< Yi Kou Trading Priority Seat Set Record Again! >
Early in the morning, Lynch, who was sitting in the dining room, saw a maid in a miniskirt walking back and forth in front of him. From time to time, she would bend down to keep the room clean and tidy. It was just some simple housework, but it created a different atmosphere for her.
In fact, Lynch knew very well that this woman in her twenties wanted to have a more in-depth private conversation with him.
Five years ago, a beautiful woman, even if she didn't know anything, as long as she was beautiful enough, she could become a receptionist in a large company, an office secretary, or even a CEO's secretary.
But today, five years later, these women left their former positions, and because of their work in the past five years, they even lost some of their normal social work abilities.
But Lynch believed that most of them could live a good life. At least in the past five years, they also mastered some alternative survival skills.
Lynch withdrew his gaze from the maid's thin suspenders. As soon as he picked up the < Trading Paper >, he was immediately attracted to the third page.
The Bailey Federation had three major exchanges, namely "Yi Kou", "United", and "Shenghua". They were located in the Federation's ruling center, the economic center, and the capital of the southern state of Düsland, but the main business hall was in the Federation's capital.
Due to the limitations of information transmission, the three major exchanges jointly developed a more advanced information processing system in order to share more accurate data and trading information in a shorter period of time.
However, this system also had certain limitations, such as the legendary distance and so on. Therefore, the main business halls were basically placed together. As for the other business halls, there might be a short delay in the information, about 20 seconds to one minute.
The specific lag depended on the phone traffic of the entire Federation at that time. If there were not many people on the main line, the information would be updated faster.
But in general, people who really wanted to play financial games would choose to trade in the Federation's capital city, Buen.
The three major stock exchanges were located in the same district, which was why the urban planning district they were located in was known as the "Jewel on the Crown". The entire Federation, and even some of the rich and powerful capitalists outside of the Federation, gathered here and lived in some number games and worlds every day.
As long as you walked on this street, you could see the various forms of life.
Some people might be in their sixties or seventies, but their faces were still full of high spirits and the kind of calmness that looked at life with a smile.
Some people might be in their twenties or thirties, but they were already struggling. There was only a lethargy left on their faces that shouldn't be there.
This was a magical place. Countless people went crazy for some numbers, and countless people died early for these numbers …
If you wanted to become one of them and become the center of attention, it was very simple. You just had to have a trading seat in any of the three major trading houses.
Similarly, due to the limitations of information processing, the matchmaking of transactions was still done manually. This also meant that they could not process a large amount of transaction information at the same time. Therefore, the trading house set the scale of transactions.
It might seem stupid, but it could avoid any mistakes that might occur during the transaction to the greatest extent.
In the beginning, the three major banks didn't have too many strict requirements for the trading seats. But as more and more money flowed into the stock market, the three major exchanges began to limit the number of trading seats, which suddenly made the trading seats themselves an important resource.
Following the principle of no increase and transferability, the price of a trading seat soared from thirty to fifty thousand in the early years. Just yesterday afternoon, the priority trading seat of Shenghua Exchange was sold for a sky-high price of one million, which directly overshadowed the 970,000 set by Lynch two months before he transmigrated. It became a new legend.
The reason why the price of a trading seat could be so high was actually related to the number of trading seats. Even if ordinary people had stock accounts, even if they stood in the exchange, they were just bystanders.
If they wanted to operate the stock, they first needed their own traders to handle the trading for them.
But the problem was that, to put it in a slightly exaggerated way, the whole world's eyes were fixed on this exchange. The number of trading seats and traders at the trading seats was very limited. Why would they trade for an ordinary person?
Maybe in the beginning, they would do so. But with the rise of major brokerage companies and financial companies, people saw huge business opportunities here, and ordinary people were gradually driven out of the exchange.
If an ordinary person wanted to trade stocks, they would first have to find a stockbroker. The brokerage company behind the stockbroker would have trading seats in the three major banks. They would classify the ordinary person according to the amount of investment they made. Then, they would arrange different resources and take a commission.
Now, almost sixty percent of the trading seats of the three major banks were firmly in the hands of the stockbroker companies.
For example, the priority trading seat that was sold yesterday was bought by a company called "Lebaile Financial Management Company."
The priority trading seat had the priority to matchmake. The faster the matchmaking speed, the more money they could make, or reduce losses as much as possible.
Whether a stockbroker company had the strength or not depended on how many priority trading seats they had.
It was a crazy era!
Lynch looked at the newspaper that was almost full of praises for the financial prosperity of the Bailey Federation. His face couldn't help but show some ridicule. After the collapse of the physical industry completely swept the country, a scene like today's would be hard to see in a short time.
If the financial industry was the superstructure, then the physical industry was the lower foundation. Now that the damage of the lower foundation was getting more and more serious, the bigger the superstructure was, the higher the risk of collapse!
In addition, the world's wars had stopped. Some of the international hot money that entered the Bailey Federation during the war began to gradually withdraw, and the speed of withdrawal was getting faster and faster. The financial crisis of the Bailey Federation was coming.
This was a foreseeable fact. Compared to the political and economic benefits of rebuilding a country, playing this kind of high-risk financial game in the Bailey Federation was obviously no longer the best choice in the current international situation.
In the past, people chose the Bailey Federation as a safe haven because the economic development here was rapid, and at the same time, it was not a participating country. People didn't need to worry that the things they bought would be destroyed in one shot, and they didn't need to worry that their funds would become the spoils of war.
But now that there was a better choice, they wouldn't stay here, just like before when they transferred money to the Federation instead of supporting the war outside the country.
Capital and capitalists had always been shameless and had no stance. The only thing that could be called a stance was the desire for profit.
As for the other things, they couldn't become obstacles to their pursuit of the biggest profit.
In the past, they pursued the Federation, but soon they would be even more ruthless and leave.
As for the funds that they took away to build a city in the sky, whether it would affect the city in the sky or not, they probably wouldn't care.
Lynch put down the newspaper, picked up a glass of milk, and took a sip. It was freshly milked, and it was still slightly hot.
The maid didn't seem to understand why Lynch liked to drink warm milk. Naturally, she couldn't feel the impact of the rich milk on the taste buds. There was also a bit of a … fishy smell.
Freshly milked milk that hadn't been processed was actually not as perfect as some people imagined. The fishy smell and the lack of processing to desensitize fresh milk would make many people uncomfortable. Fortunately, Lynch wasn't that kind of person.
He was thinking that maybe after the financial collapse, he could go to the exchange and reap a wave of trading seats.
The seats that could be sold for a million this year, after the stocks became scrap paper, how much would they be worth?
Five thousand?
Or ten thousand?
This was a terrifying amount of resources. Perhaps it would take some time for them to become valuable again, but it wouldn't take more than ten years. This was a very suitable investment.
What's more, Bu Payne was the core of the Bailey Federation. Lynch never thought that he would stay in Saibin for the rest of his life. He wanted to go to the most prosperous place in the world, take a piss, and leave his scent. At least, he wanted to prove that he had been there!
