America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 215 Let's Live

  Looking at Charlize, I saw a pitiful expression.

  Abel was in a complicated mood at the moment.

  Even he himself can't tell how he feels now.

  Remorse? accurate? perturbed? Excited? dissatisfied? depressed? excited?

   All in all a little bit.

   "call"

   He took a deep breath.

  He realized that his reaction just now might have been a little too extreme.

   "What about you?" Abel said softly, he looked at Charlize:

   "Do you want to give birth? Have you ever thought that there is a high probability that we will not be able to get married. My family, my career, and my personal reasons do not support me to marry you."

  Although there is such a psychological preparation.

  Charlize's heart was still trembling, and she only felt a little pain.

   Fortunately, she already knew that this is a bastard.

  A **** who has the ability to cover her life and make her live better than anyone else.

  Charlize said stubbornly:

   "I will not marry. Ever since my mother brought me out of South Africa, I swore I would never marry again in my life!"

  Abel pouted.

   Sounds nice.

  In the parallel time and space, although you got married relatively late.

   But didn’t they get married in the end?

   And she has three children in her life, and has adopted multiple children besides her own.

   But he would not say such words.

  He also felt that it might be Charlize at that time, and her at this time.

  Psychology and experience should be different.

   This Charlize, who now belongs to him, has just turned twenty-five after the new year.

  The one who gave birth to three children in a row in parallel time and space is already in her forties.

  Different experiences, different experiences, and different attitudes towards life.

  Abel thought for a while, and then he said calmly:

   "You can have it if you want. The baby will be Smith too."

   "Now I give you two options, one is to go to Australia, give birth to a child and then come back when it calms down. The other is to stay here and give birth here."

  After the sudden mental shock of a child, Abel quickly calmed down.

  He quickly made a variety of judgments based on his emotions and reason.

  Finally, among these judgments, he chose the decision he thought was appropriate.

   "I will after this child is born. Form a family trust for you."

   "This family trust will guarantee your basic living expenses every year."

   "In addition, the "contract" you originally signed also needs to be replaced."

   "I remember that you originally signed a mid-term contract, but now it must be changed to a long-term, even permanent."

"any questions?"

  Looking at him, he seemed to be discussing business and discussing his career.

   Charlize said it was impossible not to be sad.

  She originally had extravagant hopes, otherwise she would not have taken such a big risk.

  In her imagination, there are no more than three possibilities: upper, middle and lower.

  Above, of course Abel married her to get started.

   This is the most unlikely, but what if?

  Charlize is willing to take a chance.

In   , this is what Abel looks like now.

  Charlize felt that he would upgrade his treatment, and at the same time have more restrictions on himself.

  Next, let yourself give birth to the child, and then give yourself a sum of money to drive yourself away.

  Charlize is most worried about this, she is not worried that Abel will not have children.

  Because in getting along with Abel, and in his daily performance.

  Charlize has long judged that this man is a guy who attaches great importance to family affection and the people around him.

  Different from ordinary rich men, he attaches great importance to family.

  It is more like South American and Asian than American.

  Because in the world, people in these two regions attach so much importance to their families.

  Based on this judgment, Charlize determined that there was a high probability that he would let him give birth to this child.

   This prompted Charlize to be willing to take a big risk to carry out this thing that she had been thinking about for more than two months.

  Now the choice Abel gives her is what Charlize thinks about.

  Charlize thought.

   This is already a very good choice for myself.

  She did not refuse, but bowed her head and said softly:

   "I choose to listen to your arrangements. I can go where you want me to go."

   "But I think after I give birth, I can still be his mother, and I can continue to act."

  At this time, Charlize looked very humble.

  When he said these words, his tone was full of emotion.

   There is a part of her true feelings, but more of her trying to play her acting skills.

  She knew that this was what this man liked the most.

"Hey"

   "Of course you will be the mother of your child. No one can change that."

  Charlize was ecstatic when she heard this sentence.

  Mother of a child named Smith?

  Is there any better guarantee than this?

   She was so happy.

  But on the surface, she naturally still looked a little sad.

   Then Charlize heard him sigh again, and say again:

   "As for acting, it's okay after the child is one year old. But I will impose more restrictions on you, can you accept it?"

   "Okay." Charlize was full of joy, as she basically got what she wanted.

   Except for the most extravagant one.

