Looking at Charlize I saw the look of pity.

Abel was in a mixed mood at the moment.

Even he couldn't tell how he felt now.

Remorseful? Accurate? Disturbed? Agitated? Dissatisfied? Depressed? Excited?

Anyway, there's a little bit of it.

"Whew...."

He took a deep breath.

He realized that his reaction just now might have been a little too aggressive.

"And what about you—" Abel spoke softly, and he looked at Charlize:

"Do you want to give birth? Have you ever thought that there is a high probability that we will not be able to get married. My family, my career, and my personal reasons don't support me marrying you. ”

Although I have been mentally prepared for this kind of time.

Charlize's heart still trembled, and she only felt a faint pain.

Fortunately, she already knew that this was a bastard.

A bastard who has the ability to shelter her for the rest of her life and make her live better than anyone else.

Charlize stubbornly said:

"I'm not going to get married. Ever since my mother brought me out of South Africa, I've sworn I'll never marry again in my life! ”

Abel pouted.

That's a nice thing to say.

In parallel time and space, although you got married relatively late.

But in the end, it's not married?

And he has three children in his life, and in addition to his own biological children, he has also adopted multiple children....

But he won't say such things.

He also felt that it might be Charlize at that time, and she at this time.

Psychology and experience should be different.

This Charlize who now belongs to him has just turned twenty-five years old after the New Year.

The one who gave birth to three children in a row in parallel time and space is already in his forties.

Different experiences have different attitudes towards life.

Abel thought for a moment, and then he said calmly:

"If you want to give birth, you can do that. This kid will also be Smith. ”

"Now you have two choices, one is to go to Australia, give birth to a child and come back when it is calm. One is to stay here and give birth here. ”

After the sudden mental impact of the child, Abel quickly calmed down.

He quickly made a variety of judgments based on his feelings and reason.

In the end, among these judgments, the decision was chosen as he saw fit.

"I will be after this child is born. Forming a family trust for you. ”

"This family trust will guarantee your basic living expenses every year."

In addition, the "contract" you originally signed also needs to be replaced. ”

"I remember you signed a medium-term contract, but now you have to change it to a long-term, even permanent."

"Is there a problem?"

Look at him as if he is talking about business, discussing business.

Charlize says it's impossible not to be sad.

She originally had the luxury, otherwise she wouldn't have taken such a big risk.

In her imagination, there are no more than three possibilities: upper, middle and lower.

, of course, it was Abel who married her to get started.

This is the most unlikely, but what if?

Charlize was willing to take a chance.

is what Abel looks like now.

Charlize felt that he would upgrade his treatment while having more restrictions on himself.

Next, it is to let yourself give birth to a child, and then give yourself a sum of money to drive yourself away.

Charlize is most worried about this, she is not worried that Abel will not have children.

Because of getting along with Abel, as well as in his daily performance.

Charlize has long judged that this man is a guy who attaches great importance to family affection and the people around him.

Unlike the average rich man, he attaches great importance to his family.

It's more like South Americans and Asians than Americans.

Because people in these two regions of the world will take their families so seriously.

Based on this judgment, Charlize determined that he would most likely let himself give birth to the child.

This prompted Charlize to be willing to take a big risk and carry out this thing that she had been thinking about for more than two months.

Now Abel's choice for her is Charlize's own upper, middle and lower.

Charlize thinks.

This is already a very good choice for me.

She did not refuse, but bowed her head and whispered:

"I choose to listen to your arrangement. I can go wherever you tell me to go. ”

"But I think after I have a baby, I can still be his mother, and I can continue acting...."

At this time, Charlize looked very humble.

When these words are spoken, the tone is also full of emotion.

There is part of her true feelings revealed, but more of it is that she is trying to play her acting skills.

She knew that this man ate this set the most.

"Hey..."

"Of course you will be the mother of your child. No one can change that. ”

Charlize was ecstatic when he heard this.

The mother of a child with the surname Smith?

Is there anything better to protect than this?

She was so happy.

But on the surface, she naturally still looks a little sad.

Then Charlize heard him sigh again, and said:

"As for acting... It is also possible to wait until the child reaches the age of one. I'll put more restrictions on you though, can you accept that? ”

"Yes—" Charlize was overjoyed, she had basically got everything she wanted.

