Chapter Ninety-Nine: Monopoly Position

Lei Gonglu looked at Chen Yi and asked, "How did you think of these two questions?" ”

A simple stream of gossip can go where it goes.

Chen Yi's problem is a problem encountered in reality. Especially the latter question, how to take advantage of the monopoly position, that is almost a book.

As a well-known professor at Jiangning University, Lei Gonglu naturally studied this, but he didn't want to waste time on an ordinary student, so he asked this question.

Chen Yi was a little difficult to answer.

However, he has his own way.

Picking up a piece of chalk in his hand, he wrote on the blackboard, "Professor Lei, suppose I have a company now, the current capital is about 30 million US dollars, through bank leverage, to ensure a capital of 1 billion US dollars, to have a supercomputer, excellent computing ability, occupy a monopoly position, this situation should be very advantageous." ”

"Of course, a monopoly position is best suited for market participants." Lei Gonglu watched him act.

Chen Yi smiled and said: "But in this case, I can't actually make money, how to solve it." ”

"The cost of my supercomputer is $1 billion, the annual maintenance cost is between $5 and $1 billion, and the share of the exchange is $500,000 a day...... What to do? ”

"If you give money to the exchange, it's a flash trade."

"Yes, I'm always confused." Chen Yi smiled.

He doesn't have to give money to the exchange, he relies on the computer's surname to be superior, but for Wall Street brokers, giving money to the exchange is a better choice.

Because they put their own computers inside the exchange and connected them in parallel with their supercomputers, the physical distance is shortened, and the time saved is about one hundredth of a second. It is cost-effective both from a competitive point of view and from a cost-saving point of view.

But it is impossible for the "Kraken" to be connected in parallel with the New York Stock Exchange, Chen Yi simply gave up this thought, anyway, its current speed is still enough.

In the first half of the year, when the new supercomputers of brokerages join the competition, we will talk about it then.

Lei Gonglu held the lesson plan, pondered for a moment, and said: "The situation you said may indeed occur, but no institution will use such an expensive supercomputer now......"

"Only such a good supercomputer can create a monopoly and avoid the competition of evil surnames." Chen Yi boldly interrupted the professor's words and said, "Assuming that the high-frequency trading and lightning trading of the New York Stock Exchange are monopolized by it, then the income will be several times that of ordinary supercomputers, isn't it?" ”

Lei Gonglu laughed all of a sudden, and said, "You student has some meaning, the situation you said is really happening, what's your name?" ”

"Chen Yi."

"Well, yes, I have to come to class often."

The good students gathered around the podium, and the saliva of envy was about to flow to the crotch of their pants.

Lei Gonglu then smiled: "Now on Wall Street in the United States, there is a company called Jinyuan International, which is doing similar things, you can pay attention to it." We continue to say that the profit model of the monopoly position ......"

He is admitting that Chen Yi has the right to waste his time.

The latter had a strange expression, some proud, some shocked, some funny.

He is not worried about the exposure that he is the owner of Jinyuan International, and a small Wall Street company is far less conspicuous than his status as the third heir to the Chen Group.

Outside of New York, at least, it is not enough of a cause for concern.

In addition, the Vatican Holy See, or some secret organization, can use its powerful influence to obtain its own information, and ordinary people do not have this capital.

"In a simple way, monopoly prices are the main means of obtaining monopoly profits, and this should be remembered first." Lei Gonglu's voice seemed to come from afar.

Chen Yi trembled, listened attentively, and said very quickly: "But high-frequency traders don't seem to be able to specify monopoly prices. ”

Lei Gonglu bowed his head and said, "What about the cashback of the exchange?" ”

"What if you want a higher amount of cashback?" Chen Yi had already thought about this, and instantly denied: "25 cents is basically the highest price they can give, and if it is more, the exchange will definitely terminate the company's operation through various methods." ”

Without waiting for Lei Gonglu to say more, he said to himself: "In a short period of time, the New York Stock Exchange may not do this, after all, high-frequency trading can bring them many benefits." But after a long time, they will definitely support other traders, give them more preferential treatment and help, and then replace us, so that they will not fall into a business war, but will reduce profits? ”

"Commercial warfare should be the most rational war." Lei Gonglu commented and said with a smile: "Then what you have to do is to let other traders not replace their own strength and space at all, so as to obtain excess profits." Whether the exchange supports them or not, it does not affect the overall situation. Private companies in the United States are subject to the law, exchanges cannot go into battle shirtless, and they cannot discriminate against trading companies, and with these foundations, we can maintain a certain degree of monopoly, which in Western economics is called 'market power'."

Chen Yi continued to ask thoughtfully: "Then how to crack down on other traders?" ”

Professor Lei raised three fingers at first glance and said: "Technology monopoly, administrative monopoly, and market access formed by brand building." These are the three usual methods, if it were you, which would you use? ”

"Technology exclusivity?" Chen Yi asked. Brand building or something, the role in the financial market is average. The first thing that came to mind was more advanced computers.

Professor Lei shook his head with a smile and said, "Sure enough, I am still a young man, and I think technology is useful." Let me tell you, the easiest way is an administrative monopoly. ”

"Administrative monopoly? How does the United States have an administrative monopoly? Lin Yuan crossed over Chen Yi and asked first.

