"Credit card, this is a good thing. It was just issued in China last year. It is only used in two cities in Guangdong Province and has not been applied nationwide yet!"
Liu Lang picked it up and looked at it. It was a VISA card.
"It was only popularized across the country in the United States more than ten years ago. It is very convenient! However, there are relatively strict conditions for application, and you need to have a good credit rating!"
Louis Wang said.
The emergence of credit cards is also a symbol of the development of the electronics industry. However, credit cards today can only be called debit cards. They rely on the credit of the owner to make payments in other places. They are still different from online payments in 20 or 30 years.
As a staff member of the Institute of Economics at Harvard University, Louis Wang has a very high credit rating, and he often travels on business, so he applied for a credit card. This card can advance 15,000 US dollars, but Louis Wang
He only has a deposit of 10,000 yuan, and he can pay back this 10,000 yuan even if he loses money. If he advances 5,000 yuan and loses it, then he can only borrow money from others to pay it back.
This consumption habit is also the traditional consumption concept of the Chinese. They do not like to consume in advance and do not like to take out loans.
"Ten thousand yuan is three hundred thousand US dollars, which is enough to buy several good cars!"
Liu Lang smiled and the other party took the initiative to offer 10,000 US dollars, which showed that he already believed his words.
All the money was placed in the account of the American branch of Shengtang Culture. Liu Lang himself had 1.5 million U.S. dollars, and the Huo family also contributed 1 million U.S. dollars.
In the eyes of the Huo family, Liu Lang's prediction this time was a bit unreliable, but they still chose to support Liu Lang and accepted that one million US dollars was a waste.
"When will the money from Yongli Group arrive?"
Wang Zhendong promised that he would also provide two million U.S. dollars to Liu Lang for operation. However, the Yongli Group's money belongs to the state, and the U.S. dollar is still the national foreign exchange. He cannot take it if he wants. Maybe the state feels that this matter is very risky, so he cannot
If Liu Lang can "play" with money, then Liu Lang can only "deeply regret" it.
Early the next morning, several people got up, washed up, went downstairs, had something to eat at a nearby Western restaurant that served breakfast, and then arrived at Times Square. It was now around eight o'clock in the morning, and many people were wearing suits and carrying clothes on their shoulders.
The office workers with backpacks had already started their busy day. They walked quickly, and many of them were eating hamburgers while walking. This scene reminded Liu Lang of what he was like when he was working. Chinese students will also do it twenty years later.
It will be like this.
In addition to these office workers, there are also many tourists from all over the world. As the "crossroads of the world", many people come here to "pilgrimage" every day. Liu Lang saw a group of islanders standing at the entrance of Broadway.
They stopped taking pictures and yelled "Yo xi yo xi".
"Oh, you are also from the island country?"
When a man from the island country saw Liu Lang and the others, he thought he saw compatriots and came forward to ask.
"We are Chinese!"
Others did not understand Japanese, so Liu Lang answered them directly in Japanese.
"Chinese? Then how do you speak fluent Japanese?"
The other party still didn't believe it.
"I can not only speak Japanese, but also English and German. Which country do you think I am from?"
Liu Lang smiled.
"Wow... okay, can you take a picture for us?"
The other party was a little embarrassed.
"no problem!"
Liu Lang took the Konka camera from the other person's hand and took a group photo of them.
"Thanks!"
Those island people are still very polite.
"Liu Lang, do you know Japanese?"
Louis Wang was surprised.
"Mr. Liu not only speaks Japanese, but also speaks German and Russian very well!"
Sun Mingren said from the side.
"Chinese is the most difficult language in the world. As long as you can speak Chinese well, languages from other countries won't matter!"
Liu Lang waved his hand.
There are still many beggars in Times Square, but they are different from those beggars in China more than 20 years later. They will not lie on the ground and write my miserable bullshit. These people are not playing the violin silently there.
They dress up like clowns and do acrobatic moves that ordinary people can't do. There is also a black man who plays fast-paced music in the street and performs an impromptu hip-hop dance to the music.
In short, everyone was surrounded by a few tourists watching with interest. Occasionally one or two people took out some change and put it in the piano case or hat in front of them. These people ignored it and continued to perform hard.
The four of them, Liu Lang, stood in front of the black young man who was dancing hip-hop. His movements were smooth and his emotions were very unrestrained. From time to time, he would do a few full Thomas rotations. His movements were so difficult that even Sun Hu, who was a master of kung fu, could not do it.
Quite surprised, he had never seen this kind of dance that looked like Kung Fu. This man must be a good prospect if he becomes a soldier.
Liu Lang was quite moved when he watched his hearty performance. These people may be beggars, but their hearts are definitely not begging, but working towards their dreams. There must be a dream in their hearts, that is, one day
To be able to go on the Broadway stage and perform in front of the whole world.
"Dream!"
Liu Lang respects these people who keep working hard for their dreams. Maybe they will not be able to realize their dreams in their lives, but at least they have worked hard and struggled, and that is enough.
Liu Lang took out one hundred dollars from his pocket and put it in the performer's hat.
Several people went straight to the New York Stock Exchange. When they walked into the hall that displayed the world's largest wealth, even Liu Lang was shocked.
The spacious and bright hall was bustling with people, mixed with the noise of machines and equipment running. Everyone was either shouting on the phone, or looking at the data displayed on the computer screen to record something, and some people even looked at it.
The phone kept yelling, and the intertwining of these sounds made people's blood flow faster.
Just after 9:30 in the morning, the sound of "dang-dang" came from a protruding terrace on the second floor of the hall. Liu Lang and others looked up and saw three people standing there banging a piece with a special mallet.
Bronze Bell, while looking up at a huge display screen, exclaimed.
Liu Lang knew that this should be a company that happened to be listed today. The three company leaders were invited to ring the opening bell. It was obvious from their expressions that their stocks were doing well, but I believe they would soon.
I'm crying, the stock market crash is coming, and everyone sitting here will suffer.
Liu Lang and Sun Huren found a remote corner to sit down, while Louis Wang and Sun Mingren went to the exchange to handle some procedures. In just over half an hour, the two of them completed everything. Shengtang American Branch
His name has been registered, and there are more than 2.5 million US dollars in the account. Now the money can be used to buy stocks at will.
However, Liu Lang was not in a hurry. No one from Yongli Group had contacted him yet. The day before yesterday, he made a special overseas phone call to ask Wang Zhendong. The other party said that they were raising funds and it was expected that someone would come to him today and tomorrow. The other person was Liu Lang.
Lang thinks it's better to keep a low profile on this kind of thing.
The 16th is the date of the stock market crash, the 15th, and the 14th is Zhou Ming. He will announce the news on the 13th. Even if it will attract the attention of others, because the time is short, those people will not have time to investigate the background of the funds, etc.
When the world is in chaos on the 16th, who will care about themselves?
After finishing these things, the four people left the exchange. Sun Mingren rented a car and started a trip to New York City with a few people.
