Chapter 277: Shocking Revelations (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets)
Inside an abandoned factory.
The atmosphere was unusually eerie.
It is clear that Ji Cheng is the one who was kidnapped, but he seems to be interrogating Lawrence.
As the main messenger of the kidnapping of Ji Cheng, Lawrence is more like a prisoner.
"Since you know that the Rockefeller family is standing behind me, you should also understand the meaning of what I just said, right?" Lawrence said while smoking a cigarette: "Even if I let you go now, with the power of the Rockefeller family, do you think you can move me?" ”
Ji Cheng smiled and shook his head, "With my current strength, I definitely can't." ”
"If only you had self-knowledge." Lawrence flicked the ash.
Ji Cheng smiled dumbly, and said in his heart that with my current strength, I am indeed not the opponent of the Rockefeller family, but what if I contact other giants?
If the Rockefeller family has always been in a strong state, naturally no one dares to do anything to it.
But if, as he had guessed at the beginning, the Rockefeller family had encountered something very troublesome, so troublesome that even more than a billion dollars needed to be liquidated by selling assets in order to make turnover, what would happen if such news was known to other consortia?
Capital doesn't talk about it!
If other capitals find that there is an opportunity to swallow Rockefeller's huge industrial chain, Ji Cheng believes that those capitals will not hesitate to open their mouths.
"Say, what is your market that is ready to operate tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars? Say it, I'll hear if it's really feasible and let you live. Lawrence said.
Ji Cheng is not a fool, of course he knows that it's okay if he doesn't say it, if he really says it, there is only one way to die waiting for him, "If you want me to say yes, but I'm a little curious in my heart, you answer first, I'll talk about it." ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Perhaps considering that Ji Cheng would definitely be attacked next, that is to say, Ji Cheng was about to be a dead man, Lawrence completely relaxed his vigilance and smacked his lips: "Say." ”
The other four killers sent by the Rockefeller family didn't take it seriously, just stood quietly.
Ji Cheng snorted and said, "Actually, I don't have much curiosity, I just want to know, is there any difficulty encountered by the Rockefeller family?" ”
"What are you asking for?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
One of them, one tall and one strong, the two male killers frowned and said.
Lawrence stopped the two from continuing with a cross hand, and he looked at Ji Cheng with a smile, "Oh? Why? ”
"It's simple." Ji Cheng still sat calmly, "If the Rockefeller family didn't encounter any difficulties, then since they wanted to kill me, they would just kill me directly, and it was unlikely that they would kidnap me at the risk of being discovered, and let you ask me about my next investment, the Rockefeller family, which is rich enough to rival the country, needs my billions of profits?" So there is only one possibility, the Rockefeller family is probably in danger, right? ”
The faces of the four killers changed in an instant, as if they had been hit by Ji Cheng's sore spot.
"Ugh." Lawrence couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Ji, although I have only just come into contact with you, I have to say that you are indeed too smart, and you can guess the root of the matter with a little clue." ”
Ji Cheng listened quietly and didn't say a word, knowing that Lawrence's words were not finished yet.
Sure enough, Lawrence beckoned to the thinner male killer among them, and while the skinny killer took out an ashbox from his bag and handed it over, Lawrence said while snuffing out the cigarette butt: "Indeed, something happened to the Rockefeller family, but it is not yet at the moment of crisis." ”
Ji Cheng blinked and said, "What's the matter?" ”
If someone usually asks this question, Lawrence will definitely not answer, but in his opinion, it won't be long before Ji Chengcheng is a corpse, and it is impossible to leak secrets, in that case, what can't be said?
So, he took it for granted and said, "Do you know Chase? ”
Ji Cheng asked rhetorically, "Chase Manhattan Bank?" ”
Lawrence nodded and said, "Yes." ”
This bank Ji Cheng must know.
Many people will feel unfamiliar with the Chase Manhattan Bank, because this bank was swallowed up by the Morgan Group in 2,000 years, and since then there are only Chase and Chase Bank in the world, and there is no more Chase Manhattan.
Everyone knows the strength of Motong and Chase, which is second to none in the world.
So what about Chase Manhattan?
The bank...... In other words, Chase Bank was founded in the seventies of the nineteenth century, and its most glorious time was during the war years, when it became the largest commercial bank in the beautiful country, although after entering the twentieth century, Chase Bank even annexed the original Bank of Manhattan and became more powerful.
But where there are people, there is strife.
Chase Manhattan Bank is the largest bank for credit cards, mortgages, and car loans in beautiful countries, which naturally attracts the covetousness of countless people.
