Chapter Ninety-Five: The Stronghold

The Lower East Side of New York was originally an Irish settlement, and later Eastern and Southern Europeans came, and it became a gathering place for Jews. They brought delicious snacks and synagogues, and when they left, more Chinese and Latin Americans began to appear in the ghetto. The former lives mainly on the south side of the Lower East Side, and is also the main destination of Chen Yi's trip.

Real estate agents in New York are well-paid and have a more considerate service.

After hearing that he was going to buy paper, Mr. Green drove his Buick car and walked around the city with the two of them, not saying anything about the house at all.

He can sell a lot of houses every month, but he doesn't buy and sell many in Times Square, and he has a good grasp of it.

Compared with Jiangning, New York's paper market is much more advanced.

Chen Yi simply found a Chinese translator and said to him: "I want to use paper made of pure wood pulp, and the wood pulp must be made of a single type of wood, and the density of the wood is as large as possible, and the hardness is also as large as possible." As long as you find it, I will count you for a day's money. ”

This requirement is also the most likely selection method to produce scroll paper that has been excavated so far.

Basically, paper with a density of wood pulp above pine can reach the standard of scroll paper, and birch is comparable to it, so there is a high chance of low-grade scrolls. Occasionally, paper made of a small amount of oak wood tends to be prone to intermediate scrolls.

The translator was not familiar with the market, and asked for a long time without results.

It was still the real estate agent Mr. Da Lu who came out, and in two sentences he killed the bloody road among the paper dealers, and went straight to a few general suppliers.

Compared with Chen Yi's strange requests, there are all kinds of stranger requests in the world. Suppliers are used to this.

The businessman, dressed like a western cowboy, knocked his pipe with his boots and said with a smile: "As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy in New York, and the worst hard wood is used to make furniture and decoration materials, used to make paper, and the price is expensive." ”

"Give me a sample first."

The cowboy merchant smiled and shouted back, "Jack, take a few pieces of paper from West Africa." ”

"West Africa?"

"There's no furniture or finishes there." The merchant smiled slyly: "Their craftsmanship is backward, but the materials are definitely good." Whether it's pure or not, you can test it and talk about it. ”

In fact, he was not sure whether the paper was pure or not.

Although Africa has been in war for many years, it is unlucky to encounter a military disaster once in five years in a specific city. They still have time to do some simple construction, mostly to use various local resources to produce some ordinary products, if they can export to other countries in exchange for foreign exchange, it is the happiest thing.

As a result, American businessmen are often able to pick and choose from the finest raw materials at very low prices, but they are not much at market prices.

got a box of paper, Chen Yi got the other party's phone number, and he achieved today's goal.

That's it, Mr. Da Green looked at him expectantly and said, "Mr. Chen, then let's take a look at the house now?" ”

"Okay, I want a gourmet restaurant nearby. Also, let's find a restaurant with takeout first. ”

Hearing him say this, Emily immediately clapped her hands and said, "I'm going crazy with hunger, and I'm still wondering if you don't need to eat...... The figure is so well maintained. ”

She touched it without hesitation.

Chen Yi remained calm and unmoving.

When it comes to the art of temptation, Kim Doona's tricks are even more clever. The two of them have been in the same room for several days, and they really don't take much of the cheap, but their resistance has increased greatly.

"There are a few nice apartments on Houston Street, let's look at them first and then eat at a nearby restaurant, do you like Eastern European food?" Like, like it would be best, and then we will move on to Times Square, which is still a couple of hours before dinner, so there is plenty of time to ......"

In fact, Mr. Broker overestimated how picky Chen Yi was about the property.

Chen Yi was originally a house used as a base, and he didn't stay in it every day, so he only took a cursory look and made sure that there was a restaurant nearby that he could walk to, and he was satisfied.

Renting two apartments, plus buying a $4.7 million house, took only one and a half hours, one hour of which was spent on the road.

Da Lu, who received the money, suddenly began to worship the Chinese, just as they used to worship Western Europeans, Northern Europeans, Arabs, and themselves.

Seeing the real spending of money, and knowing that Chen Yi was about to leave, Emily had to regretfully leave her mobile phone number, and said: "I work on Fifth Avenue three days a week, and the next time I come, I will help you make tea." ”

She knew that Chen Yi liked to use the water she brought to make tea. At first, the hostesses had some trouble, but they quickly succumbed to the $20 bill.

Chen said with a smile: "No problem, if you come to China, I will also make tea for you." ”

"It's settled." The blonde laughed and bared her teeth, and looked at the big green with envy - he was not rich enough to attract such beautiful women.

Dragging a box and carrying a large bag of charcoal-grilled beef ribs from an Eastern European restaurant, Chen Yi returned to the subway.

The newly purchased paper was very eligible.

