American Fortune Life
Chapter 464: Formation of private armed groups
Free City Investment Company, like a battlefield, everyone's tie loose, white shirt sleeves curled, walking all the way down the road with an exciting look on each face.
Right in front of the office hall, a group of people are setting up a large LED splicing screen, and now the big boss has become a giant millionaire, and the natural working environment needs to be fully upgraded. Restore the stock exchange hall directly to the company.
After all, now every company group makes a money-making deal has a reward. This is the real feast for them. A large amount of US dollars in luxury car mansions will be realized in this feast. Playing with fate is the most important thing. Almost everyone has greedy green light in their eyes, which is the norm on Wall Street.
For Andy, Wall Street without supervision, instead of paying taxes, it's better to send people who can bring wealth to themselves, after all, who are the guns in their hands.
“Boss, since this morning, there's been a constant call to see if our company has a fund project, and a lot of people want to give us the money, you see... ”
Andy was in a good mood with his hands on the floor window, some of his cheeky faces on the glass, watching the paparazzi downstairs, listening to Budstone, smiling back and saying, “What do you think? ”
“I think it's time to become a private equity fund. After all, it's impossible to normalize the way you operate with your personal funds. With this effect, and the feast that follows, our Freedom City will become the hottest investment firm on Wall Street, with great benefits for your influence and connectivity, both in terms of company profitability and for your boss. ”
“If there's a benefit, why don't you start with two billion-dollar funds, a minimum of a million thresholds, another 10 million thresholds, risk types, you're the expert. ”
“Oh, good boss, with your current wealth influence, I think the news of the establishment of these two funds will sell out as soon as it is released. ”
Andy shook his head with a smile and sat down next to the couch and said softly, "I hope so! ”
Capital markets are a money game. The more money you have, the more market power you can leverage. Of course, there is no way to compare the big investment banks that move tens of billions of dollars, but the advantages of Andy's fund projects are that they are flexible in operation, low construction costs, and absolute returns and incentives.
Private equity funds are known as the game of the rich, which makes sense, after all, even in the rabbit country the subscription threshold for each private equity is 1 million.
Andy thinks about the current stock market situation and still doesn't change the upward trend. Since the government is advocating for a "bull market," Andy will naturally not go against the tide. Andy still remembers the node of the sharp fall in the U.S. stock market. Pre-October US shares were up all the way, so naturally we need to make good use of the money.
By the time the October node arrives, it will be time to empty the stocks that have been picked out.
I'm sure a lot of people don't really understand the stock shortage, but quite plainly, it's easy to understand: assuming a share price is 100 yuan, if you think it's too expensive, then you would sell it. But you don't have this stock, so what? Ask the broker to borrow stock to sell. But the loan is for repayment. If this stock does fall to $80 in a few days, as you wish, then when you get to the $80 price, buy the stock and give it back to the broker, so you earn $20 per share, and you don't forget the fee.
Of course, not everyone can borrow stock from brokers. There is a threshold for individuals to make more time, so let's not think about it...
“Oh, now the stock is like a bath water in a bathtub, the plug has been pulled out, the bath water is pouring out but the wind seems calm on the surface, but the dark tide is actually raging. But when people saw the vortex, they knew the water was running out. ”
“This is a lucrative decision of people. After everyone tastes the delicacy of making money, they become blind and arrogant. They feel like they won't be the worst of luck. One day the stock market will exist, this kind of thing will continue to exist. The lesson of failure will never be learned by anyone else. The new entrants won't
I care. ”
Badstone, as a senior professional, naturally sees it better, that they eat this meal, and as long as people have a desire for money, they never lack the speculators to enter the capital market.
Watching Budstone leave the office, Andy sits at his desk, looking at an A4 piece of paper in his hand, which he painted with a pencil, the first generation of armor that appeared in Iron Man 1, that Tony Stark built in the cave.
To convince old stubborn Stan Lee, what could be more convincing than a couple of Iron Man sketches in a movie? Well, Andy needs to go into the super god state for an exploded diagram of Mark's armor. Little by little, he doesn't know anything about machines.
Putting the first sketch in the file bag, Andy remembered Joseph telling himself about the security upgrade earlier, stood up from his seat, walked to the door, opened the door, and waved to Joseph and Kenny.
The two walked in quickly, and Andy smiled and reached for a hint. “Sit down, let's talk. ”
“Time passes really fast, it's been a year since I've had the pleasure of working with both of you... ”
Joseph and Kenny looked at each other and listened to the boss how he felt about firing them. Although the expression on their faces didn't change much, one heart sank.
After all, trying to get Andy to be a bodyguard is a well-paid, well-paid job that hasn't been very dangerous, but it's hard to find. The more you listen to Andy, the more unnatural the look on your face, the suddener you hear it.
“Yes... Cough, it's a little unethical, but I was hoping you two could come and help me. I wanted to set up a security company, and you two joined the company as partners. I don't know what you think. ”
Joseph and Kenny both stared at each other, and their sinking hearts suddenly lit up. This is the young boss carrying them, the partner of the bodyguard and security company. That's the difference between heaven and earth. Especially the miraculous young boss in front of them. How capable and background they are, as Andy's personal bodyguard, is perfectly clear.
“Thank you, boss, for giving me and Kenny this opportunity...” Joseph had no hesitation at all, to be honest, it was the biggest encounter of his life, and the change was right in front of him, and for the mercenaries who came down from the battlefield, Blackwater, heh, was really just a hiring platform, and it didn't need loyalty, it just wanted a killing machine that could do battlefield tasks.
Kenny nodded with joy, agreeing with Joseph.
“Oh, well, I was worried that the two of you wouldn't agree, and it would be embarrassing to get along in the future, so I'm just relieved that I'm going to recruit a CEO and an administrator to set up a framework for the company, and you, as shareholders, are responsible for the recruitment and training of security personnel, which I think should be very simple for you.” Andy was relieved, and to be honest, he didn't tell a lie, and he was really worried that the two of them would hesitate.
“Boss, no problem, Kenny and I used to have our own battle team, we only needed one phone call to recruit, but boss, our company's business... ”
Andy looked at Joseph with a hint of invisibility on his face and asked, "Corporate business? Is there a problem here? ”
“As such, if our company is just a simple security consultant company, it needs to recruit personnel for training. After all, our team and Kenny need to conduct personnel screening. After all, some of them have war syndromes and are already having difficulty adapting to normal social life. Many people are unable to adapt to normal life after being discharged from service and can only become mercenaries with guns until they die in battle sometime. ”
Joseph and Kenny were a little depressed by the six-year war that deflected too many soldiers.
“Are you asking if the company's business includes military contracting?” Andy quickly understood what they meant, after all, that killing machines and bodyguards were two things and could not be converted at all.
Andy knows that war dividends are fat and he knows that the international situation in the future is volatile. To be honest, he doesn't care about any military contracting business. There are many ways to make money. He doesn't exclude war money. He just doesn't have a reputation. But who cares, most of all, wants to have a legitimate control over an armed force in his hands, a quick reaction arm that can protect himself and his assets. After all, all the forces of the major American consortiums have their own armed forces. Even HK's bodyguard is a mercenary. Only his own people or his subordinates can guarantee loyalty to the best of their ability. Of course, talking loyalty to foreigners is bullshit, but the spirit of the contract and whoever's food bowl can still make foreigners work for themselves.
