Scene 212: Lick the dog, everything!(1/2)

Although New Haven is a traditional port city, a large amount of goods are loaded and unloaded from here every day, it is not a traditional financial city.

The financial capital here has been long-standing impression of New York City for the past fifty and one hundred years. It has always been just a little brother shrouded in the shadow of New York City.

However, since the early spring of 1860, the situation seems to be a little different.

Although the sea breeze is still cold, New Haven's financial industry has entered a warm spring.

"Boss, our total investment is already 51,375 US dollars. However, our capital reserves are only US$10,000 US dollars worth US$10,000, and angel investment has also begun on Huaye Street. Should we slow down our investment here and see the direction of the wind?"

Nick, who has been promoted to the head of the investment department, advised Doug.

"No, continue to follow the normal process and accept entrepreneurs who submit proposals." When Doug spoke, his eyes did not leave the newspaper in his hand, as if something important to Nick. On Doug's side, it was not as good as the words in the newspaper.

"But...if our capital chain breaks...then...the first phase of the startup project has entered a time when a lot of money is needed. You also know that although the Bank of America you control has the final say for how many bank coupons you want to issue, not all places recognize your Bank of America...

The key is, if those guys on Wall Street are in the middle of the situation, if they start to run Bank of America, we...we will be sad!"

Nick continued to persuade.

His last sentence is what he wants to express in the end.

The financial industry is a casino with opaque rules.

People in this industry may not have much money, but they have various ways to get hundreds or thousands of times more money.

In this industry, big banks are both gamblers and dealers.

They can guide the direction of large-scale capital flows. If small and medium-sized banks do not rely on them and want to do something on their own, they will easily fall into a crisis on the verge of bankruptcy.

After all, almost all banks have money that is not their own. The money they use is far beyond what they can use.

Although Nick was just a small person on Wall Street, he had already seen the rules of Wall Street very clearly after working there for several years.

There, any so-called economics, so-called scientific formulas, are just fancy tools used to weave lies.

One lie connects another lie.

One lie after another folds together, and ultimately creates a lot of profits for profiteers.

As for how many people lost their fortunes behind these lies, how many people were homeless, and how many people died without a place to bury them, what does that matter?

Anyone will die, just sooner or later.

Even those people, so Wall Street commits suicide, what's the problem?

People on Wall Street will only think that they are powerful, and those people are stupid, but they will not think that they are immoral in doing so.

For them, money is morality.

After Nick finished speaking for a while, Doug put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Nick, what's the difference between Clayden Investment Bank, or Bank of America, and the banks you used to work in?"

"Difference?" Nick repeated, in fact he didn't feel any difference.

Doug looked at his expression and knew that he had no feelings about Bank of America and other banks.

He picked up his pen, wrote down several addresses in the newspaper, waved to Nick to come and pick it up. After Nick got the newspaper, he said, "You can go to the following places to take a look. Maybe you will have a deeper understanding of Bank of America. I believe this will be beneficial to your next work. After all, the most important thing in the banking industry is confidence."

Nick was holding a newspaper, and there were five addresses on it, all in New Haven.

The first address is "Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory", the second is "Winchester Weapons Company", the third is "Tom and Doug Chemical Company", the fourth is "Pemberton Beverage Factory", and the fifth is "General Steak" he has been eating recently.

When he saw the above addresses, the first thing he thought of was nothing else, but the boss Doug Clayden, who had no idea about the people on Wall Street.

If he had a little idea, he would know that even if he owned these five industries, Bank of America would definitely not be able to fight against the tycoons on Wall Street.

Or, just quit?

Because he is already the head of the investment department at Clayden Investment Bank, people have been looking for him frequently recently and want him to return to Wall Street to lead a venture capital work.

Although his salary has not increased much, it has allowed him to return to Wall Street instead of being in the remote area of ​​New Haven.

Although he was moved, he knew that for a mercenary like him, the best fate was to be thrown away after emitting light and heat.

Although mercenaries in the banking industry have become popular, many people always jump from this bank to that bank.

However, the highest point in these people who frequently change jobs in their lives is just ordinary middle-level management.

There is almost no opportunity to enter the bank's top management.

Because what mercenaries lack is loyalty.

No matter how professional or capable it is, it is useless if you don’t possess the trait of loyalty.

There are people who can do things everywhere, but not many loyal people.

In addition, he had another hesitation, which was his work at Clayden Investment Bank, which could be described as smooth.

Because Clayden Investment Bank has not been established for a long time, factional struggles are not that serious in such a young bank.

In other words, there is still plenty of room for doing things.

The unnecessary internal friction is far less than expected.

And if Clayden Investment Bank can continue to develop, Nick, who is already the head of the investment department, is likely to become one of the top leaders.

It is precisely because of this that Nick said what he had just said to Doug.

Because, he really hopes that Clayden Investment Bank can continue to exist, rather than disappear under the deliberate attack of Wall Street.

However, it seems that his persuasion has no effect.

The name of Wall Street is not famous in the eyes of people outside Wall Street.

Even those who know it don’t know what kind of power this name contains.

Nick sighed secretly. Perhaps returning to Wall Street is his destiny.

As for these five addresses, I will go and check it out before I leave.

In this case, even if I return to Wall Street, I will have more information to say.

Then he got on the official carriage of Clayden Investment Bank and headed to the first address in the newspaper, "Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory".

The surrounding area of ​​Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory has changed a lot from the beginning.

The slum opposite, near the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory, has become one clean and tidy building after another.

Although these small buildings look a bit too simple.

However, it is a building made of cement and iron tendons.

Of course, these buildings are not very durable.

After all, these buildings are built at inappropriate temperatures.

But even so, these small buildings can still be regarded as high-end residential buildings in New Haven.

The owners of these high-end homes are employees of Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory.

The workers at the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory have become a source of income for more people at this moment.

Near high-end residences, not only is there a market, but there are many people around the market who help workers do things.

For example, housekeeping services are better than small hotels.

This place is becoming a core neighborhood in New Haven.

And all of this was formed naturally in a very short time.

However, he didn't know these Nicks, so he only saw a bunch of two-story buildings opposite the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory.

However, he didn't know when these two-story buildings were built.

And opposite these two-story buildings is the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory.

This printing and dyeing factory that initially purchased the Sosmith Printing and Dyeing Factory has also undergone many changes.

First of all, the large-scale use of steam power, and the "semi-automated" production line has pushed the production of "Monopoly" to the extreme.

The Monopoly produced here every day has more than 3,500 sets.

This number may not seem to be much.

But you should know that the market capacity of "Monopoly" in New Haven is only 3,500 sets.

In other words, the Monopoly produced here is sold far more places than imagined.

"Hello, I am Nick from Clayden Investment Bank. President Doug asked me to come here for a visit. This was written by President Doug himself." Nick got off the official carriage and said.

Opposite him was a small house, and the person in this small house was Nathan.

As a dog licking, Nathan licked not women, but Doug.

His attentiveness to Doug was far beyond Doug's imagination.

In addition, although his abilities are not outstanding, he does not need to be very outstanding as a security captain.

Therefore, with his excellent tongue, he became the security captain of the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory.

This security captain is different from the previous verbal security captain.

Not only do you have the authority to attend higher-level meetings, but you even have more salary.

Of course, these wages are also quite a lot for Nathan.
To be continued...