  She is full of joy, but she is still very depressed on the surface:

   "I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you. As long as you don't sink me to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean."

"Hey"

  She heard him sigh again, then came over and hugged herself.

   Charlize immediately hugged him back, then laid her head on his broad shoulders, weeping softly.

   Soon, she realized that Abel was hugging her tightly.

   This made Charlize happy, thankful that she made the right bet!

  This lifetime meal ticket, it seems that I have firmly grasped it!

   After the two separated, Abel reached out and wiped away the tears on her beautiful face.

   "That's it. You raise your baby here first. I'll make arrangements, and you can choose later. It doesn't matter whether you want to stay in the United States or go abroad to raise your baby."

   "Hmm," Charlize responded lightly.

   "You should take a rest first. Sleep for a while." Abel gently put Charlize down on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

   Then kissed her on the forehead, and he turned to leave.

   Walking out of the door, Abel closed the door and leaned against the door to think quietly.

   In front of him, stood two bodyguard captains.

  Edward and Donnie.

  Both of them knew that the boss was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to disturb him.

   Another thing.

  As the captain of the rock security male and female bodyguards, the two also have certain responsibilities.

  Edward and Donnie, now on the young and handsome face of the boss.

  See micro-expression emotions such as entanglement, anger and anticipation.

   Neither of them dared to speak, and even their own breathing was controlled and became very slight.

   After a long time.

  Maybe ten minutes or so.

  Abel finally sighed.

   He finally spoke.

   "Donnie, arrange your staff and protect Charlize well."

  Abel said:

   "In addition, the relevant teams, the medical teams related to pregnant women and babies, should also be arranged."

   "Okay." Donnie said quickly.

   "Edward. Inform the Special Women's Protection Unit of Rock Security."

  Abel looked at Edward:

   "What happened to Charlize is no exception. If this kind of neglect of duty happens again. Then...let all of them go to Alaska to grow potatoes."

   "I hate anything out of control!"

  Edward's heart tightened. It was the first time he saw such an angry and serious expression on the boss's face.

  Edward hurriedly said:

   "Okay, and I also promise that this kind of thing will never happen again!"

   "That would be great. Let's go, I suddenly miss New York a little bit."

  Abel closed his eyes, opened them after a few seconds, and walked forward while talking.

  Edward quickly followed.

  Donnie will stay and leave after completing the boss's instructions.

   March 8, 2001.

  Abel finally returned to New York.

   At this time, the coldest time in New York has passed.

  The city of the Big Apple began to warm up, and everything began to recover.

  Same as last time, he was a little depressed when he returned to New York.

  Abel is depressed, and he will make more people depressed.

   So on the second day of his return to New York.

  Smith Capital entered the fourth safe house status.

  This time it was the fourth and third floors of the entire Smith Building, all of which were only allowed in and out.

  The first and second floors are open for business and operating normally.

  Therefore, the number of traders this time has changed from more than one hundred people last time to a total of two hundred and eighty people.

   Two hundred and eighty traders, starting from this day, before the end of the safe house state.

   will not be allowed to leave halfway.

  Even if they get sick halfway, the treatment will take place at their posts.

  Compared to the previous safe house status.

  Smith Capital, which already has experience, is now more familiar with its operations.

  The third and fourth floors, both floors are covered in electronic barriers.

   Except for physical and manual transportation, other ways of contacting the outside world have been interrupted.

  In addition, there are many restrictions on the network routes and telephone routes that are subject to internal monitoring.

   This is used in transactions.

   And when this order was issued, the traders who were selected were all very excited.

  Wall Street already has the term "Smith Safe House."

  In Wall Street, everyone said that if Smith Capital opened the safe house state.

   Then everyone should be careful.

  Because of Smith Capital, it may start cutting flesh on everyone again!

   This is for other firms outside of Smith Capital.

  But for Smith Capital's own employees, especially the selected traders.

   Then this is a good thing to celebrate.

  In the trading hall on the third floor.

  Before work starts.

  A former employee of Smith Capital.

   Excitedly bragging to the other three traders who surrounded him, who had just joined and were still in the internship period.

  “.Hey, guys. Do you want to know, in the last safe house state. How much money did we traders make?”

   What he said has also become a legend among ordinary wage earners on Wall Street.

  It is said that the trader who is said to be able to work in the Smith Capital safe house every time, after the complete house state is over.

