Chapter 638 – Basic Instinct
New York Stock Exchange.
It is one of the places that symbolize Wall Street.
Buzz, buzz!
It is also familiar to the public.
Something happened on Wall Street!
This is used as a data screen.
We come across it indirectly through news articles.
‘I really wanted to come.’
As Sora, I can’t help but be more impressed.
It was a dream and a goal.
Trader.
I thought that if I was going to work, of course it would be Wall Street in the United States.
“What the fuck!!!”
“You damn bastards, spit out some water.”
“Huh, huh. Huh, huh huh…”
Even now, those thoughts have not changed.
I just realized the reality.
‘The atmosphere is no joke.’
Dress code.
To enter this place, you must wear a suit and a name tag.
Since it is a place that deals with money and credit, courtesy is necessary.
It is inversely proportional to that.
Gulp!
Human joys and sorrows gather together.
Various reactions are taken depending on the performance of trading.
Grown adults swear, swear, and even throw tantrums.
It’s not a very pleasant sight, though.
‘This must be what real traders are like.’
No matter how capable you are.
You can’t always trade successfully.
People fail.
We are supposed to express our emotions.
Wall Streeters without blood or tears are also human.
Trap!
This is the place where you can check it.
Coming to the New York Stock Exchange was meaningful.
The atmosphere here.
You will only realize it when you see, hear, and feel it for yourself.
《Go. You can’t know anything without going. People called market makers.》
Of course, there is a different reason for coming.
This is because there is work that has been instructed.
“Labor Day 40even, 40half, 41even put fly. Dime up sheets paper sold 2000. Dime up!!”
Arrive there.
You can see traders making urgent phone calls.
‘Therefore…’
I roughly understand the meaning.
Labor Day.
The literal translation is Labor Day in September.
In other words, it refers to options expiring in September.
The rest is changing their positions and prices.
Gulp!
It’s not that I’m not confident in English.
TOEIC and TOEFL basically achieve a perfect score.
But in practice.
Business English is completely different.
A number of slang words were used just now.
“%&^#$^#$^%#$^%#$%^!!”
“@%#$@%#$^@#%!”
“#$^&**%(&^($^#%$^#!”
The speed is also crazy fast.
That long sentence is poured out in just 2 seconds.
It is not a metaphor.
I am literally rapping like an outsider.
‘This is the place…’
It has to be that fast.
Options.
It is a market that changes not every minute and every second, but even by 0.01 seconds.
An astronomical amount of money is exchanged.
You have to trade as quickly as possible.
─Our team is under attack!
The enemy is going crazy!
Trading fit.
It may be the most hectic and chaotic place on Wall Street.
There are six traders in a terraced circular space.
Each order is constantly delivered over the phone.
「Hands are faster than eyes.」− From Tazza
A story that could only be told in a movie is reality here.
Humans are faster and more accurate than computers.
“Is there something you need to do, Miss?”
“Paper.”
“Oh, was it paper? I thought you came here to find your boyfriend.”
Stocks and futures are computerized.
The program does the trading.
Options still rely on human hands.
This is the problem that arises.
‘The atmosphere is strong.’
A man talks to me.
He must be one of the officials at Trading Fit.
Attitude.
It’s so annoying.
The reason comes immediately.
“Who is it? Whose girl is it?”
“It’s called paper~?”
“What? Did the paper come all the way here?”
He is considered an outsider.
I don’t think of myself as an industry person to begin with.
Paper.
This is why he stated his position right away.
It is a slang term meaning customer.
“What about the broker? What if the lady comes in person?”
“This is about orders placed directly.”
“Directly? No way, the young lady is that…”
Options lack liquidity.
It is not full of quotes like stocks.
So, an order is placed with a ‘market maker.’
It is handled here at Trading Fit.
Men who were grumpy.
The look in your eyes changes in an instant.
They think of it as a large customer.
‘It’s worth it.’
I bought call options in trillions.
Even if you think about it, it is an amount that makes no sense.
I don’t usually buy it for that amount.
So you have to go through a broker.
“Wow, I was surprised by this? I thought Masayoshi had rolled his eyes again.”
J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, etc.
Large investment banks take on that role.
It did not go through CW Securities.
A deal was placed directly with the market maker.
“It has nothing to do with Mr. Son Jeong-ui.”
“Hmm? Oh, there was another name too. Anyway, the lady said, what’s going on here?”
