Gong Jie looked at Li Yunhai in a daze, also looked up at the sky, and said, "It's not good." The moon in a foreign country has no round in the country. ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Gong Jie lightly touched Li Yunhai's hand and said, "Don't be depressed, the customs of each place are different, and the people of the United States have such strange customs, but they are speechless enough." Professor Ni is right, maybe the Orientals will sell it to us? ”

Li Yunhai nodded: "As long as we can afford the price, they should be able to sell it." However, the relevant negotiations are afraid that it will be difficult to carry out! These high-end machines are not so easy to buy. ”

Now there is no so-called restriction, plus the Oriental and the Chinese are competing for the market for lithography machines, of course, whoever pays will sell it to whom.

Li Yunhai not only has to buy, but also pays attention to quality and service.

Gong Jie thought of something and said: "Mr. Li, they don't provide good after-sales service for such a valuable production line, does it mean that these production lines are actually not expensive?" It's just more expensive to sell to us? ”

Li Yunhai had to praise Gong Jie's wit: "You're right, these machines are not worth so much money, but when people sell them to us, they will cost so much, and we don't even have room for counteroffer." ”

Just like Li Yunhai authorizes CCA to produce for foreign businessmen, he sets the rules and conditions, and he sets the price.

No matter how expensive it is, those who want to buy it are not qualified to negotiate terms at all.

Gong Jie asked him, "Where are we going?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "Let's go to Wall Street to have a look!" ”

"Financial Street?"

"Yes, you do."

"I've heard of it. Why is the stock market in the United States so developed? We don't have a stock market in our country. ”

"There are stocks in the country, but there is no formal stock trading market. There is a stock exchange in Shanghai, but it mainly deals in fixed-income securities such as treasury bonds. ”

The two took a taxi to Wall Street.

Wall Street is a bit of a 20-minute drive from the Plaza Hotel.

When the two arrived on Wall Street, Li Yunhai paid the fare and got off with Gong Jie.

In 1986, the country's economy had changed from high-speed development to slow development.

There is no such famous bronze bull sculpture on Wall Street yet.

The economic bubble that began in 1986 directly triggered the stock market crash in 1987, which affected the stock market in Xiangjiang.

Later, the Wall Street elites who came out of the bursting of the financial bubble needed a shot in the arm, so there was the bronze bull weighing 6,300 kilograms, which symbolized the strength and courage of Wall Street people, and they continued to fight and forge ahead. It also symbolizes that Wall Street stocks can survive for a long time, which is also the hope of Wall Street elites.

Li Yunhai took Gong Jie to the New York Stock Exchange to have a look.

A young man in a suit and leather shoes stepped forward and greeted them with a smile on his face: "Hey, hello! Need to buy stocks? My name is Jack and it's a pleasure to serve you. ”

As soon as Li Yunhai looked at him, he knew that the other party was a stockbroker.

Wall Street is known as the street of finance, and the 80s were the golden age of stockbrokers.

Movies related to Wall Street almost all tell about how crazy stockbrokers are in this era.

You can become a millionaire overnight and have nothing overnight. Countless stories of joys and sorrows are staged here every day.

In the 80s of the 20th century, there were more than 5,400 traders and 38 designated market makers on the New York Stock Exchange.

There are even more people on Wall Street who make money from stockbrokers.

There are basically no rookies in this industry, and the traders I see on the trading floor are all veterans who are in the prime of life or even gray-haired.

The stockbrokers outside are all white-collar elites.

Li Yunhai looked at this enthusiastic young man and asked, "I want to buy some stocks, how do I operate?" ”

Jack smiled and asked enthusiastically, "Do you have any vouchers to enter and leave our country?" It's a passport. Or do you have a green card? If we have our green card, so much the better! ”

He lowered his voice again and asked in a low voice, "You didn't come in in the dark, did you?" Is it smuggling? If it is a smuggling person, then you do not have the identity to apply for a bank card here, and of course you cannot apply for a stock account. ”

Li Yunhai laughed: "Of course not." We all have passports. I also have a bank account here in the United States. I came to the United States last year and opened an account here. ”

