A new day is coming.

Ji Cheng returned home from outside.

Tom: "......"

Derek: "......"

They were stunned!

As a gold medal bodyguard, especially Tom, he is an anti-reconnaissance expert, and the two of them slept next to Ji Cheng last night and didn't find anyone going out, they both doubted their own level!

"Is Miss Lawson here?"

Ji Cheng asked as he walked inside.

When he came inside, he saw Cheng Jianjun, Zheng Chun and others reading the newspaper around the table.

Tom, as the head of security who was in direct contact with Ji Closing, replied, "She's not going to work yet, and she's expected to arrive around eight o'clock." ”

"Okay."

Ji Cheng said a word, then looked at Cheng Jianjun, Zheng Chun and the others and smiled: "What newspaper are you reading?" ”

Cheng Jianjun turned his head to look at it and said with a smile: "The New York Times." ”

Zheng Chun added, "Ji Sheng, your influence is too great, the New York Times praised you to the sky." ”

"Oh?" Ji Cheng said with interest: "Show me." ”

Zhou Cheng handed over the newspaper casually, "It says that you are the most powerful person this year." ”

Ji Cheng took a look, and sure enough, it was so.

I saw that the New York Times published a photo of him at the signing ceremony of the share transfer held by Columbia Pictures, with the caption "Oriental Silver Lion Enters the Film and Television Industry: From the Favor of Financial Giants".

The title is very ordinary, but the content below can blow Ji Cheng to make him blush when he sees it.

What Ji Cheng is so powerful in the financial industry, when he enters the film and television industry, he must also block and kill God and Buddha, what punch Time Warner kicks Universal Pictures, as if Ji Cheng has succeeded.

"Brother Ji, we'll go back tomorrow." Xiao Zhang said suddenly.

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, "So fast? ”

Zhou Chengdao: "It's been seven or eight days, Director Lin and they went back two days ago, we played for two more days, and it's almost time to go back." ”

Originally, it was good for everyone to come over and entertain themselves to play together.

As a result, because I was busy with a lot of things, I didn't play with them at all.

Ji Cheng couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but he was going to start shorting soybean futures again today, and he still didn't have time to play with everyone, so he had to apologize: "You have been here for so many days, I haven't accompanied you to visit New York, and I will ...... next time I am free."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jianjun smiled and waved his hand: "Don't get in the way, we all know that your business is big, and it is natural that you are busy." ”

Zheng Chun also smiled and said: "Isn't it, my old bean is also very busy all day long, I, who is a son, can't see him very much, your current career scale is better than my father's, it's normal to be busy." ”

If he hadn't acquired Columbia Pictures, Ji Cheng would have been almost there.

But today's Huajin Capital is not much worse in terms of scale, but it lacks core industries, which has no choice, and the core industries of investment management companies are basically insurance, trusts, etc., which take time to slowly accumulate customers.

Ji Cheng was about to say something, and suddenly he thought of one thing, that is, Zheng Chun's father seemed to have always had a good relationship with Hang Seng Bank.

Thinking of this, he exchanged a few words with everyone, and then said, "Brother Zheng, let's talk a little in private?" ”

Zheng Chun did not hesitate and said, "Okay." ”

Cheng Jianjun, Zhou Cheng and others knew that Ji Cheng must have something important to chat with Zheng Chun in private, so they simply didn't bother and continued to read the newspaper.

Ji Cheng and Zheng Chun came to the garden outside the house.

He looked around for a moment to make sure that there was no one around, and then said softly: "May I ask, what is the relationship between Uncle Tong and Hang Seng Bank now?" ”

Zheng Chun didn't understand why Ji Cheng asked, but he still answered truthfully: "He has always had a good relationship with Hang Seng Bank, even if HSBC acquired Hang Seng Bank in 1965, he still maintains a good enough relationship with Hang Seng and HSBC, you know, my old bean is one of the richest people in Xiangjiang, and any bank will give face." ”

Ji Cheng didn't say anything immediately, but asked again, "I remember that HSBC is a British company, right?" Who are their shareholders? ”

HSBC's largest shareholder was Huaxia Ping An, followed by Belade, Pioneer Group, etc., but now Wall Street financial institutions such as Bright and Pioneer Group are not as awesome as they were later, and their hands should not have reached HSBC's side.

