Zhang Fan's mood at this time can only be described as annoyance. He actually forgot about this super company, if he had started investing two years earlier, he would have already reaped huge returns!

In fact, what Zhang Fan didn't know was that even if he invested in Alibaba a few years earlier, he couldn't get much of a stake. After all, at that time, Alibaba was already on the right track and was developing rapidly. Boss Ma doesn't need much outside investment anymore. The only channel he could take was to buy Alibaba shares.

The price in the early years was not too high, but Zhang Fan did not have that much money at that time. It was only after he gained a foothold in Hollywood that he had a few dollars in his pocket. If you buy stocks with your previous income, you can buy a small part of it at most.

As for now, Alibaba's share price is already considered high, and it seems that it is ready to start operating on the Nasdaq. Even if Zhang Fan invests in all his net worth, he can't buy too many stocks. At the end of the day, he still lacks crucial start-up capital.

Although Zhang Fan is now able to get about $5 billion from the bank with all his net worth. But even if he invested it all, the return after a year or two would not be enough for him to buy Disney. Unless he can put in more.

When David Lawrence left Zhang Fan's company, he still wondered why Zhang Fan would react so excitedly to Alibaba. Is it because of being Chinese?

Being an elite businessman, his instincts made David Lawrence feel that something was wrong. He decided to go back and take a closer look at the e-commerce company.

"Alibaba's share price right now. Zhang Fan sat in front of the computer and carefully checked Alibaba's information. found that the company's stock price is now very high, even if he invests all his net worth to buy a part of the shares, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money after Alibaba is listed on the NASDAQ. But even if he has 100% interest income, the money earned is not enough for Zhang Fan to buy Disney.

"We need more start-up capital. Unlike others, Zhang Fan is very optimistic about Alibaba's prospects after listing in the United States. I also know that the stock price will inevitably rise sharply, and it will be very profitable. He didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity to make money. Because this may be his last and only chance to scrape together the funds for Disney before it is bought by some mega-conglomerate.

As for whether Disney will sell it to himself after the money is enough, Zhang Fan didn't think about it at all when the money was not settled at this time. He can only take the first step and have money first.

"It can't be helped. There was a great opportunity in front of him but there was not enough money to start, Zhang Fan thought about it for a long time and finally decided to give it a go. If you win, everything is easy to say. If he loses, then the hope of forming his own super media group is over. In the future, I will be a local tyrant and live a life of spending all day long.

And what Zhang Fan wants to do is to use all his net worth to make a big investment. After making a big profit, you can buy shares in Alibaba. After Alibaba's stock price soared on the NASDAQ, he sold his shares and used the money to buy Disney.

Zhang Fan's chosen investment channel is futures.

Compared to the weird and inexplicable, professionals have no way to accurately predict the stock market. Although the futures market is equally complex, there are certain rules to speak of. The real danger is simply that if you fail, the losses are very heavy.

After all, if you buy a stock market, even if it falls sharply, it has a certain value. Even if the company goes bankrupt, it can get a little return on the stock. Like a table, chair, printer, or something, you can take it home as compensation. It's better than nothing.

The futures market, on the other hand, is a completely different one, and this is truly digital trading. Every digital price fluctuation means a huge amount of revenue and loss. Either you win big or you lose with no bottoms left.

Once you lose, you will be forced to close your position, and you won't even have any hair left. At most, only one bank debt slip will be left.

Zhang Fan has now almost obtained everything he wants, and at this time, he can still take out this kind of courage to give it a go with all his net worth and even the bank loan, at least it is commendable courage.

Because Zhang Fan still has his own dream in his heart, he wants to use Disney as a platform to build his own super media empire. Only then can I forcibly convince myself to use everything I have now to win a chance to succeed.

Although Zhang Fan has lucky charms to use. But this kind of thing of relying on external forces to carry out such a large-scale capital operation is almost something that Zhang Fan will not do at all. After all, investment is extremely risky, and only doing business is the real direction of work.

After making up his mind, Zhang Fan sorted out what he had at this time. Then I went to Citibank.

If you want to do futures, you need a lot of money, and although Zhang Fan's net worth is very high, he doesn't have much liquidity. You have to take a loan from a bank.

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see. Christian greeted Zhang Fan into his office with a warm face. After pouring tea for Zhang Fan, he asked with a smile, "I don't know why I came to Citibank today?"

