America's Road to Fame

Chapter 4 Reporting from the future

In an instant, the vortex in the eye of the future in his hand turned into a ball of light and flew into William Chen's forehead.A burst of white light immediately appeared in front of Chen Weilian's eyes. After the white light passed, he found a picture floating in front of his eyes. It was a newspaper report, and the content was:

During the trading session of the US stock market on July 2009, 7, the shipping sector collectively soared, and many stocks once rose by more than 15%.The sale of the assets of the bankrupt South Korean container company KJ Shipping was the main reason for the one-day surge in shipping stocks.In addition, the Baltic dry bulk index rose for 100 days in a row, hitting a high in nearly a year.

Shares of Greek cargo shipper DryShips have risen 831.74% in the past week.At the end of June, the share price of DryShips was only about US$0.3. During the US stock trading session on the 15th, the share price of DryShips once rose to US$102, closing at US$73, an increase of 70.3%.In other words, it only took DryShips half a month to rush from $0.3 to $100.

The second quarter performance report released by DryShips recently shows that although the company's operating income in the second quarter fell by 76.19% year-on-year, its net loss has improved compared with the same period last year.

According to the materials submitted by Dryships to the US Securities Commission in January this year, the company has been doubted whether it has the ability to continue operating.It is reported that Dryships had defaulted on three loans totaling $1 million at the time.As of the end of October last year, its debt totaled 2.137 million US dollars.

At the time, Dryships had announced a moratorium on all debt repayments, stressing that the company was in debt restructuring talks with banks.

In addition, the share price of Eagle Bulk, a cargo shipper, has also risen by 115.8% in the past week.The data shows that Eagle Bulk's main revenue in the third quarter has achieved year-on-year growth, showing initial signs of recovery.The share price of Diana Container Shipping Company soared 20% on the 154.7th, hitting a new high in the past six months. The company currently owns and operates 6 Panamax container ships.

After William Chen finished reading the report, the picture in front of him gradually disappeared. At this moment, he panicked. Although he remembered the content in general, he was still afraid that he would forget some important data.

Fortunately, he found something in the future bank's inventory later.At this time, the three items opened in the newcomer gift package have disappeared, but there is one more [Eye of the Future (trace)]. When William Chen opened this trace, he found that what was recorded in it was the picture he just saw. He was relieved.

Recalling the content of the report I saw just now, it mainly talked about the news of the shipping sector of the US stock market on July 7, especially the stock price information of DryShips, a Greek cargo shipper, which is the most important.

This stock can be called a monster stock. At the end of June, the stock price was only 0.3 US dollars, but by July 7, it could rise to 15 US dollars within half a month. How many times is this?A full 102 times increase is really amazing, that is, if I invest 340 million US dollars now, it will rise to 1000 billion US dollars by then, which can be called terrifying.

William Chen confirmed the time. Today is June 6, which means that if this report really comes from the future, this wave of market will start immediately, and he should have time to make plans.

Of course, it’s not that Chen William has never invested in stocks in his previous life. He knows that things are not that simple. Usually, the market for such super high-growth monster stocks is not too large. It is estimated that its circulation will be limited, let alone 34 billion. It is estimated to be 3.4 million. At that time, it will not be sold at that price, so it can only be played with a small amount of money.

But even so, a lot of information can be seen from this report, that is, by next month, the shipping sector of the entire US stock market will have a relatively large market, and many stocks will rise by more than 100% in a single day. As long as the funds are sufficient, you can attack more points and lay out the entire shipping sector, so that the plate of the entire sector will be larger, able to accommodate more funds, and earn enough profits.

But the question now is, first, whether this future eye is reliable or not. If the news is inaccurate, the stock will not only not rise, but will plummet instead, and it will be over.

But now that he is faced with such a predicament, he can only choose to believe.After all, his time travel and the appearance of this future bank were miraculous enough, and it was simply something that subverted his entire cognition. Now that these have been slowly accepted, then there is no such thing as the appearance of the eye of the future. So incomprehensible.

The second question is the current situation of William Chen. Even if the news is true, it is still a problem to find funds to invest in this market. Now he has no money at all, only the tens of thousands of dollars he usually spends .

The rest, including my own film and television company, are already at a standstill. As for the No. 666 building on Fifth Avenue, the banks are watching now, and they all know that a loan will expire soon. I am afraid it will be difficult to use that at this time. The building is mortgaged to get a loan.

In the end, only the house he lives in now is left. His villa has an area of ​​more than 8000 square feet. Converted to square meters, it is about 750 square meters. It is in the most expensive location in New York, where old New York houses are concentrated. Money, that is, those families that have lasted for several generations, this is the vocabulary corresponding to new money, and new money refers to those new rich, or upstarts.

