Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 696 0684 [The golden finger that Du Yongxiao helped open]

Michael Jackson left PolyGram Records and came downstairs, when a gust of cold wind blew.

Mike couldn't help but shudder, suspecting that everything was just a dream. He lowered his head and looked at the 600,000 US dollars in his hand, and Mike felt more confident.

"What should I do? With so much money, should I use it to invest, or to buy a house, a car, clothes and watches that I like?" Mike's heart was in turmoil.

Suddenly, Mike shook his head, "I'd better do as Mr. Du said. Yes, he probably won't lie to me - but this... is 600,000 after all! Forget it, just pretend that you haven't made any money!"

How did Mike know that if he were the future king, Du Yongxiao would not have given him the golden finger alone.

According to Du Yongxiao's knowledge, the Coca-Cola Company's stock crisis caused the Wall Street stock market to undergo a major baptism.

At the beginning, the Dow Jones Index on Wall Street experienced the darkest plunge in history so far, from more than 1700 points in October to more than 1300 points in December!

Immediately afterwards, in January of the next year, Coca-Cola Company introduced a rescue policy, known in history as the "Coke Three-Step Self-Rescue Plan."

The first is to use celebrities to endorse products. This is also the principle that Coca-Cola will always follow in the future, using the star effect to reshape Coca-Cola's image in the minds of the people. The main focus is on celebrity brands to make young people love Coca-Cola even more. ,

On the other hand, medical experts across the United States were sought to refute the rumors, attributing Coca-Cola’s “caffeine” problem and “adolescent development” problems to the need to drink Coca-Cola in “moderate amounts.”

Third, Coca-Cola Company donates to major welfare institutions in the United States, focusing on the emotional card, and shaping the company into a positive and healthy beverage company.

Of course, these are superficial articles and can only change Coca-Cola's image in the minds of the public. Whether Coca-Cola's stock price can stop falling and rise depends on whether there are big bookmakers to buy it.

It just so happens that Du Yongxiao and Rockefeller are these two big bankers.

To put it more bluntly, Du Yongxiao is planning to join the big brother Rockefeller to become a banker, each investing hundreds of millions of dollars, and jointly speculate on Coca-Cola stock.

Originally this was a very secret matter, but Du Yongxiao had a good impression of Mike, so he prepared to give Mike a bargain and ask him to buy Coca-Cola stocks quickly.

As for whether Michael Jackson would believe him and really spend 600,000 US dollars on it, Du Yongxiao was not sure. After all, the two of them had only met once in total -

A casual relationship will make people throw all the money they earned from selling themselves into the stock market, unless the person is a fool or a lunatic.

……

Facts have proved that Michael Jackson is not a fool, he is a madman, otherwise it would be impossible to create "Moonwalk" and so many popular classic songs in the future.

Since he had to make a bet, Mike would really do it.

Early the next morning——

That is January 1974, 1.

Michael Jackson first called the "DM Stock Exchange" and directly asked to talk to the director of their exchange.

After the call was connected, Mike announced his home address, his last name, and planned to go to the exchange to invest and buy stocks.

At first, the director there named "Mattis" didn't take it seriously. If you want to invest, just invest. Why are you putting on such a big show?

Little did he know that Mike was a blank slate in stock investment and didn't know anything. He thought that to buy stocks, he had to call him first and tell the other party how much money he had and how he planned to buy it.

This Matisse despised Mike's approach at first, but when he heard that Mike was going to buy 600,000 yuan in one go, he was stunned!

Six hundred thousand dollars?

This is no small amount!

In particular, this "DM Stock Exchange" is a relatively small stock trading place, unlike those large trading houses where thousands, millions, or tens of millions are common on exchanges.

The tens of thousands he can get here are pretty good. Usually, investors buy for hundreds or thousands of dollars, and the exchange's commission is pitifully small.

But now——

Six hundred thousand, six hundred thousand!

Director Matisse was so excited that he couldn't control himself and immediately promised that if Mike came over, he would personally greet him and provide dedicated services!

……

At three o'clock that afternoon -——

As agreed on the phone, Michael Jackson went directly to the nearby DM Stock Exchange with $600,000.

As soon as he entered the door, Michael Jackson almost bumped into the person behind him. The person cursed: "Damn it! You don't have eyes when you walk? Hey, isn't this Michael Jackson? What, you're here to play stocks too?"

Michael Jackson turned around and saw a black man in a suit. When he looked again, he looked familiar. He turned out to be his cousin Diego.

Diego was wearing a suit and tie, with a diamond-encrusted watch on his wrist, and a black fashionable girl on his right hand, looking very stylish.

The girl took a look at Michael Jackson and said delicately: "He is the cousin who sells and sings on the street that you mentioned. He is quite handsome!"