Except for the most extravagant one.

She was full of joy, but still looked depressed on the surface:

"I listen to you, I listen to you all. As long as you don't sink me to the bottom of the Atlantic. ”

"Hey...."

She heard him sigh again, and then walked over and hugged herself.

Charlize immediately hugged him back, then rested his head on his broad shoulders and wept softly.

Soon, she noticed Able hugging her tightly.

This made Charlize feel happy in his heart, glad that he had made the right bet!

This lifetime meal ticket seems to have made itself firmly grasped!

After the two parted, Abel reached out to her beautiful face and wiped away the tears.

"So be it. You raise your baby here first. I'll arrange it, and you'll choose for yourself later. Whether you want to stay in the U.S. or go abroad to raise a baby. ”

"Hmm," Charlize replied softly.

"You can rest first. Sleep for a while. Abel gently laid Charlize down on the bed and covered her with the quilt.

Then with a kiss on her forehead, he turned away.

Walking out of the room, Abel closed the door and leaned against the door to think quietly.

In front of him, stood two bodyguard captains.

Edward & Dony.

Both of them knew that the boss was in a bad mood and did not dare to disturb the boss.

Another thing.

As the captains of the male and female bodyguards of the rock security, the two also have certain responsibilities.

Edward and Doni, at this moment on the boss's young handsome face.

I saw the micro-expression emotions of tangled, angry, anticipation, and so on.

Neither of them dared to speak, and even their own breathing was controlled, and it became very slight.

After a long time.

It could be ten minutes or so.

Abel finally sighed.

He finally spoke.

"Donny, arrange the manpower and protect Charlize."

Abel said:

"In addition, the relevant teams, such as the medical teams related to pregnant women and infants, will also be arranged."

"Okay." Doni said quickly.

"Edward. Inform Rock Security's Special Feminine Protection Unit. ”

Abel looked at Edward:

"What happened to Charlize is not an example. If this kind of negligence happens again. So... Let's all go to Alaska to grow potatoes. ”

"I hate anything that isn't in control!"

Edward's heart tightened, and for the first time he saw this angry, serious expression on his boss's face.

Edward hurriedly said:

"Okay, and I promise that it won't happen again!"

"That couldn't be better. Let's go, I'm suddenly missing New York. ”

Able closed his eyes, opened them after a few seconds, and said as he walked forward.

Edward hurriedly followed.

Doni will stay and leave after completing the boss's explanation.

8 March 2001.

Abel finally returned to New York.

At this time, the coldest time period in New York has also passed.

The Big Apple is starting to pick up, and everything is starting to recover.

Just like last time, he was a little depressed when he returned to New York.

When Abel is depressed, he will want more people to be depressed.

So the day after he returned to New York.

Smith Capital has entered the fourth safe house state.

This time it was the fourth and third floors of the entire Smith Building, all of which were only allowed in and out.

The first and second floors are open and operating as normal.

Therefore, the number of traders this time has increased from more than 100 last time to a total of 280 people.

Two hundred and eighty traders, starting from this day, before the end of the safe house state.

You won't be allowed to leave halfway.

Even if the disease occurs halfway, the treatment will happen at their posts.

Compared to the previous safe house status.

Smith Capital, which already has experience, is now more familiar with the operation.

The third and fourth floors, two floors are covered in electronic barriers.

In addition to physical and manual transportation, other means of communication with the outside world have been interrupted.

In addition, there are many restrictions on the network routes and telephone routes that are subject to internal monitoring.

This is used in trading.

And when this order was given, the selected traders were all excited.

On Wall Street, the term "Smith safe house" is already in place.

On Wall Street, everyone said that if Smith Capital had turned on the safe house status.

Then everyone should be careful.

Because of Smith Capital, it may be about to start cutting meat on everyone again!

This is for companies other than Smith Capital.

But for Smith Capital's own employees, especially the chosen traders.

Then that's a good thing to celebrate.

In the trading hall on the third floor.

Before the work even begins.

A former Smith Capital veteran.

He excitedly boasted to the other three traders who surrounded him and had just joined and were still in the internship period.

“... Hey, guys. Do you want to know, in the last safe house state. How much money do we traders make? ”

The incident he said has also become a legend among ordinary wage earners on Wall Street.