Even though Chase Bank was once founded by the Rockefeller family, the power once fell into the hands of others, such as the next head of the Rockefeller family, David Brown. Rockefeller's uncle Winthrop. Aldrich became the de facto ruler of Chase Manhattan Bank.
This was the case until David. Rockefeller entered the Chase Manhattan Bank, and after another fifteen or sixteen years of planning and power struggle, David Brown. Rockefeller once again snatched back the power of the bank, and Chase Manhattan had become the largest commercial bank in the beautiful country after the Bank of America.
But by this point, the Rockefellers had not yet fully regained control of Chase Manhattan Bank.
Because at that time, Chase Manhattan Bank also had a co-CEO, George.
Of course, David. Rockefeller still had the last laugh, and in 1969, George "retired", and since then, the Chase Manhattan Bank has been re-ruled by the Rockefeller family.
And it is because of David. Rockefeller took full control of the Chase Manhattan Bank, and during this period, the Rockefeller family's wealth skyrocketed, and there was a rumor to describe the Rockefeller family's wealth: the entire Fifth Avenue in New York belonged to the Rockefeller family.
But the good times were short-lived, and in 1974, when the economy of the beautiful country was in recession, Chase Manhattan Bank was hit head-on.
Although Chase Manhattan Bank survived the event, it continued to grow better and better, and even from 1976 to 1980, Chase Manhattan Bank's revenue more than doubled, and its return on assets surpassed that of its rival Citibank.
But because the Rockefeller family's stake in Chase never exceeded five percent, the hidden danger was born.
In 1981, David. Rockefeller "honorably retired" from Chase Bank for 35 years, and although he continued to serve as chairman of the International Advisory Committee of Chase Manhattan Bank after his retirement, playing the role of "diplomat" of the bank, in fact, the power was no longer in the hands of the Rockefeller family.
Ji Cheng probably understood why the Rockefeller family was in a hurry.
The absence of the Chase Manhattan Engine-like component made it difficult for the Rockefeller family in every aspect.
Take the example he had previously instigated Darren. In terms of Woods' bid for the chairman of Exxon, if the Rockefeller family still controls the Chase Manhattan Bank, they can rely on the bank's operations to bring Darren Brown. Woods kicked out, or rather, kicked out the shareholders of Vanguard and State Street.
Unfortunately, the Rockefellers didn't have Chase Manhattan to control the situation.
Well, now what the Rockefeller family is going to do if they continue to fund is basically coming out.
Get enough money and find a way to regain control of Chase Manhattan Bank!
This is more than anyone could have imagined, and I am afraid that tens of billions of dollars in cash will be involved.
No wonder you want to sell Rockefeller Center!
No wonder I want to know what I'm going to do next!
It turns out that he is sparing no effort to collect funds as much as possible!
Ji Cheng went around his head, but his face was still pretending to be a lake: "What does it have to do with Chase Manhattan Bank?" ”
"Hey, you can't guess so smart? Season, don't play stupid! Lawrence didn't believe it at all.
Ji Cheng was not annoyed when he saw through it, and said directly with a smile: "Even if the profit of the next operation I want to operate is billions of dollars, it is still difficult for the Rockefeller family to regain control of Chase Manhattan Bank with this money, right?" The money is still too little. ”
"Haha, hahahaha."
Lawrence burst out laughing.
Ji Cheng frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh at you for not knowing much about capital." Lawrence looked at Ji Cheng with interest, "You are calling for wind and rain in the futures and foreign exchange markets, don't you know that there is a kind of underground bookmaker?" ”
What is an Underground Banker?
Underground bookmakers are private equity funds and the like, the kind of people who take a lot of money to get rid of the sunshine and the law to escape market supervision, a bit like a large market maker or private equity fund group suspected of manipulating the market.
This sentence would have been nothing.
Because Lawrence didn't reveal much information at all.
But Ji Cheng crossed over from the modern society, and he also collected enough information from the modern society before he crossed over this time, knowing what happened in the futures, securities, stock market and even the foreign exchange market in the beautiful country in eight or nine years!
He quickly linked the financial events he had collected to the Rockefeller family, and at the same time began to rule them out.
Foreign exchange?
The Rockefeller family has lost control of the Chase Manhattan Bank, and it is difficult to be suspected of operating foreign exchange with large sums of money, that is, the possibility of the Rockefeller family's involvement in the depreciation of the yen and the West German mark is very low.
Stock?
In October, there was indeed a major stock market crash on the side of the beautiful country, but the cause of the stock market crash was caused by the acquisition of United Airlines led by the spending bank and Chase Bank, and now the Rockefeller family has not restored control of Chase Bank, which can be ruled out from this information.