"I'm here to borrow money. Zhang Fan didn't go to chat or greet, but directly said his intention.

"Mr. Zhang only took out a loan to buy Pixar last time. Now there is a new acquisition target?" Christian was not surprised that Zhang Fan came to borrow money, after all, rich people basically come to the bank to borrow money and loans. They are the only ones who are the main source of income for banks. After all, ordinary depositors come to deposit money, and they also have to charge interest on their deposits. Only by lending to these wealthy people can banks earn interest on their investments. It doesn't matter if they can't afford it, they all have collateral that can be forfeited to compensate for the loss. It's simply a business of drought and flood protection.

"It's not an acquisition, it's an investment. Zhang Fan's words made Christian a little stunned. He has always thought that Zhang Fan is a person who concentrates on business. Such a person is the bank's favorite partner. The large loan amount, high interest rate, and high-quality industry as collateral are the most perfect customers for the bank. And borrowing money to engage in investment is a huge risk. In some cases, the bank will even lose a sum of money, and even the principal cannot be recovered.

Every year, so many elite billionaires commit suicide by jumping off buildings, not because they have lost their wealth, but because they cannot afford to pay off the huge debts owed to the banks. can only choose to die. After all, if a person dies, there will be no debt, and the bank can't chase it to the prefecture to ask for the account, right?

"I don't know what project Mr. Zhang wants to invest in?" Christan looked at Zhang Fan with some caution, "How much financial support do you need?"

"I've been interested in gold futures lately. Want to invest in gold futures. Zhang Fan did not hesitate to express his thoughts: "I hope to be able to get a loan of at least $5 billion from Citibank." ”

"Shhh

"Mr. Zhang, forgive me for taking the plunge. After a moment of silence, Christian asked, "Have you been trained in futures investing, or have you ever experienced any of these things?"

"Nope. "Zhang Fan has nothing to hide, and this kind of thing can't be hidden. Just look it up and you'll know it all: "I don't know much about that." ”

"......" Christian really felt speechless. Rushing into the turbulent futures market without knowing anything, and it's an exaggerated figure of $5 billion. He really wanted to take a look at the calendar now, and wanted to see if today was April Fool's Day, so Zhang Fan came over to joke with him.

"I'm not kidding, it's not April 1st today. Zhang Fan knew what Christian was thinking. Straightforwardly stated his position: "I am very optimistic about this investment and need the support of Citibank." ”

"Mr. Zhang. Christian looked at Zhang Fan with a serious expression, "Out of the professional work ethic of a professional manager, I want to tell you that the futures industry is very risky. No matter how big the investment, it can be lost. You don't know much about the industry, and if you jump in, you're likely to fail. ”

Christian didn't find it out of conscience, for Zhang Fan's sake. It's because Zhang Fan is a high-quality customer he has developed. If you can do business with peace of mind, you can get a steady stream of support from Citibank, which will also bring a large amount of interest income to Citibank. This kind of sound business is what bankers like the most.

The risk of the futures industry is unimaginable. If Zhang Fan is planted in futures, it means that the customers he has developed with great difficulty will be gone all of a sudden. Christian is persuading Zhang Fan for his own performance.

In any industry, there will be fierce competition in any company. Citibank, of course, is no exception. Christan has a high position at Citi, but not to the top. He also wants to continue to climb up, which needs the support of performance. And Zhang Fan is now an important customer of his, and the first two businesses brought a lot of interest income to Citibank. He really didn't want Zhang Fan to fall on the futures.

"I appreciate your kindness. Zhang Fan laughed, "Thank you for your concern." But I've made up my mind. Now all I want to know is, is Citibank willing to support me?"

Zhang Fan said this, what else could Christian say? He can't push the business out, right?

The result is obvious, Zhang Fan has Pixar in his hands. The company alone is estimated at more than $4 billion. Coupled with some other collateral, it will not be difficult for Zhang Fan to obtain a $5 billion loan support from Citibank.

"Mr. Zhang. Christian adjusted his mood and started business: "We at Citibank have the world's first-class futures trading platform. You can trade futures with us. Because you are an important customer of our bank, you can be given a discount on revenue sharing. ”

It is true that banks after the antitrust law cannot make such investments directly, but they can open trading platforms for customers. Simply provide funds and then accept a share of the revenue. The anti-monopoly law also has no way to deal with this kind of thing.
