The plan was finalized.

For the next whole day, Ji Cheng was almost discussing the details of the operation with the three chairmen.

Originally, Ji Cheng felt that he had designed this formula perfectly with the help of the information collected in modern society, but after a deeper communication with the three chairmen, he knew that his formula could be more perfect.

Especially John. Bogle, the legendary godfather of the financial world, made this approach almost impeccable in a few words.

When Fang Yu was finally decided, the three chairmen left with Fang Yu just after nightfall.

Michael, who served Ji Cheng and others all day. Baker was so tired that when the man was gone, he sat down without an image.

Ji Cheng smiled and looked at the housekeeper who was loyal to him, he knew that the first concept of people engaged in the housekeeping industry was loyalty, because there were too many private things involved in being a housekeeper, and if he was not loyal in this industry, he would basically not be able to get along.

"Michael, do you want to make money?"

Ji Cheng suddenly said.

Michael. Baker replied with a smile: "Sir, there is no one in this world who does not love money, right?" ”

Ji Chengxin said that you don't know, buddy really knows that someone once said, "I'm not interested in money, I've never touched money", he thought and said: "If you really want to make money, you can buy some short-term soybean futures in these two days, and wait until the contract delivery date to deliver immediately, but I remind you that don't touch soybean futures next month, you will lose all your money." ”

Michael. Baker was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it okay to go short?" ”

"Nope." Ji Cheng said meaningfully, "Because no one can accurately grasp that variable, even I can't." ”

In the future, soybean futures will involve too much capital operation, which is not something that can be controlled by individuals.

The three major groups and Ji Cheng will work together to manipulate the price of soybean futures, they will look at the market form, and then decide how much to make the price, so to speak, when they operate, ostensibly the Rockefeller family, which holds a large number of soybean futures contracts, is harvesting shorts, but in fact, the three major groups and Ji Cheng are harvesting the market, including the Rockefeller family, which will be harvested together.

The reason why Ji Cheng and Michael. Baker said this because he knew that many people around the rich would secretly follow the trend after hearing some trade secrets, and the first stage was nothing, and the second stage involved confidentiality. Baker was found to be following the trend, so he naturally had to open his mouth to warn.

Michael. Baker was a clever man, and understood the meaning of this as soon as he heard this, and he immediately assured: "Don't worry, sir, I will not spoil your plans." ”

Ji Cheng snorted, "After this stall, there are opportunities to make money, and when you follow behind, you will definitely earn more than this time." ”

"Thank you, sir." Michael. Baker thanked him, and then he asked suspiciously, "I'm a little curious, why didn't they ask you to take the money out?" ”

"Huh." Ji Cheng laughed, "Because the time to get the money hasn't come yet, but it's too soon, I should have to take the money out in the middle of next month, although I really can't take out much money now, but when next month happens to be the end of the gambling with State Street Group, I should be able to have more than a billion dollars of funds to operate......" Speaking of this, he sighed, "It's a pity that this fund is still too little, because the next harvest of soybean futures will definitely be able to make enough huge profits, showing geometric super high profits, if only I had more money." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly.

It's good to make more than a billion dollars from betting on foreign exchange with State Street Group, and it will be a while, where will he go to get more money?

Ji Cheng wanted to borrow from the bank, but Citibank and State Street Group are now preparing a large amount of money to attack the Rockefeller family, and the money will definitely not be able to borrow at this time, on the contrary, if he borrows money from State Street Bank and Citibank at this time, it will be despised by others.

As for other banks, Ji Cheng was afraid that the news would leak out.

After all, the relationship between the major consortia in the beautiful country is inextricably linked, who knows if there will be any connection?

The only thing he believes now is the three consortia of Citibank, State Street Group, and Vanguard Group, and he can't say that he believes it, but he can only say that these three groups and the Rockefeller family have a relatively large conflict of interest, and the possibility of anti-water is small.

So if you want to get more money, you have to find a way for Ji Cheng to figure it out.

