After the close of the night, Williams invited Befort to sit down together. He had something to ask Befort about the so-called second round of the market.
He has been in the trading house for more than half a month, and he has some understanding of the things in it. He also knows that the success of some seemingly very successful investors is often not due to their keen sense of the market. , it is not their reasonable analysis, but comes from "inside information" that everyone knows.
What is inside information
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a listed company's plan for the next period of time, which has not yet been announced. These plans will only be announced to the public at the moment of implementation, or even not announced. When people found out, the stock price had already started to rise or plummet significantly, causing people to miss every market trend. However, if there are internal members who are aware of these plans and disclose the information to some friends at this time, these people can prepare in advance to enter or leave the market, pursuing maximum benefits while avoiding huge risks.
This is the origin of inside information. At the same time, the Financial Management Committee also prohibits any form of leakage of inside information, which will affect the normal financial order.
That's what it is said... It's like the laws of various countries do not allow illegal robbery of other people's wealth, but there are always some people who are forced by society to have no choice but to make a fortune, and they don't care about the law. Said.
Not even the law can restrain some people's madness, let alone the requirements of the Monetary Authority
Pieces of inside information, whether true or false, flood the financial market, making it impossible to tell whether it is true or false. Everyone is eager to get some inside information, but after getting it, they are afraid that it is false, especially those that are very easy to obtain and are not accurate. It’s even more overwhelming to get inside information for what you pay for.
So Williams wanted to treat Beford to a meal and learn more about what the second round of the market was going on.
Beford is a nice guy, young and promising, and has a good personality. Williams likes to communicate with him. The two agreed to discuss the matter at a club specializing in underdressed dancers. It wasn’t that Williams had any special hobbies, but that the undercovered dancers club was probably the safest place—it had separate soundproofing. There are private rooms and music playing equipment. With the door closed, no one knows what is going on inside or what the people inside are saying, and the dim lighting protects everyone's privacy to the maximum extent.
The two ordered some drinks and fruit plates, and then Williams gave the poor dancer, who couldn't even afford clothes, twenty federal shields and asked her to go outside and change into a suitable set of clothes. The dancer left the box knowingly and Close the door. Williams turned on the music and poured some wine for Befort. After a short pause, he asked, "In the afternoon, you said there was a new round of market prices... Is there any good news?" After working in the trading house for half a month, Mr. Williams can even master the word "good". This is definitely a huge improvement.
Beford smiled, lowered his head and looked at the wine glass without saying anything. Williams suddenly realized something, "If I make money, I will never forget your help to me. I am a grateful person, Beford "
"William..., is it okay if I call you that?"
"Of course, my friends call me William!"
"Okay, William, you know that the most important thing in our industry is the source of information. Only by holding a few important clues can we get the information in time and make people unswervingly believe in us. ability. I can’t tell you where I got this news, but I can give you some tips, pay attention to the newspaper during this time,” Beford said, taking a sip of wine and looking directly at Williams. , "Opportunities are always present in an instant. When the wave is only one foot high, you don't notice it. When it turns into a tsunami and sweeps everything, you can no longer touch it."
Williams was still hesitating and asked hesitantly, "Is it reliable?"
Befort laughed loudly, "William, I think we are very compatible, don't you think? I saw you when I came down from the office, and I was also your first stockbroker. I think this is the connection between us." Fate. The next words may cause you discomfort, but these are the rules of this industry.”
"This is the first time you've got inside information. You can just sit back and watch without doing anything, but if you want inside information in the future, you'll have to pay a lot of money!"
"I also hope you don't tell other people in the company about this, because for others, if they want to get this information, they will need at least two thousand yuan!"
