America's Road to Fame

Chapter 13 Ivanta's Invitation

When Joss came to William Chen's office, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face. He held a newly printed form in his hand, handed it to William Chen, and then told him about the stock operation during this period. , and the final result.

Chen Weilian didn't care about the specific operation, just listened roughly, compared the table, and knew it well.What he is most concerned about now is the return on investing in stocks this time.

This time William Chen invested a total of 7000 million US dollars in the stock market, but the largest part of the income was brought by the DryShips stock.Joss invested US$500 million in this stock. Initially, the stock price of DryShips was around US$0.3, but the transaction was sluggish. The daily trading volume can be said to be very low. Therefore, even if only US$500 million was invested to build a position, the final The average price of holdings has been pushed up to around $1.

And the stock of DryShips did reach the highest price of 102 US dollars today, but when Joss started to liquidate this stock, he still lowered the price of this stock by a lot, almost to the extent of cutting in half, and Joss saw the situation. Wonderful, I suspended the operation of this stock.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, a lot of investors poured into this monster stock, which continued to push up the stock price. Finally, the average price of this stock was around $80.So the $500 million invested in this stock turned out to be $4 million.

William Chen also found out two stocks in the report of Eye of the Future, and the circulation of these two stocks was much larger, so he invested a total of 3000 million US dollars in these two stocks. In the end, half of these two stocks Months brought a 2.2x gain, turning $3000 million into $9600 million.

In the end, there was another US$3500 million, which was invested in potential stocks in the shipping sector selected by Joss. These funds also brought 1.3 times the income, and finally these funds became US$8050 million.

In this way, William Chen’s final capital balance is US$5.765 million. However, investing in stocks in the United States has capital gains tax, especially for holding shares for less than one year. The taxes and fees are relatively high. After tax, he can get US$4.752 million.

Among them, US$20 was the commission of Joss's team, and then William Chen decided on the spot to reward Joss' trading team with US$300 million, of which Joss could get US$100 million, while the rest of the team would get 50 each.After hearing the news, Joss and the team members were naturally very excited. They might not be able to earn this money in a year.

The bonus of 300 million US dollars is already very generous by William Chen, because in this trade, Joss's team is more about executing operations, and most of the specific stock selection is given to them by William Chen.And Joss also played some role in it, so he got a bonus of 100 million US dollars.

Of course, the 300 million and 20 commissions can only be obtained at the end of the month, after their team's contract expires.Now William Chen is more concerned about what rewards he will get in the future bank's novice investment tasks for the investment he has completed this time?

However, when he opened the panel of Future Bank, he saw on the [Events] page that the activity of [Investment Rewards for Newcomers] was still in progress and he could not claim the rewards. Count it as an investment.So he can only wait until the funds in the stock account reach the bank account and then see what happens.

At this time, Chen Weilian's phone rang, and he answered it because it was an unfamiliar call.

"Hello, William, I'm Ivanta." William Chen's slightly familiar voice came over the phone, but unexpectedly it was Ivanta.

"Hello, Ivanta, I'm glad to receive your call. What's the matter?"

"There were too many people at the party that day, so I didn't have a chance to have a good chat. Will you have time later? I made a reservation at the Per Se restaurant and hope to chat with you. I haven't seen you for many years." On the phone, Ivanta told Chen William sent an invitation.

"Just the two of us? Ivanta, you know my recent situation, and I don't want to affect you." William Chen naturally didn't think that Ivanta had any thoughts about him. He thought that Garrett found him a week ago There is a faint suspicion in my heart.

"It's nothing, we're just friends reminiscing about the past, why do you care so much about what other people say?" Ivanta's voice was soft, and it always sounded charming.

"Since you can think so, Ivanta, thank you for your invitation, what time is it?"

Last time at the party, I just met briefly and didn't talk too much.Although William Chen believed that Ivanta's invitation this time might have something to do with Garrett's desire to acquire Building 666 mentioned last week, it was still an opportunity for the two to learn more about it. Not to mention, Ivanta itself is still very attractive to William Chen, so he doesn't mind accepting the invitation and see what she will say then.

After returning home to take a shower, William Chen changed his clothes. When he looked at the closet, he once again felt that his predecessor might be related to the entertainment industry, and most of the clothes were fancy. This style is not what William Chen likes now.

In his previous life, he was used to business attire. Even if he usually wears some casual clothes, they are usually more basic, and there are no clothes that are too flashy. If you like, go buy some clothes and come back.

