Chapter 12 The Sad Pawn
Ye Dongqing knew Rubin Duck's fear of trouble, so she could not be too careful in his career. She was relieved to force the test paper to the other party.
As long as it is not sold on a large scale, the results of those two exams will not be affected. There have been examples of canceling exams due to leaks in exam questions in history. Judging from the current situation, the risk is extremely low.
He didn't know that Rubin duck threw away his schoolbag without even looking at it, otherwise it would have been easier.
Both the ACT and SAT exams are scheduled at the end of October, and there are only a few days left. You must hurry up and review. If you want to enter a world-class university, your grades must stand out, but it is not possible alone.
Review is important, and earning living expenses is equally important.
On the morning of October 19th, Ye Dongqing went to the library and borrowed a computer.
He was not sure whether Rubin Duck had recorded his watch number, so the best way was to turn the stolen goods obtained from extortion into money through the Internet. It is naturally more convenient than traveling far away to Philadelphia, Boston and other places to sell stolen goods, and using the Internet to sell things in the library at the doorstep.
In this era, after more than a decade of crazy rise, the Internet industry has become relatively developed. Companies such as Microsoft and Cisco have long become giants, while problematic companies such as American Online and SUN have gone bankrupt with the collapse of the Internet bubble in the past two years.
Nowadays, a huge majority of investors are beginning to wake up, thinking that the Internet industry is simply a scam and that most companies have no development prospects.
Only a very small number of people still hold an optimistic attitude, thinking that just a reshuffle can be beneficial to long-term development. Those who are optimistic about them and take practical actions to invest money in them will most likely make a lot of money in a few years.
In Ye Dongqing's eyes, the computers in 2002 were pitifully simple, and the Internet experience was very bad. The screen flashed and it could blind people's eyes. They were all old computers around 2000, equipped with Microsoft Windows-XP operating system.
Most other industries have long been solidified, and it is difficult to get involved. The best investment field in front of him now is the Internet industry. Entering Yahoo search through IE browser, falling from more than 5,000 points, and the Nasdaq index with only more than 1,130 points is pitiful.
If he had a startup capital of hundreds of thousands of dollars and even if he didn't do anything, he would invest in some stocks, and Ye Dongqing could still become a millionaire at home. Unfortunately, he had no money at the moment and only had more than 40 dollars in cash left, which was a tragedy on earth.
After looking through the stock situations of dozens of companies that have an impression of themselves, my heart became more and more excited. No matter what, I have to make some money first recently. These companies will not rise in one day. Just letting the investors pick up the lost confidence, it will take a long time, and there are still many opportunities for Ye Dongqing to get on the bus.
As a professional money laundering expert, analyzing the company's stock situation is a necessary skill, not to mention that there is no need to analyze it at all. He remembers the future market value of many companies, such as Apple, whose future market value exceeds one trillion US dollars, has a total market value of only more than $4 billion. This year, it has just launched the second-generation iPod player, using a touch sensing control method called "Touch-wheel".
There is also Amazon, whose market value exceeds one trillion US dollars in the future, with a total market value of only more than six billion US dollars. Because the Internet bubble has fallen so badly, Microsoft is slightly better, with a market value of more than two hundred billion. Ye Dongqing is not interested in it, and the rate of return is destined to be low.
The information on the Internet is already quite rich, but unfortunately there is no smartphone to go online anytime and anywhere. You have to use a computer to view data. As soon as you are free, Ye Dongqing took the time to pay attention to them and listed an investment list in her mind.
I was drooling and was worried about the lack of money in my pocket. No matter how much I had no money to invest, it would be useless. Instead, it made me feel bored and frustrated. I simply returned to the Yahoo homepage and searched for forums related to Rolex.
Register and post a message, a very new Rolex Black Submarine, priced at 4,000 US dollars, and registered another account, and hung the Vacheron Constantin Zongheng Sihai series watches, the price was much higher, priced at 16,000 US dollars, leaving an MSN-MESSENGER account on it, the new account just registered is a live chat program launched by Microsoft.
Don’t think of selling it for a while. Eighty percent of New Yorkers’ bank accounts will not exceed one thousand dollars. When it comes to advanced consumption mentality, Americans claim to be second, so no one dares to claim first. This means that most netizens do not have spare money to buy watches, and even if they have money, they may not necessarily want to buy them.
When did he say something? There was no tens of millions of dollars in his account for Ye Dongqing to squander. The money for selling the watch is very important to him at present, which will directly affect whether to eat hot dogs or dirt in the next few days.
With dozens of dollars still more than one day, he made up his mind to go to Brooklyn or farther Long Island to exchange his watch for cash if it was not sold until noon tomorrow.
In the next two hours, three people added his friends one after another. Two of them only asked if they would buy it, and the other wanted to buy a Black Water Ghost, but wanted to wait until the salary was paid next month before the deal was completed, but Ye Dongqing refused.
By looking at the news, the global economic situation, and the latest US current political updates, Ye Dongqing has regained his memories of this era and remembered that the US military will use force against Iraq in March next year.
When talking about the unlucky leader of a country, Lao Sa is really rich. By controlling the country, his personal wealth has reached 20 to 30 billion US dollars. After the defeat, a large part of his wealth was taken away by the US officials. Many senior military politicians and senior military officials secretly stuffed the money into their pockets.
Don't ask Ye Dongqing how he knew about this. He had washed one of the money, which was as much as 20 million pounds. There were three silver stars hanging on his employer's uniform. In the end, he only threw out a "hard work fee" of only 350,000 US dollars. He didn't dare to ask the other party for the remaining money. This mute loss was unforgettable.
When it comes to corruption, American politicians are the most powerful, especially some people in the White House and the Pentagon, who are completely shady.
Take the US military for example. The purchase cost of cups is as high as more than 1,000 US dollars, the purchase price of disposable meal plates for meals is dozens of US dollars, the military toilet is priced at tens of thousands, and the price of a small air-mounted refrigerator is similar to a Vacheron Constantin watch. It is a luxury product, and it is obvious what is hidden inside.
In December 2017, under the mandatory requirement of Congress, the US military launched the first comprehensive audit in history, involving all aspects of the Pentagon, and found that nearly a trillion dollars have been missing since 1996!
The involvement was too wide, and Washington was shocked. Ye Dongqing was in a bad mood. One of his employers was facing an investigation and was worried that they would be caught more, so they killed Ye Dongqing, which was to silence him or demonstrate.
Are you frustrated? Of course, a survey took more than half a year to investigate, but the powerful figures were not found, but instead implicated him to death.
