Chapter 996 What to do if you have too much money?
On the 8th, as soon as the North American stock markets opened, the two housing indices fell rapidly by 98% after a brief rise, hitting the bottom. The entire stock market was in the red, and Wall Street was wailing everywhere.
However, the Wall Street elites have not yet experienced the cruelest world.
On the 15th, the Nth World Bank Joint Meeting of the North American Treasury Department ended. No world-class bank was willing to take the blame for Lehman, and Lehman Brothers, whose hopes were completely shattered, filed for bankruptcy protection.
At this time, the influence of the subprime mortgage crisis reached its peak. Countless Wall Street elites hid in corners and wailed and cried. Many even jumped off buildings or into the sea, using their last bit of stubbornness to commemorate their lost glory.
"How many?"
On Tuesday morning, Zhou Anan, who had no classes, came back from her morning run and sat lazily on the windowsill.
Basking in the sun and reading with his girlfriend, Zhou Anan's leisurely state of mind was completely shattered after he received a call from a financial genius girl. Incredible Zhou Anan asked back in astonishment.
“The total settlement is currently $8.86 billion, and once the settlement is completed this Friday, it is expected to reach $9.5 billion.”
“.”
Listening to Lu Xiangrong's voice, Zhou Anan could only hear the first one or two sentences clearly. She was a little distracted by the rest of the words and her head was rumbling.
He could estimate that the profits from this wave would be considerable, but he did not expect the profits to be so exaggerated.
Previously, he invested $500 million of his own money plus $200 million from Miss Yu and Miss Li, for a total cost of $700 million, but earned $9.5 billion, with a return ratio of 1:14.
Well, General Manager Feng’s cost of 10 million US dollars is almost negligible. The profit is only 140 million, which is a small amount of money.
According to the ratio of 5/7, he can get 95 times 5/7, which is 6.785 billion US dollars. After deducting the 10% team commission, it is 6.1065 billion US dollars.
Well, after deducting General Manager Feng's $122 million, the final amount of funds he can get is approximately $5.9845 billion.
Zhou Anan, holding a calculator on her mobile phone, looked at the final data with shaking hands, and accidentally lost the remainder of US$20 million of General Manager Feng.
Are you kidding? He helped the other party make 11 times the net profit, and he only charged $2 million for his hard work. What's wrong with that? It's completely reasonable.
The question is, if 5.9865 billion US dollars is converted into Chinese yuan at the current exchange rate of about 1 to 6.8, it would be 40.7082 billion Chinese yuan. How to spend so much money?
Buy breakfast and eat one and get one free without spending any money.
Did he tell all the customers while they were having breakfast that Mr. Zhou would pay for today's breakfast?
It's more than financial freedom, he has so much money that he can't spend it all.
Whatever you do, buy a sports car and save a sports car.
No, saving a sports car is too superficial, totally inconsistent with his personality, and such a waste.
In an instant, countless ways of spending money flashed through Zhou Anan's mind, but they were rejected one by one.
I have too much money, I don't know how to spend it, waiting online, urgent.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Mingxia, who was reading a book, heard the sound of keystrokes. She looked up at her boyfriend who was in a daze and asked curiously.
"It's okay, I'll make a call first."
Zhou Anan came back to his senses and picked up his phone. He found the number of the beautiful secretary and dialed it directly. He said quickly: "Prepare me a list of the top 500 companies in North America. Oh, they must be listed companies."
"OK."
After hearing the boss's inexplicable instructions, Director Huang was stunned for 0.01 seconds and answered simply and crisply.
Anyway, there were few times when her normal thinking could follow the boss's instructions. She just had to do what he asked. Asking so many questions would not increase her salary.
"Well, I'll double your bonus this year."
Seeing the beautiful secretary benefit so much, Zhou Anan, in a good mood, directly doubled her bonus.
No matter how much money it is, it is just a drop in the bucket for him who will soon have 40.7 billion yuan in liquid funds.
"Thank you, Boss."
Director Huang didn't expect that his year-end bonus, which was already as high as six figures, would inexplicably double. After being stunned for 0.05 seconds, he expressed his gratitude loudly.
After hanging up the phone, Director Huang immediately sent a first-priority work letter to several employees in the President's Office, requiring them to send the list of listed companies among the top 500 in North America to the big boss before the end of get off work today.
Haha, I can buy a few more new clothes for the New Year this year.
I heard that Mr. Wang was planning to open a high-end clothing store. She could go and patronize him when the time comes to do so to get closer to him, lest she, as the director of the president's office, lacks good judgment.
"Hahaha"
Putting down his phone, Zhou Anan picked up his girlfriend who was sitting on the windowsill, spun her around a few times, and bit her hard a few times to vent his inner excitement.