In the end, he chose a formal suit that he didn't have much in his closet, and drove to the Time Warner Building.The Per Se restaurant that Ivanta met with him this time is a very famous top restaurant in New York and a member of the Seven Star Club of New York restaurants.

The so-called Seven-Star Club is the dual evaluation of Michelin three stars and New York Times four stars.The restaurant is not far from William Chen's home, on the fourth floor of the Time Warner Building, on the side of Central Park.

The popularity of this restaurant can be seen from one thing. Ordinary people come to Per Se to eat, and they need to make a reservation for the next month's meal on the 1st of each month, but people with an identity like Ivanta Celebrities will naturally have a lot of preferential treatment, and they don't really need to be booked one month in advance.

William Chen deliberately arrived at the restaurant 10 minutes earlier than the agreed time. At the reserved seat, Ivanta was already sitting there. She was looking at the scenery of Central Park outside the window with her chin resting on her hands. The whole movement was very elegant.

"Ivanta, I'm sorry, I'm late." William Chen walked in front of her, talked, and sat opposite the blonde beauty.

"No, I came here ahead of time, and I just arrived." Ivanta moved her delicate arm away from the table, glanced at the delicate watch on her hand, and said with a smile: "Today is my appointment." , so I didn’t want to be too rude, so I came here earlier.”

"Thank you for your invitation today, Ivanta. Although we met a few years ago, I have to say that you are getting more and more beautiful."

Hearing Chen William's praise, Ivanta smiled coquettishly. She looked at the handsome and outrageous young man in front of her. Her short black hair was a little messy, but somehow layered. Her skin was not as pale as the traditional aesthetic, because Half of the body is of Chinese descent, with a slightly wheat-colored feeling, which gives people a sense of health.

His pupils were blue like the clearest gemstones, obviously coming from his mother whose beauty was still passed down from generation to generation.At this time, he was wearing a well-fitting suit, with a tall and straight figure, giving people a sense of elegance.

Every time I see William Chen, Ivanta can't help but secretly admire that God gave too much preference when creating this work.

She always has to constantly use the other party's reports to remind herself that the man in front of her who will fascinate people without knowing it is a complete prodigal son and not a good match for her. Only in this way can Ivanta A growing affection for each other.

"What's more surprising is you, William. You were so exquisite before, and everyone who saw you was full of love. After so many years, you look even better. You are simply God's darling. You must have So many girls are crazy about you, just like Paris, isn't she always by your side?"

Women's girlfriends, William Chen heard Ivanta's words, especially the last sentence, the meaning is rich enough, and sure enough, the so-called girlfriends, what kind of taste is in it, only those who are in it know best , it's no wonder that in the previous life, the pair of girlfriends still fell out and stopped seeing each other.

"Appearance is only a natural factor. I hope to be able to improve my ability, just like you, Ivanta, you are doing very well, and you are my role model. Although you have an enviable appearance, you are still constantly improving. Work hard to improve yourself and make great achievements." Well, business compliments, this William Chen is good at it, after all, in his previous life, for the sake of business, his compliment skills were also fully tempered.

At this moment, Ivanta was finally at a loss for words.Speaking of career, she took a look at Chen William, thinking of the reports about his prodigal behavior, er, I can't exaggerate if you are like this.

"I heard that you have encountered some troubles recently, isn't it, William. If there is anything I can do to help, I will try my best. After all, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we are also considered family friends. I hope we can become good friends." In the end, Ivanta's conscience prevented her from flattering the other party regardless of the facts.

At this point, the restaurant finally started serving food. Per Se means "essence" in Latin, so the concept of this restaurant is to respect the ingredients and try to highlight and restore the original flavor of the ingredients.Most of the ingredients come from local farms, fresh and healthy.

William Chen tasted an appetizer called Salmon Tratare. The crispy egg roll was wrapped in salmon puree and cheese underneath. There was a little fruity taste and a surprise sweetness in the bottom of the egg roll, which made the whole not too bland. .The matching biscuits are sandwiched with salty cheese.

"Great restaurant." After eating a piece, he came out and praised.Looking at Ivanta who was eating the dishes elegantly, she continued:
"After all, there are many reports about these things. I admit that I did encounter some small difficulties before. The main reason is that I was too young and immature before, and the investments I made were not well thought out. I am also reflecting on myself recently. Mistakes, try to make changes, I believe there will be improvements in the future. Thank you for your concern, Ivanta, but I hope to use my own efforts to recover the consequences caused by my mistakes."
