My 1999

After the capital verification is completed.

"Which stock do you want to invest in?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked.

"Four and a half million Chinese coins, five times leverage, short selling Yahoo."

Xu Liang's tone was firm. The reason why he hurried to the capital was to seize the opportunity to short U.S. stocks.

He didn't know the specific time when the Nasdaq crisis broke out. It might break out the next moment, so he could only do it as soon as possible.

As for liquidation, it is unlikely.

According to Sina Online News, Yahoo's market value has now exceeded US$125 billion.

Although he couldn't remember what Yahoo's peak market capitalization was, he vaguely thought it was around 130 to 40 billion.

So even if Yahoo's stock can still rise, it can't rise by another 20%, so he can't liquidate his position.

If that doesn't work, you can sell the chicken pot cup to cover your position.

"Mr. Xu, are you sure you want to short-sell Yahoo? Do you know what kind of company Yahoo is?" Jiang Xiaoyang said.

Xu Liang looked at her calmly.

"Ms. Jiang, I don't need you to remind me what kind of company Yahoo is. You just need to open an account according to my requirements."

"I think I have a right to my own money."

Jiang Xiaoyang realized that his tone had misunderstood the other party, and quickly explained.

"Mr. Xu, I think you misunderstood me. I am not trying to stop your operation, but I am worried that the risk is too high for you to put all your funds on one stock.

Moreover, you are still operating a short position, and the target is the No. 1 Nasdaq Internet stock. Maybe as long as there is a good news, you will lose money or even liquidate your position. "

"So I suggest you appropriately allocate some low-risk assets and reduce your risk exposure."

"Thanks for the advice, but I've already made up my mind."

Seeing that he was so out of touch, Jiang Xiaoyang didn't bother to say anything anymore. Anyway, she had already fulfilled her responsibilities.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The signing of the contract was very slow. Xu Liang spent a lot of time carefully browsing every important clause. After confirming that there was no problem, he signed his name and transferred 4.5 million to his account at CITIC Securities.

"Mr. Xu, as the largest securities company in China, we will never engage in any fraud, you can rest assured." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"I prefer to trust my own judgment." Xu Liang said calmly.

Countless facts in the business world have proven that people who easily believe in business promises often die miserably.

Jiang Xiaoyang felt a little depressed when he looked at the young but inexperienced man in front of him.

With her excellent appearance and temperament, she believed that she could do well even in business. She didn't expect to meet such a difficult guy on her first day at work.

Judging from the information he just filled out, he is only eighteen years old.

When did a boy in high school become so calm and collected?

After signing the contract, Xu Liang returned it.

"alright."

Jiang Xiaoyang took it and looked through it. After finding no problems, he handed over his business card.

"Mr. Xu, I will be your full-time broker from now on. If you want to adjust positions or sell, you can call me at any time."

Xu Liang took the business card and took a look.

Jiang Xiaoyang.

CITIC Securities Investment Manager.

Comes with a phone number.

After writing it down, slip the business card into your pocket.

"Miss Jiang is from the capital, right?"

"yes."

"I plan to invest in an art training class in Beijing, but I have been looking for a long time and haven't found a suitable venue. I wonder if Miss Jiang can help?" Xu Liang said.

Now he has a dark eye on the capital, and looking for it on his own is too inefficient.

"Art training class?" Jiang Xiaoyang looked surprised.

"That's right."

"Mr. Xu plans to start a business?"

"You can say that."

Jiang Xiaoyang looked at the man in front of him, no, to be precise, it was a boy. She has met many entrepreneurs, but this is the first time she has met an entrepreneur who has not graduated from high school.

However, the other party's composure that belies his age is indeed impressive.

"I wonder what Mr. Xu's requirements for the venue are?"

"Close to Central America, there is enough space to be divided into different functional areas. It does not need to be close to the main road, but it cannot be too remote."

"What's the size?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked.

"It should not be less than 500 square meters. A single room should not be too big. It is best to be like a classroom. A room should not exceed 80 square meters."

Jiang Xiaoyang said after writing down his request.

"I can ask Mr. Xu, but I can't guarantee that I can find it."

"Whether it works or not, I will definitely remember Miss Jiang's kindness."

After saying that, he stood up and stretched out his hand.

He shook it briefly.

"goodbye."

"Mr. Xu, walk slowly."

After sending him out in person, Jiang Xiaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this customer seemed difficult to deal with, he finally placed an order.

The time soon reached four o'clock in the afternoon.

A middle-aged man in a black suit came down from upstairs.

"Xiaoyang?"

"Hello, Chairman."

Jiang Xiaoyang stood up quickly and said.

"It's time to get off work now. Don't be so serious. Just call me uncle." The middle-aged man smiled.

"Uncle Wang."

"That's right." After a pause, "You, a top student from Columbia University, have been working as a financial consultant for three days. How do you feel?"

"Business is difficult to do, and I took the order just now in three days." Jiang Xiaoyang said frustrated.

"Haha, the concept of wealth management in China is very weak now, the financial market is not sound and underdeveloped, and it is normal that there are few customers. After you have passed the internship period, I will transfer you to other departments."

The middle-aged man looked at his watch and said, "I'll leave as soon as I have something else to do. Say hello to your parents for me."

"Definitely bring it."

After watching him leave, Jiang Xiaoyang thought of Xu Liang and quickly took out his cell phone to call.

Now she is just a customer and she must keep it.

Otherwise, at the company meeting at the end of the month, it would be too embarrassing for me to be an Ivy League returnee with zero business.

…

Hong Kong Merrill Lynch Asia Pacific Headquarters.

As the third largest investment bank on Wall Street after Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch has rented an entire floor of office space in the Central Financial Center and is extremely wealthy.

Of course, it can also be seen that Merrill Lynch attaches great importance to the Asia-Pacific, especially the Chinese market.

In order to develop the mainland market, Merrill Lynch not only set up representative offices in Beijing and Shanghai to solicit business, but also cooperated with mainland investment banks to develop a series of businesses including investment consulting and wealth management.

Nate Liman is the person in charge of the cooperation between Merrill Lynch and CITIC.

In fact, he wasn't happy doing it.

Because there are too few mainland people investing in U.S. stocks, even if they invest, they only cost several thousand or tens of thousands of dollars, and there are very few large transactions exceeding one million.

People who really have money and want to invest in U.S. stocks will come directly to them, without the need for a middleman like CITIC.

Without enough transactions, he can't get commission.

Who would be happy if he couldn't make money?

"Dong dong...!"

"Come in."

A young man wearing a black suit, with a lean build and an obvious Asian appearance opened the door and walked in.

"BOSS, CITIC just sent us a customer investment application."

Nate Liman, lying lazily on the sofa, said casually.

"Dear King found us a business worth several thousand dollars?"

The young man looked very excited.

"BOSS, Mr. Wang is very generous this time."

Nate Liman perked up instantly.

"How many?"

"$550,000, five times leverage, short Yahoo."

As he spoke, he handed over the document in his hand.
