"Do you see the market in front of you?" After talking about the situation in Montclair, Jabarin turned to the side and pointed in the direction of the market, "Go down here, there is a shop that specializes in clothing, and their goods come from Montclair. ”

"But," Jabarin whispered, lowering his voice, "you know, the factories over there in Montclair are mainly engaged in export trade, and their export direction is Europe, and the shops here are dealing in those flawed things, so ......"

Adair looked in the direction of his finger, and when he turned back, his eyes were focused on the small notebook in his hand, if I remember correctly, the Jew had already had a small notebook thrown into the river by the police, but now, he actually had 3 on him, at least three, Adel was a little curious, what did he write down in these notebooks.

"Can you show me your notebook?" After a moment's hesitation, Adair made a slightly excessive request.

"Oh?" Jabarin obviously hesitated, he looked at the notebook in his hand, looked up at Adair, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the notebook over and said, "Who asked you to help me." ”

Adel smiled, took the notebook, started from the title page, and quickly browsed backwards.

Well,The things in the book are segmented by date.,It's very ruled.,Basically, the content of each day is divided into several parts.,And then it's recorded in different categories.。

It's not a great thing to keep things organized, because Adel is an organized person, and what really surprised Adel was the information recorded in the notebook.

Take one day's information as an example, the "P class price information" on May 14, Adel doesn't know what P means, but looking at the content recorded later, it should be the price information of agricultural products. On this day, Jabalin mainly records the price of soybeans, and it is recorded separately by region, which reads: "Soybeans...... Kansas $13.42/short ton, St. Louis $13.49/short ton, Springfield 13.29/short ton, Aurora $14.61/short ton, Bloomington $14.78/short ton......"

Such a piece of information covers the real-time price of soybeans in 39 major soybean producing areas in the United States for four weeks, including Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, and Illinois, on the same day. To be honest, under today's technological conditions in the United States, it is not easy to collect such a large amount of information on the price difference of the opposite sex in one day, and newspapers do not provide similar services. Adel was really curious about how the guy in front of him, who was beaten by the police in the street, got this information.

Adair flipped through the pages and found that from May 14 to May 21, the notebook was basically full of soybean price information, and it was the real-time price of the day in 39 major soybean producing areas.

"Hehe, during that time, I was in the soybean business, so I paid more attention to these," perhaps seeing what Adair was looking through, Jabarin scratched his scalp and said with a dry smile.

"I see," Adair nodded, looking at the price curve ticked up in his notebook and smiling, "You pick the cheapest of these regions and ...... them."

Speaking of this, Adair stopped, he frowned, shook his head and said: "No, no, no, it shouldn't be that simple, your buyer should be in Philadelphia, right here, judging from this note, your final choice should be DeKalb, because according to the trend of price changes, the price of soybeans in this place is the lowest among several major producing areas, and by May 21, the price of a short ton of soybeans is only $12.97." ”

Jabarin didn't speak, he looked at Adel with interest, as if to see if he could guess what was so good about his business.

"What is the price of soybeans in Philadelphia on May 21st?" Adel thought for a moment, and he finally guessed the secret of the Jew in front of him.

"$15.37 a short ton," Jabarin said, opening his mouth.

"Loan, you did a loan," Adair laughed, "I see, the reason why you waited from May 14th to May 21st was actually waiting for the price of soybeans in Philadelphia to reach a certain high, and at the same time, you were also waiting for the price of the producing area to reach a certain low." If I'm not mistaken, the difference in soybean prices between Philadelphia and DeKalb that day should guarantee you a lot of money. ”

Jabarin didn't speak directly, he smiled and gave a thumbs up, compared to Adair, and then said: "It's a total of 1,000 short tons of demand, and if nothing goes wrong at that time, I can transfer 2,400 dollars from this business, even if I deduct the borrowing fee, I can transfer it to nearly 1,600 dollars." ”

Seriously, Adel suddenly admired the guy in front of him, it was obvious that the hand he was playing was similar to the concept of speculating in futures, but he used the concept of futures in actual trade.