But in fact, he really can't help it now, after all, time is too short.

Forget it, make less and earn less.

As long as the Rockefeller family can be destroyed, Ji Cheng believes that in this process of destruction, his billions of dollars will snowball, constantly devouring the Rockefeller family and part of the capital market to grow.

……

The three major groups have made great efforts!

In the days that followed, the three major groups began to pour capital into the Chicago Board of Trade, forcing the price of soybean futures to rise.

Because it is just a simple purchase of soybean futures contracts, in fact, there is not much money to spend, about one or two hundred million US dollars, which is as little as a drop in the bucket for the three major groups.

It's not that there is no difficulty, because the position cannot be held in one account, otherwise fools can see the problem, the three major groups and Ji Cheng used capital to carry out a series of operations and held positions with a large number of different accounts.

The results were also immediate.

When the capital began to operate, the price of soybean futures rose from 653.35 cents to 674.72 cents on the same day.

This price increase is relatively good, after all, it is only one day.

However, although the increase data is good, it is about 21 cents, which is not too noticeable.

It's just that things are different then.

On the second day, soybean futures rose another 30.5 cents.

On the third day, it rose by 27.4 cents.

Day 4......

Day 5......

When the delivery came to the end of the month, the price of soybean futures had reached 1,123.46 cents, 10 percent higher than last year's highest price, and even exceeded the highest price of soybean futures this year that Ji Cheng learned from modern society at the beginning!

At this moment, soybean futures were immediately favored by the capital market.

Countless people wave dollar bills and want to invest, buy up or down, but unfortunately soybean futures are so big on the Chicago Board of Trade, and many people can't buy soybean futures contracts if they have money.

Of course, those are retail investors.

In fact, as the delivery date approaches, soybean futures contracts are still in circulation, and those "big investors" who do not want to deliver the contracts are rolling their positions.

Futures rollover refers to the trading of futures, and the contract that is about to expire is transferred to the next month or a later month. When the futures contract expires, if it is not closed, it must be transferred, and the rollover is transferred to another contract. Position is the ratio of your holdings to your capital.

However, it is possible to cause losses due to the fact that transaction costs may be incurred in the process of futures rollover, that is, futures handling fees, which involve the collection of two handling fees.

Of course, the futures transfer should grasp the time, the closer to the delivery month, the general margin will also rise, and many large investors will change the contract one month before the delivery month.

Ji Cheng and the three major groups do not have this trouble, because they have only recently entered the market, and the delivery date of their own contracts is not in the same month.

But there was a little problem on the Rockefeller side.

……

Rockefeller Investment Advisors.

David. Rockefeller and his brother Lawrence. Rockefeller was deliberating.

Lawrence. Rockefeller is still nominally the head of the Rockefeller family. Rockefeller's father was none other than the founder of the Rockefeller family, the most famous John Jr. Davidson. Rockefeller.

As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son.

These two men inherited the strong business skills of Rockefeller Jr., especially Lawrence. Rockefeller is the pioneer of modern venture capital, and one of the biggest contributors to the Rockefeller family's assets multiplied. Rockefeller too.

It must be mentioned here that the New York Stock Exchange was once the property of the Rockefeller family.

However, with the intervention of capital, the Rockefeller family now does not hold much of the shares in the Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, and now they control about 6.5 percent of the shares with the help of the Black Rock Company, and some other companies hold shares, ranging from one percent to a few tenths of a percent, about 12 percent of the shares in total.

It is precisely because the Rockefeller family has a stake in such an important institution and has a voice that it can maintain enough influence after losing control of Chase Manhattan Bank.

"How's the soybean futures going?" Lawrence. Rockefeller asked, sitting in his office chair.

