Chapter 348 Taking Advantage of the Fire
Wall Street, a paradise for all those favored by fate.
In this materialistic age, Wall Street is basically synonymous with money.
Every inch of land here exudes the vulgar smell of money, mixed with the scent of expensive cologne.
Batches of young and energetic financial dreamers, like moths to a flame, throw themselves recklessly into the snowball game of money.
With blazing eyes and dreams of getting rich overnight, they hurriedly shuttled between high-rise buildings, with the corners of their clothes blown up by the wind, as if that was a signal that they were about to take off.
It is also equated with human greed. Accumulated wealth can only satisfy a few people, but the goals of Wall Street people have no upper limit - there is no maximum, only more!
They sat in a spacious and bright office, their eyes fixed on the numbers jumping on the computer screen, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, revealing a greedy smile, as if all the wealth of the world was about to be pocketed by them.
When the compensation level of Wall Street executives has reached an immoral level, and in the face of the economic crisis, companies only want to reduce losses by laying off workers, how can the American people not be angry? I am afraid that people all over the world will be very angry.
The unemployed workers stood at the company gate with sad faces, holding protest signs, their eyes full of anger and helplessness.
However, Wall Street executives still wear suits and ties, go in and out of luxurious places, and turn a blind eye to the public's anger.
This level and class is so obvious and distinct.
The elites across the United States and even the world can see it with their own eyes.
So...since you're studying these numbers, studying these money games.
Being able to obtain such a high social status, one can easily obtain the highest level of material enjoyment.
Most of those talented and smart people will no longer work hard to study mathematics, physics, chemistry and the like.
Because that is science, and science is a high-level hall, and very few people can truly reach the top.
As a result, the vast majority of the Ansa elites, as well as more than 90% of the squid elites who were parasitic on the United States, have entered this field.
This is certainly the most powerful thing Wall Street has ever seen, and in terms of financial games, it is the strongest the planet has ever seen.
But what was the price? The last batch of engineers and senior workers in the Cold War died, retired, or no longer had the energy to do that kind of work.
The collapse of the empire was apparently inevitable.
Because although finance is very high-level, it also requires a foundation.
When this foundation is destroyed, it naturally cannot continue to stay at the top layer.
Every time Milo came to Wall Street, he would have this feeling -
The fire is blazing, the flowers are blooming, and death is not far away.
Unfortunately, there is no way and no ability to reverse this order and rules.
It should even be said that he himself is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this rule and this order.
At this moment, many banks around the world and Latin American countries are in a state of panic because of the sovereign debt crisis.
Milo, however, was carrying out his daily routine at his estate in Long Island, New York.
"Haha, this is really good news." In the study, Milo's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, holding a mobile phone in his hand, looking through the window, without blinking, at Ivana who was swimming in the swimming pool in the courtyard downstairs.
She has a graceful figure and is as agile as a fish in the water. The splashing water sparkles with crystal light under the sunlight.
Milo smiled and said to Gisele Bundchen who was very happy on the other end of the phone.
The recent election of "The World's 100 Sexiest Women" conducted by the British men's magazine "FHM" is very representative because it attracted nearly 10 million readers to vote.
As a result, Gisele Bundchen jumped from 7th place in 1997 to 1st place, surpassing many supermodels and female stars in the entertainment industry to become the top of the list.
The magazine editor even praised Giselle for her looks, figure, intelligence, and sharpness that few women have.
Giselle, who got the news, was so excited that her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled with joy. She immediately called Milo to share the good news.
"Haha, I get it. Just be a good mentor. We'll meet again when we get back to New York. That's all. I have a video conference to attend later. OK."
Milo hung up the phone slowly with that unchanged smile on his face, shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Gisele Bundchen has been working in Miami recently. She and several Victoria's Secret supermodels served as judges for the third season of TBS's "America's Next Top Model."
The idea of this competition came from Milo, and Jinpu contributed a lot to the first competition.
The ratings are pretty good, especially its HB feature, which has a very stable group of male viewers.
He slid his slender fingers across the phone screen, found the number again, and dialed it.
There is no way around it. There are so many women, it’s just so troublesome. I have to call to comfort them every day.
Especially for those who have not been seen for many days or who are pregnant, sweet words are indispensable.
For example, the five Hong Kong actresses who are still in San Francisco. Although they didn't say anything nice about me for not showing up for such a long time, they weren't too angry either.
However, it is not so easy to appease young ladies like the pregnant Peggy Adams.
Thinking about it now, Milo couldn't help but frown, with a look of headache on his face.
Fortunately, Milo suggested that she ask Haley if she had any questions.
With the pressure from her cousin, Miss Adams, who was made pregnant by Milo after just a few shots, was relatively obedient.
After the daily greetings, Milo's expression had become one of confusion.
He leaned back in his chair, spread his hands, and thought to himself, there is no way, if I want to experience different pleasures, my head will hurt.
However, thinking about how he had conquered so many goddesses one by one, his chest unconsciously straightened up slightly, and a look of pride appeared on his face.
Be it a lover, a person who gets what he wants, or a plaything, these are nothing more than the most wonderful annotations on his road to success and the most dazzling gem decoration on his crown. This is also the most instinctive and desired life in his heart.
As a successful person, he is qualified and capable of enjoying and controlling more resources, living the life he likes, and enjoying everything that wealth brings him.
He stood up and paced slowly in the study, his eyes full of confidence and satisfaction.
Looking at the various luxury goods and precious collections displayed in the study, it seemed as if they were medals of his success.
This is why career success is the pursuit of almost everyone in the world. It seems that those who do not pursue this will become losers who are content with their own place and have no desire to make progress.
