Vol 3 Chapter 19: Power of wealth

What is happiness?
For a foodie, being able to eat all kinds of delicacies is happiness; for car lovers, having a luxury car of your own is happiness; for a woman who likes brand bags, having a well-known leather bag is happiness; for For a man who likes beautiful women, having a beautiful woman day and night is happiness...
If you have money, all of the above happiness can be packaged.
Sixty percent of U.S. Treasury bonds are purchased by Neon. When Neon's major consortia or companies buy Treasury bonds, they often purchase them for millions of dollars.
Johnny Pitt exerted his maximum guessing limit before daring to guess 10 million US dollars. This figure was calculated based on the image of Shen Jiannan and his party and according to the top-level algorithm that Japan has always spent money on.
With total sales of 10 million US dollars, he can get a one-thousandth performance commission.
That is ten thousand dollars.
Rarely?
No, a lot, a lot.
Affected by the 87 financial crisis, the US economic environment has been very bad in recent years.
In 1990, the total value of gDP was 580 billion U.S. dollars, the per capita gDP was 23,000 U.S. dollars, and the per capita annual income was 14,000 U.S. dollars. However, in the first half of 1991, the U.S. economic growth had historically become negative growth. －0.23, the gross national product is standing still and the per capita income is slightly reduced.
Real estate companies are struggling to survive, financial institutions are also in fear, and the unemployment rate has remained high. Whenever an increase in the number of people receiving unemployment benefits is announced, it will trigger a wave of market downturns.
A bear market is always the worst.
Although Merrill Lynch is relatively stable, US$10,000 is still a large number.
It is equivalent to the money that an ordinary American cannot save in one year or even two or three years under normal circumstances.
One hundred million dollars, Johnny Pitt couldn't even think about it.
A one-thousandth commission, up to one hundred thousand US dollars.
You can buy a Ferrari sports car, you can buy two family Mercedes-Benz BMWs, you can buy a luxurious villa and you can buy a Ford car.
Oh my God!
Happiness comes too suddenly, suddenly it is very unreal.
Johnny Pitt lost his senses for a moment, wriggling his throat and looked at Shen Jiannan.
One hundred million...dollars!
He wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"My distinguished sir, you mean to buy 100 million US dollars of national debt?"
In order to confirm whether he had auditory hallucinations, Johnny Pitt had to confirm it again.
Even if he knew it was rude.
But under the figure of 100 million U.S. dollars, he can no longer take care of that much.
You know, even on Wall Street, there are not many institutions that can spend so much money to buy national debt.
Except for large hedge funds and banks, few people can spend so much money.
Even in the world, 100 million US dollars is not a small amount.
At least, as Johnny Pitt's lobby manager, he has never received customers of this level in Boston.
Under wealth, Johnny Pitt has forgotten the pride of being a white man, and his tone has humility and surrender that he didn't even realize. It is the root of root and the fear and yearning for capital.
Shen Jiannan raised his eyebrows helplessly.
If it were placed in the United States twenty years later, Johnny Pitt would not have such a reaction.
At any rate, it was also Merrill Lynch. The lobby manager was scared by the mere US$100 million, uh... Merrill at that time seemed to have gone bankrupt.
This...what is it called?
Without any choice.
Shen Jiannan had to repeat it.
"Yes, Mr. Pete, one hundred million dollars."
"Guru" sounded.
Johnny Pitt swallowed.
Even if he had already prepared, he still felt his heart pounding after confirming the amount.
One hundred million dollars!
Selling this treasury bond is equivalent to getting a private villa, or two brand-name cars. This is still only visible income. If you can receive customers of this level, as long as you can leave a little impression, the bank will benefit a lot from his career.
Johnny Pitt is able to serve as the lobby manager of Merrill Lynch, and his specially trained psychological quality is good. After raising Shen Jiannan's customer level to the highest level in his heart, he immediately adjusted his mood and tried to come up with the service attitude that a lobby manager should have.
Johnny Pitt bent down and made a ninety-degree butler's greetings.
