Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 299 The Trembling 【Sphinx】

After Derry dealt with the witnesses, he opened a private meeting room separate from the casino.

Most casinos have private meeting rooms inside, which are generally used for financiers, traders, etc. to conduct some shady underground transactions.The private conference room of each casino has a matching teleportation array for escape service. In order to ensure that the teleportation array is in place, this teleportation array maintains a critical trigger state every time it is activated. Once any problem occurs, the personnel in the conference room can immediately Teleport away.

However, in this way, the conference room needs to consume more energy, so the casino's conference room needs to pay a full activation fee every time it is used.

[Transaction Payment: 5000 [Basic Assets] + 500 [Extraordinary Assets - Energy System]]

"In [Financial Street], money is spent everywhere. Once there is no money or bankruptcy, it is equivalent to being directly kicked out of the 'big family' of the financial genealogy. Therefore, sometimes I really envy Youyang and other conventional genealogy System, at least their abilities are really in their own hands, even without the assistance of the pedigree, their extraordinary power will not dissipate because of it!"

While pushing open the heavy solid iron door of the underground conference room, Deli sighed to Xia Xiu who was following behind him.

"People from other pedigrees in Youyang also envy you. If you have assets, you can drive the [Financial Beast] with the same authority as the [Avatar of Master]." Xia Xiu replied to Derry with a smile.

"It really means that people outside the wall envy those inside the wall, and people inside the wall yearn for people outside the wall." Derry smiled self-deprecatingly.

While the two were talking, they had already stepped into the secret meeting room.

The underground meeting room of the casino is in line with its expensive price. The interior lighting design of the meeting room skillfully combines modern technology and mysterious atmosphere. The dim light softly illuminates the whole room, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

The walls of the conference room are clad in a dark wood finish, and on the walls are heavy and historic paintings that show the power and glory of the past.In the center of the room is a large round table with fine tableware and documents on it.

The chairs surrounding the round tables are all high-backed, providing comfort and support to attendees.

There is a small bar area in one corner of the room, which serves a variety of precious liquors and spirits, allowing participants to enjoy a unique luxury and relaxation during breaks.

Adélie Penguin invited the blond-haired youth to sit with him in the small bar area. It seemed that he wanted to show a more intimate relationship with his collaborator.

【Ding--】

[Adlis Derry, senior partner of Turney Headhunting Company, launched a [short-term deal] to Van Helsing! 】

【Trade · [Stock lending]. 】

When one person and one penguin were seated, Derry directly launched a deal with the blond youth in front of him to show his sincerity.

Looking at the pop-up window, Xia Xiu showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. He likes to communicate with these decisive people. His golden eyes have already fallen on the transaction content on the pop-up window.

[Stock lending] is a very important operation in the market. It forms a double-edged sword with the concept of [stock borrowing]. This double-edged sword makes financial market transactions even more bloody.

Lending and borrowing can literally see their specific functions.

In layman's terms: In a stock lending transaction, the stock holder (lender) temporarily transfers the ownership of the stock to the borrower, and the borrower promises to return the same number of stocks within the agreed period.

Stock lending is usually intermediary by financial institutions (such as brokerages, investment banks) who connect stock borrowers and stock lenders and assist in completing the lending transaction.In this type of transaction, the stock borrower usually needs to pay a certain interest fee to the stock lender as compensation for the stock borrowing.

That is to say, the lender can obtain interest charges, while the borrower temporarily obtains the right to use the stock to complete some of their own financial operations, such as the current Delhi and Xiaxiu.

Xia Xiu needs [Financial Beast·Sphinx] to carry out some operations, and in the rules of [Financial Street], controlling [Financial Beast] needs to meet the corresponding prerequisites for holding shares, so the two borrow this temporary The operation can complete the transaction under the condition that both parties benefit.

However, if lending and borrowing only have the above-mentioned gameplay, then it is not enough to become a double-edged sword that disturbs the financial market. They also have a relatively well-known core gameplay-[short selling] and [hedging].

[Hedging] involves the financial concept of [position]. General hedging includes [long-short hedging], [derivatives hedging], [currency hedging] and so on.

And [short selling] refers to: the 'borrower' may hold a bearish view on a certain stock, hoping to profit from the decline in the stock price.They can borrow stocks and sell them, and then buy them back at a lower price and return them to the stock lender after the stock price falls, profiting from it.

The process of [shorting] can be briefly described as follows:
Borrowing assets: Investors borrow target assets (such as stocks) from securities companies or other financial institutions, and usually need to pay certain interest charges.

Short selling: Investors immediately sell the borrowed assets at the market price to obtain corresponding funds.

Waiting for the price to fall: Investors expect the price of the target asset to fall so that they can buy back the asset at a lower price in the future.

Buy back and return: When the price of the target asset falls to the expected level, the investor buys back the asset at a lower price and returns it to the lender.

Profit or loss: Investors calculate profit or loss based on the difference between the buying and selling prices.

The core idea of ​​[short selling] can be summed up as follows: I think you are going to fall, so borrow your stock before you fall, and then quickly sell it at a price lower than the market price, and when it falls, use it at a lower price. Buy the stock at a certain price, and then return the stock.

In addition to the interest charges paid in the early stage, other benefits are basically empty hands, and if you want to be more crazy, [short selling] can also be used together with [financial leverage].

It seems simple, but what [short selling] pays attention to is the sensitivity of financiers to information and their ability to predict the future.

If someone maliciously creates or manipulates market conditions in order to cause the price of a particular stock or asset to fall for a profit.They use false information about [shorting] a stock, manipulate trading activity, or other means to induce other investors to sell the stock, thereby driving down the price of the stock.

