"Uncle Duhei, I can agree to your conditions, and I am willing to serve the Ministry of Aviation now, but can you consider my personal meager request?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't learn from those politicians at a young age, I don't like it! Remember, don't flatter me in the future, it's useless to me! I want an assistant minister who has ideas, drives, ability, and can do things, not sycophants! ”

"After the German expedition, I would like to learn how to fly an airplane, and I hope you can help arrange it...... In addition, in the future, if there is a civil aviation and aircraft club, I would like the Youth League to have priority in cooperating. ”

"You can learn the plane at any time, I have no objection, but you must pay attention to safety, as for the priority...... Du Hei muttered, "I don't know what you want to do, you have to give me a plan, as long as it does not disrupt the normal work of the department, there is no need for the Ministry of Aviation to bear additional expenses, some small conveniences I don't mind providing, I even hope that the Youth Alliance can better promote aviation in Italy, I don't like a twilight aviation department." ”

Antonio could see that although the young master was ostensibly interested in becoming an assistant to the Minister of Aviation, he was actually completely trying to get away with it. In a private exchange, he asked Contini about his future aspirations, and he said that he would start with the Air Force and gradually intervene in politics and economics, and also consider taking the Duhei line.

He was a little surprised at first, but after careful analysis, he felt that it was logical: the Air Force was a new branch of the military, and although there would be other veteran qualifications, the whole was still a brand-new organization, which was conducive to the young master's emergence as soon as possible; Second, the newly established Air Force will inevitably be weak, and there will not be too many people who will pay attention to it in that way, and the intertwined personnel relations will be greatly reduced; Thirdly, Contini also proposed to set up an aviation company after making money - the elder Ziano promised to contribute 10% of the money earned this time to the family, and the rest would be at Contini's own disposal; Finally, because of the relationship between the old Chiano, it is actually impossible for Contini to serve in the Ministry of Transportation, and no matter what, he has to avoid suspicion, but civil aviation has constant ties with the Ministry of Transportation, which can skillfully use the relationship and influence of the old Chiano again.

Antonio's considerations are all right, but Contini's ideas are obviously more long-term and deeper than his: early intervention in the air force will not only obtain a higher political starting point, but will also have a long-term influence in the military - naval aviation related to the navy, paratroopers and anti-aircraft artillery related to the army, radar and rockets related to science and technology are all included; The Air Force was historically the darling of Fascist and Mussolini, and early intervention was tantamount to laying out the initiative to control the overall situation; The establishment of new aviation enterprises can not only turn civil aviation in peacetime, but also reserve strength for war, so why not?

As for the true potential and future stage of the aircraft, Contini as a traverser has a deeper and better understanding than Duhei - almost a century of insight is not trivial.

When the train arrived in Germany, Contini was already completely familiar with Du Hei, who not only became Contini's teacher, but also became an honorary advisor to the "Youth Daily" and the Youth Union, but Du Hei was unaware of this, and even felt that he had taken advantage of it, and accepted a capable and thoughtful disciple, and the idea of "Air Supremacy" finally had a successor, and he was very pleased, which made Antonio want to laugh but couldn't laugh, so he could only quietly give a thumbs up behind his back and praise the young master: "High! It's really high! ”

"Teacher, Uncle Antonio and I are going to Frankfurt to deal with some industrial affairs, communicate with the partners of the Ministry of Transportation, and also visit some transportation companies, do you want to go with us?"

"I'm not going, you can go. I'm going to Berlin first, on the one hand, I will go to the library to check some materials, and on the other hand, I will sort out the feelings I have thought of in the past two days...... "Du Hei didn't raise his head, only immersed in his own thoughts of air supremacy, "I'll give you a week off, remember to come to Berlin to find me, and I'll take you to inspect aviation companies at that time!" ”

On Friday, December 1, the bustling Frankfurt Stock Exchange began a new trading day.

"What is the mark to the dollar right now?"

"4175:1, oh, it's 4150 now!" William, the trader that Antonio had arranged in advance, hurriedly replied.

Contini raised his eyebrows: "It's up from the previous two days?" ”

"Yes, it's gone up a bit, and the market thinks it's going to go up."

"Why? Not France and Belgium? ”

"It is true that France and Belgium are still repeating the same old tune, but the Italian side has made it clear that it does not approve of the French occupation with troops...... "William carefully explained that he knew that this was a big customer, "and the Italian ambassador not only said that he would not send troops, but also signed a trade contract worth $2 million. ”

"Is it the Italian Ministry of Transport's vehicle trade case?"

"That's right! That's the trade. Although the amount is not large, it is a strong signal that the German government has made great efforts to deduct the reparations owed to Italy from the trade, which is equivalent to the part of the tax that German companies have to pay......

Contini and Antonio looked at each other and smiled: they didn't think that the trade case they were promoting had caused so many ideas in the market – the term butterfly effect immediately came to Contini's mind. The Frankfurt bank loan is calculated at a price of 4500:1, and if you sell it at the current price, you will earn 8% (excluding interest), and you can earn more than 5% even if you deduct the interest.

"Ready to place an order, sell 3 ...... at 4100"

"Okay, 4100 buys 3."

"Nope! I'm talking about selling, aren't my gestures and pronunciations correct? Contini was shocked.

William was also shocked, he thought that the other party was wrong at first, considering that the other party was Italian, and he was not familiar with German and may not be familiar with the German transaction process, so he didn't think about it, but for the sake of prudence, he repeated it, but he didn't expect that something went wrong.

"Sir...... Now the market is generally expecting a rebound in the exchange rate...... You? ”

"Do as I say, yes!"

William hesitated for a moment and immediately ran to place an order: the exchanges of this era did not have an electronic system, and all transactions were matched manually, so Contini needed a reliable broker.

"William, how many do you want?"

"3 sheets, but it's not a buy, it's a sale......" William cried at the red vest of the exchange and submitted the demand on the blackboard, "My customers are not optimistic about the recovery of the mark exchange rate, and want to fight against the trend, and I don't know where the son-in-law came from, taking the money and not using the money ......"

"Then good luck to him......"

"Sir, 3 contracts are sold, the price is 4085, the contract value is 30,000 US dollars, according to the regulations of the exchange, the amount below 100,000 US dollars, the leverage can be 50 times, and this transaction occupies a margin of 600 US dollars...... If the mark rises to 4000 now, you will lose that $600. ”

Contini smiled: "I won't lose ......"

William's mouth moved, and finally he didn't make a sound, the first supreme principle of brokers, especially exclusive brokers, when practicing is not to quarrel with customers!

The $30,000 order was too small to be put on the market without a sound, and the mark rate continued to climb: 4,070, 4,060, 4,050...... In just 20 minutes, the number on the blackboard climbed to 4015, and the purchase demand continued to come.

"Sir, do you want to stop the loss? Otherwise we face a margin call. William was in a hurry, as long as it rose a little more, the list would be lost. Although how much the customer's money loses will not affect his earning commission, but after all, he is only valuable if the customer makes money, not to mention that if the customer makes a lot of money, it is very eye-catching, and he doesn't want this boy to toss his money here.

"Stop loss?" Contini smiled coldly, "What are you doing with stop loss, continue to go down, sell 17 tickets for 4,000, and make up 200,000." ”

"Between 10-500,000 leverage, the leverage can only be up to 40 times, you need to pay a margin of $5,000 for this, if the exchange rate continues to rise by another 2.5%, such as 3,900, your $5,000 will be gone......"

"I know, go ahead." Contini waved his hand impatiently.