Jack was very happy, because he finally found a financier who could serve, and said, "That's fine, as long as you have a regular passport, I can help you open an account." With an account, you still have to have enough funds, just like the US dollar, you have to have US dollars, so that you can speculate in stocks in our country. By the way, you have dollars, right? ”

"Yes. Of course I have dollars, otherwise how can I buy stocks in your country? ”

"Very well, then, you also need an experienced stockbroker, like me, Jack. I'm Wall Street's most promising rising star! I'm not bragging, a lot of people praise me like that, especially the customers I've served, and they've all become good friends of mine. I'm sure you will too. I love working with Asians, and I think you're rich. Right? Are you from the East or from Hong Kong? ”

"We are Chinese, from China."

"Oh, Huaxia. Not bad, it's an amazing country, isn't it? Of course I haven't been to your country, but I will definitely go in the future, and I would love to travel to your country, really. But I don't have any money yet, you know, I just started working. I still have to make money, find a girlfriend, buy a house and then I can go out and travel. By the way, did I introduce myself? My name is Jack. ”

"Oh, nice to meet you."

"Congratulations, you've got Jack, the hardest working and most experienced stockbroker in the world! Next, allow me to introduce you to some of my most bullish stocks. ”

"Jack, I don't think you need to introduce me. I have my own stocks that I want to buy. ”

"OK, of course! Which stocks do you want to buy? ”

"Microsoft, Apple."

"Of course Microsoft is good, this is a technology company that just went public two months ago, and I'm not wrong, they only went public in March this year, and I have all the stock knowledge in my head! Really, I don't lie to you. But I'm not optimistic about this company. ”

"Why?"

"Because it's just a small business, they're listed on the NASDAQ, you know? Listing on the NASDAQ is very demanding, and the company's market capitalization only needs $2 million. Haha, you heard it right, it really only takes $2 million to go public. Microsoft has just reached this number. He can only be listed on the NASDAQ. ”

"What is Microsoft's share price? I just want to buy this kind of small tech company stock. ”

"When they first went public, the share price was $21 per share and they had 55 percent of the shares outstanding. The current price is $29, yes, the stock price of Microsoft is $29 now, are you sure you want to buy it? ”

"Of course."

"Yes, we need to open an account first, and then we can operate other things."

"Good!"

"Did you bring cash? If you have an account in Mi, of course, you can do that. We accept bank transfers. ”

"I have an account in Mi State, and I can transfer money to you."

"Good. It was a pleasure to work with you. We charge a small commission on trades, you know that, right? You must know, right? The commission we charge is very small, only 0.5% of the transaction value, which means that if you buy $10,000 in stocks, I will only charge you $50. ”

"Okay, that's acceptable."

"Great! I'll help you open an account today, you don't have to come to Wall Street in person in the future, no matter where you live, you just need to find my number, and I can help you buy or sell your shares. The trading commission, which is 0.5%, is very cheap, and we have no basic salary, so we rely on this commission to eat. ”

This guy is simply a chatter!

People who do this business, if they don't talk and can't do it, they definitely can't do it.

Stockbrokering is a high-intensity job, and most of the people in this industry are men, and there are a few women in this industry.

With Jack's help, Li Yunhai used his passport to open a stock account on Wall Street.

They come to Jack's company.

It's a big securities finance company, with an entire floor of office buildings filled with male and female brokers.

Jack asked Li Yunhai, "Mr. Li, how many stocks have you ever bought?" ”

Li Yunhai asked rhetorically: "How many shares of Microsoft are listed for trading now?" ”

Jack said: "Oh, that's a lot, you know, stocks are circulating, and only by circulating and trading can they generate value. ”

Li Yunhai asked, "How much money do you need to eat it all?" ”

Jack was taken aback: "Oh my God, I heard you right, right?" Do you want to buy all of Microsoft's listed shares? Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, are you looking to buy this company? ”

"That's not possible, Gates has a 45 percent stake. I'm just bullish on the company's future. ”

"You know stocks, sir. Let me see. ”

Wall Street has been trading electronically since the 70s.

