After staying in Washington for a few days to relax, Aman was protected by Hank and other USS and went to Hartford, Connecticut, on the east coast of the United States.
They didn't come here for tourism, because there is a veteran American arms company, Colt.
Aman certainly wouldn't buy Colt recklessly.
It is unrealistic to annex companies that have existed since the 19th century.
But a small arms company called DiMarco in Ontario, Canada, happened to be acquired by Colt.
And Aman's goal is that DiMarco.
Colt's senior management was unwilling to transfer at first, after all, their ambition was to get orders for Canadian Army standard rifles.
But...
However, the price given by Aman is too attractive.
With the military configuration of 60,000 people in Canada and the nature of the country, the annual gun orders are capped at about 10 million, and Colt only spent more than 100 million when he acquired DiMarco.
And Aman proposed to directly hit the greedy hearts of these capitalists at a price of 250 million.
There are ready-made money, don't you be condemned by God?
So after a few days of discussion and the pretense of Colt's top management, Aman successfully obtained the ownership of DiMarco.
Aman is certainly not rich and idle... can be regarded as it, no waste, no cost, anyway, it will be reset in four months.
One of the main reasons for acquiring DiMarco was to let Halsey use her 'universal oil' ability.
With ready-made factories and equipment, USS can be the first to be equipped with optical camouflage effect suits and to design standard weapons for Umbrella's armed forces.
Aman believes that Halsey can definitely get the weapons and equipment in the "Halo" series.
Although Aman is temporarily unable to acquire a high-end technology arms company like Lockheed Martin, he can make a large-scale shareholding after a period of time.
He could vaguely see C-130, F-22 and F-35 waving to him.
After a few days delay in Hartford, Aman was protected by Hank and other USS and returned to New York.
Because of Aman's identity as a traveler, he certainly knows the subprime financial crisis that swept the world in 2007.
And the initiating company of the crisis, Lehman Brothers Investment Bank.
This time he went to Wall Street on Manhattan Island and took advantage of Umbrella's existing good reputation to borrow all the shares of Lehman Brothers from each securities company here.
Two years.
That is to say, when the time comes, Aman needs to return the same amount of shares and interest to the securities company.
For securities companies, I only think that Aman is a stupid man and a lot of money.
The highest trading price of Lehman Brothers is now $69, and it is slowly increasing every day. Those securities companies also know that Aman wants to short Lehman.
However, the domestic situation in the United States is now very good, and the economy has reached unprecedented prosperity.
Especially the properties of Lehman, which belong to the big brother of investment, it is impossible for the stock price to plummet.
When I wait for 2008, I have to spend more to buy the stock back. And will have to pay in blood.
The securities firm would not ask, but Aman would not explain either.
He knows a formula well:
One person's expenditure = another person's income.
Put aside all factors and make a simple example;
The monthly salary of A is 2000, but the monthly credit limit of A is 1000.
The monthly expenditure of small A is 3000.
Small B's income will be 3000, and the credit limit will still be 1000.
The monthly expenditure of B is 4000.
And so on.
Everything is prosperous. Everything is linked to borrowing.
The reason the situation in the United States is so good is that everyone believes that they are capable of repaying their debts.
Even the banks became blind and stopped investigating to confirm whether the borrower has good credit, and began to reduce interest lending.
Once a loan is formed, there will be a cycle.
The cycle will rise, and eventually it will fall.
If a special event occurs that prevents people from repaying their debts, the bank cannot ask for money back. Then it would collapse like a domino.
And now the United States is at the peak of the cycle.
The authorities are fans. The vast majority of people on Wall Street didn't find it at all, and those who found it wouldn't say anything, just squint.
Because the group of people have the same ideas as Aman, they are eager to make a fortune in the blood of the financial crisis.
Crisis, crisis.
When there is danger, there is opportunity.
This is also the reason why Aman was so upset with the capitalists before he crossed.
But in the end, he also became that kind of person.
'The dragon-slaying warrior eventually became a dragon. '
But Aman has his own goals.
He needs money, a large amount of money to control capital, to ensure that he can let go of his hands and feet when special events occur in the future.
There is one more stop on the Wall Street trip, and that is to buy shares in Apple.
The highest transaction price of Apple is only eighteen dollars. Compared with the original price of more than 300 in the world, it is simply heaven and earth.
