Citibank, Headquarters.

"Mr. Ji."

"You're back, Mr. Ji."

The staff remained polite, as if nothing had happened.

Ji Cheng took Tom and Derek to respond with a smile and came to the elevator.

A white female staff member took the initiative to press the elevator, "Mr. Ji, please." ”

"Thank you." When Ji Cheng walked inside, he asked casually, "Is Mr. Li De busy?" ”

The white female staff member smiled: "I saw him smoking in the smoking room with Director Charlie just now, he shouldn't be too busy." ”

Because Ji Cheng is ready to accept a billion loan from Citibank, this matter will definitely be the chairman of Citibank, John. Li De nodded, John alone couldn't be the master, so he asked John. Li De is not busy.

It's easy to know that the other person is not busy.

It should save a lot of time.

Ji Cheng thought about pressing the floor.

The elevator slowly ascended, and after a while it came to the executive floor.

Ding Dong, the elevator door opened.

Ji Cheng took Tom and Derek to find John first, and then the other party informed John. Li De, the two sides talked about the loan, that is, he was soft-hearted on the surface.

Unexpectedly, however, John happened to come over.

Even Ji Cheng saw John. The backs of Li De and Director Charlie turned and entered the office.

"Huh? How did you get back? ”

John's tone looked surprised, but there was no shock in his eyes, as if he had expected Ji Cheng to come back.

Ji Cheng, who was originally straightening his chest, deliberately bent down slightly at this time, as if he seemed very stammered, and said with a smile on his face: "I went back and thought about it carefully, and I decided to accept the loan." ”

John was not surprised at all, and even had a smile on his face, "I knew you would be soft", "This matter has to be decided by the chairman, he is busy at this moment, why don't you go to the reception room to sit down?" ”

John. Will Li De be busy?

Dude just saw him and Director Charlie coming out of the smoking room!

Ji Cheng knew what Citibank had in mind, but he deliberately snubbed him, and used this way to tell him what the end would be if he was disobedient, after all, he refused the loan just now, which was equivalent to rejecting Citibank's offer, and at this time, the capital exerted force, so that he "had to" come back to "beg for mercy", how could the other party give him a loan so easily?

His heart was bright, but his face pretended not to know anything at all, and deliberately asked, "Does Mr. Li De have any customers?" ”

John casually said, "Oh, there's a big customer. ”

Ji Cheng continued to tease John and said, "The customers who can be received by the chairman of Citibank must not be ordinary people, right?" Reveal who it is. ”

How does John know who it is, this big customer is completely made up by him, at least to snub Ji Cheng for a while, but the lie has already been told, and he has to find a way to round, "cough...... Ahem, what, it seems...... It's Bill. Gates Bar...... Well, yes, that's Bill. Gates, you also know that Microsoft is getting bigger and bigger, and it has more and more money, and it always has to cooperate with banks. ”

Ji Cheng blinked and said, "Bill Gates? The super-rich? ”

John snorted, "That's him, you won't know him, will you?" ”

Ji Cheng laughed, "Eh, I really had a relationship, I haven't seen him for a long time, or I'll wait outside Mr. Li De's office, wait for Mr. Gates to come out, and just catch up with him." ”

John: "......" He didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said with a dry smile: "What, I seem to be misremembering, Mr. Gates came yesterday, who is here today?" Paul. Getty's son, Gordon.p. Getty, do you know him? ”

Ji Cheng definitely didn't know him, but he knew this person, so he pretended to suddenly realize, and said, "Are you talking about Mr. Getty, the owner of Getty Oil?" Is it that Mr. Li De met with? ”

John thought that Ji Cheng knew, and he was sweating profusely, so he quickly denied it: "No, it's not him." ”

Ji Cheng's eyes flashed with cunning, and he said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity, I thought it was Mr. Getty, and I originally wanted to get to know him through Mr. Li De." ”

Burst!

John almost vomited blood!

I don't know you, you're a kun'er! Also Fack behaves as if he knows!

"Well, I still have some things to do, or you wait in the reception room for a while, Mr. John will look for you when he is done."

When John had finished speaking, he fled.

Ji Cheng looked at John's back and couldn't help but chuckle.

Tom interjected, "Sir, I don't think the other party wants to meet you. ”

"I know."

Ji Cheng shrugged and walked towards the reception room.

Tom wondered, "Why don't you leave now that you know?" ”

"Because I want them to feel like I'm not going to survive without Citibank." Ji Cheng said.