Jack operated the computer and said, "Oh, Microsoft has 20,000 shares listed for trading right now. $29 per share, the total price is, I calculate. ”

Li Yunhai said next to him: "$580,000, Jack." ”

Jack finished the calculations and laughed, "Yes, sir, your computing power is faster than a calculator, which really surprises me." ”

Foreigners' mental arithmetic ability is generally poor, and they are shocked when they see our domestic ninety-nine multiplication formula.

$580,000, Jack can get $2,900 in commissions!

This commission income is already very high, equivalent to a month's salary of an engineering doctoral student in the United States.

And Jack only needs to move his lips and hands again, and he earns this money.

It is no wonder that many talented young people from the United States are rushing into this industry.

If there are a few more tycoons in their hands, buying and selling millions or tens of millions of stocks every day, their income is very considerable.

Jack smiled, obviously happy to find a rich man like Li Yunhai.

He did not shy away from saying: "I have come into contact with many Chinese, including Xiangjiang people, Taiwan people, and Chinese people. I used to think that the people of Xiangjiang and Taiwan were very rich, but Mr. Li, you showed me that Chinese people are rich! You're also rich, you're a millionaire! ”

After the establishment of Haihua Company in Xiangjiang, it opened an account in a bank in the United States.

Li Yunhai is here in the United States, and he only needs a passport to open an account.

The United States has long realized the office of computer modernization.

Whether it is the stock market or banks, their level is equivalent to the level of China after 2000.

Because China has missed the tremendous development of the information age, it has lagged behind by 20 years.

Li Yunhai came to the United States this time to buy, buy, buy, and spend.

So he first transferred part of the funds to Mi Guo's account.

The last time he came to the United States, he bought the patented technology of the touch exhibition, and transferred it through Chen Guangxin's company. For convenience, he opened his own account in the United States.

Li Yunhai spent $580,000 to buy 20,000 shares of Microsoft.

Someone did the math.

If an investor had invested $5,000 in Microsoft stock in 1986 and held it consistently, the investor would have made a profit of more than $10 million in 2019, with a compound annual return of more than 25%.

In 1986, Li Yunhai bought $580,000 of Microsoft shares in the United States, equivalent to 116 $5,000. In 30 years, he will reap $1.16 billion!

At that time, the exchange rate was about 7, which was equivalent to 8.12 billion yuan!

Li Yunhai only needs to buy these stocks, nothing needs to be done, and then he can wait for the price to rise.

30 years later, the $580,000 will bring him 8.12 billion yuan!

Li Yunhai asked Jack again: "What is Apple's stock price?" ”

Jack said while operating the computer:

"Mr. Li, are you so bullish on technology stocks? Should you take a look at oil stocks? ”

Li Yunhai was very insistent on his opinion: "You show me Apple first." ”

Jack smiled: "Yes, you are my most honored customer, of course I have to listen to you." Apple went public on December 12, 1980, at that time at 22 yuan per share! I remember it very well, I have an impression of every stock. My colleagues say that my head is a stock retrieval machine. ”

"Hehe, you're really dedicated."

"A must! People in this line of work, if they are not dedicated, will not get much commission. Mr. Lee, do you know Apple's Steve Jobs? ”

"Yes."

"Then you must know that he was forced to leave Apple last year."

"Oh yes. Because of Jobs' departure, Apple's stock price has fallen quite a bit. ”

"Yes, Apple's stock, which peaked at $39, has now fallen to $12. There is a good chance that it will fall again. Are you sure you want to buy now? Apple is a good company, but without Jobs' Apple, do you think they still have a soul? ”

"Jack, stop talking nonsense. I don't want to explain to you why I should buy Apple stock. You can understand that I like this company very much. Buy me 50,000 shares!" ”

"Fifty thousand shares? So much? ”

"Aren't there so many listings?"

"Oh, yes, of course. OK, I'll buy you 50,000 shares. $600,000! ”

Jack gets a $3,000 commission.

In a short period of time, Jack earned $5,900 in commissions because he took the initiative to befriend Li Yunhai!

Li Yunhai spent $1.18 million to buy 20,000 shares of Microsoft stock and 50,000 shares of Apple stock.

He can continue to buy and bless the shares of these two companies in the future.

Apple stock is one of Warren Buffett's favorite stocks.

There will definitely be no mistake in following the stock god to speculate on stocks.

