227, the reason for going to the United States (II)

Lunch was finished in silence, neither of them said anything, Li Chong was also hungry, or maybe St. Regis's steak was too delicious, Li Chong ordered another one after eating.

"Steven, let's handle the transfer agreement in the afternoon, and your entrusted administrator, Wright, will also come over later." Louis said as he watched Li Zhong finish eating the last steak in front of him.

As soon as Li Chong heard Wright, a somewhat obscene face suddenly flashed in his mind, and his memory instantly traveled back to 2002, when the four people in their villa had just graduated from college and were in high spirits, Li Chong said that he wanted to go back to South Korea to make movies, with his experience in Hollywood with multiple crews, it is estimated that he will soon become a film director when he goes back, and he will not return to New York if he does not have a decent movie; Wright is from the Department of Finance, and he plans to intern at his uncle's company on Wall Street, his uncle is an unknown head of private equity funds, but I heard Wright say that his uncle is definitely a person who hides his strength, and now everyone just hasn't found out; Jack is a genius in the computer department, he was already mixed in Silicon Valley before he graduated, and now he is the technical backbone of a small technology company, but this company has no name when they graduate, and the salary comes and goes, but Jack doesn't care at all, because the owner of this company is also a technology nerd like them, and the owner of this company is called Andy Rubin; The last member is also Asian, but he is Taiwanese, surnamed Cai, called Cai Baoming, he is from the acting department, handsome, very feminine, and very bold, and the family should be very rich, because Li Chong They have never seen him lack money.

At the beginning, the four of them had a crazy time, when Wright made millions of dollars with Li Chong's money, they went crazy in Las Vegas for three days, but after three days, they found that the original million assets were now a pile of paper, and the Internet technology stocks in their hands became worthless, if it wasn't for Cai Baoming calling to move the rescuers, they would almost have to buy ass in Las Vegas.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Chong's mouth had already begun to curl, and he couldn't wait to see Wright, "Okay, Louis, then let's go!" ”

Wright had already had three cups of coffee, but he wanted a fourth by this time. When he was in school, Wright had the best relationship with Li Chong, Li Chong was the first person in the villa to make his own money, and he made a lot of money, while Wright had an obsessive interest in investing at that time, although he himself was in the finance department. Wright always wanted Li Chong to hand over the money he earned to him to take care of, and even "humiliated" to help Li Chong wash his socks in exchange for Li Chong's favor, but Li Chong couldn't stand Wright's dead face in the end, so he still agreed to give Wright $100,000 in his hand to take care of. At the beginning, Li Chong was afraid that Wright would mess up, so he signed a licensing agreement, authorizing Wright to only take care of assets below $300,000, and once the funds reached $300,000, they would be automatically frozen until Li Chong unfroze and authorized again.

In this way, Li Zhong handed over the $100,000 he saved from his part-time job to Wright to invest. In that era of the Internet, which is full of gold, Wright's eyes are still quite accurate, and the funds have doubled to $200,000 in less than a month, and after a period of time, they began to spend lavishly, and began endless parties, anyway, it is easy to make money, and the regular madness is a weekend, and when it comes to Monday, Wright will always find that the funds that have just earned more than 200,000 have dropped to below 200,000.

Intermittently for another three months, Wright finally increased the funds to $300,000, but at this time Li Chong went to an island to shoot a movie, Wright watched the assets of more than $300,000 shrank to 27 or 80,000, once and twice, and after three times, Wright couldn't stand this torment, before Li Chong went out to shoot again, Wright found Li Chong, "Steven, let's sign a high-amount authorization, I've been beaten down 300,000 three times, obviously it's making money, and you can make a profit by selling." , but because I don't have the authority to operate, I watched the dollar continue to decrease, and if I had this experience a few more times, I would collapse! ”

Li thought about it for a while, although he didn't understand finance, but he could still see the fund authorization records, and every time the funds were frozen, he would send him a text message, but there was no mobile phone signal at all where he went, and the external contact relied on satellite phones, and when he received the text message, it was basically half a month, and after a month, it was repeated several times. "Alright, alright, I see, Wright!"

Li Chong originally planned to sign a $5 million license, but in Wright's soft grinding bubble, he jokingly signed a $100 million license agreement, and Li Chong also added to it, assets of more than $1 million, Wright has a 10% commission, more than 5 million, there is 15%, if it exceeds 10 million, it is 20%, and the most is a 50% commission if it exceeds the authorized amount, that is, if this is more than 100 million dollars, Wright will get a $50 million commission. Of course, neither of them thought about the highest level, and Wright's ultimate goal was only to fight for $1 million, because he had not only Li Zhong's money but also his own money.

When authorization is no longer an obstacle to Wright's operation, when the market value of Internet companies has doubled, when Wright has devoted himself to it, Li Chong's assets have also begun to double, 300,000 is no longer an obstacle, 500,000 is not a dream, with Wright's investment in Internet stocks, Li Chong's assets suddenly reached 1.2 million US dollars, which was unimaginable to Li Chong before. Although the salary of Li Chongming's crew is very high, 1.2 million is equivalent to a year's income of a top photographer. So of course, Wright offered to go out for a big HIGH, he sold $200,000 in stock, and the four of them booked the fastest plane to fly directly to Las Vegas.

They fooled around in Las Vegas for three days, and when Wright came to his senses, the NASDAQ plummeted, and the stock in Lee's hand fell by dozens of cents, equivalent to a pile of waste paper. And their crazy bill for three days was as high as 250,000 US dollars, if Cai Baoming hadn't called for help, it is estimated that they would really not have come back.

After they were destitute overnight, Wright was completely depressed for a while, although Li Chong didn't say anything, but Wright always felt sorry for him, especially after seeing that Li Chong still kept the pile of Internet company stocks that were no different from waste paper. Li Chong's original words were "Keep it as a souvenir, and also remind you that the stock market is risky!" You'll have to do this sooner or later, and when you're at your best, you can look at this part of the stock in the corner, and maybe you'll be a little more sober. ”

So until they graduated, the stock was worthless, and the Internet company returned to private ownership in 2004, taking back the shares in circulation, and Li Chong's shares accounted for 30% of the company's shares, and Wright always remembered Li Chong's words at that time, so he did not sell the shares, and became a shareholder partner of the company.