Reputedly... It is said that traders who can enter the safe house of Smith Capital every time to work after the end of the full house state.

For each trader, the prize money is at the level of more than $100,000.

It is said that if you have played in Smith's safe house three times, it is just a prize money.

It's worth their salary for two or three years!

Listening to the boasting of the veteran, a newcomer flattered and said:

"Williams, how many are there? We're all curious, we're all colleagues now, just tell us. ”

Looking at the inquisitive eyes of several people, Williams held out three fingers.

"Thirty thousand dollars?" The newcomer who spoke just now said in surprise.

Don't think $30,000 is a small prize on Wall Street.

Contrary.

The income of the average Wall Street wage earner is actually not that high.

Among the 20 highest-paying professions in the United States, the average Wall Street worker does not even rank in the top 20.

The 20th place is a judge and magistrate, with a median annual income of about $140,000.

An average Wall Street analyst and trader generally earns about $50,000 when he first enters Wall Street.

That's an annual salary!

After 10 years, the salary peaks, generally a base salary of $100,000, plus a bonus of $2 to $30,000, for a total annual income of about $120,000.

This is already an old fritter-level Wall Street worker.

At that time, Smith Capital, the first part of the staff recruited.

Most of them are Wall Street workers at this income level.

This expansion of Smith Capital has 596 employees.

There are at least 400 people, and before they enter the company, they are also in this class.

On Wall Street.

Generally speaking, income growth is fastest in the first five years, rising at a rate of 10 to 15 percent per year, and if you change jobs every two years, your salary can double after five or six years.

That's the income of an average, good-class Wall Street worker.

Of course.

This class is at the bottom of Wall Street, only slightly better than interns.

The real attraction and income of Wall Street is mainly in the middle and upper classes.

Above the middle and upper levels, they are basically relatively good investment managers.

Like Goldman Sachs' more than 20,000 "vice presidents", the ones with better performance.

Their annual income can reach about 50-5 million US dollars.

The reason why the gap is so large is because this class no longer makes money from salaries.

They rely on bonuses and commissions.

On top of that, there is already the real upper echelons of Wall Street.

It's those big and small management, even the president and general manager of the company.

In 2000, the number one earner on Wall Street was Richard Forder.

The Wall Street bulldog received $45 million in annual salary, bonuses and dividends at Lehman Brothers last year.

This kind of top-level income is basically the highest in the American wage earner industry.

In this period, it can be compared with the salary of Wall Street in the top working emperor.

Just last year, the Nasdaq had not yet shattered the leaders of the previous Internet companies.

In fact, except for the middle and upper classes.

The vast majority of ordinary Wall Street employees do not earn more than $200,000 a year.

Those who can receive more than the average bonus are not MD (directors, managers) or higher.

It's a big-name trader, a famous analyst or a fund manager.

Their annual red envelopes are often millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions of dollars.

And these people are less than 2% of the total number of Wall Street people.

In fact, ordinary employees on Wall Street.

If it is calculated in the unit hour, it is not much more than the same profession in other industries.

Add to that the pressure of Wall Street work.

These bonuses simply don't outweigh the losses.

What's more, the volatile working environment on Wall Street has left ordinary employees with bonuses unprotected.

If you're unlucky, you may also take a pay cut in the event of a financial tsunami.

In the event of an economic downturn, bonuses can sometimes become severance pay.

So Smith Capital, once in a safe house state, can give the trader a $30,000 bonus.

That is also unique in Wall Street.

But Williams scoffed: "How can it be so low!" I was the leader of a group, and there were ten of us in a group! ”

"We're in charge of controlling 50 accounts, five each!"

"My prize is $300,000! 300,000! Listen, the others are taking 150,000, 150,000! ”

Hearing this number from Williams, several newcomers were a little dumbfounded.

The newcomer who kept talking asked stupidly:

"Just... In the safe house state, responsible for the execution of the investment manager's orders, conditional mechanical buying and selling, can you get so much money afterwards? ”

"yes. Just listen to the orders of General Manager Mellon, and buy and sell to close positions according to the digital conditions she set. Williams said:

"Manager Mellon, on the other hand, is directly under the command of our king! Our King Smith, he is our real brain, we are his tools, we are his software in the capital market! ”

Confirmed from Williams, several rookie traders looked at each other.

