"Soviet Southern Theater of Operations?"

The smile on Bruce's face quickly faded, but when he saw Cheng Mi's frank cheeks, his white face with deep eyes and high nose suddenly appeared: "Afghanistan?"

"That is, it can't be the Far East. ”

Cheng Mi nodded, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and his two dark eyes flashed quickly, and a smile appeared on Bruce's face and said: "It's been three months since Taraki was overthrown, and the Soviets only now remember to send troops?"

"Gold is going up again?"

Zheng Jianguo's words drew the attention of the two back, Bruce held the coffee tray in one hand and the coffee cup in the other, looked left and right and smiled: "Jianguo feels like it will go up?"

"After the last American hostage incident, the spot gold has been rising at a rate of around $30 every day for several days—"

Taking a sip of the coffee in the cup, Zheng Jianguo said with a smile, and saw Bruce blinking his eyes and looking at him, and said with curiosity: "Then can you buy more now?"

"No, it's not about buying, it's about selling. ”

The smile on Zheng Jianguo's face was put away, and then regardless of the astonishment of everyone present, he quickly swept his eyes over the three of them, Blanco, who had not spoken, should be observing him and analyzing him, while Bruce was dazed and obviously couldn't figure out the purpose of his doing, only Cheng Mi was staring at him with a thoughtful face.

Shrugging his shoulders, Zheng Jianguo looked at Bruce and uncovered the mystery: "Mr. Bruce, my plan is to throw out all the spot gold in my hand, and then use the obtained funds multiplied by 20 times the leverage to establish a long position, will you come?"

"I-good!"

Bruce was stunned for a moment before he understood Zheng Jianguo's plan, which was to give up the spot market and go straight to the futures market: "But I don't have much money-"

"Then you won't feel distressed if you lose~"

Zheng Jianguo smiled and said, turned his head and looked at Cheng Mi next to him and said, "Cheng Mi, I need to use the phone-"

"You can use it here~"

Cheng Mi was thinking that you don't have to think about it, but when he looked at the two people next to him and this thing, he swallowed back the words that came to his throat, and changed his words: "Just dial it directly——"

"Okay. ”

Zheng Jianguo put the coffee next to the phone, took out the address book to find Charlie's phone, dialed a few buttons and looked at the wall clock on the wall, at 15:15 Washington time, 45 minutes before the market closed, he felt that his luck was really good, and soon a familiar voice came from the microphone: "Hello, this is——"

"Charlie, I'm Zheng, I need you to sell all the spot gold immediately!"

Zheng Jianguo said quickly, and Charlie in the microphone was obviously a little confused: "Zheng, the market is good now, I feel-"

"Sell now, sell now, what price is it now?"

Zheng Jianguo's voice revealed undoubted power, Charlie quickly sat back in front of the computer, quickly called up the account of the goods to look at it, and said: "Now the price is 613 US dollars 88 cents, you still have 74274 ounces of gold left in your account, all the selling prices are, and now the gold price has risen by 14 cents, and the total selling price is 45.6 million and 5721 US dollars 48 cents, the transaction requires you to enter the password, I switched over, you press the # key after entering the password to confirm——"

"Okay!"

After entering the transaction password, Zheng Jianguo pressed the # button, and Charlie's voice came from the phone: "Zheng, the transaction is in progress, it will take more than ten seconds, are you in a hurry to use the money now? Now that the price of gold has risen by another 18 cents, I don't feel like there is going to be a problem - the transaction is completed, and after deducting the handling fee, the cash balance is now 44,972,114 US dollars and 7 cents." ”

"Now take all the money and buy the January 1980 gold contract with 20x leverage. ”

Zheng Jianguo gave a buy order without hesitation, but Charlie was stupid: "20 times?"

"Yes, it's 20 times ~ hurry up!"

After frowning slightly, Zheng Jianguo heard Charlie swallow his saliva: "20 times, well, it is to buy 1,461,747 ounces, and now that the operation is complete, you need to enter the password to confirm - Zheng, what is going on?"

