Chapter 95 Stronghold

  The earliest Lower East Side was an Irish neighborhood, later Eastern and Southern Europeans came, making it a Jewish gathering place. The former mainly lived in the south of Lower East Side, which is also Chen Yi's main destination this time.

  Real estate agents in New York are well paid and provide more considerate services.

  After contacting Chen Yi by phone and learning that he wanted to buy paper, Mr. Green drove his own Buick, taking the two of them on a wild goose chase around town, without mentioning the house at all.

  He sells a lot of houses every month, but there are few deals in Times Square, and he wants to grasp some tightly.

  Compared with Jiangning, New York's paper products market is even more advanced.

  Chen Yi bluntly found a Chinese translator and told him, "I want to use paper made from pure wood pulp. The wood pulp must be made from only one type of tree, the denser and harder the better. As long as you find it, I'll pay you for a day's work."

  This requirement is also the most likely way to produce scroll paper that has been excavated so far.

  Generally, the density can be made on pine wood pulp paper, at least to reach the standard of rolled paper, and birch is equivalent, with a higher probability of low-grade rolls. Occasionally, there are papers made from a small amount of oak, which tend to produce medium-grade rolls.

  The translator was unfamiliar with the market and asked for half a day without getting any results.

  It was still Mr. Green, a real estate agent, who came out and made his way through the paper products market with two sentences, rushing to the few major suppliers.

  Compared with Chen Yi's strange request, there are many stranger requests in the world. Suppliers have long been accustomed to this.

  The merchant, dressed like a western cowboy, knocked his pipe with the heel of his boot and smiled: "As long as you have money, there's nothing you can't buy in New York. The worst hardwood is used to make furniture and decoration materials, and it's expensive to use it to make paper."

  "Give me a sample first."

  The cowboy merchant chuckled and yelled out back, "Jack, bring a few sheets of that West African paper."

  West Africa?

  "There are no furnishings or decorations available there." The merchant smiled cunningly: "Their craftsmanship is backward, but the materials are absolutely good. Try it out and see for yourself whether it's pure or not."

  In fact, he didn't dare confirm whether the paper was pure or not.

  Although Africa has been plagued by war for years, in a specific city, encountering a disaster once every 5 years is unfortunate. They still have time to do some simple construction, mostly using local resources to produce ordinary products, and if they can be exported to other countries in exchange for foreign exchange, it would be the happiest thing.

  American businessmen can often pick and choose with extremely low prices, get the best raw materials made into inferior goods, but the market price is not much.

  Managed to get a box of paper, Chen Yi got the other party's phone number, and today's goal was achieved.

  Forget it, Mr. Green looked at him expectantly and said: "Mr. Chen, shall we take a look at the house now?"

  "Okay, I want a restaurant with good food nearby. Also, let's first find one that does takeout."

  Hearing him say that, Emily immediately clapped her hands and said: "I'm almost starving to death, I was just thinking, do you not need to eat at all... your figure is so well maintained."

  She actually touched it without any hesitation.

  Chen Yi stood still and unmoving.

  As for the art of seduction, Jindalrae's moves are even more clever. The two have been living in a room together for several days, and they haven't taken advantage of each other much, but their resistance has increased greatly.

  "Mr. Green suggested, 'There are some nice apartments on Hughes Street, let's take a look at them first and then have dinner at a nearby restaurant. Do you like Eastern European food? If so, that would be great. Then we can head to Times Square afterwards. We still have several hours before dinner, plenty of time...'"

  In fact, Mr. Broker overestimated Chen Yi's pickiness about the house.

  Chen Yi originally used the house as a base, not staying inside every day, so he just took a rough look around and confirmed that there were restaurants within walking distance nearby, which was enough to satisfy him.

  Rented two apartments and bought a house worth $4.7 million, all within 1.5 hours, with one hour spent on the road.

  When they get the money, the big green, they start worshipping Chinese people, just like they used to worship Western Europeans, Northern Europeans, Arabs and Japanese.

  Having met the real one, and knowing that Chen Yi is about to leave, Emily can only reluctantly leave her phone number behind, saying: "I work on Fifth Avenue three days a week. Next time you come, I'll make tea for you."

  She knew Chen Yi liked the bubble tea she brought herself. At first, the waitresses were a bit annoyed, but soon succumbed to the $20 greenbacks.

  Chen classmate smiled and said: "No problem, if you come to China, I will also make tea for you."

  "It's settled then." The blonde laughed, showing her teeth, and the big green one was extremely envious - he wasn't wealthy enough to attract such a beautiful woman yet.

  Dragging his suitcase and carrying a large bag of Eastern European restaurant's grilled beef ribs, Chen Yi got back on the subway.

  The newly purchased paper indeed meets the requirements.