The Upper East Side residences near Fifth Avenue are often priced but not marketable, and there are also high requirements for the owners who move in. They often have to be approved by the owners' committee before they are allowed to move in.

Therefore, the requirements for occupants not only have asset thresholds, but also have restrictions on their occupations and identities. Just like those celebrities or upstarts, they are often refused to move in. They can only go to emerging houses on the other side of the Upper East Side. District residence.

Therefore, William Chen's house here can also be said to be the highest housing price in the United States, or even the world. The market valuation of his villa is more than 2500 million U.S. dollars, and if it is mortgaged, it can borrow about 2000 million U.S. dollars.

The other thing is that the Future Bank he just got can provide him with a loan amount. Thinking of this, he opened the [Account] interface and saw that the amount was still 1000 million US dollars.

But at this time, he has not bound a partner yet. The only partner he can bind with now is Paris Hilton. Although I always feel that binding her may not be reliable, but there is no way, time is tight, and now he has no It's time to find a more suitable person, and after all, he and Paris have known each other for three years, so it's unlikely that someone else will have a lower "cap rate" than her.

You must know that once bound and borrowed, if the bound partner is judged to deviate from the system, it is still very dangerous. In the future, the bank will immediately, like the forced liquidation in many leveraged transactions, in the case of insufficient bank deposits to repay At that time, the financial assets held by William Chen were sold to repay the loan.

If it is in the operation of financial investment, it is difficult to prevent this kind of behavior. If the stock invested in this period of time is at a low price and is forced to sell, the loss will be huge, and your position will be sent to the market in an instant. Pending orders eat up all buy orders, and even cause an instant drop in prices.

Therefore, we must be more cautious about the partner who is bound. William Chen doesn't have many choices now, so he can only bind Paris first. investment losses.

After thinking about this, William Chen selected Paris Hilton in the binding column.After he selected it, he saw a bound logo appear under the [Account] column, and there was Paris's avatar next to it.And his quota has also entered a state of adjustment.

After 1 minute, the adjustment was completed, and William Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the amount had changed to 5000 million US dollars.I didn't expect Paris Hilton's rating to be pretty good. Although he hasn't tried other people's ratings, if it's not enough, at least the current rating already makes him very satisfied.

But it's not so difficult to understand after thinking about it. After all, Paris was born in the Hilton family, and she has also filmed a lot of film and television works in the past few years, and her popularity in the United States is relatively high.

The most important thing is that there is no negative news about Paris Hilton now, and her personal image is generally good, unlike William Chen's previous life, after she was backstabbed by her ex-boyfriend and some kind of video tape was released In addition, after being hit later, the love history is relatively rich, so the reputation at the time was not good, and he was even called the prodigal son of the Hilton family, and even the whole family was greatly affected.

Today is already June 6th, there is not much time left for William Chen, he needs to hurry up.And one more thing he needs to consider is that if the bank's quota in the future, plus his own mortgage loan, his total funds will be around 29 million US dollars, and he needs to buy more than one stock, it may be difficult for him to operate Come.

Professional things should be done by professional people, so he plans to find a reliable trading team to help him operate these stocks.

However, he always wanted to tell Uncle Tom about the mortgage loan. Although William Chen could predict how he would react when he found out about his decision, as the most trusted and close person of his predecessor, Man, even for respect, must inform him in advance.

And William Chen knew that Uncle Tom had worked as a lawyer in New York before, and had a wider network than him, so he needed his help for things like finding a trading team.

"What? You want to mortgage this house for a loan?" Sure enough, after hearing William Chen's thoughts, Uncle Tom reacted very strongly: "William, I thought you were really ambitious before reflecting on it, but I didn't expect you to even have this I want to sell the house. This is the house left to you by your parents. This is not just a house. In my heart, it also contains memories, memories of past lives. I will not agree with you to put this place All sold."

"Uncle Tom, I'm not going to sell this place, I just use it as a mortgage to solve the current problem, and I won't give up this house to others."

William Chen tried his best to explain, but he also knew that what he saw from the eyes of the future could not be clearly explained to the other party. Even if he really said it, Uncle Tom might think that something was wrong with his brain.

"Things are not as simple as you think, William, yes, it is very simple for you to take this house to the bank for a mortgage, but then what will you use to repay the money? Don't say what movie you want to invest in, after so many years None of the movies you invest in have made any money, and you have lost so much. If you still don’t pay the money, then you will lose even the last real estate.”

Uncle Tom rubbed his forehead and said: "To be honest, William, the result of my communication with the bank today is not optimistic. Even with the Dray family's peace, they still insist on at least half of the due repayment , to defer the rest of the loan. So if the worst happens and the shares in that building cannot be kept, you still have at least this property, and I don’t want to see you living on the streets in the end, understand?”
