Chapter 130
Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.
Mayer Rothschild, the founder of the Rothschild family, has a famous saying that the hand that gives money is always higher than the hand that takes money. This sentence vividly expresses the status of bankers in social and economic activities. For the best minds in the world, Wall Street will always be a place of great aspirations. Every year, outstanding students who graduate from the best universities in the world almost regard entering the top five investment banks as their ultimate goal.
After a series of capital turmoil last year, Seriosha recruited three top Wall Street investment gurus, among them Bill Gross became the head of the securities investment department of Columbia Bank, while Peterson and Schwarzman brought the two 80% of the shares of the Blackstone Group, which was founded by him, were sold to Columbia Bank.
Now the Columbia Bank, which holds 3 trillion yuan, has prepared enough ammunition and plans to make a big splash on Wall Street. The bond fund managed by Bill Gross was first replenished to 50 billion US dollars, which was enough to make Bill Gross stand out from most bond funds on Wall Street. The Blackstone Group has received 20 billion U.S. dollars in funds, and they can buy their favorite companies in the US capital market. Seryozha, who tried his hand at Wall Street, didn't intend to overspread the stall as soon as he came up. The small money was just for Blackstone Group and Columbia's investment department to try their skills. In the future, with their development, Seryozha will invest more funds in these two departments. Whether it is Bill Gross or the Blackstone Group, Sergesha firmly believes that with their abilities, after obtaining the initial start-up capital, they will slowly find their own right direction. What these two departments bring is long-term and And stable income. But right now, there is an easy and easy opportunity waiting for Seryozha, and that is the US stock market that is about to enter the Internet age.
With the smooth progress of Iridium's basic network plan, the fashionable Nasdaq has already connected its transactions to the Iridium network. The relatively conservative New York Stock Exchange is still consulting Iridium on technical issues. In the United States, large financial institutions are mainly concentrated on the East Coast, and the construction of Iridium's basic network also started from the East Coast. The Internet has brought a completely different communication experience to the financial industry. People can finally receive real-time quotations synchronized with exchanges in their offices, instead of first contacting their stockbrokers as in the past, and confirming the quotations. Buy and sell later. For many investors, it is more convenient to grasp the ever-changing market.
However, the Internet is a new thing, and there are still many loopholes that financial institutions have not considered. High-frequency trading is arguably the biggest opportunity of all. Seryozha hopes that Columbia Bank will become the first company on Wall Street to conduct programmatic trading, because no matter how fast a trader is, it is impossible to compare with IBM's supercomputer.
Because Nasdaq has already been connected to Eva's business network, Seryozha's first programmatic trading platform intends to use Nasdaq as the blueprint for development. Under Mikhail's dollar offensive, IBM took out its latest supercomputer products, and specially sent engineers who have been in charge of financial development of the U.S. Treasury Department for a long time to serve this system of Columbia Bank.
However, the main work done by IBM is to enable the giant computer in Colombia to automatically match stock quotes on the Nasdaq market, and the most critical part of the whole system is actually in the hands of Yota Communications, Eva Secretly arranged top-level routing algorithm engineers to be responsible for allowing Columbia Bank's transaction data to flow smoothly on the network at twice the speed.
In order to maximize the transaction speed of this system, Seryozha even bought a property not far from the Nasdaq Exchange to house the Big Mac. Property next door to the NYSE. After the NYSE announced that it would adopt the Internet to accept commissions, Sergesha would deploy a similar system there.
IBM's development capabilities are really impressive, and the system was officially put into operation in just one month. After half a month of testing, the system basically met the performance requirements required by Columbia Bank.
However, this system has only been developed so far, because there is still a key point, that is, the high-frequency trading model needs to be entered into this large computer, because only in this way, this large computer can follow the model. , find a safe price difference to match the transaction, and earn double income from the buyer and seller respectively.
It's not easy for people from IBM to know about this kind of thing. Fortunately, Seryozha still has talents in this field. Grigory and Berezovsky have a group of long-term employers Mathematicians design sports prediction models for Uri's sports betting company, William Hill. This kind of thing is much more complicated than the financial model that Seryozha desperately needs now. Therefore, Grigory and Berezovsky can take this matter on their shoulders.
Seryozha asked Mikhail to bring Bill Gross into the development team of this system. Bill Gross has formed a complete trading system for many years in his investment career. Know exactly what functions the system needs.
After Seryozha assigned the tasks, he didn't care about the following progress from time to time. At this time, the news from the country is still not very optimistic. Yeltsin and Ligachev have not yet decided the winner. This made Seryozha have to find another excuse to postpone his return to China.
Because of his identity, Sergey could not cross the Iron Curtain as he wished. When Sergey stood on the land of East Berlin, he really wanted to see what Volkswagen has become now. Fortunately, Karim was exempt from this restriction. Under the recommendation of a Rothschild family intermediary, Karim got a chance to visit the Volkswagen factory.
When Karim returned to East Germany from West Germany, Seryozha couldn't wait to ask about the current situation of the Volkswagen factory.
"Sergesha, this company is now basically in the hands of the German government. If we want to acquire it, we must first pass the German government. There is an agreement between the Volkswagen Group and the government. Eighty percent of the shares of the Volkswagen Group are required to acquire this company." Karim introduced to Sergey Sha.
When Seryozha heard the news, he suddenly murmured in his heart. Eighty percent, in most countries, as long as you buy 30 percent, you can make a tender offer. The Germans are black enough! Mobile users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
