"Be brave only when it's time to be brave!"

Even Ryan, a guy without faith, agrees very much with this.

He would rather abandon the possible gains—of course, accidents may be greater—thanks to take unnecessary risks. The stock market is unpredictable, and even the top people on Wall Street dare not say when the Nasdaq will collapse.

The act of selling tens of billions of dollars in stocks before the stock market crashes and making money is destined to appear in fantasy.

In the past year, in addition to the transfer negotiations with Yahoo and Cisco, Scott's team has also hired a large number of traders and slowly sold stocks to cash out through multiple accounts. Ryan has no way to know the specific operations in the middle, only knowing that Scott has maintained enough caution and used a lot of means.

Stocks do not represent as much market value as it represents, but actually as much value as it actually has. Even outsiders like Ryan know that every sale will bring certain fluctuations to the market. If you throw out billions of dollars in selling orders, you may not be sure that Nasdaq will collapse last year.

Fortunately, Scott was a good player in this field, and the team was professional enough. Although it inevitably lost a considerable amount of money, it successfully completed Ryan's request at that time.

Proper greed will keep people moving forward, while excessive greed will only bring disaster.

The profits that were able to get last year have already made Ryan very satisfied. Besides, Nasdaq is about to suffer a heavy blow. Google, which accepted his investment last year, is planning a new round of financing. There is still an opportunity to make money, so there is no need to take those huge risks at all.

"Ryan, if your actual net worth is announced, you will definitely be in the top ten Forbes rich list next year." Scott smiled extremely brightly. Not to mention his own investment, the dividends from Ryan alone are enough to make him one of the top richest people in North America. "And you are different from Bill Gates and others. Most of the money you hold is cash."

"Can you tell me a specific number?" With more wealth, it is actually a game of numbers.

"The specific numbers are still being calculated, and I estimate that it should be between $16 billion and $18 billion."

Hearing Scott's words, Ryan just let out a sigh, without any special change, and asked casually, "Is that all?"

"A part of the funds were used to invest in Google last year, and part of them acquired a small number of Walt Disney shares." Scott roughly explained where some funds were going, "Don't forget. You also have to pay dividends to the investment team and traders."

"Is this the number after tax payment?" Ryan asked again.

“Yes, after tax.”

After hearing Scott say this, Ryan nodded with confidence.

If this money is exploited by the Taxation Bureau, the greatest and most powerful department of the United States, how much will it be left in the end?

State tax, federal tax... Thinking of some tax types that I can't even name, Ryan only felt that his head was too big to be two rounds.

Whether America is heaven or hell has nothing to do with him. With Ryan's current identity and status, he has long lost his impression of these. Perhaps those who jumped down on the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge after the stock market crash will have a clearer answer.

Only with money can Ryan have the confidence to push forward the next plan, otherwise everything will be just a fantasy.

He made such a compromise with the Jewish group on Wall Street. He accepted their investments not for sharing.

"Ryan, if things are really as we expected, we need to determine the direction of our investment next." A large amount of money is in hand. It is definitely not a wise choice.

"It's business!" Ryan said without caring about Scott's surprise expression, "No rush to wait until the stock market really changes."

Ryan couldn't explain how much an influence a person had on a world. He only knew that someone in his previous life said that what he could influence was only the place that his palm could cover.

To use Nicole’s jokes back then, there is an extra little bastard named Ryan Jenkins in this world, and some changes will definitely occur.

But this change is more reflected in Hollywood. For the whole of the United States and the stock market, it is just the wings of a powerless butterfly.

No surprises happened in the previous life. At the beginning, people expected this to be a temporary decline, but the market panic spread rapidly to all corners. The Nasdaq index fell from more than 5,000 points at its peak in March to less than 2,000 points a few months later.

Its myth has been shattered at this point. The Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge have become lively again. The wife who lost her husband and the child without a father have become the focus of media attention, and the people who benefit will only hide in the dark to enjoy the dividends they receive.

Of course, as always, the rich will always show their generosity at this moment. For example, those famous Wall Street tycoons call on people who pay attention to family bankruptcy. Who would have thought that the foundation they control through secret means was one of the winners of this sharing event.

