Chapter 128: The Great Liar and the Great Conspirator (1)
"Calais, didn't you tell me a few days ago that you were going to issue convertible bonds with listed companies as the main body? Why did it suddenly become a United Group? In the evening, Agnes came to Contini's suite and asked, puzzled, "What do you think?" ”
"You seem to be interested in stocks, bonds, and even investments lately......
"Of course, it must be ......," Angnes smirked, "didn't you give $10 million?" I took $2 million to buy stocks. ”
"Stocks?" Contini was taken aback, "You're also involved?" ”
"I went to the mall, and found that everyone was talking about buying stocks, even the salesperson was no exception, I heard Vivian say that you and they have recommended stocks, and you have made a lot of money, if it weren't for the last time in the Union Bank this matter in a hurry to throw away the money and get it back to help you, now I'm only afraid of 15 million, so I bought stocks, if I make a little to send her a little to show my concern, and by the way, I also save a little private money, in case your father doesn't give me money next time, I won't even be qualified to go to Paris to buy and buy." Agnes smiled, "Actually, it's not that he won't give me money, it's that after I spend the 10 million, I feel that I can't take advantage of it next time I take another 10,000." ”
"You can ask me, you are my mother, you can use it however you want......
"Forget it, you can keep it, I'm your mother, but I can't just take your money, Ida will have opinions in the future."
"No, she's not that stingy."
"I can't take it, if I can take it, can Rachel take it? Can Benito (Mussolini) take it? If they can take it, can the Franciscos and Adriana's family take it? How much do you have to take out to balance? ”
Contini was defeated by this powerful reason, and reluctantly said: "What stock did you buy?" How much did you lose? ”
"Loss? Is your mother so useless? Agnes said dissatisfiedly, "Anyway, I'm also highly educated, how can I lose money when I speculate in stocks?" Let me tell you, not only did you not lose anything, but you made almost 2 times as much? ”
"2 million earned 2 times?" Contini was shocked, "It's only been more than 1 month......"
"The broker said that you can increase leverage, and said that you can buy it with a minimum margin of 10%, and I pressed it all up, and bought Wright Aviation and Curtis for 2 million - haven't we visited these two companies, didn't you say that they are good? Since it's good, you can buy it......" Agnes said proudly, "I didn't dare to add 10 times, I only added 8 times!" 2 million all bought these two. ”
"Only!" Contini almost fainted, "Do you know what 8x leverage means?" As long as it falls by 12.5%, you will lose all 2 million! It's almost the same as gambling money. ”
"But the truth is that I earned it! It was just emptied the day before yesterday, and after deducting the handling fee, I earned a total of 3.77 million. I rewarded the agent with 70,000 yuan, and he was crazy happy! Say tomorrow to go to his girlfriend to propose, this is a good young man, good-looking, or Italian descent, a mouthful of Italian sounds cordial, good attitude, follow me to serve before and after the saddle, have been a tour guide and entourage for more than a month, the level of pinching shoulders does not know how much better than you......"
Contini understood, the reason why Agnes was so generous: of course, it was because she was in a good mood to make money, and it had something to do with this young man's likability, didn't Monica just like her mother? This level is higher than that of Vivian, Adriana and Ida. Thinking about Agnes, it's quite pitiful, a husband who is busy as a whole, and a son who is even busier, really lacks companionship.
However, he felt that Agnes's luck was really good, and the news in the newspaper also reported: in the third week of May, the stock price of Wright Airlines rose by $34.75 to $190, and the stock price of Curtis Company rose by $35.5 to $142.
"Then you have another chance to go shopping, what to buy this time? Are you still looking at the house? ”
"Don't look at it, I told the bank, wait for the money to arrive, 700,000 to my account, and 3 million all exchanged for New York specialties to bring back - send a little to Vivian, she lost a lot for you last time, otherwise she would have been a multimillionaire by now."
"She's also a multimillionaire now."
"That's different." Agnes shook her head, "That's what she earned, and that's what you gave." By the way, how many stocks do you have? What I'm asking is how many U.S. stocks have you bought? Hundreds of millions, right? ”
Contini nodded, leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Don't tell anyone else...... I have $1.2 billion. ”
"Ahh This time it was Agnes' turn to be taken aback, and Shao Tian nodded again, "No wonder you gave me $10 million without blinking, you are really rich, you should be richer than Agnelli, right?" ”
"That's a must!" Contini smiled and said no more - he had reported less than half of the figures to Agnes, when in fact he held nearly 2.8 billion in shares.
