It's getting darker.

Aniston drifted off to sleep.

Ji Cheng glanced at the time on his phone, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Immediately, he turned on the system.

Find the image of Qin Xiaohui's coordinates.

Ji Cheng took a closer look and found that he and Ji Aiguo had arrived in Xiangjiang, and the two people in the image were led by a mustache, standing next to the public phone and dialing.

I think it's for myself, right?

Sure enough, the phone rang.

Ji Cheng quickly pressed the connect button, and then whispered in his ear: "Hey? Is it Xiaohui? ”

Qin Xiaohui's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone, "Brother Ji, how do you know it's mine?" ”

Ji Cheng glanced at the sleeping Aniston, and said in a low voice: "Don't move if you stand there, I'll be on your side in five minutes at most." ”

"Huh?"

Qin Xiaohui was a little confused.

Ji Cheng was afraid of waking Aniston, so he simply hung up without explanation.

He was just about to use the teleportation when something suddenly occurred to him, and he carefully took out a small leather bag from a drawer, which contained a hundred thousand dollars in cash for the family's spare life.

You can't go to Xiangjiang without money.

I got up and changed my clothes.

Subsequently, use the teleportation.

……

Yuen Long, northwest of the New Territories.

This is a rural place for the bustling Xiangjiang.

It's also true that this side is relatively remote, and there is farmland.

Ji Cheng was more satisfied, because the population was relatively sparse, and he didn't have to worry about being discovered.

Walking along the road in front of him for three or four hundred meters according to the coordinate image, Ji Cheng saw Qin Xiaohui, Ji Aiguo and Mustache standing next to the store and looking around.

"Brother Ji!"

Qin Xiaohui's eyes were sharp, and she saw Ji Cheng from afar and waved her hand.

Ji Aiguo also saw it along with his reputation, and hurriedly shouted: "Big brother, this way, this way." ”

Ji Cheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Do you have five minutes?" ”

"No, where are you from?" Qin Xiaohui asked curiously.

Ji Aiguo also wondered: "Aren't you on the side of the beautiful country?" ”

"Oh, I've been here for Xiangjiang for a long time." Ji Chenghu said, then looked at the mustache, "Are you a snake head?" ”

The mustache stared at Ji Cheng for a long time, muttering in Cantonese and not knowing what to say, the speed of speech was too fast.

Ji Cheng didn't understand it very well, so he asked again in English.

Basically, the people of Xiangjiang after the fifties can speak English, and there is no accident, and the mustache immediately replied in English: "How can I be a snakehead, breaking the law, I will pick up the people in the boat for them." ”

"You're a local?" Ji Cheng nodded, and directly ordered: "Find me a car and send us to Central." ”

The mustache pouted and said, "If I send people to the platform, I will complete the task, so why should I find you a car?" ”

Ji Cheng didn't say a word, and took out two hundred-dollar bills from his pocket.

The mustache's attitude changed greatly, and he immediately smiled and said, "Boss, wait a minute, I'll go find the car." ”

The mustache hurried away.

Qin Xiaohui blinked her eyes and said, "Brother Ji, is there anything wrong with you calling me to Xiangjiang in such a hurry?" ”

Ji Aiguo stood next to him and wondered.

Ji Cheng can't say that I asked you to come over as a coordinate, right? He said nonsense: "Oh, isn't this patriotic about to get married, I promised to hold a grand wedding for him, this wedding always needs a wedding dress or something, there are not so many domestic styles, so let you and patriotism come to Xiangjiang to see, girls are more detailed, I see that you are usually very good at dressing up, so I want you to pick a wedding dress, well, I've been busy lately, just these two days." ”

Ji Aiguo was moved when he heard it.

Qin Xiaohui didn't expect Ji Cheng to hand over such an important task as choosing a wedding dress to her, and she immediately had no doubts.

A few people chatted a little.

Mustache came in a taxi, he got out of the car, and said, "Boss, the car is here for you, pay the fare yourself, I'll go home first." ”

Ji Cheng hummed and let Qin Xiaohui sit in the passenger seat, while he and Ji Aiguo went to the back row.

The driver, a middle-aged man in his forties, came up and asked in Mandarin with a strong Cantonese accent, "Are you going to Central?" ”

"Yes."

Ji Cheng answered, and then asked, "Do you have a mobile phone?" Lend me a call. ”

The driver was a little speechless and said: "It's expensive to call from a mobile phone......"

Before he finished speaking, a hundred-dollar bill appeared in front of him.

The driver immediately changed his tone, "This is for you." ”

He took off his mobile phone from his waist and handed it to Ji Cheng in the back row.

Qin Xiaohui and Ji Aiguo looked at it secretly, on the one hand, Ji Cheng spent a lot of money, and casually sold a dollar bill of 100 yuan, and on the other hand, a taxi driver in Xiangjiang could afford a mobile phone, which was too arrogant for them.

Ji Cheng dialed the phone according to the phone number given by Zheng Chun.