And Ryan, a charitable foundation under his name, is choosing to rescue some bankrupt families, especially some capable securities brokers and financial practitioners.

"Hey, Nicole, that's a big sum of money..."

Ryan sat in his garden and spoke to Nicole who had gone to Australia on the phone, "What are you going to spend?"

As the person who helped him the most and closest to him, Ryan never forgot Nicole Kidman, who is the second largest shareholder in all his industries and has also earned a lot of dividends this time.

If it is put on the surface, it can occupy an important position in the ranking of female rich people.

"Judy, Anne and Kate, on the farm in Queensland, we plan to buy all the other two nearby farms, and then re-plan and build the most beautiful vacation estate in Australia." As soon as Nicole finished speaking, a woman laughed in the earpiece, followed by Antonia Kidman's words, "Ryan, if possible, we will buy the Gold Coast and the Great Barrier Reef."

"Annie, don't mess around." After Nicole scolded her sister, Princess laughed. "The four of us will form a joint negotiation team. After the holiday, we will go to Hawaii to negotiate with David Murdoch and the Hawaii state government to buy Lanai for you."

"Me?" Ryan's question had just been sent out, and Nicole said again, "You paid the money, of course you have to put it in your name. That's it. I also need to contact the lawyer team to prepare."

After hanging up the phone, Ryan looked bored at the helicopter on the distant apron, thinking of the Lanai Island that Nicole mentioned before.

Shortly after the two of them took a vacation, they officially joined the ranks of purchases. Such a large island was not something that could be done in a short time. And as he had expected, after the appearance of his buyer, Bill Gates was indeed lacking in interest and devoted all his energy to deal with the antitrust investigation in the federal court.

The most powerful competitor is naturally Larry Ellison, but this madman doesn't have much energy to worry about Lanai now. Although the stock decline momentum of Oracle, a standard IT company, is far inferior to that of Cisco and other companies, is enough to keep him, the helmsman, busy for a while.

The collapse of Nasdaq has just begun. Blizzard Entertainment and Pixar Studios have also been affected, but the market value of these two companies is not high, and in recent years, it has achieved large profits every year. Last year, Scott also cooperated with the top leaders of the two companies to curb the rapid rise of stocks. In addition, there are sufficient financial reserves, which can minimize the impact.

When will the IT industry recover? Ryan thought about it and had no idea of ​​time at all. He vaguely remembered that it seemed that after Google went public, it led to the revival of the entire IT industry.

If you count this way, don't worry. Google is now just a very inconspicuous small company. Larry Page and Sergey Brin originally planned to raise funds from Wall Street and then go public early, but the changes in the stock market will definitely delay their plans. Investors will also look down on the industry in the short term. Google may not accept its own investment again.

If it goes well, will you become Google's largest shareholder? Even if the listing will be diluted in a few years, it will be something that can wake up in a dream.

This unreliable random thoughts made Ryan feel very happy. Under the unscathing sunlight, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

I will have three women to raise in the future, to promote my dearest sister as a superstar in the pop world, and to overwhelm the enemies whose fangs are increasingly revealed. All of these require money.

"Ryan, Miss Theron is here." George, who sat on the other side, reminded.

Restraining his undetectable smile, Ryan stood up and walked towards the garage, facing the black-clad face covering man with a hooded hood, and took the large travel bag she was carrying.

"Are you ready?" He was confused about the travel bag. It was not very heavy, it should be all clothes.

"Didn't you say that you just need to bring close-fitting clothes. Are there any other ships ready?" Charlize Theron took Ryan's arm openly, "Can we set off?"

"Here." Ryan pulled her towards the apron, "The yacht has already left the port, so we'll fly over directly."

“Good idea.”

Hearing this good way to avoid reporters, Charlize frowned slightly and let go, "Dear, are you driving yourself?"

"If you don't mind falling into the sea." Driving a car is OK, but if Ryan drives the plane, he may not have left the Jenkins Manor, and the crash will happen.