Zheng Chun blinked and said, "Don't you know in the beautiful country?" The Mellon family is secretly the largest shareholder of HSBC. ”

Ji Cheng said disappointedly: "That's it, forget it." ”

The Mellon family and the Rockefeller family have a really good relationship.

Ji Cheng originally wanted to use HSBC to operate a wave, but he didn't expect that HSBC's secretly largest shareholder was the Mellon family, which had a close relationship with the Rockefeller family.

Zheng Chun seemed to have guessed something, and he asked, "Ji Sheng, let me ask more, do you want to use a bank loan or do something secret?" ”

Ji Cheng snorted, "There is one thing I have never told you, that is, I am on the same page as the Rockefeller family, and I originally wanted to use the relationship between Ling Zun and HSBC to operate a wave, but HSBC secretly controlled the Mellon family......"

Zheng Chun laughed, "Xiangjiang is not only HSBC, but also Standard Chartered Bank. ”

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Standard Chartered? ”

"Yes." Zheng Chun slowly explained: "The largest shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank are Qiu Deba, Bao Yugang and Australian businessman Robert. Holmes, you may not know much about this Qiu Deba, his ancestral home Hu Jianxiamen, later joined the Singapore nationality, and is now the richest man in Singapore, and we have a good relationship with Xiangjiang, and Bao Yugang is a native of Ningbo, Zhejiang, he is very influential in Xiangjiang, and has always been a patriot, trying to promote the return of Xiangjiang, in addition, Huo Yingdong, Cao Guangbiao and others also have good shares in Standard Chartered Bank, so to speak, today's Standard Chartered Bank is controlled by Chinese and Chinese, if you have something to find Standard Chartered, you will not leak the news. ”

Ji Cheng patted his head, yes, today's Standard Chartered Bank has not been involved by Wall Street financial institutions, if you want to operate a wave, and you don't want the Rockefeller family and its related consortiums to know, Standard Chartered Bank is the first choice.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Brother Zheng, I have a big deal to operate recently, can you introduce me to Bao Yugang?" ”

Zheng Chun didn't think about it, and said, "I'll go back and let Lao Dou come forward." ”

Ji Cheng was overjoyed, he was about to say two words of thanks, when he suddenly thought of one more thing, "You just said that the actual controller of HSBC is the Mellon family, right?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Chun nodded.

Ji Cheng had a hazy plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then go back and let Ling Zun also introduce me to the senior management of HSBC." ”

Zheng Chun hesitated: "Didn't you just say that HSBC ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly came to his senses, "Are you going to cheat?" ”

Ji Cheng nodded with a smile, and comforted the other party: "Don't worry, you won't embarrass Ling Zun." ”

"It's just a recommendation, you won't embarrass my old bean by what you do."

Zheng Chun agreed.

As soon as we finished chatting about things, a luxury Cadillac drove into the yard.

Immediately, Miss Lawson, who I had seen yesterday, poked her head out of the passenger seat, "Sir, the bulletproof car has been delivered, do you want to come up and check it?" ”

Ouch!

The bulletproof car has arrived!

Ji Cheng was very interested in this thing, and immediately said, "Okay." ”

Zhou Cheng, Cheng Jianjun and others also heard the movement and ran out, and they got into the car with Ji Cheng to observe.

This bulletproof car looks like a Cadillac Bloheim, an extended version, with a body of more than six meters long.

Ji Cheng went inside and found that the space in the car was indeed very large, enough for a meeting inside, the seats were burgundy leather, and the rear row was separated from the front row, privacy was fully guaranteed, and there was a baffle similar to a small table in front of the seat to put things.

On top of that, its window glass is 10 centimeters thick, and according to Miss Lawson, all body panels of this car meet the standard of light bulletproof, and the same is true for the glass, which is made of polycarbonate and leaded sandwich, and there is a very special protective coating on the glass, which can not only resist bullets, but also can be used to resist long-term physical attacks by blunt objects such as sharp knives and stones.

Unlike many bulletproof cars, this car is specially designed to receive GPS and radio frequencies inside, which is not available in many bulletproof cars.

