Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 306 Entering the French stock market

   Paris Stock Exchange, the largest stock exchange in France.

  It was founded in 1724. French securities are listed on the exchange through banks. There are bank representatives in the exchange to serve customers, but securities transactions must be carried out through securities brokers.

   Brokers are designated by the Ministry of Finance and Economics. Securities brokers accept the entrustment of clients to buy and sell securities, grasp the quantity of supply and demand and the price range required by buyers and sellers, conduct transactions on behalf of clients, and receive commissions from them.

  The price of securities is determined by the relationship between supply and demand, and the official quotation is announced by the Exchange Business Committee after listening to the opinions of the brokerage association.

  France Since 1961, all exchanges have implemented "single price".

  The Paris Stock Exchange issues national, international and foreign securities, and the seven provincial exchanges operate regional securities trading and divide their respective jurisdictions.

   But sometimes a security is also traded on several exchanges at the same time, with a uniform price.

   In other words, through the channels of Standard Chartered Bank, Yang Chen can trade on any exchange in France.

  The Brokers Association, composed of brokers from seven French exchanges, is a private institution.

   Today, the Paris Stock Exchange ranks fourth among the world's major exchanges, after New York, Tokyo and London.

  After having breakfast with Laura at the hotel, Yang Chen came to Standard Chartered's branch headquarters in France.

   This time, Yang Chen has loaned 300 million US dollars, and using 20 times leverage means that Standard Chartered needs to pay 6 billion US dollars in advance.

   With so much money, the branch of Standard Chartered Bank in Paris will definitely not be able to take out that much money for a while, but fortunately, Yang Chen communicated with the president of Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong in advance.

   Now, the funds are in place and he can withdraw them at any time.

  Paris Stock Exchange, the opening time is around 9:30, and now the funds Yang Chen needs have entered his personal account opened at Standard Chartered Bank.

   This time Yang Chen brought eight traders from Xiangjiang, and Standard Chartered Bank also provided him with eight traders.

   This is a one-shot transaction, unlike the Xiangjiang that drags on for a few months, and the transaction will end in a few days.

Although   6 billion is a lot, in the big pond in France, if you drop it, you will hear at most a sound.

  Paris, France, at 9:30 local time, the Paris Stock Exchange opened on time.

   The second round of the French general election will be held on May 7 and will end on May 10.

   In other words, he has only seven days, or six days, to complete the transaction.

  $6 billion entered the stock market. Under normal circumstances, people would definitely be tracked down.

   But at this time, the Paris presidential election has attracted the attention of countless people, and at the same time, countless financial crocodiles have gathered, and some of them have quietly entered the market long ago.

   At this time, people enter the market every day. In the face of these financial giants from all over the world, it is obviously impossible for the stock exchange to find out the background of these people.

   With so many big crocodiles coming over, who is in the mood to investigate these things, it is better to wait quietly for the election to end.

   Even so, Yang Chen was still very careful, he didn't throw the money all at once, but let a group of traders do it carefully.

  Don't shoot, sneak into the village.

   There is still time anyway, the stock exchange is open every day from 9:30 am to 11:30 am and 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

   Billion per day, in stages so that you can minimize the attention of others.

   Morning trading ends

   Yang Chen looked at Laura beside him, and asked, "Laura, do you know where there is a Chinese restaurant nearby?"

   "Ah, what?" Laura was in a trance, obviously didn't hear what Yang Chen just said.

   "Chinese restaurant" Yang Chen repeated.

  Laura understood immediately, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, there is a Chinatown in the Thirteenth District, where are there many Chinese restaurants."

   It seemed that she went to that place a lot, and she might even try any Chinese restaurant.

   Chinatown in the 13th district of Paris is the largest Chinese gathering place in Europe. It is located in the center of Paris, not far from Standard Chartered Bank, only a few minutes' drive away.

  There are not only Chinese shops, but also striking Chinese characters everywhere, as well as red lanterns that symbolize Chinese traditions.

  Before and after the Spring Festival, Paris Chinatown was decorated with lights, a festive atmosphere and a very strong festive atmosphere.

  In Paris Chinatown, you can not only buy all kinds of food that Chinese people like, but also all kinds of traditional Chinese buildings.

   Of course, there are not only Chinese people in Chinatown, but also residents of many other Asian countries, where there are not only Chinese restaurants, but also traditional food from other countries.

   In his previous life, Yang Chen had never been abroad, and naturally he had never seen the legendary Chinatown.

   Hearing that there is a Chinatown in Paris, Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a little bit moved, but then he was a little hesitant.

  The reason why Yang Chen hesitated was mainly because Laura recognized him at a glance. Even a Frenchman recognized him at a glance, not to mention the Chinese.

   However, Yang Chen, who was itchy, finally decided to take a look after struggling a few times.

   Of course, not now, the Paris Stock Exchange will continue to open at one o'clock in the afternoon, with a difference of just over an hour.

   At this time, apart from having a meal, it is obviously impossible to go shopping.

   And in the middle of the day, even if he wears sunglasses, he is easy to be recognized, so it is better to wait until the evening when there is time to go shopping.

   Yang Chen has never had the habit of following the customs of the countryside. In foreign countries, as long as the conditions allow, he will basically choose to eat Chinese food.

  Because of Laura and other French traders, Wu Yaoxin deliberately chose two servings of Chinese and Western food when he was packing meals.

   However, when the things arrived, a group of French traders were interested in Chinese food, and even Laura unceremoniously reached out to his lunch box with a fork.

   After a day of getting along, Laura seems to have seen that Yang Chen is a very talkative person, so he doesn't care about it.

   Seeing Yang Chen looking at her, Laura stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, but she didn't stop.

   Having a meal with a beautiful woman is naturally a very pleasant thing, not to mention that this is a rare beauty in front of you.

  Although Wu Yaoxin packed a lot of things for him, he couldn't stop the two foodies from competing with each other.

   That kind of scene, everyone watching is looking at each other.

   At the same time, several traders from Standard Chartered Bank seem to have been greatly stimulated by their potential. The goddess of their company was attracted by a foreigner. This is definitely a very blow to them.

   In the face of Yang Chen, the billionaire who made billions of dollars, several French traders did not dare to have other ideas.

  So, they focused their attention on several Chinese traders like themselves, and they all worked hard to grab each other's food to eat.

  The behavior of the French trader made Wu Yaoxin and others speechless. Although our Chinese people are warm and hospitable, don't really treat yourself as an outsider!

  What is 'kindness', do you understand?

   Well, shouldn't the French understand this?

   In this regard, Wu Yaoxin and others could only touch their noses, speed up their meals, and race against their opponents.