Soon connected, and the voice of an elderly man in his sixties came from the other end, speaking in Cantonese, but the speed of speech was relatively slow, Ji Cheng understood, "Hello, I'm Zheng Yutong." ”

Ji Cheng hurriedly said: "Hello Uncle Tong, I am Zheng Chun's friend Ji Cheng. ”

The lazy voice suddenly became energetic, and Uncle Tong smiled and said, "It's Ji Sheng, where have you been?" I'll send someone to fetch you. ”

Although Uncle Tong is over sixty years old and is one of the richest people in Xiangjiang, he still gave Ji Cheng face and called him "Ji Sheng", of course, not because Ji Cheng was Zheng Chun's friend, but because of the wealth that Ji Cheng mastered.

People are polite to themselves, Ji Cheng didn't get carried away, and still said very modestly: "Thank you, Uncle Tong, don't call me Ji Sheng, I'm a junior, just call me Xiao Ji." ”

Uncle Tong was very satisfied with Ji Cheng's attitude, "Hehe, then I'll call you Chengzai." ”

In Xiangjiang, "Zai" is mostly used to refer to children, young people or people who have a close relationship, and Uncle Tong calls Ji Cheng like this, obviously trying to get closer.

"Okay, Uncle Tong." Ji Cheng paused, "I'll take the car directly to Central now, or will we see you at Standard Chartered Bank?" ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Hang up.

Ji Cheng returned the mobile phone to the driver, and while talking nonsense with Ji Aiguo and Qin Xiaohui, he was thinking about how to persuade Bao Yugang to do things for him later, and it was best to pay a smaller price.

……

An hour, Central.

Ji Cheng saw Uncle Tong, and he asked Uncle Tong to let him take Ji Aiguo and Qin Xiaohui around first, while he went upstairs with Uncle Tong.

In the elevator, Ji Cheng looked at the Standard Chartered Bank Building that was being rebuilt not far away, and said a little stunned: "How did the Standard Chartered Bank Building be rebuilt?" ”

Uncle Tong smiled and said: "Before, Standard Chartered Bank couldn't make ends meet, so I had to sell the building, otherwise how do you think Bao Sheng and them got into Standard Chartered Bank?" ”

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

Ji Cheng suddenly realized, and he also got an important information, that is, the development of Standard Chartered Bank is not very smooth.

After a while, I came upstairs.

Ji Cheng met with Bao Yugang and Qiu Deba, who are now the actual leaders of Standard Chartered Bank.

"Haha, Zheng Sheng, long time no see."

"Bao Sheng, how are you doing?"

"This is Ji Sheng, the top entrepreneur of the beautiful country you said, right? He looks so young. ”

"The future is terrifying, I have rich assets at a young age, and I just became a bank manager when I was as young as Ji Sheng."

Ji Cheng exchanged a few words with Bao Yugang, Qiu Deba and others.

Everyone was very supportive of Ji Cheng in their tone, after all, Bao Yugang and others knew that Ji Cheng came over this time and might become the biggest customer in the history of Standard Chartered Bank, how could they not praise it?

Finally, the people came to the meeting room.

After Bao Yugang asked the assistant to pour the best tea leaves for everyone, he took the initiative to ask: "Ji Sheng, I heard Zheng Sheng say that you have a big business for us to do?" ”

Qiu Deba, Robert. Holmes and the others all showed expectant eyes, they all knew that Ji Cheng was big and worth billions of dollars, if he could really receive business from such a wealthy person, it would not only be a matter of making money or not for Standard Chartered Bank, but it would be able to make a name for himself in one fell swoop, so as to attract more customers.

Uncle Tong, as the introducer, was completely silent at this moment, obviously, he knew that it was inconvenient to say anything more on this occasion.

Ji Cheng sat on the sofa, took a sip of Longjing tea, and then put the teacup down, "Hmm, this tea is good." ”

"If Ji Sheng likes it, I'll ask someone to give you a few catties of Mingqian Longjing later." Wrapped up in Gangdao.

"Thank you." Ji Cheng didn't shirk either, and immediately began to talk about business, "That's the case, I have a relatively urgent business here, I want to ask you if you have the ability to make a decision." ”

Bao Yugang and others were sitting in danger.

"Ji Sheng, please speak." Qiu Deba stretched out his hand and said politely.

Ji Chengdao: "What about me, I want to short the soybean futures ...... the Chicago Board of Trade market"

"No problem." Qiu Deba agreed.

"Qiu Sheng, you listen to me first." Ji Cheng smiled and said: "I know that your company also has business in the beautiful country, and shorting soybean futures is not a problem, but my requirements are more demanding." ”

Bao Yugang and the others didn't speak this time, and listened carefully to him.

"First, I will take out one to two hundred million dollars to buy a large number of short contracts in soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade, according to the normal leverage ratio of futures, and in addition, I will take out one billion dollars of over-the-counter allocation, the same ten times leverage."

Ji Cheng said unhurriedly.

In fact, he would like to make a little more leverage, but now the price of soybean futures has exceeded the peak of 8.2951 in 1989 in his memory, and if the leverage ratio is too large, as long as there is a slight fluctuation, he will lose all his billions of dollars.

Therefore, the first word that Ji Cheng thought of was stability, first make a profit from shorting, and then wait until the soybean futures price collapsed to buy the bottom with high leverage, and make tens of billions of dollars.