In addition, it not only has a set of systems that can be connected to the alarm center, even the tires have been specially blasted, bullets are difficult to penetrate, even if they are exploded, they can still maintain a speed of 80 kilometers per hour in a state of lack of air, and the chassis is also equipped with bulletproof armor, even if it is bombed, it will not have an accident because of breakage.

It has too many features, such as a hidden night vision system, a miniature kinetic missile interception system, and so on.

After Ji Cheng took a closer look, he was completely conquered by this car!

Zheng Chun, Zhou Cheng, Cheng Jianjun and others were also envious, and they were going to get one to play with, but after hearing that the customization cost exceeded 10 million US dollars, they all dispelled this idea.

A $10 million car is expensive these days, but can $10 million be compared to life?

Ji Cheng happily let Michael. Baker transferred money to the other party on his behalf.

……

Came to Citibank in a bulletproof car.

Today, Ji Cheng will meet with John, Aignan and Barkley to discuss soybean futures, and he knows that this may be his last cooperation with the three top beautiful national consortia, so he is extremely careful.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Citibank, in the reception room.

Buckley, who sat across from him, lost his former enthusiasm.

Agnan next to him also became much more silent.

Only John was still smiling, after all, Citibank and the Rockefeller family did not deal with each other very well, even if they reached a certain agreement in private, it was still impossible to wholeheartedly help the enemy deal with the enemy's enemy. ，

"Season, starting today we can buy a lot of short soybean futures contracts." Barkley looked at Ji Cheng and said: "The four of us agreed at the beginning to raise 10 billion US dollars together, Citibank, Vanguard Group and State Street Bank each contributed 3 billion, you take out 1 billion US dollars, there should be no problem, right?" ”

Ji Cheng knew that they had changed their minds, and deliberately said tentatively: "I don't have much money on hand, you promised me before, promised to jointly lend me a billion dollars for operation, does this promise still count now?" ”

Barkley's eyes became misty, "This...... Ji, how can I tell you, our Pioneer Group has been short of money recently, I'm afraid we can't provide you with a loan, I'm really sorry. ”

Ji Cheng didn't answer his words, but looked at Agnan.

Aignan has a very good personal relationship with Ji Cheng, but the company has made a decision, and as one of the shareholders, he can't resist the others, so he has to apologize to Ji Cheng with a wry smile, "Ji, I'm really sorry, you also know that taking out three billion dollars in cash at once is not a small amount, and our State Street Bank is also a little difficult to fund......"

Scold!

It's exactly what John said!

Ji Cheng still had a little fantasy about these two at the beginning, but unfortunately it was just a slight temptation that made State Street Bank and Vanguard Group show their true colors.

What a way!

I proposed a plan to make money, and you once promised me a loan to operate, but now someone else has given me a benefit in private, and you immediately want to kick me away?

Ji Cheng simply played a scoundrel and said: "I don't have any money, you can play." ”

"Didn't you make a billion dollars in the foreign exchange market before?" Barkley's eyes twinkled.

Ji Cheng blinked and said: "Didn't I just buy Columbia Pictures and spend more than 4 billion, where is the money on hand." ”

Barkley's eyes became a little cold and said, "What do you mean, is Huajin Capital going to withdraw from this project of shorting soybean futures?" You brought up the plan, you called the shots for everything, and now that we have all the funds, you told us to quit? Season, it's not kind to do this! ”

Agnan still didn't speak.

John was drinking coffee with a smile on his face, and he didn't know if he was watching a play or if he had something else in mind.

"Kind?" Ji Cheng glanced at Barkley, "To tell the truth, I still want to ask you what you mean by being kind, I put forward the plan, and I have always been giving orders, wanting everyone to make money together, heh, seeing that it has reached the stage of making money, but you told me that the promised billion loan is gone, how can you let me be kind?" ”

Barkley squinted his eyes and said, "What do you mean, we don't have to talk about it?" ”

Ji Cheng yawned and said, "There's really nothing to talk about." ”

"Hehe, you think we can't play without you, do you?" Barkley burst out laughing.

