American Fortune Life

"Nice, really delicious"

Andy watched the brutal crowd of people eating watermelons holding mobile phones, holding Starbucks coffee in one hand, and mouthfuls of very traditional Seattle sandwiches in one hand. I have to say that this traditional taste makes people more and more addictive. !!

The soft bread is covered with cream cheese, the hot dog is slightly burnt and served with onion sauce! It is simply the top enjoyment of the people!

Holding a glass of Seattle's classic Greek yogurt aside, and a little assistant with a sandwich, looked at the big devil enjoying the street stall with a smile on his face, completely ignoring the onlookers and the shopkeeper who smiled like a flower.

"Do n’t just hold your phone at me. Share this food together. I invite everyone to eat it, John. Make it for everyone."

"Oh, okay, now!"

When hearing about Andy's invitation to entertain, the 30 passers-by surrounded by it all rushed to Andy and said thank you, and the stall owner even smiled and closed his mouth.

In this way, Andy was standing on the street, chatting with the passers-by while eating sandwiches, and people laughed from time to time with some kind jokes from Andy, the atmosphere was very happy.

That night, Andy ’s very friendly roadside food tasting video immediately appeared on major videos and Internet portals. The TV station also broadcast the news. Watching the video, the joyful scenes of Andy and passersby were Can not help showing a knowing smile, all for Andy Smith, the world's richest man, so personal and friendly, full of goodwill, after all, no one likes high, arrogant celebrities.

Of course, this is also a temporary intention of Andy. With his wealth and status today, it really is not suitable for casual appearance in a complicated downtown like this. You know, there are a lot of crazy people in the United States, even more terrible ones. We can still get guns, the threat is too great.

Happy things are always one after another, and the next day they took to the air palace and flew to Andy in Asia, watching the New York Post in bold ‘thank you, bye! In the final installment, the radian of the corner of his mouth rose, and his big white teeth were exposed.

"Well, Murdoch, this old guy, really believes it!"

The little assistant sitting in the opposite aviation seat heard the teasing of the Devil, and couldn't help expressing his emotions. The Devil was one of the oldest newspapers in the United States. The newspaper, founded in 1801, was so murdered by the devil, it was really cruel.

"Oh, with the lessons learned, I believe that other newspapers want me and my family to open up, and when they are discredited, they will weigh it!"

This time, Andy did not hesitate to offend Murdoch, the old fox, and snooze with News Corps, not to kill the chickens to show the monkeys. The hardest and most difficult News Corps had to close the newspaper to calm his Andy Smith. Angered, he believed that no one would target him so hard.

He just wanted to tell all the media, don't mess with me, the consequences are serious!

The little assistant stood up very intimately, turned on the TV, and was transferred to the NBC news station. She believes that the closing of the New York Post is definitely the biggest news in New York. The TV station will definitely report on the spot. The miserable end of the game, perhaps, can make the Devil's mood more comfortable.

"We don't want this, we shouldn't." An editor of the New York Post walked out of the newspaper office building in Manhattan's Upper East Side with a sad expression, and said sadly to the media colleagues waiting there.

A "New York Post" reporter wore a t-shirt when he walked out of the office building and wrote "Goodbye, the cruel" New York Post ".

Some journalists said in tears: "My wife and I are working here. Tomorrow, this incident will brutally hit us."

Of course, some people are angry. When facing the camera, they said angrily: "When the anger gradually subsides, I hope that history will judge us and him based on what we have done all these years." ...

"Hehe." On the TV, those hints and accusations, Andy could not help but chuckle and shrug. This is completely understandable. After all, they just smashed their jobs and they were unemployed. Can't help but complain. "Boss, Bardstone's phone"

The little assistant handed the constantly buzzing mobile phone, Andy reached out and took the phone with a smile. A finger signaled the TV. The little assistant picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

"Bud, is there anything wrong?"

"Boss, just received the news. The Securities and Exchange Commission will announce recently that it will ban" Lightning Instruction "trading in U.S. stock trading in order to cancel the unfair advantage of some brokers in buying and selling stocks."

Hearing the news from Bardstone on the phone, Andy frowned. "This is not good news. The SEC ban does not require an internal vote first, and it also needs to be reviewed by the public. Will it come out? Why is it so fast this time? "

The so-called "lightning instruction" trading refers to the trading orders of some securities firms in the Nasdaq, Buzz Global Market and other trading markets, which can be faster than the public trading speed by several milliseconds. Using high-speed computer processing, these brokers can use these milliseconds to obtain better bid-ask prices.

Taking the Nasdaq stock exchange market as an example, investors' buying and selling transaction information often flashes into these high-frequency buying and selling sets of computers, which is 0.03 seconds earlier than making it publicly available to everyone in the market. In half a second, high-speed computer software used by large investment banks can gain insight into valuable information, such as the increase or decrease in demand for certain stocks. Therefore, large investment banks can take advantage of this and participate in stock trading before other investors in the market, thereby pushing up or suppressing stock prices.

The problem with “Lightning Order” trading is that some securities firms have obtained an unfair competitive advantage, and some trading platforms that allow “Lightning Order” trading also have an unfair competitive advantage over traditional exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange.

"Previously, several members of Congress wrote to the SEC requesting the cancellation of" Lightning Directive "transactions, otherwise legislation would be adopted to ban such transactions. As a result, SEC Chairman Mary Shapiro asked his subordinates at yesterday's internal meeting for quick implementation. Plan to eliminate the "unfairness caused by the" Lightning Directive "transaction." Bardstone explained to Andy over the phone.

"It seems that in the future, I will make a lot of money ..." Andy was not depressed. This was originally a loophole known on Wall Street, and the time difference of a few milliseconds was not easy to control. Of course, the advantages are still great. For some ordinary people and traditional exchanges, there must be unfair factors, but if they are to be cancelled, they will have some impact.

"We can't change this kind of thing. It is inherently unfair. We can only accept reality. Besides, we really need to use those few milliseconds to make money. That is a big problem!"

Although Andy said so, it is very enthusiastic that high-frequency trading can create more than 20 billion US dollars in profits for the exchange in one year. However, since the current market's attention to high-frequency trading has become increasingly intense, related debates have also Increasingly larger, naturally will not follow blind blending, muffled wealth is the king.

Hanging up the phone, Andy squinted his eyes slightly, groaned with his chin, and raised his corner of his mouth. Since the United States is about to cancel the lightning order transaction, then it is just a good idea to change those high-speed computers to a different place, whether it is in Europe or heaven. Choice, you can ask Li Xiaoying if you need it ...

Therefore, capital knows no borders, the west is not bright, and the east can be bright.

After 13 hours of flight, because of jet lag, Andy ’s air palace landed at Gimpo International Airport at about 4 pm the next day. Seoul weather in August was really hot and humid.

Andy, who had just stepped out of the cabin door, was extremely uncomfortable on the face of the sweltering weather in South Korea. Looking at the tarmac below, Li Zaixian led a group of men to the aircraft ramp. Andy calmed down some of the irritable emotions and smiled. Going to the gangway, spreading his arms, he gave a big hug to Li Zaixian, who had just reached out to shake hands.

"Welcome to Korea again!"

"haha, thank you."

Andy and Li patted each other's back vigorously first. After letting go, they smiled at each other.