The mages of the Kingdom of Santa Chio found nearly 200 pieces of intermediate scroll paper in thousands of sheets of paper, and 12 pieces of high-level scroll paper were also the highest proportion obtained in the process of several round-trips.

Chen Yi calculated for a moment and said, "Roughly according to the standard this time, I will bring three times as many scroll materials in three to six days." ”

If you buy three or four large boxes of paper products at a time, you can expect to meet at least half of the quantity promised.

"Thank you, Master." Timothy was such a wise person, and immediately bowed down and said, "Some sect masters know that our mages are making scrolls at night, and we can set off within ten days." ”

"Good. That's the best, I'll go back first. Chen Yi nodded to the paladin, and continued to select some commonly used potions and green berries on the crystal screen, so that the subway slowly started.

Just a few minutes.

Chen Yi walked out of the Jiangning Binhe subway station.

At this time in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun has just turned at its smallest angle, and it is cloudy and bright, like a light bulb with insufficient wattage.

It took an hour to get back to school, and Chen Yi once again felt that there was too much time to waste.

But he can't do anything, learning to drive is not a one-day thing, if you use a driver, there are too many inconveniences.

Just thinking about it, there was a loud and refreshing laugh in front of him: "Isn't this Hercules, going to breakfast?" ”

"You woke up so early?" Chen Yi greeted the envious eyes of the students, took out a box of beef rib meat from the bento bag, confirmed that there was no label, and handed it to him: "The good things I bought, pure meat, try it." ”

"Meat, you're welcome." Da Meng is really not polite at all, and he grabbed it in his hand and gnawed it.

Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand and walked towards his dormitory.

At the same time, Wall Street's Jinyuan International began to exert its strength again.

Tang Xiongfei told Chen Yi in an uplifting tone: "We have got 400 times the leverage of Mellon Bank. ”

That's a truly terrifying number.

Chen Yi couldn't care about walking slowly, walked back to the dormitory quickly, turned on the computer while practicing the little sister, and said: "Control the risk, wait and see." ”

"Understood." Tang Xiongfei has some understanding of his boss's style, people are confused about small things, cautious about big things, and everything that is more than 5 million US dollars can be passed without asking for instructions.

This is actually Chen Congyu's style, which can be regarded as a subtle father-son inheritance.

The Chen family's business is simple, they don't have to think too much about business things, as long as they ensure that they are not stupid ideas, they can make money.

In contrast, controlling risk rather than reducing costs is something they pay more attention to.

Jin Doona was bored watching TV alone, heard the door ringing, and before she could speak to Chen Yi, she saw him running into the room, and couldn't help but pout, but she couldn't say anything.

Chen Yi once again determined the limit of the "Kraken" and the utilization rate of not being discovered, and then said to Tang Xiongfei: "The total capital is absolutely not allowed to exceed 1 billion US dollars, which must be reflected in the software setting, and everything else is as usual." ”

The latter agreed without the slightest objection, completely ignoring the objections of the company's traders.

In the eyes of employees, the more money invested, the higher the return, and the higher the proportion of their commission.

From 350 times leverage to 400 times leverage, it is a very high percentage, and the salary increases every month, which can completely change to a new car, rent a big house, and where did you think that it will be limited.

Tang Xiongfei didn't care about the two traders, and after confirming it, he informed Chen Yi before admonishing: "I know what you think, but Jinyuan International has its own style, and our market is rising, I hope you can seize the opportunity." ”

When it was over, he immediately said to his assistant: "Inform the interviewer that I have time in the afternoon." ”

The two traders finally understood the situation, but they did not dare to speak.

When they came to Jinyuan, it was still a small pudding company, and who knew that it would now become a future star in the limelight on Wall Street.

There are a lot of Haval kids, and Yale wants to hitchhike -- it's quite a good experience.

The two obviously care more about work than about commissions.

Chen Yi paid close attention to the situation of the "Kraken" and Wall Street.

Everything looks going well.

In addition to a stable high income, amazing.

$15 million a day, if all profitable, would make $3.75 billion in net income for 250 transactions a year -- not much different from the top investment banks in the United States.

The scary thing is that for Chen Yi, these are really pure income.

This is the glamorous Wall Street.

Someone is making a lot of money every minute, and in 2003, if it weren't for Golden Resources International, this huge amount of money that would have made it to the Forbes list would have belonged to global e-commerce companies, or would have been swallowed up by Goldman Sachs and Morgan.

Chen Yi slowly leaned back in the chair, and beat rhythmically with his right hand.

He is already considering whether to increase investment.

$200 million in cash can make waves at any point in the world.

There was a knock on the door again.

Kim Doona shouted, "Who is it? ”

There was a hesitant female voice outside the door: "I'm Lin Yuan, Chen Yi's squad leader, this is 2308." ”

Chen Yi rubbed his hair vigorously.