In fact, according to the current price of soybean futures and the lowest price in memory of 1989, even if Ji Cheng only invests 11.2 billion US dollars to short with 10 times leverage, as long as he succeeds, he can still make billions of dollars.

Big business of 1.2 billion dollars!

Bao Yugang, Qiu Deba and others were short of breath when they heard it!

They wanted to say it right away, but considering that Ji Cheng hadn't finished speaking, they swallowed the words and continued to listen carefully.

"The second request is a bit excessive." Ji Cheng's tone was very slow, as if he deliberately wanted everyone to hear clearly, "I need you to buy these short contracts and over-the-counter allocations with countless companies or individuals of different legal entities in a short period of time, and the net short of each company or individual shall not exceed two million bushels." ”

Bao Yugang was a little speechless and said, "Ji Sheng, this is a bit difficult." ”

The 1.2 billion US dollars leveraged by 10 times leverage is 12 billion, even according to the current soybean futures price, so much money must be a net short of more than 100 million bushels, and the net short of each company shall not exceed 2 million bushels, that is, it will take more than 50 companies or individuals to complete the transaction.

Ji Cheng looked at the past calmly, "Then can you do it?" ”

The big business of 1.2 billion US dollars, Bao Yugang said that he couldn't give up anything, he gritted his teeth and said: "It should be okay to give enough time." ”

Ji Cheng said: "You only have a day and a half. ”

Qiu Deba lost his voice and said: "Impossible! It's impossible! ”

Buy a short soybean futures contract with a net short of more than 100 million bushels in a day and a half? And to buy contracts in dozens of units?

It's impossible to do it no matter how you look at it!

But Ji Cheng still looked very calm, "That's all I want, you can do it, I can sign a contract with you immediately, if you can't do it, I can talk to HSBC." ”

"Can't the net short be a little more per unit?" Bao Yugang asked.

Ji Cheng shook his head, "No, it can't exceed two million bushels." ”

Bao Yugang smiled bitterly: "Aren't you embarrassed?" ”

Qiu Deba also said helplessly: "Yes, the time is too short, and it is too late to operate." ”

Ji Cheng laughed, "Isn't this the time to test your Standard Chartered Bank's ability?" If you can make this order for me, after the settlement, Standard Chartered Bank will become famous, and you will make far more money than you get a commission. ”

"Let's talk about it."

Bao Yugang got up and said.

Qiu Deba and others also stood up.

Ji Cheng said: "I only give you twenty minutes to discuss, beyond this time, I can only find other institutions to do this." ”

"Okay."

Bao Yugang, Qiu Deba and others walked outside.

Uncle Tong didn't go out, but looked sideways curiously, "Cheng Zai, it's very embarrassing for you to do this, can I ask why?" ”

Of course, Ji Cheng knew that it would be very difficult to do this, but he gathered an important piece of information from the modern society, that is, after the Chicago Board of Trade discovered Fuzz's attempt to force a position, it reported to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission of the United States.

According to a final investigation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, as of July 10, 1989, Fuzz had established a long soybean position of 22 million bushels. This number of positions is seven times the limit of speculative trading positions, and this figure is also more than five times the limit positions of any other market participant, which already accounts for 53% of the short volume of the July contract. After discovering the attempt, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved to the public that the futures position held by Richford exceeded 85 percent of the total market position at that time.

Since then, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has taken three measures to prevent the risk from further expanding: first, to stop Fuzz from making new transactions; The second is the requirement that any individual or legal entity with a net long or net short position of more than 3 million bushels in the July 1989 soybean contract must reduce its position and reduce it by at least 20 percent on each subsequent trading day, beginning with the opening of trading on July 12. Thirdly, the margin of the positions held by the Futz company was raised.

There is a very important information here, that is, if Ji Cheng's net short exceeds three million bushels, he will also be hit head-on, and when the time comes, let alone whether he makes money or not, it is a luxury to lose a little.

Therefore, he asked Standard Chartered Bank to operate it for himself, and each unit should not exceed two million bushels of net short, so that he would not be affected.

The most important thing is that Ji Cheng has not disclosed this information to anyone from beginning to end.

In other words, if Citibank, State Street and Vanguard really do what he said before, even if all the procedures are exactly the same as him, as long as the net short of a single unit exceeds 3 million bushels, it will definitely lose all its money.

Nine points true and one point false, this is the highest level of lying!

Ji Cheng has decided on those consortia!

He didn't explain to Uncle Tong why, and the gag passed.

Uncle Tong knew that this was a trade secret, and since Ji Cheng didn't want to say it, he couldn't continue to ask.

Not long after, Bao Yugang, Qiu Deba and others returned to the reception room.

Ji Cheng looked over with a smile, "How did you discuss?" ”

Qiu Deba and the others looked at Bao Yugang.

Bao Yugang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this list is accepted!" ”

Hearing this, Ji Cheng was overjoyed, and said that this time he would not be able to kill the big consortia such as Citibank, State Street Bank and Pioneer Group? Oh, by the way, especially the Rockefeller family, which invested at least tens of billions in soybean futures this time, I'm afraid I'm going to cry to death this time!
