After fourteen or fifteen hours of flight, the plane landed at JFK Airport.

At this time, it was almost twelve o'clock at night, and it was difficult for ordinary people to reverse the jet lag, after all, they had just slept on the plane.

But Ji Sheng can not eat, drink or sleep in this time and space, and he does not have the trouble of jet lag at all.

Because he came back relatively suddenly, the driver happened to be resting today, and it was the official Michael who came to pick him up. Baker.

Sitting in the back row of the second generation of Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn, Ji Sheng looked at the midnight night scene of New York outside the window and was still as prosperous as cooking oil, and couldn't help but sigh a little, this is eight or nine years of New York, which is actually more prosperous than the nightlife of many cities in China in modern society, and it is worthy of being the first city in the world.

"Sir, how long will you stay in the beautiful country this time?"

Michael. Baker drove the car and chatted with him.

Ji Sheng knew that the housekeeper wanted to know his whereabouts so that he could arrange the time for the servants to go to work, so he thought for a while: "It's expected to take more than a month, has anything happened at home recently?" ”

"During the time you left, I paid you three weekly salaries, and I have declared everything about the property tax, and I have made a spreadsheet for the specific expenses and sent it to your email, so that you can view the account details at any time." Michael. Baker was conscientious.

This man has become a butler.

Ji Sheng is recruiting Michael. When Baker came over, he knew that he used to work in a bank, and he was a high-achieving student who graduated from a prestigious university, and he learned more hot finance.

Thinking of this, Ji Sheng decided to talk to Michael. Baker talks about the doubts in his mind.

Because he was a little hesitant to choose to borrow and speculate on foreign exchange and foreign exchange futures this time.

Thinking about it, Michael. Baker asked, "Sir, are we going straight home now?" ”

Ji Sheng came back to his senses and said, "I and Patrick, the director of State Street Bank. De Sheng. Mr. Agnam has made an appointment to talk about something at the Envision International Hotel, so you can drive directly to the hotel first. ”

"Yes sir."

Michael. Baker didn't talk much, and strictly followed Ji Sheng's orders.

Ji Sheng took the initiative to accost: "Michael, I remember that you used to work in a bank, right?" ”

"Yes, I used to work at **** bank."

"Well, then I want to ask, how much do you know about lending and foreign exchange futures?"

"Lending is relatively simple, probably refers to the short-term loan business, after paying a certain amount of interest, you can quickly get a large amount of money, but the repayment period is relatively short, generally not more than a month, of course, if you negotiate with the bank, you can also get more loan terms, but the loan needs to mortgage a certain value of stocks, bonds, etc."

Speaking of professional knowledge, Michael. Baker became eloquent.

Ji Sheng listened carefully.

Michael. Baker continued: "Foreign exchange futures are futures transactions in a centralized format where two parties buy or sell another non-national currency in a non-national currency through open outcry and enter into a contract to deliver a standard amount of foreign currency at an agreed price at a future term. ”

Ji Sheng actually understands all of this, he just wants to study Michael. Baker's expertise.

After hearing that the other party was so skillful, Ji Sheng knew that there was nothing to doubt, so he said: "If I am optimistic about the sharp rise in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the yen and the West German mark in the next period of time, is it better to choose the form of borrowing or foreign exchange futures?" ”

Michael. Baker drove towards Fifth Avenue with the steering wheel, "It depends on how much money you invest, if the amount of funds is relatively large, it is better to choose to borrow, because it is safe, for example, if you are optimistic about the sharp rise of the US dollar against the yen and the West German mark, then you can first borrow a certain amount of yen and West German mark to convert it into US dollars, and wait until the repayment date is approaching, and then exchange the US dollars back to the original amount of yen and West German mark, which does not have to worry about the exchange rate change during the loan period, as long as the final exchange rate can make money." ”

Ji Sheng bowed slightly, he also felt that it was safe to borrow.

"As for foreign exchange futures have an obvious disadvantage, for example, since April, the dollar exchange rate has fallen slightly, today's dollar against the yen and the West German mark price is 13 and 1845 respectively, assuming that you are optimistic that the dollar will rise to 14 and 1.9 for these two currencies in the next period of time, and it is true that the final delivery date is as you thought at the beginning, but it is still possible to make no money, or even lose all your money." Michael. Baker said carefully, "Because the exchange rate of foreign exchange futures jumps very much during the contract period, even exceeding the maximum fluctuation of the contract leveraged price, once this happens, you can only be forced to liquidate, even if you are accurate, you can't make money." ”

Ji Sheng snorted.

