Chapter 138: Wall Street

Miami Night of Passion Bar.

Located near Miami Beach.

The place is not big, only more than 600 square meters, and it was originally very lively, but now it has closed its doors.

Tommy took Lin Yi over, pointed to the bar with the door locked and said, "This was originally Senna's property, and the business was very good before, I just inquired, and they said that after Senna's death, this bar closed in a few days." ”

"As soon as Senna died, other gangsters came to make trouble, and the liquor suppliers also came to ask for money, and the manager in charge of the operation had no choice but to close the door, the place here was originally rented, and everyone ran away, and the owner came and locked the door directly."

"Senna liked it the most, he said he treated the bar like a wife, and Kent and I came twice to hang out at a biker party."

Lin Yixin said,

I came to Miami by myself, and the little wings flapped twice, which affected the fate of many people, if he didn't come, Senna probably wouldn't die, Marty was still struggling in the quagmire, and Tommy and Kent were still doing gangsters.

"Just rent here, Tommy, talk to the boss." Lin Yidao.

"Okay Jack."

Before Lin Yi left, he glanced at the bar again, thinking of Tommy saying that Senna treated this bar like a wife, and suddenly remembered a sentence from Boss Cao: After you die, your wife will be raised by me, and you should not worry about it.

The negotiation went smoothly.

The other party intends to rent, and the price given by Lin Yi is not low, so it will be negotiated quickly, and Marty will be responsible for the rest of the procedures.

The investment in this bar, an overseas company, belongs to foreign investment, as for who the overseas company registrant is, there are three or four layers behind, and it is very difficult to trace.

After the bar is finished, it has nothing to do with Lin Yi, Tommy will be one of the people in charge of the bar, Kent will also stay to help, Marty will be in charge of the accounts, and a bar manager will be hired to be responsible for the day-to-day operation.

Bars make money.

To be honest, Lin Yi doesn't care about this profit.

Many bars don't actually rely on turnover to make money, just like many tea shops and high-end clothing stores, they don't go in for many days, but they are still alive and well.

As for using him to launder money,

Lin Yi is not in a hurry, and he can operate slowly in the future.

The total cost is calculated, including store rent, renovation costs, operating equipment costs, first purchase costs, advertising costs, employee salaries, utilities and miscellaneous expenses, etc.

That's about $450,000 in total.

Lin Yi gave Marty more than one million dollars to register the company before, and when he left South Africa, he sold the house, and there was another 190,000 yuan in the account, which was more than enough to make a bar.

Marty and Tommy are expected to open in a month and a half.

Lin Yi was ready to go out.

Go to Dubai.

The plane flew to Dubai International Airport, and after getting off the plane, he took off his Jack mask and changed back to Lin Yi's appearance, and put on a simple makeup, and came to the gold acquisition company that had two transactions before.

"Hi, Amur."

Lin Yi greeted the boss Amr warmly.

"Hi Lin, you haven't been here for three months, and I've been wondering when you'll be able to come lately."

Amr hugged Lin Yi.

"How much gold has been brought this time."

"1.3 tons." Lin Yidao.

This 1.3 tons of gold was obtained by Lin Yi from the safe of the Mexican drug lord Del, unlike the gold minted by Lin Yi himself, Lin Yi didn't bother to mint it, and chose to sell it directly, anyway, his next actions also need legal funds.

"I knew you weren't going to let me down." Amr was very happy to hear the figure of 1.3 tons.

"By the way, Amur, do you have any familiar jewelry merchants?" Lin Yi asked.

"What do you want to sell?"

"South African diamonds, I have a batch of South African diamonds that I want to sell."

"Do you have a certificate?" Amr asked.

"Of course, there is a certificate of origin." Lin Yi said confidently.

Amr smiled, "That's easy, when we're done trading gold, I'll introduce you to a jewel merchant, you're my old friend, and he'll definitely get him to give you a good price." ”

Trading gold is simple.

Lin Yi drove the car, Amr asked him to measure the content and weigh it, and a set of processes was completed, and Lin Yi was paid immediately.

It's good to do business with the Arabs, and after everything is discussed, it will be very happy later, and 22 million US dollars will be transferred to Lin Yi's Swiss bank account.

This transaction is a normal transaction, and even if someone tracks it down, it will not find a problem.

After completing the deal here, Amr took Lin Yi to dinner, which was a little extravagant, grilled lamb chops, French Peron oysters, Canadian geoduck, bluefin tuna sashimi, and Alaskan king crab.

The two chatted Lin Yi asked Amur who he was mainly selling his gold to, whether it was a native or another Arab country, and Amur smiled, "I mainly sell it to India." ”

If Arab countries are the largest consumers of gold, then India is definitely ranked second, as for the third is China, but Lin Yi seems to have seen a set of arrays, in the following ten years, this ranking has changed a lot, China has become the world's largest consumer of gold jewelry, followed by India, Arab countries fell to the third.

Of course

It has a lot to do with population.

China has 1.4 billion, India has 1.3 billion, and the entire Arab country has 22 countries and regions, with a total population of only 340 million.

Afternoon

Amur took Lin Yi to a company located in Dubai's famous financial tower, which is also ranked in the top 10 in Dubai.

The other party's name is Hussein, in Arabic, Hussein means handsome, kind, and wise, and the person in front of him is indeed very handsome, looking like he is in his thirties, with a shallow beard and deep eye sockets, so it seems that his eyes are very deep.

When he saw Lin Yi, he looked at Lin Yi carefully several times, and then covered his eyes.