This way of taking advantage of investors' greed, inexperience, or information asymmetry to gain benefits by manipulating the market or engaging in fraudulent behavior is the same as 'cutting leeks'.

In the financial market, there are always slices of people who think they are smart people become leeks. The tireless work of these people makes them an indispensable piece of the puzzle of the financial market.

At this moment, Xia Xiuxiu, who had already borrowed money, was playing with the unregistered white [financial card] in his hand, and three messages of [Financial Street] popped up in his eye sockets.

[You have completed the borrowing! 】

[You have obtained 4.25% of the shares of Teni Company, and you have obtained the temporary summoning certificate of the financial beast! 】

[Because it is borrowing equity, you cannot use this financial beast to do any malicious hostile behavior against the lender! 】

After playing around for a while, the blond youth raised the [financial card] in his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Start Financial Sphinx."

A magic circle appears above the [financial card]. The center of the magic circle is a circle, which symbolizes infinite circulation and balance.Around the center of the circle, criss-crossing lines and curves interweave to form complex and precise geometric patterns.These patterns are like a path to the unknown, leading the flow and transformation of energy.

With a gentle flash of light, [Financial Beast Sphinx] was summoned.

[Sphinx] is a half-man, half-lion financial beast.It has the body of a lion, the head of a human, and the wings of an eagle.On the whole, its appearance is mysterious and full of power, and its eyes are tightly closed at this time.

When the [Sphinx] appeared, Xia Xiuxiu looked him up and down with great interest.

[Financial Beast] is different from [Master Incarnation], the latter is a power incarnation formed by the secret key and [Master]'s huge EVE particles and huge ARad field distortion, which can be understood as the materialization of [Master's] will, Every move of the avatar completely follows the will of the [Master]; while the Financial Beast is different, it is a conceptual thing formed by the accumulation of many assets, and its foundation of existence is endowed by [Financial Street] , so each [Financial Beast] has considerable intelligence and characteristics, and the conceptual authority held by each [Financial Beast] is determined by their characteristics.

Looking at the [Sphinx] who slowly opened his eyes, Xia Xiu unconsciously began to recall the other party's abilities. He remembered that the other party had two authority abilities named [Riddle Power] and [Wisdom Insight].

Especially the authority of [Smart Insight], this ability can call the resources of [Financial Street].

That is to say, the opponent has the right to operate at the highest level among the seven levels of [Ether Ocean]. This level is responsible for the interaction and stability of information and concepts between reality and the ether. A projection of a terrifying existence.

[Sphinx] can see some things that should not be seen. Of course, if the thaumaturgy level of the peeped person is high enough, it can also counter this peeping.

The 4.25% [Sphinx] can see things that are not of the financial street nature, but...
Xia Xiu stroked his chin, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to show the other party something nice.

When [Sphinx] opened his eyes, a thick red book and a card as pure as white paper appeared on the left and right hands of the blond youth respectively.

These two things are: the red book of the genealogy of the kingdom of heaven that has been disconnected from the Internet, and the [white card · savior] of the red king.

"It is you, an equal mortal, who summoned me..."

At this time, the haughty [Sphinx] was just as usual, reciting the opening words when he was summoned.

At the same time, its eyes are slowly opening. There are many circles engraved in those slowly opening eyes. These circles are constantly rotating like moving pictures. This is the sign of [Wisdom Observation] when it is used. .

It habitually uses [Wisdom Observation] to peek at everything about the summoner. It likes the feeling of seeing everything. This feeling is like tearing open the packaging box, and opening the box is to break the opponent's hypocrisy.

[Sphinx] likes to open boxes.

However, today's [Sphinx] is very regretful, at this moment it can't wait to poke its own eyes, so as not to let itself look directly at the blond youth in front of it.

Because, with one more look, it's literally about to blow up.

Just now, the moment [Sphinx] opened its eyes and saw the blond youth, its pupils shrank suddenly, and the rotating circle inside it froze like a moving picture. Afterwards, these circles seemed to be It's like double speed, and it keeps accelerating and spinning.

A huge amount of information rushed towards the [Sphinx], and blood and tears flowed from its double holes.

It saw, in the boundless ether starry sky, countless gigantic monsters that were astonishingly large, the huge shell shone with metallic luster, refracting the faint flickering of starlight, and at the top of the giant monsters, there was a The breath of destruction; in the etheric rift near Terra, huge metal rings wrap complex geometric structures, war weapons with two pairs of holy wings surround the structure, and huge walls traverse In the boundless ether starry sky; and in the depths, there is a terrifying, indescribable light group, countless [ether spirits] trembling, they sang instinctive praises to it, they called him—【Almighty】 !
It saw, in the depths of the sea of ​​chaotic stars in [Crystal Sky], the abnormally spinning creation.The cold, grayness of the old world, the meaningless howling of the new world surrounded a huge red creature, crowned with gold and surrounded by a halo of red.

Do not look directly at the Ancient of Days.

It saw everything, and then, its protection mechanism made it forget everything quickly.

[Sphinx] I swear that it will never open the box again. Although it has forgotten what it saw, it knows what it should not see from the constant trembling of its soul. s things.

"It's really like the rumors, [Financial Beast] has the ability to forget to prevent itself from triggering [Mythical Factor · Shame Mechanism]."

Just when [Sphinx] was trembling, he saw his temporary 'master' walking in front of him.

The handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes looked at the shivering riddle beast, and said with a gentle smile:

"Come on, let's start the quiz game now."

"Oh, by the way, I like to be a riddle, but I don't like others to be a riddle in front of me, you should know what I mean?"