At this moment, all the pressure seemed to disappear.
The Yu family, the opponents, are nothing but clouds in front of huge wealth.
"Since you are so happy, how about treating the whole class to a meal?"
Feeling her boyfriend's excitement, Shi Mingxia, who had some guesses, did not ask any more questions. Instead, she cooperated with him in being affectionate, then leaned in his arms and made a suggestion.
They are now in their senior year and will begin a three-month internship next month. In the blink of an eye, a semester is about to pass, and there will not be many opportunities to show their close relationship in front of their classmates.
"Okay, send it to the group and I'll book a buffet at an international hotel."
After hearing his girlfriend's proposal, Zhou Anan thought it was a good idea and agreed without any hesitation.
While his girlfriend was sending the message, Zhou Anan called the customer service of Lucheng International Hotel and directly booked the buffet restaurant for lunch.
The difference between 90 buffet tickets and booking the entire buffet restaurant is only about ten thousand yuan, which is a drop in the bucket.
If he put 40.7 billion in the bank to earn interest, based on an annual interest rate of 3%, the interest would be nearly 4 million yuan a day, and it would be difficult for him to spend it honestly.
It’s a pity that TT doesn’t have the function of sending group red envelopes yet. It would be so cool if we could just send a group red envelope of 888888.
Have fun with the people, dear.
"Wow, Boss Zhou invited us to the International Hotel for a buffet lunch at noon."
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from the boys' dormitory 306, instantly waking up many boys who were still sleeping. Their hazy eyes quickly opened wide, and their confused minds woke up as quickly as possible.
"What?"
"International Hotel?"
"A 198 yuan buffet at the International Hotel?"
"What time is it now?"
"It's half past ten."
"Hurry up, the buffet starts at 11 o'clock. We haven't had breakfast yet, so we have to stand and walk out. The buffet at the International Hotel is 198 yuan per person. If you miss it, you will miss several days of meals."
"Yes, if you eat it, you earn it."
"Ah, I hate myself so much. Why did I have to eat supper so late last night? Ah."
"Wait, don't fight with me, I need to use my ultimate skill, it will only take ten seconds."
"Get up soon."
"Are you guys ready?"
"Almost done, two more minutes."
"It's almost 11 o'clock, the buffet is about to start."
"Right away."
Compared to the chaos in the three boys' dormitories, the girls' dormitory is much better.
As the most hardworking group of professional girls in the class of 2005, many of them had gotten up early to read books and surf the Internet. When they saw Shi Mingxia's notification in the class TT group, they hurried to put on light makeup.
Although except for a few girls who have boyfriends, most of the girls in the class have been single for three years, putting on makeup before going out is a basic skill, just in case they get out of being single one day.
As for why Boss Zhou invited us to dinner, no one asked.
The only rich boss in the class treats the whole class to a buffet. Does he need a reason?
"Mingxia, you see, they don't say it, but I don't know how much they envy you in their hearts."
Sitting next to her good friend, Wang Min, who had just picked up a plate of seafood, whispered to Shi Mingxia next to her, her eyes sweeping over the female classmates who were talking quietly.
“It’s okay.”
As for being envied, Shi Mingxia, who had experienced this for more than two years, didn't care at all and just ate the food in front of him.
It would be abnormal if you weren't envied.
This is all the result of her keen eye for talent. Others can be envious if they want.
"high."
Seeing his friend so calm, Wang Min quietly gave him a thumbs up and started a new round of elimination mode.
This 198 yuan buffet is really delicious.
"Boss Zhou, I'm already a senior now, when will you introduce me to a girlfriend from the student union?"
Wu Jian, who had eaten half full in just half an hour, smiled and asked Boss Zhou, who was sitting at the same big round table with them.
"Hey, there are so many single girls, why don't you pick one? You haven't even eaten the grass near your home, but you're already thinking about the grassland far away. Are you looking for something far away instead of something near?"
Pointing to the area where the girls in the class gathered, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.
These beasts, who have the intention but not the courage, are always eyeing those pretty girls in the student union and want them to be brought to their mouths. There are so many single girls in the class, but not one of them dares to make a move.
It's just like his previous life, all talk and no action, his YY is invincible.
"That's right, Wu Jian, this is a great opportunity, go for it."
Hearing Boss Zhou's teasing, Chen Yang and others in the same dormitory followed with a smile.
"No, no, the girls in my class study too hard, I can't catch up with them, and I don't want to buy Erguotou to drink."
Faced with this 'dangerous' proposal, Wu Jian waved his hands repeatedly.
"Get lost."