So...... There is only one possibility left!
Futures!
Ji Cheng's mind gradually recalled the major events in the futures market of the beautiful country in eight or nine years.
That's the Florze company's manipulation of soybean futures forced positions!
The positions in the futures market are not publicly released, which also creates the best conditions for Floz to force positions.
Ji Cheng remembers that by the time it was discovered, Floze had opened a long soybean position of 22 million bushels, which was seven times the limit for investment trading and five times the limit of any other market participant.
Most importantly, Fromz's position at that time accounted for 53 percent of the short contract volume, and the futures position held exceeded 85 percent of the total market position at that time.
The price of soybean futures per bushel in '89 was not too expensive, with an average closing price of 670.76 cents, and the opening price at the beginning of the year was much higher, at 814.5 cents, and even reached a peak of 829.5 cents, of course, the lowest point was only 544.25 cents.
Judging from these figures, even the peak of 829.5 cents and 22 million bushels of soybean futures involved is only $18.2 billion.
This is not comparable to shorting and buying crude oil futures before Ji Cheng.
But don't forget one thing, beautiful country over-the-counter funding is legal!
In beautiful countries, over-the-counter allocations can reach up to hundreds of times!
In other words, as long as someone spends less than $200 million to control the soybean futures of the Chicago Board of Trade, they can leverage tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars in the soybean futures market around the world!
Once you've pried such a large plate, what happens next?
As long as the Florze Company insists on not letting go of the silver futures manipulation by the Hunter brothers in 1979, the price of soybean futures will rise or fall for a long time to come.
You must know that when the Hunter brothers bought silver futures, the price was only $6.7 per ounce, but under the manipulation of the Hunter brothers, the price of silver futures reached an unprecedented high price of 5.35 per ounce!
It has risen more than eightfold in less than a year!
If Floze really succeeds in manipulating soybean futures, then the company can also make the futures price increase several times in a short period of time, as the Hunter brothers did.
Just imagine, a large market involving tens of billions of dollars or hundreds of billions of dollars, the price has increased several times, how much can Florz company profit from it? Billions of dollars are the least thing, tens of billions are not impossible, if the operation is good, hundreds of billions of hope!
At first, he thought that the Florze company's manipulation of soybean futures was just accidental, and at that time he was a little puzzled, how could a little-known company be so bold and dare to touch such a large plate, not afraid of being hated and murdered by capital?
Now that Ji Cheng understands, it turns out that the Rockefeller family is standing behind the Floz Company.
Ji Cheng completely guessed the intention of the Rockefeller family, if nothing else, the Rockefeller family wants to make more money now, and then use this large amount of money and the huge amount of soybean futures controlled by the Flotz company to start manipulating the international soybean futures price, once successful, the Rockefeller family will get huge profits, let alone return to the Chase Manhattan Bank, with the influence of the Rockefeller family and such a huge amount of money, even if it is not impossible to reach the top of the first family in the beautiful country again, when the time comes, The Rockefeller family is once again able to influence the fortunes of a beautiful country.
What a terrible means!
If Ji Cheng didn't come over, he couldn't analyze the ambitions of the Rockefeller family.
"Hehe, I guess I understand." Ji Cheng chuckled, his hand had already pretended to be on his waist as if he was moving his bones, but in fact, his fingers had already touched the mobile phone hidden in the secret compartment of his pants, he knew the intention of the Rockefeller family, and there was no need to waste any more time.
Lawrence didn't know that Ji Cheng was ready to open up, he still sneered as if he was winning, "What do you know?" Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell me your next investor, I'll let you go when I'm satisfied, otherwise if it drags on any longer, I can't guarantee that the four of them won't do anything unfavorable to you. ”
The four killers made a sound that seemed to be laughing but not laughing very cooperatively, as if warning Ji Cheng to be honest.
To the surprise of these five people, Ji Cheng suddenly chuckled, "Just because you five wastes want to threaten me?" ”
Lawrence was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”
Ji Cheng yawned, "It's nothing, I've had enough of you guys, and the information is almost the same, I should go." ”
He never thought that he would take the initiative to send it to the door to obtain such amazing information, and Ji Cheng quickly analyzed in his head that if he used this information, not only could he destroy the Rockefeller family, but he might even directly become one of the giants who could affect the fortunes of the beautiful country.
"Let's go?" Lawrence laughed dumbly.
The other four killers laughed too.
They seemed to have heard some fantasy, and they were really amused by Ji Cheng.
But the next second, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Because just as Lawrence was about to say something, Ji Cheng suddenly disappeared out of thin air!
