Yi Kou Exchange's Priority Trading Seat have set a new record!

Early in the morning, Lin Qi, sitting in the dining room, watched as a maid in a miniskirt walked around in front of him, bending down from time to time to keep the room tidy. These were just simple chores, but she managed to create a different atmosphere for them.

In fact, Lin Qi knew very well that this woman in her twenties wanted to have a deeper private conversation with him.

Five years ago, a beautiful woman, even if she didn't know anything, could become a receptionist, office secretary, or even the president's secretary in a Grand Duke simply because she was pretty.

But five years later, these women have left their former positions, and some of their normal social working abilities have even been lost because of their work over the past five years.

However, Lin Qi believed that most of them were able to live well, and at least in these five years, they had mastered some alternative survival skills.

After withdrawing his gaze from the maid's thin suspender stockings, Lin Qi picked up the "《Transaction Newspaper》" and was immediately drawn to the third page.

The Bayer Federation has Big Three Exchanges: "Eco", "United", and "Shenghua". They are located in the Federal's ruling center, economic center, and the capital of the southern Deslant State, respectively, but their main trading halls are all in the Federal's capital.

Limited by issues such as information dissemination, the Big Three Exchanges jointly developed a more advanced information processing method in order to share more accurate data and trading information in a shorter time.

However, this system also has certain limitations, such as the distance between the main branches. Therefore, the main branches are basically located together, while other branches may experience a short delay in information, about 20 seconds to one minute.

The exact lag depends on the overall traffic volume of Federal telephone communications at the time. If there are not many people making calls on the main communication lines, the information will be updated faster.

But generally speaking, those who really want to play the financial game will choose to trade in Bu Peien, the capital city of the Federal.

The three major stock exchanges are located in the same district, which is why the urban planning district where they are located is known as the "jewel in the crown". The entire Federal, and even some wealthy people and big capitalists from outside the Federal, gather here and live in a digital game and world every day.

Just by walking down this street, you can see All Forms of Life of life.

Some people may be in their sixties or seventies but still walk with a brisk pace, and their faces are still full of spirited fighting spirit, as well as the calm and composed attitude of looking at life with a light heart.

Some people may only be in their twenties or thirties, but they are already struggling to make ends meet, and their faces are filled with a weariness that should not have appeared on them.

This is a magical place where countless people go crazy for certain numbers, and countless others die young because of these numbers...

To become one of them, to become the center of attention, is simple: just have a Trading Seat at any of the three major banks.

Also limited by issues such as information processing, transaction matching is still done manually, which means they cannot process a large amount of transaction information at the same time. Therefore, trading banks stipulate the scale of transactions.

This may seem silly, but it can minimize the chances of making mistakes during the trading process.

Initially, the three major banks did not have many strict requirements on Trading Seat. However, as more and more funds flowed into the securities market, the Big Three Exchanges began to limit the number of Trading Seat, which suddenly made Trading Seat themselves an important resource.

Adhering to the principle of no increase and transferability, the price of Trading Seat, which was 30,000 to 50,000 in the early years, has been soaring all the way up. Just yesterday afternoon, the Priority Trading Seat of Sheng Hua Exchange was transferred for a sky-high price of one million, directly surpassing the price of 970,000 created by Lin Qi before his transmigration, becoming a new legend.

The reason why Trading Seat can be driven up so high is actually related to the limited number of Trading Seat. Even if ordinary people have stock accounts and are inside the exchange, they are just bystanders.

If they want to trade stocks, they first need their own traders to handle these buying and selling transactions for them.

The problem is, to put it slightly exaggeratedly, the whole world's attention is focused here, and the number of Trading Seat and traders on those Trading Seat is extremely limited. Why should they trade stocks for an ordinary person? Perhaps they would do so at first, but with the rise of major brokerage firms and financial companies, and the huge business opportunities that people see here, ordinary people are gradually being driven out of the exchange.

For ordinary people to trade stocks, they first need to find a Stock Broker. The brokerage firm behind the Stock Broker has Trading Seat in the three major banks. They will classify ordinary people into different levels according to their investment amount, then allocate different resources and take a cut.

Currently, nearly 60% of the Trading Seat Trading Seat the three major banks are firmly controlled by stock brokerage firms.

For example, the Priority Trading Seat that was sold yesterday was purchased by a company called "Le Bai Le Financial Management Company".

Priority Trading Seat have priority in matching transactions, resulting in faster matching speeds. This means they can earn more money or minimize losses.

A stock brokerage firm's strength can be judged by the number of Priority Trading Seat it has.

A crazy era!

Lin Qi looked at the newspaper, which was almost entirely filled with praise for the financial prosperity of the Bayer Federation, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically. After the wave of bankruptcies in the real economy completely swept the country, it would be difficult to see a scene like today in a short period of time.

If finance is the Upper Class, then the real economy is the foundation. Now, the damage to the foundation is becoming increasingly severe, and the larger the Upper Class is built, the higher the risk of it collapsing! In addition, with the global wars coming to a halt, some international speculative capital that entered the Bayer Federation during the wars is gradually being withdrawn, and the withdrawal will accelerate. A financial crisis is imminent for the Bayer Federation.

It is a foreseeable fact that, compared to the political and economic benefits of rebuilding individual countries, playing such a high-risk financial game in the Bayer Federation is clearly no longer the best option under the current International Community situation.

People used to choose the Bayer Federation as a safe haven for their funds because the economy there was developing rapidly, and it was not a warring country. People didn't have to worry about their purchases being wiped out by a single shot, or their funds becoming spoils of war plundered by the victors.

But now that there are better options, they won't stay here, just like before when they transferred money into the Federal instead of supporting the wars of the countries that transferred funds.

Capital and capitalists have always been shameless and without principles; the only thing they could possibly call a principle is their desire for profit.

As for the rest, none of them can become obstacles to their pursuit of maximum profit.

The more devoted they were to the Federal in the past, the more ruthless they will be in leaving it in the near future.

As for whether their withdrawal of funds—which had become the "bricks" in the construction of a sky city—would have any impact on the sky city, they probably wouldn't care.

Lin Qi put down the newspaper, picked up a glass of milk, and took a sip. It was freshly squeezed milk, and it was even slightly hot.

The maid didn't seem to understand why Lin Qi liked heated milk, and naturally couldn't appreciate the impact of the rich milky aroma on her taste buds, as well as the slightly... fishy smell.

Unprocessed freshly squeezed milk is not as perfect as some people imagine. It has a fishy smell and has not undergone any desensitization process. Fresh milk can make many people feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, Lin Qi is not one of them.

He was thinking that perhaps after the financial collapse, he could go to the exchange and acquire a wave of Trading Seat.

How much would a seat that sold for one million this year be worth after the stock becomes worthless?

Five thousand?

Still 10,000? That's a formidable resource. It might take some time for it to become valuable again, but that time won't exceed ten years. It's a very worthwhile investment.

Moreover, Bu Peien is the core of the Bayer Federation. Lin Qi never thought he would stay in Sabine City for the rest of his life. He always wanted to go to the most prosperous place in the world, take a piss, leave his scent, and at least prove that he had been there!
