After dealing with the witnesses, Delhi opened a private meeting room with the casino.

Most casinos have private meeting rooms, which are generally used by financiers, traders, etc. to conduct some shady underground transactions. The private meeting room of each casino has a supporting teleportation array for escape service, which maintains a critical trigger state every time it is activated in order to ensure that the teleportation is in place, and if there is any problem, the personnel in the conference room can be teleported away immediately.

However, as a result, the meeting room needs to consume more energy, so the casino meeting room needs to pay a full activation fee every time it is opened.

[Transaction payment: 5000 [base asset] + 500 [extraordinary asset - energy system]]

"In [Financial Street], you really have to spend money everywhere, and once you run out of money or go bankrupt, it is equivalent to being kicked out of the 'big family' of the financial spectrum. Therefore, I sometimes really envy the regular lineage system such as Youyang, at least their ability is really in their hands, even without the assistance of the lineage, their extraordinary power will not dissipate because of this! ”

Delhi pushed open the heavy solid iron door of the underground conference room and sighed at Xia Xiu, who was following him.

"There are people of other genealogies within the central government who also envy you, and if you have assets, you can drive the [financial beast] with the same authority as the [Juggernaut Incarnation]." Xia Xiu replied to Delhi with a smile.

"That's really the people outside the wall who envy the people inside the wall, and the people inside the wall yearn for the people outside the wall." Derry smiled self-deprecatingly.

As they spoke, they both stepped into the secret conference room.

The casino's basement meeting room is in line with its high price tag, and the interior lighting design of the meeting room is a clever blend of modern technology and mystery, with dim lighting softly illuminating the entire room, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

The walls of the conference room are decorated with dark wood veneer, and the walls are hung with heavy and historical paintings showing the power and glory of the past. In the center of the room is a large round table with delicate cutlery and documents.

The chairs around the round table are high-backed, providing comfort and support to the attendees.

In one corner of the room is a small bar area serving a wide range of precious liquors and spirits, allowing attendees to enjoy a unique sense of luxury and relaxation during their breaks.

Adélie Penguin invites the blonde boy to sit with him in the small bar area, and it seems that he wants to be a little more intimate with his collaborator.

【Ding——】

[Adlis Derry, a senior partner at Teney Headhunters, launched a [short-term deal] to Van Helsing! 】

【Trading· [Stock Lending]. 】

When the man and the penguin were seated, Delhi directly launched a trade with the blonde youth in front of him to show his sincerity.

Xia Xiu looked at the pop-up window, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he liked to communicate with these decisive people, and his golden eyes had already fallen on the transaction content on the pop-up window.

[Stock lending], which is a very important operation in the market, and it forms a double-edged sword with the concept of [stock borrowing], which makes the trading in the financial market more bloody.

Lending and borrowing, literally can see their specific role.

In layman's terms: in a stock lending transaction, the holder of the shares (the lender) temporarily transfers ownership of the shares to the borrower, and the borrower promises to return the same number of shares within an agreed period.

Stock lending is usually mediated by financial institutions (e.g., brokers, investment banks) who link stock borrowers with stock lenders and assist in completing the lending transaction. In this type of transaction, the stock borrower is usually required to pay a certain interest expense to the stock lender as compensation for the stock borrowing.

In other words, the lender is able to receive interest charges, while the borrower is temporarily given the right to use the shares to complete some of its own financial operations, such as Delhi and Xia Xiu now.

Xia Xiu needs [Financial Beast Sphinx] to perform some operations, and in the rules of [Financial Street], the control of [Financial Beast] needs to meet the corresponding prerequisites for holding shares, so the two can complete the transaction with the benefit of both parties through the temporary operation of lending and lending.

However, if lending and lending alone has the above play, then it is not enough to become a double-edged sword to stir up the financial markets, and they also have a more well-known core play - [shorting] and [hedging].

[Hedging] involves the financial concept of [position], and the general hedging includes [long and short hedging], [derivatives hedging], [currency hedging] and so on.

[Shorting] means that the 'borrower' may hold a bearish view on a stock in the hope of profiting from a decline in the price of the stock. They can borrow shares, sell them, and then buy them at a lower price and return them to the lender after the price of the stock falls, making a profit.

The process of [shorting] can be briefly described as follows:

Borrowing assets: Investors borrowing target assets (such as stocks) from brokerages or other financial institutions usually need to pay a certain amount of interest charges.

Short selling: The investor immediately sells the borrowed asset at the market price to obtain the corresponding funds.

Waiting for the price to fall: The investor expects the price of the target asset to fall so that they can buy it back at a lower price in the future.

Buy-back repayment: When the price of the target asset falls to the expected level, the investor buys back the asset at a lower price and returns it to the lender.

Profit or loss: The investor calculates the profit or loss based on the difference between the buy and sell prices.

The core idea of [shorting] can be summed up as: I think you are going to fall, so borrow your stock before you fall, and then quickly sell it at a price lower than the market, and when it falls, buy it at a lower price, and then return the stock.

In addition to the interest fee paid in the early stage, the other benefits are basically empty gloves white wolf, and if you want to be a little more frustrated, [short] can also be used with [financial leverage].

It seems simple, but [shorting] is about the financier's sensitivity to information and his ability to predict the future, and at the same time, he can also be a tool for the higher authorities to set up a game and cut leeks.

If someone maliciously creates or manipulates market conditions in order to make the price of a particular stock or asset fall and thus make a profit. They use [shorting] false information about a stock, manipulating trading activity, or other means to induce other investors to sell the stock, which in turn drives the stock price down.