   Every trader has a bonus of more than 100,000 US dollars.

   It is said that as long as you have participated in Smith's safe house three times, it is just a bonus.

   It is worth their wages for two or three years!

  Listening to the bragging of the veteran, a newcomer flattered and said:

   "Williams, how many are there? We are all curious, we are all colleagues now, just tell us."

   Looking at the eager eyes of several people, Williams stretched out three fingers.

   "Thirty thousand dollars?" The newcomer who spoke just now was surprised.

   Don't think that a $30,000 bonus is considered small on Wall Street.

   Just the opposite.

  The income of ordinary wage earners on Wall Street is actually not that high.

  Among the twenty highest-paid occupations in the United States, ordinary Wall Street practitioners don't even rank in the top twenty.

   The twentieth place is judges and magistrates, with a median annual income of around $140,000.

  An ordinary Wall Street analyst or trader usually starts at around $50,000 when he first enters Wall Street.

  This is the annual salary!

  After 10 years, the salary will reach its peak. Generally, the basic salary is 100,000 US dollars, plus 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars in bonuses, and the total annual income is about 120,000 US dollars.

   This is already an old-fashioned Wall Street wage earner.

  At that time, Smith Capital recruited the first part of employees.

  Most of them are Wall Street wage earners at this income level.

  Smith Capital expanded this time, with 596 employees.

   There are at least 400 people, and before entering the company, they also existed in this level.

  In Wall Street.

  Generally speaking, the income growth is the fastest in the first five years, increasing at a rate of 10% to 15% per year. If you change jobs every two years, your salary will double after five or six years.

  This is the income of ordinary, excellent-level Wall Street wage earners.

Of course.

   This class is the lowest class on Wall Street, only a little better than interns.

  Wall Street's real attraction and income are mainly in the middle and upper classes.

   Above the middle and upper levels, they are basically excellent investment managers.

  Like the group of more than 20,000 "vice presidents" at Goldman Sachs, the group with better performance.

   Their annual income can reach about 500,000-5 million US dollars.

  The reason why the gap is so large is because this class no longer relies on salary to make money.

  They rely on bonuses and commissions.

   Above this, it is already the real upper echelon of Wall Street.

   Those managements, big and small, even the president and general manager of the company.

  In 2000, Wall Street's No. 1 income was Richard Fuld.

   This Wall Street bulldog received an annual salary, bonuses and dividends of US$45 million at Lehman Brothers last year.

   This top-level income is basically the best in the American wage earners.

  During this period, it can be compared with the wages of Wall Street's top wage earners.

   Last year, Nasdaq hadn’t broken the previous leaders of Internet companies.

   In fact, except for the upper middle class.

  The income of most ordinary employees on Wall Street does not exceed the annual income of 200,000 US dollars.

   Those who can get more than the average bonus are not executives above MD (director, manager).

  It is a big-name trader, famous-brand analyst or fund manager.

  Their annual red envelopes are easily millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars.

   And these people are less than 2% of the total number of Wall Street.

  In fact, ordinary employees on Wall Street.

  If it is calculated by unit hours, it is not much more than the same professional people in other industries.

   Coupled with the huge pressure of work on Wall Street.

  These bonuses are simply not worth the candle.

   Not to mention the turbulent working environment on Wall Street, the bonuses of ordinary employees cannot be guaranteed.

  Unlucky, the financial tsunami may also reduce salary.

   Bonuses sometimes become severance pay when the economy is down.

  So Smith Capital, once in a safe house state, can give a trader a bonus of 30,000 US dollars.

  That is the only generosity in Wall Street.

  But Williams snorted: "How could it be so low! I was the team leader at the time, and there were ten people in our group!"

   "We are responsible for controlling 50 accounts, five for each person!"

   "I got three hundred thousand dollars! Three hundred thousand! Listen, the others got one hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand!"

  Hearing the number Williams said, several rookies were a little dumbfounded.

  The newcomer who kept talking stupidly asked:

   "Only in the safe house state, responsible for executing the investment manager's orders, buying and selling mechanically with conditions, can you get so much money afterwards?"

   "Yes. Just listen to the orders of Mellon's general manager and buy and sell according to the numerical conditions set by her to close positions." Williams said:

   "And Manager Mellon is directly under the command of our king! Our king Smith, he is our real brain, and we are his tools, his software in the capital market!"