  The mages of the Kingdom of San Qi O, after searching through nearly 10,000 sheets of paper, found about 200 mid-grade scroll papers and 12 high-grade scroll papers, which were obtained with the highest proportion after repeated searches.

  Chen Yi calculated for a moment and said: "Roughly according to this time's standard, I will bring three times the amount of scroll materials within three to six days."

  If I buy three or four large boxes of paper products at once, it should be able to meet at least half the amount promised earlier.

  "Thank you, Master." Timothy was such a clever person, and he immediately bowed his head and said: "Please let the Master know that we monks are working day and night to make scrolls, and we will set out within ten days.

  "Alright. It's best this way, I'll head back first too." Chen Yi nodded at the Holy Knight and continued to select some commonly used potions and green crystal fruits on the crystal screen, causing the subway to slowly move backwards.

  Just a few minutes.

  Chen Yi walked out of Jiangning Riverside Metro Station.

  At this time in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun had just turned at its smallest angle, shining dimly, like a light bulb with insufficient wattage.

  After an hour back at school, Chen Yi felt again that he was wasting too much time.

  But he also had no choice, learning to drive wasn't something that could be done overnight, and if he used a driver, there would be too many inconvenient places.

  Just then, a loud and refreshing laugh came from ahead: "Isn't that Hercules going to eat breakfast?"

  "Up so early?" Chen Yi greeted him, amidst the admiring gazes of the students. He casually pulled out a box of beef ribs from his lunchbox and handed it to him after confirming there was no label: "Bought something good, pure meat, try some."

  "Meat, then I won't be polite." Da Meng was really not polite at all, grabbing it in his hand and starting to gnaw on it.

  Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand, walking towards his dormitory.

  At this point, Golden Source International on Wall Street began to make a comeback.

  Tang Xiongfei told Chen Yi in an excited tone: "We got 400 times the leverage of Mellon Bank."

  This is truly a terrifying number.

  Chen Yi quickly returned to his dormitory, opened his computer and contacted his sister, saying: "Control the risk and observe for a while."

  "I understand." Tang Xiongfei had some understanding of his boss's style, he was careless about small things, but cautious about big things. For anything over $5 million, nothing could be done without consulting him.

  This is actually Chen Congyu's style, which can be considered as an implicit inheritance from father to son.

  The Chen family does business in a straightforward way, without having to consider too many commercial things, as long as they don't have stupid ideas, they can make money.

  In comparison, controlling risks rather than reducing costs is relatively more important to them.

  Kim Duna was watching TV alone in boredom when she heard the door open, and before she could even talk to Chen Yi, he rushed into the room, causing her to pout slightly, but not knowing what to say.

  Chen Yi once again confirmed the limit of "Hai Yao" and its utilization rate without being detected, then said to Tang Xiongfei: "The total funds absolutely cannot exceed 1 billion US dollars, this point must be reflected in the software settings, everything else remains the same."

  The latter did not respond with a single dissenting voice, completely disregarding the opposition from traders within the company.

  In the eyes of employees, the more funds invested, the higher the returns will be, and their own commission ratio will also be higher.

  From 3.5 times leverage to 4 times leverage, it's a very high ratio, with each month's salary increase enough to buy a new car and rent a big house, who would have thought that I would be laid off?

  Tang Xiongfei ignored the two traders and informed Chen Yi after confirming, then instructed: "I know what you're thinking, but Jinyuan International has its own style. Our market is rising, I hope you can seize the opportunity."

  He immediately told his assistant, "Notify the interviewee, I have time this afternoon."

  The two traders finally understood the situation and dared not speak, nodding in agreement.

  When they came to King Yuan, it was still a small pudding point company. Who would have thought that now it has become the future star of Wall Street with great momentum.

  There will be countless Haval kids coming, and Yale wants to hitch a ride. This is quite an experience.

  Compared with commission, they are more concerned about their work.

  Chen Yi closely watched the situation of "Sea Monster" and Wall Street.

  Everything seems to be going smoothly.

  Apart from stable high income, amazing.

  $1.5 billion a day, if all were profits, would be $37.5 billion in pure income for 250 trading days a year - not much different from the top investment banks in the US.

  This is the charming Wall Street.

  Every minute, someone is making a fortune. In 2003, if it weren't for Kingsoft International, the huge sum that could have put one on the Forbes billionaire list would have belonged to a global e-commerce company or been swallowed up by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

  Chen Yi leaned back slowly in his chair, his right hand tapping out a rhythm.

  He has already been considering whether to increase investment.

  200 million US dollars in cash can make a big splash anywhere in the world?

  The knocking sound "bang bang" came again.

  "Who is it?"

  Outside the door was a hesitant voice: "I'm Lin Yuen, Chen Yi's class monitor. Is this room 2308?"

  Chen Yi rubbed his hair vigorously.