Lin Yi took out the diamond.

The other party sent two appraisers for identification.

This is a very delicate job, the value of a diamond, depends on many aspects, size, purity, color, flawless filament, etc., the industry standard is 4C, because each gram is different, so it needs to be inspected and priced one by one.

After several hours of work, the appraiser gave Hussein a very detailed form, and Hussein groaned after reading it, and said to Lin Yi: "I am willing to pay $22 million for this batch of diamonds." ”

Lin Yi looked for someone in South Africa before, and the value of this batch of diamonds should be about 21 million, he had already thought about the other party to reduce the price, and it was estimated that he could give 20 million or even 19 million, but he didn't expect that not only did he not press it, but he also mentioned some.

"Yes, I'm happy with the price." Lin Yi said with a smile.

The two sides shake hands.

The signing of the contract and the payment are still done in one go, and Lin Yi has an additional $22 million in another account.

"We have done such a big business, we should celebrate, and invite you to go to sea for yachting in the evening." Hussein invited.

"Okay, are there any beautiful women?" Amur asked with a smile.

"Of course, you can have it from any country you want." Hussein said with a smile.

At night

There were three men on the yacht, but there were more than a dozen beautiful women, all of them in bikinis with perfect figures, pink from light black to pink white.

On the deck of a yacht,

Hussein and Lin Yi lay side by side on the recliner, enjoying the night sea breeze, and the two chatted with cigars in their mouths.

From beauties to countries.

From jewellery to finance.

Lin Yi smiled and thanked Hussein for giving him a good price.

Hussein looked at Lin Yi and said, "Because I hate Americans." ”

Lin Yi was stunned.

Looking at the other party's eyes, I understand a little, this Hussein may have recognized himself, after all, he is not good at makeup, and someone who cares may be able to recognize him.

Lin Yi smiled at Hussein.

When Lin Yi left the next day, he exchanged contact information with Hussein, and Lin Yi said: "There is a chance to contact again, maybe we still have a chance to cooperate." ”

Lin Yi's next plan requires a lot of funds, and the two sides may really have a chance to cooperate.

"I'm looking forward to it." Hussein said.

......

Lin Yi left Dubai and did not return to Miami, he didn't have to worry about the bar, and now that he has money, Lin Yi is ready to start another thing that he has been planning for a long time.

The plane landed at New York International Airport, and Lin Yi took a taxi to Manhattan, and the first stop was the New York Stock Exchange.

Visitors can only look down through the second-floor glass, and in the hall, traders are busy, and on the large screen, stocks are shining red-green.

Lin Yi bought several books on stocks in the hall, such as "Stock Market Wizards: Interviews with American Stock Market Elites", "The Successful Practice and Mental Journey of the World's Outstanding Traders", "Memoirs of Stock Traders", and "Complete Records of Listed Companies".

After leaving the stock exchange, Lin Yi found a café nearby, found a good place to sit down, asked for coffee cakes, and began to read quietly.

Lin Yi in this world is studying finance, and he has a deep understanding of finance, much more than Lin Yi who has not crossed over, in fact, these knowledge memories are also a great benefit of crossing.

It may take half a lifetime for others to learn this knowledge, and he only needs to travel through a new character.

Cheat.

There is also Apple, there is Microsoft, there is also Amazon and Google, and there is Yahoo and Baidu.

But that's not what Lin Yi is concerned about.

Buy their stocks, put them for more than ten or twenty years, such as Amazon, it's absolutely no problem to multiply them twenty or thirty times, but that's not what Lin Yi is pursuing.

What he wants to see is the rapid expansion of the funds in his hands.

Is there a way?

Naturally, there is.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, when Lin Yi was watching a piece of news, he found that a company coincided with the name of a company that he had a very good impression of in his mind, and the name of this company was 'Tyco'.

Tyco is the world's largest manufacturer and service provider of electrical and electronic components, design, production, installation and service provider of submarine communication systems, the world's largest manufacturer, installer and supplier of fire protection systems and electronic safety services, and the largest manufacturer of flow control valves, and also occupies a dominant position in the fields of medical products, financing and leasing, plastics and adhesives, with operations in more than 100 countries and revenue of $40.2 billion in fiscal year 2004. It has more than 260,000 employees, a market capitalization of nearly $100 billion, and ranks 91st in the Global 500.

is a super large company.

Why did Lin Yi think of this company.

Because when he was in school in later life, he once read a book called "Top 10 Economic Fraud Cases in the United States".

One of them mentions Tyco.

Tyco's CEO and CFO conspired to commit financial fraud and divert hundreds of millions of dollars of the company's funds to spend and squander, which was staggering after the incident broke, and the stock price plummeted.

In this world, Lin Yi looks at the report, Tyco's CEO and financial director are still those two people, which means that the financial fraud and corruption scandals have not yet broken out, and Lin Yi's idea is very simple.

Since you're not broken.

Then I'll take the initiative to prick it for you.

Of course

In piercing the money short, it is definitely a normal operation, right, the money is reasonable and legal, absolutely clean, and it also eradicates the cancer for the people.

In Lin Yi's mind,

Such an example is not one.

When he flipped through the stock information in his hand, he saw several companies that had an impression, some of them were even super large enterprises, and some of them were well-known celebrities, such as the chairman of the NASDAQ.

executive scandals,

Business scams.

Even Ponzi schemes.

If all these abscesses are punctured, will the financial crisis of '08 come ahead of schedule in '06?

Maybe it's possible.

When the time comes, Wall Street doesn't know if it will tremble.