   After receiving confirmation from Williams, several new traders looked at each other in blank dismay.

  This. Isn’t this something that freshly graduated interns majoring in finance can do?

   After doing this for a few days, there is such a terrifying bonus?

   It is even an exaggeration to say that any American with a high school diploma or above has a normal IQ.

   After learning the operation for about half a month, it is estimated that they can execute this level of operation commands.

  Never use subjective kinetic energy, and don’t need to judge and analyze by yourself.

   This is really not difficult.

   Just like that, there is such an exaggerated bonus?

  The newcomers are a little numb.

   But at the same time, each one is excited and hard to control.

  Because of this kind of incomparable happiness, it has now fallen on them.

  As long as they can complete the instructions from above, doesn't that mean they also have the opportunity to get such a generous bonus?

   Haven’t officially entered the market yet, 280 Smith Capital traders.

  Already excited because of the possible generous bonuses.

  Fourth floor, in Abel's office.

  The left and right walls here are also arranged as screen walls, covered with liquid crystal displays that have just been released for a long time.

  These LCD monitors are displaying real-time product information from various financial markets around the world.

  David Mellon and another deputy manager of the investment department, a white man named Jason who had just been recruited, were waiting here.

  Both are excited.

  David Mellon is excited about another big move.

  Jason was excited because he could see the actual operation of "The King", "Finance Moses", and "Wolf of Wall Street" for the first time.

  Abel himself stood in front of the screen wall.

   If you pay attention to his eyes at this time.

  You will find that his sight is mainly focused on gold and silver, two precious metal futures.

   What Abel is looking at is London Gold, which he has invested many times.

  2001 now.

  Currently London Gold is at 235.55.

   This position also represents an ounce of gold price of $235.55.

  Being in the industry for more than a year.

   Even without talent, Abel can already understand the market.

  Now in the daily chart of London gold, it can be seen that the 20 moving average and the 0 moving average have formed a golden cross.

  And the daily K-line of London Gold is oscillating in a large box of 500 points.

   There are 5 moving averages, 10 moving averages, and 20 moving averages intertwined inside this box!

   They are intertwined with each other.

  London gold’s daily K-line also shuttles among these three moving averages. London gold has recently risen sharply and sometimes fallen sharply, which is related to this.

  But although he can understand it, if he is to rely on this knowledge to make transactions.

  Abel felt that he would suffer a lot.

  Because of this knowledge, people who can understand these candlestick charts.

   On this planet, there may be tens of millions of people.

  But among so many people, there may not even be a thousand people who can make money from it.

  Abel felt that he was not among the thousand people.

   Fortunately, he is a talented person.

  His talent told him that London Gold was brewing a small bull market.

  London Gold refers to a trading product provided by the London International Financial Futures Exchange.

   It is a 400-ounce gold brick with a purity of 99.5% stored in the underground vault of the City of London.

  London gold is not a kind of gold, but a way of precious metal margin trading.

   Named for its origin in London, it has a history of more than 200 years in the international market. It is the most popular gold investment method in the market and is widely sought after by investors and speculators.

  Because of its representativeness, London Gold is basically the representative of spot gold in precious metal futures.

  The price of gold in this market is quoted according to the international market conditions and has global circulation.

   Every day in the world, the trading volume of gold is calculated in trillions of dollars.

  The plate is so huge that no consortium or institution can artificially manipulate such a huge market.

  Unless the big powers end, and only those one or two big powers have such capabilities.

  Talent told Abel that now is an opportunity to build a long position in London Gold.

  It will have a large increase in the short term, and then it will fall back in May and June.

  Normally, it stays that way because of the weak economy.

   But this year, there will be an international super black swan.

  The black swan will cause global funds to generate risk aversion.

  At that time, it will stimulate a super bull market in gold.

  Abel’s approach is very simple. What he wants is to make a fortune in this wave of bull market.

  Continue to raise funds and prepare to welcome the arrival of the big bull market!

   In this small bull market, there are only about 300 points of profit.

  How much money you can make depends on how many long positions Smith Capital can establish around 235.55.

  Thinking of this, the king of Smith Capital directly issued an order.

  Unlimited opening of positions before 240.00, and slow suppression after 240.00.

  After a week, it doesn't matter what the market is.

   Then start closing positions before the end of the month.

  Of course, he didn't say when to close the position later.

   When the time is up, he will naturally let David start to close the position.
