's No. 1
No matter what people do, this technology content is too big, no wonder our bank, in the eyes of others, is a joke character, people's homes, every family has such a nb of supercomputers, it is really too nb.
"So what about the computing power of this computer group?"
Li Zhiyang asked out again, he didn't want to be bluffed by these Yankees, after all, these things were indeed imposing when they were put here, but he couldn't let these Yankees fool him.
"I am very responsible to say, Mr. Li, the computing and deduction capabilities of this large-scale computer group are definitely within the top 30 in the world. ”
Simmons said to Li Zhiyang with a look of pride.
It is indeed a good thing, Li Zhiyang said to himself in his stomach.
"And with this thing, you can have the upper hand on any transaction you make on Wall Street. ”
Simmons said very vaguely, but this sentence confused Li Zhiyang, what does it mean? Will he have an advantage? With such a computer?
He turned around and glanced at James, who had been standing beside him just now and didn't speak, when he saw Li Zhiyang's eyes were very puzzled, so he moved to Li Zhiyang's side and explained to him in a whisper. "Zhiyang, you must know that many securities transactions on Wall Street are now electronic, and because of the emergence of the Internet, it has now expanded to the world, and there are many securities dealers who trade on the Internet at the same time in the U.S. stock market and futures market. Now, according to the data provided by the New York Stock Exchange, it is pointed out that customers around the world are basically able to complete a transaction in 0.6 seconds. But with this computer, you'll be able to complete a transaction in 0.3 seconds, or even less. Well the rest, you know ... ”
James's explanation was very quiet, but Li Zhiyang heard it clearly, I will go to it, I have a good feeling? I said, how can these big investment banks often achieve so-called success in one way or another?
Feelings: These guys are cheating, and such a giant computer is a super cheat
Although Li Zhiyang has not completed a transaction in person like a trader in the stock trading center, he knows the benefits of every transaction if you can be one step faster than your opponent
Just imagine if the stock has just been listed, if everyone is optimistic about the stock, they are going to chase up, but if you can be twice as fast as your opponent, you can eat more stocks, and you eat more goods than your opponent, the same is true when selling, in short, you will be one step faster than your opponent everywhere, and make more money
Especially when bidding, this thing is even more effective, you must know that the stock index futures market is changing rapidly, and within a few tenths of a second, it may be dozens of points or even greater fluctuations to jump out.
These tens or hundreds of points are millions of dollars
With such a big killer, isn't it a step ahead of other opponents?
It's no wonder these people make this place like a fortress, and they feel that there is such a super cheat hidden here
It's no wonder that the big investment banks that help the United States can call the wind and rain on Wall Street, and with such a big killer, in the bull market, they must definitely be one step ahead, eat more than others, and earn more ruthlessly
Li Zhiyang's eyes were already full of smiles at this time, and there were indeed a lot of good things in Bear Stearns' headquarters, no wonder James suggested that he buy this place
If you master this place, you will be able to compete with those predators on Wall Street in the future, and this is an excellent old nest
Simmons saw Li Zhiyang's expression in his eyes, and he was also very happy at this time, you must know that when he came over today, he was called over by several important people on the board of directors, and he said that this time the matter must be done.
And you must not offend the young man in front of you, you must know that this kid is now a popular fried chicken
And the most important thing is that it is best to finalize this deal this time, you must know that there are indeed many rich people in the world, but there are not many people who can come up with more than a billion dollars in cash at a time, especially in such an economic environment as now.
"And how is the electricity supplied here?"
Li Zhiyang asked again, what is done here is like a security fortress, but these computers all need power supply, and there are unforeseen circumstances, if there is a sudden power outage because of some natural disaster or something that day, then you have to finish the game here.
If you don't come to it like this, you will lose a lot
"Hehe, this Mr. Li, please rest assured, this is equipped with two sets of emergency power supply equipment, enough for the entire building, in the case of a sudden power outage, full load for two weeks, if it is half staff, or even lower usage, then those power equipment is enough to supply here for a month, or even longer. ”
Simmons explained to Li Zhiyang.
It turned out that there was a skirt building on the edge of this building, and when Li Zhiyang came, he didn't pay too much attention to it, but just below the ten-storey skirt building, there were two sets of diesel generator sets, which were ready to provide emergency power to this place when an accident occurred.
Every month there are large tanker trucks, and in the evenings, where the oil is rotated and filled
"Yes, that's very good. ”
After Li Zhiyang looked at the whole building, he made a simple comment, to be honest, he was indeed very satisfied with this place, and it was really great.