"yes, there's going to be a big deal. ”

After Zheng Jianguo entered the password and confirmed, Charlie in the microphone stared at the data on the monitor and blinked, and said with a vigilant face: "There is going to be a big matter, can you say something?"

"This has to be kept secret, can't you say, the deal is over?"

Zheng Jianguo directly rejected the other party's inquiry, turned his head to look at Cheng Mi and found that he smiled casually, so he felt that it was better not to say anything, and Charlie's voice came from the phone: "Now that I start to open a position, the price of gold has risen by another 23 cents, according to this rising rate, I feel that the final purchase amount is 1.4 million ounces, do you still want to set a stop loss price?"

"No, it's all over. ”

Kashana who jumped off the building flashed in front of him, Zheng Jianguo knew that he was still a little conservative, the funds he was using now were only the pure gold part, in fact, he still had more than 50 million US dollars in cash lying in his account in Jianguo Company.

It's just that part of the money is used by Zheng Jianguo to ensure the smooth construction of the "East Lake New Village" project, after all, in his memory, the reason why someone's building project worth more than one billion yuan was lost was because of the break of tens of millions of funds.

Not to mention that 40 million of this money is the follow-up funds of real estate projects, just to ensure the smooth construction, Zheng Jianguo set a bottom line for himself to have 30 million cash at any time, of course, in addition, he can also borrow money from the bank, but this is no different from Kashana smashing the pot and selling iron to borrow usury.

Zheng Jianguo wanted to take some risks, but like Kashana, he still forgot it, so he chose not to change the stop-loss line of the exchange, after all, people have played futures for more than 100 years, and they will never make a joke about -37 US dollars crude oil treasure, of course, if that is the case, he can guarantee that the exchange can go bankrupt-

After opening the position, Zheng Jianguo put down the phone, turned his head to see Bruce give up his position, and the latter tilted his head and smiled: "Okay, since you are like this, then I will believe you-"

Bruce didn't invest much money at the time, and after handing over the account at this time, it was only 200,000 yuan, and after following Zheng Jianguo's 20 times the position, he picked up the coffee cup in front of him and looked at him: "We must have a good drink at night~ Blanco, aren't you interested in gambling?"

"Oh, you are both rich people~ I'm a salaryman, and I have to apply to the top for 100,000 US dollars, so I won't get involved~"

Blanco raised his eyebrows and smiled to resolve Bruce's ridicule, the two have known each other for more than ten years, and in a sense they are old friends, of course, they can only get along with each other due to the concept of the two sides: "I feel that it is only the deployment of military forces now, and it may not really start, as you said earlier, Taraki has been overthrown for three months——"

"I think the Soviets are a bureaucratic country, and the outcome doesn't matter anything, but the procedure must be correct—"

Zheng Jianguo knew that this battle would definitely be fought, and the next ten years in his memory were the ten years that belonged to the Soviets, and the world was seriously polarized in these ten years, with the Soviets on one side and the whole world on the other.

Zheng Jianguo clearly knows this, but Blanco is suspicious, especially after seeing his almost reckless approach to investment, the cognitive sense of this is still a child has become stronger and stronger, but thinking that it is people's own money after all, he is not good to pour cold water on it.

Maybe the Soviets will really get their hands dirty?

Blanco's doubts didn't last long, he came here today for a Christmas Eve drinking party, and the rest of the time as the night fell, and when he dragged his drunk body back home for two more days, the explosive news came on the TV: "Soviet invasion of Afghanistan-"

"That guy got it!"

Zheng Jianguo's immature face was rolling in his mind, Blanco didn't know that in the classroom and dormitory of Harvard, hundreds of kilometers away, Zheng Jianguo was also watching the night when the fire exploded on TV: "Finally a fight-"

Putting the hanging heart into his stomach, Zheng Jianguo got the news of the Soviet army's mobilization from Cheng Mi's mouth, and a hidden worry faintly appeared in his mind, that is, what if the Soviets did not invade Afghanistan?