This... Isn't this something that a recent graduate intern with a finance major in college can do?

After doing this for a few days, there is such a terrifying bonus?

It is even an exaggeration to say that any American with a high school diploma or above and a normal IQ is normal.

After learning about half a month of operation, it is estimated that you can execute this level of trading orders.

There is no need for subjective kinetic energy, and there is no need for self-judgment and analysis.

It's really not that hard.

That's it, there are such exaggerated bonuses?

The newcomers are a little numb.

But at the same time, one by one, they are excited and difficult to control.

Because this blissful thing has now fallen on them.

As long as they can complete the instructions from above, doesn't that mean that they also have a chance to get such a big prize?

None of them have officially entered the market, 280 traders of Smith Capital.

has already been excited because of the possible generous bonuses.

On the fourth floor, in Abel's office.

The walls on the left and right of this place are also arranged as screen walls, and they are covered with liquid crystal monitors that have not been around for a long time.

These LCD monitors, at this time, display real-time information of products in multiple financial markets around the world.

David Mellon and another assistant investment manager, a white man named Jason, who had just been hired, were on standby.

Both were thrilled.

David Mellon is excited to make another big move.

Jason was excited because he could see "The King", "Financial Moses", and "The Wolf of Wall Street" in action for the first time.

Abel himself stood in front of the screen wall.

If this is the case, pay attention to his eyes.

You will find that his eyes are mainly focused on gold and silver precious metal futures.

What Abel is looking at is London Gold, which he has invested in many times.

Now in 2001.

At present, London gold is at the 235.55 position.

This position also represents the price of gold at $235.55 per ounce.

He has been in the industry for more than a year.

Even if he doesn't have talent, Abel can now understand the market.

Now in the daily chart of London gold, it can be seen that the 20 moving average and the 0 moving average have formed a golden cross.

Moreover, the daily candlestick of London gold is oscillating in a large box of 500 points.

Inside this box are intertwined with the 5 EMA, 10 EMA, 20 EMA!

They are intertwined.

The daily K-line of London gold is also shuttled through these three moving averages, and London gold has recently risen sharply and fallen sharply, which is related to this.

But even though he can understand it, if he wants to use this knowledge to make transactions.

Abel felt that he would lose a lot.

Because of this knowledge, people who can understand these candlestick charts.

On this planet, there are probably tens or millions of people.

But among so many people, there may not even be a thousand people who can make money in it.

Abel felt that he was not among the thousand.

Fortunately.... He was a gifted man.

His talent tells him that London Gold is brewing a small bull market.

London Gold refers to a trading product provided by the London International Financial Futures Exchange.

It is a 400-ounce gold brick of 99.5% purity, stored in an underground vault in the City of London.

London gold is not a type of gold, but a way of trading precious metals on margin.

Named after its origins in London, it has been on the international market for more than 200 years and is the most popular way to invest in gold, widely sought after by investors and speculators.

Because of its representativeness, London gold is basically the representative of spot gold in precious metal futures.

The price of gold in this market is quoted according to the international market conditions and has global liquidity.

Every day in the world, gold is traded in trillions of dollars.

The plate is so large that no consortium or institution can artificially manipulate such a huge market.

Unless the great powers come to an end, and only those one or two great powers have the ability to do so.

Talent told Abel that now was an opportunity to open a long position in London Gold.

In the short term it will rise by a large margin, and then it will fall back in May or June.

Normally, it will stay that way because of the weak economy.

But this year, there will be an international super black swan.

That black swan will make global funds feel risk-averse.

At that time, it will stimulate a super bull market in gold.

Abel's approach is very simple, what he wants is to make a lot of money in this wave of small bull market first.

Then raise funds and prepare for that big bull market!

In this small bull market, there is only about 300 points of profit.

The key to how much money can be made depends on how many long positions Smith Capital can establish around 235.55.

Thinking of this, the king of Smith Capital directly gave the order.

Open unlimited positions before 240.00, and after 240.00, slowly suppress.

A week later, it didn't matter what the market was.

Then close the position before the end of the month.

Of course, he didn't say when the position would be closed.

When the time comes, he will naturally let David start to close the position.