Jack was very happy after completing the formalities and getting so much commission, and told Li Yunhai his contact number, saying: "Mr. Li, if you are inconvenient to come to the United States, you are anywhere in the world, as long as you make a call to me, I will help you buy and sell any stock." ”

"Okay, Jack, thank you!"

"You're welcome, I'm honored to serve you. Mr. Li, I was wrong before, you are not a millionaire, you are a multi-millionaire! Can I tell you a little bit about oil stocks? I won't let you lose in my introduction. ”

"No, Jack, I still have something to do, and I'll get back to you if I need to. Good bye. ”

"Alright, goodbye, Mr. Li!"

After completing the formalities, Li Yunhai said goodbye and left Wall Street.

Gong Jie looked confused throughout the whole process, and she didn't want to disturb Li Yunhai at that time, and after leaving the taxi, she asked, "Mr. Li, why did you buy the shares of these two companies?" I heard that Jack say that he is not optimistic about the stocks of these two companies. ”

"So he can only work as a stockbroker."

"Huh? So, you're bullish on these two companies? ”

"Many people think that stocks need to be speculated, and they need to be constantly bought and sold to make profits."

"Isn't it? Although I have never speculated on stocks, I know that I need to sell them when the stock price rises and buy them when they fall. That's how you can make money. ”

"That's exactly how the short-term hype works, and your ideas represent what most people think. But I think a little differently. I think that the most important thing to buy stocks is to look at the future development of a company, and then buy their shares and become their shareholders. ”

"Oh, and then?"

"And then? Wait for this company to grow strongly, and you can enjoy their dividends in the future. I thought that's what investment is all about, like when we invest in a factory. You can't buy and sell at any time, can you? The kind of person who constantly buys and sells stocks cannot be considered an investor. ”

"What's that?"

"Speculators."

One is investment, the other is speculation, the difference between one word is a thousand miles.

Gong Jie listened, but she didn't know what to do.

Li Yunhai is obviously not a speculator, but an investor!

His image in Gong Jie's mind has become more three-dimensional and taller.

It was still early, and the two came to New York's Times Square to go shopping.

"You accompanied me on a business trip, and I promised to give you a gift." Li Yunhai said with a smile, "This is the most prosperous commercial street in the United States, and you can basically buy anything you want here." Take your pick! ”

"Can you only give me one gift? Then I'll have to think about it! Gong Jie smiled and looked up at the busy Times Square, "Let's go shopping first!" ”

"Okay, you think slowly. There is no hurry, there is time. ”

Times Square is home to the world's biggest brands, the most luxurious jewelry, and the most expensive bags.

The world here is completely different from the rest of the world.

It is no wonder that the Chinese people of this era want to go to New York to make money, and after coming, they stay for decades, until they are old, and they want to return to their roots until they are old.

In the five years around 1990, in the past ten years, immigration to the country has become the dream of many Chinese people, especially artists.

At the beginning, their group of people who went abroad were regarded as intellectuals in China, and they were also a group of people who were relatively well mixed, and if they had stayed in China at the beginning, they would have achieved and made money, but I am afraid that they would not be less than going abroad.

Few people can see the future, and people are looking at the present.

The reason why Gong Jie was able to change her mind was because Li Yunhai gave her a better job and depicted a better future for her.

Li Yunhai is young and has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Even if such a person is placed in the United States, he is a billionaire and an object of sought after and admiration.

Gong Jie saw Li Yunhai's success, so she wanted to work with him.

On the other hand, Li Yunhai used his unique charm to conquer Gong Jie.

If a woman is superstitious about a man, she will definitely follow him.

At this moment, Gong Jie walked into a clothing store.

She didn't know what brand of clothing it was, but she thought the clothes here were beautiful and the decoration was very high-end.

There were several saleswomen in the clothing store, both white and black.

A swarthy black woman, shiny black, like a black pearl. When I saw them walk in, I warmly greeted them and asked them if they were Orientals.

Gong Jie said that we are not Orientals, we are Chinese.

Black Pearl asked again, you must be from Xiangjiang or Taiwan.

Gong Jie said no, we are from China.

Black Pearl let out a long sigh, her eyes clearly showed contempt, and the enthusiasm on her face was no longer there, and she said, "Just take a look." Then he left.