Diego sneered: "Being handsome is useless! Their whole family sells and sings on the streets! Especially his father, who likes to drink and play cards. Every time he is either drunk or loses completely - well, not long ago he told me Borrow money!”    “Have you borrowed it?”

"What a loan. It's a thousand dollars. Can he afford to pay it back?" Diego glanced at Michael Jackson with disdain. "Don't say I'm ugly. This guy must be self-aware. ! Who is your father? You, the son, should know best!"

Michael Jackson looked at Diego with a calm expression.

This cousin Diego is a bit clever and is also the most promising among their relatives. At first, like Mike and the others, they all lived in the slums. Later, he made money by helping people with smuggling and opened a pawn shop. Okay, now he is considered a small upstart.

"Why, you are allowed to come in here, but I can't come?" Michael Jackson said coldly.

"Of course you can come, but have your family's debts been paid off? Do you want me to give you one or two hundred in charity? You're welcome, you're my cousin after all!" Diego said angrily.

The fashionable girl chuckled and said, "You are so generous. You can get one or two hundred for one shot! Why don't you thank your cousin quickly for that so-and-so?"

Facing the two people's sarcasm, Michael Jackson said coldly: "No, I'll keep the money to buy your own medicine!"

"Hey, damn it! You still don't care about my money? When you kneel down and beg me, don't say that I don't treat you as a relative!"

Just as Diego was mocking Michael Jackson with a look of disdain, a fat and white man ran out of the securities firm.

Diego knew that person, but he was the person in charge of the "DM Stock Exchange"—Mattis!

Diego usually had a good relationship with Matisse. He thought he came out to pick him up, so he deliberately shouted in a showy manner: "Mattisse, why did you come out? I just went to find you. How can I help you?" hehe!"

But Mattis didn't even look at him, and walked straight towards Michael Jackson, walked up to Michael Jackson, and said humbly: "You are the Mr. Jackson on the phone, you are indeed young and promising! As a distinguished guest of our DM Securities Company, I will personally be responsible for serving you this time!"

"Ah, what's going on?"

Diego and the woman were both dumbfounded. Looking at Mattis who was fawning and flattering in front of Michael Jackson, they wondered if their eyes were wrong.

"Diego, what happened? Why is Matisse so respectful to your cousin?"

"How do I know? When did he become a distinguished guest here?" Diego felt that his brain was not enough.

Without thinking much, Diego immediately stepped forward and grabbed Matisse and said: "Matisse, you don't recognize me? I am Diego. Didn't you want to help me open an account? Today I have already thought about it. Okay, let’s open an account with $10,000 first, and see if you can…”

"Sorry, I don't have time!" Matisse said coldly, "If you want to open an account worth 10,000 yuan for trading, just ask our sales staff!" Matisse is very good at math, 10,000 yuan and 600,000 yuan. Which one is important can be understood after a little consideration.

Diego was mute. He didn't expect Matisse's attitude to be so bad. He used to be so cheerful.

Matisse ignored the poor guy, turned to Michael Jackson with a smile and said: "Mr. Jackson, let's go, I will take you in and help you open an account myself!"

Seeing Mattis greeting a large group of people and surrounding Michael Jackson like stars, Diego and his girlfriend were dumbfounded as they entered the VIP room of the exchange.

……

VIP room——

Mattis personally brewed a cup of excellent Blue Mountain coffee for Michael Jackson, which he himself was reluctant to drink. He only brewed a cup himself when a big shot appeared to show respect.

Michael Jackson usually drinks cheap coffee. It was the first time he drank such good coffee, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Mike took a casual sip of coffee and said this time: "Hello, Mr. Matisse, I'm here as agreed with you. Here are 600,000. Count them! Yes, please help me open an account and process it." Get some funds.”

Matisse glanced at the bag of U.S. dollars that Mike put on the table, and his eyes immediately lit up.

At first he thought Mike was just talking casually on the phone, and he had no choice but to believe it, but now——

With a bag of U.S. dollars placed in front of him, Matisse no longer doubted that the young black man in front of him was a "rich man."

Matisse nodded hurriedly, "Of course, thank you Mr. Jackson for taking care of me!"

Recently, the entire Wall Street stock market has been in a slump. Because of the plummeting index, many people have lost money, and the exchange's business has been in a slump. Michael Jackson's purchase of 600,000 really helped this small exchange.

soon--

Mattis personally helped Michael Jackson complete the procedures. He originally thought that Michael Jackson would simply buy some stocks to test the waters, but Michael Jackson said: "No need to test the waters, give me all the 600,000 Coca-Cola stocks." Bought it!”

"Huh?" Matisse was startled, and even the trader in the VIP room was startled.

They know very well that Coca-Cola's stock is plummeting now and may continue to fall. If they buy all 600,000 yuan, they will not lose their money? !