David. Rockefeller was overjoyed and said: "We should have succeeded in forcing positions, and the price of soybean futures has now risen to 1,123.46 cents." ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller was stunned for a moment, "I remember that the price at the beginning of this month seems to be just over 600 cents, right?" Rising so fast? ”

David. Rockefeller's eyebrows fluttered: "A large number of contracts are in our hands, and the forced position is successful, and the price has of course risen fast." ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller was more cautious and asked, "Is there someone behind it?" ”

"No, I asked people to investigate, this time the price of soybean futures can continue to rise in addition to the huge number of positions we have, Vanguard Group, State Street Group and Citibank also intervened, at first I learned that these three companies intervened, and I thought they were going to make trouble, but I later carefully investigated, they did not have any big investment in the shorts, just bought soybean futures contracts, if they really want to make a fool, there is only one possibility, that is, to burn with us and lose money together."

David. Rockefeller shared the information he found with his brother, in fact, what did the super consortium at their level do, if they didn't deliberately hide it, they would basically find some clues, and the three major groups didn't seem to deliberately hide anything, which was why the Rockefeller family had some information.

Lawrence. After listening to this, Rockefeller began to think deeply, if the three major groups really want to make a ghost, they will definitely not only buy futures contracts, but also make some articles in the short market, after all, in this way, they can contradict their Rockefeller family and at the same time seek sufficient benefits.

But since the three major groups are not making a fuss about the shorts, there is only one possibility, that is, the three major groups may find that the Rockefeller family is ready to use soybean futures to force positions and want a share of the pie.

Capital is pervasive.

Who wouldn't want to get involved in this kind of thing that could be of great interest?

Lawrence. Rockefeller thought for a moment and then smiled dumbly, "These three groups are a good idea, we are working hard in front, and they are cheap." ”

David. Rockefeller laughed: "Who doesn't want to make money?" If we find that other consortiums are manipulating soybean futures to force positions, we will definitely find ways to intervene, although it is very unpleasant to be taken advantage of, but we cannot occupy the market completely, otherwise how to harvest? The intervention of the three major groups together may make us make less money, but in this way it will become more indestructible, as long as it is not discovered by the exchange, with the strength of our four major consortia, we can harvest as much as we want, we don't know what happened. ”

From a deeper level, the intervention of the three major groups is indeed more beneficial to the Rockefeller family's manipulation of soybean futures to force positions. As Rockefeller said, their family will make less money as a result, and they can manipulate soybean futures to force positions, which will become more stable.

Lawrence. Rockefeller's mind turned around a few times, "Well, then act as if you don't know anything, and wait for the next contract to be closed, if they don't quit, give them a ruthless blow." ”

David. Rockefeller laughed and said, "That's what I thought, too." ”

The two brothers chatted for a while.

Lawrence. Rockefeller asked again, "You didn't come to me today to talk about it, did you?" ”

"There's something else." David. Rockefeller frowned and said: "The contract is about to be delivered, and now with the intervention of the three major groups, the price has almost doubled, and if we want to harvest in the next delivery month, we need more funds, otherwise when we end the transfer, I am afraid that there may be the possibility of being taken over by the three major groups, and then we will make wedding dresses for others, and I need money." ”

When it comes to money, Lawrence. Rockefeller frowned, "You also know that the family does not have a lot of cash, and money is needed in many places, and this time the soybean futures are used to force the harvest, and the funds that need to be used are very large, if I take out all the money, it is enough, the problem is that if there is any problem in the family industry during the period, there will be no money to operate." ”

David. Rockefeller also couldn't help frowning, "But now the contract has to be transferred, and then the contract will continue to be bought, so that the price will climb higher, what will you let me do if I don't have money?" ”

"Isn't the Center Building talking to the Mitsubishi Group? They still bite to death 900 million dollars and don't let go? Lawrence. Rockefeller asked, he was not in charge of this matter, and naturally he did not know the progress of the negotiations.

David. Rockefeller said: "The Mitsubishi Group bit 900 million US dollars, and our psychological price is 1.3 billion, if we continue to talk, it is indeed possible to talk about this price in another month or two, but I really can't wait." ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller didn't answer, he took a puff on his cigar and stared at the office door, not knowing what he was thinking.