"I'm curious, Jabarin, how did you get such comprehensive information?" Glancing at Clifford and the others who were walking back, Adel asked.

"Well, I'm sorry, it's our secret, you know, it's a Jewish secret," Jabarin declined to answer, shaking his head.

"And what happened to your business?" Adel didn't continue to ask, he digressed and asked.

"Failed," the corners of Jabarin's mouth twitched, as if to stabilize his emotions, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Everyone says that we Jews are liars and vampires, but the reality is that more often than not, we play the role of victims." The guy who bought the soybeans was a liar, and the guy who offered me a loan was also a liar, and they worked together to scam me, but the police chose to believe them because I was Jewish. ”

Touching his nose a little sadly, Jabarin squeezed out a smile and said, "So, I'm bankrupt, and this is what you see me today, a loser." ”

Adair was a little speechless, in fact, Jews are indeed an undesirable ethnic group in the United States today, after all, it is a country where Protestants hold power, and even Christians and Catholics have no good opinion of Jews. Don't think that Jews were so bullish in the United States before World War II, that's a misconception, otherwise, the United States wouldn't have banned Jews from entering the country during World War II.

"Adair, let's go," at this time, Collifor and the others also returned, and seeing Jabarin standing beside Adair, Collifor blinked and said, "Why is this guy pestering again?" ”

After a short period of understanding, Adel still has a good impression of the Jew in front of him, why? Two points: First, this person is very optimistic, even if he is bankrupt, and he is discriminated against by the people around him, and even beaten by the police for no reason, but from his body, there is no sense of decline, such a person is worthy of admiration. Second, Adel was curious about how he got those details, and what was the most important thing he needed as a stock trader? There is no doubt that the first priority is definitely the information.

"Come, I'll introduce you," ignoring Clifford's shouting, Adair patted Jabarin on the shoulder, turned to Ruben and said, "This is Jabarin, Islam Jabarin, you should have heard it just now." ”

Turning his head, he introduced Jabarin to Ruben and Clifford.

"Jabarin, I don't know if there's a café or anything like that nearby," Adel said with a smile after the introduction, "There are some things I want to talk to you about." ”

"There's not a fancy café in the neighborhood," Jabarin said, shaking his head, "and if you're looking for a quiet place, we can go to the river beach." ”

"Alright, let's talk as we go," Adel said, glancing in the direction of his finger and nodding, "First of all, I'd like to introduce you to a little bit about me......"

The beach of the Delaware River has not yet been paved with stones, it is a rotten beach overgrown with wild grass, and along the way, Adel briefly explained his situation. According to him, he was a stockbroker, opened a stockbroking firm in New York, had some partners, and of course, because he was just starting out, he didn't have a lot of money on hand.

“...... You know, as a broker, I need a lot of information, for example, I may need milk prices in the major livestock producing regions of the United States at a certain time, and I may need to know the price changes of the Texas oil transaction at the same time," said Adair on the riverbank, plucking a blade of grass and fiddling with it in his hand, "and right now, I don't have a quick source of that information, and as for the newspaper, it can only provide me with some lag news." So, I need an assistant who can gather information, or of course, a partner, and I can offer him a whopping $500 a week, or I can give him a 5 percent stake in the company, provided that this person can make me feel good. ”

Jabarin listened quietly and did not interject, even though Adair offered a generous offer.

"Jabarin, I think you have what it takes, and of course, in order to give me further confidence, I need to know where your information comes from," Adair continued.

To Adal's surprise, after hearing this, Jabarin's originally slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he sighed and said: "I don't know if I meet your requirements, because I have never been involved in the stock market, in my opinion, stock trading is gambling, although our doctrine does not prohibit gambling, I have never liked it." However, I don't seem to have much choice right now, and if you think I'm up to it, I'm willing to accept your offer. As for my information, it comes mainly from the association of 'Jimirata Chasodim', which is a mutual aid association of our Jews, which mainly provides credit assistance and loan services, and of course, they also provide all kinds of information services. ”