Gong Jie felt inexplicable, and said to Li Yunhai: "She still looks down on us?" ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself that almost all the mainlanders who came over in this era had no money, and even if they went out to shop, they would definitely just take a look and not be able to afford the things here. The Oriental people, the Xiangjiang people and the Taiwan people are different, they are richer and naturally popular.

The salespeople here are all paid commissions and commissions, and they will naturally give up knowing that it is impossible to close the reception work, so it is better to wait for the next customer.

Gong Jie is a star, her clothes are quite good, and she has high requirements for the style and cut of her clothes.

She glanced at the clothes in the store, then took a fancy to a skirt and picked it up and gestured with it.

"Mr. Li, help me take a closer look, is it good?"

"It's not bad, you try it, you have to try on the clothes to know if they fit."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Li Yunhai snapped his fingers at a salesperson, and the white girl walked over and asked politely, "Sir, hello, what kind of service do you need?" ”

"My friend wants to try on clothes."

"Okay, this way, please."

These salespeople all have a feeling of being above the top, even if they talk to you politely, they don't really respect you, they just want to show her upbringing and the rules of the store.

Li Yunhai didn't care about the faces of these people at all.

The United States is a capitalist society, and it is all about money here.

He has seen a movie called "Home Alone", in which the Chinese people, whether they are upper-class people or low-level waiters, even if they are just a staff member who helps guests deliver luggage in the hotel, they are also snobbish, judging people by their clothes, and respecting people by the amount of tips.

But the management of the business here is very strict, even if they look down on the guests, they have to pretend to be polite on the surface. After all, customers can bring value to the boss.

Gong Jie put on her skirt in the fitting room, walked out, kept turning around in front of the mirror, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, do you think it looks good?" ”

Li Yunhai touched his chin, looked at her graceful figure carefully, and said, "You lined this skirt very elegantly." ”

Gong Jie smiled: "Will the skirt be a little short?" If it could cover your knees, it would look good. ”

"It's better looking, showing slender legs, a bunch of waists, the designer of this skirt understands women very well."

"Really? I'll take a look at it again! ”

She picked out a few more clothes and pants to try on.

Li Yunhai was waiting for her outside.

Another customer walked into the store.

This is a very beautiful Caucasian woman, not very old, about 20 years old, giving people a stunning feeling. Her beauty is a perfect fusion of bone and skin, men want to get, women want to be a beauty without jealousy!

Everyone has their own aesthetics, and the beauty that others love, individuals don't necessarily like.

But the woman in front of her can satisfy everyone's perception of beauty, and her beauty has no criticism.

She has perfect skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, exotic gray-blue eyes, charming hair, visually shocking, and her eyes are like a deer in the woods, round and clear, the nose is round and small, and the lips are also fleshy, so even if her overall facial features are very bright, there is no uncomfortable sense of aggression.

In addition, she is still young, with the innocent atmosphere of girlhood, beautiful and tender.

Li Yunhai felt that she was a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen her?

Maybe it's a female star in the United States?

As soon as the woman entered, several salespeople immediately surrounded her, offering hospitality and enthusiasm to sell her new clothes.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, it seems that this woman is a frequent customer of this store, or the salesperson knows her, so she is so star-studded.

Gong Jie tried on the clothes and came out, and when she saw Li Yunhai looking at the beauty, she touched his arm and said with a smile: "Hooked on a beauty?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled dumbly: "There is a little." This woman is so pretty, isn't she? ”

Gong Jie looked at the woman and said, "Indeed, like the eighth wonder of the world, it is fascinating!" I like it all when I see it! ”

Li Yunhai asked, "What clothes do you like?" ”

Gong Jie took out a few clothes, as well as the skirt she had tried before, and said with a smile: "I want all of these." I'll look at the price. ”

There is a price on the hangtag.

Gong Jie glanced at it and said, "It won't be so cheap, right?" $56? ”

Li Yunhai looked at it and said with a smile: "It's not a dot in the middle, it's a comma." ”

Gong Jie reacted at this time and said in a daze: "Oh, yes, then this is 56,000 US dollars?" Oh, my God! So expensive? ”
