After Delhi dealt with the witnesses, he opened a private conference room separate from the casino.

Most casinos have private conference rooms inside. These conference rooms are generally used by financiers, traders, etc. to conduct some shady underground transactions. Each casino's private conference room has a supporting transmission array.

Used for escape services, this teleportation array maintains a critical triggering state every time it is activated in order to ensure that the teleportation is in place. Once any problem occurs, the people in the conference room can be teleported away immediately.

However, as a result, the conference room will consume more energy, so every time the casino's conference room is opened, a full activation fee needs to be paid.

[Transaction payment: 5000 [Basic Asset] 500 [Extraordinary Asset-Energy System]]

"You have to spend money everywhere in [Financial Street]. Once you have no money or go bankrupt, it is equivalent to being kicked out of the 'big family' of financial pedigrees. Therefore, sometimes I really envy Youyang and other regular pedigrees.

System, at least their abilities are truly in their own hands. Even without the assistance of their pedigree, their extraordinary power will not dissipate!"

While Deli pushed open the heavy solid iron door of the underground conference room, he sighed to Xia Xiu who was following behind him.

"People from other pedigrees within Youyang also envy you. With assets, you can control the [Financial Beast] with the same authority as the [Incarnation of the Master]." Xia Xiu replied to Deli with a smile.

"It's really true that people outside the wall envy those inside the wall, and people inside the wall yearn for those outside the wall." Deli laughed to himself.

While the two were talking, they had already entered the secret meeting room.

The underground conference room of the casino is consistent with its expensive price. The indoor lighting design of the conference room cleverly blends modern technology and a mysterious atmosphere. The dim light softly illuminates the entire room, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

The walls of the conference room are decorated with dark wood finishes, and heavy and historical paintings are hung on the walls, showing the power and glory of the past. In the center of the room is a large round table with exquisite

cutlery and documents.

The chairs around the round table are high-backed, providing comfort and support to attendees.

There is a small bar area in the corner of the room, which serves a variety of precious wines and spirits, allowing attendees to enjoy a unique sense of luxury and relaxation during their break.

Adélie Penguin invited the blond young man to sit with him in the small bar area. It seemed that he particularly wanted to have a more intimate relationship with his collaborator.

【bite--】

[Adliss Derry, a mid-level partner of Turney Headhunting Company, initiated a [short-term transaction] to Van Helsing! 】

【Transaction·[Stock Lending].】

When one person and one penguin were seated, Delhi directly initiated a transaction with the blond young man in front of him to show his sincerity.

Xia Xiu looked at the pop-up window with a smile on his face. He liked to communicate with these decisive people. His golden eyes had already fallen on the transaction content on the pop-up window.

[Stock lending] is a very important operation in the market. It and the concept of [stock borrowing] form a double-edged sword. This double-edged sword makes transactions in the financial market more bloody.

Lending and borrowing can see their specific functions literally.

In layman's terms: In a stock lending transaction, the stock holder (lender) will temporarily transfer the ownership of the stock to the borrower, and the borrower promises to return the same number of stocks within an agreed period of time.

Stock lending is usually performed by financial institutions (such as brokers, investment banks) as intermediaries. They connect stock borrowers and stock lenders and assist in completing the lending transaction. In this transaction, the stock borrower usually needs to pay

A certain interest fee is paid to the stock lender as compensation for borrowing the stock.

In other words, the lender can obtain interest fees, while the borrower temporarily obtains the right to use the stock to complete some of its own financial operations, such as Delhi and Xia Xiu now.

Xia Xiu needs the [Financial Beast Sphinx] to perform some operations, and according to the rules of [Financial Street], controlling the [Financial Beast] requires meeting the corresponding share holding conditions, so the two borrowed this temporary

By doing this, the transaction can be completed in a way that benefits both parties.

However, if lending and borrowing only have the above gameplay, then it is not enough to become a double-edged sword that stirs up the financial market. They also have a more famous core gameplay - [short selling] and [hedging].

[Hedging] involves the financial concept of [position]. General hedging includes [long and short hedging], [derivatives hedging], [currency hedging], etc.

And [short selling] means that the 'borrower' may hold a short view of a certain stock and hope to profit from the fall in stock price. They can borrow the stock and sell it, and then sell it at a lower price after the stock price falls.

Buy the stock at a certain price and return it to the stock lender, making a profit from it.

The process of [short selling] can be briefly described as follows:

Borrowed assets: Investors borrow target assets (such as stocks) from securities firms or other financial institutions, and usually need to pay a certain interest fee.

Short selling: Investors will immediately sell the borrowed assets at the market price to obtain corresponding funds.

Waiting for the price to fall: Investors expect the price of the target asset to fall so that they can repurchase the asset at a lower price in the future.

Buy back: When the price of the target asset drops to the expected level, the investor buys back the asset at a lower price and returns it to the lender.

Profit or Loss: Investors calculate profit or loss based on the difference between the buying and selling prices.

The core idea of ​​[short selling] can be summarized as: I think you are going to fall, so I borrow your stock before it falls, and then quickly sell it at a price lower than the market price. When it falls, I will use it at a lower price.

Buy the shares at a reasonable price and then return the shares.