Whether it is the office facilities, or the decoration of the entire building, as well as the advanced level of equipment here, Li Zhiyang is now very satisfied with these things.
Simmons was also very happy when he heard this, and then clapped his hands, and after attracting the eyes of Li Zhiyang and James, he said with a smile.
"Okay, now Mr. Li and Mr. James, you've finished visiting here, so let's discuss the business now?"
"Okay, then let's talk about business. ”
Li Zhiyang said with a smile, Simmons didn't talk nonsense, and directly took Li Zhiyang and them to a very nice large meeting on the thirtieth floor, and after inviting the two of them to sit down, he asked his secretary to serve coffee and refreshments.
After everything was ready, he only left a secretary, and then cleared everyone else, and then walked to Li Zhiyang and sat down in front of them, he adjusted it slightly, and then began to speak.
"Mr. Li, as you know, this building was originally the headquarters of Bear Stearns, but now it has been taken over by our JPMorgan Chase, and you have also visited it, I want to say that as a building that is only a few years old, this building is very modern, and the design and layout of the office area are very reasonable, and the decoration is very new. If it weren't for you being our friend, we wouldn't have planned to sell this building, and you must know that Bear Stearns has left behind not a lot of high-quality assets. ”
Simmons began to talk eloquently, and from the meaning of his words, if it weren't for the fact that you were an acquaintance, we would never sell this building to you.
But when Li Zhiyang heard this, he was full of slander, what are you pretending to be? If you weren't in a hurry to ask for money, you wouldn't have sold here.
Now treat me as a friend, don't you want to stab me in the back of my friend?
Of course, at this time, Li Zhiyang didn't show it at all in his face, and still pretended to be very calm.
"Don't talk nonsense, just talk about your headquarters, what is the price for this building? ”
James is not welcome, after all, he is also a member of the Rockefeller family, but he is not the grace of the board of directors of JPMorgan Chase, the people on the board of directors of JPMorgan Chase are his various Allens
So he really didn't know how much JPMorgan Chase was going to offer for the building.
"Well, at the beginning of the construction of this building, we at Morgan had an estimate of this building. The building, after a very detailed assessment by our team of appraisers, came to the conclusion that it is now worth $1.3 billion. ”
Simmons almost always had a pause, but luckily he was slow to speak, and he was obviously embarrassed by his offer.
When Li Zhiyang heard this offer, he almost didn't spit out the coffee he had just drunk in his mouth, $1.3 billion?
The worst impact of the events between 01 and 02 was the smash hit Internet technology stocks in the United States before the new millennium
But after the bubble of online technology stocks was punctured, with Uncle Sam's successive victories on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq.
A large amount of money frantically poured into the real estate market in the United States, and at that time, it was generally believed that the United States had won the war again and controlled the second largest oil-producing country in the Middle East.
Then the American people will definitely enjoy the dividends of this war, and the Americans like to enjoy it the most, so the real estate market will definitely follow suit.
As a result, along with the predictions, I don't know if the real estate market is really as hot as those analysts think.
But just last year, Bear Stearns' two hedge funds lost money on the subordinated debt of real estate, and then several other major investment banks also delayed the negative news of the subordinated debt of real estate.
Now real estate subordinated debt products are already rotten on Wall Street, and the real estate market in the United States is even more in shambles.
And at this time, the guy from JPMorgan Chase dared to quote 1.3 billion yuan for this building in front of Li Zhiyang?
Are these people underestimating their own IQ? Do they really want to take the blame for themselves?
Do you really think that your money is blown by the wind?
It seems that Lao Mei is really the same as the people of the Celestial Empire, he likes not to kill if he is not familiar
You know, when they came, Li Zhiyang and James were still in the car to discuss the real estate market in the United States, and they had a valuation of many of these large buildings at that time.
After all, James has a dedicated team working on this.
The reason why James didn't want to come in this time was not because he didn't want to pay, but because he really couldn't come up with too much money now.
He made a lot of money with Li Zhiyang in the London stock market some time ago, but recently, he has also lost a lot of money in the US stock market.
You must know that he has been secretly doing the matter of subordinated debt products in the United States, and he has not dared to mention it to Li Zhiyang.
He has invested a lot of money in the Borg, the Renaissance Fund, and Goldman Sachs' Alpha Fund, plus the Fortress Fund, the four most prestigious funds in the United States.
But in the midst of this financial crisis, even Goldman Sachs' alpha has been planted, how good can the other funds be?