Tom and Derek looked confused, not understanding what it meant.

Ji Cheng didn't explain to them.

The most important thing for him right now is to win Citibank's trust and buy himself time to operate.

Come to the reception room.

Ji Cheng found a single sofa to sit down very casually, and took the initiative to call John's assistant in five or six people, and asked the charming white female assistant in her forties to pour three cups of coffee for herself and two bodyguards, and even asked the female assistant excessively to bring the good cigars hidden in John's office.

It's like this is his home, not to mention how cheap the attitude is.

The female assistants were speechless to him.

Not to mention the female assistant, even Tom and Derek were drenched in a cold sweat when they saw it, and said in their hearts that their boss really didn't treat this place as an outside.

Ji Cheng didn't care what they thought at all, while drinking coffee and smoking a cigar, he leisurely turned on the perception enhancement and eavesdropped on John. The situation in Li De's office.

……

The other side.

John went around and went to the chairman's office.

Knock on the door and come in, John. Li De was chatting with Director Charlie about where to go after work, when he saw him come in and asked, "John, what's the matter with you?" ”

John looked out and made sure that Ji Cheng was in the reception room, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Mr. John, Ji Cheng from Huajin Capital is here." ”

Director Charlie laughed, "John, you really expected things to be like a god, and he really came back." ”

John. Li De smiled slightly, "If he doesn't come back, the company will be closed, and now the short of soybean futures is imminent, if you are him, he can only choose to come back and bow to me." ”

John then asked, "Sir, when will you see him?" ”

"Hang him for two hours." John. Li De said casually.

John had a plan in his heart, "Okay, then I'll hide from you, otherwise he won't know how to answer any questions." ”

John. Li De and Charlie had no opinion, and let John hide here to "take refuge".

The three of them chatted for a while.

Suddenly, Charlie asked, "When he came back to us that season, he wanted to borrow a billion, and then he must have used this money to short soybean futures, and we really lent him like this?" If he makes enough money by then, I'm afraid it will become difficult to control next, right? ”

"He's not going to make any money."

John. Li De said suddenly.

Charlie snorted, "Didn't he reveal his plan to you before, and after buying a large number of short contracts, he would expose the Fuzz Company's intention to force a position to the Chicago Board of Trade?" ”

"The First Evolution"

"Of course, how do he make money if he doesn't expose us? How did the Rockefeller family lose so much? "John. Li De did not deny it.

Charlie was a little muddy, "Since he will be exposed, then it will definitely be in the soybean ......"

Halfway through the sentence, he came to his senses!

"John, you mean......" Charlie asked cautiously tentatively, "let's hit the time difference?" ”

"Haha, it's Charlie." John. Li De smiled very happily and said: "He told us that he would expose it to the Chicago Board of Trade on July 10, we only need to let him buy a large number of short soybean futures contracts before this, and then not let him get in touch with the Chicago Board of Trade on the 10th, but we will buy a large number of short contracts and complete the over-the-counter allocation on July 10, and then this day will let the contract he bought blow up, and the billion dollar loan will be lost, and he will not be able to pay that money at that time, what do you say?" ”

"Shet! John, you're so bad! Charlie's eyes lit up, "If he doesn't pay this money, Joaquin Capital is ours, and if he wants to continue to make money on Joaquin Capital, he can only listen to us obediently." ”

John. Li De smiled and nodded.

At this time, John asked a very key question, "But he made more than a billion dollars in the foreign exchange market before, and this billion dollars should not be repaid, right?" ”

"Have you forgotten that he bought Columbia Pictures earlier?" John. Li De sneered, "Although I heard that Mielke. Milken helped him borrow money from Lehman Brothers, and promised to issue junk bonds to repay the money later, but I checked Ji's company account and found that there were only two or three hundred million dollars, and in my opinion, he took a lot of money out of the acquisition. ”

John asked again, "Will he have money in a private account?" ”

"Would you put the money you earn in a private account? Don't know how much tax to pay? "John. Li De squinted and said.

There is no saying about individual income tax in a beautiful country, and it is generally a family unit to take the initiative to declare taxes.

For example, in the modern world, the highest percentage of family tax returns in beautiful countries is 35 percent, which is still a federal tax, not counting state taxes and the like.