"Then you and I can tell me about convertible bonds, right? You told me last time that United Group will not be listed, but will only list its subsidiaries, and it will be listed again with convertible bonds, but I really don't understand...... I humbly ask you for advice. ”
Contini smiled: "This is all a lie, how can a company that is not listed and profitable in the United Group realize convertible bonds?" My goal now is to send out 1.5 billion, those banking circles will definitely come to me, and then we will talk about the content, you don't see that my father is also this routine for fighting for the departmental budget, obviously he needs 1 billion lira, he must say that he needs 1.2 billion, and then let you cut 200 million, everyone is happy, if he honestly says that he wants 1 billion, he will not guarantee that he will not reach 1 billion - business, who is not bluffing? I also said that long live the friendship between the United States and Italy, and when the boat capsizes in the future, it will not be of any use! Green tickets and local products are the last word! ”
"Then why are you going to pay it back? You keep throwing money into it, and you say it's not profitable, what will you do in the future? ”
"Why should I pay back the money I borrowed with my ability? Have you forgotten how Union Bank came to be? Contini laughed, "Your son has already thought about a way out!" It's not okay to do business honestly, you have to find another way. Besides, I now have half of the air force in my hands, and I also fund the fleet to build ships, make munitions for the army, control the gun factory, and have a division of oil guards, which even the French can carry hard, and I am really not afraid of ordinary people. When you marry Ida home, there will be no problem with the leader, and then your son will have the final say in the Italian business community. ”
Agnes laughed and trembled, not thinking that her son was arrogant at all, but that this was like his son, if it was the indisputable character of old Ziano, it would be too inferior.
"My dear, did you hear little Ziano's words? I have a feeling that your face stiffened when you shook hands with him today — he gave you $50,000 anyway, and he thought you could be elected governor, which is a bit unusual. ”
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was running for governor of New York, shook his head slightly and said to his wife, Anna Elinor: "I can see better than many people that this guy is a big liar!" Absolutely skilful liars! ”
"Liar?" Eleanor was surprised, "How so?" ”
"I have carefully studied the trajectory of the United Group and come to the conclusion that this group has never made money!"
"Not making money? Impossible? Don't you see the hot sales of motorcycles? Don't see the best-selling of Bailang Duoxi? These are all sought-after goods in the market! ”
"It's all small business!" Roosevelt shook his head and said, "Tens of thousands of motorcycles a year are just a few million dollars in profits; This new drug is a profit of several million, and I am afraid that it will not add up to 10 million, but how much did he borrow? In the United States alone, more than 30 billion have been stolen! Italy may not be less at home. Assuming a $5 billion loan, he needs to repay 250 million yuan in interest a year, how can he repay it? ”
"Doesn't he still have oil?"
"Oil has only been exploited for less than 2 years, and the scale is 5 or 6 million tons in total, and it will earn 30 million yuan!" Roosevelt said, "His method is very simple, keep borrowing, snowball to expand the scale, and then pile up industries, have you ever seen a group of companies involved in any industry?" ”
"Like...... Not really. ”
"Have you ever seen a commercial company that is constantly pouring money into the country's armaments? Airplanes, tanks, warships and even machine guns? Roosevelt prompted, "If it's a normal commercial company, you work so hard to make money just to donate to the state?" This is more noble than the emperor's character, right? ”
"It doesn't seem to be ...... either"
"Just because he didn't think about paying back the money, so that's it, you can spend it indiscriminately."
But he doesn't have a record of defaulting! There were also no risk events. ”
"So he's a clever deception!" Roosevelt sighed, "The scale of his loans is increasing year by year, essentially repaying old loans and interest with new loans, and in order to prevent others from seeing through his logical system, he must continue to march into various industries, constantly create hot spots, and show the results of his construction when appropriate, but this balance sheet is gradually expanding, why doesn't he borrow on a large scale in Italy?" It's because he knows that Italy can't afford this scale, only we can. ”
"If it's a hoax, why hasn't anyone debunked it? Aren't there a lot of talented people on Wall Street? ”
"That's a good question! First, he cooperated with Wall Street to launch a scam, and everyone got the money, so everyone would not take the initiative to expose it; Second, he always surprises everyone at the right time, whenever there is suspicion of his intelligence and news, he always holds out something unusual to strengthen confidence, oil, motorcycles, medicines are nothing more than that, but do you listen to what his propaganda slogan is - suffocating for dreams, creating a better life, and rebuilding an Italian industry in 10 years, is there a path of realistic logic here? Roosevelt gave his opinion with a serious expression.