Chen Licong, who was teased again, cursed with a smile and ate the steak on the plate viciously.
He has rarely drunk Erguotou recently. He has confessed his feelings to all the girls in his class that he likes, and he has already finished all the alcohol he wanted to drink.
"As long as you can catch up with the girls in our class, I will give you a five-digit red envelope."
Zhou Anan felt more relaxed than ever before and didn't mind making a few more jokes.
"That's what you said."
Hearing the encouragement from Boss Zhou, Wu Jian slammed the table and shouted loudly with great momentum.
"As long as you can hold hands with any girl in the class and confirm your relationship today, I will give you two five-digit red envelopes."
Zhou Anan confirmed it with certainty while drinking seafood porridge calmly.
"Wu Jian, come up."
"Bitch, it's up to you."
"Wu Jian, don't forget to share some of the red envelope with your brothers. I only need 100."
"Wu Jian, we've been roommates for three years, so you should at least give me 250."
"Shit, hurry up, come on."
"Wu Jian, Boss Zhou has said so. I'll be embarrassed for you if you don't go."
"If it were me, I would definitely go for it. There's no loss if I fail."
A dozen boys enjoyed watching the fun and started to make a fuss, causing Wu Jian's cheeks to turn purple.
"I won't argue with you. I'm going to the bathroom first and I'll come back to fight you."
Faced with the menacing "encouragement", Wu Jian decided to use the last of the thirty-seven strategies. If he couldn't afford to provoke him, he couldn't afford to hide from him.
He, Wu Jian, is able to bend and stretch, and that is what a real man is.
"Huh?"
The boos from the boys attracted the attention of the girls nearby, but no one bothered to come over and ask.
Originally, Zhou Anan was afraid of hurting Wu Jian's self-esteem, but when she saw that he did not feel any discomfort after returning from the toilet, she felt relieved.
But thinking of this, Zhou Anan also became playful. She stood up and clapped her hands, and said to the whole class who were all looking at her, "I declare that if any of the couples in our class are together, I will give them an Audi as a gift on the wedding day."
"oh"
Upon hearing this explosive news, the whole class couldn't help but exclaim.
Although they don't have much idea about cars now, they have all heard of Audi as one of the three major brands. How can a car cost hundreds of thousands? How much is that?
Then, the boys' attention turned to Cheng Peng, and the girls' attention also turned to He Keyi.
In the entire class, Cheng Peng and He Keyi are the most stable couple right now, and have the greatest possibility of walking down the aisle.
Feeling that everyone's attention had shifted, Zhou Anan smiled knowingly.
If the trajectory of the previous life had been followed, Cheng Peng and He Keyi would have been the only two people in the class who made it to the end.
Among them, the most important factor was that He Keyi quit her job in her hometown and resolutely came to Chengpeng's city.
In other words, his seemingly grand promise may just be the cost of an Audi A6, which costs only about 300,000 yuan when picked up from the Audi 4S store in their hometown of Lizhou.
Of course, if his promise led other male and female classmates to change their original life trajectories, then it would not be his fault.
One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, and he still paid a high price, can you blame him???
"Xiao Xia, what's irritating your girlfriend today? She's so generous."
Wang Min, who was sitting next to Shi Mingxia, poked him twice with his fingers and asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Giving away luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at will, such a domineering move will surely win the hearts of many young girls.
"Why, isn't my boyfriend usually generous?"
Hearing his friend's question, Shi Mingxia raised his eyebrows and asked a question in return without giving a direct answer.
"Humph, what an enviable couple."
Wang Min opened his eyes wide and was speechless. He wanted to complain, but changed his words at the last minute.
If I continue to hang out with this good friend in the future, I must not say anything careless, and even have to be careful when I complain.
"Xiaoyan, I just grabbed this big lobster. I'll give you half of it."
Noticing that her best friend seemed distracted, Zheng Junli gave her half of the big lobster she had just grabbed from her plate.
As time goes by, some things are missed and there is no chance to make up for them.
"Thanks."
Li Yan came back to her senses and smiled gratefully at her best friend, but she felt that the lobster had no taste.
"Ahem, ahem, if I had known I would have eaten less steak and more seafood."
"Uh, I think I could use another lobster."
"I feel like I can save a little on dinner."
"Oh, it's my fault that I only ate half of the ticket."
"I think one-third of the ticket money is wasted, which is hateful."
Walking out of the cafeteria and watching the boys walking out supporting each other, Zhou Anan shook her head speechlessly.
"I'm running for the front"
The phone rang, Zhou Anan picked it up and took a look, then answered it and heard the pleasant voice of the female assistant of the Student Union: "Senior, do you want me to send you the speech for tonight's welcome party?"
“.”