This way of taking advantage of investors' greed, inexperience, or information asymmetry to gain benefits through market manipulation or fraud is like 'cutting leeks'.

There are always pieces of people who think they are smart people who have become leeks in the financial market, and the tirelessness of these people makes them an indispensable piece of the puzzle in the financial market.

At this moment, Xia Xuan, who had already completed the borrowing, was playing with the anonymous white [Financial Card] in his hand, and three messages of [Financial Street] popped up in his eyes.

【You've finished borrowing!】 】

[You have obtained 4.25% of the equity of Turney Company, and you have obtained the temporary summoning of the financial beast! 】

[Because it is a borrowed equity, you cannot use this financial beast to do any malicious hostile behavior against the lender!] 】

After playing with it for a while, the blonde young man raised the [financial card] in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Start Finance Sphinx."

A circle appears above the [financial card], and the center of the circle is a circle, symbolizing infinite circulation and balance. Around the center of the circle, criss-crossing lines and curves intertwine to form a complex and precise geometric pattern. These patterns are like a path to the unknown, leading to the flow and transformation of energy.

With a gentle flash of light, the [Financial Beast Sphinx] was summoned.

The Sphinx is a half-human, half-lion financial beast. It has the body of a lion, the head of a human, and the wings of a pair of eagles. Overall, its appearance is mysterious and powerful, and its eyes are tightly closed.

When the [Sphinx] appeared, Xia Xian looked each other up and down with great interest.

[Financial Beast] is different from [Juggernaut Avatar], which is the embodiment of power formed by the secret key and the distortion of [Juggernaut's] huge EVE particles and huge ARad field, which can be understood as the materialization of [Juggernaut's] will, and the avatar's every move completely follows the will of [Juggernaut]; The financial beast is different, it is a conceptual object formed by the accumulation of many assets, and the basis of its existence is given by the [Financial Street], so each [financial beast] is quite intelligent and characteristic, and the conceptual authority held by each [financial beast] is determined by their characteristics.

Looking at the [Sphinx] who slowly opened his eyes, Xia Xiu unconsciously began to recall the other party's abilities, and he remembered that the other party had two authoritative abilities called [Riddle Power] and [Wisdom Insight].

In particular, the authority of [Wisdom Insight], which is able to call on the resources of [Financial Street].

In other words, the other party has the authority to run at the highest level of the seven levels of the [Aetheric Ocean], which is responsible for the interaction and stability of information and concepts between reality and the Aether, and at the same time, there are many unspeakable and terrifying projections here.

The Sphinx can see things that shouldn't be seen, and of course, the prying can counteract this peeping if their thaumaturgical level is high enough.

The 4.25% form of the [Sphinx] can see that the non-financial street nature of the thing is actually just like that, but ·····

Xia Xiumo rubbed his chin, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile full of evil taste.

He wanted to show the other person something nice.

When the Sphinx opened his eyes, the blonde youth's left and right hands were covered with a heavy red book and a card as pure as white paper, respectively.

These two things are: the Red Book of the Heavenly Genealogy that has been disconnected, and the Red King's [White Label: Savior].

"It's you, an equal mortal, who summons me..."

At this time, the arrogant [Sphinx] recited the opening words when he was summoned, as usual.

At the same time, its eyes were slowly opening, and those slowly opened eyes were engraved with numerous circles, which were constantly rotating like GIFs, which was a sign of the use of [Wisdom Observation].

It habitually uses [Wisdom Observation] to peek at everything in the summoner, and it likes the feeling of seeing everything, which is like tearing open a box, and opening the box is to break the hypocrisy of the other party.

The Sphinx likes to open the box.

However, today's [Sphinx] regretted it, at this time, it wanted to poke its eyes blind and prevent itself from looking directly at the blonde youth in front of it.

Because, if you look at it any more, it will really explode.

Just now, the moment [Sphinx] opened its eyes and saw the blonde youth, its pupils suddenly shrank suddenly, and the circles that rotated like GIFs inside instantly froze, and then, these circles kept accelerating and rotating as if they were opening at double speed.

A huge message poured towards the Sphinx, and its double holes shed terrible tears of blood.

It saw that in the vast aetheric starry sky, countless behemoths were so large that they were astonishing, their huge shells shimmering with metallic luster, refracting the faint flickering of starlight, and at the top of that behemoth, exuding the aura of destruction; In the aetheric rift near Terra, huge metal rings enveloped the complex geometric structure, two pairs of holy winged war weapons surrounded the structure, and huge walls traversed the endless aetheric sky; And deeper, there is a terrible, unspeakable mass of light, and countless [Aetheric Spirits] tremble, and they instinctively sing praises to it, and they call Him the Almighty!

It saw the whirling creatures in the depths of the Sea of Stars [in the Crystal Heaven]. The cold, gray, meaningless howls of the old world and the new world surrounded a massive red creature who wore a golden crown and a red halo enveloped him.

Do not look directly at the great ones of the ages.

It saw everything, and then, its protective mechanisms made it quickly forget about it.

The Sphinx swore that it would never open the box again, and although it forgot what it saw, it knew from the constant trembling of its soul that it had seen something it shouldn't see.

"It's true that as rumored, the [Financial Beast] has the ability to prevent itself from triggering the [Mythic Factor: Shameful Death Mechanism]."

While the Sphinx was trembling, he saw his temporary 'master' walking in front of him.

The handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes looked at the trembling riddle beast and smiled softly at it:

"Come, let's start the quiz game now."

"Oh, by the way, I like to be a riddler, but I don't like people being riddlers in front of me, you know what I mean, right?"