Aren’t huge fortunes, superior social status, luxury cars, beautiful women, and mansions the ultimate goals of white-collar workers who are busy in the office day and night, and workers who are struggling on the front lines?
They were in the crowded subway, looking at their mobile phones, the screens showing advertisements for luxury villas and famous cars, their eyes revealing envy and desire.
And Milo has already stood at the top of their dreams.
And what happens once you reach such a height?
When all the restraints and shackles are gone, when wealth has given him the power to override the law, when he can revel day and night and his assets can become stronger and stronger, and he no longer needs to work hard, Milo has asked himself more than once, what's next? How should he spend his time next? He walked to the window, looking at the skyline in the distance and the bustling city view of Manhattan, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Whether he works or not, his wealth will grow the same way. Whether he disciplines himself or not, his life will be equally short. No one can restrain him. He can ignore all the rules and do whatever he wants.
Unlimited self-expansion makes people forget themselves, and human nature is fully exposed in this situation.
To be like the people on Wall Street where money is everything, who own 99% of America's wealth, taking drugs, partying and having promiscuous sex?
Or are you fearless and reckless, madly wasting your time, property and life with a cynical attitude?
He was also confused at that time. No matter what kind of life he led, he had the money to do it, because even if he was indulgent, his assets would still grow silently as he worked hard for one woman after another.
But he is a reborn person after all, and he has already set himself a "plan to dominate the five continents."
What Milo desires now is not just wealth itself, but eternal life! Of course, although he can hear that mysterious voice.
But Milo also knew very well that there was no extraordinary supernatural power in this world.
If someone reaches his social status, he would know something.
But the reality is that he never heard of anyone else except himself.
So the eternal life he wanted was not literal.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Milo knew very well that no matter how good his physique was, he could only live to a hundred years at best, and he didn't even know if he could live past a hundred and twenty.
Therefore, the eternal life he wanted was the eternal life of his own bloodline, his own name, and his own deeds.
It's a bit like the kind of plot that makes China's name go down in history.
But what he wanted was to prove his existence through his numerous and excellent descendants scattered all over the world.
After many years, he really died.
There will be many people around the world who will pay tribute to and remember him.
This is the kind of eternal life he wants.
Milo himself guessed that the reason why he had such thoughts was probably because of the background of his soul.
However, his goal of "eternal life" is still quite far away.
The oldest children, Lily and Rose, were less than three years old.
He believes that he will have to work hard for at least another 30 years.
This was the anchor he set for himself, so that he wouldn't be as unscrupulous as the celestial dragons of the same level!
For example, the three old guys who asked him to play golf a few days ago.
Yesterday he was invited to a small island in the Caribbean, saying that a batch of "new goods" had arrived.
Many people went to the island to play.
Although Milo was not a good person, he still refused.
There are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. Even though he seems to be having a lot of fun, Anxi Liu has already started to train him.
But compared with David and the others, Milo felt that he really was Paladin's favorite brother!
"Buzz buzz buzz ding--" The shaking prompt sound of the video window interrupted Milo's thoughts.
Milo walked quickly to the boss chair, sat down, reached out for the mouse, and clicked to connect the video call.
This is the latest video communication technology released by ITK.
Customers can use ITK's remote video conference room via the Internet on their computers.
Ordinary ones are free, but the signal may be leaked. If you want to ensure privacy, there will be no possibility of leakage.
It's very simple, just add money.
Although other large companies are not brave enough to use ITK's service for the time being.
But ITK was his, every time he did a video conference.
Internet experts from the Blackburn Foundation and top hackers will also be watching in the background.
It is the enterprise-level backend of ITK.
So for Milo, security is very guaranteed.
In front of the computer, Milo sat up straight, straightened his collar, and after enlarging the video window, the meeting officially began.
At this moment, in addition to the video screen, there was also a document on his computer screen.
The data is related to the world's major non-ferrous metals.
Data shows that in 1997, global copper production was around 18 million tons, and the global market was less than US$20 billion.
The world's top ten copper producers are Chile's National Copper Corporation, Mexico's Copper Corporation, Anglo American, Newmont Mining Corporation of the United States, First Quantum Minerals of Canada, BHP Mining of Australia, Southern Copper Company of the United States, Rio Tinto of the United Kingdom, BITCO of Australia and Antofagasta Mining of Chile.
It is difficult to match the top eleven copper producing countries with the top ten copper producers in the world. The reason is that small countries have no power. Copper production is basically mined by local branches of world mining giants, not by mining companies supported by their own governments.
Next is the aluminum market.
Last year, global aluminum production was around 12 million tons, and the United States alone produced 4.6 million tons, accounting for more than one-third, making it a major aluminum producer and consumer.
The global aluminum market is worth $30 billion.
"...Obviously, in copper. Our targets are mainly Chilean National Copper, Mexican Copper, Antofagasta Mining."
"They are caught in a national sovereign bond crisis. It is a relatively good opportunity to acquire them."
“But at the same time, there are many people who are targeting them just like us.”
"They all want to take advantage of the situation."
At this moment, the person speaking in the video conference was Shabote, the chief think tank of the Blackburn Foundation.
Today's video conference is for Milo to discuss with the financial forces currently scattered around the world the topic of taking advantage of the situation to acquire high-quality Latin American companies.
This is almost a compulsory course for American and European companies after every regional financial crisis.
For example, the Asian financial crisis two years ago and the subsequent Korean financial crisis. After this blow, all the Korean tycoons have now become Wall Street workers.
And now, Milo and his team have set their sights on these Latin American countries.