David. Rockefeller knew that his brother was thinking about a countermeasure, so he simply didn't say anything.

About a few minutes later, Lawrence. Rockefeller seemed to have an idea, and he didn't directly say the solution, but asked again: "How much money do you probably lack over there?" ”

David. Rockefeller carefully recalled, "I have secretly borrowed about four or five billion dollars from other places, in fact, this amount of money is enough, but if you want to be safe, it is better to give me another billion dollars." ”

The Rockefeller family has always been known for its prudent investments, otherwise it would not have been rich for so many generations.

Lawrence. Rockefeller said, "How sure are you now?" How sure are you that you will be able to do this well if you have another billion funds? ”

"I'm about 70 percent sure now." David. Rockefeller calculated, "Give me another billion dollars, and I should be 90 percent sure." ”

"Hmm." Lawrence. Rockefeller bowed slightly, "In that case, what about ...... If you ask a small and medium-sized consortium in China, is there anyone willing to pay a billion dollars to immediately take over the Rockefeller Center, and if so, sell it. ”

David. Rockefeller was a little confused: "Sold for a billion?" ”

Lawrence. Rockefeller said meaningfully: "I asked you to ask small and medium-sized consortia about this, not large consortia, you still don't understand?" ”

So said David. Rockefeller immediately understood.

It is difficult for a small and medium-sized consortium to come up with a billion dollars at once, so the only way to obtain a Rockefeller Center is to borrow.

And the Rockefeller family now needs cash flow, and once they succeed in getting this money, then as long as there are no problems with soybean futures, they can harvest a lot of money in two or three months at most.

When the time comes, the small and medium-sized consortium that bought the Rockefeller Center will definitely not have finished repaying the loan, and the Rockefeller family can completely take over the loan contract from other lenders, and then use all kinds of capital to force others to sell the Rockefeller Center back to them, and even if it works well, it will not be used for a billion when it is bought.

David. Rockefeller said, "I know how to do it." ”

"Alright, go get busy with you." Lawrence. Rockefeller waved his hand.

David. Rockefeller got up and said goodbye to his brother.

Just David. When Rockefeller turned and walked to the office door, Lawrence. Rockefeller suddenly called out to him, "David." ”

"What's the matter?" David. Rockefeller turned his head to look at it.

Lawrence. Rockefeller squinted his eyes and said, "I've heard that you seem to have done something to an Oriental before, right?" You tell me the situation carefully. ”

David. Rockefeller didn't know why his brother suddenly said this at this time, he was a little confused, but he still turned around and sat down and explained this matter in detail.

Lawrence. After listening to this, Rockefeller said bluntly: "You are not allowed to do it again for the time being." ”

This time David. Rockefeller was a little anxious, "Why?" If I stopped doing anything to him, wouldn't Lawrence die in vain? ”

"Revenge doesn't have to be rushed." Lawrence. Rockefeller said meaningfully: "But do the same thing, you first do a good job of forcing soybean futures positions, and when you have enough funds on hand, you can directly crush him with capital, why do you want to do such a low-level thing as sending killers?" ”

David who was smacked. Rockefeller's face turned pale, he knew Lawrence. Rockefeller is warning him not to lose big because of small things, and he is reminding him that the head of the Rockefeller family is Lawrence. Rockefeller, not his David. Rockefeller.

"I see." David. Rockefeller didn't dare to say anything more, got up and left.

Lawrence. Rockefeller turned his chair and looked out the window, silent for a long time, and suddenly, he sneered, "Ji Cheng? A little Oriental would dare to provoke me with the majesty of the Rockefeller family? ”

……

The other side.

The date of the end of the VAM agreement is getting closer and closer.

Ji Cheng has become even busier these days, in addition to constantly paying attention to soybean futures, he is also constantly revising his schedule, wanting to arrange his time as well as possible without affecting the follow-up operation.