In addition to the interest fees paid in the early stage, the other benefits are basically nothing. If you want to be more crazy, [Short Selling] can also be used in conjunction with [Financial Leverage].

This seems simple, but what [short selling] requires is the financiers' sensitivity to information and their ability to predict the future. At the same time, it can also become a tool for those in higher positions to set up traps and cut leeks.

If someone maliciously creates or manipulates market conditions to cause the price of a specific stock or asset to fall in order to make a profit. They use [short] false information about a stock, manipulate trading activity, or other means to induce other investors to sell the stock

, thereby driving the stock price down.

This method of using investors' greed, lack of experience or information asymmetry to gain profits by manipulating the market or committing fraud is like "cutting leeks".

In the financial market, there are always people who think they are smart people who become leeks. The tireless work of these people makes them an indispensable piece of the puzzle in the financial market.

At this moment, Xia Xiu, who had completed the borrowing, was playing with the anonymous white [Financial Card] in his hand, and three [Financial Street] messages popped up in his eyes.

【You have completed the borrowing!】

[You have obtained 4.25% of the equity of Teni Company, and you have obtained the temporary summoning certificate of the financial beast! 】

[Because it is borrowing equity, you cannot use this financial beast to carry out any malicious and hostile behavior against the lender! 】

After playing with it for a while, the blond young man raised the [financial card] in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Startup Finance Sphinx."

A magic circle appears above [Financial Card]. The center of the magic circle is a circle, symbolizing infinite circulation and balance. Around the center of the circle, criss-crossing lines and curves are intertwined to form a complex and precise geometric pattern.

These patterns are like a path leading to unknown territory, leading the flow and transformation of energy.

With a gentle flash of light, [Financial Beast Sphinx] was summoned.

[Sphinx] is a financial beast that is half human and half lion. It has the body of a lion, the head of a human, and a pair of wings of an eagle. Overall, its appearance is mysterious and full of power. At this time, its eyes are

Closed tightly.

When [Sphinx] appeared, Xia Xiu looked at the opponent up and down with great interest.

[Financial Beast] is different from [Master Incarnation]. The latter is the incarnation of power formed by the secret key and the distortion of [Master]'s huge EVE particles and huge ARad field. It can be understood as the materialization of [Master]'s will.

Every move of the incarnation completely follows the will of the [Master]; but the financial beast is different. He is a conceptual object formed by the accumulation of many assets. The foundation of his existence is given by [Financial Street].

Therefore, each [Financial Beast] has considerable intelligence and characteristics, and the conceptual authority held by each [Financial Beast] is determined by their characteristics.

Looking at the [Sphinx] who slowly opened his eyes, Xia Xiu unconsciously began to recall the other party's abilities. He remembered that the other party had two powers called [Riddle Power] and [Wisdom Insight].

Especially the authority of [Intellectual Insight], which can call upon the resources of [Financial Street].

In other words, the other party has the authority to operate at the highest level among the seven levels of the [Ether Ocean]. This level is responsible for the interaction and stability of information and concepts between reality and the ether. At the same time, there are also many unspeakable things here.

The projection of a terrifying existence.

[Sphinx] can see some things that should not be seen. Of course, if the person being spied on has a high enough level of thaumaturgy, he can also counteract this kind of peeping.

The [Sphinx] in the form of 4.25% can only be seen as something non-financial street, but...

Xia Xiu rubbed his chin, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to show the other person something nice to see.

When [Sphinx] opened his eyes, a thick red book and a card as pure as white paper appeared on the left and right hands of the blond young man respectively.

These two things are: the red book of the Kingdom of Heaven genealogy that has been disconnected from the Internet, and the Red King's [White Card·Savior].

"It is you, an equal mortal, who summoned me..."

At this time, the arrogant [Sphinx] was reciting the opening words when he was summoned as usual.

At the same time, its eyes are slowly opening. There are many circles engraved in those slowly opening eyes. These circles are constantly rotating like animated pictures. This is a sign of [Wisdom Observation] being used.

.

It habitually uses [Intelligent Observation] to spy on everything about the summoner. It likes this feeling of insight into everything. This feeling is like tearing open a packaging box, and opening the box is to break the other party's hypocrisy.

【Sphinx】likes to open boxes.

However, the [Sphinx] regretted it very much today. At this moment, it wanted to blind its own eyes to prevent it from looking directly at the blond young man in front of it.

Because if you look at it one more time, it will really explode.

Just now, the moment [Sphinx] opened its eyes and saw the blond young man, its pupils suddenly shrank, and the circles inside that rotated like animations paused momentarily. Then, these circles seemed like

It's like turning on double speed, and it keeps accelerating and rotating.

Huge messages rushed towards the [Sphinx], and its eyes shed tears of blood.

It saw, in the boundless ether starry sky, countless astonishingly huge behemoths. The huge shells shone with metallic luster, reflecting the faint twinkle of starlight. On the top of the behemoths, they exuded

The breath of destruction; in the ether crack near Terra, huge metal rings wrapped around complex geometric structures, war weapons with two pairs of holy wings surrounded the structures, and huge walls traversed

In the boundless ether starry sky; and deeper, there is a terrifying, indescribable light group. Countless [etheric spirits] tremble, and they sing instinctive praises to it. They call him - [The Almighty One]