The corporate tax is much less, about 21% in modern society, and it can also be reasonably taxed, such as setting up a charitable foundation, and then donating to your own charitable foundation, as long as you ensure that 5% of the donated money is used for charity, then there is nothing to do.

Even if state taxes are included, corporations do not pay more than 30 percent of the tax, and in the modern world, corporations in New York pay 8.5 percent of the tax.

Now in 1989, the ratio of household tax to corporate tax is three to four points higher than that of modern society, and if Ji Cheng uses the company to file tax returns, he will probably have to pay more than 30 percent of the $100 million in taxes, and he can also reasonably avoid taxes, and the final tax payment may be less than 10 percent.

But if the money goes into the personal account, then it's embarrassing, the billions of dollars that Ji Cheng earned are only about 50% at most.

More than a billion was broken in half at once, who was stupid enough to do this?

John suddenly realized, "yes, I forgot to pay my taxes." ”

John. Li De smiled: "So I only need to check how much money he has in his company's account, what can I do with two or three hundred million dollars?" He only has one way to borrow money, and once he can't pay it back then, what else can he do except give us the equity of Huajin Capital? ”

Charlie excitedly said: "And his acquisition of Columbia Pictures will issue more than five billion dollars of junk bonds, and the interest on the bonds alone is enough to drag him to death every year, and it is impossible to regain equity at all, and we can even make a fuss about junk bonds to get more equity from him, and finally Joaquin Capital is completely reduced to a company owned by our Citibank." ”

"Bingo!" John. Li De snapped his fingers, "The premise is not to let him make money on soybean futures, otherwise it is all empty talk, but unfortunately, it is impossible for him to make money on soybean futures, because we take all the unexpected factors into account." ”

"High!"

"Mr. John, you're so tall!"

John and Charlie touted.

The sycophants of the two of them. Li De was very useful, he smiled and said: "So now we have to do only one thing, that is, don't let him be robbed by other consortiums, this billion dollars must be given to him, as long as he accepts our loan, then let us be at our mercy!" ”

……

in the reception room.

Ji Cheng listened to all this.

He couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said in his heart that Citibank really checked my account, and he arrogantly only checked the company's account.

Well, in fact, he is not afraid to check his personal account.

Ji Cheng had been afraid that the Rockefeller family would use similar means to check himself, and he didn't put the money in his personal account in the Pretty Country Bank at all.

As for not allowing himself to come into contact with the people on the Chicago Board of Trade on July 10, he really didn't expect it.

"This trick is really very bad, if I can't expose it, then I will definitely lose a lot of money if I buy a short soybean futures contract in advance."

It's a pity that Ji Cheng has always been more cautious, and he never thought about putting his eggs in the same basket at all, let alone exposing the forced position of Fuzi Company.

He'd already thought of a better idea!

We'll see when the time comes!

Ji Cheng's eyes are getting colder and colder, he originally felt that he was a little reluctant to pit Citibank, but now this emotion is completely gone, he not only wants to pit Citibank, but also let Citibank lose all its money in this soybean futures shorting!

Minutes and seconds passed.

Half an hour......

An hour......

An hour and a half passed, and John. Li De never came.

Tom and Derek, two people who have nothing to do with this matter, are a little upset for Ji Cheng.

"Sir, Citibank has gone too far with you!" Tom said indignantly.

Derek, who has always spoken little, also said at this moment: "Yes, you have been waiting here for an hour and a half, and not only did they not show up for the chairman, but even except for the female assistant, no one else showed up. ”

Ji Cheng was still at ease, took a sip of the coffee that had already been cold, and then said: "You have to be patient in life and work, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, only if you have enough patience, at the moment when the opportunity comes, can you seize it in one fell swoop." ”

Tom and Derek were puzzled by what they meant, they didn't understand what Ji Cheng meant by this.

It's true, not to mention that Tom and Derek don't understand the two martial artists, even now that John . . . It is impossible for Li De to understand what he means by this sentence.

But Ji Cheng knew in his heart that he really only had one chance, a chance to let his wealth skyrocket and have a chance to fight against the consortium.

As for John. Li De hasn't shown up until now, Ji Cheng didn't feel at ease at all, he had already eavesdropped on the perception enhancement just now, and the other party would hang himself for two hours, and now that the time has not come, of course the other party will not show up, but since he is valuable to Citibank, the other party will naturally come when the point comes.

Fortune is fickle.

Today John. How did Li De repay himself in the future!

Ji Cheng is calm.