The First Cause of All Worlds

Burma, he is definitely going to go.

The Rockefeller family, he must also destroy it with his own hands.

But at this time, when Ji Cheng had just re-customized the schedule, an unexpected message came in and disrupted the itinerary.

This time he was visited by the founder of the Blackstone Group, Peter Brown. Peterson.

"Ji, I got news from here that the Rockefeller family is ready to sell the Rockefeller Center Building for a billion dollars, are you interested in buying it?" Peter. Peterson asked as soon as he entered the office of the boss of Joaquin Capital.

Ji Cheng sat in the office and was stunned for a moment, "The Rockefeller family sold the Center Building for a billion dollars? ”

Peter. Peterson was not polite, and sat down on the sofa of the guest when he came in, "Yes, the Rockefeller family found me just now and wanted to ask me if I was interested in buying it, I don't have much interest in buying such fixed assets, but I think that a billion dollars can buy Rockefeller Center, and I will definitely make a lot of money by placing it for a few years, so I want to ask you if you buy it?" ”

Ji Cheng wanted to say at the moment that he was not interested, where did he have a billion dollars? After all, the VAM agreement has not yet expired.

But after thinking about it, according to the information collected from modern society, the price of the Rockefeller Center to the Mitsubishi Group was more than $1.3 billion, and he wondered if he had bought the Rockefeller Center for $1 billion and then contacted the Mitsubishi Group, would it be possible for the middlemen to make the difference?

It's just that he still has some information uncertain and asked: "Isn't the Rockefeller family negotiating with Mitsubishi Group to sell the Rockefeller Center?" Why do you suddenly want to sell to someone else for a billion dollars? ”

"I don't know much about that." Peter. Peterson shook his head, "But what I get is that if anyone is willing to give the Rockefeller family a billion dollars in a short period of time, they will sign a contract immediately. ”

A billion dollars in a short period of time?

Ji Cheng understood as soon as he heard it, it must be related to soybean futures, or rather, he and the three major groups have recently speculated the price of soybean futures too high, and the Rockefeller family has also suffered huge economic pressure under the premise of seeing huge benefits, after all, the original purpose of the Rockefeller family was to hold a large number of soybean futures contracts, and then force the price to rise, and finally harvest shorts.

Now the price has risen sharply, but the number of soybean futures contracts in the hands of the Rockefeller family has not yet reached the point where it can completely affect the market price, and more funds will be invested in the purchase of futures contracts.

Thinking of this, Ji Chengle sighed, his original purpose was to let the Rockefeller family invest more money in soybean futures, but now the other party has really done it.

In addition, he also saw a way to temporarily improve his strength before the decisive battle of soybean futures, that is, to buy Rockefeller Center and then sell it to Mitsubishi Group.

It's just that there are risks involved.

That is, what if the Mitsubishi Group has been dragging its feet and refusing to give a high price?

Ji Cheng knew that Mitsubishi Group would definitely be willing to give a super high price of more than $1.3 billion in the end, but the question was when to give it.

He will also have to invest a large amount of money in soybean futures, which will be very bad for him if it drags on for a long time.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Ji Cheng made a decision at the first time, "You help me ask the Rockefeller family, and they say that I am willing to buy it, and they are willing to sell it." ”

"If you have money to make, why don't you sell it?" Peter. Peterson said with some confusion.

Ji Cheng smiled and didn't explain, Peter. Peterson was not yet aware of the feud between him and the Rockefeller family, and in general, who would give the enemy a chance to make money? And the Rockefeller Center Building, which is now being sold for a billion dollars, is sure to rise in value in the future.

That's why he let Peter. Peterson asked the Rockefellers if they would sell the Center to him.

If you are really willing to sell, then I'm sorry, buddy is going to make a lot of money from it, and then rely on this money to reap the money invested by the Rockefeller family in soybean futures.

This is tantamount to the enemy funding himself.

Ji Cheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, of course, if the other party was unwilling to sell, he would have nothing to lose.
