Chapter 1361 The last stop, the final stage!
You must have heard the name of this city,
Gotham, Big Apple, Capital of the World, Financial Center, Trade Center, Entertainment and Cultural Center, the largest city in North America!
—New York.
Located on the Atlantic coast of the southeastern coast of New York State, it has five regions, 59 districts, and an area of more than 1200 square kilometers.
Even compared to that vast London, it is not much inferior.
From being discovered in the colonial period, through the Declaration of Independence, through the opportunity of the Great War, with the rise of the country to which it belonged as a hegemony in the world,
New York has become, without exaggeration, the most apex city in the world.
Gross domestic product exceeds one trillion U.S. dollars,
No. [-] in the world!
Economics, politics, finance, media, education, entertainment, and even the fashion industry, all kinds of factors have made it the largest metropolitan area in the world,
Let an unknown number of people come here with dreams, to this apex full of opportunities and dangers,
Seek the countless prosperity that belongs here.
And among all the 'prosperity', the most well-known and highest-ranked one in the economic system of the whole society.
That is - 'financial transactions'!
Just as everyone who knows America knows New York, everyone who knows New York also knows a name,
That is equivalent to the nerve center of international finance, a place that is more risky than Las Vegas casinos,
Wall Street.
Located in the south of Manhattan, one of the five major districts of New York, it extends from Broadway to the East River, with a length of only one-third of a mile and a width of only 11 meters.
But it is such a narrow and short street that once concentrated the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, trust companies, the New York Futures Exchange,
As well as the general management offices of banks, insurance, railways, shipping and other large companies established by various large consortiums,
It has become a famous Wall Street in the world.
It's just that if you go there now, you can only see a business district, a street full of tourists, a few old skyscrapers and many open-air teahouses or cafes,
The windows on the side of the road did not have the famous names such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan, but there were only advertisements for fitness clubs.
Because apart from the few exchanges that are still there today,
As early as 20 years ago, the industries of those big conglomerates left here and moved to Midtown Manhattan with convenient transportation and a wide view.
After all, narrow, crowded streets that are as illegible as cobwebs do not really meet the needs of financial institutions to expand their business.
Is Wall Street down?
not at all.
It has just broken away from the real Wall Street, and has become composed of countless financial institutions and monopoly capital.
An invisible 'Wall Street' that symbolizes North American financial markets.
In offices at Rockefeller Center, the Wall Street Journal is still read,
In congressional hearings, the chairman of the Federal Reserve is still concerned about "the attitude of Wall Street", and on the other side of the ocean, the highest dream of entrepreneurs is still to 'finance money on Wall Street'.
On Wall Street, even the most junior financial professionals can earn upwards of $6 a year
Investment, trust, exchange, discount, mortgage, securities trading including stocks of listed companies, and international trade and non-trade settlement, gold and silver trading, export, import,
Relying on the top economic means, trading the greatest wealth in the world,
This is the 'Wall Street',
This is the financial field!
Let an unknown number of people look up to them, make an unknown number of people desperate, dreaming of becoming legends like Salomon Brothers, Morgan, Weinberg,
Seize the opportunity and get rich overnight, creating the latest financial myth of this era,
From a penniless ordinary person to a wealthy country!
As the sun rises, when the planet turns around the twilight line, the sun shines from the Atlantic Ocean again, illuminating all the cities on the entire east coast of the North American continent,
New York - Midtown Manhattan,
Skyscrapers, skyscrapers, skyscrapers and skyscrapers!
In the most prosperous and central area of New York, where the skyscrapers are densest on the planet, in the scene you have definitely seen from various movies and photos,
A building stands out even here.
I don’t know how many people who came and went, all looked at it with yearning and awe. Ordinary people can’t see the existence of the internal scene in their entire lives.
The building that stands here,
It is a behemoth that is truly at the top of the social economy!
——Huaqi Bank!
Coordinating more than a dozen subsidiaries under its name, integrating commercial banks, investment banks, insurance, mutual funds, stock and securities trading and many other financial service businesses,
An all-round financial service group with the largest assets, the most profits, the highest global chain, and the most complete business categories in the world today,
The total assets exceed two trillion U.S. dollars, which is the scale of wealth held by the world's financial giants!
And at this moment in this building,
On the floor of the stock exchange among the dozens of subsidiaries, everyone is busy and noisy as if they are in a hurry.
The atmosphere was so tense that it condensed into a thread!
In the office area where everyone is busy, a high-status man in a suit is listening to a report surrounded by several people.
Then after confirming something, he gave instructions loudly and trotted towards the upper floor!
And as he got on the elevator with an anxious expression, layers of scenes passed by,
Bankers work 14 hours a day, analysts read hundreds of pages of research reports a day, traders make dozens of calls a day, and key in hundreds of trading orders
Representing the so-called elite class, constantly dealing with those endless assets, those countless corporate financing,
Those 'Wall Street' scenes,
It didn't go away, it just changed places.
And beyond these scenes, all the way up to the top floor of the building that ordinary people can't touch in their lifetime,
The man in the suit finally pushed open the door of a large office with a 'bang', and reported directly to the point:
"Sir! According to the latest report, the stock price of Golden Iris has fallen by 14% from our expectation, to $69.43, and it is still falling!"
And in the highest room, sitting behind a large desk, he is having an emergency video conference with the top shareholding directors of Citibank,
The executive president of Huaqi Bank, Lancelot Bowen, frowned heavily after hearing his report.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will handle this matter properly."
Make assurances to the digital shareholders in the video with the utmost calmness, and then end the call,
Lancelot asked urgently with a serious expression on his face:
"What's going on! Didn't I tell you to remedy it? Why didn't you stop the decline?"
Faced with the questioning of the person in charge of the group, I have seen big storms as an assistant to the president all the year round, but I was really panicked by this time.
The secretary could only suppress his panic and answer truthfully:
"We have indeed taken action, but there is something abnormal and something we don't know is continuing to ferment!"
Make such an answer that seems to shirk responsibility, thinking that your career has come to an end,
But unexpectedly, he didn't question him for such an answer. The cold and serious man behind the big desk just kept silent and asked more anxiously:
"The two gentlemen haven't arrived yet?"
I'm sorry, this post could have been posted two days earlier, but one night a few days ago, I suddenly woke up at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, with a headache, a weak stomach, fever and sweating all over my body, boring, yes, It was a stomach flu again, which made me stay up until three o'clock before I fell asleep. I really took it. The more I am in the worst state and the most anxious, the more this stomach problem will come to me. Maybe it is also I couldn’t figure out that the plot didn’t feel like making trouble with eating, it was so annoying to death, I’ve been taking medicine for the past two days, but today I still feel bloated, not like eating, hiccups, alas, anyway, I’m sorry it took so long to update, still The writing is not very good, but recently I really think about the plot and think about baldness. At the beginning of this chapter, I only thought of letting Fangran come to a securities company in a random building. Now thinking about the group that feels dry (cover face) So although it seems like nothing, it’s actually my best effort. It’s my original level to lower the level by a few levels.
