how i bought the whole world

The U.S. stock market in 01 was destined to be an eventful year. In early May, the U.S. police announced that Joshua Smith was listed as a wanted fugitive absconding before Smith was arraigned for several days. It was this news that made every stockholder Everyone understands that things are irreparable: Joshua Smith is indeed a criminal. He deceived the majority of shareholders and caused them to suffer huge losses. There is no doubt about this point.Nowadays, people can only rely on the US judiciary to recover Smith's property and make compensation, but it is not easy to catch Joshua Smith. He has taken his mistress and followers away to unknown corners.

I feel sympathy for these deceived people, but stocks are like this. Risks and opportunities always coexist. No one dares to say that his stocks are 100% profitable, even Tiffany.All we can do is to avoid risky investment as much as possible, so that the profit is greater than the loss.

The follow-up of the fraud case did not make any waves on Wall Street, maybe it did, and it only affected a small number of people.In such a rapidly changing stock market, few people really care about whether Joshua Smith was arrested, whether the group of investors holding Laswaite’s junk stocks will be compensated, the hearts of investors are more concerned with the present, and perhaps Wall Street will always be better than you imagined. And be forgetful, in just a dozen days, the heat of this matter has completely subsided.

During this period, I shorted several transactions, but these few times I did not make money as much as Laswaite. After all, these stocks are listed on the stock market of very formal companies. In the end, it can be resolved by public relations.However, these few transactions still brought me a lot of income, and now I have started to choose my favorite model at BMW's car dealership.

Not long after, I received a call from a stranger.

"Dear Field, did you like my present for you?"

What came into my ears was a somewhat strange voice. I said it was strange because I had only met this person once in total, and he was Joshua who triggered a series of things.smith.

I immediately turned cold. "why you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Smith asked back, "I'll see how you are doing, and by the way, if you are satisfied with the gift."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Don't be so heartless." He was still laughing, "If it wasn't for me, how could you have the opportunity to make so much money from Wall Street? Isn't this a gift from me? Every windfall of yours But it was all taken out of my pocket, so I must have earned a lot this time, right?"

"Really?" I'm not sure if the FBI monitored Joshua Smith's cell phone, but his words are undoubtedly misleading. "You mean I'm in the same boat as you? I want to remind you that every transaction I make They are all upright, within the scope of the law, and you are the one who deceived the public and trampled on legal preparations."

Joshua Smith snorted.

"Well, crafty fellow, say what you will."

"What do you want to do?" I asked nonchalantly, "If it's about reminiscing about old times, that's fine. You and I have nothing to reminisce about. Unless you tell me where you are now, please just hang up."

"I tell you where I am, and you turn around and tell the police?" Smith enthuses. "So long in Wall Street, don't tell me you're still so naive, Will dear."

"Don't call me Will." I straightened my face.If possible, I would really like to report this person.

"Tsk tsk tsk. This is different from the attitude I just saw you. How respectful you were at that time, why, without the threat of life, has your nature been exposed?"

"Mr. Smith, your attitude is different from when I first met you." I reminded him. "Your fickleness is equally astonishing."

I don't know about Joshua.Smith's purpose for this call, but no matter how I asked him, he just said some meaningless nonsense. I guess he actually wanted to know about Tiffany.But I didn't have the kindness to tell him everything he wanted to know. If this guy really has a heart, why would he live up to Tiffany's expectations?Why make Evelyn sad—you know, every time Evelyn mentioned Joshua Smith, she would lower her head and wipe her tears silently. She was worried about this scum, even though what the other party did was so hateful .

But if he is really a good person, then I guess nothing will happen to me at that time.

I didn't hear from Tiffany until a few days later. "Joshua Smith is under arrest."

"Arrested?" I was astonished. "I thought he had already left the United States."

"Yes, but he came back again. Remember the huge storm in the Pacific Ocean last week? Joshua's cruise ship suffered a near-death test on the high seas, so he suddenly decided to return to the United States instead of going to Europe."

"Oh." I didn't know what to say, Tiffany's expression didn't seem to be indifferent, "Um, will you go to see him? I mean find him a lawyer or something, he's about to go to the prosecution right now It's stage."

