Chapter 172: Business is Hot (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes)
Why did Ji Sheng have to ask the housekeeper team to watch the house?
Because there is a special law in the beautiful country, or the vast majority of Western countries have such a law to a greater or lesser extent, which is called adverse usurpation.
What is adverse encroachment?
To put it simply, the purpose of this law is to punish some reckless owners who have their buildings or land occupied by a third party.
Generally speaking, there is an important element of adverse appropriation, which must be bona fide possession to be effective.
But there is something special about the beautiful country, if you knock on the door outside the house and no one answers, take out the video equipment and make sure that the house is unoccupied again, you can live there, at first this behavior is considered trespassing, but when you live in it for a certain time, then the house can belong to you.
For example, in New York State, where Ji Sheng is located, as long as it has been used for five consecutive years, he can apply for real estate rights.
Some people may ask, will the occupant be evicted when the original owner of the house comes back during the move-in?
The answer is that even if the original owner returns, there is nothing to do with the occupier, because many intruders will produce documents alleging that they have purchased or rented the property, and then the legal owner can only evict the occupant after a certain period of time by proving that he is the legal owner of the property through the court eviction process.
But often this procedure can take three months or even half a year.
Ji Sheng's business is between the beautiful country and Huaxia, and he will definitely have to run at both ends often in the future, if such a situation happens, he can ask someone to deal with it, but the question is whether he still wants to live? Who knows what will happen to those strange intruders before the eviction?
It's possible to be killed at night.
Ji Sheng was too lazy to deal with these troubles, and with the help of Rouse, he quickly found a professional team of housekeepers and signed a contract.
Then Ji Sheng asked the housekeeper team to add household items to the villa, and he moved in that night.
The next day, around seven o'clock in the morning.
Ji Sheng, who was sleeping soundly, heard the housekeeper's shout outside.
"Sir, it's time to get up."
Ji Sheng woke up leisurely and replied to the door, "Okay, thank you Michael." ”
Butler Michael. Baker answered, and the footsteps faded away.
Michael. Baker is a thirty-twelve-year-old young white man, a top student at a prestigious university, who has worked in a bank and is now well-known in the housekeeping industry.
When Ji Sheng got up and got dressed, he saw through the glass window that the gardener was pruning the olive trees.
He freshened up and went downstairs.
Several servants were already cleaning.
"Sir."
"Good morning, sir."
Greetings were received one after another.
Ji Sheng responded one by one, came to the table, and as soon as he sat down, the cook and a servant used a small cart to push the breakfast to the table.
The maid also thoughtfully put a few newspapers next to Ji Sheng's left hand, and gently reminded: "Sir, if there are any special newspapers and periodicals that need to be told to me, I will let the housekeeper order them." ”
"Okay, thanks."
Ji Sheng picked up the Wall Street Journal and watched the current news while enjoying an American breakfast.
These servants are not all full-time, to be more precise, they work in the enterprise, except for those who are on duty and will live here 24 hours a day, and the others will get off work and return to their own residences to live.
Oatmeal, fried eggs and toast are all made by the chef about fifteen minutes before Ji Sheng gets up, so that he will not eat cold when he comes down, and he can eat it as soon as possible, which is very intimate.
Ji Sheng lived the life of a rich man, and there was a kind of enjoyment in his heart.
After eating breakfast.
The driver was a brown guy, and he immediately came up and asked, "Sir, do you want to take you to work?" ”
"No, I'll drive myself." Ji Sheng stood up and waved his hand, and the maid on the side immediately handed over his coat, he took it casually and put it on his body, and then said to the housekeeper not far away: "Michael, I will buy me a Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn II and two cheaper family cars later, the money will be withdrawn from the family account, and I will put 500,000 yuan in it." ”
"Yes, sir." Michael. Baker agreed.
It is impossible for him to drive to work by himself in the future, and the supercar is not too comfortable to drive, so he always has to buy some other cars, such as the Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn II is not expensive, less than 120,000 US dollars, and the average family car is only 20,000 US dollars, plus 200,000 yuan can not be spent.
……
drove a Ferrari out of the mansion.
In the envious eyes of others, Ji Sheng stopped at the newsstand and shouted over there: "Is there the latest issue of Fortune magazine?" ”
"Yes, sir." The boss came over with a magazine and handed it over.
Ji Sheng took it and paid, "Thank you, old Frank." ”
"You're welcome." Old Frank smiled.
The boss is a white man in his sixties with a scruffy beard, and Ji Sheng heard Rouse call the other party old Frank yesterday, so he knew what the other party's name was.
Ji Sheng sat in the driver's seat and didn't move, opened the magazine and read it a little, and found that his interview was on the second page and a full page.
Title: "Oriental Silver Lion Becomes a New Upstart in the Futures Market, Winning Hundreds of Millions!" 》。
Subtitle: "Huajin Capital Boss's Investment and Entrepreneurial Experience, for Entrepreneurs".
