new work time!
Standing downstairs in the Condé Nast building, Li Yi looked a little dazed!
This is not his first time coming here. He has come here six times in his previous life.
Four of them came to invest with others and made a lot of small profits, and the remaining two came here to ring the bell!
Appearing here again, there is a feeling that things are different and people are different.
Speaking of the Condé Nast Building, not many people in the non-financial circle may know it, but if you mention the famous Nasdaq Securities Market, the three major U.S. stock markets, I am afraid most people have heard of it.
That’s right, the Condé Nast Building is where the trading center of the Nasdaq Stock Market is located. At its peak, there were more than 5,000 listed companies here, with a total market value of more than 15 trillion US dollars!
After entering the building, the dedicated Billy took the initiative to act as a tour guide and commentator, and talked endlessly to Li Yi about the history of the Nasdaq Securities Market: "Boss, the Nasdaq Securities Market was founded by the National Securities Exchange Business Association, the world's first electronic trading market founded and managed in 1971..."
When Billy talked endlessly about the situation of this trading market, Li Yi listened very seriously, although he was no stranger to the situation here.
Entering the building, Li Yi saw a scene completely different from the gold futures market.
There are no various hardware facilities commonly found in ordinary stock exchanges. Instead, there is a huge trading hall. A large number of electronic screens are hung in the center of the hall, which display the prices of various stocks. It looks very advanced in this era. And science fiction.
And although there are many people inside the building, there is no chaotic price bidding like the gold futures market. Everyone's eyes are fixed on the automatic quotation machine hanging in the center of the hall, and then they are writing and drawing with paper and pen. painting.
All in all, the trading methods here seem to be completely different from the securities trading markets elsewhere.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The Nasdaq stock exchange uses an automatic securities quotation system rather than a traditional quotation model.
Lan Xinyi, Cai Bingyan and others who were traveling with us were shocked to see such a simple and convenient quotation system being used here. Compared with the one on Hong Kong Island, this place is really too advanced.
Billy saw that Li Yi and others seemed to be very interested in the quotation method of the Nasdaq stock exchange market. When he explained: "The automatic quotation system used here was officially launched in 1971. It provides the market with high-speed , accurate stock price information, with this quotation system, even ordinary people can understand stock price fluctuations, providing convenience for securities transactions."
Li Yi took a closer look at the automatic quoter and soon saw several familiar companies, including Apple, Intel, etc.
Nasdaq is the world's first electronic trading market. The companies listed here are mainly high-tech companies, including software, computers, telecommunications, biotechnology, retail and wholesale trade, etc.
In Li Yi's understanding, the current Nasdaq is equivalent to the GEM of the domestic securities market, except that it started earlier and the market size is larger.
"Billy, I remember that you don't restrict foreigners from entering the stock market, right?" Li Yi asked.
"Yes, the government doesn't care whether those who enter the stock market are American citizens!" Billy said affirmatively.
"Then if I want to operate a certain stock now, what exactly should I do?" Li Yi asked again.
"You need to take your passport to a securities company to open a stock account during trading hours, and deposit the corresponding funds, then you can operate stocks!"
Then Billy said again: "If you don't have a lot of funds to operate, you can also let our company do it for you. The cost is not high, and you can avoid some unnecessary risks, but..."
"But what?" Li Yi asked immediately.
"However, Nasdaq lists some high-tech companies. The market value of these companies is generally high, and the risk factor is much higher than that of the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange. Do you really decide to invest in the stock market here?" Billy road.
Li Yi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm just trying to have fun, and I'm not planning to invest too much money at the moment!"
It is true that the stock market is risky, but when Li Yi saw Apple's stock price of $22 on the automatic quoter, he didn't want to say anything more and just finished it!
Can you believe Apple’s stock price of $22?
This is Apple. 40 years later, the company’s stock price has reached $182, and its market value has exceeded $3 trillion, which is equivalent to the GDP of the world’s fifth largest economy, second only to the United States, China, and Japan. and the four major countries of Germany.
What's more important is that Apple was officially listed last year, and only 4.6 million shares were publicly issued. This is a real original stock.
In the next 40 years, these stocks will undergo four stock splits, and the overall stock price will increase 500 times.
It can be said that as long as you buy these stocks now, you can make a lot of money in the future with your eyes closed, which is much more than investing in domestic courtyard houses.
Now, in addition to Apple, there are dozens of technology giants, large and small, including Intel, waiting for Li Yi to choose. There is no risk at all.
Thinking of this, Li Yi turned to Zhou Xinghua next to him and asked: "Assistant Zhou, how much funds can we use now?"
"No more than 15 million US dollars, of which at least 5 million must be reserved for daily expenses and emergencies!" Zhou Xinghua said.
"Take out 10 million and count it as my temporary borrowed funds. If I lose money, I will make up for it later!" Li Yi said lightly.
"good!"
Zhou Xinghua agreed without hesitation!
On the one hand, the money itself belongs to Li Yi, and there is no problem for him to use it temporarily.
On the other hand, Zhou Xinghua is Li Futiao's most trusted right-hand man. Before he came, Li Futiao specifically told him that he must obey Li Yi's command in everything he got here.
Taking advantage of Zhou Xinghua's opportunity to mobilize funds, Li Yi immediately said to Billy: "Please help me introduce the trading rules here!"
Although he still understands most of the rules here, the rules he knows are from decades later and should be different from now.
Naturally, Billy would not refuse Li Yi's request.
At the moment, he coughed lightly and introduced the trading rules of the Nasdaq stock market to Li Yi: "Nasdaq adopts the T+0 rule. Buying on the same day can be sold on the same day, and no Set price limits for individual stocks..."
Li Yi listened very carefully. While listening to Billy's explanation, he was also comparing it with the trading rules of later generations.
Although some of the current rules are indeed quite different from those of later generations, the core trading principles have not changed much, which made Li Yi relax a lot.
An hour later, under Zhou Xinghua's operation, 10 million U.S. dollars was transferred into the stock account established by Sharp.
Subsequently, Li Yi officially entered the US stock market Nasdaq!
However, just when Li Yi was preparing to play with U.S. stocks while waiting for the price of gold to plummet, the situation on Hong Kong Island suddenly changed, and the storm was about to come...