"The jury will assign him a lawyer." Tiffany said coldly, "As far as I know, he has no repentance after being arrested, and he still hides his huge wealth from the judge, except for some obvious His mansion, the cruise ship will be auctioned off to pay off his debts, and he only needs to spend a few years in prison before he can enjoy the world again."

"Okay." I shrugged my shoulders, "but his clique is finally disintegrated, isn't it? Even if he is released in the future, it is impossible for anyone to be deceived by his flattery, and Evelyn can finally rest assured. Better for Smith to be caught than to disappear."

Since then, Tiffany and I have tacitly stopped mentioning this matter, but the matter is not over yet. Prosecutor Fornell.Kurt was suddenly fascinated by Smith. After he listened to a sales course taught by Smith, he supported Smith's contribution in the investigation of the fraud case, and finally made Smith only get 2 years and 8 months in prison. Can be released after serving his sentence.

For this reason, the FBI is very dissatisfied. You know, they followed Smith for several years before collecting evidence of his stock manipulation. Under the protection of the US Constitution, illegally collected information cannot be notarized in court, so It often happens that the police have grasped many clues, but they cannot prosecute the criminal at all. At this time, it takes an extraordinarily long time to catch the criminal's fox tail.The same is true of Smith's case. The FBI has been lurking on Wall Street for several years and collected countless witnesses and evidence before it can openly announce that it will open Smith's case for investigation.

But now, those police efforts have been undone as Smith aggressively confessed to his partner's crimes, leading a jury to grant him a reduced sentence.And those partners who used to have fun with him are now betrayed by Smith, who is eager for a commutation of sentence, and fall into a miserable situation.

Of course, it doesn't matter to me. In June, I left the New York Stock Exchange and opened a very small investment company with my name: William.After that, I hired several students who Tiffany liked as stockbrokers, and dozens of students who graduated from the School of Finance as traders.Now the company's business is on the rise, and it is developing in a good direction every day.

"I should get a private lawyer, sir," I said to Tiffany one day. "Do you have any good advice for me? A handsome guy or a pretty girl."

"Do you invite people based on appearance?" Tiffany frowned and gave me a stare, and I laughed happily.

"Please, sir, it's just a little hobby of mine. Please forgive me."

He snorted, "If you really need a lawyer, I can recommend my grandson Christian to you. He graduated from the law department of Yale University with a JD degree (Juris Doctor) and a New York State bar certificate. He worked in Dewey Lubrik International Law Firm, and later worked in a foreign trade company in Boston, but he seems to have resigned recently, and I think he intends to continue his development after returning to New York.”

"Christian!" I exclaimed. I met this young man at the Tiffany family's Easter party, and I was so impressed by his knowledge and politeness that we shared Gary. Wine from West Asia, and also talked about the future direction of the American economy-Christian is not ignorant of finance, if he can, he is really a good candidate. "But does he like me? William Field Securities is just a small, unknown company. I'm afraid that such a small corner Christian won't like him."

"So, if you want Chris to help you, I can be your lobbyist, Field. But you have to pay Chris what he is."

"Absolutely no problem. I will definitely give Christian a satisfactory answer to the salary issue."

A week later, I had my new attorney, Christian, at AiFriori, a famous Italian restaurant on Fifth Avenue.Jonathan had dinner.This restaurant is the fastest Michelin star restaurant I can book after the other party chooses to accept my offer. Although compared with other well-known restaurants in New York, the price of this restaurant, which means Italian flowers, is not high, but the food it serves Absolutely the supreme enjoyment in the world.

"Actually, there's no need to be so heavy, William." Christian was a handsome man with elegant manners. He looked a bit like Tiffany, but his eyes were exactly the same as Evelyn's.At the moment we are sitting in the middle of the restaurant tasting the appetizers, and then the bartender of AiFriori recommends wine pairings for us. The bartender of this store is hired from the top restaurant jean-George's with a high salary. The cocktails made by him are amazing. classic.Given the experience of enjoying wine together at Easter, the conversation between Christian and I feels free at this moment.

"You deserve a treat, Chris...excuse me, may I call you that? That's what I heard Tiffany call you."

"Of course, William, I thought we were friends already."
