GBP Chapter 592 Stock Exchange
Chapter 592 Stock Exchange
Ignoring Shu Wen's dissuasion, Lu Ye brought the two boxes of money to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Hong Kong people can be said to be all stock traders.
The Stock Exchange is comparable to the hottest shopping mall in Central.
The entire exchange hall was crowded with people, like a train station during the Spring Festival travel rush.
At that time, there were four exchanges in Hong Kong: the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Far East Exchange, the Gold and Silver Exchange, and the Kowloon Stock Exchange.
It was not until 1986 that these four exchanges merged into the Hong Kong United Exchange, which is now known as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is mainly divided into the inner area and the outer area, as well as the VIP room upstairs.
The outer area is the main gathering place for retail investors. These Hong Kong stock investors look at the stock price board inside through a huge glass window.
Then buy and sell in the trading window.
The inner area is the place inside the glass window, a huge circular area.
It was full of professional traders wearing red vests.
Here, they contact their financial backers by phone.
Every trader here has a desk with a computer on it, through which they can directly help the financiers buy and sell stocks.
Compared with retail investors outside who have to buy and sell through the window, these traders are faster, whether buying or selling.
The second floor is the main room, which looks like a private room in a theater. You can see every plant and tree below through the window.
However, if you want to enter the VIP room, there is an entry fee requirement. Lu Ye's mere 200 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough to enter the VIP room.
However, there is no problem in finding a reliable trader from the backstage to perform buying and selling operations for him.
As the opening time arrived, all the staff in the exchange were in place.
Investors who have been waiting for a long time are looking at the stock market.
As the staff continued to adjust the prices on the board, many of these investors seemed to be possessed.
Some laughed wildly and shouted, "Rise... rise."
Some looked furious.
What's worse, he even pulled his hair frantically in public, looking like he was on the verge of collapse.
Su Yunjie was shocked when he saw the crowd that looked like they had taken drugs.
"This is too crazy! How is this different from those gamblers?"
Thinking that Lu Ye was about to start speculating in stocks and become the same as this group of people, Su Yunjie's hair stood on end.
"Brother-in-law, you see, these people are crazy. You must not follow their example. Let's stop speculating in the stock market, okay? Let's go."
Su Yunjie held Lu Ye back, not wanting him to go any further.
"What are you afraid of? I'm different from them. Don't worry, whether I make a profit or a loss, this little money isn't enough to drive me crazy."
"Let's go in. I want to find a trader." Lu Ye said with a smile.
Lu Ye was determined to trade stocks, and no one could stop him. In Su Yunjie's opinion, he was almost the same as those gamblers who could never be persuaded.
"Crazy, really crazy!"
······
After some understanding, Lu Ye quickly selected an institution to handle his stock operations.
The agency fees of these agencies are not low.
Moreover, the fees charged by traders serving the boss will vary greatly depending on the fame of the trader.
There are two types of trader fees. One is a licensed trader who is not well-known and usually works for the financier and gets paid monthly or quarterly.
The price ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
Another model is for traders who already have certain qualifications and abilities. They are charged a certain percentage of the investor's stock returns, usually between 8% and 30%.
However, there are also particularly good traders, and that depends on the specific situation.
Lu Ye doesn't need any advice from the trader. He just needs to find a trader who is obedient enough to execute his orders.
Therefore, Lu Ye directly chose a trader who had only been licensed for more than a year to help him buy and sell stocks.
"Mr. Lu, this is Nina."
"You can leave all matters related to stocks to her. You can rest assured that our service is absolutely safe. If you are not satisfied with Nina's service, we can always replace you with a new trader."
The manager of the agency brought in a woman wearing a red vest with the number 359 printed on her chest.
Lu Ye looked at the woman carefully. She was about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a ponytail, light makeup on her face, flat shoes and black trousers. She looked like she had not completely lost her scholarly spirit.
"Nina, this is Mr. Lu, go and say hello to the boss." The manager said to the woman.
"Mr. Lu, I'm Nina. I'm happy to serve you." Nina greeted Lu Ye in a crisp voice.
Overall, the feeling that Nina gave Lu was pretty good.
“Do you have a Chinese name?”
"Yes, my name is Shen Chaoyi."
Lu Ye looked at the manager: "OK, that's her."
"Okay, I'll go prepare the contract and be back soon." The manager smiled and looked very happy.
"Nina, greet the bosses."
As a trader who has just obtained her license, Shen Chaoyi's fees are actually not high, only HK$1000 a month. If she is hired for a long term, the price can be even lower.
"Boss, let me pour some water for you."
"No, let's get down to business first."
Lu Ye stopped Shen Chaoyi who was about to get up to pour water.
"To be clear, I need a trader who will follow my instructions completely. I buy when I say buy, and I sell when I say sell. You don't need to give me any advice, and there can't be any delays for even a second."
"I totally understand!" Shen Chaoyi said respectfully after hearing Lu Ye's words.
"Do you have your own exclusive trading computer?" Lu Ye asked again.
In stock trading, time is money. If a trader does not have his own dedicated trading computer, his efficiency will definitely be greatly reduced.
Hearing this question, Shen Chaoyi had an awkward smile on his face.
"Not yet... not yet, but I can use the company's public computers to trade, and placing orders usually won't have much of an impact."
"I heard that within an institution like yours, you'll be assigned your own trading computers and workstations based on the amount of client funds you hold?"
"Yes, our requirement is a one-time deposit of at least HK$50 before agent traders can get a fixed workstation."
"I... I haven't got such a big client yet, so... I don't have a fixed workstation." Shen Chaoyi said a little embarrassedly.
This is how the world of capital is, everything is about money.
This is especially true in companies that play money games.
In fact, traders like Shen Chaoyi are in a very embarrassing situation.
Because they are newcomers and have no outstanding achievements, wealthy sponsors will not look for them at all.
But the fewer big investors there are, the more difficult it will be for traders like these to make a name for themselves.
Under this paradox, the entry threshold for traders is gradually raised.
Only those traders who have their own resources can survive in this industry.
"50?"
"Here is 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Once you open an account for me, all of this will be deposited into my account."
Lu Ye opened the two suitcases, and the orange Hong Kong dollars inside jumped into Shen Chaoyi's eyes.
"This should allow you to obtain a dedicated trading computer, right?"
"Enough, enough!"
Seeing so much money, Shen Chaoyi's heart was pounding.
She has had her license for a year, but she is still a low-level girl in the company. No matter how hard she tries to attract clients, she has never been able to attract a big client.
Unexpectedly, today, the goddess of luck finally descended upon her!