Williams immediately thought of the most popular marketing campaign in the past two years. A mop company gave away a very practical and strong mop pole for free. It cost a lot of money to make, but as long as he went to one of their branches in various places , register a social security number and you can get one for free. That thing is indeed easy to use, and giving it away for free makes people more favorable. For a while, people were talking about what this company was doing. Such easy-to-use and sturdy mops are given to everyone for free. Is their company a gold mine
However, after a month or two, people found that this mop was the only one left in their homes, and the mop head of this mop was somewhat damaged. At this time, they are faced with two choices: throw away this easy-to-use, beautiful and strong mop and replace it with the old and unusable mop, or find a way to replace this good mop with a mop head.
Then they saw a mop head in the store priced at four yuan and ninety-nine cents. This company, known as Silly Beep, completed its listing journey in just nine months. It not only developed a mop product, but also Along with more daily necessities and household appliances, this case was included in the "Federal Classic Marketing", a businessman's bible.
Williams has read the book, and now Befort is doing the same thing. He uses a free benefit to gain his trust and affirmation, and when he needs more, he will charge a fee. Cheap fees.
Two thousand federal shields can now be exchanged for more than 670 star dollars, which is not a small amount of money.
Soon Williams called back the poor dancer who had just gone out to change clothes for a long time and still had nothing to wear, and gave her a hundred yuan to buy some clothes for the coming winter. In order to repay Williams for his generosity and kindness, the dancer, who could not afford to wear clothes, did her best to serve the two gentlemen as comfortably as possible.
When Williams returned home in the evening, drunk, she saw her wife in the living room, watching television. The TVs produced by the Empire have long been exported to the Federation. Some local small factories in the Federation without qualifications and authorization are also secretly producing them. There are also many tape companies in the Federation that provide content for these genuine or fake TVs. She was watching a TV series from the Federation's own country, imitating the plot of Star Empire, and Chi Guoguo plagiarized it.
But her wife didn't smile, there was still some sadness on her face.
She knew very well what was going on at home now, even if Williams didn't say anything, she knew. She didn't know what to do, she was just an ordinary office worker, and she didn't know how to deal with the crisis that had arrived.
When she heard the door being opened, she took the initiative to greet him and helped the drunken Williams sit on the sofa. There has been silence between the two, only the harsh sound of lines from the TV kept the place from becoming silent. After a long time, Williams burped and exhaled a strong breath of alcohol. His drunken and silent expression came to life in an instant, "You know... you know, baby, we are saved."
"Tomorrow, ask your cousin to come over. I have something I need to tell him."
The next day, Williams met his wife's cousin, a greasy-faced guy. This guy has never been a good person in Williams' mind. He has inextricable connections with local gangs and is said to have helped people smuggle things. In short, in the eyes of businessmen like Williams, he is a bad guy. Except for them getting together during the New Year, Williams usually didn't want to see this person at all.
But today, he had to meet this guy he hated, because this guy had a way to get money.
"William, this is the first time you have invited me, let me guess..." He held his chin and looked at Williams for a while, and then said with a sudden realization, "You must be in trouble, right? Which one is not long?" The guy with the eyes hit you? Tell me his name and I'll let you see him floating in the sea on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper!"
Williams twitched the corner of his mouth and forced out a smile. He reached out to shake hands with his wife and brother, and pulled him into his study. "It's not that serious, dear...", before he closed the study door. Afterwards, the two of them sat down separately. He took the initiative to take a bottle of Paradise imported from the empire and gave it to his wife and brother, "I heard that you know some financial companies?"
My brother-in-law sniffed the fragrance of Paradise and put it in his pocket without lighting it. For a person like him who begged for food on the street, such a nice bottle of Paradise was worth far more than the value of Paradise itself. Much more. Facing Williams' question, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, are you in trouble with funds? I still have some money here. If it comes in handy, I'll have someone transfer it to you."
It was as if it was the first time he met his brother-in-law. When no one else was willing to lend him a helping hand, he didn't expect that there was someone here who was willing to lend him money. This made him suddenly feel like a bastard, and Let him understand that family love is more precious than any false and exaggerated things!