That’s how I bought call options worth trillions of won.
I stamped my eyes.
《Now, ask a regular trader. As a person I like.》
Future trading.
Due to the nature of the options market, it must be done through a market maker.
Therefore, it is bound to be important.
What kind of person are you doing business with?
“Your order is so bad that Uber Eats is canceling delivery!”
I hear shouting.
A trader is looking for those who appear to be his subordinates.
It’s not just one or two people.
Fuck here and there! Fuck! They are screaming and swearing.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m just craving it on purpose.”
“I don’t care…”
“Was the stimulation too strong for the young lady?”
Such a situation.
I’ve heard of it.
It was originally a world like this.
‘This is why you have to be strong.’
An astronomical amount of money was staked.
Even the slightest loss of consciousness can result in enormous losses.
So on purpose.
I have no idea what the man who is giggling in front of me is talking about.
“If the head likes gambling that much, the young lady must be very worried.”
“Not really.”
“If you can’t extend your visa, it’s a big problem, right? If you get fired, please contact me. I can at least find you an internship position~.”
It is being looked down on.
They are even being ignored.
So much so that it feels like discrimination.
‘Even though it’s true.’
It hasn’t been long since I came to the United States.
It takes a lot of time to obtain permanent residency.
What if it gets cut off before then?
Unless you can find a new job, you will have to return to your country.
That’s what I’m saying.
This is a common grievance experienced by foreign workers.
“It’s not necessary, so don’t talk to me.”
“Hey, don’t do that~.”
“Huh.”
Outsider.
Foreigner.
That’s how it is treated.
Here I am.
‘I admit it’s still a long way off.’
I didn’t think it would be easy from the beginning.
I will adapt somehow.
It will definitely make you see it again someday.
I was thinking something like that.
〈Therefore, I came to apply this Oriental medicine, which can be called the mystery of the East, to investment. The results were truly amazing.〉
A TV in the guest room.
I see a familiar face.
Breaking news is being spread.
An incredible story is coming out.
Even fit traders who have been through all sorts of hardships are left speechless.
Because I know.
I bought call options worth billions of dollars.
But the reason is.
〈President Biden actually had dementia. No matter what happens in the market, he will forget about it in a day. Unlimited quantitative easing will continue! 〉
Biden’s dementia.
It is based on a group of traditional doctors in Korea that you have never heard of.
I’m having a brain freeze.
At that time, I was wondering what kind of interpretation to make.
“That crazy asshole went on air again and got all fucked up!!”
It pops out reflexively.
I can’t help but swear.
I was having serious concerns.
I feel stupid.
Match! Match! Mate!
There was also a group that liked it.
Applause pours in.
Trader.
What is required first is not ability.
It’s just spirit.
“Oh~ Wonderful!”
“He said exactly what I wanted to say.”
“You’re definitely not a lady? Right, Cloud?”
An astronomical amount of money goes back and forth.
The moment you shrink, both your liver and gallbladder are taken out.
You must be strong.
You should never be pushed aside.
This is why I have no choice but to speak loudly.
It meets those conditions.
She is an Asian woman who looks to be about 20 years old at most.
“I didn’t think it was easy to reject me.”
“It’s dirty and dirty.”
“This friend was very rude. She’s basically a stupid person.”
“Oh, it’s okay.”
She is also a large customer.
From the traders’ point of view, it is someone they want to be close to.
It is accepted.
I admit it.
The ritual of taking the first step in the fit.
“What is the lady’s name?”
“It’s written on the business card, but it’s Sora…”
“No, I mean the name here. If it’s okay, we’ll give it to you.”
“?”
America is a country of diversity.
It can also lead to unexpected side effects.
Race, language, culture.
Because it is different.
There are times when words are difficult to read or words that should not be read.
‘I see.’
I can feel the fact that I am in a foreign country.
I’m a little embarrassed, but I’m happy.
It is not a flower in a greenhouse.
They are treated as just one person in the industry.
“What about Athena? From what we can see, your securities company has taken a position that is close to war. Or Rose…”
“It’s the former.”
“Ah, don’t misunderstand. I recommended it with the meaning of thorns, not flowers.”
“I don’t like it either way. It’s tacky.”
It’s still just the beginning.
Still, the first step has definitely been taken.
‘Aren’t they breasts?’
‘It’s my chest.’
‘This is definitely the heart.’
There were people who thought differently.