"Dear sir, please wait a moment, and I will complete all procedures for you at once."
"no problem."
"..."
The banker’s dislike of poverty and love for wealth are best reflected in Johnny Pitt, who is like a hotel waiter, trotting upstairs and downstairs with the procedures for subscribing to treasury bonds.
As for the long queues in the bank lobby, he paid no attention to the weeds.
As a super VIP, Shen Jiannan only needs to sit and taste coffee and wait for the bank manager to send the materials and sign on the way. If it is not because he has a female companion, the beautiful staff of the bank, he will even provide chat service.
Ga~!
Free.
The national debt purchased by Capital One is a 10-year national debt, mainly because the medium-term national debt has the highest liquidity and the market demand is the strongest. The secondary market of the US bond market is the most liquid market in the global financial market. Its transactions are round-the-clock and the main transaction parties are between primary dealers, non-primary dealers and customers.
Many traders make market in the national debt market, among which primary dealers are the main ones. Market makers provide customers with market liquidity by temporarily holding positions and earn the bid-ask spread.
In addition to direct transactions with customers, primary dealers also conduct frequent transactions with each other. Therefore, in addition to the pledge function, this kind of bond can also be circulated in the secondary market at any time.
Undoubtedly, this is the most suitable collateral to pit the Soviet Union's big brother.
Uh...this is the most suitable collateral to invest in the house of Big Brother in the Soviet Union.
There is no waiting in line, and there are more full-time staff to handle the whole process, so it will not delay too much time.
It didn't take long for the bank manager to get everything done.
One-stop butler service, which is why Merrill Lynch can become the nation's largest investment bank and securities company.
Although, it later went bankrupt.
After completing the transfer of the capital bond, Peter Johnny respectfully handed all the documents provided by Shen Jiannan to Shen Jiannan.
Taking the opportunity, with a humble and flattering smile on his face, he took out the Merrill Lynch Global Credit Card that he had prepared earlier.
"Mr. Akiyama, this is Merrill Lynch’s highest-level global diamond VIP credit card. With this card, you can overdraft US$10 million in any bank in the world. Please accept it."
A silver-white card.
It is not paper or gold-plated, but a real white gold card with a few sparkling diamonds dotted with stars.
This kind of diamond card is specially crafted by Merrill Lynch Bank. The purpose is to send it out when needed. Unfortunately, every year Merrill Lynch can send out no more than fifty cards globally.
Of course, it's not that it can't be sent out.
The card itself is very valuable, not to mention the credit overdraft of 10 million US dollars, in addition, it is a symbol of identity.
There are countless people who dream of having a platinum card of this kind.
Therefore, to be precise, there are too few people who can meet the qualifications of Merrill Lynch to issue bank cards. Every customer who accepts this card has at least $100 million in assets.
Pete Johnny held the card in both hands, his face was flattering and flattering.
If he could send a diamond-level card to cheat, he would have a lot of commissions, and he would also get a certain performance commission for any consumption.
The capital squeeze of bankers has been best interpreted by Peter Johnny, and they will not let go of any profitable opportunity.
But the attitude of banking services is always reflected in value.
All banking industries in the world have a moral line.
Shen Jiannan knows why Peter Johnny's attitude is so humble.
However, since I have enjoyed the high-quality services provided by others, it is not justified not to give them some benefits.
Taking the card casually, Shen Jiannan put the card in Song Xiaodan's hand.
"Thank you!"
"It is my honor to serve you!"
"..."
Soviet Union ~EbookFREE.me ~ Leningrad.
A bank with Nanbo opened on 22 East Street.
The opening ceremony was very grand. Many upper-class people from Leningrad gathered here, including the deputy governor of the National Bank, the mayor of Leningrad City, military uniformed generals, colonels and other celebrities.
Among the celebrities gathering, a blonde girl is particularly eye-catching.
Niwa Kanowski.
Represented Geman Investment, the third largest company of Nanbo, to participate in this grand opening ceremony, and her identity is the daughter of Sergey Kanowski, the political ministry.
Alone Better Together?
of course not.