As a result, it is obvious that gold is uncertain, it may rise or fall, which is not good news for two-way trading gold futures, because it will lose money if it rises and falls, but fortunately, the Soviet Union is still the woolly bear in memory, and it was pushed to Kabul from Christmas Eve on the 24th to the second day of Christmas on the 27th.

"Bell bell bell—"

The piercing phone rang, Zheng Jianguo put down the thick pathology in his arms and picked up the phone, and Bruce's voice mixed with pleasure came over: "Zheng, do you know that now the price of gold has broken through $660." ”

"Oh, I've also paid attention, and the barrage under the news says-"

There was a happy picture of Bruce's little tongue in front of him, Zheng Jianguo was also happy that the nearly $45 million he had staked this time was not lost, and the gold price seemed to have been stalemate in the past few days, and it had been oscillating at the position of 625, and this is also the reason why he was watching TV at home when he had nothing to do.

"No, no, I listen to you, I will settle when you settle, and I will settle with you. ”

Bruce's gentle voice became a little high, and Zheng Jianguo was amused by his statement: "Mr. Bruce, I can't afford to say that, what I always remember now is that futures are risky and need to be cautious when entering the market——"

"Well, I heard, that friend of yours~ I'm sorry. ”

The pleasure in Bruce's voice disappeared, Zheng Jianguo didn't deliberately explain, and hung up the phone after saying a few more words, but before he could look at the TV and pick up the textbook, the phone rang again, and he reached out and grabbed it: "Hello, I'm Zheng Jianguo-"

"Hi Zheng, I'm Bob—"

A slightly apprehensive voice came, and the first thought that popped into Zheng Jianguo's mind was who this unseen goods were, but just as he filtered out a few people in the laboratory one by one, Bob in the microphone also seemed to know what he was doing, and introduced himself: "I'm Bob White, the administrative manager of Activision Games, and now that the company has been running for a year, we want to prepare a party to celebrate——"

"Oh-"

Zheng Jianguo blinked and made a meaningless sound, after all, he was in a somewhat embarrassed mood at this moment, because before this phone call, he had successfully forgotten about the company.

After being reminded at this time, Zheng Jianguo also remembered the last time he heard about Activision games, when the programmer ape named Bennett or Bruno came to ask him for authorization, so he also remembered his game, Magic Cube.

It's just that the administrative manager of his own company seems to be saying that the company is going to hold an annual meeting?

Looking at the calendar hanging behind the door, Zheng Jianguo looked back at the TV that was still reporting, and reconfirmed that the date was December 27, 1979, when Christmas ended.

"Hello, Zheng, I'm still here. ”

Bob White's voice was a little hurried, and Zheng Jianguo heard him continue to speak: "We want to hold a party, we haven't met since we partnered, you haven't come to the company to show up, your after-tax share has exceeded one million dollars, but you still seem to have forgotten, can you come to this party?"

“——”

Well, this product is here to invite himself to a company party, Zheng Jianguo finally understood the purpose of the call, of course, he was also a little surprised that he forgot the share of one million dollars, and couldn't help touching his nose and said, "How are your shares used?"

"Bruno bought himself a big TV, David changed to a Harley Harley Road King 1340, Larica bought a Ferrari 308 GTB, Alain bought a house, I didn't want anything, so I bought a waterbed, and we invested the rest of the money in the company——"

Bob's voice was still hurried, Zheng Jianguo nodded and began to worry about the future of this game company for a few seconds, and then remembered that it was normal for a company to lose money, otherwise he would be able to study what he would succeed, what he would buy, and what he would make by investing, but I just don't know if the legendary FBI and CIA are eyeing him: "Okay, where are you now, and when are you going to book the party?"

"We're moving to this side of the Santa Clara Valley, south of the San Francisco Bay Area in the Northern California metropolitan area, and we're going to have a meeting tonight—"

Bob's voice suddenly slowed down and then went low, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but blink again and felt the place called this name in his mind for a long time, and said with some uncertainty: "California, the West Coast one?"