Ji Cheng spread his hands and said, "I didn't say that. ”

"Since you don't have the money to come up with, there's really nothing to talk about." Barkley stood up and looked at Agnan and John, "I'll go first, if you still want to cooperate, then get in touch, as for him...... No money, no cooperation. ”

With that, Barkley left.

Egnan let out a long sigh, reached out and patted Ji Cheng on the shoulder, without saying a word, he also stood up and left the house.

Ji Cheng looked at John at this time and said slowly, "You will continue to cooperate, right?" ”

"Hmm." John nodded and said, "The chairman promised you before, that you can give you a loan of no more than one billion dollars, and this promise is still valid." ”

Ji Cheng had thought of countermeasures before he came, but he didn't expect Citibank to still be willing to lend one billion, which was something he didn't expect.

He pondered carefully, "How to calculate the interest?" ”

"The minimum interest rate on the bridge loan will be calculated for you, okay?" John asked for help.

Ji Cheng knew that Citibank's willingness to continue lending was not necessarily because of how good the relationship was with him, but more likely because he wanted him to frustrate the Rockefeller family and then take the opportunity to pick up the leak, and he didn't actually need Citibank's loan much, after all, he had already made a plan and thought about how to eat alone.

He clearly understands one thing, that is, even if he does not continue to cooperate with Vanguard Group, State Street Bank and Citibank, these three companies have invested a lot of money in soybean futures in the early stage, and it is still impossible to give up the harvest.

If you really withdraw on the surface, these companies will become extremely cautious when operating, and you may prefer to make less money than rush into the harvest when you harvest.

It's true that Ji Cheng had this idea at the beginning, if you don't provide funds, I will find another organization to eat alone.

But Barkley's actions just now angered him, Ji Cheng is no longer as simple as wanting to eat alone, he wants to let the treacherous Vanguard Group and State Street Bank suffer a little in this matter!

It's just that Citibank has expressed enough goodwill here, and Ji Cheng has always been emotional, and he doesn't know whether to pit together.

"Why don't I go back and think about it?" Ji Cheng did not directly ask for a loan.

John smiled and said, "It's okay, anyway, you just remember one sentence, since our Citi Consortium got rid of the control of the Rockefeller family, we will never be sincere to that family." ”

Ji Cheng looked into John's eyes, "Then if I say that you Citibank will stop cooperating with State Street Bank and Vanguard Group, but cooperate with me to short soybean futures, will the consortium behind you agree to my request?" ”

"Difficult." John said truthfully.

Ji Cheng sighed, "Okay, understood, then it seems that it is impossible for us to continue to cooperate, this loan ...... I probably won't be able to borrow it from you. ”

"Ji, I've known you for a long time, and I have a better relationship than Agnam and Barkley, and there is a sentence I don't know if I should tell you." John stared at Ji Cheng's eyes and said.

Ji Cheng saw that he was sincere, "You say, I'll listen carefully." ”

John said in a slightly warning tone: "The beautiful country is the beautiful country of the consortium, if you want to gain a foothold in this country, you must not only have the ability and money, but also have a certain social status, and can bring benefits to everyone, today you rejected our three companies, which is equivalent to rejecting the three major consortiums, and it will be difficult to mix in the future." ”

Ji Cheng smiled, and the picture was poor.

Sure enough, all the consortia in the beautiful country are monolithic, and before you squeeze into this circle, their interests are the most important, even if they will calculate each other in private, but they are always exclusive.

He does not accept "handouts" from one of the consortiums of Citibank, Vanguard Group and State Street Bank today, and then these consortiums will sanction themselves together, unless one day they squeeze into the circle.

But what about that?

Ji Cheng was not ready to give in to anyone.

Sometimes if you want to jump into high society, you don't rely on others to give charity, but you have to rely on yourself to get tickets!

Ji Cheng knew that he had completely broken with the three major groups today, but this was only for a short time, as long as he could get the admission ticket one day and meet the three major groups again, he would still become very harmonious, after all, the interests of the consortium always came first.

Yes!

I'll take the admission ticket myself!

The seeds of ambition that Ji Cheng had planted in his heart before finally began to take root at this moment, he not only had to get the admission ticket, but also relied on his strength to enter it, let these beautiful elders take a look, and ask the vast land, who can master the ups and downs of this country!