"Don't think too well of the United States, they still have politicians and bureaucracy." Professor Lei used the word "as it is", and said with a perfect smile: "You are still young, so you don't need to think about it so much, but any of you who has opened a company and done finance, never forget that the country will always be the largest monopoly." ”

He patted the lesson plan on his hand and said with a smile: "Political economy, although the economy determines politics, politics also guides the economy. When you go back, you can take a look at the cases in the library and on the Internet. ”

Chen Yi held his cheeks and continued to think, not even knowing that the green tea in the cup was cold.

Lin Yuan looked at him with great interest, and then looked at Han Jie.

She had a good impression of this girl who could make tea and looked very kind, so she asked, "Are you familiar with Chen Yi?" ”

"Familiar." Han Jie replied without hesitation.

"How often does he look like this?" Lin Yuan still used the gradual thinking she was good at, slowly approaching the goal.

Han Jie smiled and shook her head. She was actually a little confused, and she felt unfamiliar with Chen Yi's recent performance. However, she understands very well what the removal of the elders of the family means for the children of the family.

Chen Yi can cheer up, think hard, and work hard, which can be said to be the best.

There was a "jingle bell" class bell outside.

The footsteps in the aisle subsided.

Chen Yi woke up, didn't say anything, handed the cup to Han Jie, grabbed the phone and ran out.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but chase two steps, and when he saw that he had already started dialing the number, he stopped, and turned around, only to see Ren Yuan standing beside him.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh...... I just wanted to ask him about the party. Ren Yuan was a little unhappy, and establishing a comrade-in-arms bunk relationship with Liang Yu was his main job in the past month.

Chen Yi's inaction made his plan almost stalled.

Lin Yuan didn't have so much thought, left with a smile, and when he passed near Chen Yi, he heard him shouting into his mobile phone: "I don't care if you are familiar with it or not, find me someone in charge, isn't there anyone familiar with Wall Street?" What do they make money on. ”

In this regard, although Lin Yuan was a little curious, she didn't think of anything.

Could it be that a strange student in this class has something to do with Wall Street? Among the teachers at Jiang University, there are very few who can mix on Wall Street.

Han Jie was still waiting quietly in the distance, just like she had always done.

After a long time, Chen Yi came back with her mobile phone, and she immediately asked, "Do you want to help?" ”

"A little thing, I'm going to go to my grandfather's, and I'm going to skip school in the afternoon."

He didn't have the slightest psychological burden on absenteeism, and now he said that it was just to avoid Han Jie's empty trip, and the water in Yuquan Mountain was hot, but it was wasted.

"I'll send you there." Han Jie put the tea set into the bag carefully and said, "My car is parked in the underground garage, and it will take an hour at most." ”

Chen Yi thought about it, and the two came out together, and when they arrived at the garage, they saw that it was still the dazzling red Maserati.

"The ancients said that the fresh clothes and angry horses are like this." Chen Yi said with a smile, sat in the passenger seat, and said, "I must learn to drive next month." ”

Han Jie pursed her lips and smiled, did not speak, and drove seriously.

In about 40 minutes, Maserati made it all the way to the old house.

The French plane trees on the side of the road, old and tall, stand tall, like loyal guards. The scene of the once crowded city seems to still be in my memory.

Chen Yi knocked lightly.

Since retiring, Mr. Chen has paid great attention to the influence, and he only sees and meets on one or two weekends every month.

Fortunately, several grandchildren are not among them.

The housekeeper went out to greet him, then pulled Chen Yi and said as he walked: "Is it a matter of the family or the company." ”

"My own."

"That's good." The housekeeper is a person who has followed the old man for many years and has been playing with Chen Yi since he was a child, and then said with a smile: "It's okay to chat with the old man more, are you busy going to college?" ”

"I skipped military training and lived a good life." Chen Yi laughed twice.

Walking through the living room decorated in the 90s, Chen Yi came to the backyard.

The old man sat under a big persimmon tree basking in the sun. He slowly shook the chair and beckoned, "Ah Yi is here, is Jiang Da okay?" ”

"Very good." Chen Yi knew that Jiangning University was the old man's favorite university, so he picked it up and said something, and then said, "I came this time to ask you some opinions." ”

"Oh?"

Chen Yi licked his lips, and then said the Jinyuan company he had established, the basic content was the same as that of his parents, and then said today's Lei Gonglu's answer, and asked: "I'm thinking, what kind of American politician can help me with administrative monopoly?" ”

It's not like many old people, Mr. Chen, but the people in China who know the world best.

……

In addition to the word count, state:

About the time of the subway: 1. The time background of this book is 2003, and there is no time and space travel.

2. Whether the protagonist is in Jiangning, New York or Paris, it is only a physical displacement, and there is no change in time, and it is due to the time difference during the same day.

3. In the Kingdom of San Chio, the reason why it can have a 3 to 4 times time increase is because of the long distance. According to the dolphin theory, it is as if the astronauts are flying to the distant Shenma system, and because the flight speed is very, very fast, close to the speed of light, the astronaut is in a slower flow of time. But as far as the entire cosmic system is concerned, there is no change.

For the same reason, Chen Yi will not grow old because of this.