Michael. Baker didn't finish speaking, "Of course, foreign exchange futures have the advantages of foreign exchange futures, which can use a small amount of money to leverage a huge amount of funds, and the final income may be dozens or hundreds of times that of the loan, depending on how you choose." ”

After Ji Sheng listened, he had a point in his heart.

Actually, just now Michael. Baker's hypothetical price is already very bold, because in recent years the dollar has been forced to interfere with the policies of various countries, and the price has not been able to rise.

But the information Ji Sheng has gathered in modern society is even more exaggerated.

On June 14, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen and the West German mark will reach a peak of 152 yen per dollar and 2.04 West German marks.

What does this mean?

It means that according to today's exchange rate, Ji Sheng can earn 22 yen and 0.195 West German marks per dollar.

If he leverages these two currencies with a fund of one billion dollars respectively, he will be able to earn 22 billion yen and 195 million West German marks, and then he will earn 144.7 billion dollars and 95.58 million dollars when converted into dollars, which together will be more than 240 million dollars.

Of course, this will require a huge sum of two billion dollars.

Ji Sheng will definitely not be able to take out the two billion dollars of funds at present, and it is not possible to borrow them through normal channels, because there are not so many assets to pledge, but he has a complete set of the most advanced technology of the hepatitis B vaccine in hand, and if he wants, it is not a big deal to mortgage two billion dollars with this technology.

Even if he asks Merck directly for it, Ji Sheng believes that as long as he is willing to sell this technology, Merck is willing to give so much money.

It's just that he won't give this technology to others unless he has to, after all, the benefits are too great.

Therefore, Ji Sheng pondered that if he wanted to make more than 300 million US dollars with this wonderful opportunity, he had to rely on foreign exchange futures.

It's just that foreign exchange futures have a more embarrassing place. Baker said very clearly, that is, the price fluctuates too much, and it may be forced to liquidate.

The data collected by Ji Sheng is very detailed, but the problem is that foreign exchange price fluctuations are not as stable as crude oil futures, and it is impossible for him to collect data for every fluctuation, so there is a risk here, the leverage ratio is too large, and he may really lose all his money.

I want to borrow steadily.

If you want to make more money, foreign exchange futures are the best choice.

Ji Sheng fell into deep thought, of course he wanted to make more money, but he didn't want to take the risk, how could he leverage a large amount of money to make a big deal without taking any risk?

I haven't thought of a way yet.

Forget it, let's talk to Aignan before you think about what to do.

Ji Sheng didn't dwell too much.

……

The car came to the Envision International Hotel.

Originally Michael. Baker wanted to wait in the car, but Ji Sheng thought about it and took him with him.

Come to the floor and find the room.

Ring the doorbell, the door quickly opened, and Agnan appeared in front of him.

"My dear Ji, long time no see."

"Haha, Mr. Agnan, you've been fat again lately."

Ji Sheng hugged Agnan, who was in pajamas, and then he introduced Michael to the other party. Baker, the three of them walked into the room.

Originally, he was a little puzzled why Agnam had made an appointment with him to meet him in the hotel.

But after walking in, Ji Sheng saw a very beautiful woman lying on the big bed in the hotel, and then he understood what was going on.

Agnan didn't introduce who this woman was, but just pulled Ji Sheng to the small square table by the window and sat down, then took out a fine cigar and handed it to Ji Sheng, after being refused, he smoked the cigar alone and asked: "Ji, what is the important thing you want to see me in the middle of the night?" ”

Ji Sheng thought about what to say on the way here, and he decided to probe Egnan's tone first, "Man, if I want you State Street Bank to borrow 130 billion yen and 2 billion West German marks for me to convert them into US dollars, and wait until the repayment date to return them in Japanese yen and West German marks, is it possible?" ”

Egnan was stunned, "You want to borrow so much money all at once?" Is this to speculate on foreign exchange? ”

Ji Sheng first tried to see if the safest way would work, whether he could borrow money, and if not, he would consider others, "Well, yes." ”

Agnam frowned, "It's a bit difficult to borrow such a large sum of money, what can you pledge?" ”

Ji Sheng said truthfully: "I have nothing to pledge, if I have a corresponding value of stocks, securities and other things to pledge, then I don't need to discuss this matter with you." ”

"If I can still figure out how to operate it for three or five hundred million dollars, but you need almost two billion dollars of money at this time......" Egnan frowned even more, "I can't do anything." ”

And so it was.

Ji Sheng was disappointed.

Then he seems to have only one way left: foreign exchange futures.

But foreign exchange futures are too risky, and he really doesn't want to take risks.

Just when Ji Sheng was thinking about what to do.

Aignan spoke again, "Or else...... I arrange for you to meet with our chairman? Do you talk to him? ”