Then here is a series of words from his interview the day before yesterday, of course, a lot of nonsense has been cut out, and only the essence is retained.
Among them, Ji Sheng's plagiarism of Ma Yun's sentence "Today is cruel, tomorrow is even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but the vast majority of people die tomorrow night" is marked in bold.
Ji Sheng glanced at it slightly, he was not interested in the content, he just wanted to make sure that it was not published.
After confirming it, he secretly thought: "The influence of Fortune magazine is quite large, and it should bring a certain amount of business to the company, right?" ”
Thinking about it, Ji Sheng started the car again and went to the company.
……
Bite.
The elevator arrived.
Ji Sheng walked in with Fortune magazine, and before he could walk in, he saw that the employees who had just gone to work inside were busy.
Will, a black stockbroker near the door, was holding the microphone between his shoulders, recording something in his hands, "...... Don't worry, Mr. Joel, I'll buy you 10,000 soybeans right away. ”
Ji Sheng knew that he was buying futures when he heard it, but what surprised him was that this customer actually bought 10,000 US dollars, you must know that there are not many people who can take 10,000 US dollars casually now, and this customer is definitely an elite.
It's even busier inside.
"Mrs. Harris, you want to short industrial stocks?"
"My dear Robertson, long time no see, do you want to buy some futures today?"
"Personally, I think it's better to have fewer airline stocks, there was an aviation accident some time ago, although airline stocks have recovered slightly recently, but it is said that Citibank and Chase Bank are plotting to buy United Airlines, buy something else."
"Junk bonds are not worth investing in, it is better to buy futures to be stable."
"MGM bonds? Man, are you crazy, you dare to trust their bonds in the financial reports of MGM? ”
This group of employees was so busy that they didn't pay attention to Ji Sheng's arrival at all.
He walked through the busy public office area, listening to employees recommend stocks, bonds, futures and other information to customers.
I have to say that some of these salesmen are still very capable.
For example, the white guy who doesn't recommend customers to buy MGM bonds is very well analyzed.
Ji Sheng had seen information about the outbreak of the 89-year-old bond problem at MGM in the modern society, and it seemed that at the end of August, MGM announced that it could not pay nearly $1 billion in bond interest, thus causing a crisis in the junk bond market.
Ji Sheng continued to come to the office.
Before I walked in, I just finished talking to a customer in the hallway. When White saw Ji Sheng's arrival, he said excitedly: "Boss, you are a god!" ”
Ji Sheng was full of question marks: "What? ”
Steve. White said: "I knew a big client before, and after I came here, I always wanted to bring him over, but he disliked that Huajin Capital was a new company. No, guess what? ”
Ji Sheng faintly counted in his heart, but still asked, "What?" ”
Steve. White laughed, "He read Fortune magazine this morning, and saw that the words Huajin Capital were a little familiar, and immediately called me to confirm whether it was our company, and then said that I have long admired the boss of your name, and everything to buy securities and futures in the future is in our company, and this time I placed millions of orders!" ”
Ji Sheng didn't have time to answer.
Next to Sophia. Green came out of the office and said excitedly: "Boss, there is a company that is about to go public and is offering shares to the public, and he took the initiative to call me and ask if we are interested." ”
Ji Sheng was stunned for a moment and said, "There are still people who send us money for nothing?" ”
A public offering generally refers to the first time a company sells its shares to the public, and such new shares can generally make money, which is no different from picking up money for nothing.
Sofia. Green grinned and said: "Of course they are not giving us money for nothing, but they want to rub your popularity and make the stock price rise, who made you on the Wall Street Journal and Fortune magazine again?" ”
Ji Sheng understood as soon as he heard it, he had just made a lot of money in crude oil futures, if he bought the shares of this public offering company now, it would make the outside world think that he was very optimistic, and a successful investor's optimistic stock can certainly give shareholders a boost, it can be said that Ji Sheng's purchase of this company's shares is a win-win situation.
"Well, let's buy some then." Ji Sheng commanded casually.
Sofia. Green immediately said, "Okay, I'll negotiate with the other company how much to buy." ”
With that, she went back to the office.
Ji Sheng never imagined that he would have such a positive impact on the company when he appeared in Fortune magazine once, so that countless customers took the initiative to come to the door, and some companies were willing to take the initiative to ask Huajin Capital to buy shares in the public offering.
I have to say that the celebrity effect in the financial circle is too important.
Ji Sheng suddenly recalled that after Wang Duoyu and Buffett had dinner in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the junk stocks he bought went crazy, and he still watched it as a joke at the time, but such a thing really happened to him, and he knew how incredible it was.
Hmm, if I establish a name like Warren Buffett, will the company's customers continue to come in the future?
It is very difficult for others to become stock gods.
But Ji Sheng thinks that as long as he collects a series of historical information with the help of modern society, he can definitely gain a prominent name in the stock market in a short period of time.
He thought he could give it a try.
Ji Sheng thought, Buffett, I'm sorry, your god buddy may be robbed.
