Chapter 203: ATMs
Can you make money from being born again?
Absolutely.
For example, if it is July 2014 and Han Xuan buys a put option on Nymex crude oil at $70 per barrel in the middle of the year, the strike price is 1 cent.
After five months, the premium for this option can rise to $12.34, with a return of 123,000% in five months.
Of course, this requires a complete timeline, and the stock market is too volatile to complete the operation.
If Han Xuansheng was born in a civilian family, it would take him more than ten years of capital accumulation in the early stage, and he might be able to become a small rich man by his own efforts when he grows up, but it is unlikely that he will reach the top of the world.
But his grandfather's name is now Han Qi, and he is now the richest man in China.
This year, Forbes did not rank on the rich list, and Americans have their eyes on Bill Gates in the flash.
thinks that he can easily win the title of the world's richest man this year with his shares in Microsoft, but in fact, countless invisible rich people are hiding on the side to steal fun and make a fortune.
Old Man Han, who can make New York Mayor Rudy come over to support the scene, is also one of them.
Seeing too many reporters at the scene, he took off his suit in the car, rolled up his sleeves, and took his grandson shopping like an ordinary Chinese old man, getting out of the car and blending into the crowd.
The roadside is full of luxury cars, and the Audi A8 does not stand out, which also means that many rich people came over today.
Due to the urban heat island effect, temperatures in New York are always one or two degrees warmer than the surrounding area, especially in the summer.
Standing on the podium, Rudy praised how many people can be employed, facilitate the lives of residents, and stimulate local economic growth. It's red-faced.
At the end of the conversation, it was suggested that SOS Group was in contact with City Hall to build the world's first skyscraper in Manhattan.
The height of 500 meters came out of his mouth and became 700 meters, and he asked the residents at the site if they could reduce some of the land purchase price to make this idea a reality.
Cheers rang out.
As in speculation, they don't care about this "meagre" benefit. Give it up in person.
When the local TV station broadcasts the news and its influence continues to expand, and then through the word of mouth, it will only be remembered that Manhattan is going to add another high-rise building, and no one will think that the real beneficiary behind the scenes, Han Xuan, will actually make hundreds of millions of dollars from it.
Even if there were, it would be overwhelmed by the waves.
There will always be only a small number of people who can see clearly, and most of this small part will keep their mouths shut tightly......
Step into Sotheby's.
Not counting the people out there. Five auction rooms are full, and the entire Bronx is divided into five sections, with places allocated according to the number of locals.
The initial deposit for joining the purchase of goods is fixed, 30,000 US dollars per store, and handed over to Sotheby's after being auctioned, such a large amount of cash is enough to eliminate troublemakers fishing in troubled waters.
"Rudy, how can he be so enthusiastic about dealing with our land purchases. "The old man saw that there were no empty seats. I also added a lot temporarily, and went out to the box on the second floor.
Han Xuan said disdainfully: "I ran into a deal of collusion between politics and business. You're gagging me. ”
"Tell me about it. Instantly figured out the doorway inside, and the boy's grandfather asked funny.
"There aren't many opportunities like this, and it should be on a golf course, which is vast and not easy for eavesdroppers to hide. ”
"Yo, you've got a lot of experience. ”
Han Xuan said funny. Dodging his grandfather's outstretched hand, he continued: "Koch wants to reduce New York's corporate income tax and personal income tax, and they use their position in the Republican Party to help Rudy fight for rights. ”
"If the sugar is given to you, you will eat it, and the others will pretend not to know. The old man was silent. All the procedures for buying land are legal, and no one can find fault with it.
Han Xuan nodded and walked into the box under the guidance of the waiter.
Through the glass, you can see the panoramic view of the auction room below, the air conditioning is on, some fruit bowls and desserts are placed on the table, and champagne is placed diagonally in a silver iron bucket, and the ice cubes inside are emitting white cold air.
SOS employees are showing them slides about the entire franchise process.
Efforts have been made to benefit prospects, attracting people from the audience to talk to each other, focusing on product transit and logistics channels, and explaining what can be sold.
In addition to daily necessities, the franchise stores also sell coffee, beverages and fast food products 24 hours a day, and the SOS Group has established food processing plants in various states across the United States to produce bread, sandwiches, hot dogs, cheese and other hot fast food.
Partnered with Hawaii Dole Foods, who provide the best fruits and vegetables, in addition to selling some non-illegal drugs for the convenience of residents.
Han Xuanjin listened with relish.
He only proposed a general direction, but he didn't expect it to be optimized like this by them, nodded with satisfaction, and asked: "Those logistics transfer stations and food processing plants are still under construction, where are these pictures from?"
"I built it on the outskirts of New York City temporarily, so I took a few photos of it first, and when they went back and chose the address to renovate it, I could almost put it into use.
The construction teams in various states are working overtime, 10 hours a day, which is quite fast, but the cost is too great. The old man looked at the audience and said.
"By the way, when the acquisition of East West Bank is completed, ATMs can be installed in these stores, and thousands of franchise stores across the United States, wow"
Too lazy to be shocked, silent for a few seconds, the old man said: "East West Bank is yours, SOS Group is mine, you can put it if you want, give money." ”
“…… It's not just me, Visa financial cards can be used, you go to those banks to ask for sponsorship, I think they are 10,000 willing, if they don't agree, East West Bank will come and monopolize the market to make huge profits.
The owner of the franchise store will also be happy to see this situation, as long as a little profit is shared with them, I will help you out, and East West Bank will be free. ”
Han Xuan didn't answer after speaking, turned his head to look over, and the old man was taking out his mobile phone from his bag, pressing the number and putting it to his ear.
When he got through, he said, "Joseph, add one more item, there will be ATMs in the store, and we are in contact with major banks." ”
"Shameless, thief!"
"Stealing ideas is not stealing, I can only say that I am learning from it, I am stupid, can you do a good job in the bank, otherwise I will help you take care of it?"
"No, I don't understand, some people do, like Sebastian who used to work at Citibank. ”
"Look at your stingy appearance, Sebastian manages the company well, but he is not familiar with finance, and now the CEO of East West Bank is not capable enough, I will help you find someone again, you pay me the money for hiring a headhunter......"
The employee who told the planner at the bottom of the box looked back when he heard the shout, said sorry and walked off the stage, and came back after two minutes, explaining the ATM in full.
Nowadays, Wal-Mart has ATMs, which can only withdraw money by themselves, and the major branches of SOS convenience stores also have them, and other deposits and withdrawals can only go to the bank, which is very troublesome.
Those people in the audience immediately understood the business opportunities inside, and there were many people entering the store, which meant that there were many people who bought something by the way.
In the box, Han Xuan rolled his eyes, reached out and pinched a piece of watermelon and threw it into his mouth.
At the end of the slideshow, the auctioneer came to the stage, and he held the microphone and said: "I have been an auctioneer for more than 20 years, selling antiques, real estate, and classic cars all over the world. ”
The helpless tone provoked a burst of laughter. (To be continued.) )
